Question: What does the word "rhema" mean?

Answer: The word "rhema" is a Greek word which simply means "the spoken word." In recent times, many ministers have enlarged the definition, using the word "rhema" to mean "the spoken word of God" or "the God-breathed word," or a "spiritually enlightened understanding of the Word of God." It is often used to differentiate between a spiritual and natural understanding of God's Word.
