At the end of this month I will have read the entire Bible in a year 9 times and starting January 1, I will start 10 times. I wanted to read a book I could sink my teeth into and the Bible was it. It has fed me everyday these past nine years and I will continue to be fed for the rest of my life. Oh how wonderful God is and through His son Jesus I have become so close to Him and never want to stop this love relationship. I am in love. Praise be the Lord Christ Jesus ❤Blessed be God forever 🙏🏼
Okay, do it, dear. Don't worry. Get closer to the Lord and don't turn your face to the ground. Declare repentance from your heart so that God may get closer to you, as He says. “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” (James 4:8) So I say to you, my dear brother, declare your repentance and do not worry. I was like you, but when you declare your repentance and surrender your life to God, I promise you that you will not want anything else.
Very important to read the bible coz it's the Authority. But we need to believe on it. And our Faith will be strong. Until it's explode on you. And you are ready to use His Authority that He gave us, Mathew 10:1 over the enemy and sickness. Remember ignorance of His Word will be distroy by the enemy. We have to use it. Thank you Jesus
@@artifacthunter1472don’t be ridiculous. You sound like a Pharisee. God does not call everyone to become Bible scholars. Bible reading and Bible study are two different spiritual practices, and both are important even if one never gets to the point of even doing Greek and Hebrew word studies.
In 2 days I'll have read through the entire Bible. I have not missed a single day. It has single handly changed my life. Praise the Lord for helping me read his entire word this year.
My husband and I started reading through the Bible 2 years ago .We will be starting on our 3 rd time ,, best thing we have done together,, we are going on 49 years of marriage in March,,, I encourage everyone to do it! Life changing❤️
God bless this man! Reading the Bible 1000 times is a huge accomplishment! My 26 year old son just passed away June 2024, by relationship with the Lord has strengthened immensely! I recently started reading 2 chapters in the morning and 2 chapters at night of my KJV bible. I am currently on Joshua 22, God has given me peace and has shown me signs that my son is in heaven, thank you Jesus!
I accepted the faith a few years ago after being raised Muslim. For the last year I’ve been reading my Bible consistently. I started with the New Testament primarily and am FINALLY 5 BOOKS away from finishing the New Testament!!! I pray I’ll finish the Old testament before summer 2025 and start all over again - reading it daily for the rest of my life!
Wow! I got saved in 2009 and am just about to finish the Bible for the third time. It has taken me 5 years to get through each time. 2009-2014. 2014-2019. and 2019-2024.

@@johnkenneth7786 Dear, no problem. I read the Bible and I start at the beginning of the year and finish reading at the end of the year. That is, I read it once a year, an average of three to four chapters every day. So don’t worry ❤️🙏🏻
@@johnkenneth7786 Reading the bible and understanding the word of God are two different things. Many read the bible all through, but barely understand the word of God.
One of the keys is to pray, ask, and believe from the heart that God will give you understanding and revelation from His word, everytime you open it up 🙂
You need to understand that reading the bible too much can cause you pride,and then you will start sinning,pride is thinking too highly ofyourself and that your above others

@@artifacthunter1472 How do you become born again? Let me guess, you would quote the bible to tell me how, right? Theres things you cant just "know" without the scriptures. People like you are hypocrites, who read the bible, and tell everyone else, you just have to be born again....hmm wonder where you got that idea from.... Probably multiple places in scripture. You say the bible doesnt give you ANY wisdom yet the Bible LITERALLY SAYS IT DOES. 2 Tim 3:15-17 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. "the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith" hmm interesting, looks like the scriptures are somewhat ncessary to be wise unto salvation. Clearly without them you'd end up a roman pagan. Or how about "the beginning of wisdom is fear of the lord", hmm where does that come from? I'm guessing you know because you read it and then get on youtube and tell everyone they just have to be born again. People are out there summoning Jesus Christ into crackers and shoving them in gold sun statues because they dont know the scriptures. Never, ever, tell anybody the bible doesnt give you ANY wisdom, extremely satanic comment.
Bible becomes real blessing when you ask God talk to you before opening His Word. He will either talk to you through what is written or when you become silent and just listen to His voice in your mind. You have tell God "here I'm ready to listen what You have to say to me."
