From Stone to Flesh - Ruach Ministries Int'l

The Purpose and Power of the Ruach HaKodesh The Ruach HaKodesh moves with divine purpose—not merely for signs and wonders, but to transform believers from within. Throughout Scripture, from Joseph to Solomon, from David to the apostles, the Spirit equipped Yahweh's servants with wisdom, understanding, and power. While many seek spectacular manifestations, Yeshua teaches that the true mark of the Spirit is walking in Covenant Relationship, evidenced by a heart of obedience. As Ezekiel prophesied, Yahweh places His Ruach within us "that they may walk in my statutes." The Ruach brings conviction of sin, guides into all truth, and empowers believers as witnesses. At Shavuot (Pentecost), the outpouring resulted in repentance, healing, unity, and bold proclamation of Mashiach. The ultimate evidence of the Ruach's presence isn't merely spiritual gifts but transformed hearts bearing fruit—love, joy, peace, and faithfulness—as we walk according to Yahweh's ways. Check it out

Teach us to pray Shalom y'all, this week we talk about prayer. There are so many things we can learn about prayer, but to me, the most important thing to remember is that prayer is a connection to YHWH. It can be private and personal but also open in a group or part of worship. With so many thoughts on prayer, or maybe the temptation to make it a “formula”, could be a reason Yeshua's disciples asked Him to teach them to pray.

Blood, Sweat, & Ears Shalom y'all, this week we talk about the reality of being hurt.

Shalom, y'all, this week we look at how, in the Scripture, we see many prophetic implications. We will explore the life of Yosef (Joseph) as a foreshadowing of Yeshua. We will see a picture of a suffering servant and a ruler of all the earth. While we can talk about many areas in Yosef's life spiritually and metaphorically, let us not forget that he was also a real person with real experiences. All of this together should increase our faith and encourage us to believe that one person makes a difference in the lives of others and the Kingdom of YHWH.   Also, Check out our main website at www.Ruachonline.com  If these have been a blessing to you, please consider donating to help us continue to put these teachings out.

Shalom Y'all, when many think of Eliyahu (Elijah), they love to think of the fire coming from heaven, but this was not the end of the story. Eliyahu was scared and discouraged after the Mt Carmel incident, where he slayed 400 prophets of Baal. What can we learn when we are trying to work restoratively and get discouraged when we feel we are "all alone"?

Shalom Y'all, Psalm 122 instructs us to ask (pray) for the peace of Jerusalem, do we still need to do this? I would say now more than ever we need to do this! So much that is happening in the world today (and in prophecy) is tied to Israel! Unfortunately, many do not see the importance of blessing Israel or the people of Israel. This week, we explore why we should bless Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.   please check out our website: www.Ruachonline.com  If these have been a blessing to you, please consider donating to help us continue to put these teachings out.

Shalom Everyone, in this teaching we explore Shabbat. Is Shabbat just a day of leisure? Is Shabbat a day for strict rules of observance? Is Shabbat a burden or a delight? What does the life of Yeshua teach us about Shabbat ?

Shalom Everyone, This week we talk about the festival of Sukkot (feast of tabernacles) We will talk about literal, physical, and spiritual observations concerning this festival. We will explore the meanings behind some of the observations and will look for the prophetic implications as well.

Shalom, Y'all, this week we explore the issue of who Yeshua really IS. Many people have many opinions, but Yeshua asked Kefa (Peter) “who do you say I am” this is the issue we will address.

One Mind One Heart Shalom Y'all, this week we look at what it means to be of one mind, one heart. Unity does not mean that we agree on every point of theology but that we see that there is a bigger purpose to our lives, to help build up the body and work to see the Kingdom of YHWH in our midst here on earth.

Shalom y'all, this week we will look at the resurrection throughout the Scriptures. We will also find that there is a connection to the ark of the covenant and the resurrection.

A Focus of the Heart Have you ever said, or heard it said “God knows my heart”, while this statement is very true it seems that we may not be honest with ourselves when making this statement. If we truly believed our statement, it would drive us to repentance, obedience, and thanking YHWH for His grace and mercy. We can however, live with a changed heart, His heart!

Breaking Generational Curses walking in Generational blessings When we repent and come to YHWH, we now live in an amazing covenant of life and blessing. As a people of covenant we can break the things that may have been passed on from generations, we can walk in a place of blessing that flows from generation to generation.

Shalom everyone this week we talk about Pesach, redemption, and how this ties in with Yeshua. In the weeks preceding Pesach the teachings will have something to do with the Pesach "season". Check it out.

Shalom everyone this week we talk about Preparation for Passover and the feast of unleavened bread. Is it important to “get the leaven out” physically, spiritually, or both. We will examine this further. Check it out.

Shalom everyone this week we talk about the Armor of God and how it relates to the High Priests garments. While we are going through this we also see the connection to Yeshua as our High Priest.

Haman, Purim, & the spirit of Amalech Shalom everyone this week we talk about the connections between Haman and Amalech and how that is relevant today. We will also address the meaning behind Purim and look at the idea that it is something for us to remember. Check it out.

