2023 TEENS VOLUME RHAPSODY OF REALITIES – MESSAGE.
The Word of God is a sword; it’s an offensive weapon for spiritual warfare. Notice that Paul didn’t ask that you thrust or strike the enemy with a physical copy of the Bible as you would a physical sword, no! The Greek rendering for “word” in this verse is “Rhema,” and it means the spoken Word. “Rhema” is a specific Word at a specific time for a specific purpose.
Thus, the “Rhema” of God is the Word of God from your heart to your mouth—the inspired Word that comes out of your mouth. In the Master’s encounter with the devil, the Bible tells us, “Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” (Luke 4:4). Again, the underlined word is translated “Rhema” (Greek).
The Lord Jesus, in speaking “Rhema,” wielded the sword of the Spirit (the weapon of the spoken word) and discomfited the devil. God’s “Rhema” word isn’t just a word that’s kept in your heart; rather, it’s inspired by God and comes out of your mouth. It’s always a word said or a word being said, Hallelujah! Always put the Word on your lips; until it comes out of your mouth, it’s not yet a sword or weapon.
51 ONE YEAR TWO YEAR Just as the “rhema” word is a weapon with which you get on the offensive against the adversary, your faith is a weapon, a shield against the adversary and his onslaught: “Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.” You don’t have to look around for a shield called faith; faith is in your spirit.
You were born again with the measure of faith you require (Romans 12:3) to live victoriously and reign gloriously in life. All you need to do is grow it by hearing more of God’s Word and strengthen it by using it.
That faith neutralises, quenches, defuses, and puts out all the fiery darts the enemy throws at you. Your faith is the victory over all circumstances and adversities of life: “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith” (1 John 5:4). Hallelujah!

PRAY
Dear Father, your Word is in my heart and in my mouth, prevailing as I speak it forth! I speak forth righteousness, wisdom, prosperity, victory, and abundance.
