[Music] well let's open our Bibles to Psalms chapter 5 Psalms chapter 5 and I want to begin to share on Christian meditation Christian meditation and this is one of the most powerful and profound disciplines in my personal walk with the Lord and I have just seen the fruit of this teaching in my own life and we could talk about a lot of Christian disciplines that will contribute to your spiritual maturity reading the Bible that's a discipline that's a best practice prayer fasting on and on we could go with the Christian disciplines that contribute to your
Spiritual Development well meditation has been one of the best practices in my personal walk with the Lord and understanding what it means to meditate and how that works in our every Day Life as we walk with the Lord so let's look at this this passage here in Psalms 5:1 give ear to my words oh Lord consider my meditation give heed to the voice of my cry my king and my God for to you I will pray I will pray so we see here in the scriptures meditation and prayer used interchange ibly when you're meditating in
the things of the Lord that is one of the highest forms of prayer that you can walk in and develop in your personal life and personal walk with the Lord there are many different kinds of prayers in the Bible there's the prayer of faith there's the prayer of agreement prayer of petition prayers of intercession well meditation is a form of Prayer in meditating your communing with the Lord you're communicating with the Lord you're setting your heart on the Lord and opening your heart for that two-way conversation to take place that changes your life many times
we talk about the power of renewing your mind and I can't think of anything more important to be teaching God's people than the renewing of your mind because Romans 12:2 says that we are not to now be conformed to or look like like or shaped like the world but we're supposed to be transformed through the renewing of our minds not the removing of your mind Christian alert not the removing of your mind but the renewing of your mind and man there's a lot of things need to be said about that I've done a lot of
teaching on that but many times we don't follow up with how do you renew your mind how do you really renew the mind because that word word renewal in Romans chap 12 there talks about the Reconstruction I mean you have to renovate your mind and tear down all of the strongholds and philosophies of this world and so in the renewing of of the mind there's the tearing of some things down on how you used to think and how the world thinks then you have to replace what you tore down with what God thinks and God's
ways how do you do that is through Christian meditation Jesus talked about feeding on the word of God how many of you have at least heard the concept of feeding on the word of God excellent excellent Jesus said in Matthew chap 4 verse4 in his in his temptation and battle with the devil he said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God so God's word is compared to bread well how many of you know bread doesn't do you any good if it sits on your
coffee table that's right you got to eat it you got to feed on it Peter followed up with this concept in 1 Peter 2:2 and he said that we as newborn babes need to desire the sincere milk of the word of God that we may grow thereby how do you drink the Bible Christian meditation is how you feed on the things of God Christian meditation is how you come and taste and and see that the Lord is is good Christian meditation is how you go from information to transformation let me just appeal to the students
for just a moment and encourage you you're going to be inundated with much and valuable and precious information but it has to go from information to transformation in your life and how do you do that you do it through Christian meditation amen you do it through meditating on the things of the Lord how do you go from hearing the word to doing the word Christian meditation this is why you see so many people that hear the word of God and they hear it and faith comes but they never they never get to the point of
acting on the word of God and we have to be a doer of the word not just a hearer in order to bear fruit well that transition happens through Christian meditation and I discovered this early in Bible school over 40 years ago how that I would watch people hear the same things I'm hearing and it not change them it not make a difference and why am I seeing the transformation I saw and I'm not boasting in this I'm boasting yes I am boasting I'm boasting in the Lord and in the cross and in the power
of God's word but it will not profit you brothers and sisters if you just hear it and you don't do it if you're you're just a hearer of the word and not a doer James says you deceive yourselves the devil gets to take a holiday yeah he doesn't have to deceive you anymore if you're just hearing and not doing but let's be honest it takes courage it takes grit it takes tenacity to obey the word of God in the culture we're living in why won't more people do the word act on the word they don't
have the courage of their convictions they know what the Bible says they've heard it but they've not meditated on it where they've digested it into their Inner Man and it just becomes a part of who you are now and you have the courage I'm going to show you later I won't get to it today but I'll show you later that you won't have the courage of your convictions and act on the word of God if you don't meditate in it day and night amen and that's what's wrong in most Christian circles is people know they've
