The purpose of the meditations I write is to lead you out of the business of life and into the still waters of deep thought, restful perception and therefore Presence. As you give yourself to this process you will become more God conscious, more of a worshipper, and more peaceful in how you approach life.
To meditate means to think deeply about something, it means to explore with mind and heart, allowing what you think to touch your innermost being. It means to speak out loud the promises and intentions of God over your life.
Meditation is creative thought which leads us to the higher realm of revelation and wisdom. It takes us beyond the place of reason to where joy is seated and faith is activated.
Meditation allows us to search inside and outside the box of our current paradigm. What you see and hear there touches you profoundly. It adds a sphere and horizon around the core truth of Christ, which is God within, the certainty of freedom.
Fruitful meditation is therefore not a casual seeking for revelatory insight. Initial creative thoughts are merely the X that marks the spot. There is a treasure in meditation, a guarantee of wealth in the pursuit of God, but you have to dig, and dig and dig until you find the treasure buried within.
Many are satisfied with collecting random truths on the surface of their consciousness. It is good, wholesome stuff, but it does not satisfy, and it cannot challenge the complexities of life in a warfare context.
Deep truth has to be mined over days and weeks. It takes joy and patience to take truth down to its deepest level. Beyond meeting our current needs. Beyond the depth of understanding, it releases power against our adversary. Down to the depths of where God lives in the highest places of heaven. For all meditation must ultimately come before the throne of His Majesty, sovereignty and supremacy. He fills all things with himself.
Our current situation requires wisdom, but even more it cries out for Presence. Meditation leads us to God and the permission of his heart. Learn to be in the question peacefully with God. Let the Holy Spirit teach you how to abide. Turn inwardly and rest; Wait patiently… he will come. When your heart gets restless, turn to worship. When the interior atmosphere settles, return to listening.
Write down initial thoughts but do not pursue them just yet. Do not be distracted by what you hear initially. Set it aside; come back to it later.
When first entering a lifestyle of meditation take care to ease into it slowly. An hour at first, then longer until half a day and so on.
Always have a focus; do not try to wait in a vacuum. In the meditations I write, I release life statements of life in the Spirit. Take time to process them. Enjoy the stillness of deep thinking and allow your heart to flow in and out of worship.
Use the questions as the Spirit leads. They are not prescriptive but merely a guide to enable your contemplation. No doubt you will discover better questions as the Holy Spirit tutors you.
If you wanna see things you’ve never seen before… you must be prepared to do things you have never done before!
