Abide 21 Days in John – Day 1

Can I buy the Abide version! The download is too small on my iPad or read or study.

Love it; especially like the NET gospel. Just had chance to start today : Day 1

Thank you very much for the study! May all of us keep discovering more of the greatest book – Bible, and God bless!

Love this format, excellent leader in Dr. Collins, impactful study time. Thank You for offering this top-notch material for free!

Thank you for this Bible study on the Book of John. I am new in Christ and was guided to start reading the word beginning with John. I pray for us all who found this site to be Transformed by the Renewing of Our Minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Just this morning my daily devotion based on Romans 6:13 (Offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life), reminded me that the Man who loved me enough to die for me could be absolutely trusted with the total concerns of the life He had saved. Day 1 reminds me that He has invited me to come and see Him, to know Him and to abide in Him. Knowing Him more deepens that trust, and ultimately leads to a deeper surrender of my will for His.

This process of contemplation is very enriching to the body soul and mind. This gave me anew perspective in my life in this new year. Meditation of the word of God is powerful and its long lasting. Thank you brother for standing in the gap for me to teach me the word of God in this way

thought it was good

I am truly blessed to be part of this study group. I love that God helps me find when he sees me in trouble
he reminds me to come, see, and remain with him. He is the true vine, and we are the branches…

Enjoyed every bit of the session and time seemed to have passed very quickly.

This study is such a blessing! Thank you!

Thank you. What a blessing your resource is! Looking very much forward to Day 2.

Great start to a new way to talk to God.

I’ve been a Christian for a long time and I never was taught how to read and study the scripture this way.
I’m so excited about this Bible study. Praise Jesus, it’s so refreshing!

I have always read the Bible as a history book, always ending in trying to find deeper meaning. This is very helpful for me.

Thank you for the orderly way that you laid out the Bible studying on John,it really makes it easy and understandable

I think about the gospel song “remind me dear Lord” As I listened to the teacher my mind recalled the work God has done in my life. So often, in life, I forget who Christ is.

This Bible Study is different from others I have participated in, but I will be sticking with it.

I used to do these steps without even realizing they were steps. It just felt natural. Then on New Year’s Day my husband passed away from lung cancer after a nine year adventure through chemo and biologics. He had mental illness before the cancer diagnosis and smoked his whole adult life. Since then the joy in life has diminished greatly and I just do not understand why. Then this popped up on my computer and I am going to DIVE into this to re-enter into The Joy of the LORD. FATHER GOD please return to me the joy of my Salvation. AMEN.

This was a great study time and video. Just long enough and I am excited to delve deeper into the great truths in the book of John. It was easy to access and download the Book of John. How do I get to day 2? Thank you!

I am loving it – and am excited and looking forward to the rest of the 21 days – thank you!

have been wanting a plan for reading the Bible in an organized way.

Wonderful way to go deeper in the Word of God
and how do I go to lesson 2
I finished day1 yesterday

That was awesome, I enjoyed the presence of God.

These study steps guides one onto a deeper realm in the study of God’s word. I love the idea of personalizing the scripture to see how it relates to you, and also the fact that you get to pray on it. God bless the Abide bible team that has put this together.

This is powerful and truly helpful. Asking the Holy Spirit to meet me in my thoughts was deep. Jhn. 1:35-51 was most illuminating. Thank you.

I enjoyed learning new ways to study The Bible God’s Word.

I am going to enjoy reading the Bible more with these new tools.

A new and structured way to study the Word and internalize lessons.

Thank you very much for your method of ensuring that I study the bible in a way that I would eperience God. It has always been my wish and prayer that I have an encounter with GOD, but I haven’t received that experience yet. I am praying that thisjourney I am starting today will help me to encounter God in a way that I have been trying to previously.

Praise God !! This is an answered prayer, I can now learn how to study God’s word more effectively. Thank you.

Thank you so much for helping me learn to study the word of God effectively. I’m looking forward to learning more of my Lord and Saviour.

Thank you so much for the Abide Bible Study. Although I have only done Day 1 I already sense I am reading Scripture differently. I want so much to engage more closely with God and my Saviour, Jesus Christ. I look forward to receiving the remaining 20 video sessions. I feel so excited about this course.

Thank you for this, I bought the Abide Bible and would like to continue this study but can’t find the rest of the days.

Thank you so much for this wonderful method of studying the Bible and for the generosity to download “ The Abide Bible. God bless you.

Thank you so much for insight through the method you are using in reading and understanding the Word of God. It is worth it.

I have always wanted to learn how to study the Bible in a meditative manner, and I’m glad I found this. Looking forward to day 2

Awesome looking forward to getting closer and more deeper with my King

I used to reading/studying the bible and sometimes I just got bored and frustrated. Now I have found the right direction which I belief will has come handy for one to have more interest in the word of God and to grow spiritually.

