Born "according to the Spirit"
So far in this book, we have carefully examined what it
means to be ‘born according to the flesh’. Yahusha and all the rest of the
Children of Yahuah are all born according to the flesh, then reborn ‘by the
Spirit’ upon Mikveh (born again), then risen Divine ‘according to the
Spirit’ upon Resurrection.
In this chapter, I am going to discuss exactly what the
“Holy Spirit” or Set Apart Ruach truly is. Is it an individual person of a
greater Godhead as the pagan doctrine of the Trinity teaches? Is it in anyway a
person at all as we read in our mistranslated English Bibles that it is a ‘he’?
Or is The Ruach an ‘it’? And if so, what does that mean? This is important,
because The Way of the Nazarene depends on a firm understanding of the process
by which we are Adopted into the Family of Yahuah. Christianity has taught for
1,700 years that the “Holy Spirit” is... well an individual entity, an
extension of/personification of a Divine Godhead known as The Trinity. A
“Divine Emanation” coming from a Triune Godhead consisting of an Eternal
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If you still believe that, then you worship
“another god” in the image of the Babylonian concept of the Divine. I invite
you to read my book, Christianity and the Great Deception first,
and overcome that concept of divinity.

Many are “coming out of Babylon” and the first step out is
to deny the pagan trinity and come back to the one and ONLY True God… Yahuah.
John 17:3 3
Now this is Eternal Life: that they know
you (Yahuah), the Only True God, and (come to You through) Yahusha who is the Messiah, whom
You have sent (in Fulfillment of Your Promises as
foretold through the Prophets to be the Mediator).
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is One God (Yahuah) and One Mediator between Yahuah and mankind, the man
Yahusha the Messiah.
One of the issues facing mankind (that is inhibiting us
from finding The Narrow Gate) is that we are never taught what Mystery
Babylon is. What is that religion exactly? What gods did they worship and what
rituals did they keep? How can we “come out of her My people” if we do not
understand these things to know which of our beliefs are founded in Babylon and
which are founded in Scripture? I have written a book that does just that; Mystery
Babylon the Religion of the Beast.

Still today there is confusion as to what the Ruach HaKadesh
“is”. Is it a person or is it a thing? Everyone seems to have their own take on
this issue, and yet very few will admit they don’t know! But if we all are
honest with ourselves, the fact is, we do not understand it fully. So, in this
chapter, I will introduce us to the reality of this Set Apart Spirit called The
Ruach and help shed some Light on this confusing issue. Finally
bringing into context The Nazarene who was ‘born according to the flesh’ then
‘Begotten Divine by the Ruach according to the Spirit’.
Romans 1
2 concerning Yahusha, which Yahuah Promised
beforehand (he did not pre-exist)
through His Prophets in the Holy Scriptures (both The
Heavenly and Earthly Scrolls), 3 concerning His Son, who was born of a
Descendant of David (through both parents) according
to the flesh (by human gestation/generation/procreation
ONLY, outside of any Divine Influence, opposed to Yahuah and prone to sin, g4561
‘sarki’), 4 who was Declared (Divine)
the Son of Yahuah with Power by the Resurrection from the dead (NOT his human birth), according to the Spirit of
Holiness (Yahuah’s ‘Spiritual’ Seed), Yahusha the Messiah.
Those who teach Incarnation, teach sound bite doctrine, not
sound doctrine. They ignore the overwhelming evidence that Yahusha was
Predestined as a human High Priest chosen among men to serve Yahuah. The risen
Divine to prove The Way works and remove our ‘fear of death’.
We are taught a Babylonian doctrine that The Ruach is a
Ghost! A Divine Emanation of Yahuah, part of a Godhead. The fact that this
“entity” if that is what the Ruach truly is, has no personal name, is a nail in
the coffin of The Trinity. The Ruach is not an individual “Ghost” or “Person”
or “Deity” in any way, shape, or fashion. In both Greek and Hebrew, “Spirit”
means “breath or wind” in the sense of “to blow” as the Ruach is the
Life-Giving Breath of the Creator an ‘it’, not person.
So, any attempt to deceive by translation, by choosing a
personal pronoun ‘he’, is blaspheming the Creator Who Alone is the Immortal,
Invisible, God and Creator of all things.
Greek: Pneuma;
to breathe, blow, primarily denotes the wind. Breath; the spirit which, like
the wind, is invisible, immaterial, and powerful” (The Complete Word Study New
Testament, “Pneuma”).
