The Revealed Word of God

In the Bible, God uses his Word in two different ways which are known in the Greek as the logos and the rhema.. Logos is the form in which most of us are most familiar with, it is the general or written word of God from Genesis to Revelations. Rhema is the revealed Word of God.

It is through the rhema where revelation regarding something specific in your life is revealed through a specific scripture or set of scriptures. Our issue in the body of Christ is that we get ourselves in situations and the answer is in Gods rhema word, but we are unable to receive it because we barely know His written word. The rhema word is spoken to ones heart, and the only way that it can be received is by having His written word in our hearts to begin with.

We must get the written word in our hearts not only by reading it, but through meditation, that means muttering it over and over, musing it, letting it soak into us. By doing this the Word becomes a part of you, and eventually it will be like a light bulb goes on within and you have an “ahh ha” moment when the word becomes alive and you unlock the meaning within and receive rhema.

Let’s take the story of Elisha and his servant in 2 Kings 6:14-17

14 Then the king sent horses, chariots, and many troops to Dothan. They arrived at night and surrounded the city. 15 Elisha's servant got up early, and when he went out, he saw an army with horses and chariots all around the city. The servant said to Elisha, "Oh, my master, what can we do?" 16 Elisha said, "Don't be afraid. The army that fights for us is larger than the one against us." 17 Then Elisha prayed, "LORD, open my servant's eyes, and let him see." The LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

I’m sure the servant knew about angels, and knew about the protection of God, for he was a man of God, but that knowledge came alive to Him when God opened up his spiritual eyes and he could really see that which he already knew to be true. It is the same way with us when we receive the rhema, it is like our eyes open up and we can see the way this young man saw.

God desire for us is to see the Kingdom of God. He desires for us to see that which He has placed in His Word is alive and in operation all around us. But for us to be able to truly see the Kingdom of God we must have the rhema, we must put on our Kingdom contact lenses so that it all will become clear.

We pray this has been a blessing on your life.
