About us
Ruach Ministries is a ministerial association and missionary cooperation between Brazil, Portugal, Finland and United States. Located in Botucatu, Brazil, Ruach Ministries preaches the restoration of the Church of God. We believe there will be such an intense happening of God along with His church and we have to get ready for that. Where exactly are we in the prophetic time? What do we have to do? We have to find out how God is moving today and get in sync with Him.
Ruach is a Hebrew word that can be found in the Old Testament over four hundred times. It comes from a verb which meaning is “to breathe” or “to blow”. It can be translated as “breathing” or “wind”, and it matches the News Testament’s Greek term “pneuma”, which definition includes a wide spectrum of possible meanings – among them, in Acts 2:1-4, the manifestation of the Holy Ghost like a rushing mighty wind coming to make changes, deeply and radically transforming the Church.
"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." (Acts.2:1-4)
Word
For so long we have felt restless about the course of the Brazilian Church. Like it happens around the world, the desire of living according to the Holy Ghost has strongly grown in Brazil. There has been a pursuit of the power from above, a pursuit for a more powerful and living manifestation of the Holy Ghost in the midst of the Church, like in the apostolic days. This movement comes from God. Though we should know that before becoming an apostolic powerful Church, it should be a Church of an apostolic purity – the Church restored.
Have you ever seen how a furnace works? Its heat is deadly. There are tongues of fire, deliberately instigated by a mighty rushing wind that comes from great vents, blowing the flames until they reach the most intense point. The mighty rushing wind makes the furnace fire burn to the melting point, and everything inside turns to what is like a molten sea. Then, on the opposite sides of the furnace, the precious metal runs hot and it’s set apart from all the foulness.
“I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:11-12 “In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, and saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.” (Matthew 3:1-3)
The Holy Ghost is the Lord’s furnace for the refinement of His Church. It is through the mighty rushing wind from the Spirit that the fire burns and sets apart what is precious and what is vile; it is the Spirit’s fire that destroys the dross of sin to reveal the manifestation of the glorious blaze of the Church. The fire coming from this furnace was lit in the day of Pentecost, when the mighty rushing wind broke through the Cenacle, followed by the tongues of fire. There the Church shone brightly, to the incandescent furnace fire. The mighty rushing wind kept on blowing, the tongues of fire kept on burning, until the Church was made so pure and so holy that there was not a single person who would tell lies and not drop dead under the judgment of God – He could interfere and defend a pure and innocent people, and what was precious was set apart from what was vile. The Church could have kept the fire on, but it was left to fade out and blend with the dross. That made the Church weak, causing the loss of its identity. What a tragedy!
We have the same need today: to make the fire burn and blow like a mighty rushing wind. The Holy Ghost is the only one who can start to turn this situation around. There is good news: the sound of this wind has already been heard in different places of Brazil. Yes, it has started. There are genuine signs and a few points of a revival in our country. They are moving towards the “cenacle”. These people are those who weep and cry, restless because of the abominations found in the midst of a church which, spiritually, is going downhill. There’s a new core, like the one in Pentecost days. The anguish and misery inside of us leads us to pray, cry and invoke, amid tears and groans, the power from above. Be one of those who pray: “Blow that mighty wind again, Lord! Don’t wait too long!”, and soon the whole Church and the world will be before the fiery presence of God, like a furnace made for the last days. From the refining flames the remaining Church of God will rise, without any wrinkles or stains or similar thing.
