 Study, Study, and more Study! " All scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness ; that the man of God may be perfect thoughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 It is of utmost importance that you begin a daily life of reading and studying and begin a life of fellowship with other believers. Fellowship with those who are on the same path as you will help to strengthen you, while those on the opposite path will serve to weaken you. If you are one given to addictions, you should minimize your time with those who take part in such and seek God for strength and guidance(also reach out; talk to your Pastor or leader about the issue). Sometimes addictions are hard to overcome, if you fall, get back up! God is there with you to see you through. God says in His word " I will never leave you nor forsake you".-Heb 13:5 Do not overwhelm yourself, it is God who equips you. Use a sensible approach to your studies and allow God to write His word onto your heart. Reading aloud is a great way to learn scriptures, nonetheless however, everyone learns in a different way. - -Rom. 10:17 " Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" in other words, By you hearing the Word of God, your faith will come and increase.
- -Mat. 4:4"Jesus said, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God".-God is telling us as we need natural food for our natural bodies, we also need nourishment for our spiritual bodies. The word of God is the only way to build spiritually. This is how a believer develops and grows in understanding, knowledge and the wisdom of God.
For example,if someone or perhaps yourself was a writer prior to their salvation experience. What happens a lot of times is that God will enhance the individual's gift and use it for His Kingdom; that person may find that the capacity of their writing abilities and ideas may expand, they may have more drive and enthusiasm, and/or if help is needed, a person or thing may be oddly become available to them. God draws out hidden talents as well. Be on the look-out God is always on the job of supplying our every need! Remember to join our Guess list! Bibliography Arnold, Bill T. and Beyer, Bryan E.
