0:00:00.240,0:00:03.439
my question now is when we get to the

0:00:03.439,0:00:05.120
point where the holy spirit makes a

0:00:05.120,0:00:07.840
Bible verse important to us or we get a

0:00:07.840,0:00:10.400
deeper uh understanding of a Bible

0:00:10.400,0:00:12.840
passage is it important then to keep a

0:00:12.840,0:00:15.120
written record of it for example in a

0:00:15.120,0:00:18.160
personal Bible diary or Bible Journal

0:00:18.160,0:00:19.720
because I don't want to lose the

0:00:19.720,0:00:22.760
knowledge I received um so how do you

0:00:22.760,0:00:25.119
handle this how can we organize and

0:00:25.119,0:00:26.800
manage all the knowledge we receive so

0:00:26.800,0:00:30.359
we don't lose it

0:00:30.359,0:00:33.000
very practical the question you asked

0:00:33.000,0:00:37.680
was my uh I remember in 2002 when I came

0:00:37.680,0:00:39.000
to

0:00:39.000,0:00:42.079
Synagogue Church ofin Nations I I

0:00:42.079,0:00:45.399
discover things new there's a a

0:00:45.399,0:00:48.280
teaching that was so deep and I was

0:00:48.280,0:00:51.320
battling to understand it because of

0:00:51.320,0:00:52.600
language barriers well because I'm a

0:00:52.600,0:00:56.280
French speaking so anytime I come across

0:00:56.280,0:00:59.519
uh a verse a Bible verse or a word of

0:00:59.519,0:01:00.600
wisdom

0:01:00.600,0:01:03.719
which seems so difficult for me I said

0:01:03.719,0:01:06.640
to myself God help me to understand if I

0:01:06.640,0:01:08.960
don't understand I don't reject it I

0:01:08.960,0:01:13.560
will take the verse I will write it I

0:01:13.560,0:01:16.840
what helped me a lot is that for example

0:01:16.840,0:01:19.799
you say okay let me give an example the

0:01:19.799,0:01:21.560
first word of wisdom I came say we are

0:01:21.560,0:01:25.159
Sav to save others I said to myself how

0:01:25.159,0:01:26.200
can we save

0:01:26.200,0:01:28.799
others it's only Jesus I know as Savior

0:01:28.799,0:01:31.600
how can we save others

0:01:31.600,0:01:35.200
so I wrote it on a on a on a small note

0:01:35.200,0:01:36.759
and I begin

0:01:36.759,0:01:39.840
to meditate I never knew what meditation

0:01:39.840,0:01:43.600
was about but I read to understand if I

0:01:43.600,0:01:45.240
don't understand something it's very

0:01:45.240,0:01:47.240
difficult to become part of me so but I

0:01:47.240,0:01:50.560
will not reject it I will write it

0:01:50.560,0:01:53.320
later I will go to the

0:01:53.320,0:01:57.759
verse to read it once I read it I record

0:01:57.759,0:02:00.200
it in my brain I memorize it I to do

0:02:00.200,0:02:01.680
that before because I don't have time to

0:02:01.680,0:02:04.680
read sometime sometime if you put it on

0:02:04.680,0:02:08.239
a note because of activities you may

0:02:08.239,0:02:11.360
even forget it but the Bible is meant to

0:02:11.360,0:02:13.440
be stored in the speci in the shelf of

0:02:13.440,0:02:14.640
our

0:02:14.640,0:02:17.720
heart that's very it is effective so

0:02:17.720,0:02:20.040
when you read the Bible and you come

0:02:20.040,0:02:21.840
across a specific

0:02:21.840,0:02:24.519
passage that speaks to you

0:02:24.519,0:02:28.319
intimately so I write down and one day

0:02:28.319,0:02:31.040
the prophet say I give you an advice

0:02:31.040,0:02:35.280
create a file called don't go don't go

0:02:35.280,0:02:39.000
don't let it go it was 2004 I grabed the

0:02:39.000,0:02:42.560
idea anytime I come across a Bible verse

0:02:42.560,0:02:45.080
I highlight you see my Bible it's

0:02:45.080,0:02:46.720
highlighted everywhere full of colors

0:02:46.720,0:02:50.360
rainbow rainbow yellow so when I

0:02:50.360,0:02:52.879
highlight it I do something I use my

0:02:52.879,0:02:55.480
phone I have a not

0:02:55.480,0:02:58.480
note I write the

0:02:58.480,0:03:01.440
verse and I learned and I learned the

0:03:01.440,0:03:03.879
verse I make sure the verse I know this

0:03:03.879,0:03:06.000
verse anytime I hear Matthew chapter I

0:03:06.000,0:03:08.440
must know what it is because when you

0:03:08.440,0:03:12.280
just get the the Matthew 11:28 what does

0:03:12.280,0:03:13.319
it

0:03:13.319,0:03:16.680
say I have to read it to possess it to

0:03:16.680,0:03:19.680
become part of me and the prophet say if

0:03:19.680,0:03:22.280
you take God's word to

0:03:22.280,0:03:26.200
heart and made it a part of

0:03:26.200,0:03:29.959
