God's Generals I



Presenting....... Kathryn Kuhlman - One of the greatest female ministers of this century In a time that was suspicious of both women ministers and Pentecostals, Kathryn Kuhlman shook twentieth-century Christianity back to its roots. Believers of all persuasions—Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, or whatever, it didn’t matter—flocked to her meetings to be healed or filled with the Holy Spirit as they had read about in the book of Acts. Though she called herself “an ordinary person,” the effects of her ministry were anything but ordinary. Kathryn was one of a handful of ministers after World War II who prophetically reintroduced the Holy Spirit and His gifts to the body of Christ on the earth in what has proven the greatest revival of all time: the Charismatic Renewal. Kathryn Kuhlman was born on May 9, 1907, to Joseph and Emma Kuhlman. A childhood friend described Kathryn as having “large features, red hair, and freckles. . . . She wasn’t dainty or appealingly feminine in any sense of the word. She was taller than the rest of ‘our gang,’ gangly and boyish in build, and her long strides kept the rest of us puffing to keep up with her.” One Sunday when Kathryn was fourteen, she attended church with her mother. As she stood singing, she began to shake all over and sob. A weight of conviction came over her, and she realized that she was a sinner in need of salvation and forgiveness. She slipped out from where she was standing, went to the corner of the front pew and sat weeping. At that moment Jesus lifted the weight from her shoulders and entered her heart. In 1924 when Kathryn was about seventeen, she and her older sister Myrtle persuaded their parents that it was God’s will for Kathryn to travel with Myrtle and her husband Everett in their evangelistic tent ministry. Then in 1928, after a meeting in Boise, Idaho, Everett decided to go on to South Dakota, while the women stayed behind and continued to minister there. The offerings collected, however, were not enough to support them and Myrtle soon decided to rejoin her husband. After this happened, a local Boise pastor offered Kathryn a chance to preach at an old pool hall that had been converted into a mission and Kathryn’s ministry began. From the “pool hall” mission, she went on to minister in Pocatello and Twin Falls and eventually ended up in Denver, Colorado. It was there that she founded the Denver Revival Tabernacle in 1935. That same year, Kathryn met Burroughs Waltrip, an extremely handsome Texas evangelist who was eight years her senior. Despite the fact that he was married with two small boys, they soon found themselves attracted to each other. Shortly after his visit to Denver, Waltrip divorced his wife, left his family and moved to Mason City, Iowa, where he began a revival center called Radio Chapel. Kathryn and her friend and pianist Helen Gulliford came into town to help him raise funds for his ministry. It was shortly after their arrival that the romance between Burroughs and Kathryn became publicly known. Burroughs and Kathryn decided to wed. While discussing the matter with some friends, Kathryn had said that she could not “find the will of God in the matter.” These and other friends encouraged her not to go through with the marriage, but Kathryn justified it to herself and others by believing that Waltrip’s wife had left him, not the other way around. On October 18th, 1938, Kathryn secretly married “Mister,” as she liked to call Waltrip, in Mason City. The wedding did not give her new peace about their union, however. After they checked into their hotel that night, Kathryn left and drove over to the hotel where Helen was staying with another friend. She sat with them weeping and admitted that the marriage was a mistake. She decided to get an annulment. The three women left Iowa for Denver in hopes of explaining what had happened to the congregation of Denver Revival Tabernacle. The congregation, however, was so furious with her for the secrecy of the marriage that they drove Kathryn “back into Waltrip’s arms.” In a moment’s time, the ministry that Kathryn had so diligently built was completely undone. People stopped attending her services. Her ministry was dissolved. Kathryn sold her portion of the Tabernacle. She’d lost everything. Her relationship with the Lord had suffered because she had put a man before her God. But from the moment she made the decision to divorce Waltrip and to surrender herself