Awesome, awesome, awesome! I'm old enough to be your father, almost your grandpa, and this truly ministered to me! Keep it up, you have a very strong calling on your life, my brother!
Thank you so much for the kind words, it’s very gratifying to hear that. All praise to God
@fernandom5372
I was thinking the same thing!! Although, I'm old enough to be his mom...or grandma. Lol. Blessed young man there!❤
You can also watch read along audio bible kjv i have it with background worship piano music on my channel or you can find it in several places but it alowes you to listen and even read at the same time for hours really good stuff.
focus on the words of Christ.
bless the truth in your souls in Jesus name.
Praise God.
This whole thread has ministered to me.
I’m thankful to see such a moving exchange between you all ❤
@@holyresolution wow thanks 🙏 just subscribed 😊
I went through being so consumed with social media, and my electronics I lost the desire to read the bible, and never gave the bible time or much attention, and it was just a check off when I did read it, nothing serious. Well, I prayed and cried out to God to give me the love and desire for his word again, and he did! Im doing the chronological bible reading and loving every bit of it, and learning a lot. I thank Jesus for giving me a love to read and know his heart through reading his word again. All glory to him. Thanks for sharing.
Glory to God! Thank you for sharing your testimony I have been struggling with the same thing! I have been praying that God also awaken in me a hunger for his word!
What do you mean by chronological bible reading?
@@OnlyOneNamechronological bible reading is reading the books of the Bible based on either when they were written timeline wise or just in order like Genesis through Malachi (old testament) or Matthew through revelation (new testament)
Yeah, I cut that media OUT. I know ppl will still use it, and that’s fine. I personally feel it too influential .. turned it off just to take a “break” but honestly just feel like never going back. It’s too much fo me
@@Slothian-ry3hf ah, thank you. Book by book, not randomly.
Emotions won’t drive you to read, but reading will get you emotional
The Bible is a hyperlink text which means information from the others books are essentials to understand each other
Memorize Bible verses to enrich your spiritual life
Reading mixed with prayer will greatly improve comprehension and understanding God
Thanks for the video! I'm going to use it.
I'm 75 and starting to have problems remembering my name! Seriously, I always had problems memorizing things, so when I tried to memorize Scripture, I felt like a failure compared to others in my study group. But, I realized that knowing what the Scripture meant was where the value was. I no longer feel ashamed about my inability to quote chapter and verse. I do feel much closer to God through the understanding of His Word. Blessings everyone! :)
Talk to your doctor about starting you on aricept. May the Lord protect your mind.
I have the same problem. I have ADHD due to having to get A's in school. I'd read a paragraph and forget what I read because in the back of my mind a voice is yelling you better get an A! I was told I have performance anxiety. I'm better now but nothing like those who are relaxed and absorb what they read.
Amen
yea im blown-away that peaople can just pull exact lines and scripture and X and Y numbered passage in this book, while me im just saying "the bible says this" in my own words......
Amen!
I literally was at my wit ends in my depressive episode and literally prayed God “the Devil is trying to take me out and I need help.” I did not mean to click on your video while doomscrolling but by accident here I am. I’ve been struggling to read my Bible due to work, life, and,depression but now I know to help me to get out of this episode. I need to read the Word. Praise be to God😭🙏🏾
Jesus said, pray without ceasing, trust in the Lord, remember the devil was defeated at the cross
Amen, wishing the best for you sister 🙏
"I didn't mean to click on your video", so many times I find that when you're doing to most to stay close to God (& getting attacked)... God will use your hand & you'll read/watch something that He leads you too. I realized "I didn't mean to...BUT GOD showed up❤
Not an accident - divine direction 🙏🏻
I promise you reading the Bible , studying it, is a game changer. Don’t wait until you feel like it. Just start. He sent you here for a reason.Bless. ❤
i started reading it again too. this time i went in with the mindset of “what can i learn from this” rather than “i have to read this to gain God’s favor or else i’m sinning if i don’t” and a simple shift has helped me to appreciate it far more.
