Invite God to join you in your reading. Ask Him for wisdom.
If there is anything in your spirit hindering you, confess it now.
He knows it. You are forgiven. 
Ask Him to help you embrace that truth to live it out.

• Begin with asking God to open your heart to what He has for you to hear today.
• Read a passage of the Scripture
• Is a miracle in the passage? Is a relationship deepened in some way? Has God stepped in and shown His power, 
• Has he shown His discipline or even His protection or His end goal? 
• Has Jesus, lived life, shown love, or taught?
• Whatever the passage holds that brings you an awareness of who He is, praise Him for that revelation. 
• Give Him glory and honor and praise. Thank Him for what He has given.
• Think on these things. Ponder them. Reread the passage. Write about what you read. Pray! This is Worship!
• Thank God for His presence this moment.

1. Now, dear brothers and sisters, let us clarify some things about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we will be gathered to meet him.
2. Don't be so easily shaken or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun. Don't believe them, even if they claim to have had spiritual vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us. 
3. Don't be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed — the one who brings destruction.
4. He will exalt himself and defy everything that people will call good and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.

5. Don't you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you?
6. And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes. 
7. For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way.
8. Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will kill him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming.

9. This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles. 
10. He will use every kind of destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.
11. So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies.
12. Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 NLT
