What does the Blue Letter Bible have on the word Rhema?

Vine's expository dictionary concerning the Greek word Rhema

Word:

denotes "that which is spoken, what is uttered in speech or writing;" in the singular, "a word," e.g., Mat 12:36; 27:14; 2Cr 12:4; 13:1; Hbr 12:19; in the plural, speech, discourse, e.g., Jhn 3:34; 8:20; Act 2:14; 6:11, 13; 11:14; 13:42; 26:25; Rom 10:18; 2Pe 3:2; Jud 1:17; it is used of the Gospel in Rom 10:8 (twice), Rom 10:17, RV, "the word of Christ" (i.e., the "word" which preaches Christ); Rom 10:18; 1Pe 1:25 (twice); of a statement, command, instruction, e.g., Mat 26:75; Luk 1:37, RV, "(no) word (from God shall be void of power);" Luk 1:38; Act 11:16; Hbr 11:3.
The significance of rhema (as distinct from logos) is exemplified in the injunction to take "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God," Eph 6:17; here the reference is not to the whole Bible as such, but to the individual scripture which the Spirit brings to our remembrance for use in time of need, a prerequisite being the regular storing of the mind with Scripture.

The KJV translates Strong's G4487 in the following manner: word (56x), saying (9x), thing (3x), no thing (with G3756) (1x), not translated (1x).

Strong's definition -- ῥῆμα rhēma, hray'-mah; from G4483; an utterance (individually, collectively or specially),; by implication, a matter or topic (especially of narration, command or dispute); with a negative naught whatever:—+ evil, + nothing, saying, word.

Hi Wendell. I don't mean to be rude, but someone has been messing with you, and it has not been the one and only true God.

Godly prophets are moving amongst God's chosen people all the time. Their ministry is not normally of a high profile type, but subtly moving between us at the behest of the Holy Spirit, giving a warning about immoral and other ungodly conduct, and other spiritual insights, here and there as they go.

These prophets have been extint in the churches because most of them have thrown them out if they say they are prophets. The extintion has only been in the mainstream churches. The main exception used to be Pentacostal, but even they had started to end prophetic utterances. Churches that recognize prophets are still few, but God will make all churches accept them shortly.
