BREATH in man

 

James 1:17

King James Version

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift 

is from above, and cometh down 

from the Father of lights, 

with whom is no variableness, 

neither shadow of turning.


WELCOME to this third article in the "BREATH of GOD" series!

Now, we look into the breath of life given man.

What is he to do with it?

How is he to use it?

Here's where SPIRIT, and Scripture led us:

Job 27:3-4

King James Version

3 All the while my breath is in me, 

and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, 

nor my tongue utter deceit.


Job 33:4

King James Version

4 The spirit of God hath made me, 

and the breath of the Almighty 

hath given me life.


Job 34:14-15

King James Version

14 If he set his heart upon man, 

if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

15 All flesh shall perish together, 

and man shall turn again unto dust.


Psalm 150:6

King James Version

6 Let every thing that hath breath 

praise the Lord. 

Praise ye the Lord.


Ecclesiastes 12:7

King James Version

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: 

and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.


Isaiah 2:22

King James Version

22 Cease ye from man, 

whose breath is in his nostrils: 

for wherein is he to be accounted of ?


Isaiah 40:7-8

King James Version

7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: 

because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: 

surely the people is grass.

8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: 

but the word of our God shall stand for ever.


James 4:14

King James Version

14 Whereas ye know not 

what shall be on the morrow. 

For what is your life? 

It is even a vapour, 

that appeareth for a little time, 

and then vanisheth away.
