Every Breath
When I starting to read the bible Matthew 4: 4 , It was Eye Opening to me it, was as if Jesus was showing me How to live ,breath ,and work my Life ( Life – Force from my Daddy from my Father mouth)! In my study bible. (Word wealth box) it says word rhema ( hray-mah); Strong's #4487: That which is said or spoken , an utterance, in contrast to logos,which is the expression of a thought , a message , a discourse.Logos is the message ; rhema is the communication of the message . In reference to the Bible , logos is the Bible in its entirety;rhema is a verse from the bible . The meaning of rhema in distinction to logos is illustrated in Eph. 6:17 ,where the reference is not to the Scriptures as a whole , but to that portion which the believer wields as a sword in the time of need. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit , which is the word of God.
Man does not live on natural bread alone; he derives his breath and every life-force from the Word of God . . . from every Word that proceeds from God. In other words, whether realized or not, the words spoken or written by God preside over our lives and cause the fruit of those words to manifest in our lives. An absence of that divine fruit doesn’t mean there isn’t fruit; there is, only another kind of fruit.Matthew 4: 4!
If we fill our mind and heart with the word of God every day this is what we Become. The spirit in man draws from something all the time, imbibing of the spirit or spirits involved and thereby encouraged or quenched concerning God’s plan. Guard your heart and spirit-life; anything deposited in your heart today determines your future: The Word of God deposited in your heart quickens [makes alive, gives breath to] you, God's wisdom exposing every rival issue and force to the light of His eternal truth.
The Amplified Bible expresses it well, connecting our life’s breath and immortal spirit to God’s eternal Word:
"For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power
[making it active, operative, energizing, and effective;
it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow of the deepest part of our nature, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless
To the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do."
(Heb 4:12-13)
I hope this encourage you to see what we have from our Father , everything to live a life in our Lord! Proverbs 4: 23, Keep your heart with all diligence. For out of it spring the issues of life:
Job 32: 8; But there is a spirit in man , And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
Luke 21 : 15; “ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. 1 Thessalonians 5: 19 also read.
I hope this has encourage you to read your bible! every day!
Love in Christ ,
