Job 32:8 - “But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding."
Before we were born again of God, our spirits were lifeless. Jesus Christ, through His indwelling Spirit has breathed life once again into our mortal bodies, causing us to take on the immortal. Just as Adam drew breath from God, there is life in no other than the Almighty as He chooses to give us understanding through His Spirit. If we say we know God and yet rely purely upon our own intellect or ability, then we are functioning from a soulish place.
The devil through our flesh will always seek to imitate God's Spirit within a man. However, there is a marked difference. The carnal flesh will tend to exalt itself, while the Spirit of God in the spirit of a man or woman will always lift up Jesus. The breath of the soul is foul to the senses, while the breath of the Spirit is always sweet and desirable! May we all manifest His Spirit through humble submission, invoking the breath of God to waft over our spirits to others.