fully to the Lord, she never wavered again in answering the call that God had placed on her life so many years before. After Kathryn spent some time preaching in a mining community in Franklin, Pennsylvania, her ministry began to reshape. She traveled throughout the Midwest and the south into West Virginia and the Carolinas. In some places she was quickly accepted. In others, her past resurfaced and the meetings were closed. After an unsuccessful tour of the South, Kathryn was invited to hold a series of meetings in the fifteen hundred seat-auditorium of Gospel Tabernacle back in Franklin. It was there that Kathryn’s ministry was revived and the ills of the past eight years seemed to wash away. Not long after she opened meetings at the Tabernacle, she began daily radio broadcasts. Responses to the broadcasts were so great she soon added a station in Pittsburg. At this time Kathryn was mainly praying for people to receive salvation, but she was also beginning to lay hands on and pray for people who came asking for healing. Though she despised the term “faith healer,” she attended the meetings of such ministers hoping to find out more about this phenomenon of God. Kathryn took a deeper understanding of the workings of the Holy Spirit from each meeting, though many of the things that she witnessed she found to be “unwise performances” and a misuse of the Holy Spirit. In response, she always exhorted people to focus on Jesus and nothing else. As Kathryn searched the Scriptures about divine healing, she made a life-changing discovery. She read that healing was provided for the believer at the same time as salvation, and it was at this time that she began to better understand the believer’s relationship with the Holy Spirit. Then one night, a woman stood to give a testimony of healing. At Kathryn’s service the night before, without anyone laying hands on her and without Kathryn being aware of it, this woman had been healed of a tumor. She had even gone to her doctor to confirm her healing. Then that next Sunday, a second miracle occurred. A World War I veteran who had been declared legally blind from an industrial accident had eighty-five percent of his vision restored in the permanently impaired eye and perfect eyesight restored to his other eye. The crowds at the Tabernacle grew. Auditoriums would fill to capacity hours before she was to speak, and thousands were turned away. Countless miracles took place, most without any touch or prayer by Kathryn. She would simply walk the stage and call out healings as they took place where people sat. Sections of those in wheelchairs would walk. In one service, a five-year-old boy who had been crippled from birth walked onto the stage. In another in Philadelphia she laid hands on a man who had received a pacemaker eight months earlier, and the scar from the operation disappeared. Later x-rays confirmed that the pacemaker had as well! Great healing services continued and her ministry expanded to the neighboring towns. In 1950, a worldwide ministry began to develop and Kathryn’s messages were heard all over the United States via radio and her television broadcast, I Believe in Miracles. She grew so popular that she made appearances on The Johnny Carson Show and The Dinah Shore Show among several others. For the last ten years of her life, she held monthly services at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, where she ministered to countless thousands. Kathryn Kuhlman’s last miracle service was held in that same arena. Three weeks later, Kathryn lay dying in the Hillcrest Medical Center of Tulsa, Oklahoma, after open-heart surgery. Oral and Evelyn Roberts were among the few visitors permitted to see her. As they walked into her room and began to pray for her healing, Kathryn recognized what they were doing and “put her hands out like a barrier and then pointed toward heaven.” Kathryn gave her sister, Myrtle, the same message and on Friday, February 20th, 1976, Kathryn Kuhlman went home to be with Jesus. This says Kathryn.... The world called me a fool for having given my entire life to One whom I’ve never seen. I know exactly what I’m going to say when I stand in His presence. When I look upon that wonderful face of Jesus, I’ll have just one thing to say: ‘I tried.’ I gave of myself the best I knew how. My redemption will have been perfected when I stand and see Him who made it all possible. Seeing we are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses......

