Whenever I read the Bible I pray for the Holy Spirit to help me understand what I'm reading. Then, the Bible seems like it comes to life and its so hard to put in words what that is like. It's like trying to explain to someone what water tastes like. I can explain how it feels, but I would try to encourage someone to try it. Not everyone would be willing to even try it, so then I would pray for them, for I don't believe that forcing them is right either. Well when the Holy Spirit gives me understanding then I need to keep praying because some parts of the Bible is so overwhelming to accept because they may be scary or hard. But I pray about that too, and He then brings me peace and then I can accept even the hard parts of the Bible. This increases my faith, hope and trust in The Lord. It also increases my communion with Him which He loves to have. I have also accepted that I am absolutely nothing without Jesus. My pride used to have a hard time accepting that, and still arises from time to time. But as I grow in understanding and faith, I grow in obedience and hopefully in love.

Everything you have said is perfectly true. It opens up the bible so much more to a person.

MOSES: Surely I have taught you statutes (Acts 2:1/1Cor. 5:7-8) and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, - Deut. 4:5, NKJV


Be careful to keep them. That will show the nations how wise and understanding you are. They will hear about all of those rules. They’ll say, “That great nation certainly has wise and understanding people.” - Deut. 4:6, NIRV



PAUL: So be very careful how you live. Do not live like people who aren’t wise. Live like people who are wise. - Eph. 5:15, NIRV

The Holy Spirit has been there witnessing every word that came from the mouth of God and he also has witness everything that went on in the history of this world. So the Holy Spirit is the best source to receive information from.

John 14:26

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
