Jan. 20th - Revelation

What comes to mind when you think about "revelation"? The end times? The anti christ? The judgment of God? The Tribulation? The mark of the beast? I remember as a young boy going to church and watching a movie about all that. It really scared me! The image of a falling guillotine is still permanently emblazoned on my memory!
But rest at ease this Saturday morning. My thoughts on "revelation" have to do with spiritual insight. When you read the writings of Paul, you'll discover he...
Spoke by revelation
Traveled by revelation
Learned by revelation
He lived his life walking in the revelation of God for his life. We have it a bit easier than he did. We have the Word of God which is God's revelation to us. The "logos" or written word is "inspired" by God and has the ability to...
Teach us
Direct us
Heal us
Free us
Empower us
Etc...
If all we had was the "Logos" we could successfully fulfill God's plan and purpose; however, we have more. We have the "Rhema" or spoken word of God available to us as well. The "Rhema" will never contradict but only compliment the "Logos". They work together to confirm and complete you.
God wants to speak to each of us every day. We need His "Logos" and His "Rhema" .
Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but happy is he who keeps the law." We see them both operating within this verse.
We need them both.

Meet you in the Morning,
Sam
