Have you been led to believe, as a result of watching Nollywood, that by showing the Devil a copy of the Bible; he will flee?

a bible is not a staff you use to chase demons. The words of the God you know is what you use to chase demons.

Jesus did not use bible to counter the devil. He says It is written, and he mention God those three times. He did not show him bible. He spoke.

if the bible no dey with you at the time so you won't be able to chase demons.

don't turn bible to babalawo object.

So my brother speak the word and the demons with flee. It's is an easy something.

TOTAL RUBBISH!

Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to." The potency of God's Word is when it is in your mouth. Not on some paper or phone or any medium. For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword; Please note that it is NOT the bible but the Word of God.

Some of you have been deceived growing up that when the devil attacks, you would use your bible to hit him on the head, it won't work. Study to show thy self approved onto God. The word of God should be on your lips and in your heart (guard thy heart; for out of it flows the issues of life). Only when the Word is in the inside of you, that is when you can wage proper spiritual warfare.

Whether phone bible or hard cover bible, the potency of the Word of God is when its in your heart and flows through your lips


Where do you worship, please?

There is no sin in using your phone Bible in the church in as much you put it in flight mode. I like digital Bible cos it save reading history and with this I don't have to write books and chapters down. I sometimes record sermon. But the most important thing is that my phone most be in flight mode.

Please what about churches that rent keyboard or don't you know that such keyboard as been used in worldly parties. When you have attack pls just raise your bible and alter no word. From slate of stone to big Bible to electronic Bible all are advancement in technology. Let the word be in your mind and on your lips that is when you can use it in war. Witches even carry Bible.

Re: Why You Should Not Take A Phone Bible To Church by princepaul23: 1:52pm On Jan 31, 2016
it is imperative to note that the scriptures we read today, either in one form or the other was once upon a time written on tablets (stone) Exodus 17. Later we moved on to write on clay, then on papyrus (writing material make from leaves). Then we moved from papyrus to animal skin( parchment), scrolls and then when printing machine was invented, there is need to have the bible in papers. The truth is,the writing materials will continue to change, but the word of God will not change. This topic is more than what someone will come here and quote one verse to defend. For better understanding, one can google it " how we got our English bible" for more information.

I use a TECNO L5 mobile smartphone and as much as I can be called an heavy user of my phone because it lasts long, I have ensured the phone doesn't go with me to church and here's the scriptural reason!

Habakkuk 2:20King James Version (KJV)

20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

The day I had a spiritual understanding of this verse was when I changed my mind about this act.

God wants silence in his presence thereby all agents or appearances of distraction must be kept at bay.

I pray that as we read this, the Holy Spirit would teach is more about it.
And to think that the deafening sound of musical instruments in your 'churches' is part of the silence that God wants in his presence

U don't cast out demons by holding d bible. U cast out demons by professing what is written in d bible. The content of d bible has to be in ur head to face any situation in life. Having d bible in ur hand without knowing what is written there is a waste of time.

Take note that you do not worship an object, or place undue faith in it, which bothers on idolatry.

It is really worrisome that a person who calls himself Christian could utter this kind of a thing! You have a long way to go when it comes to demon casting. Have you been led to believe, as a result of watching Nollywood, that by showing the Devil a copy of the Bible; he will flee?

I suggest you go for scrolls and stone tablets because that is where the words you find in the Bible were originally written.

Interesting you typed this. Just last week Sunday, this young guy -could have been anything btw the ages of 18 to 21 sat beside me in church. At some point, we needed to reference our bibles and he used his phone. Personally, I didn't c anything wrong in that. However at certain points during the service, the guy started playing some brick game on his phone. I just couldn't deal. He is lucky he didn't sit close to any of those Xtain mother types tongue

The BIBLE is simply the word of GOD..the word BIBLE isn't in the bible, what am I trying to say?? the word of God can be in any form, scroll( in the days of Moses),paper format (our days) and e-format(also our days).. I can take the paper format to church and still get distracted, distraction could come from the mind.. I could also take my phone, tab or pad containing the bible and stay focused all thru the service(what happened to turning off network).Everything is a matter of choice.. besides having the word in our hearts and obeying HIS words is much more important..

Your prayer has been answered so hear this once.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Romans 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

From the above scriptures.
Brother
First
#Selah (that means pause and think).
Second kindly answer this questions for me:
Do you know God or think you know God?
If your answer to the above has been settled in your heart, now do you think God is in heaven, seated on His throne and shouting and calling out to Jesus and Angel Michael to come and see that you've come to church again with your phone bible?
Brother if you don tire 2 use ur phone for bible then stop and carry hard copy but no come misinterprete bible verse.
