Spring Cleaning—Let in the Cleansing Wind by David Jeremiah

Spring Cleaning—Let in the Cleansing Wind

APRIL 28, 2018

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Acts 2:2

 Recommended Reading: Acts 4:31-35

There was a day when homes weren’t equipped with vacuum cleaners, central air and heat, and multi-pane windows that seal the home from outside impurities. That meant that a regular part of spring cleaning was flinging open the windows to let fresh air in and hanging rugs on a clothesline and beating the dust out of them.

While those practices are no longer routine, the notion of using fresh air as a cleanser is very biblical. In both the Old and New Testaments, the words in the original language for spirit were also the words for wind or breath. It is no wonder that Paul admonished believers to be “filled with the Spirit” on an ongoing basis (Ephesians 5:18). Like the wind, the Spirit of God blows where He will (John 3:8). And He is always willing to come into your life afresh for new power, fruit, gifts, and guidance.

Purpose today to invite the Spirit to fill you with kingdom breath, kingdom wind—to air out the house of your heart with the wind of the Spirit.

The word is the chariot of the Spirit, the Spirit the Guider of the word.
