BEFORE reading GOD's WORD
PRAISE & WORSHIP
Before we read the Word of God, it is important that we usher in the presence of God, through worship, and praise.
Humility & Surrender
Invite the Holy Spirit to TEACH, GUIDE, and LISTEN
It is Him and him alone that teaches all things. People are SEND to guide us, but when we are mature enough we must pick up the spoon and feed ourselves with it.
Lay all of your troubles down, burdens and heavy loads, at the foot of the CROSS, and step into his presence.
Invitation
Invite the Holy Spirit in to TEACH, Guide, and LEAD through PRAYER
Here is the prayer that I pray before I read my scriptures
Our father who is in Heaven, praise your Holy name. Thank you for the power that works perfectly through us, and in us, that is available to us, at the mension of your name. Come and inhabit the praises of your people. Send your Holy Spirit in the midst as we study your Word your truth. Reveal your plan for our lives, what is your will and purpose in my life? Open my eyes that I may see beyond what I see, and hear beyond what I hear, as I open my heart to you, soften my heart to receive your word, your truth, your knowledge, your wisdom. Remove pre-conceived ideas, notions, and beliefs, taught knowledge that is lofty and faulty, and stream purely from above. Teach me, instruct me, correct me, guide me, in the way I should go. In the powerful name of Jesus I pray, AMEN!