you that word by its very nature will

0:03:29.959,0:03:30.959
change

0:03:30.959,0:03:34.080
you and when it changes you you find

0:03:34.080,0:03:37.200
yourself moved by the life of God so I

0:03:37.200,0:03:39.400
said to myself okay since you are so

0:03:39.400,0:03:40.959
busy attening to

0:03:40.959,0:03:44.040
people people write notes on their

0:03:44.040,0:03:47.360
hands do you remember it me I memorize

0:03:47.360,0:03:49.239
it in my in my brain that's why

0:03:49.239,0:03:52.720
meditation start thinking is not bad I

0:03:52.720,0:03:55.239
memorize but if you memorize something

0:03:55.239,0:03:59.360
as time goes on you lose it but I Contin

0:03:59.360,0:04:01.280
to tell in my mind I want to understand

0:04:01.280,0:04:02.560
what it means to understand what it

0:04:02.560,0:04:04.599
means to understand it means before you

0:04:04.599,0:04:07.200
realize it after one day it become part

0:04:07.200,0:04:11.120
of me it's the exercise I did so I wrote

0:04:11.120,0:04:14.680
it but after I wrote it I will go to the

0:04:14.680,0:04:17.959
not when I go to the notes I will I will

0:04:17.959,0:04:19.519
learn it learn it learn it by and

0:04:19.519,0:04:21.720
continue to meditate it's meditation

0:04:21.720,0:04:23.759
that keep the word into our

0:04:23.759,0:04:26.560
heart because it's just like a computer

0:04:26.560,0:04:28.639
so when I switch my computer on I have

0:04:28.639,0:04:33.080
the RAM memory so if I type a uh a

0:04:33.080,0:04:35.720
message if I don't save it and I switch

0:04:35.720,0:04:38.960
off I may lose it so I have to record it

0:04:38.960,0:04:41.400
somewhere so it's very good to keep

0:04:41.400,0:04:45.080
record but what we need to do after

0:04:45.080,0:04:47.880
reading after you have read whether a

0:04:47.880,0:04:50.759
message or a Bible I go back to the

0:04:50.759,0:04:52.560
message and that's where the key of

0:04:52.560,0:04:56.240
meditation starts it's not something

0:04:56.240,0:04:57.360
passive is

0:04:57.360,0:05:00.280
active I will record it on the tablets

0:05:00.280,0:05:03.280
of my heart once I understand the word

0:05:03.280,0:05:06.880
it is with me it's is there forever just

0:05:06.880,0:05:09.840
try to do it I said to myself okay every

0:05:09.840,0:05:13.960
day I must get five words of wisdom five

0:05:13.960,0:05:15.560
Bible verses I read in my Bible that

0:05:15.560,0:05:18.000
must be part of me so if I'm in a

0:05:18.000,0:05:19.919
vehicle or I'm in a bus I need to look

0:05:19.919,0:05:21.400
for the Bible it there

0:05:21.400,0:05:23.520
already now this is where Holy Ghost

0:05:23.520,0:05:27.520
will help you Jesus said in John chapter

0:05:27.520,0:05:30.360
14: 26

0:05:30.360,0:05:32.120
that the holy spirit will bring to our

0:05:32.120,0:05:34.400
remembrance the very words of Jesus yeah

0:05:34.400,0:05:36.160
that's what I was thinking of and that's

0:05:36.160,0:05:38.240
very the key sometime you think you have

0:05:38.240,0:05:40.120
forgotten you okay you have read

0:05:40.120,0:05:41.199
something in the

0:05:41.199,0:05:45.039
morning but go to a quiet place and just

0:05:45.039,0:05:46.919
try to remember what you have

0:05:46.919,0:05:49.199
read while you doing ask Holy Ghost to

0:05:49.199,0:05:51.800
bring to you'll be very surprised to

0:05:51.800,0:05:53.199
realize that what you think you have

0:05:53.199,0:05:55.400
forgotten begin to come begin good to

0:05:55.400,0:05:57.160
come begin good to come that's the work

0:05:57.160,0:05:58.199
of Holy

0:05:58.199,0:06:01.319
Spirit and that's where meditation will

0:06:01.319,0:06:03.240
start you

0:06:03.240,0:06:06.360
read after you have read you close your

0:06:06.360,0:06:09.960
Bible and think about what you have

0:06:09.960,0:06:13.680
read think about it think about it as

0:06:13.680,0:06:15.840
you walk think about it think about it

0:06:15.840,0:06:18.240
before you realize it the thing will

0:06:18.240,0:06:20.560
sink into your

0:06:20.560,0:06:23.680
heart Prophet say when you eat food I I

0:06:23.680,0:06:26.680
I match it I it's my mouth chew it I

0:06:26.680,0:06:28.759
chew it I chew it thank you very much I

0:06:28.759,0:06:31.639
chew it before I realize it I instinctly

0:06:31.639,0:06:34.960
swallow it once it enter my enters my

0:06:34.960,0:06:37.560
stomach I have no control over it