Please Dear LORD, forgive me for taking your Word for granted. I receive grace by this man's testimony to become a lifetime student of the Bible just as himself was blessed by the testimony of George Muller. Please release this same grace also upon everyone reading this that's hungry for you LORD
I like to read the bible until I find a verse that speaks to me, then highlight it, recite it, meditate on it throughout the day or when i wake up in the middle of the night, and commit it to memory.
I read the whole Bible (ICB) from January 3, 2005, to April 3, 2008. I read one chapter a day, but on my first day, I read three chapters because I missed two days. In 2020, I read the whole Bible (KJV) from April 2020 to August 2020 on Audiobook. On the first day, I read Matthew. On the second day, I read Mark. On the third day, I read Luke. On the other days, I read ten chapters. On some days, I read more than ten, and some days, I read less than ten. I am a special-needs person with Asperger's syndrome (which is a branch of Autism), and I have obsessive compulsive disorder, and sometimes reading is difficult for me.
Someone send this to Lily Phillips. If you're going to do ANYTHING 1000 times, do something that improves the quality of your soul rather than degrades it.
I have only read the Bible 10 times. I'm amazed that this pastor has read it 1,000 times. There are many Christians in Korea who have read the Bible 100 times, I will challenge myself to do it again...
2024 is my first year trying to read the entire Bible. I have just 2 weeks to go thanks to The Bible Recap. I highly recommend it for new readers because you read things in context in chronological order and then get a summary (a. k. a. recap) with extra information every single day. The chronological plan means, for example, you read David’s psalms during his trials and tribulations in 1st and 2nd Samuel and you read Paul’s letters to Galatians and other early Christians during his travels in Acts. While reading, it’s like watching a movie unfold so you get the full story of redemption and understanding God’s nature. My church is going to start a second round of reading in January. I’m excited to read the Word again with this group!
@@branchofthevine779 you can’t apply what you don’t know. You won’t know if you don’t read. Reading the Bible is essential to a real relationship with the Lord.

@@alexanderjosephross it actually is just historical documents not the word of God. It has mistakes in it and errors from wrong retellings of oral tradition before it was recorded. Now I'm not saying it isn't true mostly but I'm saying they are historical documents that say truth claims u can put ur faith in.. but by no means is it literal word for word the word of God.
Praise Jesus. What a beautiful man of God. Looks so good to be 96. Thanks for the inspiration. I know reading God's word is so important and I need it. I just pray with strength with the Holy Spirit, I'll be more consistent and intentional in my reading.
This is an astonishing achievement. I just wanted to encourage anyone who needs it though, I read the bible in full last year and can relate to how he described a "thirst for the word". I don't know if anyone else also does this but I pray before I read to ask God to guide my steps. On December 31st, He gave me my verse of the year and also asked me to dedicate a year to studying just one book (Book of Isaiah) and also dedicate my prayers to Israel. I won't be making it to 1000 reading the bible this way but that's not a bad thing either 🌹
I have read the Bible many times myself, and still reading through it now but did not count the times, it has made a difference in my life, and change me for the better physically mentally, financially, emotionally and spiritually.
I started reading my Bible again yesterday after many failed attempts to read it through to Revelation. And discouragement bcos I seem not to be able remember my daily memory verses. This video has encouraged me a lot, I won't stop until I finish and start over and over again...God help me,Amen. I'll come back to this video when I'm done ✅
It's not about getting through the Bible as it is getting the Bible into you. The "write down one verse that stood out to you that day" is very good advice.
@@Joh146 The bible = words ABOUT God - as Jesus said > "You read the bible to find eternal life - ITS NOT IN THERE! > The bible is about ME! - Find ME!" GOD and Jesus are SPIRITs - words are man made.
@@PenelopeG96 Jesus Law - is not Moses Law...............The Law never saved anyone. Salvation was always through faith in Messiah - Jesus' Law is Love. > “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind... and... You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets”
The Lord has inspired His word to encourage our faith. "And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit." (1 Cor. 2:13)
This man is so precious. Thank you, sir for your many years of serving the body of Christ and for your amazing example of being diligent in the Word. Many blessings! 🙏🙏😊
Till now I couldn't get through the prophets' books (stopped after the big ones, read every other book) I have to decide in my heart and dedicate at some point...
