They (the Bereans) received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Acts 17:11 - KJV.
You have to come to God's Word with a teachable spirit, a mind ready to receive and a heart with all its windows open to the Light. You can do this - all you need to do is acknowledge that God's Word is sure to possess a Way better than your way, a Will better than your will and a Wisdom better than your wisdom.
You need to be actively hearing the Word as the Spirit ministers it in life-giving power. You have to seek out the Word in faith allowing it entrance to your heart. Coming to the Word with all openness to it is pre-request for receiving life, liberty and glory from the Word.
