Powerful, Life-Changing Benefits from Christian Meditation!
Christian meditation can benefit our lives in more ways than we can count.
True meditation comes from the heart and with a desire to please God;
not with an attitude of what’s in it for me.
A key point to note: The Bible commands us to meditate and obedience to God’s Word always benefits our life.
Meditation on God’s Word Draws Us Closer to Him and Brings Blessings
Christian meditation is based on the Word of God. Meditating daily helps reveal God and causes us to be blessed. David discovered this too, and tells us in Psalm 1:1-2 that those who delight themselves in the law of the Lord and meditate on it day and night are blessed.
Meditation on God’s Word is time spent with God. And like all relationships, time invested helps make it stronger and more intimate.
Life and Grace Come Out of the Word of God
From the Word of God comes life. God has already given us everything that pertains to life and godliness (spiritual training). Grace and peace are multiplied through the knowledge of God and His divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. (2 Peter 1: 2-3)
Meditation taps into a source of blessings that goes beyond the natural world. It allows us to tap into the very life of God.
Our Purpose, Inheritance, and the Promises of God are Revealed in His Word
We were created for a purpose. And looking to our Creator will reveal His plan, so that we can live a fulfilling life. The Lord says He has plans to prosper us and not to harm us; plans to give us hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)
“We have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things after the counsel of His own will.” – Ephesians 1:11
If we want to know God’s will for our lives, then we need to read His will. How can we claim our inheritance if we don’t know what belongs to us?
God’s Word is loaded with the next promise just waiting to be launched in our life. The Bible tells us we have been given exceeding great and precious promises so that we might be partakers of His divine nature. (2 Peter 1:4) God delights in honoring His promises that we bring to Him.
Mark my words: Meditating brings about revelation of God’s Word and causes us to act on it. This in turn results in the manifestation of God’s promises and blessings in our lives. A purposeful, victorious life comes when we are connected to the life of God.
Is Christian meditation a part of your daily life?

Discover Tips on Where, How, and When to Meditate
Christian meditation is very natural and should be a normal part of every believer’s life.
Keep in mind, as with anything new…
there can be a time of adjustment getting meditation fit into the normal flow of our daily schedule.
Now, how do we go about meditating?
Where and How Should I Meditate?
Meditation can take place almost anywhere. It is probably best to find a quiet, comfortable place with some privacy. A natural setting is ideal. Really, though, it is possible to meditate where ever you find yourself. In your room, at your desk, walking in the park, driving in your car; all of these are just a few options.
Where we meditate is going to depend on the type of meditation and technique to be used.
For example if we intend to do an intense study on a specific subject, we are going to need a quiet, private place where we can read and take notes. The same might be the case in times of meditative prayer confessing scripture and opening our hearts to hear from the Lord.
However, if we’ll be listening to a recording of biblical verses and affirmations to memorize and confess, we could do this while driving or doing daily chores around the house. If you start doing your meditation in the same place every day, your mind and body will begin to know your intention and it will make the process even easier.
What Should I Meditate?
What should we focus on in Christian meditation? There are almost endless subjects from the Word of God to meditate on. The following verse will help us out and is also a great one to check our self with throughout the day.
“Whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” — Philippians 4:8
We might just open the Bible and reflect on something that jumps out and speaks to our heart, or a certain scripture might come to mind. God might also give us an intense interest in a subject as a cue for meditation.
When Should I Meditate?
Christian meditation can take place just about any time. However, there are two key times we can actively turn our minds over to God’s Word for maximum results.
Upon awakening, filling our minds with God’s Word first thing in the morning is a great way to start the day. Meditating on the Word of God just before falling asleep will replay it over and over in our mind during the night.
Regardless of the where, how, what, and when: Our relationship with God should be a priority. Daily time in God’s Word will allow Him to speak to us throughout the day. The divine light can shine in our life through Christian meditation.
Why not purpose to make it a daily habit and get started meditating today?

Powerful Spiritual Meditation – Why Should Christians Meditate?
Powerful Spiritual Meditation – Why Should Christians Meditate?
The Powerful “Lost Art” of Christian Meditation
Christian meditation is a choice and a positive, life transforming choice at that.
