Restoration of the Ruach

The Finding Emet radio program aims to help people understand and live the truth of the Bible from a Hebrew perspective. The program features the teaching ministry of Brother Daniel Rendleman and offers resources such as audio lessons, teaching articles, and a free online Bible search program on their website. The speaker discusses the concept of restoration in both the physical and spiritual realms, emphasizing the importance of returning to the original faith passed down by the apostles. The restoration is fueled by end times prophecies and the uniting of the two houses of Israel. The speaker highlights the power of restoration and how it is being seen in believers seeking Yahweh and returning to the ancient paths. The restoration is being done by the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, and is bringing the true faith and holy days of Yahweh back to life. Hello and welcome to the Finding Emet radio program.

A few years ago an angry man rushed through this museum in Amsterdam. He reached Rembrandt's famous painting called Night Watch. He took out a knife and he slashed it repeatedly until the security guards ran over and stopped him. A short time later this distraught person slipped through St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome, had a hammer, and began to smash Michelangelo's one of his sculptures. Within just a few weeks two cherished works of art were pretty much destroyed. You know, hurt, damaged, whatever. Do you think the officials threw them away? Of course not. I mean, they wouldn't take these cherished works of art and just forget about them. They used the best experts and used utmost care and precision and tried to restore the treasures. And today that is what the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, is doing in our midst to the faith. The true faith is being restored. Amen? The faith that was handed down to the apostles is being restored like never before. We are in a great time and season. Now sometimes it doesn't feel like that because you're all alone or we looked at our room and it's not full of hundreds of people and we don't have a mega church of 25,000. However, we're seeing that these are times of restoration. It tells us in Isaiah 58, 11 and 12, it says, Yahweh will guide you always. He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations. You will be called the repairer of broken walls, the restorer of streets with dwellings. And this verse in Isaiah, Yeshayahu 58, verse 12 specifically says that your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations. And in the physical realm, that is what has taken place in 1948 with Israel becoming a nation again. It had been in 1967 with Jerusalem, the capital, being reclaimed by the Jewish people. But in the spiritual realm, a restoration has also begun taking place to where we are raising up the age-old foundations. The ancient paths, the scriptures say in Deuteronomy, it says, ask about the ancient paths. We have been inquiring about, the Spirit has been moving people towards the way it is supposed to be the way it was. Not necessarily that we have to reinvent the wheel or have a whole new religion with new ideas and new words, but that we're going back to the way it was when Mashiach came, when Messiah came, because that's what it's all about. Amen? It's all about returning to the faith that he passed on. He told him to go forward, you know, preaching the gospel. And there's been 2,000 years of man mixed into the gospel. There have been 2,000 years of man mixed into the faith. And you give me 20 minutes with somebody and I'll mix them up a little bit. Consider 2,000 years. What has happened? And a lot of traditions and teachings and doctrines and theologies and cemeteries, I mean that are out there, that are just continuing on, continuing on the same old, same old, what's been handed down from, you know, from whatever. However, it tells us in Acts chapter 3, it says, repent, turn to Yahweh, that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from Yahweh, that he may send Mashiach, who has been appointed for you, even Yeshua. For Yeshua must remain in Shemayim, in heaven, until the time comes for the restoration of all things as he promised long ago through the Holy Prophets, Acts 3, 19 through 21. Yeshua is kept in heaven until the restoration of all things. That means, at the time that this was given the words to the the Apostles there, that things were going to get mixed up and messed up a little bit. And things had to be restored back to their original condition. I remember as a child growing up in my family, my parents liked to sell furniture. And they would take pieces of furniture and they would restore them. They would take, they would go to the side of the road and actually find like a desk or a china cabinet or whatever. And they would take it off the side of the road. Someone had thrown it away. And they would refinish it. They would scrape off the old paint. They would put some polyurethane on it. You know, they would they would make it shine and gloss. And they would spend so much time working on this piece of trash. And it would always bewilder me as a child. I would always wonder, why, number one, are we stopping by trash piles every time I turn around? And number two, why are we bringing the trash into our house and spending all this time on it? Until I got old enough, my parents told me, well, we sell this. It cost us nothing. We spend time on it. We refinish it. We restore it. And then we sell it for hundreds of dollars. I was like, wow, my parents are Sanford and Son. I couldn't believe it. I just, I thought that was great. I had no idea. I was living with Sanford and Son. So anyway, that just impressed upon me as a young child, the power of restoration. But you could take something that had been thrown aside, cast aside, and restore it. And it could sell for more now than it did when it was original. I mean, I remember this this one piece and it was like a just an odd piece of furniture and sold for hundreds of dollars. And it was from the 1920s when it probably cost, you know, just $15, $20, $30 when money, you know, really was something back then, you know. A power of restoration. Like never before, people are seeking Yahweh and returning to the ancient paths. And there are pockets of believers popping up everywhere. Our ministry regularly receives letters and emails from groups and individuals wanting to know more about Yahweh, wanting to know about His name, to understand the Torah, the Word, the two houses, the precepts of Torah. And the articles on our website and the CD teachings that we do, they are actually reaching people all over the world. Who'd have thunk it, right? I mean, who would have thought that would have taken place? But that is what's occurring. And all praise belongs to Yahweh, not to us. This restoration is fueled by end times prophecies. And they are all throughout the Scriptures. I encourage you to go and read the book of Hosea. That can be your homework for this week. Read Hosea, and you will see unbelievable prophecies about Ephraim and Judah, or the ten tribes and the two tribes of Judah, or you could say even the Jews and the Christians coming together in the end of days, and what Yahweh is doing. And all throughout the Scriptures, we see that Yahweh is uniting the two sticks, right? We see that the two houses are coming together. And in Ezekiel 37, we read about the dry bones. The dry bones. So let's turn to Ezekiel 37 and read a little bit about the dry bones. And we see here in Ezekiel 37, it