1. A Sample Bible Reading
Plan
This idea came to me from a mentor. I think this is good enough to promote.
Remember, the key to Bible Study is to find things that work for you as well.
No two people will have an identical study, but they may take parts from each
other and use them.
2. Before Reading for the Day
Pray long or anything, but
It does not have to be fancy or
however you pray pray something to the effect of:
I am going to read your word today.
Speak to me about anything
If not then have me read to where you want me to read to in
the Bible
3. Start Reading with...
The Gospel of John
Then read through the rest of the New Testament until
you read through Revelation
Then read through the Old Testament starting with
Genesis until you get to the New Testament
Then Read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and return to
John then start over
4. Now Read Until God Gets
Your attention
You will want to read until you feel a tug or a pull or an
attraction to a particular verse.
Stop reading here.
5. Now ask God...
Why did you get my attention with this verse?
Is There anything I should do about it?
And if so, when and how?
6. Now ask God...
Is this an instruction to do something?
Or to stop doing something?
7. And finally, ask God if
This verse is a promise from Him
You should probably record these promises in
something... especially if they are a promise of
something to come so that you can check it off when it
happens
They can also be used as a reminder for things in your life
8. Write down the Scripture
And the promise (if there was one)
The next day start with the next verse
9. You may not...
Have God speak to you about a verse
Or You may not have anything for an instruction
Or a verse may not be a promise for you (at least at
the point you are reading it).
At another point a verse that was not a promise then, may
be a promise for you now.
10. If God does not get Your
attention
Then read until you do not feel like reading anymore
God may want you to get ahead for something He wants to
speak to you about tomorrow
Or it could even be 10 years from now or more. God will
know where you will be in 10+ years so if one day He does
not speak to you while reading (or even several days) it is
possible he may want you to be somewhere later on.
11. A Few Samples of mine
I will list how I have been recording things while
reading this plan
This plan is new for me, but I have been doing it for
nearly 3 weeks now.
So far I am still in John chapter 3.
God has been speaking to me a lot in this chapter
12. Just remember
God will not speak to two people the same way.
God may get your attention with a verse that I
posted... but he will not speak about it identically with
mine as me and you are in different places and different
experiences with the world, people, God, etc.
13. John 1:9
John 1:9
The true light that gives light to every man was coming into
the world (NIV)
14. Why did God get my attention?
Because this light (Jesus) has come to me, and is in
me, and I have received it
15. What Should I do about it?
Continue to receive the light and continue to believe the
light. Continue to cling to Jesus’ light and the darkness
of the enemy will (and has less effect on me even
currently) will become as if it has ceased
16. When, and How?
This is happening now and will continue to happen more
and more as I continue to walk towards the light and
receive it more and more
17. Is this an instruction to do or stop
doing something?
This is an instruction to continue to believe in Jesus
18. Is this a promise?
Yes, because Jesus is saying that I have been and
continue to receive His light, the less and less the enemy
will have power over me.
19. John 3:19
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but
men loved the darkness instead of light because their
deeds were evil.
20. Why did God get my attention?
To remind me of the struggle that exists in myself in how
there are parts of me that love the darkness, but want the
light. I cannot have both the light and darkness.
21. What should I do about it?
Choose the light and cling to it and get rid of the
darkness. Get to the point where I hate the darkness
22. Is this an instruction to do or stop
Doing something?
Stop trying to have both. I cannot have both. It is
either one or the other.
