“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.”
Hebrews 1:3 NIV

The Son is the radiance of God's glory. Wow. And the Son is the sustainer of all things, and he does it through the power of His Word. His Word is all you need. Not money, not a car, not a job, not a business, not a house, but the Word. The thing is, that when people read the Word or teach It, they teach it in its letter form. And what does the Bible say about it?
“He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
2 Corinthians 3:6 NIV
http://bible.com/111/2co.3.6.niv
It is the Spirit that giveth life, and we know that it gives it to the full (the Spirit is Jesus) and from earlier lessons, we understand that to understand God's Word we must be spiritual. So, what 2 Corinthians 3:6 is saying is that we shouldn't read the Bible in its letter form, as this will only confuse us and kill our faith. But if we read it in its Spirit form, it will give us revelations and the true connection with God's Spirit that so many of us desire. To connect, just begin to meditate and think through a verse. Repeat the same for other verses. Keep on reading the Word!