says, The valley was long and broad, the bones were very dry. The Eternal One who brought me out here said to me, Can they live? Can these bones live? I answered, Only you know, Master. Only you know. He said, Speak to these dry bones. Dry bones to listen and give heed. I'll put the Spirit in you, and you will live and breathe. I'll knit you up, the snooze and the clothe you all in skin. When you are flesh, I'll give you the breath, and you will live again. And when I do, you'll know for sure. And as I spoke, as He commanded me, and soon I heard a sound, down to the ground, all around the bones were coming together. I'm reading a paraphrase, okay? And rattled, and they crackled, and soon they were attached with flesh and skin. But still their bodies lay so still. There was no breath. No breath in them. Call to the breath and say, Hear the Eternal One. Come from the four winds, from where you have gone. Breathe upon these dead ones, so that they may rise. I did as He had said, and I watched as all the dead sprang to life, into a great army, right before my eyes. Oh, house of Israel! They say, Our bones are dry. Our hope is lost. We ourselves are cut off. But He says, From the grave I will lift you up, and put my Spirit in you, and you shall live. Ezekiel 37.5. That's a paraphrase of it. You can read it in your Scriptures. Very similar. From the section of Scriptures, we see clearly that the breath of Yahweh is part of the dry bones coming alive. Do you see that? And it says in, excuse me, verse 14, it says, I will lift you up, and put my Spirit in you, and you shall live. But the house of Israel, taken as forgotten, taken as a bunch of dry bones, taken as a bunch of good-for-nothings, is being restored by the Ruach, the Spirit of Yahweh. That the true faith that had been cast aside, had been forgotten. The true holy days of Yahweh, that have been forgotten and cast aside for holidays of man, and we can go on, is being revived and restored and brought to life again by the Ruach of Yahweh. Isaiah 49.6 says, It is too small a thing that you should be my servant, to raise up the tribes of Yaakov, Jacob, to restore the preserved ones of Israel. I will also make you a light to the nations, so that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth. That today, Yahweh's Spirit is moving in us physical Israelites, who've been scattered all abroad, because it tells us in Galatians, it says, if you belong to Messiah, you are seed of Abraham, and heirs according to the promise, that we are Israel. And it says, we are not only just to be restored, it says, but to be a light to the nations, so that Yeshua, my salvation will reach the ends of the earth. That is what Yahweh is doing right now, and that is exciting. We are a part of that. We are cutting-edge. We might not have, you know, the 25,000 member mega church, and the huge PowerPoint projector, and all this fancy stuff, but we have the Emet, the truth of the Scriptures, and we have the Ruach. Yeshua said in Yochanan 4, He said, those who worship me must worship me in spirit and in truth. Through the breath of Yahweh, it says, that is what came upon them in Ezekiel 37. It was the breath. Do you see that? The dry bones came to life. Now, the breath of Yahweh is known to us as the Holy Spirit, or Ruach HaKodesh. That's our topic today, the restoration of the Ruach. That's the name of the teaching, if you want to give it a name, the restoration of the Ruach. And in our search for truth, we've learned a lot. We've learned the name of the Father, right? We've learned His name, Yahweh. We've learned it's not Lord or God, that His name is Yahweh. He gave His name as a sign and symbol for all generations. We've learned the name of the Son, Yeshua. That Yeshua is not Jesus, like the Mexicans say. It's not Jesus. His true name is Yeshua. That's what He was called when He was here. And what about the Ruach? Do you ever wonder about what the Ruach's name is? We know that Yahweh, the Father's name is Yahweh. We know the Son's name is Yeshua. What about the Holy Spirit? Who or what is the Holy Spirit? Is it just the third ring? Is it just the third, you know, wheel? Is it just the third person of the Trinity? Is that just what the Holy Spirit is? Or is it something greater and more and bigger and better? Now we see the Holy Spirit, the Ruach HaKodesh in Hebrew, active part in creation, right? In Genesis it says that He was hovering over the face of the earth. And we see throughout the Tanakh or the Old Testament that the Spirit would rest upon people, like Moshe, who would have the Spirit and He would be able to prophesy. He would be able to give the Word. We know about Aaron, the high priest and the prophets and the kings that would have the Spirit come upon them. In Moshe Shelechim in Acts chapter 10 verse 38, Acts chapter 10 verse 38, it tells us that Yahweh anointed Yeshua with the Holy Spirit, with the Ruach HaKodesh and with power. And Yeshua went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of HaSatan, for Yahweh was with Him. So we see that Yeshua was anointed with the Ruach HaKodesh, with power, and He went about doing miracles and great deeds. And we also know that Yeshua promised to send the Ruach after His resurrection. And at first we read in the Scriptures about the early believers, the first believers, empowered by the Spirit. It tells us in Acts chapter 4, and you can read throughout Acts chapter 4, you can in verse 8, it says that Kepha was filled, or Peter was filled with the Ruach HaKodesh and began speaking to the rulers and the people and the rulers of Israel. He stood up and preached a sermon like you wouldn't believe in Acts chapter 4. This is the same Peter who denied Yeshua three times. Note that was before the Spirit was given. So he had boldness, he had power to witness and to minister and to give his testimony about Yeshua in Acts chapter 4. And it also says in Acts chapter 4 that visible signs and wonders provided validity to the disciples' message. Rabbi Shaul, or Paul, wrote about the gifts of the Spirit. He wrote about the fruit of the Spirit. He talked, he said, I wish that you would speak in tongues as much as I do. Now in the Bible, the the term Holy Spirit, if you do a search in like the Tanakh, and you will see that the term Holy Spirit only is found three times in the Old Testament. Three times. And two of those were in reference to David when he said, you know, take not thine Holy Spirit from me. That it wasn't referred to as much in the Tanakh and in the Old Testament as a Holy Spirit or as the Holy Ghost, brother, right? King James brethren like to say, Holy Ghost thou shalt have or so. But it's more spoken of as the breath or as the power of Yahweh. And in Hebrew, the phrase is Ruach Ha Kodesh. Ruach Ha Kodesh. And the word for Ruach in Hebrew literally means breath or spirit. It literally means like your breath of life, like what your essence of being. Well in the scriptures, more oftentimes than not, the spirit or the Ruach Ha Kodesh is called a helper and a comforter, more than it's called just the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost. Now we see it a lot referenced as Ruach Ha Kodesh or Holy Ghost in the newer Testament. In the Hebrew, we see that Ruach Ha Kodesh is the Hebrew and the Aramaic phrase for Holy Spirit or the set-apart spirit. Kodesh or Kadosh. Familiar with Kadosh? We sing a song Kadosh. Kadosh means set apart. It doesn't mean holy in the sense of oh I'm quiet or oh I'm you know I'm so good or whatever. It means to be set apart. So literally Ruach Ha Kodesh means the set-apart breath, the set-apart