John 17:8,
For I have given to them the words (rhema1) which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
Spirit words that are rhema come with authority from the Father, quickened by the Holy Spirit and are life and impart life. The word is the truth. He is the truth. This truth cuts like a double-edge sword in power dividing asunder soul and spirit, joint and marrow. It fulfills its purpose and sanctifies. It aligns its recipient by authentic relationship in spirit and truth. John 17:8 above, says, “they received them”, “and have known surely that (Jesus) I came forth from (the Father) You.”
Eph. 6:17,
And receive…the sword of the Spirit which (spirit) is the word of God.
John 6:63,
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 17:17,
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
And Jesus is the Word made flesh! John 1:14, Col. 3:16, 1 John 1:1. If we are being transformed2 by His grace and revelation of Him in us, Gal. 1:16, 4:19; Phil. 3:9, unto Word! Paul says from glory to glory.
