In John 7:37-38, the Bible says we will have the Holy Spirit like a flowing river out of our innermost beings. Think about that! Can you feel His presence now? John 10:35 tells us “the Scripture cannot be broken,” and 2 Peter 1:20-21 declares “no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation.” We don’t get to interpret the meaning of any part of Scripture. Only the Holy Spirit can reveal the meaning of Scripture or anything else.

Satan hates the Bible. He has been working hard to try to discredit it. Every branch of science was started by Bible believers, and yet, the devil has distorted science. The devil made rules for science so every scientist is supposed to say God doesn’t do anything. Scientists who openly give glory to God could lose their jobs and be unemployed. The devil has turned science into an anti-God religion. Since the scientists have made a rule that God can’t be the reason for anything, they can use circular reasoning to conclude that God can’t be the reason for anything. In reality, God is the reason for everything. He enforces all the laws of science. Otherwise, everything would be all mixed up, and science would be impossible. The schools and the media have been acting like a lying false prophet for a long, long time, so we must be careful about trusting them. We must obey the Holy Spirit Who tells us to trust the Bible.

We can trust the Bible, but we don’t worship the Bible. We worship God. We could get mixed up because so many Scriptures talk about the word of God, and we might think they’re talking about the Bible. When the Bible uses the term “the word of God,” it’s always using language that means God is speaking to us.

Ask God to answer these questions.

1. How can you have the Holy Spirit flowing like a river out of your innermost being all day every day?
2. What does it mean to you that the Holy Spirit is like a flowing river?
3. How do you know what the Bible really means?
4. Why does Satan hate the Bible?
5. How did science get changed by the devil?

Bonus questions:

1. Why aren’t scientists allowed to say God is the reason for anything?
2. Why do you worship God and not the Bible?
3. What strategies does Satan use to discredit Scripture?

Extra Credit:

1. By the mid-19^th century, naturalism (God doesn’t do anything), materialism (the idea that neither God nor anything spiritual exists), and uniformitarianism (the idea that everything continues from the beginning as it is now, so no creation event or global flood with Noah and the Ark) had become dogmatically held beliefs or assumptions in most scientific fields. The ideas of molecules to humanity evolution and billions of years also became part of the belief system. Some say these are axioms of science that are not to be questioned, and every new observation must be interpreted according to this confirmation bias. Why has this set up a condition where questioning these anti-God assumptions is considered evil and wrong even though these assumptions are nothing but unsupported claims that have no basis in reality?
2. Since the prevailing assumptions used in science tend to turn science into an anti-God religion, how can Christians reconcile science and faith in a way that honors God without compromising with Satan?
3. Since the Bible always refers to God speaking when it talks about “God’s word” and most theologians have missed this, what is the distinction between believing the Bible and worshiping God Himself?

1. Pray for the Lord to protect you and keep you in His presence and His presence only.
2. Direct your mind toward the Lord only.
3. Ask God what He want’s to talk about.
4. You can ask God any questions. In all of this, be led by the Holy Spirit. God promises that He will answer you if you ask Him.
5. Do not edit or change what God says even if you don’t understand it.
6. Reject the lies and receive the truth.
7. Take notes.
8. Transfer your notes to your journal without editing what God said to you.

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.
