Personalize The Word of God

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 6:63).

The word used by Jesus for “words” in our opening verse is the Greek word “Rhema” which is God’s Word for you; His personal Word to you in the NOW! It’s a definite word to a definite person, for a definite purpose and at a definite time.

Notice Jesus didn’t say, “The words I speak to everybody, they are spirit and they are life”; He’s very specific; He says “the words that I speak unto YOU!” He’s talking to you.

There’s something exciting about how God deals with His children; He relates with you uniquely and individually as though you’re the only one on the face of the earth. So when you hear or study His Word, personalize it, for He’s talking to YOU.

The Greek word is “Katalambano” which means “to take hold of something and make it personal to you”; “to arrest and take possession of!” So when you hear God’s Word, “Katalambano” it. That’s exactly what God wants us to do with His Word.

When His Word comes to you, don’t say, “He’s talking to us.” No! He’s talking to YOU! Apprehend and personalize that Word.

Jesus said in (John 15:7), “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” When you personalize the Word and make it yours, then you can ask anything you want, and even if it doesn’t exist, it’ll be created for you! Glory to God!

Now I can gladly say that the Lord is my shield, my glory and the lifter of my head (Psalm 3:3). The Lord is my light and salvation, I do not fear. The Lordy is the strength of my life (Psalm 27:1). The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower (Psalms 18:2). Blessed be God!
