2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
The Greek word used for interpretation in our theme scripture is called epilusis which is also translated to mean application.
That means that when you read the word of God, you don't just read it for interpretation, but also for application because it comes with power to prosper where it is sent.
You carry the divine ability to interpret the word of God and the grace to apply what is interpreted. You read the word daily because you know that it is all you need.
The word of God is your spiritual mirror whereby you constantly and continuously see yourself. Its not just something that you hold as an idea in your head or a sentiment in your heart. The word of God carries its own inherent power to work in a believer.
The bible says that Give yourself wholy unto these things that your profiting may appear to all(1 Tim 4:15)
You can't give yourself wholy to these things and it's not evident in your life because the word of God prospers. So that means that we have to get to a level as believers whereby if people want to know if anything in scripture can be applied in life, they just need to look and study our lives.
When you read the word of God, it makes you what it says, it prospers where it is sent. We are partakers of the divine nature.

PRAYER
