Christian Meditation – What Areas of My Life Can I Expect to Improve by Meditating?

Meditation Benefits and Affirmations to Get You Started!

Christian meditation should be a foundational practice in every believer’s life. Meditating on God’s Word greatly improves the quality of life in every area.

Anyone can access the benefits of meditation. Whatever your beliefs may be, we all live in the world God created. That being said…

it is through meditation on the living Word of God that ultimately manifests the blessings of God.

Take a look at some ways our lives will improve:

Meditation Brings Mental Stability

The mind has creative power and we are told to prepare our minds. (1 Peter 1:13)

God’s Word causes joy and rejoicing in our heart. It changes the way we see our self, our family, and our future. It helps us start seeing our self and our life the way God does.

Sample biblical affirmations to meditate on for a sound mind:

  • I have been given a spirit of power and love and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
  • God is not the author of confusion but of peace. (1 Corinthians 14:33)
  • God keeps me in perfect peace because my mind is stayed on Him. (Isaiah 26:3)

Meditation Blesses us Physically

Meditation is like medicine. It is life to our spirit and flesh. Everything we need is in the word. Once we act on the meditated Word of God, we tap into the abundance of God. Physical and financial provision has already been provided, but it is up to us to act in order to receive.

Sample biblical affirmations to meditate on for physical needs:

  • I prosper and I am in health, just as my soul prospers. (3 John 2)
  • The Lord heals all my diseases and keeps me from destruction. (Psalm 103:3-4)
  • The Lord sent His Word and healed me. (Psalm 107:20)
  • By Jesus stripes I was healed. (1 Peter 2:24)

Meditation Provides Spiritual Growth

Physical and emotional blessings are just the natural created gifts we receive when we meditate and spend time in His presence. Faith, love and spiritual growth in many areas will also soon begin to manifest.

Sample biblical affirmations to meditate on for spiritual growth:

  • Christ dwells in my heart through faith and I am rooted and grounded in love and grow in God’s love, which passes knowledge, and I am filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:17-19)

As we tap into the abundance of God and His never ending supply, we will begin to experience growing prosperity in all areas of our lives. And meditation, which affects us both spiritually and physically, is part of God’s plan.

What is your next step? Take what you have just learned and put it to work in your life. Then watch as the power of Christian meditation transforms your life!

God bless you,

A Majestic God – Psalm 8 Christian Meditation Video

A Majestic God – Psalm 8 Christian Meditation Video

A great video reminder by bluefishtv of how majestic our Lord is!

“O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!
who have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you ordained strength
because of your enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
What is man, that you are mindful of him?
and the son of man that you visit him?
For you have made him a little lower than the angels,
and have crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him to have domininion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever
passes through the paths of the seas.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!”
— Psalm 8

God bless you,

What is the Difference Between Christian Meditation and Biblical Affirmations?

What is the Difference Between Christian Meditation and Biblical Affirmations?

Discover How Meditation and Affirmations Compare and Can Transform Your Life!

Christian meditation involves renewing our minds with the Word of God.

Christian meditation and biblical affirmations literally help transform our lives by changing the content of our hearts and minds.

This changes the way we think… Why?

The simple fact of the matter is: The more healthy our beliefs, the quicker we reject unhealthy ones.

How do meditation and affirmations differ? Affirming scripture is considered a form of meditation. Affirmations help take negative thoughts captive by replacing them with God’s Word.

Christian Meditation

There are various methods and ways for Christians to meditate. One might study, consider, confess, memorize or use positive biblical affirmations to name a few. When we meditate, we contemplate and reflect on the things of God with a deep focus. 

Meditation is a way to approach God and gain a greater understanding of Him.

“The meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.” 
— Psalm 49:3

When we meditate we take in the Word of God and gain nourishment and wisdom. The scriptures begin to fit together for us much better and the mysteries of God begin to be revealed.

Meditating God’s Word is meditating His ways and His will. Gaining a greater revelation of these things helps us to better please God and at the same time learn how to walk in His blessings.

Biblical Affirmations

Biblical affirmations are bible verses stated in a positive, first person, present tense form. The power of affirmation comes with repetition and speaking them out loud. Daily confessing and speaking what the Word of God says about us can truly be life-transforming.

Most often, affirmations will be confessed based on a desired area of life that is in need of help or encouragement. If that area, for example, is healing, then a selection of healing scriptures will be confessed over and over. These might include healing affirmations such as: “By Jesus stripes I am healed” and “My God is the Lord that heals me.”

These affirmations get deposited into our subconscious, and our subconscious takes in everything as if it is real. So what we repeatedly fill our hearts and minds with is what we eventually become.

 “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” 
— Proverbs 23:7

The Bible emphasizes in Luke 6:45 that a good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good, for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart. So we need to pay attention to what we are filling up our heart with.

The truth is: What we think about and talk about we manifest in our life, whether good or bad. Christian meditation and biblical affirmations play a vital role in the believer’s life. 

How often are you meditating on God’s Word?

God bless you –

Self-Esteem – How Can Meditation and Affirmations Increase Your Confidence?

Self-Esteem – How Can Meditation and Affirmations Increase Your Confidence?

Boldy Affirm the Power of Who You Are In Him!

Self-esteem is a powerful driving force in our lives. Are you a victim of low self-confidence? Do you avoid taking on responsibilities and asserting your individuality? Do you shrink from everything that draws attention to yourself and have no faith in your abilities?

Self-Esteem Biblical Meditation Affirmations If this describes you, then you’ll want to begin immediately putting the power of meditation and affirmations to work in your life.

Persistently meditating and confessing positive affirmations over yourself will result in strengthening your weak qualities, building character, and making your life more favorable and noble.

The truth is, as a child of God you should be victory minded. 🙂

You should give great importance to building up your confidence and self-esteem. A lack of confidence in yourself is a poor reflection on the Creator who pronounced everything He made as good.

Lack of faith in yourself is nothing but lack of faith in Him.

Meditation and affirmations should be a daily routine. Think and speak what you desire to be. When you confess what God says about you, you will begin to see a new self-image.

It’s only a matter of time until what you think about and how you see yourself on the inside is what your life will look like on the outside. If you will get the image of God’s Word in you, you will raise your self-esteem.

The following strong, positive affirmations are very suggestive and will help get you started in boosting your personal image by meditating and confessing them daily:

  • I am a child of God and I am made in His image and likeness.
  • I prosper in God’s good plan for my life.
  • I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
  • I have a spirit of power, and love, and a sound mind.
  • I have the mind of Christ.
  • I have the ability to do what my Creator sent me here to do.
  • I wait on the Lord and He renews my strength.

Truth be told: There’s no limit to the confidence you can build with powerful affirmations and meditation. Let the spirit of you, the real you, constantly affirm the power of who you are in Him. You are somebody special. God has a purpose and plan for your life, just waiting to unfold. Dare to boldly confess who you are and boost your self-esteem.

May your positive meditations and affirmations bring you growing prosperity!

God bless you –

Brenda