0:06:37.560,0:06:41.960
there's a process going inside so when

0:06:41.960,0:06:44.919
you read your Bible you read it to

0:06:44.919,0:06:48.160
understand it you read it to get it into

0:06:48.160,0:06:50.720
your heart because that word is there

0:06:50.720,0:06:53.479
forever that's why when you are

0:06:53.479,0:06:55.960
praying we call it Spirit prayer prayer

0:06:55.960,0:06:58.520
in the power of Holy Spirit Holy Ghost

0:06:58.520,0:07:01.080
will bring that word to remance to you

0:07:01.080,0:07:03.280
you start worshiping worshiping and the

0:07:03.280,0:07:05.919
word just spring from your spirit so

0:07:05.919,0:07:08.120
what we need to do now I kept record I

0:07:08.120,0:07:10.960
write it I have full of them see if my

0:07:10.960,0:07:13.440
phone is I want to show you even CER

0:07:13.440,0:07:18.199
consum me I don't know what I like to

0:07:19.319,0:07:22.599
do show

0:07:27.400,0:07:30.680
you I I I even snap The Bible Pages I

0:07:30.680,0:07:33.520
read not to forget it I will snap it and

0:07:33.520,0:07:35.360
read it and read it and read it and read

0:07:35.360,0:07:37.560
till become part of me so all these

0:07:37.560,0:07:40.960
notes are I reading daily reading any

0:07:40.960,0:07:42.240
time I read a passage that really

0:07:42.240,0:07:47.599
strikes me see my Bible I snap it I snap

0:07:47.599,0:07:51.440
the whole page on my Note and once I

0:07:51.440,0:07:54.840
finish reading I go back to it I always

0:07:54.840,0:07:58.680
go back to it to read it to meditate it

0:07:58.680,0:08:00.319
and that's when the Bible will become

0:08:00.319,0:08:01.240
part of

0:08:01.240,0:08:03.800
you I strongly

0:08:03.800,0:08:07.599
believe that the Bible explains Itself

0:08:07.599,0:08:09.360
by

0:08:09.360,0:08:12.599
itself you can read a passage that seems

0:08:12.599,0:08:16.120
difficult to understand and later you

0:08:16.120,0:08:18.039
come across one scripture that is cross

0:08:18.039,0:08:20.720
reference to that one that give you more

0:08:20.720,0:08:24.000
light so what I do I put those verses

0:08:24.000,0:08:26.520
together in a very logical are way and

0:08:26.520,0:08:29.800
read it and go over it I go over it I go

0:08:29.800,0:08:32.599
I trust Holy Ghost before you realize it

0:08:32.599,0:08:35.640
it is part of you and one day you begin

0:08:35.640,0:08:37.479
to pray all of the scripture come to

0:08:37.479,0:08:40.919
come to your spirit and when I read my

0:08:40.919,0:08:43.240
Bible I I gave you one one testimony one

0:08:43.240,0:08:44.800
day the prophet say if you read 40

0:08:44.800,0:08:46.839
chapters per day you got the Bible in

0:08:46.839,0:08:49.240
one year in in one

0:08:49.240,0:08:52.000
month I I say how can you read the Bible

0:08:52.000,0:08:55.560
in one month 4 chapters perday I did it

0:08:55.560,0:08:56.760
it's so quick you don't remember

0:08:56.760,0:08:58.399
anything but what is there something

0:08:58.399,0:09:00.800
mysterious in this Bible

0:09:00.800,0:09:03.000
anytime you read

0:09:03.000,0:09:05.839
it you will discover something

0:09:05.839,0:09:09.200
new any time you read it first I read it

0:09:09.200,0:09:11.880
again my mind get refreshed any time you

0:09:11.880,0:09:14.360
read something new happen so what we

0:09:14.360,0:09:15.279
need to

0:09:15.279,0:09:18.360
do is to record instead of our shelves

0:09:18.360,0:09:20.360
but on the shelves of your human spirit

0:09:20.360,0:09:22.480
and that's the area of meditation that's

0:09:22.480,0:09:25.360
what helps a lot many of my reference I

0:09:25.360,0:09:26.760
don't need anymore they become part of

0:09:26.760,0:09:29.720
me but those verse I read them I read

0:09:29.720,0:09:32.720
them I read them I read them and when

0:09:32.720,0:09:33.560
one

0:09:33.560,0:09:36.480
day the man of the Prophet was saying

0:09:36.480,0:09:39.360
that this is my advice when you are

0:09:39.360,0:09:42.040
reading a

0:09:42.040,0:09:44.560
message and you see Bible

0:09:44.560,0:09:47.000
scriptures don't just read your Bible

0:09:47.000,0:09:49.519
alone read the Bible but read the

0:09:49.519,0:09:51.519
message read the message and read the

0:09:51.519,0:09:54.440
Bible whatever message you come across

0:09:54.440,0:09:57.279
go to the Bible and find out what is in

0:09:57.279,0:09:59.399
line with the scriptures and that's what

