Luke 4:4 (KJV)

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

The above verse shows us the Lord Jesus’ response to one of Satan’s temptations and gives us perfect insight into how the Word of God can be applicable in our lives. When He says man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word of God, He was not referring to the logos of God but the rhema!

The logos is the Word of God that encapsulates His thoughts, plans, purpose, character, and personality, but rhema is a spoken and active word from God to a specific person for a specific purpose at a particular time! A rhema word has the power to rebuild you in your time of need; this is why the prophetic is extremely important. When you receive a rhema word from God, it blesses you because it's exactly what you need at that moment.

For example, you may be experiencing hardships in your life, and suddenly, you receive a word from the Lord saying, “Lo, I am with you always.” This verse was penned centuries ago, yet it becomes rhema when the Holy Spirit brings it to you concerning whatever your situation may be!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

As I meditate on God’s Word, His Spirit is bringing a spoken and active word to me for my present situation! Rhema is rebuilding my life! Amen.