Am still suffering from that mindset if trying to gain favor from God and feeling like a sinner if i dont read but i know God will help me change
@@chikomboreromujinga I no longer see God as a being that tallys up all of our sins and keeps track of everything we do that is wrong. This is what man made religion wants us to believe so we will be afraid and submit to this mindset of fear in order for them to gain control over us. I see God as infinite love and my greatest guide. Yes there is such thing as sin but God wouldn’t punish us for them. Sin is anything that pulls you away from your highest good or hinders your relationship with God. Like if you drink and get drunk all the time, that’s obviously going to impair your relationship with the divine because it’s damaging your mind body and spirit and you can’t reach your highest self that way. You will live in “hell” because behaviors like that will bring you suffering. But God is there always, patient and wants a relationship with you, it’s just up to us to want one with God as well. God understands the pain of humans (he became one) and so to punish us would be hypocritical. If no one were hurting, or if everyone was in their highest state of being there would be no sin or wrong only love. So I genuinely believe that you don’t have to follow any rules in order to gain favor with God because you already have favor. The Bible is just a tool for us to use if we want to use it to connect with God. We don’t HAVE to read it and we won’t go to hell if we don’t. (I suggest checking out the channel “Aaron Abke” on RUclips, his videos have helped me a lot with this).
LOL, God doesn't want you to visit him out of duty. It's a living relationship. Just be honest with him. Ask him what he wants to say to you and just open your bible. It is his communication to you. Bible reading goes hand in hand with prayer. You don't want to do all the talking do you? God speaks to us through his Word. We should hear him too. That's all there is to it. It's not about fear and duty. It's just how relationships are done. Of course if you want a successful relationship with anyone, it can't all be one-sided.
Yes i have indeed changed the mindset what I could based off what I need to learn
I woke up just now and felt the holy spirit saying you can read your bible! And I didn’t feel much desire to, though it’s early, I’m awake and have every reason. I opened my phone as I often do and prayed God would give me help to change this and this was the first video that popped up
Wow!
That's how God works!!
Praise god
You can also watch read along audio bible kjv i have it with background worship piano music on my channel or you can find it in several places but it alowes you to listen and even read at the same time for hours really good stuff.
focus on the words of Christ.
bless the truth in your souls in Jesus name.
YOU FELT what?you felt nothing dude. stop it, get some help.
...that moment when you realize that feeling of dread isn't because you HAVE to go pray, it's because you haven't prayed. 🙌 Great video. I like to find scripture for each bullet point on my prayer list too.
And then because you feel bad about not reading it, it makes you want to read it even less sometimes. It’s weird 😕
I’m so grateful our Father is so patient!

Every night when I'm going to bed I always put my audio bible on, I have started to have dreams when sleeping something that I never used to have. Listening to the Audio Bible is such an awesome experience all the lusts and addictions that I had, have completely vanished. The word of God is POWERFUL.
Do you listen to it with headphones when you sleep...
@obiejeucheoma8576 nope, just with the phone loudspeaker.
@@michaelmuiruri3623 oh okay thanks
Started reading the Bible for the first time and just read the book of Matthew
Dont stop.
Congratulations, your first step to cultish nothing.
God bless! Praying for your welfare 🙏
Gospel of Matthew is so Fun you will love reading the new testament and old testament is fun too
Matthew is my favorite book. I love his detail. So proud of you!! nice work!! keep it going!!
This is the first video I've seen of you and I just gotta say it feels like I'm hearing from a friend at a bible study. So casual and honest, no frills, just truth with a touch of lounge music. Keep doing what you're doing man!
Ditto that!! EXACTLY!!! Well said.
I prayed about this two nights ago and asked God for help and here we are, popped right up.
Same here!
I was wondering about how to love reading Scriptures just a few hours ago and stumbled upon this! God is truly amazing ❤

See how He works? Now, don't forget!
