DAY 4 — MAY 11The Combination to the Safe

Imagine being handed the combination to a safe filled with everything you need — and walking past it every day without opening it, because you didn't realize it was in your name.

That's what Pastor Jose Boveda says is happening with most believers and the living Word of God. The promises are there. The inheritance is there. The combination has been given. But most of us are reading the safe's exterior and calling that Bible study.

John 17:8 — Jesus prays: "For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me." The same words the Father gave Jesus, Jesus passed directly to His disciples — and to every believer who came after. Not a summarized version. Not a simplified translation. The words. The actual substance behind them.

In Greek, there is a difference between logos and rhema. Logos is the written Word — complete, authoritative, true. Rhema is the living word — the specific, personal scripture that suddenly belongs to your exact situation. The verse that lifts off the page. The passage that God seems to be speaking directly into your week. That is the rhema. And that is what Jesus gave you access to when He passed on the words the Father gave Him.

Pastor Jose says it plainly: "What it says is mine. It's mine." The combination is open. Today's episode teaches you how to walk up to the safe and use it.
