Luke 24:11
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.”
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.
