Rhema means: “spoken word”. We are to live from God's spoken words to us. Rhema is God's Fountain of Living Waters (Jer. 2:13), His River that flows from His throne, through our hearts and out into every faculty we yield to His flow. Rhema precipates the release of God's anointing.
Twelve awesome benefits concerning God’s voice/rhema (Gal. 5:25)

The promise concerning the power of God’s spoken words
- "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. (Isa. 55:10-11)
- Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it." (Jer. 1:12)
It shines brighter and brighter as we walk His highway of holiness
- But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until the full day. My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them and health to all their body. Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. (Prov. 4:18-23)
- We have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. (2 Pet. 1:19)
Personal Journaling Application
Hearing God's voice is as simple as: 1) quieting myself down (Ps. 62:5), 2) beholding Jesus at my right hand (Acts 2:25), 3) asking for His input and tuning in to flowing thoughts and flowing pictures (Jn. 7:37-39), and 4) journaling out His words and visions (Rev. 1:9-11). These are then tested, and they must line up with Scripture (Ps. 1:2) and be affirmed in the hearts of my spiritual advisors (2 Cor. 13:1).
- Lord, what would You speak to me concerning living from Your spoken words in my heart?