spirit of Yahweh. Here's what's interesting. In the Hebrew, the spirit is a she. The spirit is a she. Hebrew, like many other languages, contains both feminine and masculine tenses. Tenses indicate gender. Like in Spanish, you got el muchacho, which would be what? The boy. And you've got la muchacha, which is the girl. Well Hebrew has very similar with the endings and the tenses of the words indicate gender. Hebrew, the word Ruach, and in Aramaic, the word Ruach is feminine. Feminine. Now think about this for a minute. By giving the name or the spirit Ruach a feminine gender, it assigns the spirit feminine nature, character, attributes. This point is entirely lost in the Greek because Greek has no feminine text. It's only like neutral or so, which is why in our Bibles we read he as the spirit. When the spirit of truth comes upon you, he will lead and guide you into all truth or so. We only read that it's a masculine phrase. Now I want to show this to you in the Scriptures because it makes perfect sense that the Ruach HaKodesh is the, you could say, the feminine aspect or gender in the way that the spirit ministers. The comforter, the helper. I'll show you this in Scriptures. And it makes perfect sense because think about it. We have the Son, Yeshua. We have the Father, Yahweh. Where's Mama? Where's Mama in all of this? So the Scriptures teach us in Romans chapter 1 verse 20 that the things of Yahweh can be understood through that which has been created. You can look at creation and understand the things of Yahweh. Yahweh is not a single parent father. Yahweh does not believe in single parent fathers. That is not his plan for man. In Genesis, Bereshit chapter 1 verse 26 and 27, you can turn there if you'd like, it says, Then Elohim said, Let us, who? Let us make mankind or humans in our own image according to our likeness. And Elohim created man in his own image. In the image of Elohim he created him. Male and female he created them both. Now the word for human, in many translations it says man. He said let us make man in our own image. It comes from the Hebrew word Adama which means mankind. So Yahweh says let us make mankind in our own image and then it says he created them both male and female. Yahweh is saying let us, Yahweh, Yeshua, Ruach HaKodesh, make man, male and female, in our own image. Food for thought. Food for thought. There's many other scriptures that back this up. Turn with me to Proverbs chapter 8. Mishelei 8. Mishelei 8. Mishelei 8. And I would suggest reading the whole chapter when you have time through 9.5 and through 8.1 through 9.5 it speaks of the Ruach HaKodesh and it speaks of her in a feminine phrase. The whole passage describes a being named Wisdom or Chokmah who is female in gender, motherly in nature, who was there at the beginning of creation, even before creation, before there was an earth is what it says. It describes her as being daily Yahweh's delight, rejoicing always before Yahweh, inhabiting the world, and it refers to Yahweh's children as listening to her. It says in Mishelei 8.35, whoever finds me finds life and shall obtain favor from Yahweh. But look at verse 1. Does not Chokmah, Wisdom, call, and Binah, Understanding, lift her voice? She stands at the top of the heights between the path she has taken and her stand. She utters at the gate, at the entry of the city gate, to you, O men, I call. My voice is to the sons of men. O you simple understand Chokmah, you fools, be of understanding heart. It even tells us that she is a tree of life. So what is her name? We got Yahweh, we got Yeshua, Chokmah. Now, the Jews reference the Ruach HaKodesh or the Holy Spirit in feminine phrases regularly. They regularly refer to the Ruach HaKodesh as the Shekinah. I've heard it so many different ways. We'll say the Shekinah. That is another Hebrew feminine word that the Jews regularly use in reference to the glorious presence of Yahweh. That's what Shekinah is. It is the manifest presence of Yahweh. In the Bible, Chokmah. Look at verse 6. Shema, for I will speak of excellent things and the opening of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak truth and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. In verse 12 it says, I, Chokmah, dwell with insight and find out knowledge and foresight. It goes on to describe her as a she. As a she. Now, I am not endorsing like mother worship or like, you know, mother of heaven or queen of heaven worship or anything crazy like that. That's not where we're going. But we're showing that the feminine aspect here is there and that in the Hebrew it is referenced as a she. First John 5.6, it says that the Spirit is truth. First John 5.6. And in John 16.13, turn over there to the B'rit Ha-Dashah, the newer Testament. John 16.13. It says, reading it correctly, when she, the Ruach of truth, has come, she will lead you into all truth. Even today in Judaism, it is the mother that teaches the child, the children, Torah. Because the father's busy in the synagogue learning it himself. It is often the mother that teaches the child the commandments and instructions of her husband. Right? So here, we got Yeshua saying that the Spirit of truth or Mama's Torah would internalize the commandments of the father. In John 14.26, it says, but the helper, the Ruach Ha-Kodesh, whom the father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will declare to you all that I have said. We see all three involved. The father is going to send the Spirit, the mother, and she will teach you. Now, the word here, this is really neat, it says in John 14.26, but the helper, the Ruach Ha-Kodesh, whom the father will send in my name, will teach you all things. The word there for helper is Ezer. Ezer. Which is similar to the word, or exactly the same word, given as Adam's Ezer, or Adam's helper. Remember that his wife was created to do what? To be a helper for him. Not to be an aggravation, but to be a helper for him. Praise Yahweh, our beautiful, wonderful wives that are our helpers. That's symbolic of this. A helper who brings balance. The Ruach is the balance to the father. Just like many times, like with my wife and I. She is the tortoise and I'm the hare. I like to run ahead, and rush ahead, and be ahead, and sometimes I go too fast and too far. And she likes to be the hare, and move a little slower. The tortoise, excuse me, she's the tortoise. And she goes a little slower, and she says, slow down a little bit. Slow down a little bit. Bringing balance. So you've got the father with the strict word and judgment, and you've got the Ruach with comfort and help balancing. Genesis 1, it says again, come let us make mankind in our image. Here's something really neat. Genesis 11, 7 says, come let us go down and confuse their language, that they may not understand each other's speech. That the Ruach was part of the giving of tongues in Genesis with the Tower of Babel. Hold on to that for later, because we see the Spirit continues to give tongues. Amen? Ephesians 4, 30. Let me kind of clarify this. Ephesians 4, 30 says, do not grieve the Holy Spirit. That's an easy phrase. We all know that one. We've heard that one from our Pentecostal backgrounds. And we've been told, and I've said, well the Holy Spirit is a gentleman. He's not going to force his way. He's not going to push himself on somebody. Great idea, but wrong gender. Okay? He's not a delicate gentleman worried about offending somebody. Instead, consider this, that the Ruach HaKodesh is kind of like a pregnant woman. Okay? She's a pregnant woman, and she's serious about giving birth. This is good. It tells us, go to