Me: Is that a message for me Prodigal?
Prodigal: Yep, It has been serious and busy. We need to factor in fun time!
Me: Well start thinking of what you want to do and I will share with you what I have been reading?
James P. Gills, M.D. writes in his book Overcoming Spiritual Blindness
You receive a logos from God’s Word. Logos is a Greek word referring to a concept or idea. We learn by receiving a logos, or godly idea, which may teach us a general principle for living a godly life. A person seeking wisdom and faith will try to apply that principle to his own life.
In contrast, when one’s heart is entirely open to God and His voice, revelation through rhems–a living Word from the Spirit that gives us spiritual understanding–can be detected even above the din of life in the world. A rhema gives us instruction in a specific godly principle with a specific application. Once the heart is receptive to the Spirit’s rhema, God speaks to us personally—our needs, questions, and fears–from His Word. While it is an experience that is individual and therefore difficult to explain or express, it comes as a result of being immersed in God, and growing as new creations in Christ.
Isaiah 30:27
Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire;
