Program 13: Holy Spirit: Breath of Yah

Scripture reveals that the “holy spirit is, literally, the breath of Yahuwah.

Welcome to WLC Radio, a subsidiary of World’s Last Chance Ministries, an online ministry dedicated to learning how to live in constant readiness for the Savior's return.

For two thousand years, believers of every generation have longed to be the last generation. Contrary to popular belief, though, Christ did not give believers “signs of the times” to watch for. Instead, he repeatedly warned that his coming would take even the faithful by surprise. Yahushua urgently warned believers to be ready because, he said, “The Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” [Matthew 24:44]

Main Program

Part 1:

Miles Robey: Greetings! And welcome to WLC Radio. I’m your host, Miles Robey.

Dave Wright: And I’m Dave Wright. We’re glad you could join us today!

Miles: In a previous radio program, Dave laid out for us the evidence that the doctrine of the trinity is not Scriptural but comes from ancient paganism.

Dave: That’s right, Miles. The belief in a Father, Son, and Holy Ghost united in one triune godhead, is foundational to modern Christianity. And yet, the earliest Christians didn’t believe in it! Even the New Catholic Encyclopedia states, and I quote: “One should not speak of Trinitarianism in the New Testament without serious qualification . . . when one does speak of an unqualified Trinitarianism, one has moved from the period of Christian origins to, say, the last quadrant of the 4th century. It was only then that what might be called the definitive Trinitarian dogma ‘one God in three Persons’ became thoroughly assimilated into Christian life and thought.”

So even Catholics admit that it was not an accepted doctrine in Christianity until 400 years after the life of Christ!

Scripture certainly doesn’t teach a triune godhead. The King James Version of the Bible says in Deuteronomy 6, verse 4: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” The idea that we worship some sort of one-is-all-and-all-is-one triumverate of gods is a purely pagan concept.

Miles: So . . . are you saying there’s no such thing as a Holy Spirit?

Dave: No, I’m not saying that at all.

Miles laughs: Good! Because Scripture does speak of a “Holy Spirit.”

Dave: Indeed it does and that’s what I want to talk about today.

Miles: And I want to hear what you have to say. Before we get into that, though, I just want to give a quick heads up to our first-time listeners.

If this is your first time tuning in, you’ll notice we prefer to use the original, personal names of the Father and the Son. Careful study reveals that the Father’s personal name is “Yahuwah”, or Yah, and the name of the Son isn’t “Jesus” but “Yahushua.” El, Eloah, and Elohim, are titles used in Scripture to refer to Yahuwah.

It’s important to know their names because Scripture repeatedly encourages us to “Call upon” their names. And we can’t do that if we don’t know what the names are!

Dave chuckles: That’s right! But there’s more. One of the rewards promised is that the over-comer will have the names of the Father and Son written on them.

Revelation says: “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God [or Eloah], and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my Eloah, . . . and I will write upon him my new name.” [Revelation 3:12]

Miles: So the names of both the Father and the Son will be written on the over-comers?

Dave: Right! It’s a tremendous honour because it’s saying, in other words, that we shall be adopted into the royal family. We shall no longer be rebels “born of fornication”, if you will, but loved and accepted as members of the royal family of Heaven. We shall be given their names!

Miles: That’s beautiful! Okay, now, Dave. I’ve got a question for you. In a previous program, you already showed that the doctrine of the trinity came from paganism.

Dave: Right. No such thing as some mystical “third person of the godhead.”

Miles: Okay, then, but what is it? Because Scripture does speak of a “holy spirit”. In fact, there are references to the “Spirit of Yah”, the “Holy Spirit” or “Holy Ghost” throughout both the Old and New Testaments. So, what is it?

Because, I’ll be honest – the fact that Scripture does speak of a “Holy Spirit” is one of the reasons I didn’t take non-trinitarians seriously for a long time. How can you say there is no trinity when the Bible does speak of a “Holy Spirit”?

Dave: That’s a good question, Miles, and I’m glad you asked it. The answer becomes clear once you understand what, precisely, the Holy Spirit IS. There are two words used in Scripture to refer to the Holy Spirit. The first is the Hebrew rûwach. That is used throughout the Old Testament.

The second is the Greek pneuma. They mean the same thing.

