💡 What is RHEMA?

RHEMA (ῥῆμα) is a Greek word meaning "a spoken word" or "utterance". In biblical context, it refers to a specific word from God that speaks directly to you in a particular moment - a timely, personal message that brings life and revelation.

"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (rhema) that proceeds from the mouth of God." — Matthew 4:4

This tool delivers God's rhema to you every 2 minutes - constant reminders of His Word throughout your day.