I'm proud of you Orlando. To hear a young man talk about how you love the Word of God, and what it means to you is such a blessing. Lord Bless You
Memorizing scripture helps me in prayer so much. When you are praying about a matter, you remember scriptures relating to the matter and are able to pray into more well equipped. It also helps, memorizing the Psalms, in worship. Tell God that you know who He is through the word is awesome.
Catholic here, praying with scripture, what we call “lectio divina” is something I think God is calling me to improve a lot, this video popped up at the right time. ✝️
I found 2 scriptures in the Bible that go well together. You can actually pray over them as well. For me it was like starting a new journey where no one else exists besides you and the Lord!
Deuteronomy 4:15-16
Exodus 20:4-5
It certainly boggles the mind when you put these two verses together!
@@tototo287 Numbers 21:8-9
Exodus 25: 18
The prohibition is against making for worship and to worship
Not aiding in worship of the one true God.
If I really wanted straw man you I could say that you care about the Bible so much you worship it. But that’s not true.
Studying scripture is a discipline. Once you start learning it becomes more fascinating, you pray, do word studies, it all opens up to you and makes you pray for wisdom over everything else. I collect bibles and start a new one after completing my last! I love study bibles and dictionaries. I study during my commutes too! God bless.
i dont remember who said this but it really helped me, "remember, once there's a moment you dont feel like reading it, that is when u must read it" it has a bigger impact in my language, i dont know how to translate it right 😭 so everytime i feel lazy and lie down on my bed ready to sleep, ill remember that word and sit back up again groggily like a tired zombie and read lmao
The fact that i was praying to God about this . And to see that God listens to us and our cries
Great, my brother Orlando, keep it up.
One time a pastor said to me, young man!
This bible will keep away from sin, or sin will keep you away from this bible.
Then I came across the book of Psalms, " Your Word O God, I have hidden in my heart so that I may not sin against You, My God🙏📖⚔️🔥
This is a BRILLIANT video for beginners in Christianity. I am a new christian and this is exactly what I struggle with. We hear how other Christians WANT to read the Bibile - how they HEAR God and how they FEEL God so we start reading the Bible but then it gets difficult because it still feels like a chore in the beginning. This helped me realize that I have to be consistent and do it with purpose no matter what because THAT consistency will lead to something big. If I rely on my mood to decide IF I will spend time with God, then I won't. God says to 'carry your cross daily' - I have picked my hard for Jesus - I am reading my Bible consistently everyday. Excellent video - thank you!
Reading Gods Word daily, and prayer is the only way to keep a strong faith alive. God bless you little brother! ❤
God bless you brother may He put the desire for all of us to read His word and apply it in Jesus name Amen

Keep a Bible in the bathroom. Read it when you have the time, so to speak. It's surprising how much you can read at such times.
Get an audio bible version and store it on your phone. Listen when driving. It's surprising how much you can go through when you do this regularly, even in the small chunks of time going to the store, work, church, errands, etc.
Listen to your audio bible via phone when you're eating alone, doing chores that aren't too loud (vacuuming can be too noisy), etc.
Put the audio bible on for 5 mins or so before going to sleep. Use a music player that has a sleep timer. I recommend the Psalms for this: it's so comforting and relaxing, and a great way to set yourself up for a restful falling-asleep.
I don't think the word of god should be with you in such a place maybe in your mind whilst you are there.
@@CharlesIsMyNameyou can read it when and wherever anyone chooses it’s not a bunch of rules to where or when you can read it don’t be legalistic
@@creativechristiancontent I'm not trying to be legalistic far from it actually but it is just that a bathroom is not clean and the word of GOD in my view should not be somewhere so dirty even if you think it's clean. Protect the Word of GOD and show decency.
@@CharlesIsMyNameI’ve known ppl who’ve had bibles in every room of their house more of the older church goers. God knows our heart but I get where you’re coming from I cant bring myself to put anything ontop of my bible
Amen, brother. thank you for sharing
Dude, the way you communicated this so succinctly, yet so full of grace and love enough to share this with us - this is amazing. Thank you Orlando - you have a gift fr. You're helping ppl like me return to my first love.