Miles: Now is this the same word used for “spirit” as in, say, Leviticus where it says: “A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death”? [Leviticus 20:27]

Dave: No. The word translated “spirit” there comes from a completely different word and means “necromancer” or, one who talks with the dead.

Miles: Ohhh. Okay.

Dave: That word is never used to refer to the Holy Spirit, or the “Spirit of Yah.” The very first use of ruach to refer to the Holy Spirit is found in the very first chapter of the Bible. The first words of Scripture contain a reference to the Holy Spirit. It says: “In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters.” [Genesis 1:1-2]

The plural “Elohim” here refers to the Father. This was a commonly used literary device to magnify the importance of the person who was being referred to.

Miles: So what do ruach and pneuma mean then?

Dave: Precisely what Scripture says. The word ruach is defined as: “breath, air, wind, breeze, spirit.” What this is saying is that the Holy Spirit is, literally, Yah’s breath.

And the Greek form, pneuma means exactly the same thing: a current of air; a breath, or a breeze.

Miles: Can you give us some examples of where that’s used and it means breath?

Dave: Sure! In Genesis 6, we read where Yahuwah says: “My spirit [or, breath] shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” And then, just a few verses later, it says: “I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.”

It’s the same word used for “breath” as is used for “spirit.” Same word. [See Genesis 6:3 & 17.]

Later, in the discussion between Job and his friends, the word [ROO akh] is used in the same sense. Eliphaz the Temanite tells Job: “They that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. By the blast of Yah they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.” The breath of his nostrils? That’s the same word as used in Genesis 1 for the spirit of Yah that hovered over the waters. [Job 4:8-9]

Psalm 150, verse 6 admonishes us: “Let every thing that hath breath praise Yahuwah.” Breath here is the same as spirit: ROO akh.

When Daniel, in vision, fainted, the angel told him to “fear not” but Daniel said: “How can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.” [Daniel 10:17]

So you can see that the word ruach is understood to mean breath and not some disembodied third person of some mystical godhead.

Miles: You’ve got my mind spinning here, Dave. So let me throw out a few more verses to you.

Dave chuckles: All right! Shoot.

Miles: Isaiah 61:1: “The Spirit of Adonai Yahuwah is upon me; because Yahuwah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek.”

Dave: Mmm. Beautiful prophecy of the Saviour’s mission. Yep. The “Spirit” of Yahuwah here is, literally, the breath of Yahuwah.

Miles: Ezekiel 36:26: “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.”

Dave: M-hm. A new “spirit” will I put within you; new breath will I put within you. Breath is often the symbol for life. In other words, what this text is saying is that Yahuwah will put in a new motivating power within us. Just as He breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being, so will He do for all who ask Him. He, the Creator, will RE-create us anew.

Miles: That’s beautiful.

Dave: It’s the same concept we find in Psalm 146. In speaking of praising Yah while one lives, it says: “While I live will I praise Yahuwah: I will sing praises unto my Eloah while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath or ruach goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.” [Psalm 146:2-4]

Miles: That reminds me of another passage found in Ecclesiastes. Solomon was saying, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” Then, speaking about when one dies, he said: “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto Yah who gave it.”

[Ecclesiastes 12:1, 7]

The “spirit” that returns to Yah who gave it is the same spirit, or [ROO akh]?

Dave: Yes, man became a living being when the Creator breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. When we die, that breath, containing the life-giving spark from the divine Life-giver, returns to the Creator.

This is how the word is used throughout Scriptures. You’ve got the “Spirit of Yah” moving upon the waters. Now, remember at Creation, Genesis one reveals He spake . . . and it WAS. His words, formed by His breath, had the power to do what He said.

This is a key concept here and one that most people never learn. Yahuwah is so powerful, even His breath contains creative power.

Miles: Are you serious?

Dave: It says so in Scripture!

Miles: Where?

Dave: Well, Isaiah 55 for one. Here. Listen while I read it.

Miles: All right.

Dave: Isaiah 55, verses 6 to 11 say: “Seek ye Yahuwah while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto Yahuwah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our El, for he will abundantly pardon.”

