The Sent Word


 

 


THE SENT WORD



“He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” (Ps107:20)

 

 

There are two main Greek words translated “word” in the Bible:

 

1.  RHEMA – “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of God.” (Rom10:17)

 It means:  to utter, or simply open the mouth. 

 

2.  LOGOS -  “ In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.” (Jn1:1)

 

I was always taught that this “WORD” was the Bible… or written scripture. 

 

BUT…    It does not mean to write. 

 

LOGOS means:  A spoken discourse… 

     …INCLUDING:

THE VERY THOUGHT, INTENT, PURPOSE AND MOTIVE BEHIND WHAT IS SPOKEN

 

THAT was what was there from the beginning…

THAT “was made flesh and dwelt among us… the only begotten of the Father.” (Jn1:14)

 

Christ is the very thought, intent, purpose and motive behind everything the Father does…

…THAT is why He could say, “…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father”. (Jn14:9-11)

 

He is the “express image” (Greek “charakter”) of the Father (Heb1:3)

 

In the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament) Psalm 107:20 starts, “Apostello ho logos”…

“HE SENT HIS LOGOS!”

… AND HEALED US!

…and Delivered us from our destructions!

 

[Delivered: To rush or flow as a current to rescue or deliver FOR ONE’S SELF!]

 

 

Yahweh, God doesn’t have a RHEMA (utterance) without LOGOS (thought, intent, purpose, motive) BEHIND IT!

 

“So will my WORD (rhema) be that goes out of my mouth: 

it shall not return to me empty… 

     without accomplishing what I DESIRE…

     without succeeding in the PURPOSE for which I sent it.” (Isa55:11)

 

 

Psalm 107 displays the Old Covenant life cycle.  

1)     Yahweh’s goodness demonstrated.

2)     people reject Him and rebel.

3)     They go into affliction or captivity. 

4)     they cry out to Him.

5)     He restores them because of His goodness.

 

 

…Wash,

Rinse…

…repeat

 

 

“…I know the THOUGHTS that I THINK toward you, saith the LORD, 

THOUGHTS of peace, and not of evil, 

to give you an EXPECTED END.” (Jer29:11)

 

HIS INTENT:  AN EXPECTED END!

Through Christ Jesus… THE LOGOS… 

…TO END THE CYCLE. 

 

 

HE SENT HIS WORD…

 

 

“IT IS FINISHED!”

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

Image
LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