Kathryn Kuhlman 1907 - 1976

Is your software 'up to date' ?

Hiya friends, neighbors, brothers, sisters... OK you get the picture …
Hope you’ve all been having a swell time? Do I hear a YAY!!!!!? Dat’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout….
I would like to share with you a ‘rev’ that I just got… (Someone say amen sister!). So here I go ….

I Mettabel as female as I am, am a very ‘techie’ female - I love gadgets of all sorts – Nav systems, computers, Bluetooth, Greentooth - you know the earth friendly version of Bluetooth (sshhh that’s new– will hit the market in 2012. So please keep it on the down low. I SAID….).

Anyway as I was saying I love techie toys and I had put a leash on my “techieholism” for a while until recently I relapsed when I spied a phenomenon at Costco ! Much like Moses I decided to stop and examine this thing closer….. It was a bluray player! and not just any kind of bluray player, one that could actually connect through my home network to Pandora AND to Netflix - streaming music AND movies directly to my TV wow! I had to have this wonderful contraption…. Looking surreptitiously over my shoulder I bundled one of the last remaining ones onto my cart and behold it suddenly appeared in my home – how it got there?.... well…. Let me go on with my story. Once I got home I excitedly connected my new toy having banished my old trusty DVD player to the basement, only to find out that I needed a LAN adaptor to connect to the Internet, which was not included in the box. Saying a “loving” prayer for the store attendant that did not give me this bit of information, I paused the installation process.

A few days later, after having scoured the Internet – Amazon, half.com, eBay etc, I finally decided to purchase the adaptor at Best buy and to make my joy complete, they did a price match with Amazon, giving me a great deal on the price. I proudly took my new purchase home and eagerly connected it to the player but gasp!! It did not WORK !!!! I tried every maneuver in the book – manually entering my IP address, DNS server configs, (anyone impressed yet?) all to no avail – it would not connect! Grrrrr…… I finally abandoned the project and went back to watching my old DVDs on my Bluray player, still unable to connect to the Net.....

Around this time, an old college friend came all the way from Austraaalia to visited me - eh ibon! (bullet!) I mean came to visit me and in an effort to entertain her, I bought a Bluray movie –Yay my first…. But when I inserted the disc, the player did not recognize it and would not play the movie ! (this is going somewhere I promise you), I tried again and again but – no success. I finally had a brain wave – aha! I would read the manual to see if there was a troubleshooting algorithm, which of course there was, and it instructed me on how to download the software update for the player from the Internet onto my computer AND how upload it into the Bluray player by burning the info onto a CD, which would now be inserted into the player to achieve this. After a few false starts, I was able get this done, and soon after I proudly placed the disc I had made containing the downloaded material into the player ...... I started hearing a whirring sound... (...Comforting sound in the computer world) and VOILA! It WORKED! I had broken through!, I was actually walking on the silver lining ! Not only was I now able to play the movie in HD (– you gotta see it to believe it!) I was now able to connect to Netflix and Pandora through my home network AND also to Blockbuster AND YouTube! Come and see American wonder!

At last!!!! Techno gratification………

You might say – is there a point to all this? Of course there is! Please read on…….

At the end of this process I was struck by how our mundane life experiences actually mirror spiritual principles and serve as wisdom points in our lives…

Let’s assume we are all DVD players and we undergo a rebirth to ‘Bluraydom’ – old things are passed away and behold all things are new right? Now in our new status, we try to connect to the 'spiritual airwaves' and find ourselves unable to do so, and so we try and try and try and TRY but to no avail… Some of us unfortunately get stuck at this point.... Not that trying is bad, but trying does not get Bluray connected to the 'net'. We then get (hopefully) to that AHA! moment when we realize that to move further and achieve our purpose, we have to refer to our product manual otherwise known as The Bible and receive instructions on how to download the latest software that will enable us to achieve our goal i.e. establishing a connection and being able to play Bluray movies, and connect to the 'Internet" at will.

Now some of us sadly do not move past this point of realization, but go back to playing regular DVDs on a machine that was designed to do more, living below expected standards, others make a perfunctory effort then give up, but others still, like you and I, take up the challenge, process the information obtained from the manual, go to the Great Internet - God the father, through our computers – God the Son, and download the Kilobytes that drive our updates – God the Spirit.

This powerful pack now inserted into our players - (our minds), updates the inner workings of the player, enabling it not only to play Bluray discs as it was designed to (process spiritual information and translate it to visually sense able form), but when turned on, now able not only to connect through the 'Net' to Netflix and Pandora as promised but as a bonus also to Blockbuster and YouTube AT WILL. He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly..... What a wonderful God we serve! And what an allegorical illustration!

Soooo… in conclusion the moral of the story is…………

God bless you all, and I love you, BethElRuach

Freudian slip ?? .....???

A Freudian slip, or parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of some unconscious ('dynamically repressed') wish, conflict, or train of thought.
As a common pun goes, "A Freudian slip is when you mean one thing, but you say your mother."