See, it’s an invitation to repent and return to Yahuwah for forgiveness. Then, to encourage believers to trust in His love, Yah adds: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Yahuwah. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Now notice this next part. It’s key to understanding this. Yahuwah’s going to explain that His very words contain the power to do what they say. He says: “For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So. Shall. My. Word. Be. That goeth forth out of my mouth: IT shall not return unto me void, but IT—My Word—shall accomplish that which I please, and IT—My word—shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

Miles: So let me see if I’ve got this straight. What you’re saying is that Yah’s WORDS themselves accomplish whatever they say. The words, formed by His breath, do the work of whatever He says.

Dave: Precisely. It’s kind of a new concept to wrap your brain around, so let me give you an illustration.

Miles: Okay.

Dave: Let’s say I need your help carrying something out of the storage room over there. We go in and it’s dark. I mean, really dark. Can’t see a thing. And I say, “It’s light.”

I’d be a liar! It’s not light just because I announce: “It. Is. Light.” It’s still dark! But you see, that’s the difference between you and me, and Yah! When Yah says “It is light”, it IS!!

Now me, I have to flip on the light switch to get light, but the Creator doesn’t. All He has to do is speak the words and His very breath, His spirit, contains the power to do what is spoken.

Miles: Wow. Yeah, that’s a new thought to me.

Dave: And it’s how He spoke the universe into existence. It says so right in Genesis 1. It’s beautifully written in our Bibles, but to take a more direct translation it would say:

Light . . . BE!

Light was.

Firmament . . . BE!

Firmament was.

Plants . . . BE!

Plants were.

Fish, birds . . . BE!

Fish were.

Animals . . . BE!
Animals were.

Miles: I get it. What Yahuwah says, IS. It’s just that simple.

Dave: Yes, and that’s why it’s literally impossible for Yahuwah to lie. If I say that something is so, when it actually isn’t, I’m a liar. But if Yahuwah says something is so, then all of a sudden, it IS so . . . even if it weren’t so before He said it! That is the power of His spoken word.

Miles: That finally makes sense. I’d always assumed that Yahuwah does not lie simply due to the strength of His character and His integrity. And that’s so, but it’s more than that. You’re saying that He literally cannot lie because His words themselves contain creative power.

Dave: I’m not saying it! Scripture is saying it! Take a look at Psalm 33. It’s a call to praise Yahuwah. But notice what it says. It says: “Rejoice in Yahuwah . . . Sing unto Him a new song . . . For the word of Yahuwah is right; and all His works are done in truth . . . By the word of Yahuwah were the heavens made’ and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. . . . For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” [Psalm 33:1, 3-4, 6, & 9]

Miles: Why have we never heard this before?

Dave: I don’t know because it’s one of the most beautiful, powerful truths recorded in Scripture! And here’s something else I want to share. It’s not precisely about the Holy Spirit per se, but I want to bring it out here because it ties in and it’s powerful.

Miles: What’s that?

Dave: Well, you’ll recall that at the burning bush when Moses was told to return to Egypt and free the Israelites, he asked, “Who shall I say sent me?”

Miles: Yeah, that’s the first time we get the divine name spelled out. He said: “I Am That I Am.” Tell them, “I Am hath sent me unto you.” [Exodus 3:14]

Dave: Right. Well, you look up that phrase: I AM THAT I AM, and it comes from a verb of being. It means, literally, to be.

Now you combine this with Hebrews 13 that says, “Yahushua is the same yesterday, today, and forever” – and what is true of Yahushua is true of His Father as well – you’ve got an incredibly powerful name! [Hebrews 13:8]

Yah IS – present tense. A very present help in trouble.

Yah WAS – past tense.

Yah SHALL BE – future tense.

Miles: Malachi 3 says, “I am Yahuwah, I change not.” [Malachi 3:6]

Dave: He WAS.

He IS.

And He SHALL BE. That is our assurance and our comfort.

Miles: It’s strange to think of a verb of being as a name. When my wife got pregnant, she spent 9 months looking through lists of baby names, trying to find just the right one. You don’t think of a verb of being as a name and yet, for the Creator, it fits!

You list out all the verbs of being and every single one applies to Yahuwah:

• IS
• AM
• ARE
• WAS
• WERE
• BE
• BEING
• BEEN

They all apply!

