THE RHEMA

2 Timothy 3:16 reads, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man [human] of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

God breathed on man, inspiring man to write what God wanted him to write. These writings became the scriptures that we now read. They were originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek. Man translated the scriptures into the languages of today for better understanding.

The scriptures were given by God so mankind can come to know God personally. The written word is called the “logos” in Greek. It entails what God said to man corporately. Then, when we read the word and it speaks to our heart, it becomes the “rhema” or a specific revealed word from God. It speaks to our spirit personally. This is why we must read the word for ourselves to see what God is speaking to us individually.

When God gives us the rhema, or revelation of his written word, it is not always for someone else. It is a “personal” revelation to us individually. Often people receive a “rhema” word and think it is for everyone, but it isn’t.

By way of illustration, I may make a dinner that can feed a multitude, but it becomes personal when you are invited to dine with me. This is what God does. He wants to share the “rhema” with you, and not someone else. It is a personal, intimate time of fellowship with God.

Do you spend time reading the word? Do you then meditate on it to see what God is saying to you? If not, then you are missing out. God wants to speak to you himself, [rhema] and not have you get secondhand information. Why settle for someone else’s leftovers when God wants you to speak to you himself?

Study the word of God and you will not be disappointed. God will speak to you.