Luke chapter 1. Turn to Luke chapter 1. We're all over the Scriptures today. So instead of the Holy Spirit being a gentleman, the Holy Spirit, she is a pregnant woman who's like getting ready to birth something in us. Getting ready to bring forth life. It says in Luke chapter 1, verses 31, 34, and 35. Behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bring forth a son who shall call his name Yahshua. Verse 34. Then Miriam, or Mary, said to the messenger, how can I do this? I've not known a man. Verse 35. The angel messenger answered her and said, the Ruach HaKodesh, Holy Spirit, will come upon you. The power of the highest shall overshadow you, and therefore the Holy One who will be conceived in you shall be called the son of Yahweh. The Ruach HaKodesh is serious about giving birth. And here, giving birth upon Miriam, it says that the Ruach was resting upon Miriam, overshadowing, and Yahweh the Most High was overshadowing her. So consider it this way. I believe that Miriam was like a, almost like a surrogate mother. Like a surrogate mother that had the, that the Ruach was there, resting upon her, and that the Yahweh, it says, overshadowed her. And Miriam, a pure, undefiled, virgin womb, was being used there to hold the seed from Yahweh. And, I believe, to hold the same egg from Yahweh. Now, chew on that one, think about that one. Because how could Yeshua be sinless if the egg came from Miriam? We believe in original sin, right? It says, by one man sin had entered into the world, and by one man, the second Adam, it was taken care of. If we believe that, how could Yeshua be sinless? Food for thought. Think about that. Chew on that. Remember in John chapter 3, Yeshua was talking, and he said that you must be born of what? Spirit and water. You got to be born of spirit and water. The water is symbolic of the mother's womb, and the spirit of the Word, or what Yeshua has done in us. Water is required to life on earth. You got to have water. And it's present at childbirth, it's present all over. So, think about it this way. Galatians 329, it says, if you belong to Messiah, you are a seed of Abraham, and heirs according to the what? The promise. What is the Ruach called? The promise. I will send to you the promise, right? And it says here, if you belong to Messiah, you are seed of Abraham. If you are born again, that word for seed there is sperma. It means physical descendant. Not a Gentile, not a pagan. That's what Gentile means. It means pagan, one who is far off from Yahweh. Look it up in your Bible dictionary. Gentile means one who is away from Yahweh. But it says that we are heirs according to the promise, the promise Ruach HaKodesh. It tells us that in 1st John 3.9, whoever has been begotten of Yahweh does not sin, for his seed remains in him, and he cannot sin because he has been begotten of Yahweh. When you are born again, when you accept Yeshua, when you repent and call on his name, guess what happens? The spirit comes upon you, and it is there, and then there is a seed which is the word. Mark chapter 4 talks about it. Yeshua talked about it a lot. He said the kingdom of Yahweh is like a seed planted in the ground. I love Mark chapter 4. It talks about the seed, the seed. So you've got the seed, which is the word of Yahweh. You've got the spirit of Yahweh coming upon you at that time, and then there's got to be a fertilization, right, with the water of the word, which causes that conception. The natural things show us about Yahweh. So we've got to have that continual washing of the word. So at salvation, the word tells us that we are sealed with the Ruach HaKodesh. Holy Spirit comes upon us. It tells us in, it says in Ephesians 1.13, in him is the gospel of your deliverance, in whom after being believed, you were sealed with the Ruach HaKodesh of promise. So when we are born again, our spirit, in essence, dies. It is resurrected to new life, and the Ruach HaKodesh comes to live within us until the day of redemption is what the word says. So at that, at salvation, you accept Yeshua. You confess of your mouth. You believe in your heart. He is Mashiach. And then what happens? The next step is water baptism. Water baptism. And you were baptized, or mikveh, Hebrew word for baptize is mikveh, into water for repentance, symbolic of giving up sin, symbolic of your new relationship, like a wedding ring, symbolic of, you know, you're spoken for. That's what baptism is. You've been adopted into Yahweh's family. Let's keep going on that perspective there, because of the father and the son and the mother. And let's clear up something now. You were not saved. You were not born again just to get out of hell. There's a group of Christianity out there that just teaches that. You know, accept salvation so you can get your get out of hell free card, just like in Monopoly, right? That's what they got. And there's a group of Christianity that teaches that. That is not the purpose of salvation. And even if these mainstream denominations, all they want to teach is, get saved, get saved, get saved every week. It's the same sermon about salvation. That's important. Salvation is very important. But you're not just saved to escape fires of hell, nor were you just saved to go to heaven and to, you know, get wings like an angel and fly around. We are born again by the Ruach HaKodesh for intimacy, to enter into relationship into the family of Yahweh. That's why He saved us. Isn't that good? Because we are born into this life as part of the Adam's family, right? We're part of that. We're part of the Adam's family. Because of the sin, because of the sin of Adam, we come as part of the devil's family, you could even say. And by accepting Yeshua, we are transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. And by that taking place, we can now have intimacy and relationship with Yahweh. If all you preach is salvation, then that's as far as it goes. But if you preach and teach intimacy and relationship with Yahweh, it starts at salvation, but it doesn't stop there. If Yahweh's only purpose was to save you from hell, as soon as you accepted Yeshua, you'd be raptured up and gone to heaven. That's not the case. I'm still waiting on the rapture bus. It's not the case, right? Okay. Baptism into water is the first step. Everybody say first step. Because we're talking about the restoration of the Ruach. That's what we're talking about today. Luke 3.16. John the Baptist. John the Southern Baptist. Right? Okay. How about Hebrew? Yochanan HaMetbil. Yochanan the Immerser. Luke chapter 3 verse 16. It says, I indeed baptize you with water, but one mightier than I is coming whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Ruach HaKodesh and with fire. Here, Yochanan is speaking of a water baptism and a spirit baptism. Amen? Two separate events. The first is in water. The second is in spirit and in fire. And the second baptism, just like the first, is prevalent all throughout the book of Acts and in the New Testament. Read throughout the book of Acts. You will see mikvah in water taking place. As soon as someone accepts Yahshua, they are mikvahed into the water. They don't wait very long. And notice also, they are baptized in the name of Yahshua. Notice that. It never says in the book of Acts they are baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And do your Catholic right. It never says that. Food for thought. Chew on that one a little bit. Okay? It always says they were baptized in the name of Yahshua. That's the way they did it. That's what it says. Then, we'll read about it. So turn to Acts. Let's look at Acts. The book of