heard what the Bible says but they've not fed on it they've not renewed truly their minds to it they think their minds are renewed just because they heard it in Mark chapter 4 Jesus taught a profound parable of the so or so in the seed and then he talked about the different effects that the seed had depending on the heart depending on the heart go to Matthew chapter 6 Matthew chapter chapter 6 and this is the chapter where Jesus is dealing with our motives he's dealing with the why in what we do not just what
we do and he deals with giving and he deals with giving in secret he deals with giving with a pure motive he's not preaching against public giving because we have other examples in the Bible where people gave publicly Jesus in one of his meetings people were giving publicly and he even observed them giving and he took note that a a widow had given more than everybody else had given so there's other examples in the Bible where there's public giving but in this chapter he's dealing with the motive of our hearts and that we don't need
to give to be seen of men right that's not your motive even though men may see you give that's not your your motive and and so it's important that we understand those those disciplines again of Christianity and he says look if you're given just to be seen of men and that pat on the back enjoy that pat on the back because that's all you're going to get and if you're praying to be heard of men and to be seen of men and for the accolades of men what a great prayer enjoy that moment because that's
all you're going to get out of your prayer y'all haven't read this recently I'm sorry it's entertaining to me that Jesus is simply saying if you're given to get some outward recognition enjoy it because that's all you're going to get out of your giv if you're praying just to be heard of men God's not hearing it so enjoy whatever men heard because that's all you're going to get then he says in Matthew 6 here verse 6 but when you pray When you pray go into your room and when you've shut your door pray to your
father who is in in the secret place you need to remember that notice the father is in the secret place pray to your father get into your secret place get into and close the door in a secret place because that's where your father is pray to your father who is in the secret place and your father who sees in secret will reward openly so how does this practically work in our busy lives I mean I praise God that within my rhythms of Grace in my personal life and within my disciplines and my best practices I
do have set aside time where I can shut down I can lock down and and get my mind and stayed upon the Lord get still before the Lord because of how busy our world is and so I praise God for that but Saints you better learn how to find a secret place and what the secret place is because of your busy world you're going to find it hard at times to get off all by yourself in a cave humming unto Jesus see the secret place is in your heart and meditation is the secret place of
your heart and all of us can find that place throughout our day throughout the night where like John and Charles Wesley's mother Susanna who had 10 surviving children she had 10 surviving children I'm not positive of all her history but it appears in C places it it's it's known that she was the youngest of 25 kids how of you know this was a this was a woman of women the Bible talks about having your quiver full and happy is the man that has his quiver full most people just have one and quiver can can you
imagine raising 10 kids my Aunt Ruth had 10 kids and so I know that that atmosphere and that busyness and it was said of Susanna Wesley that she would take her apron and in her chair just put it over her head and all the kids knew you do not mess with Mama Bear covered you don't talk to her you don't bother her she she she found a secret place she discovered in the midst of busyness and chaos and and and 10 kids clamoring how to find her secret place she just put the apron over her
head and listen she started meditating on the goodness of God meditating on God's love for her meditating on how those children are going to rise and call her blessed meditating on help me Jesus not to kill them so one day they can rise and call me blessed meditating on the Lord my secret place for years was in my car it was in my car that in my car I was able and I'm going to deal with this I was able to find that secret place in my heart cuz do God's in the secret place well
where's the secret place that God's in in my life in my heart so how do I commune with my heart heart how do I commune with God in my heart it's through the discipline of meditation and understanding what that is how that works and you can make any place a secret place because of Christian meditation the deerwoods is the secret place for me and I know that offends people I'm trying not to use real life examples people are funny they want you to be real authentic then you tell them something real and they get mad
but I I love deer I I love them I love animals especially right next to my mashed potatoes I love deer and wild hog and turkey and on and on I could go and when I'm in the woods it becomes a secret place for me I can't tell you I won't tell you how many messages that are the most profound messages I have that came out of a deer stand but I'm just sitting in the woods it's quiet it's peaceful and I'm able to go to my secret place just thinking about God meditating on his
