Has anyone ever told you that God talked to them? Better yet did someone tell you God told them to tell you something? If this has happened you probably wondered in your head that person is nuts to put it kindly. God does speak through the Holy Spirit and to hear Him speak you must be in tune with the Holy Spirit. Some of you may already know this, but for the ones of you that don’t you maybe wondering how to get in tune with the Holy Spirit.. First you need to know how God talk and to find that out you need to read your Bible. 2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work”. So to know what our Creator wants from us we have to read the Bible. So now I want to introduce you to a word some of you know and some of you don’t and the word is rhema (rey-ma). Rhema is a verse or a portion of scripture that the Holy Spirit brings to our attention with application to a current situation or need for direction. So if you read your Bible everyday, praying first for God to speak to your heart, God will talk to you everyday. The rhema may come through a sermon, reading other godly material, through other people of God and so on. Have you ever heard someone preaching and the stuff they are talking about is going on in your life and you start wondering did someone tell them about me. Pay close attention because that’s God speaking through that person to give you the solution to your situation. Before I go any further I want to repeat YOU HAVE TO READ YOUR BIBLE because what is said has to line up with the word of God. This rhema or word from God usually comes with conformation meaning its going to be backed up by another source. For example you could have read or heard something and in that same day or some time later you hear it repeated. If this happens and it line up with the word of God do it because that’s God. 2 Corinthians 13:1 says, “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.” In all of this be careful especially when somebody tells you God told me to tell you something because everyone that uses God’s name don’t have good intentions, they may be trying to control you. Make sure it all line up with God’s word and the only way to know that is to study your Bible daily. Remember what I said about confirmation or everything being backed up. Some of you may be wondering what Bible to read and I say read the translation you can understand. Some people may not agree and may tell you to read only the King James version and there is nothing wrong with that if you can understand it. Some of you may get frustrated starting there that’s why I say start out with something like the NIV translation and later on you can move to the King James as you learn. Like I said this is my opinion. Pray to God for peace about this. I wanted to introduce you to this word rhema because I needed to let you know God speaks and He is constantly trying to have a relationship with you. He’s like a loving father telling you exactly what to do so you will have a successful life. Please read your Bible. If you are not saved you don’t have access to God’s promises. If you want Jesus to come into your life so you can, please pray this prayer right now: Father in the name of Jesus, I come unto You just as I am. I am a sinner Lord. I have sinned against you and against heaven. I ask you, Lord Jesus, to forgive me and come into my heart and save my soul. Let me be born again by the Spirit of the living God. I give my life to You Lord Jesus. I do believe you are the Son of God. I give You thanks, praise and honor for redeeming me by your precious blood.

 Now start reading your Bible and attending church regularly and let the Holy Spirit be Your guide. Keep looking up!
