Understanding the scriptures

1 Thessalonians 2:13 NLT

« Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe. »

2 Timothy 2:15 Amplified Bible (ABP)

« Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth. »

This is because the letters do not carry the message; it is the Spirit of God that does. 2 Corinthians 3:6 NLT say:

  • You cannot understand the Scriptures without the help of the Holy Spirit, this is why many unbelievers keep misinterpreting it with some even calling it foolishness. 1 Corinthians 2:14 GNT says:

When you pick your Bible to read, first pray, asking that the Holy Spirit gives you understanding.

You have to be sensitive to the Spirit also, because He could be leading you to read a particular passage from where He wants to speak to you that day.

  • People vary in depth of revelations they receive from the word of God and this is because of their varying levels of infilling by the Holly Spirit.

The more of the Holy Spirit you carry, the deeper the revelations you will get from the word of God.

You must also note that the word of God is new every time you read it.

Never approach any Scripture with familiarity.

Many a-times, I read passages of the Bible that I had been reading for several years and the Holy Spirit interprets it to me in a completely different light.

The reason preachers are able to come up with new messages every day despite using the same version of the Bible for centuries is simply because the word of God is never old.

I pray that God will expose the mysteries of His word to you every time you read it in the mighty name of Jesus.

Application – Ask the Holy Spirit for understanding every time you read your Bible.
