  How to use: The Bible


Consider the lilies...

      We are praying that the Holy Spirit will plow deep the soil of your heart, removing all stones, that these "living seeds" will grow bountifully in your heart and life. "Blessed is he that readeth… and keep those things that are written therein. "

      We thought it would be profitable to give a note on how the word of God should be used:

      Whether you believe in God or not you should always before reading the word of God, reverently ask God to speak to you and change you through His words.

      When you read put you own name in the promises you read, take them as your own, a gift from our Heavenly Father. A nominal faith in Christ, which accepts Him merely as the Savior of the world, can never bring healing to the soul. The only faith that will benefit us is that which embraces Him as a personal Savior; which appropriates His merits to ourselves. Many hold faith as an opinion. Saving faith is a transaction by which those who receive Christ join themselves in a covenant relation with God. Genuine faith is life. A living faith means an increase in vigor, a confiding trust, by which the soul becomes a conquering power.

      Every time that you read, search for a passage where He speaks to you. Then concentrate on that one passage until you have all that it contains, and you have made that thought your own. When this seed springs up in your heart with fruit, feed others with this living fruit fresh from your heart. ("When I was hungry you gave Me to eat... If you have done it unto one the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me " Matthew 25:34-40)

      It is helpful to use your imagination to place yourself in the story as one of the actors. You will gain much by trying to enter into the thoughts and feelings that filled their hearts. And each time you reread the bible stories, try choosing a different person in the story as your view point.

      Because these words are the "weapons of our warfare" against our sinful natures and our adversary the devil, store them in your heart. ("I have hid Thy word in my heart that I might not sin against Thee ", "By the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer ", "Unto us are given exceeding great and precious promises: that ye might be partakers of divine nature, having escaped the corruption of the world through lust ", "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. "

      Enter not into debate or controversy with the devil ("the accuser of the brethren ") but resist him with a simple "It is written" and a firm reliance upon a "thus saith the Lord", and he will "flee from you". Christ says "Be of good cheer,…I have overcome the world.", His victory is ours. "Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. "

      Do not the devil's "the accuser of the brethren" work. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword ", this sword is for your strength and protection and for cutting the bands of the "captives", not for wounding your fellow man. ("If you have done it unto the least of these my brethren you have done it unto Me " " It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." )

      Finally talk with God as you read, ask Him about those things you do not understand ("If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. "), and lift up expressions of gratitude when He draws near to you ("Rejoice in the Lord always").
