Faith Has To Be Real To You


Faith always works.  It is working right now in this world, but it has to be real to me.  My faith can only produce what I believe in.  It cannot produce what some one else believes in.  Faith is the substance.  What substance are you on?  Lets say our fellow brother or sister in Christ is believing for a new job.  Their faith only works to the extent that it is real to them.  Then their faith does not mean that it is manifest in our lives.  I have to believe in the faith that I have.  I have to make the promises of God real in my own life.

Here is a good way to put how the word is working in our lives.

Jo
hn 1:1 is the Logos word of God.  The written Word. We need the written word and it has great power to build us up in our thinking and to let us know the promises of God.  But there is a power that works along side the Logos.

Ephesians 6:17 is the Rhema Word of God.  It is the spoken word of God.  The real power comes when the logos word becomes the rhema word.  There is power in the logos but not with in us, as far as words go.  The power comes when the word is spoken.  There is great power when we speak the word of God.  When the logos is real to us it becomes the rhema because it is real and we believe in it.  There for we speak the word.  God speaks the rhema into us if we are listening, but we two speak the rhema word when we speak with boldness and with full confidence, the Word of God.

The logos is the seed planted inside of us.
The rhema is the power of God spoken.

Decide to not only get the logos planted inside, but get the rhema word spoken.  Use the power that god has given us.