The word helps a lot. It's like the Spirit lives in you a little when you have those bible verses fresh in you. I find reading more than listening, but perhaps that's just me. Days where I forget to read or have little time and just don't do it, I listen to some audio bible while falling to sleep. Some short ones that give you a good bit of bible before bed are James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John. They are short and you get the message without falling asleep in the middle. A lot of times I'l try revelation and it's hard to get the point of that book while falling asleep but it still helps. Very good teachings in Matthew around 5-8. It's just one great Jesus teaching after another
When i start reading my Bible i find i cant stop with just one chapter!! I love the living word. Brought me so much unexplainable joy!! I highly encourage anyone to pick up the Bible and begin a wonderful journey and drawing closer to the Lord. Gods love is poured out on each and every page.😊
Yay! Love this, I have now read 4 different translations' going on 5 can't wait to continue reading the bible and learning more and more of the Word of God for the rest of my life.
Such an inspiration. These nuggets will really change all. Most people writing to reduce the emphasis of reading your Bible cover to cover regularly most likely didn't watch the video till the end.
VERY ENCOURAGING! I am only at 9 times reading through the Bible. Two years, I’ve read through by two different translations and or chronological versions. I now want to study 📚 certain books 📕 of the Bible. Perhaps a Red Letter series. With Old Testament references… WOW!! 😮
I've been reading Bible about a little over 100X. I've also started to memorize some verses. I feel that my heart is filled with strength that is unshakable. I am going through a lot of challenging things right now with sickness and finance but the Word of God sustains me.
Aman. When I heard Pastor Billy Graham say that the Bible is food to our soul. Just like when we need food to nourish our body same thing with the Lord's word. The word of God is living an act of sharper than any double-edged sword piercing to the body and bone marrow and discerning the intentions of a human's heart ❤️. PS John 3:16....✍️✝️🇺🇸👈❤️ Please pray for me that the Lord will keep me strong in the faith and to give me strength through my past mistakes. But also that the Lord will rest His Holy Spirit upon my family members. I came to the Lord 7 years ago when I got sick with late-stage chronic lyme disease and even though I'm still suffering today. I can see how the Lord is working in my suffering changing me shaping me into christlikeness he's doing a good work within his children Philippians 1:6).
Just some advice to beginners, Your first few times take your time to soak in every word and reflect on it even re-reading verses or chapters immediately to if it strikes you as profound or particularly meaningful to you. I find that if I’m trying to speed read through something I can gloss over and not register everything.
Amazing! Yes, renewing our mind with the rightly divided Word of God is an amazing way to grow in the knowledge of His Grace and Love. As long as we are reading His word through the lens of Grace, of the Gospel, we are renewing ourselves correctly. Otherwise, we might be increasing our knowledge in the incorrect manner, bringing ourselves into religious bondage, under the letter. This is very possible. (Look at the Scribes and Pharisees!). So you could read the Bible a thousand times, but remain in bondage under the letter. Paul done this, until he encounted the risen Christ. I read my bible like this for decades, until I returned to Grace, understanding that it is all in Christ, not in anything I do. Now, I read His word with joy and peace, through the lens of the Gospel of His Grace and Love. Blessings and kindest regards David from Australia. 🌏 🙄☝️
You could not be a hearer of that much of the Word and not be a doer of the Word unless you're unable to hear the Word. The word of God is powerful people it is the Lord Jesus Christ living through you...

Now I'm not saying it isn't true mostly but I'm saying they are historical documents that say truth claims u can put ur faith in.. but by no means is it literal word for word the word of God.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Praise Jesus. What a beautiful man of God. Looks so good to be 96. Thanks for the inspiration. I know reading God's word is so important and I need it. I just pray with strength with the Holy Spirit, I'll be more consistent and intentional in my reading.
His word always shares something new from God's heart. "For the word of God is living and active," (Heb. 4:12)
This is an astonishing achievement. I just wanted to encourage anyone who needs it though, I read the bible in full last year and can relate to how he described a "thirst for the word". I don't know if anyone else also does this but I pray before I read to ask God to guide my steps.
On December 31st, He gave me my verse of the year and also asked me to dedicate a year to studying just one book (Book of Isaiah) and also dedicate my prayers to Israel. I won't be making it to 1000 reading the bible this way but that's not a bad thing either 🌹
I have read the Bible many times myself, and still reading through it now but did not count the times, it has made a difference in my life, and change me for the better physically mentally, financially, emotionally and spiritually.
Wow,just wow! I am so inspired.🙏🏾
May we have a hunger for the word and continue to read it daily. Amen
@@700club Amen!💯❤️
I read a chapter of the psalms every morning before kneeling to pray. It helps to direct my prayer life!
