The Holy Spirit gave me a Living Rhema Word about a specific issue while I was watching the teaching program, "Get Miracles While You Sleep" by Katie Souza! This Rhema Word was for my daughter, who is dealing with a problem which is affecting the whole family. The scripture the Holy Spirit gave me was, 2 Thessalonians 2, pertaining to the situation and problem. Thank you, Lord!
Excerpt from video "Get Miracles While You Sleep" by Katie Souza - The Kingdom of God is like a man who scattered seed upon the ground. The Word of God is seed. Before you go to bed have a date with God. Ask God to give you "A Living Rhema Word" so you can scatter the seed. The secret to the issues you are having will be revealed to you in the night while you sleep. Your heart will instruct you in the night seasons. That problem that has been besetting you that you can't figure out what to do, you will get the instructions on how to fix it in the night while you sleep. God is building our faith, showing a Word scripture which is about the issue. He is making a cutting covenant and He wants to fulfill that covenant with us about the promise to solve that problem, through the night while you sleep. You then play the chapter He gave you using the audio Bible App on your phone and put it on repeat function and play the chapter over yourself all night long. That's how the man took the seed and scattered it. God's Word does not return void unto Him. God sent this Word to heal you! God is watching carefully over that Word to perform it. You are now playing the Word God gave you that Word will not return void unto Him. This is how you get the Kingdom to manifest in your life. The Kingdom of God is like a man who scatters his seed upon the ground, then it sprouts and it grows, and then you get a manifestation, you get a miracle healing, you get a breakthrough, you get a financial increase, you get changed and you awake in His likeness. Amen!
Rhema Word - 2 Thessalonians 2 (MSG)
6-8 You’ll also remember that I told you the Anarchist is being held back until just the right time. That doesn’t mean that the spirit of anarchy is not now at work. It is, secretly and underground. But the time will come when the Anarchist will no longer be held back, but will be let loose. But don’t worry. The Master Jesus will be right on his heels and blow him away. The Master appears and—puff!—the Anarchist is out of there.
In verse 3 he introduces him under the title "the man of lawlessness," and then calls him, "the son of destruction." The falling away refers to massive rebellion against God and His authority by unbelieving humankind during the Great Tribulation.
9-12 The Anarchist’s coming is all Satan’s work. All his power and signs and miracles are fake, evil sleight of hand that plays to the gallery of those who hate the truth that could save them. And since they’re so obsessed with evil, God rubs their noses in it—gives them what they want. Since they refuse to trust truth, they’re banished to their chosen world of lies and illusions.
This is a person, a singular person. But the spirit of Antichrist, or the attitude, is in the world even now. Every individual in this world who under the power and influence of Satan attempts to thwart the work of God, attempts to thwart the work of Christ, attempts to attack the work of Christ or God, attempts to oppose it or to counterfeit it, has the spirit of Antichrist.
13-14 Meanwhile, we’ve got our hands full continually thanking God for you, our good friends—so loved by God! God picked you out as his from the very start. Think of it: included in God’s original plan of salvation by the bond of faith in the living truth. This is the life of the Spirit he invited you to through the Message we delivered, in which you get in on the glory of our Master, Jesus Christ.
We can be confident and encouraged because we have been sanctified and chosen to be saved by the Holy Spirit. It’s important that we hold on to Christ’s teachings. They have been tried and tested and found to be true. Just like these teachings have withstood the test of time, God’s love has stood the test of time. Just like these teachings have transcended history, God’s love is infinite and eternal.
The Greek word for “chose” is used nowhere else in the New Testament. It means “to select for oneself” with the intent to enjoy it after it becomes yours. God chose His people before the foundation of the world; they could not possibly choose him unless he had chosen them first.
Being chosen by God is a call to responsibility. God has chosen us as his first fruits so that we can tell everyone we know about His love and saving grace. We will face ridicule, rejection and opposition like Jesus did, but we are to stand fast. We can do this because God will support, strengthen and encourage us. He loves us, consoles us and gives us hope because of His grace.
In the midst of suffering and persecution, it is imperative that our devotion to Jesus is strong, growing in faith, and securely rooted in the love of God our Father. Seek to know God. Pursue an ever-deepening relationship with Jesus, so that when you face opposition, you will be able to stand.
15-17 So, friends, take a firm stand, feet on the ground and head high. Keep a tight grip on what you were taught, whether in personal conversation or by our letter. May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech.
Because God has done so much for them, His people are urged to stand fast and hold tightly to the truth that they have been taught. They might not understand everything that is happening, but they can be confident in the resources God has provided from eternity past to eternity future.
The word “traditions” does not refer to human institutions such as worship styles or musical preferences which will change with the times but the doctrinal teachings that originated with God and were taught by Paul and the other apostles. These must never change. Everything we do must be based on the lordship of Christ and the authority of the Bible. His standards must be our standards.
Knowing and practicing the Word of God strengthens our Christian walk and spirit. God’s grace and love encourage and strengthen us in every good deed and word. If we want to grow close to God, we have to forgive our enemies, encourage others and pray daily. This is hard work, and at times we will be discouraged, but it will be worth it in the end.

Put your hands out and say, Lord, I receive Your Rhema Word tonight. I need my seed so I can scatter it and I believe that when I scatter that seed, and I then go to sleep it will sprout, grow and increase even though I know not how. I believe that I can go to sleep and awaken in Your image and Your likeness. I decree You're going to change me, You're going to heal me, You're going to fix my mind, You're going to settle my emotions, You're going to cleanse my will, while I am asleep. I believe that I am going to walk into my promised land. I believe I am a child of Abraham, the true sons of Abraham, so I can have an encounter like Abraham. You're going to cut covenant with me while I sleep that will lead me to my promised land. Amen! Thank you, Jesus!
