I’ve been sharing the importance of meditation the last couple of days. Today, I want to give an example of how meditation in the Word of God changed my life. The Word cancelled fear in my life! Due to circumstances when I was young I developed a fear of rejection. I developed a self-consciousness that feared people’s responses to my words and actions. I would walk into a room and immediately size up who was there and how people viewed me. My thinking had a default setting th

There is no real change in the life of the believer without meditation in the Word. Meditation means speaking the Word aloud slowly or revolving it around in the mind over and over again. The Word will not affect you until it gets from your head to your underlying thought patterns, called the spirit of your mind in Ephesians 4:23. Notice Psalm 1:1-3: Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer (Psalm 19:14). The Hebrew word for meditation here means to meditate, mutter, roar, speak, study, talk, or to utter. The Hebrew word gives reference to a murmuring sound. When we’re deep in thought we sometimes speak under our breath aloud. That’s the idea of meditating here. Take specific scripture and let them revolve over and over in your thoughts. That

Meditation in the Word will change you! There is simply no such thing as a believer who meditates in the Word not changing. Ten to fifteen minutes a day of meditation in the Word of God can overcome years of wrong thinking and believing. As I mentioned yesterday, meditation takes the Word from your surface thought life down into the very recesses of what you think and believe!  You meditate two ways: by speaking the word slowly out loud, and by cogitating it over and over men

Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on His name. They shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, on the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him (Malachi 3:16-17). It’s a special thing to the Father for us to think about Him, to talk about Him, and for us to occupy our minds with

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Meditation drops the Word of God from your head to your spirit. Taking time to meditate every day will keep your spirit fine-tuned. M

Meditation is one of God’s methods for the believer to develop spiritually. Meditation takes the Word and drops it from the head to the heart. Ten to Fifteen minutes spent daily in meditation will build the Word into your spirit. Faith will blossom. Intimacy with God will increase. I spend time daily meditating the Word. I frequently meditate on faith, healing, answered prayer, who I am in Christ, the Love of God, and on scriptures that deal with personal relationships. We’re

So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls (James 1:21-NLT) The Word has the power to produce deep and lasting change in the believer. The implanted word saves the soul or renews the mind. When it comes to us changing, we will not change until our belief system changes. Let me explain. We have basically two kinds of thoughts; conscious thoughts, and underlying thought p

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things (Philippians 4:8). For us to experience the best that God has for us in this life, we must take control of our thought life. Most people allow their thought to wander unbridled throughout the day. Thought

He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions (Psalm 107:20). The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you (Romans 8:11-NLT) The will of God will bring healing and health to you.  Jesus made healing available to you when He bore your sins (Psalm 103:3; Isaiah 53:3-5; Matthew 8:17). It’s important to