Praise God this my 5th time reading the Bible since the year ends I am in Revelations. Year 2025 starting again in Genesis. ❤
All those times reading the Bible and I bet you still celebrate Christmas. 😂
Starting 7 th trip in January! And never gets old…
How many chapters do you read a day?
@TheSisUNeed 2, I just found out bout the Bible recap to give me more explanation about each chapter in the Bible
@@artifacthunter1472 Christmas means Cristes Maesse, Mass of Christ. Nothing wrong with celebrating the birth of Christ.
I started reading my Bible again yesterday after many failed attempts to read it through to Revelation. And discouragement bcos I seem not to be able remember my daily memory verses. This video has encouraged me a lot, I won't stop until I finish and start over and over again...God help me,Amen.
I'll come back to this video when I'm done ✅
Wow, This year will be my first time reading through my Bible...
I read my Bible every book by book but a 1000 times wow.
What a great contemporary example to follow of a Elder Brother in Christ, a godly man! May The Lord continue blessing him.
What an encouraging story. Thank you.
It's not about getting through the Bible as it is getting the Bible into you. The "write down one verse that stood out to you that day" is very good advice.
GOD's WORD is NOT a BOOK.
GOD's WORD is Jesus Christ.
A Spirit.
GOD´s Word = The Bibel = Jesus Christ. You can´t seperate it.
@@Joh146 The bible = words ABOUT God - as Jesus said > "You read the bible to find eternal life - ITS NOT IN THERE! > The bible is about ME! - Find ME!" GOD and Jesus are SPIRITs - words are man made.
God’s Word is the Law. Jesus obeyed the Law. Matthew 5:17
@@PenelopeG96 Jesus Law - is not Moses Law...............The Law never saved anyone. Salvation was always through faith in Messiah - Jesus' Law is Love. > “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind... and... You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets”
@@gracehillcolorado2668 Jesus quoted it
I read through the Bible once. Need to start back again. It’s been too long.
The Lord has inspired His word to encourage our faith. "And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit." (1 Cor. 2:13)
This man is so precious. Thank you, sir for your many years of serving the body of Christ and for your amazing example of being diligent in the Word. Many blessings! 🙏🙏😊
@@apriljames3096 Yes, sir you are an inspiration.
I LOVE ❤TO READ A BIBLE MANY TIMES!! AMEN ❤❤❤
May the Lord continue to speak to you through His word.
Till now I couldn't get through the prophets' books (stopped after the big ones, read every other book)
I have to decide in my heart and dedicate at some point...
Thanks
Excellent. Just make sure when you read it, you read with the intent to understand it. Happy Bible reading everyone! 🙏
Truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
You are more than welcome. Thank you for listening. God bless you.
I have repented to Read the Bible everyday, so help me God.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The word helps a lot. It's like the Spirit lives in you a little when you have those bible verses fresh in you. I find reading more than listening, but perhaps that's just me. Days where I forget to read or have little time and just don't do it, I listen to some audio bible while falling to sleep. Some short ones that give you a good bit of bible before bed are James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John. They are short and you get the message without falling asleep in the middle. A lot of times I'l try revelation and it's hard to get the point of that book while falling asleep but it still helps. Very good teachings in Matthew around 5-8. It's just one great Jesus teaching after another
Amazing. I want to read like that the Bible. Thank you. Shalom.
Wow. This is amazing. Requires discipline and consistency. There is treasure in the word of God.
This is just the most beautiful video . God bless you 🙏🏽 ❤️
When i start reading my Bible i find i cant stop with just one chapter!! I love the living word. Brought me so much unexplainable joy!! I highly encourage anyone to pick up the Bible and begin a wonderful journey and drawing closer to the Lord. Gods love is poured out on each and every page.😊
WOW! Glory to GOD! 200 pages a day! Great idea! Got inspired to read more...will try 200 page a day!
Yay! Love this, I have now read 4 different translations' going on 5 can't wait to continue reading the bible and learning more and more of the Word of God for the rest of my life.
Thanks for this inspiration. I will increase my daily reading of the scriptures
Very very very very very very very very good 👍👍👍👍 thank you very much 🎉❤
Amazing wonderful and really inspiring sir. I will surely start reading the Holy Bible this seriously.
I have done 1000 petitions from book of Psalms ! I feel so fulfilled…Each prayer came with power!
