• Illustration: In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Aslan frees those that have been put under a spell by breathing on them.

• Scripture: Ezekiel 36:26-27
• God breathes his being into ours, and changes our calloused, hardened hearts into ones that are alive, responsive, and pulsating with spiritual life.
• Scripture: John 3; 20:21-22

• There is nothing deader in history than dead orthodoxy.
• Surrender, for there is no guarantee this wind will ever blow in your direction again.

• There isn't a single person who can save a soul.
• There is no work of God without God.

• Scripture: Ezekiel 37
• Ezekiel preached, and the bones grew flesh, but "there was no breath in them;" they were still utterly dead.
• God told Ezekiel to prophesy to the wind and summon it from the four corners; when the wind came, they lived.

• God is looking for men and women who can faithfully articulate the word to a dying generation and who can prophesy to the wind.
• The wind shows that it is God's work, so that all glory will go to God and no one else.

• God commands us to summon him because he's more eager to come than we are to ask him to come, more eager to save than we are to ask him to save.
