The Ruach of God



The Hebrew word Ruach means spirit, wind, breath.  When God breathed life into man He not only gave him physical breath, but God gave him a spirit.  Since the time of the fall man's spirit was dead; no longer in touch with God.

The Spirit of God is also the Wind of God, blowing towards the Holy.  When a believer in Christ tries to walk away from the will of God, he will be walking against The Wind.  The Holy Spirit pushes against him making it more difficult to walk away from God.  God will never stop your walking, but he will resist your leaving.

When you walk towards God The Wind has your back and helps push you towards God.  Everything that is done for God is then easier because of the Holy Spirit in your life.
