Armor of God: Helmet of Salvation - Pastor Randy Rasmussen

It is that word that is quickened in your spirit, a specific word for the exact moment that you are in, for the exact season, for the exact whatever it is, the opposition that you're facing. When fear is creeping in, the Holy Spirit will quicken a word in your spirit if you have the logos deposited within you. When I say supernaturally quickened, I mean it's a word that is like dropped in your heart by the Holy Spirit. [00:47:23] (37 seconds)  #QuickenedInSpirit

The word that he dropped in my spirit was this. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord raises a standard against him. That verse, I haven't read that verse. I don't know how many years it's been since I read that verse. But the Holy Spirit quickened it within me. That's a rhema word. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord raises a standard against him. Which means that the spirit of the Lord, he ushers him with authority out of your situation.

The Bible says, knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Seek God. We need these prophetic words for the moment that we are in, the moment that we are facing. And I say prophetic because really for me, in the simplest definition of what I would describe prophetic as, is simply the right thing at the right time. That's prophetic. So a rhema is the right word at the right time. It's a truth from the truth for that particular moment that you are in. [00:50:34] (40 seconds)  #RightWordRightTime

You can have the logos, the written word of God. You can have the logos without rhema. Because if you are not led by the Holy Spirit, if you are not sensitive to the Holy Spirit, you can have the logos. The logos can exist without any rhema. But you cannot have rhema apart from the logos. Does that make sense? So what does that mean then for us? That means that the logos has to be deposited within you. [00:51:17] (46 seconds)  #DepositTheLogos

Maybe something that you just read the day before or the week before. Maybe you read it in a time, in a morning where it's like, man, I didn't really feel like I got anything from my reading this morning. Oh, but you're depositing the logos in you. And because the logos is deposited within you, now the Holy Spirit can bring forth that rhema word for that moment. Maybe it's something you read years ago or studied years ago. Something that you wouldn't even think you remembered. [00:54:28] (29 seconds)  #StoredWordRevealed

And when that type of word comes forth, it will speak directly to you. And it will feel like God is talking to you because he is. He is speaking directly to you. But the amazing thing is, there could be the majority of people that feel the exact same thing. Even though we may be going through different things in our life, because the word of God is so alive. When a rhema word goes forth and it hits you right where it needs to, you just say, like, Lord, I'm listening. This is directly from God. Lord, and I receive this word.

``Whenever you find yourself in a desert, in a desert season, ask yourself this. Is this an Israelite desert that I'm in, or is this a Jesus desert that I'm in? Because here's the thing. Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. It was necessary. He had to go out there. He had to be in the wilderness. He had to be in the desert. He had to be tempted. He had to go through what he had to go through because of everything that he was about to go through. [01:08:26] (30 seconds)  #DesertWithPurpose

The rhema, the word of God, is the antidote. It is the sword that the spirit puts in your hand. It is your offense. It is your defense. It blocks the lies of the enemy. And gives you that offensive weapon to fling back at him so you can press forward in battle. See everything else defensively it's meant so that we can stand our ground. And really that's what it's saying in Ephesians. Stand your ground. Stand your ground. Stand your ground. But at the very end it tells us how we can actually begin to gain ground.