The Freudian slip is named after Sigmund Freud, who in his 1901 book The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, described and analysed a large number of seemingly trivial, bizarre or nonsensical errors and slips,
As in the study of dreams, Freud submits his discussion with the intention of demonstrating the existence of unconscious mental processes in the healthy:
“In the same way that psycho-analysis makes use of dream interpretation, it also profits by the study of the numerous little slips and mistakes which people make -- symptomatic actions, as they are called [...] I have pointed out that these phenomena are not accidental, that they require more than physiological explanations, that they have a meaning and can be interpreted, and that one is justified in inferring from them the presence of restrained or repressed intentions and intentions. ”

with the above as background I recently made a discovery that illustrates the above perfectly and demonstrates how some choices we make unknowingly, unintentionally or as participants in 'pop culture' may determine the paths we take and the decisions we make.....

I was speaking to one of my elderly patients and was making a case for the unending cycle of life using the wedding band when I had somewhat of an epiphany - the traditional wedding band is represented by an unending circle - without beginning or end symbolizing the fact that a marriage is meant to last forever.... I however realized that this type of ring was actually not the most most common type of wedding ring in the united states... the most common type of ring is the Gimmel ring, which consists of two or more interlocking rings, joined by a pivot, so they could slide together to form one ring... these however are not inseparable. They can be pulled apart and there is also not a differentiation between the engagement and wedding parts of the ring.......

Currently The United states has the highest divorce rate in the world.... so the fact that the Gimmel rings and not the wedding bands are the most popular ....... Freudian slip or coincidence..... ??
Are couples unconsciously giving themselves an "out" even while vowing to be together forever...... hmm food for thought .... please feel free to comment.

What's in your hand and what are you looking at ?

Hello all!
I hope the week has been all you imagined it would be and more. A few months ago this group was started and Like I had intimated at that time, the driving purpose was to create a forum where we could minister one to another, building ourselves up and challenging each other unto good works by that which every joint supplies..... For those who have risen up to the challenge, I thank you, and pray that you be inspired the more to be a blessing in this forum and beyond. For those of us who are still testing the waters, WADE IN ! There is someone out there who needs to hear what you have to say and what The Spirit is saying to the Churches at this time.....
Sometimes we ask ourselves: What could I possibly have to offer? I say to you my friend whatever it may be, just bring it to the table and like the five loaves and two fishes, with the Lords blessing upon it will provide food enough to fill, with abundant leftovers ( I am just full of bibliodoms aren't I ? ... There I created a new word - bible based idioms....) so please, I urge you.......

Recently the Lord spoke these words to my heart and how true they are - I'd like to share them with you....
He said to my heart - The more you look at yourself- your shortcomings, your faults, your inadequacies, your successes, your achievements or what you think are your achievements, the more they are magnified in your eyes and the less you can see of me; but the more you look to me and into my Word, the more you will see of My grace, My mercy, My love and Truth and because My Word is like a mirror, It will bounce back at you, an image of all you see in My Word, that is different from what you had seen and you will have become an epitome of that which you see, reflect and morph into, by My Spirit.... I have decided to live by these words and have determined that I WILL NOT look at the the world, my finances, my problems, my needs, and have them be magnified in my sight but I WILL by His grace look to Him and let Him be magnified, that I may be magnified, and no this is not heresy.....For as He was in this world so are we..... We cannot and should not align ourselves with language of the day- The economy is bad, I don't have a job, I am tired, I don't know how to make ends meet, I'm the man, You go girl.......for in doing so we elevate these entities to a level that they do not belong. Rather, Let the high praise of God be in our mouths, Let us declare the Truth and boldly declare .... Be magnified Oh Lord, You are highly exalted, and there is nothing You can't do, Oh Lord be magnified, Oh Lord be magnified.

Shalom BethElRuach, the peace of God be with us all.... Amen

Happy birthday to me......

Happy birthday to me......

