The key to the book (the Bible) is Jesus.
I heard this statement this morning. I asked to whom I was speaking, and the man said: George Seferis. George was a Greek Nobel laureate, the first Greek to be given the Nobel Prize for Literature. I did some research and found his ‘hardly conventional’ religious views and actions relatable. He translated Song of Songs and Revelation into Modern Greek, and he had contemplated becoming a monk at least twice. And that is only a minimal analysis of his credentials…
Hearing those words from someone who assumedly is ‘in Heaven’ was inspirational. The statement has many meanings; here is how I might paraphrase it:
Jesus was the only religious leader to come from Heaven. While on earth, he revealed to us ‘God’s Will’ in as direct a method as ever could be, in the ‘fullness of the image of God.’
I encourage people to strengthen their lives and their outlook on the afterlife by reading the Bible, and I am not necessarily talking longer, just more frequently. I read 7-10 minutes a day, at least five days a week. I also have prescribed to clients to read Psalms, Scripture and prayers aloud as needed to defend them when experiencing spiritual warfare. I use this myself with much success.
Several studies have shown that reading the Bible frequently lowered the odds of engaging in harmful behaviors, and increased the contentment and joy in life. I will vouch for that fact. Since I began reading more frequently, it has changed many things in my life, to include the addition of many miraculous actions.
I also will vouch for ‘reading from the Bible or saying prayers aloud’ in the home as a powerful means of casting out evil from your body and your home.
