Luke 18:34
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.”
ῥῆμα
Not logos — the written word — but rhema, the word spoken in the moment. The angel says to Mary: no rhema from God shall be without power. Every specific word God speaks into your situation carries the ability to accomplish itself. He does not speak empty words.