Acts. Maasei Shelechim. I told you this was going to be some meat today. I'm just messing with your head, right? Maasei Shelechim, Acts, chapter 2. Acts, chapter 2. This is part of Kepha's speech. Remember, this is the very same Peter that denied Yahshua three times. That fell into the water, right? This is the same Peter who had no boldness. He even cursed Yahshua. He said, I don't know that man. He ran away when Yahshua needed him the most. And yet here, in Acts, chapter 2, and Acts, chapter 3, Kepha is preaching, the best I wrote, the gospel with boldness. He is witnessing with power. And look at Acts 2, 38 and 39. Then Kepha said to them, Teshuvah, or repent and return, and be immersed, every one of you, in the name of the Master Yahshua, for the Mashiach, for the forgiveness of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh. For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, even as many as Yahweh or Elohim shall call. Now, let's clear up a couple things about this verse. I just got to go there. First of all, repent and do Teshuvah. That's the first step in salvation. This is like Salvation 101 for a minute, okay? Then you are immersed in the name of Yahshua in the water for forgiveness of sins. And then, after repenting, after receiving Yahshua, you are eligible for the mitzvah Ruach HaKodesh, the mitzvah of the Set-apart Spirit. Then it says, this is a promise. Remember that promise word again? Promise to you and to your children that are all far off. Some people take this verse out of context. And then there's a verse later where Paul is in prison. And before he goes to leave prison, you know, he had Jailhouse Rock, and he was able to leave, right? Before he was able to leave prison there, he said, you know, you shall be saved, you and your household. And some people take that, and they think that just by believing, or just by praying, they're going to be saved, them and their household. And let me clear up something here. Salvation is a personal acceptance of Yahshua. What Jephothah was saying here, and what he was saying later, Paul was saying later was, it says here, this promise is for you and to your children. So just as you were saved, you can be saved, and your household can be saved. Not just because mama got saved, mama's children are going to get saved, and they're going to live like devil the rest of their life. That's not the case. So we got to understand it's a personal salvation. Pray for your children, minister to them, witness to them, but they've got to accept Yahshua. Amen? Amen. That just makes sense. Now it tells us, turn over a couple pages, Acts chapter 8. We're going to look at another separate experience. The baptism in the Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, as a separate experience. There was great persecution here. There were some things going on. Look at verse 12, talking about Philip. When they believed Philip proclaiming the things concerning the kingdom of Yahweh, the name of Yahshua, they were immersed, both men and women. And Simon, or Shimon, who is he? He's a, you know, he's like a Harry Potter guy, right? He himself believed also. And when he was immersed, he continued with Philip, and he was impressed. Hey! Beholding the Nassim, the miracles and the signs that were done. Verse 14. Now, when the sukkim, or the leaders of the apostles who were at Yerushalayim, heard that Shomron had received the word of Yahweh, they sent to them Kepha and Yochanan, who then they had come down. They made prayers for them. Verse 15. That they might receive the Holy Spirit, the Ruach HaKodesh. For until then he had not fallen upon them, for they were only immersed in the name of the Savior, Yahshua. So, we notice here, let's just pause there, that these were believers in Yahshua. They had accepted Him. They had accepted water baptism in the name of Yahshua. This had taken place, but they had not accepted the immersion, or the baptism of the Ruach HaKodesh. He had not fallen upon them. Now, we said earlier, wait a minute, Daniel. We said earlier that the Spirit comes upon you, or in you, when you are born again. Yes, but here it speaks of a separate experience where it falls upon you. Falls upon you, and it says here, verse 17. Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Ruach HaKodesh. Verse 18. And when Shimon saw that through laying on of hands that the Ruach HaKodesh was given, he offered them money, saying, give me this power, that on whoever I lay hands on, they may receive the Spirit. And it goes on to say, repent of your wickedness. You can't buy it. You receive it by faith. You receive it by faith. These people, they were born again, and yet they received a separate experience here of the Ruach HaKodesh. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, or mikvah in the Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, is a second and usually separate experience of letting go. Letting go of control. At salvation, you accept Yeshua's gift as blood for eternal life, for abundant life. At baptism of the Ruach, you accept Yeshua's power to witness and to flow in the gifts of the Spirit. I know of some people that it happened like all at once, but for most people, for myself, I was saved as a little kid. I was resaved 10, 15 times as a Baptist, you know, and then through experience, you know, I kept getting saved. And, you know, because they told me eternal security, I just didn't believe them. So, I kept getting resaved, and then I remember, I kept hearing about this baptism in the Spirit for power and boldness. Now, I wasn't very timid back then, but I'm like, wow, more boldness, more power. But I saw a difference in people's lives that had this baptism. I saw them worshiping, and I heard them maybe praying in a different language or whatever. I didn't know what they were doing, and I wanted it. I wanted it, and I wanted to receive it. And I remember the time and the day that I was mitvud in the Spirit. Now, the heavens didn't part, and the Billy Graham music didn't start playing. You know, I didn't hear James Earl Jones, you know, voice from heaven, behold, this is my beloved Son, whom I am well pleased. It wasn't like that, but it was an interesting experience, and it changed my life, because at that point is when Yahweh began calling, you know, calling me into the ministry, because I had a boldness and a power to witness that. What I didn't know is that there's a lot of people in the groups out there that don't accept, don't believe in the baptism in the Spirit, and there's a tendency in Judaism to teach against it. They call it charismaniacs. That's what they call us, because we believe in it, yet it's prophesied all throughout the Tanakh. I want to show you that. Can we do that? So, let's take a look at the Tanakh. Don't make a doctrine off of one verse, please. Read and study the Scriptures, and build your thoughts and your theologies off of that, and it tells us in Isaiah 28. I'll give you a second to turn, if you'd like. Isaiah 28 11. Yeshayahu 28. It talks to us about some of the things here. It says, for it is with stammering lips and another tongue. He will speak to this people, to whom he said, this is the rest with which you may cause the weary to rest. This is a refreshing, yet they would not hear. With stammering lips, talking about a refreshing. Many times, like in the book of Yoel and Joel, the Spirit is called a refreshing. Latter-day rain. In 1 Corinthians 14 21. 