love for me meditating on his goodness toward me meditating on how much favor I have whosoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favor of the Lord you just sit there and you think about she's a good thing I got me a good thing thank you Jesus for your favor in my life she's a good thing come on now I had a lady get mad at me one time and she said I called her a thing I said no ma'am I called you a good thing there's a difference and so everyone has to
learn to find that secret place is my point where you can set your mind on things above not on things below for you are dead and your life is now hid in Christ and when Christ who is our life shall appear we shall appear with him in glory most Christians live their whole life and never work the Christian discipline of setting your mind on God how to set it on God how to reset it on God because I know I'm not the only one in here I've I've set it on God and 15 minutes later
it's unset and I got to reset it yeah on on God and this is where Christianity becomes real this is where it it becomes a part of a lifestyle and to this day I still underestimate the number of people who attend church who really do not want to have a lifestyle that brings glory to God I I don't know why you're here I'm glad you're here and I hope you keep coming but your heart needs to eventually be I want to please God I want to fulfill God's plan for my life I I want to
be all he's called me to be and I want to do all he's called me to do you won't be able to do that if you don't understand Christian meditation true Christian meditation go to Psalms because uh Psalms 19 uses terminology here that amplifies I'm endeavoring to communicate about how meditation is prayer meditation involves my thoughts the thoughts of my heart and communing with God Psalms 19:14 the end of the psalm the solist says let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart everybody say meditation meditation of my heart my heart see
how that meditation involves your heart meditation is how you get into the secret place where God dwells and can I get a witness he dwells in your heart and so when you're meditating in biblical meditation you're communing with God in your thoughts in your imagination and in your verbiage in a way that you're interacting with your own heart with God and God now with your heart and this is when powerful things happen this is when you hear that still small voice this is when the light comes on and you go oh my God I really
was thinking wrong I didn't realize how foolish that was till I got into the secret place I didn't realize how anti-god anti-bible anti chist that philosophy he was till I got still and meditated on the goodness of God meditated on whatever he said in his word and that he's saying to you in his word that suddenly there's this transformation that takes place that there's the putting off of that old man and that way of thinking and the putting on of the new man and thinking in line with God and it comes from the renewing of
the spirit of your mind Ephesians 4:22 through 24 talks about put off that old man and put on the new man and in the middle he tells you how to do it through the renewing of the spirit of your mind the spirit of your mind is your attitude come on see your thoughts are important but if your thoughts get fixed your attitude gets fixed anybody know what an attitude is anybody got a teenager yeah everybody's got a teenager knows what an attitude is they'll even obey what you tell them to do but there'll be an
attitude associated with it God doesn't want just your blind obedience he wants to change your heart through Christian meditation where you have a good attitude about the things of God now and what he's doing in your life amen amen a women a everybody this is important the first time I ever shared this I got a lot of push back and I was amazed at the push back and secondly I was not only amazed at the push back at the word meditation I was amazed at how people at large knew more about the new age definitions
of meditation and concepts of meditation and had no idea of the biblically based Christian meditation that transforms their lives and Satan had hijacked and in our culture Satan has hijacked many terms from the Bible right he's a deceiver he can't create anything so he perverts everything right and he hijacks Christian language to lock good Christian people into death like you can't even you can't hardly use the word justice at church that word may never be redeemed during my lifetime it has been so perverted Ed that when you look at the biblical definition of justice it
flies right in the face of everything our culture calls Justice Equity Equity is one of the Seven Pillars of the House of Wisdom if we're going to build a house of wisdom in our lives and in our churches seven of the pillars that make up wisdom one of them is equity and when you hear people talking about Equity it's like oh my God they've lost their mind y'all aren't getting this meditation has been so hijacked by false religions and New Age psycho Babel y'all heard some new age psycho Babel surely by now it's psycho Babble
