Rhema is Running all over – Just Read the Word

In the older Charismatic circles, believers were convinced that they had to wait for a movement of the Holy Spirit into their specific situation before they could “Receive” a Word from the Lord.

If we ask for Wisdom - anytime, in faith, we will receive it:

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

"But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

"For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." (James 1: 5-8)

Believers do not have to worry about being doubled-minded, as long as their keep the eyes of their understanding (Ephesians 1: 18) on Jesus seated at the right hand of the Father (Colossians 3: 1-3):

"For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2: 16)

In fact, we have not just the mind of Christ, but Christ Himself, who is made to us wisdom (1 Corinthians 1: 30), and through His Holy Spirit dwelling in us, we have all knowledge (1 John 2: 20, 27)

Whereas in Proverbs, Solomon told us to seek wisdom, for the believer, we have received Him, and now He lives in us by faith. Christ has been made for us wisdom, that is the first thing.

God's Logos-Word lives in us already:

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." (Colossians 3: 16)

As our minds are renewed to the truth of God’s Word (Romans 12: 2; Ephesians 4: 23), we receive fresh revelation from the Holy Spirit for every situation that we face in our lives:

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." (John 16: 13)

 The rhema is God’s Word made relevant and present to us in our circumstances, which we receive through His Spirit.

 No greater movement of the Holy Spirit is needed to make the word real to us than our reading and receiving His word in our lives, for God Himself has promised:

"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."" (Isaiah 55: 11)

and

"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)

His Words are spirit and life, and through the Holy Spirit, when we ask for wisdom in faith, we can know and believe that God's eternal Logos will be transformed into specific rhema to inform us as to what to do or say in any situation.