0:09:59.399,0:10:02.839
helped me a lot so when I came across

0:10:02.839,0:10:04.800
that quote that say we are safe to serve

0:10:04.800,0:10:07.640
others I begin to search I say wow I

0:10:07.640,0:10:10.959
remember Bible say in book of First

0:10:10.959,0:10:13.040
Corinthian uh the ministry of

0:10:13.040,0:10:14.600
reconciliation

0:10:14.600,0:10:16.480
absolutely yes that's Mutual

0:10:16.480,0:10:19.279
reconciliation so knowledge come

0:10:19.279,0:10:22.880
first but understanding comes later

0:10:22.880,0:10:25.279
there are many verse we read today but

0:10:25.279,0:10:28.600
later we get the understanding of it so

0:10:28.600,0:10:30.800
the cross ref ref of the Bible is very

0:10:30.800,0:10:33.839
important I meditate I learn it by heart

0:10:33.839,0:10:35.519
I stop in my memory I begin to think

0:10:35.519,0:10:36.959
about it till I get spiritual

0:10:36.959,0:10:39.880
understanding of it once what you

0:10:39.880,0:10:43.360
understand is what you keep forever yeah

0:10:43.360,0:10:45.440
that that's what I wanted to say just

0:10:45.440,0:10:46.920
quickly because when you talked about

0:10:46.920,0:10:48.240
the Holy Spirit bringing to our

0:10:48.240,0:10:50.279
remembrance he can only bring to to our

0:10:50.279,0:10:51.880
remembrance what's already stored in our

0:10:51.880,0:10:54.079
heart it's only the word in our heart

0:10:54.079,0:10:56.639
that he will bring back to us at the

0:10:56.639,0:10:58.839
time that we need it and you know he

0:10:58.839,0:11:02.240
will use that word to to strengthen us

0:11:02.240,0:11:05.880
to to fortify us to comfort us to to he

0:11:05.880,0:11:07.440
will use that word but that word has to

0:11:07.440,0:11:09.480
be stored in our heart and when you were

0:11:09.480,0:11:12.200
talking about um you know do we write it

0:11:12.200,0:11:14.320
down it's it's different to like when

0:11:14.320,0:11:15.959
you're revising for exams you know when

0:11:15.959,0:11:17.279
you're Rising for exams you know you

0:11:17.279,0:11:18.920
pick up bits and you learn it's all it's

0:11:18.920,0:11:20.600
all academic you know you just can write

0:11:20.600,0:11:23.120
it out write it out put it in different

0:11:23.120,0:11:26.040
colors and write out so many times but

0:11:26.040,0:11:27.760
this is a matter that's why I just

0:11:27.760,0:11:30.120
wanted to focus on you said

0:11:30.120,0:11:31.920
understanding if you understand

0:11:31.920,0:11:33.200
something it will stay in your heart

0:11:33.200,0:11:36.800
forever you can you can learn something

0:11:36.800,0:11:37.600
by

0:11:37.600,0:11:40.519
memory all of us have gone through the

0:11:40.519,0:11:43.040
education system you know we we learned

0:11:43.040,0:11:45.040
so many things that now we can't

0:11:45.040,0:11:48.320
remember you know I'm sure so much of of

0:11:48.320,0:11:51.880
of but the process of of that learning

0:11:51.880,0:11:55.000
stays with us forever and once you

0:11:55.000,0:11:56.959
understand something that understanding

0:11:56.959,0:11:58.480
is in your heart and that doesn't leave

0:11:58.480,0:12:00.560
you and and because what struck me from

0:12:00.560,0:12:03.040
your question is you know how how can we

0:12:03.040,0:12:05.600
make sure that all of this um doesn't

0:12:05.600,0:12:08.600
leave us that we don't lose um what we

0:12:08.600,0:12:10.200
read and I really like that point you

0:12:10.200,0:12:13.880
made because um it's it's you know it's

0:12:13.880,0:12:15.199
not just a matter of reading and it

0:12:15.199,0:12:17.079
going in one ear and out the other you

0:12:17.079,0:12:18.760
know we can't lose this because this is

0:12:18.760,0:12:22.120
our life how do we how do we not lose it

0:12:22.120,0:12:23.959
well we have to understand spiritually

0:12:23.959,0:12:25.560
that's only through the help of the Holy

0:12:25.560,0:12:27.959
Spirit but we have to start somewhere so

0:12:27.959,0:12:29.760
don't condemn yourself don't

0:12:29.760,0:12:31.720
if we're all on this journey together

0:12:31.720,0:12:33.199
and that's why we said at the beginning

0:12:33.199,0:12:35.279
that if your life is in Christ it's a

0:12:35.279,0:12:37.000
new creation there's there's new

0:12:37.000,0:12:40.040
revelation every day when you read the

0:12:40.040,0:12:41.720
Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to help

