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 –

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 Mediation on God's WordChristian 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,

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.

God Speed AbundanceStart 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

How to Prosper by Overcoming Anxiety with Abundant Favor!

How to Prosper by Overcoming Anxiety with Abundant Favor!

God Gives an Abundance of Favor for Your Confidence to Prosper

Our minds often get conditioned to accept a low level of confidence because of past experiences we’ve had as far back as our childhood. The stresses, pressures and daily attacks on our minds can have us living in fear, anxiety and depression. However, that does not have to be the case.

God’s love and favor heals insecurities and anxieties!

Begin to realize the divine favor you have with God and man and learn how to put it to work in your life. God’s blessing of favor flowing in your life is not based on your background, talents, or anything you have learned.  Ephesians 6:24 says that grace is with all those that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Grace means favor you do not deserve.

Start the favor of God flowing in your life by daily confessing what God promises. Then you will see yourself walking in His favor in every area of your life. Speak words of favor over and over during the day until your spirit is revived.  When the truth of God’s love and favor get planted into your spirit, it will replace the insecurities and anxieties you have.

Many people confess doubt and failure over and over during their lifetime until their spirit is depressed and broken. Do not be one of those people! Within just a few days you can experience a very dramatic change with God’s abundant favor.
 

Get started right now with these confessions on favor and confidence:

I am blessed with God’s grace. God pours out on me a river of favor with God and with those around me.

You, Lord bless me with favor and You surround me as with a shield. (Psalm 5:12)

I have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16)

The Greater One lives in me. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

I am being filled with God’s fullness. I am being rooted and grounded in love. God is doing exceeding and abundantly above all that I ask or think. His mighty power is taking over in me. (Eph. 3:17-20)

I grow strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace and favor of God is upon me. (Luke 2:40)

The truth of God’s Word makes me free. (John 8:32)

Thank You, Lord, that I have favor with You and man and people go out of their way to bless me and do good to me today.

Favor flows by standing on the living Word of God in faith.  Reject the negative things you have been feeding into your mind. Accept only what the Lord has told you. Repeat the above confessions until doubt disappears.

Learn to walk in God’s favor. It is for you today. Speak favor. Live favor. Be prosperous. Live life expecting something great to happen daily and it will. Remember, with God nothing is impossible. Let His truth take root in you. Favor is God’s promise to every believer from His Word. All you have to do is receive it and prosper.

Enjoy growing prosperity as the favor of God flows in your life!

God bless you,
Brenda
