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.

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,

Abundant Life – Are You Meant to Prosper? How to Grab Hold of Your Growing Prosperity!
Abundant Life – Are You Meant to Prosper? How to Grab Hold of Your Growing Prosperity!
Plant Seeds of Empowerment and Get In Position to
Reach the Abundant Life
Growing prosperity is available for all of us to reach out and grab hold of.
The abundant life is just waiting for you to take part.
I have to warn you though: The ‘grabbing hold of’ is not always an easy task. However, if you are like me, the challenge just makes you say all the louder, “Game on!”
The trick of this game is to get some things settled once and for all up front. A settled determination plants seeds of empowerment in you and will help prevent defeat from hindering your progress.
Set yourself up in a position to reach the abundant life right at the get go!
Yes, You Were Designed to Prosper
Right off the bat, be settled in the fact that it is God’s plan that you prosper. Jeremiah 29:11 says that God has plans to prosper you and give you a hope and future. Be settled in that truth whether you are on the mountain top or in the valley. God said it, so it’s settled, and that’s that.
Just because you are going through a tough time Does NOT mean God changed His mind.
Of course the enemy would sure like you to believe that. If satan can get your eyes off God and turned toward him, he is pleased. And if he can then get you to start running your mouth against God and begin speaking his lies, he’s got you hook, line, and sinker.
What are You Thinking on and Speaking on?
“For as he thinks in his heart so is he.” – Proverbs 23:7
Don’t be fooled: The dominate thoughts of your heart are what you can expect to come to pass in your life. Make sure they are filled with the truth of God’s Word!
Why do you think God puts such a great importance on meditating on His Word?
We are to renew our mind daily for a reason. The Word of God will guide you in all truth and keep you on the right path if you’ll get it planted in your heart and coming out your mouth. Fill yourself up with God’s Word and give the enemy no place.
The key to resist the enemy and attract growing prosperity is to start speaking the truth of God’s Word in your life.
Mark my words: If you’ll get the fact settled that you are meant to prosper, then you’ll stay in the game when the going gets tough. Let go of the ‘try and see’ attitude and live by faith. Tap into your God given empowerment for success and live the abundant life.
May truth be settled within you as you grab hold of growing prosperity!
Be blessed to be a blessing –
Cheers,
Brenda

Wisdom Stability of the Lord – Isaiah 33:6 Video
Wisdom Stability of the Lord – Isaiah 33:6
The Stability of Your Times is Found in the Lord!
“And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.”
— Isaiah 33:6
This video didn’t turn out like I intended, but the verse is still a good one! 🙂
It is also interesting, because at our mid-week service tonight, my Pastor taught some on how salvation includes not only our eternal spiritual salvation, but also the other benefits of God including spiritual, physical, and materially blessings.
He also pointed out that we need to be knowledgeable about what is available to us so we can claim it. When I look at this verse it relates…
If we want true stability we have to look to God’s Word and get it through the salvation He provided. And further wisdom and knowledge of His Word will help us tap into the great inheritance provided us. A healthy fear of the Lord, that causes us to obey His Word is a treasure greater than we can receive in this lifetime!

“I WILL extol you, O Lord; for You have lifted me up…
and you have healed me… you have kept me alive…
in His favor is life: weeping may endure for a night,
but joy comes in the morning…
You have turned my mourning into dancing…and
girded me with gladness;
To the end that my glory may sing praise to You,
and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks
unto You forever.”
