*TOPIC: RHEMA*

*TEXT: Eph 6:17-18*
_“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”_

*LESSONS*
We need be in possession of what is the thought and counsel of God on every matter for us to judicially operate on his behalf. This was the position Adam initially operated and functioned. He named all the animals and there was no need for correction. It was the exact thing that God wanted to do that he did. The thought and the reasoning of God was the mirror image of his mind.
Paul also said this in 1 Corinthians 2:16 that we have the mind of Christ. The Holy Spirit makes this to be fulfilled. He tells us the exact mind of God on any matter and we can function like His.

The renewing of our mind with the word of God brings us to this kind of alignment where the Spirit can do this work without hindrance. The cross dealt with the flesh so what we know, we will be able to do. The new creation is really perfect work. And it only manifests by the Spirit.

Rhema is an utterance. It is a greek word .That was what was called the sword of the Spirit in our text above. As it implies,a sword cuts, hence, it cuts. When you are praying on a matter and an utterance comes, that is the solution. It was also used in John 6:63 where it was referred to as spirit and life. Note: small “s”. Rhema brings life and vitality into our spirit. It is the very word for the moment. So,when it comes, the depressed spirit that is confused and not knowing what to do will receive life and light immediately. Believe in rhema and you will see victory manifesting consistently.

What has God said by utterance on the matter that is bothering your mind this morning?Believe in that word and you will see the Victory of the Lord. Rhema brings life. There is no need to be discouraged. God in action is the rhema spoken. Active and working ,so you just take the victory and worship God. It is real. Many have not been able to consistently walk in victory because they missed rhema when it comes. Divine guidance has been obscure to them because they miss this powerful tool. Why groan in darkness when the Spirit is ready to bring the word of the moment that can change things? The Spirit is a speaking Spirit. You must however be loaded with logos to operate effectively in rhema.

I believe someone is remembering the word God has spoken and walking in the answers it has brought from this moment on. His promises are yea and amen in Christ. Halleluyah.

*PRAYER ALERT*
1. Father ,I thank you for the rhema that is always available by the Spirit( Ephesian 6:17)
2. I receive the remembrance of the utterances that lack of faith has rendered powerless without fulfillment( 2Corithian 1:20)
