Afflatus

I love to learn new words....so many words ....who knew? This will help one interpret the next post. Tozer used some great words....that is not what made his thoughts so inspired but this word probably had something to do with that.

Word of the Day

1) "miraculous communication of supernatural knowledge," 1665, from L. afflatus "a breathing upon, blast," from pp. stem of afflare "to blow upon," from ad- "to" + flare "to blow".

2) A strong creative impulse, especially as a result of divine inspiration.

3) inspiration; an impelling mental force acting from within.

4) divine communication of knowledge.
