Bible Note: Dear Mother, While it is good to hear what others have to say, it is important to understand that any book written by a man or woman is merely their interpretations or suggestions of what they believe. In the Bible we are told to study the Word of God with each other and help each other grow in the love of Christ through the Word but we must always go back to the Word to check what we have heard and if it is true. Please read the following verse from Isaiah 55:2, Isa 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. In the above verse, I would apply this to all books we read that are not the Word of God. God says you spend money and read what I have not written and you will not be satisfied within your soul. The Word of God is the only bread that fills our souls, not bread or words from men or women. Please read the following from Jeremiah, Jer 17:5-7 5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. KJV The Hebrew word for heart in Jer 17:5 is leb and is being figuratively used for the intellect which is in your mind, as follows, leb (labe); a form of OT:3824; the heart; also used (figuratively) very widely for the feelings, the will and even the intellect; likewise for the centre of anything: Put all your trust and burdens in this life, into the Word of God, the Bible, and you will be healed. Put away mans teaching and focus on the Word. Ask the Father for wisdom before you read and thank Him after you read. He knows your heart and your thoughts and knows everything you need, even before you know it yourself. God says ask and you shall receive. If you want to enter into His will and find what He has for you start with repentance and study diligently in His Word not mans and you will be cleansed from the inside out. He will heal your comprehension disorder if you stick to His Word and not give up. My hope and prayers go out to you and search. Also, as others have said, there are concordance dictionaries which tell you where each word in the Bible is used and what the word was in the original language which every student should have. You say you do not know what He has for you, but I think you are already on the right path if you are searching His will and that is exactly what He wants from us all. God is love and there are no methods to love, but to read the love letter He wrote to you with a open and ready mind and you will be cleansed of ailments, blemishes and spots. When cleansed from within you will comprehend and shine on the outside and give love to all you meet. Please read chapter by chapter and verse by verse and the Old Testament and New Testament, for man lives by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Bless you, Love Fountain |