Yesterday was my birthday ! I had a wonderful day ... right ? Wrong wrong wrong !!!! I had what appeared to be one of the worst days of my entire year!
It started out pretty low key, but on a positive note: The work that I was having done in the house was finally looking like there was an end in sight, I was on a high from an incredible experience in God's presence the day before, and then boom ! I got locked out of my bedroom, with the bedroom key along with my car keys and the extra keys in the same bedroom ..... what very wise person did this amazing feat ? Moi of course ! but no sweat, I had done the same thing a few weeks ago and I just destroyed the lock with my bare hands...cool huh ? so because I did not want to mess up my manicure on my birthday I decided to call a locksmith. I waited quite unlike my usual self, patiently for 41/2 hours before the 'real' locksmith (another story for another time...) showed up. He then came in and proceeded to wreck my door frame... whooooosh! thump thump thump !! What was that ??! Oh... that was just my butt hitting the ground as I fell from my spiritual high horse and really LOST IT ! Y'hear me I LOST IT ! My cool out the door, I became a new creation...... I just lit into the poor man and his company threatening all sorts even though I had 'company' that didn't restrain me ! I had just had it ! A new basement, a new garage door, a new bathroom, my vintage drinking glasses collection broken by servicemen, now a new door??!!! No way...... they were going to pay !!! Anyway to cut a long tirade short, pictures were taken and emails sent to the appropriate quarters, THEN my pity party started..... the invitees, my mom of course, my bosom buddy, another friend, an acquaintance, anyone in fact, who would listen ..... finally I got prayed for thankfully, went to bed, and went to work today all spent and subdued.......

THEN God spoke to me...... anyone saying finally???... and what He said made everything make sense.... He said to me:

If you have run with footmen and they have wearied you, how can you run with chariots ?

Yesterday I had a confession, a profession, were these 'light' afflictions all it would take to unseat me from my seat in high places ?? CERTAINLY NOT!!!! So by God's amazing grace that does not bring to mind our badly behaved moments (I only hope that my friends can do the same - forget I mean) I am picking myself up and realizing that I have practice to go to.... to train for the race ahead; and NO MATTER WHAT, I WILL keep my profession of faith: No limits, no boundaries, I see increase all around me..... So if you ask me now, I will say: I had a great birthday because I learnt a lesson that I will cherish forever, I gather strength and will run with chariots , I will gather my garments around me and like Elijah will run ahead of the chariot of the king that wants to kill me and the storm that wants to overtake me.... no limits.... so with that ....I WISH ME A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!! Hip hip hip, hooray !!

Are you WUI-fit ?

As we all know the economy, the economy, the economy, has been the phrase on every one's lips especially so over the the past year or so and especially here in The U S of A, the proclamations of 'doom and gloom' have sometimes reached frenzied proportions and have been borne out by real life personal and corporate disasters - job losses, home foreclosures, bankruptcies you name it !

A lot of God's children have been hit really hard during these times..... if you think that nobody you know has been affected, think again because as my father would often say to me when I was a little girl - Just because something looks good on the outside does not mean that all is well - A gentleman's 'agbada' ( Djellaba, Flowing African robe) may appear rich, opulent and even kingly, and the gentleman may dance and walk like he has not a care in the world, but his kingly robes may be hiding a groin hernia so big you would wonder how he could carry all that weight around.... yes - you never know until you know..... So how do we deal with these 'new times' we have never before experienced ? and how do we help others do the same ?

I was reading an oldish edition of time magazine showcasing the design 'greats' of 2008 (which is why I would have been reading Time magazine anyway!) - some of you may have read this issue: It was filled with unique, some may even say frivolous pieces of frippery, that had sold at unheard of prices (at least to me....), AND some people had clamored, fought, bid and achieved acquisition of these 'one-of-a- kind' objects, sometimes just to satisfy a whim !

While I was reading this article with the 'mind boggling' money numbers in amazement, the Holy Spirit nudged asking me what I thought made these people eligible to appear on the pages I just perused, and made their products so desirable ? - Their talent certainly I said, but talent is a dime a dozen He said. What else ? and while I still thinking on His question..... The Holy Spirit whispered in my ear these words - Wisdom, Understanding and Insight - and said to me that these above all (pertaining to their trade) had elevated these people to places of distinction. He said to me that talent was but a small part and that Wisdom,Understanding, and Insight have the ability to multiply and diminish many times over, the measure of a talent - No wonder all Solomon asked for was wisdom, and also no wonder The servant's master was so angry with the servant that hid his talent....selah.

