"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 1:1 NKJV
Logos, is the Word of God - the written Word. Jesus is the Word. He was with God at the beginning, prior to creation and He was God. He always has been. People struggle with the Trinity, but quite simply, it is made up of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Three separate person's but all in one.
Logos is the written Word of God which we know as the bible. Within this Word, we will find all we need about the past, present and the future. It is all about the Trinity. The thing is, we can read the bible everyday, studying it until we can quote all the key verses, and that is good; but if that word is not in our hearts, this is all it is - head knowledge. We know everything about God and His Word but, we don't know Him in our hearts, and this is where the Rhema Word comes into play.
In the basics, Rhema is heart knowledge. The written Word - Logos, has become a living Word within us. Rhema is the communication of the logos message. Whereas Logos is the bible in its entirety, Rhema is a verse from the bible that has become an explosion of awareness within us.
We can become excited about what we read in the Logos Word but, it doesn't become a reality until it comes to life within us and this is Rhema. Rhema brings us the fire of God within us; it is one of the ways in which God communicates with us; one of the ways that He leads us forward, directing us to carry out tasks for Him. Rhema promotes a relationship with the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. It ignites the flame of God within us, the fire that we so long for.
Therefore, don't just read your bible, allow God to speak this Word into your heart. When you do this, you will never look back.
