As part of the service this weekend, I read a pretty lengthy passage with my friend Santini...Acts 2:1-38. Here's what happened...I put off 'rehearsing' the reading until just before service...we worked out the experience just before Saturday night service. During that rehearsal, something unexpected happened...The Word of God, the story in Acts 2, became alive in me like never ever before. I don't know how else to say it, but I experienced the living breathing active part of Scripture at a next level, wow, Holy Spirit move sort of way. It was palpable. It was awesome.
The question is why? What happened to make that passage that I have read so many times come to such life for me?
All I can figure is that reading aloud-over and over- was the tool God used to awaken those verses...I am so excited to try this out in my own study, reading aloud when there's no one to listen but me and God, and see what else He has for me to experience...to learn.
Just thought I'd share that...maybe you should give His word a shout. Read it loud. ;) Let me know what happens.
