In the beginning, God spoke and created life! This same God is still speaking today, and his Word is just as powerful. As believers, you were created to receive and release these freshly-spoken God words into the world. This kind of timely, faith infused word from God is called Rhema.
Speaking a faith-infused utterance from God unleashes Divine purposes. These powerful revelations are expected as you continue to recognize God’s voice and share His words.
Ed Delph and David Lake challenge you to upgrade your understanding and application of Rhema. First, learn to discern God’s will by receiving His words and understanding His purposes. Then, speak His message with clarity and conviction – declaring fresh messages from God for yourself and others.
Redefining Rhema will:
- Equip you to recognize and utilize spoken words from God that are personal or corporate.
- Position you to be a hear first and a speaker second.
- Empower you with wisdom in releasing God’s voice on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Watch God unleash His mighty word into your world today!

Endorsements:
Every day we are bombarded with thousands of marketing messages in the form of billboards, television, magazines, newspapers, and the internet. As the intensity of these words grows louder, we need to stop, listen, and hear the Rhema voice of God. If we do not clearly recognize God’s voice, then we are vulnerable and can easily be persuaded by each commentator who adds his or her voice. In this book, Ed Delph and David Lake help us rediscover and trust God’s Rhema before we say what we think. God still speaks to His children, and this is the time to know and not to merely think so that God’s voice can pierce the darkness.

God is smarter than we are, and the amazing thing is that He wants to share His thoughts with us! This is the basic premise of this incredible book that will help leaders tune in to the frequency of God’s voice as the fundamental building block to every great endeavor to which they may give their lives. Ed and David are two seasoned leaders in the kingdom who have masterfully brought an apostolic and prophetic vantage point on the ageless truth, presenting it in a fresh and relevant way to inspire the global church. Read it and live it!