0:12:41.720,0:12:44.760
you you can read read things oh now I

0:12:44.760,0:12:47.160
understand now I understand so it's a

0:12:47.160,0:12:49.800
it's a it's a lifelong Learning Journey

0:12:49.800,0:12:51.519
but I just wanted to emphasize on that

0:12:51.519,0:12:53.800
point of understanding when you

0:12:53.800,0:12:55.360
understand it with the spirit's help

0:12:55.360,0:12:58.120
then you can't lose it you you you you

0:12:58.120,0:13:00.160
might not know exactly the chapter and

0:13:00.160,0:13:02.440
verse you know Vine is a walking

0:13:02.440,0:13:04.480
Encyclopedia of the Bible I not like

0:13:04.480,0:13:06.320
this if you ask him anything he'll be

0:13:06.320,0:13:07.880
able to tell you the chapter and verse

0:13:07.880,0:13:09.480
look I'm going to be honest with you I

0:13:09.480,0:13:12.160
don't want to provoke you to say that I

0:13:12.160,0:13:14.800
was not born Master when I was I was a

0:13:14.800,0:13:18.079
young boy Muslim when I was young I

0:13:18.079,0:13:21.320
learned to learn the Quran by

0:13:21.320,0:13:23.760
heart I went to Quran in school and I

0:13:23.760,0:13:25.880
learned them by heart and all those

0:13:25.880,0:13:27.440
verses I learned by heart I still

0:13:27.440,0:13:30.120
recorded here so I apply the same

0:13:30.120,0:13:31.680
technique when I read the

0:13:31.680,0:13:35.199
Bible I will read it I will memorize the

0:13:35.199,0:13:37.680
whole thing so I will begin to read it

0:13:37.680,0:13:40.920
in my memory I don't need to carry bible

0:13:40.920,0:13:44.079
I memorize I now when I came across the

0:13:44.079,0:13:46.720
book of prover if you have your Bible

0:13:46.720,0:13:48.240
when you see the Book of

0:13:48.240,0:13:51.920
Proverbs 4 verse 20-

0:13:51.920,0:13:53.959
23 my

0:13:53.959,0:13:57.720
son attend to my words I learn it by

0:13:57.720,0:14:01.560
heart keep them in the midst of your

0:14:01.560,0:14:04.560
heart for there are life for those who

0:14:04.560,0:14:08.040
find him and health to all flesh keep

0:14:08.040,0:14:11.360
them way in the midst of your heart and

0:14:11.360,0:14:13.279
that's what is the most difficult we

0:14:13.279,0:14:15.120
need to allow that word in the midst of

0:14:15.120,0:14:16.720
our heart through that process of

0:14:16.720,0:14:19.800
meditation meditating the Bible because

0:14:19.800,0:14:22.240
I we said already that we meditate

0:14:22.240,0:14:25.519
because we want to understand the Divine

0:14:25.519,0:14:29.160
meaning Jesus spoke lot of Parables do

0:14:29.160,0:14:31.440
will really understand what it means to

0:14:31.440,0:14:32.399
apply

0:14:32.399,0:14:34.199
it he

0:14:34.199,0:14:37.320
said if your right hand disturb you

0:14:37.320,0:14:41.040
catch it off or plag it off it's a he

0:14:41.040,0:14:43.839
was speaking his Parable that's why in

0:14:43.839,0:14:46.360
the in the parable of the s in Matthew

0:14:46.360,0:14:48.639
chapter 13:

