I just bought my first Bible and prayed for the first time since i was 8. I feel so happy. Your video helped so much, thank you!!

[@MsHeatherLea]

There is a big backstory to this but I wanted to let you know this. Tonight as I drove home I cried out to God asking for Him to send me a message on how to start reading the Bible, really reading it and studying it and understanding it. I was previously listening to the 4 gospels and was so confused and couldn't understand them, that's when I couldn't stop crying and prayed for help and to please send me a good message on where to start, what this all means and how to break it all down. I then clicked here after 15 to 20 minutes of really praying about it. Your video was for me! I know God sent this to me. I was completely calm in listening to this and I knew it was Him. Keep sharing the good stuff❤

[@aocnetwork]

Love this! Very well done.

[@itscarly9266]

I converted to Christianity when I was 5 years old and I remember my mom would read the scriptures to me before bed. We usually read the Old Testament and I particularly enjoyed reading Esther, Daniel, and Exodus. Then about a year ago I decided I wanted to get back into reading the Bible on my own and I’m currently reading the book of John. And I am so glad I got into reading the Bible again. I’ve always considered myself a strong Christian but I often feel a sense of guilt for not having read my Bible for years on my own. The Bible is so refreshing and it can get really addicting. Time seems to fly by after reading for a little while. Even as a person who has been raised as a Christian her entire life, this video was still super helpful! I’m excited to read through some commentaries as I get through each book. Thank you 💜 God bless

[@conecte-seemcristo2235]

God bless you. Have a Nice day in JESUS CRISTH Name amen.

[@melissamathews4329]

I wanted to grow closer to God thus started reading the Bible. I started at the old testament. However, I felt stuck and uninspired to continue reading. I was actually planning to ask someone exactly what you said in the video. God has heard my prayers 🙌. Thank you so much, Mia!

[@donavanjohnson409]

This is some nice tips for beginners to read the Bible God bless you Mia Proud Christian ✝️

[@Em_-en2xp]

I’ve always struggled with sticking to the time and a,ways forget and or just not doing it. I’ve gotten better but it’s not easy. For beginners I would set an alarm and then lock everything up or put the things that distract you in an another room and just set time then. Reading everyday is a big commitment but you got this!

[@QzSuZie]

I am 37 years old and I've learned more from you then years of older pastors! Thank you! You have helped me in so many ways and fixed many frustrations I've been having trying to start my renewed journey with the Lord and the Bible! I'm reading thru it for the first time and I'm sooo excited but was having a few frustrations and you have helped me sooo much! I can't wait to start diving in again! Bless you and your guidance! You are TRULY an inspiration ❤

Amazing one happened upon your KZbin and made my heart overflow. In my 70's and rarely leave a comment. Have taught bible studies for young women many years. Be encouraged what a powerful, knowledgeable young woman you are. Grateful and expectant as God continues to lead and teach in and through you for His Glory! You shine Jesus and are radiant!!

[@ItsClarasLife]

LOVE this!! I originally started with Genesis cause I wanted to read front to back but I wasn’t consistent, so I recently started the gospels and I’ve totally seen a change in my life!

[@jacobgarcia9536]

Mia I am absolutely impressed with the videos that you have been making this one is on point and it's so amazing how well you explain it from beginning to end thank you so much for your faithfulness it is truly amazing to see and I hope that you continue to walk with God throughout your everyday life even when trials and tribulations come forth because your faith is so amazing to witness for all these beginners that are out here trying to figure this out may God bless you and keep you in the name of Jesus Amen

[@kadence1artist749]

Thank you so much, I've always wanted to be close to God but never have known how because I live with my dad because my parents are divorced and my dad does not believe in the holy. My mom didn't for quite a while until she met my stepdad her fiance right now, and his family is big into religion and the gospel and the Bible. But we were very close for so many years until recent couple of months I've decided I want to get close to God. Because I have seen what he's done to people's lives and how much he's changed them for the better good, and it makes me so happy.

[@jimgerson955]

Very intelligent and well spoken young girl. Her parents must be so proud.

[@authorscout888]

GREATER THAN A BREATH OF FRESH AIR! ❤ You my dear sister in Christ would make any father proud and any brother overly protective. God has placed a crown of wisdom on your head. I pray that you stay true to the path he has laid out to you. You are exactly what this current generation needs more of. I hope they head your unedited words of wisdom. I also pray for your future husband, may he be made just as wise and beome as humbeled as you have been. May you both as one set a perfect example for our heavenly father and his kingdom whenever that day comes for you. You are exactly what every wise man would want in a future wife. Keep it up young lady and stay the course knowing you are loved. God Bless!

I'm up to "Where to Start" and have to agree with you. Recently I was bemoaning the fact that after becoming a Christian in 1975, I felt as if I'm just getting started. Then I heard a wonderful Bible teacher called Derek Prince say, "After 45 years of intensive Bible Study, I've barely scratched the surface. Looking on your window ledge, I'm reminded of that unwritten commandment, "Covet not thy neighbours highlighter pens, nor their study Bible...nor their tidy work area..." I agree with you regarding the Gospels. Also, I like your methodical study tips. If you're looking for another Bible Study tool, I'd recommend these two: 1. An app called Logos (there's a free version that does everything need.) 2. Study bibles like the McArthur or the Jeremiah Study Bible. My takeout from this video: Write down questions as I go in my journal. 🤦 D'oh! I should have started doing that back in '75!

[@brittanibaloga]

I just circle a bible verse that stands out the most to me, and go back to the start of the Bible and highlight the chapters that I just circled, and at my church for this thing all charged up we were giving a book mark of bible chapters from Old Testament to New Testament so I might start using the book mark to get me into reading the Bible one day at a time I love your channel so much

I don't like organized religion... Man-made churches have failed to reach inner city and many other places...for example... only 5 percent of long Islanders go to church... I cannot except that statistic so I'm trying to start my own ministry...BY THE GRACE OF GOD I'LL GET THERE 😃 It's great to see a young person with godly knowledge and a fervent love for God's word

Thank you Mia for this great introduction to GOD and the Bible. I have been struggling to start as a Christian and this really helps me.

I also watched some of your other videos on how to grow your faith and just love the passion I see in your eyes. This makes it more authentic which is what I also aspire to be! Feith can be fun and the way you demonstrate it, really opened my eyes and thoughts! God bless and thanks again 😍🥰!
