More rhema

Today, at lunch I asked the Lord, “Where Lord?” (where in Your word do you want me to read?) I felt led to read Colossians chapter 3. Did some due diligence on the word. Then I left to my car and “Bam!” rhema word came into my inner man, Eph. 3:16. I am reminded of Heb. 4:12. His word is quick and powerful. Living and active. It is alive. When I received the word it compounded with other word, Heb. 4:2; Isa. 28:10. This compounding process reminds of the function of the living capillaries in the human body reaching out transferring oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. When they attach to the organ they are attaching to it grows and is supplied. On top of this, who tells the capillaries to do this? They are alive and are compelled to impart life according to design and function of the Designer. How much more the quickened living Word of God? I remember older blogs on hope and faith. I see that hope is not an emotional thing, but my soul partakes of the hope diffused to my eternal spirit by the Holy Spirit unveiling His will and word. His word is His will. Hope is an anchor for the _____? For the soul, Heb. 6:19. His quickened word is behind the veil. Paul said, “A veil is over their hearts (Israelites), 2 Cor. 3:15. He tore the veil which is now His flesh. And now, we are members of His flesh and bones, Eph. 5:30, 3:6; John 1:14. Hope is laid up in eternity. It is brought through rhema word. When He speaks His word as He did to Abraham, Gen. 15:4-6, His faith “IS” also (incorrect grammar, but correct meaning.) Abraham partook of His faith which hope predicate and hinges on. How else could he go to a land promised and not know where he was going? Yes, he had faith, but hope also. And hope does not disappoint us or make us ashamed if it is derived from rhema word, 1 Thess. 1:3. Before the Pentateuch, Abraham was compelled by something much larger than even his own self-expectations pushing him out in faith because of its reality. Faith, hope and love remain and are real and encapsulated in the spoken rhema from Him towards them who believe, Eph. 3:20.