Dave: It’s beautiful! His name being a verb of being underscores His self-existence and His eternal nature. Now here’s what’s interesting. The word in Exodus 3:14 that is translated as “I AM THAT I AM” is the Hebrew word hâyâh. What does that sound like to you?

Miles: Well, it kind of sounds like a yell given by martial artists. “Hiyah!”

Dave laughs: Exactly! I read somewhere once that it was even used long ago as a war cry in . . . Korea, I think it was. Now, if you look it up in the online Urbane Dictionary, they give a rather humorous definition of Hiyah. It says Hiyah is “Often used in Martial art combat, [and] it is a sudden exhale of breath used to give you extra power, and . . . make you look and sound cool.”

So here again we have this idea of breath. You breathe out as you speak the word with intent.

Now what’s REALLY interesting is if you flip back over to Genesis 1, and guess what you find?

Miles: What?

Dave: You find this same verb of being, Yahuwah’s name, IN the Creation account!

Miles: Really! Where?

Dave: Light . . . BE!

Light was.

Plants . . . BE!

Plants were.

It’s right there.

Miles: Incredible. This gives us incredible insight into just how Yah was able to speak the universe into existence.

Dave: Yes, but what’s more, it should give us incredible incentive to take Him at His word and claim the promises.

His word says: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of Yah that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him.” [James 1:5]

You need wisdom? His word to you is: BE wise.

You need courage? His word to you is: “BE strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for Yahuwah thy Eloah, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” [Deuteronomy 31:6]

You need forgiveness? You need cleansing? His word to you is BE forgiven; Be cleansed, because “If we confess our sins, He IS—present tense verb of being—faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” [1 John 1:9]

Miles: That’s beautiful. How can anyone fail with that kind of divine power at our disposal?

Dave: And that is the true secret of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says that the Holy Spirit is Yahuwah’s breath. His very breath has the power to do what He says, whether that is to create worlds, or to re-create the human heart.

Part 2:

Miles: So now, we’ve learned that the doctrine of a triune godhead comes from paganism. Scripture teaches that the Holy Spirit is Yah’s breath, literally.

Dave: Right. It’s the active agent in creation, whether we’re talking about the creation of worlds, or the RE-creation of the human heart.

Miles: So, if there is no triune godhead working together – and clearly there’s not – how does it all work?

Dave: Well, we worship the Father who is the originator of all life, and goodness, and love. The Father and the Son are united as one and work together for the good of all creatures.

The Father is:

Omniscient – All-knowing;

Omnipotent – All-powerful; and,

Omnipresent – Everywhere at once.

Miles: Kind of like how kids view their parents.

Dave laughs: Right. And this incredibly beautiful partnership they wish to include us within! Here. Turn over to John, chapter 16, would you?

Right before the Saviour’s betrayal in Gethsemane—probably as they were walking there—He explained to the disciples how He and His Father are ONE, and how they intend to draw us into that same oneness with them!

This is the conversation where He told them: “Abide in Me and I in you.” [John 15:4] It’s also where He prayed for all believers, saying: “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: . . . And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.” [John 17:20-23]

And how is this ONE-ness achieved?

Miles: By the Holy Spirit.

Dave: By the Holy Spirit, yes. Here. Read what He says in John 15 and 16 about the Holy Spirit.

Miles: “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me . . . Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”

[John 15:26; 16:7]

Dave: See, that’s a promise. He’s not going to leave them alone and destitute. He’s going to send the comforter to them, the Spirit of Truth, the BREATH from His Father that has the power to do what it says.

And this was a very real thing! Just a few chapters later, after His resurrection, Yahushua went to see the disciples, John 20 says, quote: “he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” [John 20:22]

We haven’t understood that this was a very real thing. The very breath of Yah that spoke the universe into existence and raised Yahushua from the dead, was breathed onto the disciples to do a very specific work.

Let’s go back to John 16. It spells out what that work of the Holy Spirit is. John 16, beginning at verse 8.

Miles: “When he [the Spirit of truth] is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me;

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” [John 16:8-11]

Dave: So that’s the work the Spirit of Yah is to do. It is to be a rejuvenating, revivifying power in the world to instruct, to recreate.

Now read the next two verses.