The Bible makes it clear that meditation is for His children.
However, meditation seems to be a “lost art” for most believers these days.
Yet whether we realize it or not, as Christians today we have a deep spiritual need to meditate.
This is the reason many believers so easily get drawn into evil spiritual activity, which the Bible warns about often.
The list of reasons why Christians should meditate is practically endless. Let’s look at some of the key purposes of biblical meditation.
God Commands Us to Meditate on His Word
How about the fact that the Bible commands us to? God says to meditate on His Word day and night so we will obey it.
“…you shall meditate day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written…”
— Joshua 1:8
How can we do and obey without first having an understanding of what is required? Meditation on the kingdom of God way of living gives us that knowledge. It also empowers us to act on it.
Meditation Helps Manifest God’s Blessings and Promises in Our Life
Manifestation of the blessings and promises of God are a result of meditating on scripture. As we meditate, our understanding of God and His ways will draw us closer to Him.
Our faith and love will increase along with the desire to please God in a greater way. Meditation, and the gathering of knowledge alone, will not manifest results. Action on this revealed knowledge is required to receive the blessings.
In the same verse quoted earlier we see that it goes on to say that blessing can be expected when we meditate and then act on God’s Word.
“…then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.”
— Joshua 1:8
Revelation of God’s Laws Benefits Society
God’s word is packed full of eternal mysteries just waiting for the diligent, faithful believer to discover. And just as discoveries in the natural world, benefit society, so do spiritual discoveries reflected in the living Word of God.
Electricity has always been, but think about how the discovery of this law greatly impacted the world. With discovery comes progress. And the discoveries found in God’s laws have the greatest power for transformation.
Case in point: Meditation on the laws of God’s kingdom can take us out of the spiritual Stone Age and into a life where spiritual wonders and miracles await.
Are you ready to make Christian meditation a habit in your life?

What Is Christian Meditation And Why Is It Vital For You To Know?
What Is Christian Meditation And Why Is It Vital For You To Know?
A Look Into Christian Meditation
Christian meditation is based on God’s Word: The Bible.
There are various techniques, methods, and ways to meditate.
The important thing, as a believer, is to understand what it is and how this powerful practice transforms lives.
The truth is: A key to a successful and prosperous life is discovering what Christian meditation is and making it a daily habit in life.
Christian Meditation Defined
To meditate is to ponder, think deeply, affirm, contemplate, think over, muse, reflect, speculate, memorize, confess, pray, recite, sing, speak, and practice focused study on the Word of God.
The Bible says that those who delight in the law of the Lord, and in His law meditate day and night, they are blessed. (Psalm 1:1-2).
Meditation is sometimes referred to as our spiritual digestive system; which breaks down the Word of God and digests it in our spirit.
“Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.”
— Jeremiah 15:16
Meditate on the Word of God by taking it in and chewing on it over and over. Consider it part of your daily nutrition, just as you do your regular meals. You might know that a meal is full of vital nutrients. You might be able to see and smell that it is good. However, it is quite obvious that the food will not nourish and benefit your life until you consume it and eat it.
Christian Meditation in Action
Christian meditation involves the process of actively thinking on scriptures. We give ourselves to the study of the Word by immersing ourselves in it in various ways. It also involves praying over it and asking God to give us understanding by His Spirit; who promised to lead us in all truth.
“The Spirit of truth will guide you in all truth.”
— John 16:13
Following the discovery and understanding of these truths, we are to put them into action in our lives. A commitment is made to make the things of God our standard for daily living.
Meditate on the Word of God until it becomes more real to you than anything else. Begin to make the power of meditation a daily habit. Then act on the truths revealed by the Holy Spirit. This will cause spiritual growth in your life and bring success.
Real knowledge, revelation, and success in life come from the habit of meditating on God’s Word.
No doubt about it: God places a great emphasis on His Word. Scripture tells us that He sustains everything by His Word. So as Christian believers, we should also place a great emphasis on it and daily meditate on the life transforming power of God’s Word.
Are you ready to make Christian meditation a priority in your life?
God bless you,
Brenda

How Fast Can You Get the Abundance You Want? A Key to God Speed the Process!
How Fast Can You Get the Abundance You Want?
