All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. (Romans 15:4)

If He called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— (John 10:35)

Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. (Acts 17:11)

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19)

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” (John 7:37-38)

Then He said to them, “These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” (Luke 24:44)

Ask God to answer these questions.

1. What does it mean to you that all Scripture is breathed out by God?
2. Why does the Bible tell you to meditate on Scripture day and night?
3. How did the Holy Spirit write the Bible through people?
4. Why does the Bible say Scripture cannot be broken? What does that mean?
5. Why does the Bible warn you not to add or take away from what God says?

Bonus questions:

1. Joshua 1:8 says “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night. We now understand that human effort cannot obey God’s law. We fail. How does the law of faith and grace overcome the law of sin and death?
2. What does Matthew 5:18 mean when it says not even the smallest part of the Law will pass away until all is accomplished?
3. How do you understand the statement that no prophecy of Scripture comes from personal interpretation?
4. Why is it important for you to examine the Scriptures and test everything you hear against them?

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.

Learn to stand in God’s presence and hear His voice. Then teach others to do the same.
