Psalm 23 ~ KJV
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

PART 2 / 5
UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYING THROUGH SCRIPTURE
Recognizing the power of prayer
Prayer is a powerful tool that allows us to communicate with God and seek His guidance, provision, and intervention in our lives.
When we pray, we are acknowledging our dependence on God and inviting Him to work in and through us.
It is a way to express our faith and trust in Him and to experience His love and grace firsthand.
Praying through Scripture adds an additional layer of power to our prayers, as we are aligning our thoughts and desires with the Word of God.
REALIZING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ENGAGING WITH SCRIPTURE
Engaging with Scripture is essential for our spiritual growth and development.
The Bible is Godโs written word, and it contains wisdom, guidance, and truths that can transform our lives.
As we immerse ourselves in Scripture, we gain a deeper understanding of Godโs character, His plans for us, and the principles that He wants us to live by.
By praying through Scripture, we are not only reading the words on the page, but we are also actively engaging with what God is saying to us.
COMBINING PRAYER AND SCRIPTURE FOR A DEEPER SPIRITUAL CONNECTION
When we combine prayer and Scripture, we create a powerful synergy that deepens our connection with God.
Praying through Scripture allows us to speak Godโs words back to Him, reminding ourselves of His promises, His faithfulness, and His unfailing love.
It strengthens our faith and helps us align our desires with His will.
Moreover...
Praying through Scripture opens our hearts to receive divine insights and prompts the Holy Spirit to speak to us more clearly.
It is a means of not only talking to God but also of listening to Him
PREPARING YOURSELF FOR PRAYING THROUGH SCRIPTURE
Finding a quiet and comfortable space
To fully engage in praying through Scripture, it is essential to find a quiet and comfortable space where you can focus and minimize distractions.
This could be a corner in your home, a park, or any place where you feel at peace.
Clear away any clutter that might hinder your concentration and create an atmosphere of calmness and tranquility.
SETTING ASIDE DEDICATED TIME FOR PRAYER
Just as finding the right physical environment is crucial, setting aside dedicated time for prayer is equally important.
Life can often get busy and chaotic, but carving out a specific time slot for prayer demonstrates your commitment to prioritize your relationship with God.
It can be in the morning, during your lunch break, or before you go to bed โ choose a time that works best for you and stick to it.
CULTIVATING A RECEPTIVE HEART AND MIND
Before beginning to pray through Scripture, take a moment to calm your mind and open your heart to receive what God wants to reveal to you.
Practice deep breathing or engage in a few moments of silent meditation to clear your thoughts and focus your attention on God.
Allow yourself to become fully present in the moment, surrendering any distractions or worries to Him.
SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE SCRIPTURE
Choosing a specific book, chapter, or passage
The Bible contains 66 books, each with its unique message and purpose.
When praying through Scripture, it helps to choose a specific book, chapter, or passage to focus on.
Consider selecting a book that addresses a particular theme or one that you feel drawn to explore. Alternatively, you can follow a reading plan or devotional guide that provides daily passages for meditation and prayer.
FINDING RELEVANT VERSES BASED ON PERSONAL NEEDS OR CIRCUMSTANCES
Another approach to selecting scripture for prayer is to find relevant verses based on your personal needs or circumstances.
Are you seeking guidance, comfort, or strength?
Are you facing a specific challenge in your life?
Pray for the Holy Spiritโs guidance as you search the Bible for verses that speak directly to your situation.
Godโs Word has the power to bring hope, encouragement, and transformation to every aspect of your life.