and and and yet I come along and say all right there's this discipline of Christian meditation and you can feel the I remember the first argument the first sorry composure the first argument I had a guy come up to me I was pastoring in the Methodist Church and he came up to me and he said that sounds like some Middle Eastern religion Middle Eastern religion um do you know the Bible came out of the Middle East do you know the prophets and the disciples came out of the Middle East did you know the first church
was in the Middle East did you know the seven churches that Jesus addressed in Asia modern-day turkey yeah that's the Middle East thank you I deserve a standing ovation on that one the second one was oh oh and and the and you the murmuring you could hear it in the parking lot I can't believe our pastor is preaching Christian Science mind over matter no I'm preaching your mind matters amen or Oh Me Oh I've heard this teaching before that's that transend Transcendental Meditation where we meditate and we transcend human consciousness and we become one with
ekron or the universe or God why would I be teaching meditation to become one with God when Jesus Through the cross his death burial and resurrection and your faith in him has already joined himself to you you're already one with the Lord 1 Corinthians 6:17 Colossians 1:27 Christ is in you the hope of all glory so when I talk about Christian meditation I'm not talking about transcending above above self-consciousness and one with the universe or God no I'm talking about a means to an end I'm talking about what the solist said be steal and know
God I'm talking about stealing stealing s t i l l i n g stealing not stealing stealing your heart before the Lord and in Christian meditation I'm getting to know him Christian meditation is me waiting upon the Lord being still before the Lord and is a means to an end relationship with God knowing god hearing God God finding God in the the busyness of your life and the confusion of this world so I'm not talking about transcending anything I'm talking about a Christian discipline in your heart and in your life my favorite one was people
think you're talking about coming to a place in meditation where you have no thoughts you've emptied your mind oh you've crossed your legs you got your fingers out you're humming and you have no thoughts at all that's impossible if you could get there the devil would fill up your head I'm not talking about emptying your head and no matter how many people act like they've emptied their heads it is impossible not to think there is no such thing as getting to a place you're not thinking you're always thinking your mind was created to never stop
thinking the harder you try to stop thinking about something it has twins I will not think about a pink elephant I will not think about A Pink Elephant Man the room is full of pink elephants you can't not think meditation is the displacing of old carnal thoughts that must now be replaced with God's thoughts and God's ways and God's love for your life so we've cleared the plate now I said we've cleared the plate now everybody knows what I'm talking about and everybody knows what I'm not talking about and so let's talk about meditation then
and let me just say this to you to encourage you everyone is meditating all the time that's right I'm G to say it again everyone is meditating all the time when you worry and your heart is filled with fear and anxiety guess what you're doing you're meditating on the LIE of the devil you're meditating on your natural circumstances instead of meditating on your problem that most of us do easily you have to retrain yourself to meditate on his promises in your problems but everybody's meditating all the time faith and courage comes from meditating on the
word of God comes from meditating on the truth and so everybody's meditating all the time you just have to now make a choice what are you going to meditate on what are you going to meditate on and most people by default wind up meditating on the lives of the devil day in and day at night I remember again this was in the Methodist Church and and same message same series and I talked about you have to learn to meditate day and night on the Lord instead of all your circumstances all your challenges and this man
oh bless his heart he was a thorn in my side a messenger I'm sure sent by Satan I besought the Lord the Lord three times to take him out I don't know why he came to our church it didn't matter what I taught didn't matter what I said by the time I said amen before I got the men out with the a he would always sit on the no offense to anybody over here offense offense he would sit right about right about there third row and he would hit the aisle and he would nearly come
running down and he would go brother Dwayne oh God I hated that brother Dwayne it was like fingernails on a chalkboard brother Dwayne and I can't tell how many times I wanted to go what but it just wasn't pastoral but it was in my heart and he would hit me with something I never could do anything right never say anything right and I talked about I talked about how you have to discipline your mind and keep it on the Lord in order to prosper and that guy had the audacity to look me in the face
and he said you're the preacher we pay you to be good and to meditate on God day and night I got to work for a living one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 yeah like I don't work for a living you pay me to be good and in that phrase he said they were good for nothing he said we pay you to be good we're good for nothing I got to work for a living he was only half right they do not pay me to be good that'll hit you later do not
