A New Breath: coming into ones own, becoming a living soul

-->
I had a conversation with several friends expressing my new revelation from within.    I am beginning to ease and relax in this thin layer of tissue forming my natural outer covering, you know, the thing we call skin.  I have entered a new season of breathing once again.  Deep right? Well, when I communicated this information with excitement and great expression, I was poised with a question, “Demetria what does that mean; you are able to breath again?”


Clearly what I thought was an epiphany was only the surface of my journey. I realized that I was going to have to dig deeper to convince myself that I wasn’t just speaking to give information on a feeling or idea. Not at all! I needed to have understanding that what was being revealed to me about me, was more then just a word or thought but it was my ultimate reality.

I paused, took a breath, dug deep and replied with a certainty… “I am no longer on a respirator, relaying on human opinions, thoughts, or circumstances to help my air to circulate.  I live by the process of taking air into and expelling it from the lungs which God has given me; in turn, I perceive the intended meaning of my truth and identity.”  

The fact of being who I am didn’t actually have an objective existence until my land of hurt was water by the ultimate comforter causing me to become a living soul.

Gen 2:5-7 explains it best,

Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the LORD God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

What is your process of formation?  What needs to be watered, so that you can breath again and become a living soul?

  3. Awesome Demetria!!!Regarding the watering I think when we get serious with God., he allows enough challenges in life to bring us to a place where we don't need to be watered but the roots have grown deep and has found the source to the spring. When you get to that place out of you shall flow rivers of living water that will water the dry places on the earth. Samaritan woman.., she was thirsty all her life but when she found Christ she never thirsted again. She became a spring to water others.