Hebrew: Strong’s h7307 (rucha, ruach)
in Aramaic and Hebrew, is feminine whereas in Greek (pneuma), it is neuter in
gender. Brown-Driver-Briggs primary definition 1a - 1 breath of mouth or
nostrils.
Every definition of Spirit is that of an ‘it’ not a ‘he’.
The translators, as I have shown repeatedly in this book, chose words in
error to write into the Scriptures, the doctrine of The Trinity and Incarnation.
The Ruach is the Life-Giving Breath of Yahuah, it is like "the
wind" just like your breath is like "the wind"... it is Yahuah
literally “blowing or breathing” into or over you. We see this is exactly what
the Messiah Proclaimed... The Ruach is like “the wind” and is an “it”!
John 3:7
6 Flesh(ly body)
is born of flesh, but Spirit (body) is born of
the Spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The
wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it
comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit (Ruach Hakadesh as Yahuah breaths life back into your dead
Spirit).”
Each human Yahuah created was intended to be
an Eternal being like Adam and Eve. Born with a physical body, a natural mind,
and an Eternal Spirit (Body, Mind, Spirit). After the fall of man, every
human created was born with a body and mind and a dead Spirit (as death was
passed to all men, Romans 5:12). Including the Messiah (as I
showed in this book when Yahusha was born again through Living Water and Fire).
The Ruach is the Spiritual equivalent to your Spiritual Body as human blood is to
your physical body. There is both a physical and Spiritual Body.
1 Corinthians 15
43 Your body is sown in
dishonor; it is raised in Glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in Power.
44 It is sown a natural body (according to the flesh);
it is raised a Spiritual body (with Power according to
the Ruach, Romans 1:2-4). If there is a natural body,
there is also a Spiritual body. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became
a living being;” the last Adam (became upon Resurrection,
Romans 1:2-4) a life-giving Spirit (through Covenant, giving all those who enter into The Yahushaic
Covenant the right to be Adopted Eternal into the Family of Yahuah, John
1:12).
You cannot survive without human blood, life
is in the blood and the blood determines “family”. Blood is the
"life" of the physical body just as the Ruach is the "Life"
of the Spiritual Body and also determines “Family”. Family, in human terms, is
determined by the same blood running through the veins of the family members. Family
of Yahuah is determined by the same Spirit. This is a Divine physical to
Spiritual Parallel of the Ruach.
You are Adopted into the Family of Elohim upon
being Mikveh'd by Water and Fire. Yahuah pours out His Spirit into our bodies (like
He did Yahusha) in Fulfillment of His Promise in The Yahushaic Covenant. This
is when Yahuah “breathes life” back into your dead Spirit; we call this
being Born Again. This is literally, “the Promise” of the ReNewed
Covenant called ‘The Yahushaic Covenant’ that makes it “new, unlike the Covenant
Yahuah made with our ancestors”, Hebrews 8:9 and Jeremiah
31:32.
John 14:26
26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send (breathe on you) in (the
Covenant that bears) my name, will teach you all things (Ezekiel 36:27) and will remind you of
everything I have said to you.
To “pour out” is just another way of saying “I
will blow” in context of the word, Ruach!
Joel 2:28
And afterward, I will pour
out My Spirit on all people
Ezekiel 36:27
And I will put My Spirit in
you and move you to follow My Decrees and be careful to keep My Laws.
Isaiah 44:3
3 I will pour out My Spirit
on your offspring, and My Blessing on your descendants.
Zechariah 12:10
10 And I will pour out on the House
of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a Spirit of Grace and Supplication.
It was at that moment, when Yahusha was
Mikveh’d, that Yahuah Declared for the first time "this is My Son, in whom
I Am well pleased". This is when Yahusha was BORN AGAIN and literally Adopted
into the Family of Yahuah as the Firstborn Son! He showed us The Way of Mikveh,
Circumcision, and Offering. You MUST be Mikveh’d with Living Water before being
filled with Yahuah’s Spirit, His Set Apart Spirit cannot inhabit a body that
has not been cleansed from sin! That is why Yahusha told John he MUST be Mikveh’d
with Living Water to “Fulfill all Righteousness” in him i.e. “Fulfill The Law”!
