Or, a thief could claim, "thou shalt not steal" was not 'rhema to them' etc." In my own experience many things in Gods word didnt become Rhema to me until after I obeyed & received the promise.Īs I was discussing this with a friend of mine, I believe that it was the Lord which spoke to me and said, "If its true what they say about the "Rhema" word, then when a murderer stands before me at judgement, they could just claim that "thou shalt not kill" had not yet become rhema to them". All I need to do is obey & give & God will do His part "cause men to give to my bosom".Īlthough it is important for the word to be quickened to us, it is not necessary for faith to come. Luke 6:38- "Give and it shall be given." doesnt have to "leap off the pages" to me in order for me to obey and receive its promise. The Rhema can come afterwards when the promises are received.Įx. I dont have to understand Gods word to obey it & receive its promise.
I believe that God rewards us according to our obedience to His word with or without a Rhema.
Thank God we can understand somethings, but we dont have to wait to understand to receive of them. This verse alone shows we dont have to have a "Rhema word". I am choosing to "lean not to my own understanding" but acknowledge Him. If I just begin to say what God says about my body, finances, etc. To believesomething, is a decision we make, not a feeling we experience. However the excess teaching about the rhema word is that it is mandatory for the word to be rhema to you in order for faith to come or to receive its promise.Įxample: With the Rhema word teaching, it would be taught that until tithing becomes "rhema" to me (or becomes revelation), the windows of heaven wont be opened to me, neither would "with His stripes you are healed" bring healing to me unless it was "rhema" to me. I think its great when the words seem to "leap off the pages" of the bible when I read them, or the Spirit "quickens" a verse to my heart, when it is "made alive" to me, etc.
Mabye its just the Pastor/Teacher in me but I feel its is necessary to address the excesses that have been taught in the body of Christ concerning the "Rhema word". I cut my teeth on Hagin, Copeland & Capps. First of all I want you to know that I am full fledged Word of Faith.
