Air is a very spiritual thing, for it is something outside of us that we must internalize in order to survive.  We must take something outside of us and welcome it inside of us to continue living.  It's the same with food and water but we can go for quite some time without internalizing those, compared with air, which we must take in every few seconds, every day, for our entire lives.

Spiritually  it's exactly the same for us. If we want to survive spiritually,  we must breathe in the Holy Spirit-  every moment of every day.  The English word "spirit" comes from the Latin word "spiritus"; meaning "breath" or, in it's earliest form -  "to breathe".

We are like new born babies when we first enter His kingdom-  and like them -  we must take that all important first breath, and we never stop breathing in the Holy Spirit after that. I used to think water baptism was symbolic of our baptism into the Holy Spirit-  but being baptized into the atmosphere,  like a baby coming out of the womb, is a better analogy. The baby is in the air (after being surrounded by water, which represents the Word), then the air is in the baby. We are in the Spirit,  then the Spirit is in us -  and all our lives our flesh is completely surrounded by and submerged in air - an ocean of air -  and all our spiritual lives our fleshly lusts and desires must be submerged in the Spirit-  that we might not sin against the One who gave us the breath we need to survive.  And all that comes inside us must pass through us to the outside again.  It nourishes us and encourages us -  gives us energy to do all we are called to. Food and water carry with them impurities when they leave us, but air -  we breathe upon each other whenever we meet, as Jesus did to his disciples  in the upper room. We breathe out the same Spirit we breathe in, do we not? Some -  the spirit is holy, others, demonic, but all are intaking, partaking of, a spirit of some kind, every moment of every day.  Either the spirit our Christ was full of, which is holy, or the spirit of the Anti-Christ,  which is unholy. Think about your next breath -  who's spirit are you breathing in?

People will end up in Heaven or Hell based on which spirit they inhaled their luves. The Father will one day inhale his Spirit, withdrawing him from the earth -  then the only spirit available will be the one full of hell.

Angels then as spirits -  are like gusts of wind God sends forth -  blowing where he pleases. When we are born, "not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" -  we are like Adam, when God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. God breathes his Spirit into us and like Adam, we become eternally living souls once again  -  We are the restoration of all God lost through Adam's fall, when he breathed in, when he partook of, Satan's spirit.  It is the Father's good pleasure to give to the second Adam's brethren what He originally wanted to give to the first Adam's seed. I thank God that we are so intimate with the Holy Spirit that we cannot survive at all without Him. We get to welcome Him inside us, and share Him with others, so they may breathe Him in, our entire lives. Hallelujah!
