After years I am thankful for God's arrangement and prevention.

There is hidden breathing technique. Coming to pray reading.
Yes, I fully agree, we can experience this in intimate time with Word of God. This is my experience especially in first years of my christian life.
When I was reading, I was touched by God, by His Word so much, that I was crying, amazed, and repeating verses. That was so beautiful.

That is why I was drawn and convinced and happy, that WN had the same. I was naive at that time.
So yes, we can experience reading and contacting in prayer with the Lord!
And, yes, for sure this is the best way of approaching to Bible. Not with mind only, but with open heart and in prayer.
But do we really have to name everything and make definitions?
WL even eternal live could put in practice by exercising spirit!
I only hope that God was not disturbing him...

But I never accepted, that only by repetition we are able to experience it, and by our power or work enforce Holy Spirit to come.
God is not sandwich machine! You put coin in and sandwich pop up!
I've never understood this practice and to be honest, if I did it, it was weak, and only several times. And IF I got any nourishment from this it was by Grace and my open heart
This practice is only proving man's control and WL's conception to find a perfect method.
I am ready to believe, that WL was simply, humble brother, who wanted the best for church.
But I do afraid also, that all deceived false teachers was like that.
That was my two cents about pray reading.

Agreed. What I think learning pray-reading did for me, and which I have retained, is that the word can be taken as prayer and also out-loud. That is, instead of just reading the word (nothing wrong with that), silently to myself, I can also turn it into prayer. Additionally there's the benefit it has in hearing the word aloud with our ears. So this serves to get several things going - our mind, mouth, ears and hopefully spirit. And to me, scripture is the very best affirmation - it's what He knows and sees about everything, including what is true of His children. So I need to pickle my mind in His word every day, and one good way to do that is pray-reading!
