John 3:8 (NIV)
8 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.”

The Spirit of God can’t be pinned down and therefore neither can those born of the Spirit. We are like the wind, being blown wherever the Spirit pleases. This is deep stuff that Jesus is talking about. Jesus is talking about heavenly things but he uses the earthly things to explain the spiritual. Nicodemus can’t understand a thing Jesus is saying because he is thinking from an earthly – what can be seen perspective. Yet even the wind – an earthly thing – couldn’t be understood clearly in this day. They didn’t know where it came from or why it came, only that it came. How do you know that the wind is here except you see it’s effect on the place where it is. That is how we are like the wind – those who have been born again. You can see the effect that we have – that is how you know we are around. There is much more about seeing the spirit realm and believing, but let me just say this, you are a powerful spiritual force that people won’t understand. All they will understand is that when you are around things happen that are absent when you are absent. Determine right now to have an impact on your surroundings wherever you go and bring glory to the wind maker – star creator – the Father of all!
