For Familiar Passages.  Read Anew!
Read the passage from Last to First!
​

Sometimes we have read a passage of Scripture so many times we can't see it with new eyes.
How can we change the passage without changing the meaning?
What would we see if we take a passage and begin with the last verse and read the verses from for example:

 Read Chapter 3:10-1. 

• Begin with asking God to open your heart to allow you to see these verses afresh with new eyes and hear with new ears.
• Now begin reading Chapter 3 beginning with verse 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
• Does the passage change in meaning? Does it give you a new insight into it?
• Finalize with re-reading the passage in the way it was originally written.
• Look back over the verses. Does any one verse stand out in your heart?
• Pray over that verse. Place it in our heart, your journal, on a 3X5 card or sticky note. Tape it in your bible, on a mirror, or on your desk.
• Be sure to thank God for being here with you today. He gets great pleasure from our gratitude.

49. John said to Jesus, "Master, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn't in our group."
50. But Jesus said, "Don't stop him! Anyone who is not against you is for you."
Luke 9:49-50 NLT