USING A DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OR PRAYER BOOK FOR INSPIRATION
Sometimes...
It can be helpful to use a devotional guide or prayer book for inspiration when praying through Scripture.
These resources often provide daily readings and prayers that are rooted in Scripture, helping to enhance your prayer experience.
They offer insightful commentary and prompts that can deepen your understanding and application of the chosen scripture.
READING AND MEDITATING ON THE CHOSEN SCRIPTURE
Read the selected Scripture several times to absorb its message
Once you have chosen the scripture for your prayer, read it several times to allow the words to sink in and absorb their message.
Your initial reading may be focused on comprehension, but subsequent readings should aim to internalize and personalize the scripture.
Let each word and phrase resonate with you, and consider the emotions, thoughts, or memories it evokes.
Reflect on the words and phrases that resonate with you
As you read and meditate on the chosen scripture, pay attention to the words and phrases that resonate with you.
These can become focal points for your prayer and contemplation.
Ask yourself why these particular words or phrases are meaningful to you, and how they connect to your own experiences, desires, or challenges.
Reflecting on them will deepen your engagement with the scripture and bring you closer to God.
CONSIDER THE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXTS OF THE SCRIPTURE
To fully grasp the meaning and significance of the scripture you are praying through, it is helpful to consider its historical and cultural context.
Understanding the authorโs intent, the audience it was written for, and the events surrounding its composition can shed light on its deeper meanings and implications.
Research the historical and cultural background, consult commentaries or trusted resources, and allow this knowledge to enrich your prayer experience.
IDENTIFYING PERSONAL APPLICATION AND REFLECTION
Relate the Scripture to your own life
Once you have read and meditated on the chosen scripture, relate it to your own life.
How does it speak to your current circumstances, challenges, or aspirations?
Are there areas in your life where you need to align your thoughts and actions with the truths revealed in the scripture?
Personal application involves not only understanding the scripture intellectually but also allowing it to shape your attitudes, choices, and relationships.
SEARCH FOR PRACTICAL INSIGHTS AND LESSONS
Beyond personal application, search for practical insights and lessons that the scripture offers.
The Bible contains wisdom that can inform your decision-making, relationships, and overall lifestyle.
Ask yourself how you can practically apply the principles and teachings found in the scripture to your everyday life.
Godโs Word is intended to guide and transform us, so explore how it can lead you to live a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
JOURNAL OR TAKE NOTES TO RECORD PERSONAL REVELATIONS
To capture and remember the personal revelations and insights you gain through praying through scripture, consider journaling or taking notes.
Writing down your thoughts, reflections, and prayers not only helps you process your experiences but also allows you to revisit them later.
Your journal or notes can become a valuable resource for future reflection, a reminder of Godโs faithfulness, and a testament to your spiritual growth over time.
FORMING PERSONAL PRAYERS AROUND THE SCRIPTURE
Use the Scripture as a basis for your prayers
When praying through scripture, let the scripture itself become the foundation for your prayers.
Take the words and concepts from the scripture and weave them into your own prayers.
Use them to express your gratitude, seek Godโs guidance, and offer your requests.
By anchoring your prayers in scripture, you are aligning your heart and mind with Godโs will and inviting Him to work powerfully in your life.

ADDRESS SPECIFIC ISSUES OR CONCERNS REVEALED THROUGH THE SCRIPTURE
As you engage with the scripture...
You may become aware of specific issues or concerns in your life that need addressing.
These could be areas where you need healing, forgiveness, or breakthrough.
Use the scripture as a guide to articulate these concerns and bring them before God.
Allow the scripture to shape your prayers and empower you to approach God with confidence, knowing that He cares deeply for you.
EXPRESS GRATITUDE, CONFESSION, SUPPLICATION, AND INTERCESSION
In addition...
To addressing specific issues, make space in your prayers for expressions of gratitude, confession, supplication, and intercession.
Thanksgiving allows you to acknowledge Godโs goodness and faithfulness in your life.
Confession leads to repentance and restoration.
Supplication involves bringing your personal needs and desires before God.
Intercession extends your prayers beyond yourself, lifting up the needs of others.
By incorporating these elements into your prayers, you create a well-rounded and balanced prayer practice.
PRACTICING CONTEMPLATION AND SILENCE
Embrace moments of silence to listen for Godโs guidance
As you pray through scripture, it is crucial to embrace moments of silence to listen for Godโs guidance.
Prayer is meant to be a two-way conversation, and silence provides the space for God to speak to your heart.
Cultivate a calm and receptive posture, letting go of your own agenda and simply being present with God.
Be attentive to any impressions, thoughts, or promptings that arise during these silent moments, as they may be Godโs way of communicating with you.
ALLOW THE SCRIPTURE TO SPEAK TO YOUR HEART WITHOUT WORDS
Contemplation involves allowing the scripture to speak to your heart without relying solely on words.
As you meditate on the chosen scripture, allow yourself to move beyond intellectual understanding and engage on a deeper, more intuitive level.
Let the scripture penetrate your soul, stirring emotions, sparking inspiration, and evoking a sense of awe and wonder.
Embrace the transformative power of the scripture as it impacts your innermost being.
DEEPER YOUR CONNECTION WITH GOD THROUGH QUIET REFLECTION
Quiet reflection is a vital component of praying through scripture.
It allows you to deepen your connection with God and strengthens your relationship with Him.
Take the time to reflect on what you have read and prayed, allowing the scripture to illuminate your understanding of God and His ways.
Use this opportunity to express gratitude, seek clarification, or simply bask in the presence of the Lord.
Quiet reflection keeps your heart attuned to Godโs voice and nurtures a more intimate connection with Him.
BEING OPEN TO DIVINE INTERRUPTIONS AND INSIGHTS
Stay open to unexpected thoughts or ideas during prayer
Prayer is not a one-sided conversation but a dynamic exchange between you and God.
As you pray through scripture...
Stay open to unexpected thoughts or ideas that may surface during your prayer time.
Be aware that the Holy Spirit may bring to mind something unrelated to the scripture but relevant to your current situation.
Stay attentive and receptive, recognizing that these divine interruptions and insights are opportunities for growth and deeper intimacy with God.
WELCOME DIVINE INTERRUPTIONS WITH a RECEPTIVE ATTITUDE
When divine interruptions occur during your prayer, welcome them with a receptive attitude.
It is easy to get caught up in the flow of our own thoughts and requests, but these interruptions may be Godโs way of redirecting our attention or revealing something important.
Instead of dismissing them...
Embrace them as invitations to broaden your perspective, receive fresh revelation, or experience a shift in your prayer focus.
Godโs interruptions often hold profound insights that can transform your prayer life.