Miles: “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” [John 16:12-13]

Dave: This is the immense gift offered anyone who will accept it by faith. It’s the eternal destiny awaiting every single person who will submit their wills to the Father and become united with Him and His Son, become ONE with them through the Spirit of truth.

Miles: I see! That’s why, in Galatians, Paul could say: “Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of Yah through Yahushua.” [Galatians 4:7]

Dave: Right! That’s it exactly.

Ezekiel 36 contains one of the most beautiful—and most powerful—promises recorded in Scripture. We just haven’t understood the full significance of this passage. You can’t understand it fully if you’re a Trinitarian.

But now, knowing that the “Spirit” is Yahuwah’s own breath, containing His divine, creative, ex nihilo power, it has tremendous significance.

Miles: This all makes so much more sense than some holy, disembodied ghost. It’s beautiful!

Dave: It really is. Now listen to what Ezekiel has to say. Read verses 26 and 27 of chapter 36.

Miles: Ezekiel 36:26 to 27 says . . . “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.”

Dave: That’s a promise from the Creator! He will be your RE-creator! When Adam and Eve sinned, we all inherited a fallen, sinful nature. But here, Yahuwah is promising to take away that fallen nature, that “stony heart” out of our flesh, and give us a brand NEW heart – a heart of flesh. A new nature!

The one who breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life, is willing to breathe His spirit on us today, that we might be recreated in His image!

Miles: What a promise! As a lad, I felt it so unfair that we should all be condemned because of the sin of Adam and Eve, but here, with this understanding, Yah’s leveling the playing field, isn’t He? He’s making it all fair. He’s bringing it right back to the same thing as it was for Adam and Eve: it is once again based upon our CHOICE.

Dave: Exactly. Genesis 1 states that Yahuwah “created man in his own image, in the image of God, (or Eloah) created He him; male and female created He them.” And now, that SAME Creator is offering every one of us the chance to choose to be RE-created in His own image.

Miles: So, tell me: how can you know for a surety that He has fulfilled His promise to you, to recreate you? Some people have so much “joy in the Lord”, so much confidence. How can you KNOW, for yourself, that He will keep His promises to you through His spirit?

Dave: Well, I’ll tell you one way that is NOT an indicator and that is your feelings.

Our feelings are changeable! We’re looking forward to a holiday off work, we’re excited about a job promotion, it’s easy to feel happy and hopeful and as though we are full of faith.

But get a cold or the flu, don’t get quite enough sleep, and we’re dragging through the day, feeling down and depressed. Your feelings are no indicator whatsoever that Yah has or has not kept His promise to breathe on you His spirit and recreate you in His image.

You want to KNOW for yourself? Just take Him at His word and remember: He can’t lie! What He says becomes the new reality.

Miles: Oh, that’s right! New concept here. That’s very good. Okay, so with this new understanding, can you explain to us what the unpardonable sin is?

Dave: The unpardonable sin has traditionally been known as the “sin against the Holy Spirit.” Yahushua explained the unpardonable sin in Mark 3. He said: “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.”

Now the thing that most people get confused over is they get the feeling that Yahuwah is a bit . . . vindictive, when it comes to forgiving this one sin. After all, we hear how much He forgives every other sin, right? So why not this one?

Miles: Oh, yeah! You really can get that sense. I have felt that way before, at any rate. Not something you like to admit to, but you do wonder: why can’t He forgive this sin if He can forgive all others?

Dave: It’s a good question and the answer is: He can’t forgive this sin, because He’s polite.

Miles: What do you mean?

Dave: Yahuwah’s polite! He’s not going to force Himself in where He isn’t wanted. When a person really does not want the spirit of Yah to convict his conscience, He’s not going to keep forcing Himself where He isn’t wanted. Remember, the work of the “Comforter” was to do . . . what?

Miles: Convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment.

Dave: Right! So when a person repeatedly rejects the convicting impressions of the spirit of Yah, Yahuwah is not going to force Himself on the person. He will politely, though sadly, retreat. He’ll withdraw. And that is when the sin becomes unpardonable because, once the convicting spirit of Yah has withdrawn, what else is there? How else is He supposed to reach the heart?