Shalom everyone, this week we look at a few people in Scripture that YHWH DIRECTLY called by name. When someone calls you, you have choices as to how you will respond. We will look at those who responded with “hineni”, Here I am, and no more. There's a lot we can learn from this type of whole-hearted answer. Check it out.

Rosh Chodesh Adar, 12th biblical month “Preparing for Kingdom Living” This month of Adar, I would like to draw our focus and intent to being mindful of kingdom related things. Seeking to build, establish, and walk in the kingdom of YHWH here and now Are we building up and establishing the heart and kingdom of YHWH in our midst? 1 Peter 2:5 says “you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house—a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Messiah Check it out.

Shalom everyone, Have you ever thought about how Grace fits in with judgment? YHWH is gracious, merciful, and compassionate, but He is also Holy, Righteous, and Just. What does this mean in the context of how we study Scripture and how we live our lives? All these and more will be addressed this week, Check it out.

What is Shabbat? When is Shabbat? Does Shabbat still matter, is it even relevant to me? But Jesus said He was Lord of Shabbat, does that change anything? But Shabbat was made for man, not man for Shabbat. Does this change our perception of it? All these and more will be addressed this week, Check it out.

Shalom Y'all, This episode we talk about the betrothal of the bride. We have heard from many that Yeshua is going to return for His bride, but where do we see this imagery? We will look at this and the betrothal of a people at Sinai.

Shalom Y'all, This episode we talk about three men who came to Yeshua and professed they would follow Him. Yeshua's responses to them caused them to NOT follow after Him. We may have good intentions but are we really willing to follow when it contradicts what we think? Are we willing to follow when life gets difficult? Check it out  

The Acts 15 Council, Where Do We Begin? Shalom Y'all, This Shabbat we talk about the subject matter of the Counsel in Jerusalem in the book of Acts, Chapter 15. When we enter this chapter we find ourselves asking questions about new believers and where do we start in instructing them? James gave his recommendation in the end and it seemed that all were in agreement. What was the decision and how does that affect us? Check it out

Shalom Y'all, This week we talk about the message of the Gospel being counter-culture.

Shalom everyone, this week we look at the parable of Yeshua in Matthew 20 about the workers in the vineyard. How do we respond when we think someone receives something that we have worked for? What about when others are rewarded for something and we feel that it is unfair? This parable causes us to look at how we respond when YHWH gives grace to those whom we may feel don't deserve it. Truth be told, none of us deserve the grace of YHWH but He gives freely to whom He will. Check it out

We are now in the 8th Biblical month, this month can represent some contradictions and some conflict in our lives. How are we to handle Conflict with one another, and in a time of conflict are we really looking for resolution or are we just looking to be right? There's a lot to consider here as we dig in to the Word to learn how to walk “like He walked”

Wake up and Hear the Shofar! Shalom Y'all, this Shabbat we talk about the purpose and intent of Yom Teruah. There is not much to be said directly about this appointed time in Scripture, but what we find is that it is very prophetic and is important for us to know today.

Ki Tetze Shalom Y'all, this week we look at the situation of the rebellious son among the sons of Israel. We address this situation from the perspective of the accusations that were brought against Yeshua. We also see another interesting connection this week that ties in to Yeshua's Crucifixion, even in death Yeshua upheld the Torah.

Shalom everyone, Why is the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua timed along side of Passover? There are many appointed times and seasons that YHWH has set in place for revealing things concerning His character, and for certain events to occur. The Moedim (appointed times of YHWH) are not just actual dates and events that Israel was to observe, they are prophetic and they reveal the heart of YHWH for His people. The Spring appointed times testify of Yeshua at His first coming. The Fall appointed times testify of His return. This Shabbat we will focus on the timing of the Passover alongside Yeshua's life and reason for His coming. Check it out

Shalom everyone, We are in the midst of the Pesach season. This is a time that is to be forever observed as a time of deliverance, freedom, and thanking YHWH for covenant relationship. Pesach (Passover) is to be observed each year by those following YHWH, but what happens if someone is unable to observe? We again see the grace and goodness of YHWH in giving us another chance. This Shabbat we look at the second Pesach and also look at the Pesach to come! Check it out

Shalom everyone, Passover is quickly approaching. Are you ready? This week we look at First Fruits. This festival is tied to the time of Passover and Unleavened bread. How do we connect Yeshua to this festival? If all of the Moedim are prophetic, what does this one reveal to us? Check it out

Shalom everyone, Passover is quickly approaching. Are you ready? This week we look at 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. How can it be said that Yeshua is our Passover? We explore this and more in this week's teaching. Check it out

Shalom everyone, Passover is quickly approaching. Are you ready? Do we still need to look for leaven or was it just a metaphor? Will we be faithful examine our lives as we come to our King? Check it out

Shalom Y'all, this week we look at praying and laying on hands. There is more than one reason why someone in Scripture would lay hands on someone. This Shabbat we will look at a few examples from the Tanakh and the Brit Hadashah. This was recorded live at Ruach Ministries in Valrico, FL. You can find out more at www.Ruachonline.com  

Shalom Y'all, When Yeshua's disciples asked Him to teach them to pray, were they asking for a formula? Were they asking for guidelines? Were they asking what their mindset and intent should be? Was it any or all of these things? Join us this week as we examine "teach us to pray"
