How I study (By Laura Grace) To me, learning from God is a 24 hour a day thing. I ask God to teach me what he wants to talk to me about (since he is my Father) and I've been doing this for a long time now. I chew on what he gives me and ponder it and ask him questions. I write it down.
Sometimes when I ask for understanding or more clarification about something it doesn't come to me for days and then all of a sudden the lights go on or I can feel or sense that voice... of many waters talking to me. Things "coming to me" all at once like when I first got saved and I started to just "KNOW" things. Now When I hear a good preacher I know it because God has already indicated some of those things to me and his words bear witness to what God has already said (the sheep know his voice amen?) and Pruning is when there are unnecessary or dead things that need to be trimmed away like things I have added my own understanding (or someone else's)

And: we all have different callings and gifts although we are ALL called to Grow (see Ephesians) we all grow up toward the Head which is Jesus Christ. The things God teaches us will help us with our everyday lives, our circle of friends and family, our jobs, our individual "posts" if you will. It stands to reason that we cannot get everything we need from one Sunday Sermon each week although we do love to gather together. There are many of you that can testify on God's faithfulness from everything to asking for a good deal on a car, having patience and having it happen to him leading you to say a clothing sale (like I did) because you wanted a new shirt!
Now we are not going to start a group "how to get deals' but I've had God help me create new recipes from what I had in my cupboard (just because I asked him) and see why I have faith is my faith is exercised from day to day in small things, and I gather more testimonies and I ask him to help with more things, and I gather more testimonies and this is how I grow (in part) and get strong in the Lord. I also eat my vegetables and drink my milk (the word of God) and I don't strive to be a know it all I actually "eat" (chew on) and swallow the word of God. He is the Bread of Life!
Well that's just a small sample of what I do everyday ........(every day) ...all day long!
This is all part of being IN HIM and IN THE LIGHT and he wants everyone to have this abundant life where he walks with you and talks with you and shows you things and reveals things (to you) and the more you treasure his words the more he will give you!
Its' awesome, wonderful ..........Completely AWESOME!!! and before you know it you are so excited seeking the Kingdom first all the other things do fall into place and well I thought I would share this ......now it's hard to stop but this is getting long.
