Our series on God’s Ruach takes us deep into the Hebrew word for breath, wind, mind, body.  This Biblical Mind shift to change our perception of God’s spirit through the ancient writer’s eyes has Belinda all in a tizzy.  Ruach has many different meanings within the movement of God’s word.

Amy and Belinda try to untangle this Hebrew word and what it does to shift their mind about the power behind God’s spirit. Ruach.  What does Ruach mean in the Hebrew Bible? 

 In the Hebrew Bible, Ruach can refer to both God and man.  The Hebrew word carries more than one meaning and therefore sends Belinda Phillips into knots as she tries to get past Genesis 1 in the opening book of the Bible.  How can we have more than one meaning and how do we apply this to the way we have been taught in the past?   

Yahweh is the source of life. Yahweh’s Ruach gives life to all of creation.   This creation includes the sky, land, and sea as well as our source.  The problem is, is that we have so many words for so many things that we fail to see the power behind Yahweh and his life-giving Ruach.  

The word Ruach when applied to Yahweh means a divine activity.  How powerful is Yahweh Elohim as he empowers us to live for him!