0:14:48.639,0:14:52.720
19 Jesus said can you read it for

0:14:52.720,0:14:58.079
us Matthew chapter 13: 19

0:15:02.639,0:15:04.040
it's good to keep

0:15:04.040,0:15:06.560
record when anyone hears the word of the

0:15:06.560,0:15:08.440
kingdom and does not understand it then

0:15:08.440,0:15:10.680
the wicked one comes and snatches away

0:15:10.680,0:15:13.240
what was sown in his heart this is he

0:15:13.240,0:15:17.800
who received seed by the

0:15:18.759,0:15:21.120
wayside when anyone hears the word of

0:15:21.120,0:15:22.480
the kingdom when you hear the word of

0:15:22.480,0:15:24.680
the kingdom and does not understand it

0:15:24.680,0:15:26.759
and we do not understand it then the

0:15:26.759,0:15:29.279
wicked one comes and snatches away what

0:15:29.279,0:15:32.240
was sewn in his heart that's is it the

0:15:32.240,0:15:35.040
importance of understanding the Divine

0:15:35.040,0:15:37.560
meaning of what I'm bring so when you

0:15:37.560,0:15:40.240
are reading and you find you come across

0:15:40.240,0:15:43.279
a a section sometime it is personal to

0:15:43.279,0:15:46.279
you your heart will begin to ring that's

0:15:46.279,0:15:49.240
why the prophet say read your Bible

0:15:49.240,0:15:52.759
slowly attentively

0:15:52.759,0:15:56.399
repeatedly mean sometimes some heart are

0:15:56.399,0:15:58.440
very slow to understand that's dependent

0:15:58.440,0:15:59.920
nature of our heart

0:15:59.920,0:16:02.759
you go to read it you read it you read

0:16:02.759,0:16:05.920
it slowly like the Ean un did in the

0:16:05.920,0:16:09.600
book of act chapter8 he was reading he

0:16:09.600,0:16:11.399
could not understand but did not drop it

0:16:11.399,0:16:14.399
he kept on reading reading until he

0:16:14.399,0:16:16.839
became a part of you once you understand

0:16:16.839,0:16:19.000
it's there forever you may not remember

0:16:19.000,0:16:21.319
the number of the Matthew 12 whatever

0:16:21.319,0:16:24.000
but the meaning is inside of you that's

0:16:24.000,0:16:25.440
what I wanted to say that's where I was

0:16:25.440,0:16:27.880
going when I said that rine will know

0:16:27.880,0:16:29.519
the exact chapter and verse

0:16:29.519,0:16:32.199
I'm saying even if if you know we're not

0:16:32.199,0:16:34.440
we all have different anyway everyone's

0:16:34.440,0:16:36.720
different what I want to say is that the

0:16:36.720,0:16:38.120
understanding of the scripture like for

0:16:38.120,0:16:39.240
example you

0:16:39.240,0:16:41.680
know what it says you might not know

0:16:41.680,0:16:43.360
exactly where it is but you know what it

0:16:43.360,0:16:45.920
says and you understand it and you apply

0:16:45.920,0:16:48.959
it to your life that is what counts um

0:16:48.959,0:16:52.000
you know and because for example this is

0:16:52.000,0:16:53.680
the blueprint that we have The Sermon on

0:16:53.680,0:16:55.759
the Mount in Matthew 6 you know this

0:16:55.759,0:16:58.199
when when Jesus explained how we should

0:16:58.199,0:16:59.480
live our life

0:16:59.480,0:17:01.639
you know that that you might not know

0:17:01.639,0:17:03.240
everything word for word but we know

0:17:03.240,0:17:06.240
what he said and we we apply it we we

0:17:06.240,0:17:08.199
understand okay what it means when turn

0:17:08.199,0:17:10.480
the other cheek okay love your enemies

0:17:10.480,0:17:13.520
okay do this do that okay it it's

0:17:13.520,0:17:16.400
something which becomes a part of you in

0:17:16.400,0:17:18.360
the same way the more you read and

0:17:18.360,0:17:20.520
that's why it's so um important that

0:17:20.520,0:17:21.600
we're doing this journey through the

0:17:21.600,0:17:23.160
Bible together we're going all the way

0:17:23.160,0:17:25.880
through you know many people it's

0:17:25.880,0:17:27.280
difficult to read through many many

0:17:27.280,0:17:29.559
books in the Old Testament you know

0:17:29.559,0:17:31.760
um and so to actually go through this

0:17:31.760,0:17:34.360
whole journey encourages you to actually

0:17:34.360,0:17:37.200
see okay what what can I see in this and

0:17:37.200,0:17:39.320
as you read things will just jump out at

0:17:39.320,0:17:41.559
you and when they jump out at you

0:17:41.559,0:17:44.600
definitely everyone has a different way

0:17:44.600,0:17:47.320
okay you can underline it highlight it

0:17:47.320,0:17:48.919
write it down somewhere else like rasine

0:17:48.919,0:17:51.200
said he takes a picture with his phone

0:17:51.200,0:17:53.919
um any way that's the best for you but

0:17:53.919,0:17:57.440
the the most important is that H you you

0:17:57.440,0:17:59.919
you ask the Holy Spirit to help you

0:17:59.919,0:18:02.400
understand and apply it to your life

0:18:02.400,0:18:04.559
then can never you can never lose it you

0:18:04.559,0:18:06.640
can never lose it it's it's here that's

0:18:06.640,0:18:10.280
the Heavenly currency that that will

0:18:10.280,0:18:12.000
will get you what you need in the

0:18:12.000,0:18:14.200
kingdom of God and please continue

0:18:14.200,0:18:17.120
reading because one day you say I've

0:18:17.120,0:18:19.640
heard about this

0:18:19.640,0:18:22.840
somewhere sometime I read one verse and

0:18:22.840,0:18:24.799