In his 2nd letter to the Thessalonians, Paul was addressing Christians who were facing severe persecution and pressure. He was writing to correct a misunderstanding which was causing them to think that the day of the Lord, when the wrath of God is poured out on a sinful world, had begun! Paul was writing to allay the fear that they had somehow missed the resurrection of the dead and the gathering together of Christ's Church~age saints to Himself ~ the Rapture.
The days were so evil and the persecution so severe, that the saints in Thessalonica were distraught because they had been led to believe that they had missed being gathered to Christ. Paul's earlier teaching on the dead in Christ being resurrected and the living saints being raptured, changed in the twinkling of an eye at the trump of God, had been confused with the Second Coming of Christ to the earth when He will topple Satan's evil world system, bring in everlasting righteousness, seal up prophecy, and set up His Millennial rule on earth.
When a doctrinal error enters into the gospel of God, it can dig its roots deeply into hearts of believers. Paul wrote his epistle to correct this error which sadly, has become a cause of increasing conflict within the Body of Christ in these last days. At the start of chapter 2, Paul identifies the topic under discussion ~ the resurrection of the dead in Christ and the Rapture of the Church: "The coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to Him."
Paul takes 12 verses to show, step by step, the exact progression of end~times events ~ which starts with our being gathered to Christ and continues through the Time of Jacob's Trouble, to the point when Jesus returns in power and great glory to set up His earthly kingdom. It then carries on into the future for 1000 years, after which God creates a new heaven and a new earth. The first few verses give a general overview while the later verses expand on Paul's introductory prรฉcis.
Paul reassured these worried saints that the 'Day~of~the~Lord' which will usher in the prophesied time of judgement ~ and which precedes the Millennial reign of Christ, will not come until the man of sin is revealed. He explained that God's wrath was not being poured out on them, even though there were going through much persecution ~ because the man of sin had yet to arrive on the scene. The rebellious man of sin and Satan's evil plans were being held back by the prayers of the saints in Paul's day... and the man of sin and Satan's evil plans are continuing to be restrained today. The Restrainer is the Holy Spirit ~ working within the Body of Christ through the prayers of the Saints.
Sadly however, some interpretations of 2nd Thessalonians are only based on the initial summary statement and ignore the later verses which show that the Holy Spirit is restraining evil and suppressing the rise of the man of sin... and He is doing His restraining work through the prayers of Christians who are members of Christ's Body and His earthly ambassadors and representatives.
Once that restraining Body is removed THEN, and only then, will the man of sin be revealed. Only after the Restrainer is removed, will the man of sin be identified and enabled by Satan to carry out his nefarious deeds and perform many lying signs and ungodly wonders ~ until he is overthrown by the breath of Christ, at His Second Coming.
Once the Rapture takes place, the restraining work of God through the prayers of the saints will cease, allowing the Antichrist to finally rise to power and usher in world domination. The Day of the Lord, spoken of by the prophets of old which incorporates both Daniel's 70th week (the 7 year Tribulation) AND the 1000 year Millennial reign of Christ, does not refer to the Rapture of the Church. However, the restraining impact of the indwelling Holy Spirit through the prayers of those saints, is holding back the outpouring of God's wrath on a Christ~rejecting sinful world.
We look forward to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him.

~ Ezekiel 44:23
Instructs priests to teach the people the difference between what is holy and what is common, and to help them discern between what is clean and unclean.
This involves more than just knowing religious laws
It requires the ability to apply those laws to everyday life and make distinctions between what is acceptable to God and what is not
Distinguish between things dedicated to God's service and those used for ordinary purposes
Ritual purity and impurity, which were important in ancient Israelite worship and daily life
The priests were to be the teachers of these distinctions, ensuring the people understood God's laws and how to apply them to your life
Distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, is crucial for living a life pleasing to God