1 Corinthians 14 21, Paul, Shaul, repeats this. He quotes it. He says, in the Torah, it is written, with men of other tongues and other lips, I will speak to this people, and yet for all that, they will not hear me. So, he's quoting that. He's saying that what's going on with the teaching of the Torah, with the fulfillment and the filling of the Ruach HaKodesh, is the fulfillment of this verse. Speaking of Joel, Joel chapter 2, Joel chapter 2 verse 28. Yoel. It shall come to pass afterwards, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. Your old men shall dream dreams. Your young men shall see visions. Also, on my men servants and on my maid servants, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. Yoel, the book of Joel, is all about the end days. The end of time. The time that we are in. Remember, we said we're in the restoration? But Yahweh is restoring his Ruach. So, in Acts chapter 2, I love it. He says, this is that. This is that which was spoken of by the prophet Yoel. And he says, it shall come to pass in those days that Yahweh will pour out his Spirit on all flesh. The sons and daughters shall prophesy. Young men will see visions and old men will dream dreams. It doesn't say old men will retire. It says they'll dream dreams. Usually, dreams are for young people, right? Young people want to dream about the future. It says that old men, older people, are going to start dreaming about the future by the power of the Ruach. That's what his Ruach does. It gives life to us. It gives us power. It says here that the sons and daughters shall prophesy. Mitvah in the Spirit, or in the Ruach, energizes our life. I mean, just think about it. When you were born again, man, you wanted to tell everybody about it. You remember? I mean, you go up and start preaching to a tree. Repent, you know? And then that kind of wears down and wears off and people start looking at you like you're crazy. But it's the Ruach's baptism that gives us boldness to witness and power. Think of it this way. At salvation, you know, the Holy Spirit comes to reside within us. But when we accept the Ruach HaKodesh and we are mitvahed in it, we are immersed. That's what the word mitvah means. Let's just clear this up. Mitvah in Hebrew, or baptism in Hebrew, is mitvah. There is a two-part teaching on the website, emetministries.com, about mitvah, about baptism. The first one is called Experiencing Who You Are, and the second one is called Experiencing Who You Are Part Two. So, it's a two-part teaching on that. But it talks about baptism. You couldn't tell by the title, but it's all about mitvah. And mitvah in the Hebraic mindset, because remember, we got to have our minds renewed, Romans chapter 12, 1 and 2, we got to have our minds renewed to a Hebraic mindset. Baptism is not a one-time event. It's not, oh, I got saved, got to go down. It is a continual process of cleansing. Yes, there is that one time of, I'm making a public statement of baptism of repentance, but it is an experience modeled after the temple washings, and even the priest would have to be mitvahed over and over and over again. When John the Baptist was there baptizing, he wasn't doing something new. He was doing something that they already knew about. It is commonplace even today to go to Israel and to see Jews baptizing themselves, yes I said, baptizing themselves for repentance. It's a symbolic of turning and direction. Not just at salvation, in preparation to worship, getting ready for Shabbat, for the holy days, in anticipation of that, an outward symbol of what Yahweh is doing. In the similar fashion, in the same way, Yahweh's Ruach baptism is a one-time experience and a, praise Yahweh, a continual experience. That we accept, as it says here, that we understand, it says, by laying on of hands, one way that it was done. They accepted the Ruach in the spirit, but the mitvah occurs as we worship Him, as we walk in His ways, as we draw near to Him, as we love Him, we are continually immersed in Him. To be immersed, to be mitvahed in the Hebraic concept is not to be sprinkled like some of the Christian denominations do. It is to go totally down in the water. In fact, the Jews even open their eyes, so every bit of them gets baptized. Think about that. Praise Yahweh. I want His spirit like that, that every part of us, every part of me, has been enveloped and engrossed by His Ruach, by His power, by Mama. Does that make sense? One initial sign of mitvah in the spirit is praying in tongues, or praying in the spirit, or speaking in tongues, or whatever. There are a couple different types of speaking in tongues in the newer testament. There is the speaking in tongues of just speaking different languages, as in Acts chapter 2 it says, that there were people there listening to them and heard them preaching the gospel in a different language. There is the speaking in tongues like in a congregation, where there is a word given, and then there is a speaking in tongues, then there is an interpretation of the tongues, the gifts of the spirit, as in 1 Corinthians. And there is also the praying in tongues, or the praying in the spirit. 1 Corinthians 14.2, you might want to turn, there is a lot in there about the tongues or so. It says that he that speaks in tongues does not speak to men, but to Yahweh. When you are praying in the spirit, it is a heavenly prayer language, you are speaking to Yahweh. Yet there are other places in the scriptures where it says that you should speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sometimes you should sing to one another. But here it says pray to Yahweh speaking in tongues. It is for edification to be charged up spiritually. You could call it a spiritual prayer language. 1 Corinthians 14.4, he who prays in tongues edifies himself. He who prophesies edifies the body. So when you prophesy, when you are speaking a word, you are speaking it out loud and open to everybody in English, or if you speak Hebrew, or Spanish, or Spanglish, or whatever it is that you do speak or so, right? Praise Yahweh, brother. Amen? Amen. C.T. or? Anyway, I am not even going there. Oy vey, anyway. Prophesying is in a tongue that everybody knows. But when you are speaking or praying in tongues, it is to edify yourself. It says in Jude, in Jude chapter 1, verse 20, Yehudah 1.20, but you, beloved, build yourself up on your most holy faith by praying in the Ruach HaKodesh. There is a difference between praying with understanding, which is how we say Avinu Melkenu, Father Yahweh, we come before you, we love you, we praise you. That is praying with understanding. But when you pray in the Spirit, look at this. Yehudah 1.20. This is a verse to memorize, a verse to write down. I am not going to say tattoo it to you, but maybe get a good bumper sticker so you remember it. Alright? Yehudah, Jude 1.20. But, beloved, build yourself up in the most holy faith by praying in the Ruach HaKodesh. The way to build yourself up in the faith, it says here, one of the ways is by praying in the Spirit. The world, even the church, even the Jews, even our spouses, our neighbors, our friends, they want to tear us down in the most holy faith many times. They might not even know that they're doing it. But they're pulling us down. The world has its pull on us. Work has its pull on us. And yet we're told here to build yourself up by praying in the Spirit. Shaul said later, he said, I speak in tongues more than any of you. More than any of you. And you know what? Shaul did some mighty things in my Bible. Shaul was not scared of anybody. Shaul would go and he would teach and he would preach and he heard from Yahweh. Talks about he was like up in the third heaven. Well, I wonder if he was praying in tongues when that took place. Because he was building