I remember Paul said this I quickly go

0:18:24.799,0:18:27.039
to Paul and make the connection because

0:18:27.039,0:18:29.600
the Bible is Interlink

0:18:29.600,0:18:31.799
once I got the connection important

0:18:31.799,0:18:35.240
verses I make sure I get it by heart

0:18:35.240,0:18:36.880
because there some like everybody know

0:18:36.880,0:18:39.919
John 3:16 God so loved the world that we

0:18:39.919,0:18:43.880
know those verse you know Romans 10:1 17

0:18:43.880,0:18:46.360
Faith but when you come across your

0:18:46.360,0:18:49.280
Bible there are some section where if

0:18:49.280,0:18:51.880
your heart is a lord it will strike

0:18:51.880,0:18:55.240
you you may forget you you either you

0:18:55.240,0:18:57.159
highlight depend on system you have me

0:18:57.159,0:19:00.679
what I do as I show you I snap the page

0:19:00.679,0:19:03.080
this is the page I snap the page

0:19:03.080,0:19:06.919
directly and then when I finish my day I

0:19:06.919,0:19:09.080
will go back to the pages I read you see

0:19:09.080,0:19:11.799
them this is my I'm sharing my technique

0:19:11.799,0:19:14.400
to you because you ask me this is how I

0:19:14.400,0:19:16.880
do I read this morning and I see the

0:19:16.880,0:19:18.960
connection God was talking about let me

0:19:18.960,0:19:21.440
tell you why was say about prophecy God

0:19:21.440,0:19:24.159
say I will raise for them a prophet like

0:19:24.159,0:19:26.640
you in the midst of the Brethren I will

0:19:26.640,0:19:29.840
put my words what strike me is two words

0:19:29.840,0:19:31.400
God say I will

0:19:31.400,0:19:36.400
raise Prophet I will put my words I say

0:19:36.400,0:19:39.120
wow this mean God is the one that raised

0:19:39.120,0:19:40.640
the prophet not

0:19:40.640,0:19:43.919
man number two I will put my words in

0:19:43.919,0:19:44.720
his

0:19:44.720,0:19:48.080
mouth means it's not just about

0:19:48.080,0:19:49.799
receiving inspiration it's about

0:19:49.799,0:19:51.480
expressing the word of God from your

0:19:51.480,0:19:53.799
mouth mean the spirit of God will speak

0:19:53.799,0:19:54.840
through

0:19:54.840,0:19:57.760
you so I wrote those two I said wow this

0:19:57.760,0:19:59.720
is teaching me lessen that God will

0:19:59.720,0:20:02.159
raise and God will put the word mean the

0:20:02.159,0:20:04.159
expression of Prophecy came through the

0:20:04.159,0:20:07.159
power of Holy Spirit and I to ask myself

0:20:07.159,0:20:09.000
what is the purpose of Prophecy I write

0:20:09.000,0:20:11.240
that question later when I was reading I

0:20:11.240,0:20:13.600
went to another section that gave me the

0:20:13.600,0:20:15.840
answer and I and I noted here in the

0:20:15.840,0:20:19.400
book of Jeremiah it's here he

0:20:19.400,0:20:22.039
said if they are prophets and if the

0:20:22.039,0:20:24.880
word of the Lord is with them let them

0:20:24.880,0:20:26.559
now make

0:20:26.559,0:20:28.840
intercession for the for the for the for

0:20:28.840,0:20:32.200
the Lord of host that the vessel which

0:20:32.200,0:20:34.360
they left in the house of the Lord will

0:20:34.360,0:20:36.799
be taken back so that mean the purpose

0:20:36.799,0:20:38.880
of the prophecy is to bring people to

0:20:38.880,0:20:41.520
their heart back to God so I take those

0:20:41.520,0:20:44.120
two verses and I get them into my heart

0:20:44.120,0:20:47.320
now that understanding fix them for

0:20:47.320,0:20:50.880
forever now God will raise and God will

0:20:50.880,0:20:53.159
put his word in your lips so nobody can

0:20:53.159,0:20:54.720
teach you to prophesy holy ghost that

0:20:54.720,0:20:57.520
speaks through you so I read my Bible I

0:20:57.520,0:21:00.280
take I take attention of every single

0:21:00.280,0:21:02.360
word there are some words are so

0:21:02.360,0:21:04.640
powerful why God you say it why this

0:21:04.640,0:21:07.559
word why this verb why this and that's

0:21:07.559,0:21:09.640
that understanding now make the Bible to

0:21:09.640,0:21:11.720
become part of you as you continue to

0:21:11.720,0:21:13.559
practice it to practice it to practice

0:21:13.559,0:21:14.919
before you realize it it is there

0:21:14.919,0:21:17.960
forever once you understand it but this

0:21:17.960,0:21:20.799
is my record keeping record is very

0:21:20.799,0:21:24.159
good so if you go to a church a service

0:21:24.159,0:21:25.960
or you hear somebody preaching a

0:21:25.960,0:21:26.880
wonderful

0:21:26.880,0:21:29.520
message I heard the word wisdom I write

0:21:29.520,0:21:32.080
it I heard something I write it when I

0:21:32.080,0:21:34.159
go home I begin to meditate the more you

0:21:34.159,0:21:35.919
meditate new revelation will come new

0:21:35.919,0:21:37.840
understanding will come and that's just

0:21:37.840,0:21:41.600
how this you transfer from the letter to

0:21:41.600,0:21:43.880
the spirit from the written to Your

0:21:43.880,0:21:46.679
Heart by thinking about it meditating we

0:21:46.679,0:21:49.440
just have that time sometime we read we

0:21:49.440,0:21:52.000
don't have to go back to it go back to

0:21:52.000,0:21:54.480
it don't read it again turn it over turn

0:21:54.480,0:21:57.240
it over till you get it right it's a

0:21:57.240,0:21:58.400
