But he answered, “It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every wird that proceeds out of the mouth of God” – Matthew 4:4
A Rhema word from God is a word that is personally communicated to a believer you hear in your spirit.
A Rhema word from God will certainly change the course of the circumstances in your life. You cannot hear from God and remain the same. One of the reasons why we sometimes do not get results is because we take actions without hearing from God. It is one thing to have faith, but another when you act in response to hearing a word from God on an issue.
God designed man to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord. God’s voice and the word it brings gets rid of fear and confusion. You cannot hear from God and be confused.
Starting your day with a Word from God is why a healthy devotional life is important. It puts you in a spot to hear God before you start your day.
God has given us the complete revelation of Himself in His Son Jesus, which has been parceled and given to us in the Bible. This complete revelation of God is what is called the “Logos.” Behind every scripture in the Bible is the voice of God. This is important to understand. The Holy Spirit makes us hear God’s voice in the scriptures as it applies in specific circumstances. This is the Rhema Word. We can also hear the voice of the Holy Spirit directly and audibly.
The revelation of the written word in your spirit we call “inspiration” is actually the voice of the Spirit speaking into your spirit person to teach or reveal something to you at the moment. Jesus said of the Spirit,
“But when he, the Spirit of truth comes, He will not speak on his own, he will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is yet to come” – John 16-13
Something happens inside of you when you receive this Rhema eord from the Holy Spirit. It automatically generates faith. Fear quits. “You know that you know, that it is true. It’s not some strange revelation.
Many are not aware of what they have sitting somewhere on their tables or on their shelves called the Bible. It is God’s Word -yes, literally God’s Word. It has Rhema in it for you every day. When you learn to stay with the written Word and allow the Holy Spirit to speak into your spirit person as he teaches you from the scriptures.
When we meditate on the scriptures we position ourselves in such a way that the Spirit can speak through the scriptures and bring the Rhema word to us.
When we pray and ask the Holy Spirit to make God’s Word in the Bible come alive to us. We will begin to understand who God is.
When we learn to sit at the feet of Jesus to hear His Word, He speaks to us in revelation and inspiration and brings a Rhema word and something will happen inside of you.