himself up. It is not selfish to build yourself up. Sometimes you've just got to build yourself up. You get down. You get out. You get out. You get down and out. Right? So one way it tells us to overcome that is by praying in the Ruach HaKodesh. It tells us here to build yourself up on the most holy faith. There are some things in the Bible we don't quite understand. A lot of what I've said today may really ruffle your feathers. The Holy Spirit being a she and baptism and this and that. You don't understand it? That's okay. Pray in the Spirit and allow the Spirit to lead you into all understanding. There's something here. Maybe you're struggling with a verse or a chapter or an idea or maybe you're having a hard time. Pray in the Spirit to build yourself up. You get sick. I guarantee you. I guarantee you that a cure to many of our sicknesses is found in living and flowing and praying more in the Ruach HaKodesh than we did before. Doesn't it say that? Build yourself up. So if sickness has got you down, if you've got a migraine, don't just reach for the Tylenol. Pray in the Spirit. He says in 1 Corinthians 14, 14. If I pray in a tongue, my Ruach prays. My Spirit prays. But my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray in the Spirit. I will also pray in the mind. I will sing with the Spirit. Praise Yahweh for the time that we have more singing in the Spirit. In words we may not understand. But it says also I will sing with the mind. Else if you bless in the Spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say amen to your thanksgiving? He doesn't know what you're saying. He says then, I thank Yahweh. I speak in tongues more than all of you. I'm pretty simple minded. But I happen to think that Rabbi Shaul's power for ministry was in part to the fact that he prayed in tongues more than anyone else there in Corinthia. I'm sure it's got to have something to do with each other. In 1 Corinthians 14, 37, he says that this is a commandment, not an option. Anyone who claims to be a prophet or to have spiritual powers must acknowledge that what I'm writing to you is a command of Yahweh. Anyone who does not recognize this is not to be recognized. So my friends, be eager to prophesy. And do not forbid the speaking or the praying in tongues. And do not forbid the speaking or the praying in tongues. But all things should be done decently and in order. Make this clear. That's not Rabbi Daniel's order. That's not Maggie's order. That's not Will's order. That's Yahweh's order. In our local assembly, I'm responsible. So I'm the one that's got to say, hey, what's going on? 1 Corinthians 14 actually speaks about judging what the prophet said. So when there's a gift of prophecy or a word of prophecy, word of wisdom, word of knowledge, we are to judge it. We are to talk about it. We are to say, is this of Yahweh or not? And to talk about that. By knowing the Ruach, by being baptized in the Ruach, we can live and operate in the Ruach HaKodesh. And we'll have power. Galatians 5, 16, if you live by the Spirit, you will not give in to the lust of the flesh. Baptism in the Ruach will help you battle your desires. Remember, it's immersing. That's what mikvah means. You are immersing your soul. You are immersing your mind and your body into the Spirit. And praying in tongues counteracts the sinful desires that our body has. That's powerful. So the more you pray in the Ruach, the more control you can give yourself over to the Ruach. And let's make this clear. A life in the Spirit, let's make this clear. A life in the Ruach is not contrary to a life of Torah observance and obedience to Yahweh's Word. It's not either law or grace. It's not either Torah or Ruach. It is Ruach ve-emet, Spirit and Truth, John chapter 4. It's the two together. It's got to be a balance, though. There's a lot of missing groups out there, but all they do is they just focus on Torah, Torah, Torah. And that, you know, that's great and that's wonderful. It's got to be balanced. There's those out there that, you know, you walk in the door and if you were to start praying in tongues, they would hit you with their Torah scroll and knock you in the next week, believe it or not. There are those out there that if you were to wear your talit or your kippah into their charismatic church where the gifts of the Spirit are flowing, guess what they would do? They would ask you to leave. They, you know, want to know what's going on. Reminds me of a story I heard of this. I got to tell you the story. The story I heard of this Jew that Yom Kippur was coming and he was, they couldn't find the synagogue anywhere. Couldn't find it anywhere. So he went to a Catholic church. He said, I've got to go to Shul. I've got to go to and learn. He said, I've got to go at least to be a part. So he fasted all day long and he put on his kippah. He put on his talit. He got his Torah. He was an Orthodox, even more the tefillin, the phylacteries. He put all of it on and walked into the Catholic church. And the priest was not very happy. And he said, would all people who are not Catholic please leave? And the guy just kept getting ready. You know, he pulled out his prayer book. He brought us the door to the Catholic church and he said, will all people who are not Catholic please leave? And he kind of thought they were talking about him, but he said, surely not. I'm welcome in the house of worship, right? And he said, and the priest had gotten upset. He said, will all non-Catholics leave? And he's kind of, at that time, he got his prayer book together. He said, I don't know about this. The priest then grabbed the microphone and said, will all Jews please leave? The man got up, the man got up, walked to the front of the Catholic church, grabbed the little baby Jesus and ran out. That's pretty good. Anyway, that's pretty good. That's what he did. Where did that come from? Balance, right? Balance. All right. Gotta have balance. It says in Proverbs 20, 23, Yahweh despises unequal weights and measures. If Yahweh despises unequal weights and measures, how much more so does he despise people that are just strung out on the spirit or just strung out on the law? He's got to walk in the midst of the two. It tells us 2 Corinthians 3, 6. The letter kills, but the spirit gives life. Now, there are those out there that say, well, you should not read the letter. You shouldn't get in the letter. You shouldn't even look at the letter because it'll kill you. That's not what the word says. It says the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. Part of the purpose of Torah is to show us our sin, right? So the letter kills. What does it kill? Our sinful, soulish desires. It kills sin. So then what happens? Then the spirit, the ruach of Yahweh empowers us and gives us life to live that word. We are to be like Yeshua. The word was made flesh and dwelt among us, John 1, 14. The Hebraic perspective there clears that up. Life in the spirit is not contrary to life and obedience. There are those out there that say life in the spirit is, well, it's about feeling. No, it's not. There are those out there, you know, they won't cross the street. They won't tie their shoes. They won't make an order at McDonald's unless they hear from the Holy Spirit telling them. I know people like this. I know a guy that, you know, he walks in the room, he, hello, the prophet is here, and he announces it. And, you know, this guy, he won't brush his teeth on the right side of his mouth unless he hears the Holy Spirit tell him to do so. If it's all about feeling or euphoric feelings or Holy Ghost goosebumps, what kind of faith does