I was the same. Didn’t feel like reading and went months without reading. Then a few months ago I just forced myself to read at least 1 chapter a day. Now it’s a morning habit reading a few chapters. The word is captivating again. I am always eager to do my morning reading and can’t imagine going a day without it now. It’s sometimes hard at first but if you keep at it even when you don’t feel like it after 2 or 3 weeks it becomes a good habit. Yahuwah bless you
I really needed this today! I was just praying a few hours before I came across this video, telling God I feel a growing aversion to reading the Bible (and I've been a Christian for 50 years), and asking Him how I can get past this feeling! I firmly believe He has answered me through your video...thank you so much for allowing God to use you to speak to others in need and to answer their prayers. God bless you!
💯The biggest growth comes from doing things when things are peak pain, discomfort, loss and despite losing all hope.
Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
The Bible In a Year Podcast with Fr Mike Schmitz was what got me in love with Scripture. Both the Word itself and fr's enthusiastic love for it are so attractive.
I listen to that podcast at night. So comforting.
Wow I’ve never seen such an underrated RUclipsr in my life
So true! When first starting to read the Bible, I could read maybe a page at once. Now after having more understanding about The Bible, i read 1 page and I am just blown away. Absolutely amazing book and I see why its the most sold book in the world
All my life I've struggled with reading the Bible and always gave up, but this time I promised I'm not giving up. My memory isn't very good because of my age and illness but I'm starting to memorize little bits. Slowly but surely I'm starting to understand. I feel like God wanted me to listen to your video and I'm so glad I did. Thank you and God bless you. ❤
I feel like I’m old so I feel like it’s hard for me to learn but through prayer and reading I learn. Because of answered prayers, I am able to remember more scripture than I thought I ever would be able to. I realize that you are young, but we feel the same. May all who hears your channel be blessed through Christ.
God bless you man🙏
My new brother in Christ. Your content is just what I needed….May HE give you the desires of your heart ❤❤❤
You're exactly right about memorizing scripture...it has changed my life.
Oh my goodness! I literally also just discovered the connection between Psalm 22, Matt 27:46 and Mark 15:34. What is also profound is that the Psalmist composed Psalm 22 to portray the posterity of Christ. When you really examine the words of the Psalmist, it becomes quite apparent that this is a prophecy, andddddd the Psalmist could have only gained such wisdom from the Holy Spirit.
You are so right! The Bible is truly living, and it’s like any other book, it does not read from the beginning to the end. Everything book is connected to each other.
Also, I completely agree. Even when you don’t feel like reading, READ. If you are struggling, ask God for help.
Thanks for sharing!
God bless you. Your passion alone influenced me to grab my bible before the video hadn't even finished yet ❤
Absolutely amazing. In it's easy-to-understand presentation, this is like a GIFT to the church. No matter where one is in their walk with the Lord, this fits . . . this works. This BLESSES!! Thank you, brother!!
Awesome young man. I pray my daughter find someone like you a man of God.
This is my first time seeing you. I prayed a few days ago, that I want to get more from the Bible reading... My brain understood hyperlink. Thank you!
I clearly see your passion for the word of God I need this passion pray for me to have it and thanks great tips

Thank you, your video was very inspiring and encouraging. This really meant a lot to me.
God bless you!!! I was meant to see this video and meant to see it today! God is using you to heal his people! YES! Praise the One True God !!!
Man, that is the most encouraging video on the Christian faith I have watched in a long time. It was from the heart and there were so many pearls of wisdom. I have been struggling with the same problem (feeling like "I should" read the bible rather than really treasuring it) and then feeling guilty I don't have the passion to read it more. The way you describe it really makes sense, and I'm going to try turning it around like you suggest and invest some more time in the word. Thank you brother.
God bless you man❤
great video! thanks for sharing!
I loved your tips, especially third one. thanks and God bless you
Wow! I needed that. Thank you little brother! ❤
Very true❤️ I love this.

Stay with it brother, it gets easier and easier each day.
I love your honesty!
