Wind Power

December 10, 2018 By admin

The moaning howl of a 50 mph wind woke me from a deep sleep last night. I could hear the whining gusts moving through the tree line that runs alongside our property, and I pulled the blankets up tighter around my chin. “Ooooooooooo-Eeeeeeeee.”  There’s something both comforting and foreboding about this hollow, eerie sound, and I can’t quite understand how I can feel both of those emotions simultaneously. I do though, and when a windstorm begins its noisy utterance at night, all sorts of destructive scenarios present themselves to me.

When my ears are confronted with particularly high winds (and we hear them quite often on our small farmstead), I am uncomfortably aware of my human vulnerability because of the immense potential power that could be displayed. I’ve seen the effects of tornadoes that ripped through the homes of people just like me, and it’s both frightening and awe-inspiring to think that wind could do that much damage to anything in the physical realm. Wind cannot be seen, but the effects of the wind are often tangible.

“Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit” ( John 3:7-8, NKJV).

Jesus used this windy metaphor to aptly describe the work of the Holy Spirit. When holiness meets humanness, amazing things begin to take shape. Former desires for self dissipate, and the heart of the affected individual takes a positive direction in ways that may seem almost impossible.

“I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed” ( Ezekiel 36:26, Message).

Wind is an amazing agent of potential action. We can’t see it but the effects of it are too clear to ignore. The divine “wind” of the Holy Spirit can move in someone who was previously unable to make changes by themselves. Its power is not readily noticed with the naked eye, but the inevitable effects are witnessed when a negatively challenged life is positively altered.

Michael Temple writes from North Dakota.

The Mighty Wind

October 22, 2015 By admin

Photo: iStock

I was startled in my hotel room by an unusual noise that I didn’t recognize and so I crept to the window to take a peek. Looking out of my third story window, I noticed that the flag pole was flexing like a reed in a storm, and the flag was flapping violently. I got dressed and made my way down to the hotel lobby where I met the manager helplessly watching through the front window.

The park bench in the breezeway toppled over, and the potted shrubs that lined the front of the entrance skittered here and there across the parking lot. This wind was stronger than anything that I had ever encountered, and I learned later that sudden gusts of 80 mph had been tabulated in many areas that evening. I never saw the wind that night, but I witnessed its effects as I watched the tangible evidence that it was rushing through.

Later, as I reflected on that blustery experience, I was reminded of an analogy that Jesus brought to a Pharisee named Nicodemus. This man was a genuine seeker of truth, but was having difficulty in wrapping his thoughts around heavenly things. He sought Christ in the darkness of night, and as he struggled to understand, Jesus explained the experience that one has when the Holy Spirit is at work in their life.

The Wind and the Spirit

“Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit” (John 3:6-8).

When the Holy Spirit is at work in our lives something tangible and miraculous takes place. This invisible presence visibly affects who we are, the choices that we make, and who we become if we allow it to blow through our lives. The effect can be quite startling, not only to us, but to the world that watches. Positive changes occur in our spiritual experience when the invisible Spirit wind blows.
