Foundational Pillars of my Faith, the Journey Begins
Introduction: My New Assignment
I have been assigned yet another task by Ruach Ha’Qodesh! I was praying, and it was revealed to me that I didn’t have a solid understanding of what I believed. Most of my beliefs were established when I was a child. These world views were chiefly from others and not my own. I am excited to include you in my journey as I discover the foundational pillars of my faith.
New Creation, New Understanding
As I journey along this path, I’ve learned new and exciting things from Mother, Ruach Ha’Qodesh, daily. I am a new creation in Yashua, as a result, my knowledge base is different now. Mother instructed me to revisit the scriptures based on my recent experiences. This is rather exciting as I set out on a new path of discovery. Father expects us to be able to rattle off what we believe, why we believe it, and where these beliefs came from. He expects me to know the foundational pillars of my faith.
Where to Start Finding the Pillars of My Faith
I asked Father where I should begin to establish the pillars of my faith. Mother whispered 1 Peter. This was very interesting to me, as I was in the middle of designing a Bible study based on the life of Peter. I had shelved this project for a season. It may be time to revisit the Peter Project. Kepha (Peter) has always held a special place in my heart. If I had been a boy, my name would have been Peter.
My Intentions
I intend to summarize what I read and express what I learned. This is not to be mistaken for absolute truth. I am simply showing you what I’ve learned. You should ask the Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha’Qodesh) for wisdom and truth. Let her teach you and help you learn. “But the anointing you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and is no lie, just as it has taught you, abide in him. “1 John 2:27
Side Note on The Ruach Ha’Qodesh
Just wanted to share with you why I call the Holy Spirit Mother. All renderings of the Holy Spirit in the Hebrew scriptures are feminine. I recently learned that when Jerome translated the Vulgate around 500 AD, He translated it from Greek. In Greek, the word for wind and Breath is a neutral word. So, they translated all the she and hers into a neuter form. Then, taking the neuter form of the word for wind and breath from Greek, Jerome translated it into the Latin word for wind and breath, into a masculine form.
Word Integrity Unimportant to Jerome
Now Jerome knew this, and he said it didn’t matter cuz he believed there is no male or female in the spirit. When the spirit was referred to as the Spirit of Truth or the Spirit of Wisdom, she and her are always used. Hmmmm; Makes me wonder why Jerome didn’t think it would matter to maintain the femininity of The Ruach Ha’Qodesh, but did maintain the femininity of the Spirit of Wisdom and Faith.
What is going on here?
The Question is why? Sure, it makes sense to me that we have a mother, a father, and a big brother. We are created in their image, so why wouldn’t Earthly families be based upon them as well? Do you see a pattern here? Everything the Word created was distorted and perverted by the serpent of old. Father is very protective of the Ruach Ha’Qodesh!! Never blaspheme her! Father be like, “You say what you like about me or my son, but keep your mouth shut when it comes to my woman”. Please consider these concepts and ask for help from the Holy Spirit for truth as you address this cognitive dissonance.
Feminine Characteristics
Also, remember that all the references to the character of the Holy Spirit display feminine qualities. For example, the Holy Spirit was given to us as a helper, Eve was taken out of Adam and given to him as a helper. The Holy Spirit nurtures us and reminds us to walk in obedience. My role as a mother was to nurture my children and teach them to obey. The similarities are endless.
Childhood Thoughts
Since I was a little girl, it seemed right that I had a heavenly Father, a heavenly Mother, and Big Brother Jesus. Who saved all his siblings from Hellfire and eternal separation from our amazing Family outside of time and space.
The Choice is Yours
The choice is ours to decide whether we want to accept this gift of salvation. Mother is there every step of the way to help us make wise choices full of truth if we let her. Without her, we wouldn’t have enough clarity to choose the narrow way of life. I am always open to loving discussions. If you have questions, by all means, ask me!
The First of many Foundational Pillars of my Faith
So now I can say that the Ruach Ha’Qodesh, as my mother is one of the pillars of my faith. I am thankful for the available information to research and find the truth. A big thank you goes out to Mother for helping me develop my faith and choice to walk in truth and wisdom with her help.
Now, Back to Kepha Chapter 1
Father chose us based on His foreknowledge. The Ruach Ha’Qodesh pushes us towards sanctification. She does this by helping us walk in obedience to Adonai Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, and embracing the covering or atoning of His shed blood.
Blessings, Glory, and Honor
I love how they often begin their letters with this beautiful blessing. Blessings to Elohiym (Father) of Adonai Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, who is merciful and hope-giving. This is only possible because of the resurrection of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach. We, as a result, gain an amazing inheritance that will not become corrupted or defiled. Our inheritance will never fade away. Everything in the earthly realm will wither. This inheritance is reserved for us in the Heavens.
Elohiym’s Great power keeps us safe and offers us salvation through faith.
We are to rejoice if we are experiencing trials of our faith. These may be full of temptations, but these trials are more precious than gold! They will bring about praise and honor. It will deepen our faith, show how much we are loved, and help us believe. When we resist and prevail over our trials, we will gain unspeakable joy, glory, and salvation of our souls.
When we have the continued assistance of the Ruach Ha’Qodesh, it signifies salvation and testifies to Yahusha. Without the Holy Spirit, truth will be obscure and difficult to comprehend.
These commands were mentioned in Kepha 1
- Gird up your mind
- Be Sober
- Hope for Grace
- Walk in obedience
- Turn away from former lusts
- Be holy in all your conversations
- Love one another with a pure and fervent heart
Basic Facts from Kepha Chapter 1
- Father judges us according to man’s work
- We must have faith and hope in Yahshua
- Truth (Ruach Ha’Qodesh) purifies our soul
- We are born again by the Word of Elohiym
The Word of Yahuah endures forever, yielding the Besorah (Good News)
Why does this matter? Cause the things of this world (realm) all fade away…
Flesh=Grass
Glory of man=Flowers of Grass
Grass withers and flowers fade away.
So, the flesh body of man will wither away, and the glory of man will fade away.
Nothing from this realm lasts!!
Praise be to Father for making a way for us to leave this realm and join with our family outside of time and space.
Well, that is what I learned from reading 1 Peter Chapter 1. After I finish the book of 1 Peter, I will organize the foundational pillars of my faith that I glean from 1 Peter. You will be the first to know!

Here’s a more detailed explanation:
- Latin Grammar:.Opens in new tabIn the Latin language, the word “spiritus” (meaning “spirit”) is a masculine noun.
- Vulgate Translation:.Opens in new tabJerome’s Vulgate translation, which became the standard Latin Bible in the Western Church, followed this grammatical rule.
- Linguistic Influence:.Opens in new tabThe masculine grammatical form of “spiritus” in Latin likely led to the use of masculine pronouns (“he,” “him”) to refer to the Holy Spirit in the translation.
- Impact on Theology:.Opens in new tabThis translation choice, while rooted in grammar, has had theological implications, influencing how the Holy Spirit is perceived in some Western traditions.
- Hebrew and Greek Alternatives:.Opens in new tabIn Hebrew (ruach), the word for “spirit” is feminine, and in Greek (pneuma), it is neuter. This highlights the contrast in how different languages treat the Holy Spirit’s gender.