Matthew 3:15
Yahusha replied, "Let it
be (Mikveh with Living Water) so now; it is
proper for us to do this to Fulfill all Righteousness (Mikveh
is the ritual defined by Yahuah to cleanse a body from sin, and bring a man
into full compliance with The Law or Fulfill it)." Then John
consented.
Yahusha "came in the flesh" just
like every other child of Yahuah... the word "flesh" is
"sarki", meaning Yahusha was NOT born with the Set Apart Ruach... he
had to be Born Again, and that is The Way! He set the example... The word
"flesh" means "apart from ANY Divine Influence" 100% human
in every way, prone to sin and opposed to God! I have been pointing this out
all throughout this book. The very definition of “coming in the flesh” or being
“revealed in the flesh” or being “born according to the flesh” is a total
denial of Incarnation. I am going to keep defining this term in this book as
many times as it takes for us to finally “get it”!
g4561 ‘sarki’ -
Thayer: "Flesh"
2a) the body of a
man
2b) used of natural
or physical origin, generation or relationship
2b1) born of natural
generation (conception and birth)
4) the flesh, denotes
mere human nature, the Earthly nature of man apart from Divine Influence, and
therefore prone to sin and opposed to God.
It was at his Mikveh that Yahuah Filled
Yahusha with the Set-Apart Ruach, and it was at that moment that he
"embodied the Full Measure of Deity"!
Colossians 2:9
For in Yahusha all the Fullness
of Deity dwells in bodily form (Yahusha was Full of
the Spirit of Yahuah upon his Mikveh, Mark 1:10).
Yahusha was not born with a living Spirit, he
was human and all men who descend form Adam inherit a dead Spirit as a result
of sin, Romans 5:12.
Romans 5
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through
sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned (no exceptions).
Yahusha is not
the exception, he is THE WAY.
It is also upon our being Mikveh'd by Fire
that we too, embody the Full Measure of Deity in our bodies like Yahusha:
Ephesians 3:19
19 and to know this Love that
surpasses Knowledge—that you may be Filled (in bodily
form) to the measure of all the Fullness of God (which is the Spirit of Yahuah poured into each of us after
Mikveh).
...... think about that for a minute
We are born with a physical body and
"soul", and a dead Spirit. We are not Eternal beings. We are like
"brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed"...
2 Peter 2:12
But these (not born again), as natural brute beasts, made to be
taken and destroyed
Jude 1:10
But these (not born again) speak evil of those things which they
know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they
corrupt themselves.
It is upon Mikveh with Living Water, that our
body is prepared and we are then Mikveh’d by Fire when Yahuah literally,
"Breathes Life back into our dead Spirits" and we begin to Live
again... Eternally. Yahusha made it crystal clear, you MUST be Born Again to
enter the Kingdom. He was speaking of experience, as he too, must have been
Born Again and he was as we read in Scripture. Yahusha is ‘The Way’, the
EXAMPLE, we all follow, he is not the exception!
John 3:7
…6 Flesh is born of flesh, but
Spirit is born of the Spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born
again.’
This is why if you are not born twice, you die
twice... there is nothing Eternal about a human with a dead Spirit as that is
the living Elohim within us that makes us Eternal Children of Yahuah. That is
why it is called “an earnest deposit”. All born again Children of Yahuah have
the same Set Apart Ruach inside them binding us as Family.
There is no "Godhead", no
Trinity, no bi-entity, The Ruach is not a person or individual anything. It is
the “Life-Giving Breath of Yahuah”.
There is The Father... and all His Children
with the Ruach (no such thing as a Godhead) Spiritually binding them as “Family”.
Yahuah Breathes Life into all humans at birth as His Spirit "comes over
the mother", just like Miriam, and gives the woman a child. This is the
Ruach too, but it is not the SET APART RUACH.
Every human being is endowed with the
Life-Giving Breath of our Creator at birth, and each time we take a breath, we
speak the name of the Creator...
Inhale:
Yahhh Exhale: Huahhhh
Yahuah's Name is all consonants and cannot be
pronounced out loud! It is a "whisper" ... literally pronounced with
each breath we take. When you stop giving Glory to your Creator, is the day you
stop saying His Holy Name... and you take your last breath and He withdraws the
breath of life from your body.
To live Eternally you must have the Ruach
Hakadesh... If you do not have the SET APART Ruach, the Blood of His Family...
you cease to exist... Forever, that is the Second Death.
