Text: Isaiah 30:28, Psalm 18:15-16
And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
………….

Then the channels of water were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at the rebuke, O Lord at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters.

DEFINITION
Breathing is the act of taking in and sending out air (from the lungs)
The act of breathing out (i.e exhaling) has several uses in humans. It is used to blow out small flames (e.g candle flame), to cool hot objects, to sieve/fan items (e.g handfuls of grain, groundnut, etc) amongst others.

CONTEXT
In Isaiah 30:28, the prophets explained that God’s breath, like an overflowing stream (or flood) will sweep his enemies. That breath shall sieve the nations, so that God can separate the righteous from the unrighteous in preparation for divine judgement.
Psalm 18:15-16 explains one of God’s ways of delivering His beloved. Here, God breathed upon the waters, and they parted, so much so that the bottom of the sea (or the foundation of the earth), which was concealed hitherto, became manifest (e.g Red Sea, River Jordan) Thus, God could much more easily rescue His beloved from the depth of the waters.

RELEVANCE
You can use the breath of the lord as a weapon of warfare in a number of cases.
1. If you want God to separate the just from the unjust before He sends down His judgement , ask for the breath of the Lord.
2. If you are involved in warfare prayers, or during deliverance sessions, and you diagnose the activity of water spirits (marine spirits, queen of the Coast, mammy water, etc) you can call down the breath of the lord to blow off their (spiritual) cover, and it will be easier to deal with them.
3. When the Holy Ghost reveals that certain demonic objects hidden in a water body (lake, river, sea etc.) Is the cause of the problem, the breath of the Lord can be invoked to deal with the problem.
4. The breath of the lord is a potent “sieve” to blow away chaff from the wheat in the house of God. Thus, when you notice that agents of the devil have crept into the church, and it is difficult to identify them physically, pray using the t breath of the Lord to blow them away.
5. Whenever you are confronted with a mysterious circumstance, which is difficult to understand, ask for the breath of the Lord to expose the secret. An African adage says, when the wind blows, you shall see the hidden genitals of the chicken.
6. Also, whenever you face a situation that threatens to “choke” or “swallow” you, use the breath of the Lord to free yourself.
