Set-Apart
Cleansing and Purifying Spirit
The word Holy used in English bibles is
qodesh - "set apart, cleansing, and purifying." Something
that is qodesh is either "set apart from God or separated
unto God." The word Spirit in English
bibles is Qodesh
Ruach, or Set-Apart Spirit, is an example of the first. She
is part of Yahweh, set apart from Him to serve us. A sanctuary, like
the English bible word used Holy of Holies is the Set-Apart of
Set-Aparts an example of the latter. It is something separated from
the ordinary, from the profane and corrupt world surrounding it. Our
mortal bodies become qodesh/set apart in this way when they
are enveloped in Yahowah's Spirit.
Qodesh is from
qadash, which is a different vocalization of the same
consonants. Qadash means "to be prepared by being set apart,
being consecrated, and then becoming dedicated." In actuality,
consecration is really just a religious term conveying the idea of
"dedicating or devoting something or someone to a godly purpose."
This is what happens to us when we are immersed in the Qodesh
Ruach, The Set-Apart Cleansing and Purifying Spirit.
Yahweh's Set-Apart Spirit is our Adoptive Mother.
Those of us who are born anew from above, have Her to thank.
According to the Word, she covers us in a Garment of Light which
makes us appear perfect in Yahweh's eyes. She nurtures us, comforts
us, enlightens us, protects us, empowers us, and acts as our
advocate before God. The Set-Apart Spirit embodies every metaphor
associated with fire in Scripture and Her primary function is to
provide access to God.
Those who elect to form a relationship with God are
transformed a second time when they are born anew from above by our
Spiritual Mother. At this time they are covered in Her Garment of
Light, clothed, dressed, draped and covered completely. It makes us
look perfect in Yahweh's eyes. The Set-Apart Spirit also enlightens
us, nurtures us, empowers, and emboldens us.