Abundance – A Key to God Speed the Process!
Abundance can be manifested at a faster rate once you develop yourself. Soon you’ll be off and running.
Start where you are. Learning to walk begins with a crawl, and learning to run begins with a jog. It is a process to develop ourselves and see improvement. And just because we fall when learning to walk, doesn’t mean we give up and crawl our whole life.
First things first, in order to manifest a desire we must clearly define and vision that desire. We must believe and have faith that we will receive it.
Once we see and hear the desire in our thoughts, then we must SPEAK it. This is the key.
Hearing Your Voice – Speaking Your Confession – is Key to Quickly Attracting Abundance!
Your abundance will manifest more quickly if you speak, quote, meditate, and confess it to yourself out loud. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Hearing it deposits it into your heart. Proverbs says, that we are what we think in our hearts (23:7).
Are you with me? If you believe and stand in faith for something, speak it to yourself daily and it will be attracted to you quicker. Your voice speaking the Word of God has a powerful force that enters into your spirit, and you receive that force.
Faith is a law and you make it work and prosper by applying confession. Daily confession will develop your faith at a much faster rate.
To be on track, confess what God’s Word has to say about your desire and belief. Make sure they line up and then put the power of His Word to work in your life by hearing yourself speaking it daily.
Example of Sample Confessions for Financial Abundance:
God wants me to prosper. (3 John 2)
I am a generous person and I prosper. (Prov. 11:25)
I delight myself in the Lord and He gives me the desires of my heart. (Psalm 37:4)
I acknowledge God who gives me the power to get wealth. (Deut. 8:18)
I honor God with my tithe and my bank accounts are filled with plenty. (Prov. 3:9-10)
So there you have it: Speak abundance, and keep speaking abundance. Get God’s Word firmly planted in your spirit with daily affirmations and know that you know it is true in you. Once you are sure, you will move into God speed and quickly manifest your desired abundance.
May you continue to experience growing prosperity in your life!
Be blessed to be a blessing,
Brenda
Simple Affirmation Power From A Single Bible Verse
Simple Affirmation Power From A Single Bible Verse
How Can a Single Affirmation Provide Power?
Affirmation power can simply come from a single verse. Are you making your daily affirmation routine complicated? Do you feel like you need pages of affirmations to get the results you desire?
If so, I’m here today to say ‘wrong’!
You CAN keep it simple and get results.
This is especially true if your affirmation is based on the Word of God. There is amazing power to discover from simply meditating on a single Bible verse.
Meditating on the Word does NOT have to be a struggle!
Start by choosing a verse that seems to jump out at you, or that you connect with. You may not even understand why you are feeling attracted to that particular verse. Just go with it and start the process of planting it in your heart.
Write the verse down and personalize it as your own affirmation. Keep it with you and read it to yourself as often as you think of it. Meditate on it and confess it as much as possible. Record yourself reading it and listen to it over and over.
Even if you don’t think it will have an effect – just do it anyway. Why? Because we are told that God’s Word will not return void. You can have confidence that when you speak it, it will be accomplished and prosper. (Isaiah 55:11)
My Personal Experience
A few years ago I added some verses to my personal goals and business plan. I kept a copy with me and read it often. Then I recorded it and listened to it regularly. Unfortunately, I stopped my daily affirmations and confessions for awhile and results in that area slowed almost to a stop.
But the Word that had already been planted kept attracting me back to those goals. This also reminded me to continue with the affirmations, which created a positive cycle.
One single verse that I confessed and focused on, and still confess regularly is:
“Be generous. A generous man will prosper. He who refreshes others will he himself be refreshed.”
Proverbs 11:24-25
I recognized recently that I am prospering in new areas that I have been generous to others in. I then thought of that simple affirmation and so appreciate the power of it shaping my life. Believe me, for years I struggled and taking time for affirmations seemed to be a total waste of time. It seemed a joke. But I can’t say it enough – God’s Word will not return void!!
If any of this rings true, I challenge you to keep it simple. Grab hold of a verse from the Word of God. Make it your own and discover the life changing power you can have from a single affirmation.
May you continue to experience growing prosperity in your life!
God bless & soar higher,
Brenda