Wisdom, Understanding and Insight - WUI (wee-0ui, kinda like Wii -the acronym I gave it).... Yes we all need to not only to be physically - Wii -fit, we also need to be WUI-fit to survive these times that we are in... We need wisdom to know where to go, when to go, we need understanding what is needed for the now moment, not only for ourselves and our families, but the families in 'The Kingdom' ie The Kingdom of God, and we need insight to make those perceived needs a reality so that we can and will not only be able to weather and emerge victorious during these times, but that (linking it to the allegory above) we would also be able to discern and address the needs around us that could never have been discerned, but by divinely imparted insight.

So brothers and sisters let's make it our prayer this week and beyond, that the Holy Spirit would help us to be 'WUI-fit' through our study of The Word, our worship, exercising ourselves to hear what the Spirit is saying for the NOW, whether it be "Join this chariot" or "Go to the potter's house", and obedience to whatever instruction we hear.... Then and only then can we attain the dreams that we have dreamt, the hopes that we have nutured and the heights that we have aspired to........ As the book of Proverbs rightly states:
Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
For......
Proverbs 3:13Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Y'all have a great week and remember - Let's get WUI-fit !!! We ARE more than conquerors !

Welcome!

Hello friends,
I'd like to introduce you to BethElRuach a group where every man is a minister! A minister not in a titular way, but in a functional manner, ministering to needs in the body under grace and authority bestowed by His Spirit (Ruach) to function in that given capacity.
The concept of BethElRuach was birthed after the Lord said to me through my own voice shouting out as I was performing a daily mundane task, these words:
EVERY MAN A MINISTER!
To say the least I was very startled at this occurrence, not to mention my neighbors who must have heard me shouting through the walls!
Since then, I have come to realize that this is not merely a shout, but a roar from God’s heart to awaken us His children from passivity to activity, to become 'feeders' also rather than being singularly and perpetually fed, and to cause us to grow from childhood dependence to ‘sonship’ and ‘heirdom’. Seeing this desire fulfilled would fulfil His Word regarding the Body of Christ growing into "The measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ".

This is what Joel prophesied regarding the times we are in - Joel 2:1 – Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand
He describes His end-time army in Joel 2:7 thus - They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march EVERY ONE ON HIS WAYS, and they shall not break their ranks
Seeing that this is a great work, God has not left us without means to accomplish, for He said in verses 28 and 29, after calling his people to draw near with their hearts in Joel 2: 28 - And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
2:29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. (no spectators here!)

Out of this BethElRuach was born! – A forum primarily aimed at ministering to the needs of the Body of Christ so that no one lacks. As it were – your provision meets my need; my provision meets your need and so on…..

BethElRuach - House of God’s Spirit (literal translation)

BethEl: The place where Jacob first lay his head to sleep after his father had sent him out to accomplish the first step towards fulfilling the promise that God had given to Abraham i.e. finding a wife, and producing the heirs of promise. While he slept he dreamt and saw a ladder leading up to Heaven from the earth, with angels ascending and descending. Upon awakening he named the place that was called Luz, Bethel - House of God or Gate of Heaven; so also as we were once called sinners we are now God’s building (I Cor3:9b) and also the gateway through which others may get to know God.

Ruach: spirit, breath, wind – all words used to describe God's Spirit. In this context however, it does not merely mean air as in breath, but represents force of wind, invisible force or power that propels.
Let’s picture this: A jet ski though fast, is noisy, and dependent on it’s own engines fuel and may travel because of it’s limited fuel reservoir, a few miles at best before the fuel dissipates (sound familiar? Been there done, and sometimes still doing that) and it's journey is aborted.
In contrast; A yacht, gets to the free waters initially propelled by fuel (we must do something!), BUT when it catches the wind in it’s sails, it suddenly and silently begins to glide, cutting through the waters powerfully, expending not a joule of internally generated energy, traveling as far as the wind will carry…….

I Pet 4: 10, 11 states: As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

As BethElRuach, we are individually and collectively God’s 'yachts', propelled from within by Ruach – God’s Spirit who gives us force of wind to go wherever He wants us to go, and as far as He will take us, which with Him being without limits, releases us to a life without limits!

So I invite you. Come aboard share your gifts, your talents, a word of encouragement, a poem, a song, a miracle, a testimony, a prayer, a vision, a call…… We are BethElRuach......


EVERY MAN, A MINISTER!
