It's because you're reading it like a story or novel and not as a picture or scenario.

Create the scene yourself and watch the transformation

Simple, set your bible reading time in a time you are very active e.g., 8am, 10am, 3pm, 6pm Try this

Because you want to read it as a story book

Best way to start developing interest in the Bible is taking points (not notes) during preaching and going back later to read the whole chapter and understand the context (reading to know)

First, it is a sin you can carry out other activities without falling asleep but with the Bible you fall asleep. Also, the problem is spiritual laziness, ask God to forgive you and repent of it, then ask God to deliver you then it wouldn't be anymore.

It has nothing to do with the Bible, but understanding one's biological make up properly...I used to experience that with reading generally, until I figured that the best time for me to read is in the morning, as I get up from bed. My body make up prefer to read with the day light, than all artificial light suppliers. Just find out what works for you and stick with it.

Spiritual warfare is necessary. Always start with a focused session of praise and worship. Allow God to take control then rebuke every spiritual enemy in the name of Jesus. When you do this regularly your spiritual life will blossom and studying the Bible will become easy for you.

Having a mind ro study the word alone is already sign that God want to review himself to you deeper.

Advise For The Sleeping Part

Don't give God the left over of your time. E.g... Don't work yourself out in other activities before studying the word. You will always sleep.

Create study time for the word, always try to rest before you study. Sleep for 3 to 4 hours
and Bathe after waking up... before you study.

If you still sleep after all this... you need small deliverance ooo.

Never give God left Over time... He deserves More.

Though it can be overcome by alerting your mind while studying your bible.

Study and not read please.

Have a study material with you.

U need to pray..............
Re: Anytime I Pick Up My Bible To Read , I Always Feel Sleepy by Omolejohn01: 6:50pm On Jun 26, 2022
Here are three things i would really suggest u try out:
1. Read your bible early in the morning possibly when you just woke up and feel refreshed i also advice 10-20mins of intense praying in the spirit if ure baptized in the Holy spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues.

2. Strategize ur reading plan say 2-3chapters a day then over time begin to build it up from there

3. Meditate on what u read for that day and put the instruction or inspiration u got out of it into use or practice that day
Re: Anytime I Pick Up My Bible To Read , I Always Feel Sleepy by Nwaja: 6:51pm On Jun 26, 2022
It's not normal, I have experience it before but through fasting, quiteness, few prayer as I was lead, and constant praise and every night for a month I over came it, it normally occur when ur inner lack the fire of the Holy spirit, engage in a worship night with the Holy spirit and invite Him to help out. Do it you will never regreat it plus fasting as u re meditate on God's word. God bless you all.

The devil has done this you should know. The bible says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge and that is what the devil wants to achieve. Pray ask God to help you.
Here some things you can do, download Bible with Audio and play with your ear phone.

Not necessarily to mean you can't read a single sentence in the Bible.


Well, I don't think the writers of the Bible or Quran would have expected me to attribute any achievement to just what they wrote when I'm Hell Victorinho.

So, even if some of the words used in the Bible or Quran are also used by me to achieve something, I can't find it regrettable to consider them to be useful whether or not they were ever part of the Bible or Quran.



There are people wealthy and healthy without applying anything just because it's written in the Bible or Quran.
