Scripture Reading: Ezekiel 36:26-27, Ezekiel 37:1-10, Psalm 51:10-13, John 4:19-24, John 14:15-26, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 10:44-48
In this reading plan, we are learning more about God by studying the names given to Him in Scripture. Each day, you’ll come here to read the description of the name we’re studying today and a brief explanation of how God’s character is seen through His name. (Remember that because the Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek, some of God’s names are written in the English form of His name from their original language.) You can then head to today’s passages to see how this name functions in Scripture.
SPIRIT: The non-incarnate, or non-physical, presence of God on earth
The Old Testament contains many references to ruach, the “Spirit” of the Lord, which was one of the ways God’s presence manifested on earth. The New Testament uses pneuma for the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity.
In John 4, Jesus told the woman at the well that God is spirit. He was referring to the time, which has now come, when the Spirit of the Lord would no longer reside in temples built by human hands. Instead, the Holy Spirit dwells inside those who believe in Jesus.

God is Spirit – He is ever-present, life-giving, and relational. He is not far off or bound by physical forms—He is near, inside, renewing, and empowering you. His Spirit brings new life (Ezekiel), transforms hearts (Psalm 51), teaches truth (John 14), and builds a global, inclusive church (Acts).
I will place My Spirit within you and cause you to follow My statutes and carefully observe my ordinances.
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in the heart of my soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll!
.
Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!
(From the hymn Wonderful Peace)

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27
.
There is nothing that can compare to the peace God gives us. Peace through His presence. Peace that is unlike anything the world can offer.
.
When everything in this world seems to have gone awry, we can still have peace because the One who is our peace lives within us…do not let your heart be troubled. Do not be afraid.

“G-d is spirit,and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and truth.” John 4:24
God meets us in our humanity in the person of Jesus Christ.
This is how we meet God when we worship.Man is a triune being: spirit,soul,and body.We connect to Him through our God through our spirit. G-d meeting man and man meeting G-d. This is where G-d downloads his files and speaks to us! The Creator and Created in fellowship. G-d wired us for worship. We he brought us out of Egypt it was to go into the wilderness to worship.
This is an Atomic verse for me.
Random: I was reading a different translation of Genesis 1:2 “And this earth was once confused and tangled and darkness was over turmoil,and the Breath of G-d hovered over the waters.”
This is the Ruach Elohim.
That we should be When. I type on my phone.
In a rather dry bones place in my life at this time, my prayer is most certainly Ps 51:10-13. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me. Amen.
Ez 36:27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

John 14:16-17 Jesus’ words
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

Praying these words of the last verse for SRT sisters:
“I pray for your healing, that circumstances would change
I pray that the fear inside would flee in Jesus name
I pray that a breakthrough would happen today
I pray miracles over your life in Jesus name
I pray for revival, for restoration of faith
I pray that the dead will come alive in Jesus name
In Jesus name”

You’re changing everything
Spirit of the living God

We’re leaning in to all You are
Everything else can wait

When You do what only You can do

When You come in the room
When You do what only You can do
It changes us
It changes what we see and what we seek
You’re changing everything
When You move, You move all our fears
When You move, You move us to tears
When You move, You move all our fears (yes, You do)
When You move, You move us to tears
When You fall, we fall on our knees
When You fall, we fall at Your feet
When You fall, we fall on our knees
When You fall, we fall at Your feet…
