All Scripture is God-breathed & is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting & training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The whole Bible is God's inspired Word. Because it is inspired & trustworthy, we should read it & apply it to our lives. The Bible is our standard for testing everything else that claims to be true. It is our safeguard against false teaching & our source of guidance for how we should live. It is our only source of knowledge about how we can be saved. God wants to show you what is true & equip you to live for Him. How much time do you spend in God's Word? Read it daily to discover God's TRUTH & to become confident in your life & faith. Develop a plan for reading the whole Bible, not just the familiar passages. Do not read it like a novel, you will know the stories recorded in it but not the God behind those stories. Read it devotionally. Ask God to open up your mind to understand the Scriptures. On your own you will not have good understanding of the Bible. The Holy Spirit, the real author of the Bible, will need to help us. We should not study the Bible to increase our knowledge or to prepare us to win arguments. No. Let us not do that. We should study the Bible so that we will know how to do Christ's work in the world. Testimony: I would like to thank the Lord for making me a MOVING Bible sort of, despite the fact that i never went to any Bible College for study.

Prayer: Father, I pray that you give us a Bible reading & meditation of the Word leading to obedience culture. Help us to meet God in Your Word daily & to put into into practice what we learn from it. Give us a new language, the language of the Word. Help us to live the Word, pray the Word & speak the Word even in our daily conversations. Help us to be strictly Word based. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen. Grace & peace be with you.
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds & write them on their hearts. I will be their God, & they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
