Reading the Bible can be like reading any other book for some people. For others it is like reading a book in a language they do not understand.
The key to understanding the Bible is to allow the Holy Spirit act as the interpreter within us. That is why prayer and meditation on the meaning of the scriptures is so important. Without the interpreter, our individual logic will prohibit us from having ears and hearing His word.
When I read the Bible, I feel Jesus in my heart. It is more addicting than potato chips. It’s wisdom is beyond the words. Just as a stop sign has no power over you, but merely directs your thoughts to perform an action that guides you safely along your journey, the Bible does the same.
The Bible has many meanings at many levels. While all are the truth, the meanings are different based upon our limited level of understanding. That is why we read and study the comments of those who have grown closer to God in their lives. Follow success. Jesus was the most successful, .. and thus His words are the best for me to follow for guidance. He blazed the trail for me to follow.
The best way to describe the experience one encounters when the Holy Spirit moves in and you connect experientially to our Father is that it is like connecting to the internet.
Suddenly all knowledge is available to you. However, you must know enough to ask the questions before you can get an answers. If you have unlimited knowledge at your fingertips, there are no better questions to ask than “Why did Jesus say......?”
Ask and you shall receive..
