Rhapsody of Realities 28may 2010

The document discusses personalizing God's word. It explains that "rhema" refers to God's personal word for an individual at a specific time. When studying scripture, one should view it as God speaking directly to them. Making the word personal involves "arresting" it and allowing it to dwell within you. When the word is personalized in this way, one can ask God anything according to his will and it shall be done. The document encourages the reader to receive God's rhema word for them and allow it to transform their life.

Personalize The Word!


PASTOR
CHRIS

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the


words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life
(John 6:63).

T he word used by Jesus for “words” in our opening


verse is the Greek word “rhema.” He said, “… the
rhema that I speak UNTO YOU, they are spirit and they are
life.” “Rhema” is God’s Word for you; His personal Word
to you in the NOW! It’s a definite word to a definite person,
for a definite purpose and at a definite time. Notice Jesus
didn’t say, “The words I speak to everybody, they are spirit
and they are life”; He’s very specific; He says “the words
that I speak unto YOU!” He’s talking to you.
There’s something exciting and beautiful about how
God deals with His children; He relates with you uniquely
and specifically as though you’re the only one on the face
of the earth. So when you hear or study His Word,
especially in the Epistles, personalize it, for He’s talking to
you. The Greek word is “katalambano” which means “to
take hold of something and make it personal to you”; “to
arrest and take possession of!” So when you hear God’s
Word, arrest and take possession of it; apprehend it and
make it yours; take a hold of it and make it personal to
you! That’s exactly what God wants us to do with His
Word.
When His Word comes to you, don’t say, “He’s
talking to us.” No! He’s talking to YOU! Apprehend and
personalize that Word. Jesus said something powerful
about this in John 15:7, that once you’ve apprehended
His Word, that is, taken a hold of it and allowed it to dwell
in you, you can ask what you will and it shall be done
unto you: “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”
What Jesus is saying here is that when you personalize
the Word and make it yours, then you can ask anything
you want, and even if it doesn’t exist, it’ll be created for
you! Glory to God!

Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for your Word that
dwells richly in my heart and for its power to produce
a transformation in my life! Thank you for the rhema-
word you have for me today, my heart and mind are
open to receive that personal Word of power, victory
and triumph; that Word that puts me over and causes
me to excel in everything I lay my hands to do today,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