gift of Holy Spirit and that's why I

0:21:58.400,0:22:00.720
just wanted to say finally is that there

0:22:00.720,0:22:03.159
is a power in actually reading the word

0:22:03.159,0:22:04.520
you know it is a blessing as well to

0:22:04.520,0:22:06.279
listen to the audio version of the Bible

0:22:06.279,0:22:09.520
and have for example listen to have it

0:22:09.520,0:22:13.039
how can I say listening to to scripture

0:22:13.039,0:22:14.760
but there is such a power in physically

0:22:14.760,0:22:17.679
reading your Bible um that's what I just

0:22:17.679,0:22:19.480
wanted to encourage you with that you

0:22:19.480,0:22:21.720
know when you read it it's like

0:22:21.720,0:22:23.360
literally the word can just jump out of

0:22:23.360,0:22:27.240
the page at you um and so don't

0:22:27.240,0:22:29.440
underestimate or under mind the power of

0:22:29.440,0:22:31.000
actually reading the Bible your your

0:22:31.000,0:22:34.640
physical your physical Bible um yeah

0:22:34.640,0:22:38.039
yeah and second not on your tablet or

0:22:38.039,0:22:41.600
your iPad or your phone I'm I'm all for

0:22:41.600,0:22:44.080
physical physical Bible it's we like to

0:22:44.080,0:22:46.080
but sometime you may situation where I

0:22:46.080,0:22:49.159
have my physical Bible I have both but

0:22:49.159,0:22:51.120
one thing is important I used to read a

0:22:51.120,0:22:52.919
lot of Bible

0:22:52.919,0:22:56.520
study sometime you want something quick

0:22:56.520,0:22:58.520
what they say about this it's very good

0:22:58.520,0:23:00.320
to read the Bible study we commentary we

0:23:00.320,0:23:02.919
learn a lot from this but learn to

0:23:02.919,0:23:05.919
develop build your own correct Bible

0:23:05.919,0:23:08.279
Bible references cross references that

0:23:08.279,0:23:12.200
will help you a lot because this thought

0:23:12.200,0:23:14.480
expressed by this Apostle has been

0:23:14.480,0:23:16.200
expressed by another one in a different

0:23:16.200,0:23:19.320
way and they interconnect themselves and

0:23:19.320,0:23:22.480
number two my personal experience when I

0:23:22.480,0:23:25.200
read for example the Gospel of John now

0:23:25.200,0:23:29.320
John is very deep so when I read John

0:23:29.320,0:23:31.919
after I finish John I will go to First

0:23:31.919,0:23:34.919
John second John third John he has a way

0:23:34.919,0:23:36.400
of expressing the same truth in a

0:23:36.400,0:23:38.799
different way and it will help you to

0:23:38.799,0:23:42.600
get the context and the mind that's why

0:23:42.600,0:23:44.840
if you say key verses you should write

0:23:44.840,0:23:48.080
them write them write them and by you

0:23:48.080,0:23:50.039
you meditate that Bible is always when

0:23:50.039,0:23:52.360
you are praying now holy ghost will use

0:23:52.360,0:23:54.559
that word in your heart to

0:23:54.559,0:23:56.640
pray that's the

0:23:56.640,0:24:00.200
key because when you are praying your

0:24:00.200,0:24:02.720
prayer must be filled with the

0:24:02.720,0:24:04.520
scriptures that's why it says the holy

0:24:04.520,0:24:06.840
spirit will pray for you absolutely was

0:24:06.840,0:24:09.480
you don't understand Spirit prayer okay

0:24:09.480,0:24:11.200
Spirit prayer prayer in the power of the

0:24:11.200,0:24:14.000
Holy Ghost Springs from need what is the

0:24:14.000,0:24:16.279
need at the time of need Holy Ghost will

0:24:16.279,0:24:17.720
bring to your remembrance the very word

0:24:17.720,0:24:20.400
you pray for as you pray the scripture

0:24:20.400,0:24:21.960
will come the scripture will come just

0:24:21.960,0:24:23.760
trust him for

0:24:23.760,0:24:26.760
that we went to a very good school you

0:24:26.760,0:24:28.640
know the same when you have when the

0:24:28.640,0:24:30.399
prophet will call who has message to

0:24:30.399,0:24:32.000
preach to the church

0:24:32.000,0:24:36.360
tomorrow wow you know prepare a message

0:24:36.360,0:24:37.679
and preach to a

0:24:37.679,0:24:39.799
congregation how can it

0:24:39.799,0:24:42.480
be you write your message there's

0:24:42.480,0:24:43.840
something to have a message you prepare

0:24:43.840,0:24:46.640
you write there's another thing to stand

0:24:46.640,0:24:49.159
before the public and to deliver the

0:24:49.159,0:24:51.880
message and by the time you read the

0:24:51.880,0:24:54.000
message you write the message you the

0:24:54.000,0:24:55.679
way you study the Bible you study the

0:24:55.679,0:24:59.760
message you you understanding

0:24:59.760,0:25:02.279
order it by the time you begin to talk

0:25:02.279,0:25:04.720
you realize that new inspiration become

0:25:04.720,0:25:06.799
better than what you wrote the holy

0:25:06.799,0:25:08.039
spirit will give you that's the work of

0:25:08.039,0:25:11.120
holy spirit so when you are reading just

0:25:11.120,0:25:14.080
on your bed try to remember what you

0:25:27.159,0:25:29.480
it and it's like vanished

0:25:29.480,0:25:31.320
that's where you close your eyes and ask

Holy Ghost to help you to remember to

0:25:33.480,0:25:35.840

need sword of the spirit but if the

0:25:41.200,0:25:43.960
heart is empty there's nothing for him

0:25:43.960,0:25:47.159
to remind you of so there are many

0:25:47.159,0:25:48.559