that take? Well, if it's all about having the feeling, what kind of faith does that take? Life in the spirit is living the Torah. It's having integrity. It's acting the same no matter who's around. It's acting the mitzvot through love and mercy and forgiveness. Life in the spirit will always, let me make this clear, Baruch HaKadosh will always lead you towards the truth. He will always lead you towards obedience. It's you who has to decide whether you want to go or not. There are people out there, you know, we think about like John Hagee and all these other pastors out there that are always opening their eyes to the holy days. You know, John Hagee's church celebrates Feast of Tabernacles and Passover and all these things. Well, why aren't they saying the sacred name? Why aren't they doing this? You know what? They are the ones who are choosing not to. It's not that the spirit isn't leading people. That's how you're getting to hear this message today because the spirit's leading you. We're on a journey. Amen. We're all listening. Yahweh is restoring the faith. Yahweh's restoring it. And some people it takes time. Some people just jump in, dive in head first. That's what I did. But some people it takes more time. But the ruach is never going to lead you away from the word. Let me show you this real quick. We've got to finish up. In Colossians in Colossians chapter three, it says, let the word of Messiah, the what? The word of Messiah dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another and singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to one another. Colossians 316, it says, let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another. So here we got the word, right? We got obedience to the Torah and it says you should do this with admonishing and teaching and spirit filled songs. Then in Ephesians chapter five, it says, do not be drunk with wine, but be filled with the spirit, speaking to yourself with prayers and songs and praises, spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the master Yahweh, giving ho to always or thanks always to all things to Yahweh. Almost exactly the same words. One, it says, let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly. One, it says, be filled with the Ruach HaKodesh. They are one in the same. The word of Yahweh and the Ruach HaKodesh is one in the same. It tells us in Romans chapter seven, verse 14, but the Torah is spiritual. Then in Romans 8, 6, it says to be spiritually minded is life and peace. So what does that mean? It says in Romans chapter seven, verse 14, the Torah is spirit or spiritual. And then in Romans 8, 16, it says to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and shalom, peace. They're not at odds with each other. A walk in the spirit is a walk in the Torah, not a part of each other. That's part of the restoration that's taking place today. Many sincere people out there, many sincere rabbis, messianic movers and shakers, prophets and priests and people, whatever, they're out there and they say that Yeshua will not return until the 12 tribes are gathered or until the truth of Torah goes out or until the fivefold ministry is restored or to all these things that happen. You've heard some of this, right? These people are sincere, but they're sincerely wrong. How many know you can be sincere and be sincerely wrong? Let's look at Acts chapter one. We'll finish here. This is one of the most popular verses in our movement, the messianic movement. Yeshua is about to go up to heaven. Yeshua is about to go up to heaven. And they ask him, well, when will you return or restore the kingdom to Israel? Right? That was the name of our teaching, the restoration. We talked about the restoration of the faith. We talked about the restoration of the Ruach. And folks, it's so important to know that the number one thing on Yeshua's mind before he's left was the restoration of Israel, the 12 tribes who have been called out to be a light to the nations. However, if we take that verse out of context, we do it a disservice. A text out of context is called a pretext. Let's read it in context. Verse five, verse four, being assembled together with them, he commanded them, they should not depart from Yerushalayim, but wait for the Lord to come to them. They should not depart from Yerushalayim, but wait for the what? The promise of Abba, which he said, you have heard from me. For Yochanan HaMetbil, or John the Immerser, truly immersed you with water, but you shall be immersed with the Ruach HaKodesh not many days from now. Verse six, when they therefore come to him, they said, will you at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel? And he said to them, it's not about knowing the times or the seasons, which Abba has put under his own authority, but you shall receive power after the Ruach HaKodesh has come upon you. And you shall be my witnesses to me, both in Yerushalayim, in Judah, Judea, Samaria, and the four corners of the world. You shall receive power when the Ruach HaKodesh comes upon you. The restoration of our faith, the restoration of Israel is dependent upon the Ruach HaKodesh, the restoration of the Ruach, of us understanding the Ruach HaKodesh, of us walking in the Ruach, flowing in the Ruach, being baptized, empowered by her, and witnessing and live our lives as it says, you shall receive power after the Ruach HaKodesh comes upon you. And we know that on the Feast of Pentecost, Shavuot, is when the Ruach fell, but it didn't fall upon everyone because they had to be immersed, for those who weren't there, had to be immersed in the Ruach later as a separate experience. You shall receive power. So when will the 12 tribes come together? When will, you know, the end of days really start to begin to happen? When the Ruach begins to fill us, like the dry bones begins to fill up Israel, and the dry bones begin to get up and begin to prophesy. When Israel, when us, when we who know Yahweh's name, when we who know the truth of Torah, begin to be filled and empowered by Yahweh's Ruach and begin to flow in His Spirit, then we will have power to witness. And that is when, guess what, the room is going to be filled up with people. That is when the nations out there and those out there, the little pockets of believers will begin to grow and to flourish even more. Because it is then that Yeshua is going to, the timetable is going to be getting a little faster. And it is then when the restoration of Israel is going to take place faster and faster and faster as the Spirit is restored along with the Word. That is key. That is key. Don't see the Ruach as, you know, something separate. It is key to our restoration. But the restoration of Israel cannot take place without the power of the Ruach HaKodesh. Amen? So the question is, what do we do with it? We hear it. We hear the teaching. And what do you do with it? How this all comes together? I think so. So have you experienced the Ruach HaKodesh? Really experienced it? We've been around some of it. We've seen some of it. But have we really experienced the mikvah, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the Ruach HaKodesh? Are we continually immersing ourselves in the Spirit's power? How do you do that? Jude 1.8, right? Therefore build yourselves up in the holy faith by praying in the Spirit. Do you pray in the Spirit? Will you pray in the Spirit more now that you see this? In Matthew 7.7, here it makes it very simple. If there are those here that have not received the baptism in the Ruach HaKodesh, those listening to this teaching, it's very simple. You ask and you shall receive.
