"So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world." 

ROMANS 10:17-18

Praying the Bible Out Loud
   

Reading the bible out loud is simply the easiest way to develop a relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ. "How do I know what to pray?" is a question that troubles most of us at one time or another. After the "Praise You"s and the "Almighty"s and the "Help me"s, what do you talk about with God? David found the answer. It is all available to us in the Psalms. Who actually are we praying to? The Bible describes the throne of God in numerous passages. For further insight into praying the Bible out loud, check out these authors!

    In an article written by Leon Zimmerman, president of Rosedale Bible College , he recounts,” I began reading in Genesis, Psalms and Matthew but soon dropped to only Genesis. Time and time again I was startled as I read. A few of my mental ponderings were, “It actually says this! Wow, this is blunt! I don’t recall this much repetition. This is powerful! Should I be reading this to an eight year old? I hope the children don’t ask a question about this detail.” Something was happening that does not happen when I read silently. I was thinking through the details more deeply, visualizing the accounts more clearly and I was impacted by the message in deeper ways. And, as far as I could determine, all because I was reading aloud!"
