How to Read the Word of God?
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1
I am not a theologian to help you read the word of God. It is always amazing to consult professionals who put so much effort into studying a matter. Theologians do an effort to research and study the word of God and are of great help to us. But also experience is a very good master that helps you extract some guidelines and methods.
“In the beginning was the Word”, the opening verse is simple yet deep. The word of God teaches us about the Word of God and how to do life with him. We see the importance of the word of God with the word “in the beginning”. God wants to show us what’s most important in the world. Reading the word of God starts by realizing that it is the beginning of the world and our world. Nothing happens without it, I mean nothing good happens without it. “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:3
“and the Word was with God”, the second person of the Trinity is in a relationship with the first person of the Trinity. The Word was WITH God! We understand here the psychology of the Word, the second person of the Trinity. Jesus loves relationships! The best way to read the word of God is in the context of a relationship with him. Are you in a consistent relationship with the Lord? Do you read God’s word because you are one with him or for other use? What is the motive force behind your reading? You can read it as a historian, or a doctor, someone looking for truth, someone who needs to be saved, maybe someone who needs a good promise? It is all good. But the best way is to be WITH him as he is WITH God. Jesus, the Word of God, opens up in the safety of a covenant relationship with you. Only a friend can entrust you with his deepest secrets, only a father can extend you an inheritance, etc. “No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.” John 15:15
“and the Word was God”, the attitude of worship, reverence, and submission are key to read and unlock the word of God. The Word was God! Approaching the word of God from this position opens up the portals of revelations over your life! “My flesh trembles in fear of you; I stand in awe of your laws.” Psalms 119:120
Acknowledging the importance, being in a relationship, and a heart of worship are some avenues that will bless the reading of the word of God in your life. Be in a good stand with the author of the bible and he will talk to you nonstop!

What Lies Ahead: A 4 Year Prophecy for the United States.
By Tony Francis.
I was in prayer, positioning myself before our Heavenly Father to hear from Him for the next four years for America. I submit this to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
This is what I feel the Holy Spirit is revealing to me, as someone seasoned in the prophetic for decades:
I sense the Lord has highlighted the word ‘LIFE' for these four coming years. It feels as though America has been under an assignment of death for a while, with various areas like business, social justice, education, and freedom withering. I saw these areas being affected by the spirit of death.
However, I see in the Spirit the rain of life and refreshment pouring out on the land, watering it. I believe the first two years will be about healing and gaining momentum, which should be beautiful and exciting. Don't we get excited when we start seeing our bodies, relationships, and finances healing? We get our hopes up, but healing is not the end goal; it's a step towards something greater! So, the coming two years will be marked by healing and peace, and many people will join forces as one community to facilitate this.
In the last two years, I see America regaining its reputation and the name of the USA having a strong place on the list of global countries once again. A strong presence that influences the course of events!
Therefore, rejoice, and discern the times, seasons, and orders. As believers, let's avoid negative speech and curses. Do not despise the days of small beginnings! You will reach your goals, but there's a specific way, wisdom, and timing to it.
Never say nothing is happening. See the truth of the matter!
I am unbiased and do not engage in politics. My concern is the Kingdom of Jesus, for God so loved the world!
Blessings,
