Foundational Excellence with Elohim
Having Elohim (Father God) at your core is so fun and exciting!
Luke 3:16 says Yeshua (Jesus) will baptize people with The Spirit of Holiness and Fire. Linking this verse to Exodus 19:18 & Exodus 40:34-38 which informs that Father God is Cloud (Spirit) and Fire, we learn that people today have the opportunity to receive Father God in their body from Yeshua :)
This pillar's content focuses on living daily with the basics like reading the bible and optimal prayer to help ensure God is at the foundation of both new & experienced Christians. Get excited for the potential to have your eyes opened or awareness increased of God everyday!

How to Actually Read the Bible
Two primary Bible reading methods include:
1. Read all chapters in a book of the Bible to gain full understanding of the message through the author's penmanship
- Key full Bible books both beginner and veteran readers to read include: NT - John, Acts OT - Genesis, Exodus
2. Read select Bible verses/short passages based on my mood
- For example, if I feel nervous, I can read the OT book of Isaiah, chapter 26, verses 3 & 4 which talks about seeking God