Miles: That makes sense. There really is no other way. When His life-giving, life-renewing spirit or breath is the only means available to be recreated in His image and you repeatedly reject it, there really is nothing left that can be done.

Dave: But the good news is, Yahuwah doesn’t give up right away. He tries over, and over, and over again. In Revelation 3, He says: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” [Revelation 3:20]

And this invitation is still available today! It’s free to all who will just take Him at His word.

Miles: Question: Ephesians 4, verse 30. Paul says: “Grieve not the holy Spirit of Yah, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” So, the way we grieve the breath of Yahuwah is . . . how? How do you grieve His breath?

Dave: You don’t grieve air, obviously. But you can grieve the heart of the Father. He is omnipresent through His life-giving, life-sustaining spirit, or breath. You grieve His heart when you reject the drawing power of His spirit. It gets right back to the unpardonable sin. The Father loves us so much, it grieves His heart when anyone rejects His spirit and He has to withdraw.

Miles: He loves us so much!

All right! We’ll be back with our Daily Mailbag in a moment.

Daily Promise

This is Elise O’Brien with your daily promise from Yah’s word.

Henry was born on a farm. His father was an emigrant; his mother an orphan. Henry hated farming but he wasn’t afraid of hard work. He knew what he wanted, and he knew how to stay focused on his goals. Eventually, Henry Ford, founded the Ford Motor Company. By perfecting the assembly line technique for manufacturing automobiles, Henry was able to make cars affordable to the masses.

He once said: "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."

Hebrews 12 encourages us: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Yahushua, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of Yahuwah.”

Yahushua endured the cross because He never took His eyes off the goal. The goal was an eternity spent with those He loves.

We, too, have been given tremendous incentives to keep our eyes on the goal. First Corinthians chapter 2 assures us: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which Yah hath prepared for them that love him.”

That’s a promise! Cling to it. Don’t give in to fear when mountains of difficulty appear on the horizon. Like one elderly woman said, “Son, if the mountain were smooth, you couldn’t climb it!” Anything you need for overcoming, Yahuwah is ready and willing to bestow.

No matter what obstacles appear in your path, keep your eye on the goal: An eternity of peace and joy in the company of the Father and the Son.

We’ve been given great and precious promises. Go and start claiming!

Ending Points

Miles: You know, Dave, I have really enjoyed today’s topic. Like I said earlier, this has been a topic that’s been rather confusing to me. I didn’t get how anyone could say there was no trinity when Scripture clearly does refer to a “Holy Spirit.”

But it makes sense now. The Holy Spirit is the very breath of Yah. That life giving power that spoke the universe into existence!

Dave: It’s very faith affirming, once you realize what the Holy Spirit truly IS. It’s not some mystical, disembodied ghost. It is literally His breath, and His breath contains the power to do what it says.

So when He says: “Thy sins be forgiven thee, go and sin no more,” the very breath that propels the words contains the creative power to make it happen, just as it did when He said, “Light, BE!” and light was.

Miles: And this is all lost sight of when you believe in a triune godhead.

Dave: Right!

Miles: Satan’s really won a victory in covering up this truth, shoving it aside, and planting a pagan doctrine in place of the truth.

Dave: He really has. And he’s done it because he knows Yah’s people are going to need the strength and the confidence that comes with knowing the truth.

If you are following truth and your job is on the line, you’re going to need the strength that comes from knowing Yah is capable of fulfilling any and every promise ever given.

If your marriage is at stake because your spouse refuses to follow truth, you are going to need the comfort that comes from knowing Yah is as close as your very next breath.

When your very life is in danger because you refuse to compromise on the truth, you are going to need courage. And that courage is going to come from the knowledge that Yah’s promises are yours for the claiming.

Dave: Knowing that the very breath of Yah contains the power to do what it says will give you the courage to claim the promises YOU need for any given situation!

Miles: Alisa Hope Wagner wrote, quote: “At any moment we can demonstrate our faith by taking action that shows our belief in Yah's promises!”

Understanding precisely what the Holy Spirit really is, gives you that confidence to take Yah at His word and claim the promises that fit YOUR situation!

Dave: And we need that confidence to stand faithful in the crisis just ahead.

Miles: We hope you join us again tomorrow, and until then, remember: Yahuwah loves you . . . and He is safe to trust!
