2 Peter 1:20, "knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,"
"Well, this is what it means to me" is the worst interpretative framework ever devised by man. Followed closely by, "the Lord told me".
For example, there has been a long-standing false 'interpretation' that the US is Babylon the Great from Revelation 17. This interpretation is totally incorrect, it is irresponsible to the text, and it may be boldly spoken that this framework is defaming to the character of God. Every claim that 'America will be destroyed by God in judgment' is an utterly false claim, and those who do so do not understand God's righteous judgment, nor His mercy, nor His forbearance. In the mighty words of Jesus, "You do not know what spirit you are of."
Real and genuine prophetic ministry is abhorred at the insult to grace and life, at the 'strip-mall' level theology it represents, and the lack of spiritual understanding that passes for 'prophetic' words, especially on social media, but also in the celebrity 'prophetic' ministry world, almost all of which have been found out to be totally fake.

Proverbs 28:13, "He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy."
This principle is the foundation of any real and actual discipleship. There is not enough room here to unpack the whole thing, but I can say this much, find somebody you can tell the truth to, all of it.
The word for cover is 'kasah', and it means simply to cover up, hide, to conceal.

If I cover my own sins: I create a phony persona, a lie, presenting myself as something and someone I am not. Whatever sins I hide with this method, I also add to by lying about it. Now I have to cover the original sin problem, and the subsequent sin problem that I made by covering it up. And then it becomes a cycle of lying, covering, shame, denial, more lies, more shame, on and on.

Left unhealed and unchecked, it can create some serious spiritual/emotional/mental issues. There are many people who have followed the path of self cover for so long, they have given themselves an emotional fracture, like a fault line, a personality split as it were, and now live in an alternate reality, not only denying and refusing to face the truth, but they are not able to do so. These cases have, imo, transitioned out of the ministry of the counselor into the ministry of deliverance.

Listen, it is way better to just confess it, start small till you can get it all out, confess it and forsake it and you will find mercy -not judgment- mercy.

Proverbs 25:28, "Whoever has no rule over his own spirit Is like a city broken down, without walls."
Observation: 1. People have a spirit, saved and unsaved alike, we are created body, soul, and spirit. 2. 'Rule over' has to include these aspects: discerning between what is the human spirit and a demonic spirit, and the Holy Spirit; self awareness mainly of weaknesses and tendencies toward self-deception; self discipline, the internal mechanism which facilitates life change, emotional regulation, mental stability, and internal peace. #3. "A city broken down, without walls," indicating a personal life of dysfunction, disrepair, disarmed, and defenselessness, unable to keep out predators, unable to even know what should be allowed in or kept out.

Self-control cannot be overstated. It takes time to develop. There will be pain involved. Self-discipline is painful. Lazy is easy. Broken is easy. Living in denial is easier than facing shame. Face it anyway.

Control yourself.

A Friday morning quote from one of our BLLC classes!

d. Principles of Humility
1) Humility before God and man is a sign of mature character.
a) Leadership is dangerous and abusive unless humility
guides it.

2) Humility is recognizing your own limitations and God’s
ability to compensate for them.
a) It is bowing down before God on a continual basis,
acknowledging His supremacy over all creation, His
sovereign ability to intervene in all circumstances, and His
authority to rule without rival over us.

3) Humility can be seen in a person’s response to correction.
a) Is correction received or……? (Proverbs 9:8)

b) How do they respond when they are told 'no'?

4) Humility can be seen in being quick to repent when wrong.
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9

One thousand nine hundred ninety four years ago the Mosaic covenant was dissolved, a new covenant was inaugurated, with a better Mediator, better promises, and a far better inheritance.
One thousand nine hundred fifty four years ago, the Mosaic covenant was forcibly closed, the Temple destroyed. It is and has been impossible to keep or maintain the Mosaic covenant.
There is only one covenant that can be kept, only one that is recognized and accepted by God, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
There is only one door. His name is Jesus!

The most productive, life-changing, and hardest Bible study that anyone can do is the inductive method.
Basically, there are three 'steps'.
Observation, or what does it say
Interpretation, what does that mean
Application, how can I apply that to my life (with the intention of becoming more like Christ, or as a part of my personal discipleship, which should be the same thing)

Most of the hard work is done in that first step. The hardest part of it is to allow the text to simply say what it says, without the framework of an interpretative view that gives the meaning beforehand. These frameworks go by several different names, but the point is this. In order to determine what any passage is saying, those frameworks must be put aside.
There are several rules that should be adopted in Bible study by any serious student. Grammar, sentence structure, word meanings, historical grammatical, and contextual consistency.
The next hardest part is to adjust your preconceived intrepretive conclusions . Everybody goes into a Bible study with preconceived ideas of what it says and what it means. But when you actually do read the words, and possibly/probably realize that your preconceived conclusions were incorrect, then you must adjust your mind to what the Bible actually says. In other words you have to change.
And that ain't easy.

The idea of personal discipline (that is, controlling yourself, your mind, will, and emotions) and daily crucifixion of the flesh are indispensable tools.