Thanks

I finished the contemplation regarding the phrase “come and see”. I knew about this idea of praying before reading the scripture and asking YAWEH to reveal what HE wants me to “take away”. I never really bothered to do this but today was different as I followed the prompts I believe I had an answer to prayer! I have been for the last 15 years wanting to be fully baptized. I am a converted roman catholic who has truly received YESHUA as my saviour and left this institution in obedience to the complex leading of the HOLY SPIRIT. I have been for years now convicted for the need to be re-baptized as the anabaptists did some 500 years ago. Every time I think about baptism I have had this idea to go to Jerusalem in order to get baptized in the Jordan river exactly or as close as possible to the place where YESHUA was baptized. I have had two different occasions to be baptized and have for some very strange or unusual reason turned down the opportunity because of this inescapable idea that I have been harbouring for the last 15 years. Two new ideas came from todays contemplation.

1. I reflected upon the idea on whether I am elevating YESHUA or do I elevate myself somehow in this situation. I do not believe that I am making myself more important or elevating my need for baptism and where I go to do this; more importantly I think that I am actually making this decision in order to elevate YESHUA and to elevate the importance of baptism. This may actually be the point of this 15 year battle of the mind; to experience the fullest understanding that I could possibly find on why infant baptism is not capable of washing away original sin and how I have studied and prayed for a great deal of time in order to make this happen in accordance with YAWEHS will and not my will!

2. The next step or idea that I experienced in this contemplations and prayer was the “come and see” statement that YESHUA offered to Andrew who was following. But first YESHUA asked them “what do you seek?” and they responded “where do you stay”. This is exactly what I have come to realize; I truly want “come and see” where YESHUA stayed and where HE was baptized. This has been a very long prayer; a 15 year long prayer that seems to have been answered in the midst of this method of studying, praying, asking and contemplating or meditating in a quiet way in order to hear the whisper of GODS voice!

I believe I now have the answer and must act on this as my two daughters who have also received YESHUA as their savour and they have also come out of her:

Rev 18: 4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; her”

My two daughters, Siobhan and Darragh have also indicated a desire to go with me to the “river” and get baptized together. I have prayed for their salvation for over 20 years and YAWEH delivered them from sin and into the arms of YESHUA; they received him and HE accepted them!

I now know my mission is to get going on this trip before things get shut down again. I may never have this opportunity again before things get really bad and I believe that my prayer has been answered as far as knowing GODS will in this long standing prayer or request for clarity.

The funds have already been delivered mysteriously as my parents have been dispersing inheritance money before they pass away to their 5 children of which there will be sufficient funds to pay for this trip. I am going to extend an invitation to my mother to “come and see” as she is still involved deeply in the roman institution. This may also be an evangelistic event whereby my mother may very well have an opportunity to receive YESHUA as her saviour. She has not been taught the whole gospel unfortunately and does not understand that salvation is offered through YESHUA and Grace is dispersed by YAWEH not the church. She has been taught that Grace is dispersed through her institution and that baptism actually washes away original sin. I believe that it is the Blood of YESHUA that washes away all sin…original and ongoing. We are justified by the blood sacrifice of YESHUA whereby we look or appear to GOD…” just as if we had never sinned”. This begins the lifelong process of sanctification where HE makes us holy and does the work necessary to clean up our soul. The act of Baptism is an act of obedience to do what YESHUA did in order to continue the transformation that will become apparent in our appearance and in our actions as we grow closer and where we actually “know” YESHUA and the intimacy of our relationship grows into a deeper love that consumes our entire mind, our entire soul, our entire heart and all of our strength. This lifelong process whereby we work out our salvation has benchmarks along the way and I have come to understand that a believers baptism is one which must not be taken lightly and I believe in my life is one where I have had to come into total obedience and where any doubt in my mind will be washed away as I do as the disciples did and I accept the invitation to “follow me”. It is also clear that even John the Baptist knew enough to be obedient and to recognize that he was not the Messiah and that he must die to self in order to reveal the true MESSIAH! He literally died to self in a most grievous way which indicates to me the unholiness and ugliness of the “kingdom of darkness”; this alone makes me to not want anything to do with this kingdom and points me to the KINGDOM of GOD which is exactly the reason why YESHUA came to first teach the KINGDOM of GOD and then he taught us the salvation message on how to get there after HE was questioned.

My question has finally been answered after 15 years of praying! I now want to “come and see” and then the next step will be to “follow HIM”.

I really enjoyed day 1 and was challenged to sloooow down more as I spend time in the scriptures and in his presence.

I really enjoy day 1 lesson and it open up to me to learn how to visualise what the Lord wants us to know n see in His word. Learning how to pray in His word. Thank you.

Thank you… I like this format and the guided, structured approach eventually covering the whole of the gospel of John. Day 1. Success

This is wonderful, I’ve descovered the biggest secret of intimate fellowship with the father by deep meditation on the word of God. Good quiet and silent time to wait upon the lord here in an input out of the four steps. God bless all.

Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
John 16:24 NKJV

So much of my life I wanted to go deeper into my relationship with the Lord and a lot of times I thought I had only to find out how shallow and religious I was, but just recently I finally surrendered my life to Christ and truly understand what it means to follow him and I can literally count it all joy because in my heart I’ve given it all to Him. I have and am continuing to learn more and more about what it means to abide in Jesus and what it is to live through Faith, by the Holy Spirit, In Jesus Name, Amen. And by studying God’s word this way I can only image where and how our relationship will grow. I am so excited to see all that God has for me behind “Come and See”. Thank you heavenly Father for this blessing. In Jesus Name, Amen..

The message was so amazing it taught me how to ready the bible, meditate upon the word and pray. Thank you Jesus.
Looking forward to Day 2.

Come and see and follow me has made me realize that is what Jesus wants me to do on a daily basis. Jesus told Nathaniel that he had seen him under a tree. Actually Jesus knew everything about him. Just as Jesus knows everything about me. He loves me so much that He wants me to come and see and follow Him as I comprehend more deeply what He has in store for me. How exciting to learn a new way of digesting His Word and His path for me as I put my faith and trust in Him with more understanding. I look forward to developing this new skill studing the Bible more deeply.

It’s awesome

It is insightful and helpful to see the scripture from a personal and intimate perspective.

Very well conducted and great speaker

This is refreshing and nurturing to my spirit. I am blessed

I very much enjoyed Day 1 of this plan yesterday. When will I receive the email for Day 2?

This is a very simplistic way of engaging God in his holy word. Very satisfying, and refreshing to know that when we open up the word of God, we’re engaged in God himself.

I’m super excited about the change I’m about to experience in my life.

Seeking to understand His word through this study

New to reading the Bible. This helped tremendously

I am so blessed, this is exactly i was looking for, will definitely benefit

Father Jehovah I humbly thank & Praise you for bringing me here today. I recently joined a daily 6am Prayer that has changed/renewed my Spirit & walk. This daily journey will further enhance this AWESOME rekindling for my Spirit. Thank you, thank you, Amen, Amen&Halleluyah☝

I just finished the first lesson and believe I am on the right track for a Bible study plan that will help me with a new way to read and contemplate the scriptures. I look forward to continuing this study for the next 20 days.

My first day was encouraging and strengthening my inner man. I needed this all along.

Thank you for leading me to the Abide bible app. I have been thinking of reading John several times but it slips out of my mind. This day onwards I will study the book and dive deeper to understand the love of Jesus and what he wants us to do.

My first day was on February 10th, 2024. I was looking for something, I go to a church, but something was from my prayer life. I didn’t get out of reading the Bible as I use to. When used to read the Bible,?it seems like the word would jump off the pages at. I know things have changed within me. I needed this to encourage me. Thanks !!!

I am extremely grateful that this program came upon me at this very season in my life where I can say I’m on fire for God! Extremely excited and I was having a hard time really savoring everything I was reading! I’m extremely grateful for this method. I feel that with this manner I am able to understand and actually abide and apply these methods into my life and abide and apply the word of God to my everyday life . Thank you

This is definitely a new way for me on how to approach the Bible, and not to just read through it but to contemplate on it and see how the Word applies to me and what the Holy Spirit is saying to me through the Word.

Just started this Bible study after recently learning about this through an email. The sense of seeing seems to be a recurrent theme in the book of John, as well as other Gospels like Matthew especially in the Sermon on the Mount. I also get reminded of the Psalm “Oh taste and see that the Lord is good.”

I like in-depth studies of the Bible. I received the email and immediately signed up. God help me to Abide in you.

I enjoyed reading today’s lesson, and I will be learning more about God as I read I think you for allowing me to study your material about God thank you

Thank you for the 21 Days in John series and what it is teaching me about rediscovering the Bible as something much deeper than just a book. On Day 1, I received encouragement realizing God knows where I’m at even if it is sitting under a fig tree.

I love the way the Abide Bible causes me to be able to do such a deep study on the word, and how it helps us to learn to pray more in the scriptures. I truly believe that this is a game changer, which wil cause the scripture to come alive deeply within me. Also, it will be a great way for me to get my children more involved in the study of the Word right alongside me…

This was my first video or first day, and I have to admit it was very emotional. I did feel the Holy Spirit guiding me, as He often does. That is how I think I found this.

I have the need to elevate myself spiritually and not knowing how to get started. I came across this site and feel that this is where the Lord would have me begin my studies. Beginning this session in studying the Book of John will cause me to focus more, be still and listen to what the Lord is saying. I appreciate this opportunity that is afforded to anyone who wants to take advantage of this free course. Blessings.

Today’s devotion made me stop and think about the desire and need to learn about God. For me to abide by his word and learn who he is and why I need to follow him and have him in my life daily. To understand his purpose for my life and my duties to him as his child. To know his purpose for his word and why learning about him and his word is the most valuable lesson throughout life. Thanks for this teaching!

Trying to find my way back. This study helps guide into time with God that will help me find the path.

I could not stop reading until chapter 4 . It took me a long time but I received more out of each text.
Eating the whole roll.
