Rhema word strongs
“An utterance (individually, collectively, or especially) by implication, a matter or topic (especially of narration, command or dispute) a saying, word.” (#4487) Strong’s Dictionary defines it like this: Rhema (hray’-mah), on the other hand, refers to any spoken word. “…That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, signifying by what death He would die.” (my addition) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (my addition) There are over 300 examples of logos in the Bible. Logos refers to the written form of holy Scripture and sometimes to Jesus Himself. Two Greek words translate as “word” in the English language-logos and rhema. Let’s explore how God does this and perhaps discover what His rhema word is for you. Simply put, it’s one way God talks to us, even how He talks to us personally one-on-one. If you’re not familiar with rhema, don’t worry. God uses two different forms of communication to do this. But I’m talking about its word, what it’s trying to say to us. Maybe you’ve done this.ĭid you know the Bible also has a “word?” Ok, yes, I know it’s THE word, the holy word of God. What you do is you choose a word that describes your “why” and what your intentions of the year will be. A popular way many people set goals is by centering them around a specific word. Welcome to a brand-new year! What a great time to start fresh with new goals and new ideas. “So, then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 May we respond in faith like Mary did, “Be it … according to thy word. The takeaway is this: When God gives you His specific word through the Spirit making a promise of God come alive to your heart-believe it-for with God no rhema shall be impossible! It is in the realm of God’s specific word-no rhema shall be impossible with God. The idea of nothing being impossible with God is not in the realm of how many angels God can put on the head of a pin and other such nonsense. The point in this account is that no rhema-no specific word from God-is impossible! The foundation of faith is God’s specific word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Rom. The angel said literally, “For with God no rhema shall be impossible.” A rhema is a specific word of God, whereas the term logos often refers to the entire Word of God. More amazing words were spoken, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” To let Mary know that God was on the move with miracles in the realm of seemingly impossible births, the angel continued, “And, behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age : and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.”įollowing these multiple promises from God, Gabriel confirmed, “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” But we must understand the nothing. Mary responded believing, but asked how this would take place since she was not yet married. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign … and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Stunning pronouncement-Mary will give birth to the long-awaited Messiah! And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. The angel said, “Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women … thou hast found favor with God. The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and spoke to her many amazing words. The context is part of the Christmas account as related by Luke (Luke 1:26-38). Certainly, this is a wonderful promise! But understanding the context and specific nature of this promise makes it even more blessed. Many are quite familiar with the verse, “For with God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37).
