A man told his pastor that he received no inspiration ... from reading trough the Bible.

His response speaks volumes: "Let it flow through you once," replied the elderly pastor ... "Then you will tell a different story!"

Beloved ... it is so alive that you must not look to read volumes ... but allow each verse ... each chapter to feed you.

(Pick up Bible) These words are so alive ... that our flesh... and the enemy ... are fearful ... that we will even pick up the Scriptures.
