I probably study at least 6 or 7 hours a day since 1998.
1998, I decided to commit my life, I decided to read the whole bible at least 25 times, once each week. I was studying about 16 hours a day, some days I didn't sleep and I just kept studying from one motivation, motivated by a single scripture.
''And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD''
I found out I had severe O.C.D. or temporal lobe epilepsy and I knew I would obsess of something. At the time it was crossword puzzles, I realized something was wrong because I couldn't function or sleep unless I finished the crossword everyday.
So I decided to choose my obsession.
That my children may be proud makes me stay at task.

O, Probably around 400, 500 times, possibly more, I have no idea. I had read the whole bible 50 times before 1998, probably way more than that.
My mother is an evangelist, she and everyone who knows me wants me to quit studying. I don't know the reason most people get O.C.D., but I know what makes me have it. To be alone with my thoughts is intolerable and would leave me screaming all day. I have to keep my mind occupied all the time, and that's what I do. All I think about is temple design and law from morning to morning. My family want me to stop, they don't realize that's impossible or that if I stopped studying the bible, it would just be a different obsession. It's like I am in a prison, in a cell with the person I hate most. I just don't want to hear anything he thinks lol.
The first two years of my walk I closed myself off and studied the original languages, 16 hours a day sometimes. Like Hanni, sometimes I never slept because I was on what I call a "rabbit trail" and I was chasing precepts all through the Word from Genesis to Revelation (that's how He "hides" them in plain sight), and I was too excited over my mining for gold to sleep.
With this, I attended some church (varied from week to week, as I going primarily to worship with other believers) and had a bible study and ministry going in some form every week. I put in a few study days like that now, but other than that, nothing has changed, because the Word is an inexhaustible gold mine of revelations and wisdom from above. In later years He had me take in young people into our home and led them to have a PERSONAL relationship with Him and turn their OWN life upside down and inside out like He did mine, and sent myself and a friend just like me. out to minister to the body in different areas of the country.
This all is SO OPPOSITE of what my life was like before meeting Him in person 5/8/88, that I find it difficult to remember the "old" me sometimes, and that's the way I like it. The farther I get away from that "dead body", the more blessed I am. Peace
500. Impressive. Doubt I'll ever reach that number.
God must talk to you a lot then.
I'll be lucky to reach 100
I don't believe God hardly ever talks to me, I do however believe somebody does. The way I see things, you will die, and you will be put in a category of just how much you know so that you might go down and whisper in somebody's ear. I see the army of God, a general in place, and millions under his command. I think spirits have come and gone inside of me and although they are not God, they have been delegated just like Jesus saying that the father would send somebody in his name.
I believe the Holy spirit came for a brief time, and this spirit was given to a person to learn and to fight against their desires.
I believe that particular spirit went back to it's place, but there are still others and while they don't have the power to heal, they do speak.
Of course, I tell them to shut the hell up, this is my rodeo.

Give yourself more credit. God talks to all his children
