"I've learned through my own relationship with God that He's not expecting me to be perfect; He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart."
–Joyce Meyer.
We, human beings, have this void inside of us that makes us feel like something is missing in our lives. We try to fill this void by adopting habits or doing things that make us fulfill this void temporarily. But the problems lie here when we try to feed our souls junk food instead of the purest form of food that our soul needs.
So, let us tell you what the right kind of food is for your soul. We all know that our souls yearn for a place near God, but that's only possible after our death and when we will be reborn for the afterlife. But till that time, God has given something so precious to us in order to build a connection with Him during our days here. That specific gift from God is the Bible. The Bible is a book that carries the answers to our questions and guidance for our routine life and its problems. But the problem is that we, human beings, get lost while having a guidebook near us.
You may be wondering how a book revealed years before can solve our problems and direct us in the right direction. How can it fill the unknown feeling of void inside us? But let us deliver this to you, a secret of the Bible. The Bible was revealed to Jesus, but the subject of this precious book is each and every human being living in this world.
In order to feel the essence of this book and take our lesson, we need to fully understand it and delve into the lessons it provides us. If you think that this book is all about the dos and don’ts of a religion, then you are mistaken because the Bible offers you much more than that.
Let me introduce you to one such individual who wholeheartedly responded to the Voice of God, and he understood that the Bible is the most precious gift gifted to us by God. John Matthew Powell was an IT professional for more than 25 years. But on the other hand, his heart is fully devoted to understanding and living by the Voice of God. His heart is focused on three crucial things in his life, i.e., Christian ministry, Bible, and Theology.
Powell has extensive knowledge of the Bible and Theology. He has a Bachelor's degree of Arts in Bible and Theology, along with a Master of Arts in Theological Studies and a Ph.D. in Bible Exposition. He also has a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Information Technology.
Powell is involved in Personal Counseling, Christian ministry, Bible preaching, and teaching in a Local Church and is the Pastor of Bethesda House of Faith. He had extensive knowledge and expertise of about 33 Years in Christian Ministry.
Powell has made it his mission to speak out against the theories and systems, such as the theory of evolution and the Big Bang theory, that go against the clear Biblical teachings of creation. Powell believes that the only thing that keeps us away from learning the understanding of the Bible is the Satanic act of Satan. Satan makes us believe that the Bible was changed and rewritten. It makes our faith and belief in the Bible weaken, and people think that it is untrustworthy. Satan makes us believe that it was written by human beings who Holy Spirit inspired it.
But the truth is that the Bible is unique from every other book. Powell says when God moved men to write the Bible, he moved upon them in a way that guided them on what to write. Satan is our only enemy in this world that we cannot see or fight with. He doesn't want us to understand the book of God as he will be defeated if humankind doesn't go on the right path. So, as Powell says, we shouldn't give in to this trick of Satan; instead, we should learn and interpret the Bible and make it part of our lives.