Read the Bible three times in 2024. 90 days from cover to cover each time. This man is a machine!!
Such an inspiration. These nuggets will really change all. Most people writing to reduce the emphasis of reading your Bible cover to cover regularly most likely didn't watch the video till the end.
Great sir! U r an inspiration for every preacher n believer. God give u long life. Glory be to God! 🙏🙏 Bala Hyderabad Telangana India
VERY ENCOURAGING! I am only at 9 times reading through the Bible. Two years, I’ve read through by two different translations and or chronological versions.
I now want to study 📚 certain books 📕 of the Bible. Perhaps a Red Letter series. With Old Testament references… WOW!! 😮
Beautiful. May God bless him abundantly!!
Wow! What a moving story.
May God help me to read His word and meditate upon it.
Bless his heart, what a wonderful gentleman!
One of the best articles. Praise almighty God 🙏
Amazing. Thanks for sharing. Never think you are too old or too young to be used by God.
He is living proof of Joshua 1:8, indeed.
Merry Christmas and God bless you! Thanks for all your prayers!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I've been reading Bible about a little over 100X. I've also started to memorize some verses. I feel that my heart is filled with strength that is unshakable. I am going through a lot of challenging things right now with sickness and finance but the Word of God sustains me.
Thank you for sharing the life changing story
Aman. When I heard Pastor Billy Graham say that the Bible is food to our soul. Just like when we need food to nourish our body same thing with the Lord's word. The word of God is living an act of sharper than any double-edged sword piercing to the body and bone marrow and discerning the intentions of a human's heart ❤️. PS John 3:16....✍️✝️🇺🇸👈❤️ Please pray for me that the Lord will keep me strong in the faith and to give me strength through my past mistakes. But also that the Lord will rest His Holy Spirit upon my family members. I came to the Lord 7 years ago when I got sick with late-stage chronic lyme disease and even though I'm still suffering today. I can see how the Lord is working in my suffering changing me shaping me into christlikeness he's doing a good work within his children Philippians 1:6).
@@NickOtis0707 it's not God's will for you to be sick. The Word says Himself took our sicknesses and carried our diseases.
Just some advice to beginners, Your first few times take your time to soak in every word and reflect on it even re-reading verses or chapters immediately to if it strikes you as profound or particularly meaningful to you. I find that if I’m trying to speed read through something I can gloss over and not register everything.
That’s funny - I would give the opposite advice at this point. Reading the Bible and studying the Bible are two different things.
He has to be one of the most thoughtful, loving, considerate, caring, peaceful men on the planet 😊.

Shelvie's story.
Amazing! Yes, renewing our mind with the rightly divided Word of God is an amazing way to grow in the knowledge of His Grace and Love.
As long as we are reading His word through the lens of Grace, of the Gospel, we are renewing ourselves correctly. Otherwise, we might be increasing our knowledge in the incorrect manner, bringing ourselves into religious bondage, under the letter. This is very possible. (Look at the Scribes and Pharisees!). So you could read the Bible a thousand times, but remain in bondage under the letter. Paul done this, until he encounted the risen Christ. I read my bible like this for decades, until I returned to Grace, understanding that it is all in Christ, not in anything I do. Now, I read His word with joy and peace, through the lens of the Gospel of His Grace and Love.
Blessings and kindest regards David from Australia.

I just mean...that sometimes I think I know the bible and this guy knows it much more than I!
O.k.❤@@davidsmith600
Just remember, Christ scolded the Pharisees not for their lack of knowledge of law, but their lack of mercy, justice, and love for people.
@@natazer how often do you read the word of God? Faith without works is dead
Feels brand new like the first time every time I read my Bible
Sweet! I’m up to 1 Samuel.. 📖✝️🙏🏼
GOD I LOVE THIS YOU TUBE CHANNEL IT'S AMAZING
Most beautiful and challenging testimony may God continue to bless him Amen 👍👍🙏
We have to read the Bible every day, it's wonderful.
God said that the word He speaks to us is spirit and life.
Blessings this is powerful. Let us pattern ourselves to read, study and execute those scriptures in our lives.🙏🏾
Thanks for watching. Glad this inspired you to seek the word of the Lord daily!
You could not be a hearer of that much of the Word and not be a doer of the Word unless you're unable to hear the Word. The word of God is powerful people it is the Lord Jesus Christ living through you...
