Living Air
THE SPIRITUAL RESPIRATORY SYSTEM 

(Symbolized as the Breath of God)

​Genesis 2:7 KJV  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Living Air-Spiritual Body's Respiratory System

The Spiritual Body Clinic uses the analogy of the body's respiratory defenses—such as the filtering, moistening, and warming of air by the nasal passages—to illustrate the importance of continual prayer and spiritual vigilance. Drawing on scriptural references, it emphasizes that just as physical barriers protect against disease, unwavering prayer and faith serve as essential spiritual defenses, guarding believers from harm and empowering them to experience God's presence and mighty works.

Prayer

Just as physical mucus in the respiratory system acts as a barrier, filtering out airborne bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances before they reach the lungs, prayer serves as a spiritual protection against negative influences. In the past, people often followed the ways of the world, influenced by unseen spiritual forces, as described in Ephesians 2:2. The process of filtering in the nasal passages captures particles, which are then swept away by the movement of the mucous membrane, preventing them from entering deeper into the body.

Spiritual Body Clinic explores the parallels between physical and spiritual protection, emphasizing the role of prayer as "spiritual mucus" that safeguards the soul from harmful influences, much like the body's mucous membranes filter, moisten, and warm inhaled air to protect the lungs. It integrates biblical references to illustrate how continuous prayer and faith create a spiritual barrier, while disbelief and neglect of spiritual practices can diminish divine works and leave one vulnerable. The text highlights both the physiological importance of healthy nasal passages and the spiritual necessity of maintaining an active relationship with God through prayer.