write me he had it in his mind because I was the preacher of course I'm to meditate day and night but we got to work for a living we can't be meditating day and night and work and yet that same guy all day long meditated on death and sin and cynicism and criticism amen or om me you're meditating it's just you and I are going to have to decide what are we meditating on Amen and make the choice to meditate on those things think about those things that are good and pure and just and holy
and righteous because you're going to be thinking about something all day long and you have the challenge I don't have time in the in the message to deal with it I can deal with it one on one but you have the challenge too of like a doctor who would who would think well I can't be thinking about God all the time I've got to be focused and I've got to operate and I've got to do the having no idea that before that operation and if you're going to operate on me you better find the secret
place and thank God for your gift and thank God for anointing you and thanking God for this to come out right the way it's supposed to and binding every other force in that room and releasing angels in that see even a doctor can be meditating on God and preparing his heart going into the secret place before your life is in his or her hands and don't tell me even during the operation they can't be thinking about hey this is going to go so good in the name of Jesus I remember when I had my heart
issue and collapsed and had to have five bypasses I was in that in that operating room and I'm sorry these things come to me on the Fly that's why I mess up some of my details sometimes but I mean I looked at that that that doctor and and said now you believe in God and he says yes I believe in many gods I said that won't work there's only one God and do you believe in Jesus well yeah I believe in Jesus well that's who I'm fixing to pray in the name of and you're going
going to agree with me that you're going to do the best operation you've ever done in your life and then I made all the orderly or whatever you call all those people in mask and and and whatever they're doing I made all them join hands we surrounded the operating table and I said father I thank you for all of these people and their gifts and their calling that's without repentance Hallelujah that they're going to do the best job they've ever done in Jesus I mean just pray into God just my heart set on God and
I drug them into my secret place I drug them in there Hallelujah they're going to drug me I'm going to drug you and that hit the whole hospital as I was recovering you could hear all the all over the hospital he made us join hands he made us pray Hallelujah you can you can work is my point and have your mind still on the Lord amen am so what is meditation the word in the Hebrew it has a few different Hebrew words translation meditate translated meditation and they all come down to three things uh number
one to ponder to ponder when one is meditating he or she is pondering musing Ming I'm not positive how to say that from the South but mooing means means absorbed in thought absorbed in thought meditating is deep thinking deep thinking it's the it's the what is a common term I think to this generation is you know diving deeper a deep dive and so meditating is thinking about what you're thinking about yes absolutely in other words everybody's thinking about something right now but some of you will leave here and you will meditate you will think about
your thoughts you will you will commune with god with I'm not sure about what he said there why am I not sure where is he wrong and why do I think I'm right and if I am right I need to make sure I'm right so you're thinking about your thinking you're you're probing your thoughts and Sue makes fun of me she I don't mean this negative towards Sue but she has what she calls Dwayne's world that I go off into Dwayne's world and my Workshop is a secret place and when I get in there I
can get so into my thoughts and talking to the Lord and communing with my heart that if somebody walks up on me it startles me because I'm not there I'm in my secret place and I'm working and I'm fixing something and I got dangerous equipment going saws and drills and vices and yet and yet I'm in my secret place my meditation is the meditation of my heart I'm thinking about what's in my heart I'm talking to God about what's in my heart I'm I'm meditating on and talking to God why did I respond like I
responded to that situation is there something in here I'm meeting with God who is in the secret place listen to me this is powerful seed God's word is called what seed seed is conceived in the secret place place and born in public amen many of you are trying to conceive in public and I'm I'm casting out seed Mark chapter 4 and that seed has to be conceived in your heart and seed is conceived in the secret place see you don't you don't conceive children in public you conceive children in the secret places can I get
a [Music] witness don't be buying into all this psycho Babble Of conceiv and Seed in public anybody following me there's no kids in here I guess I could be a little less subtle but kids are conceived fruit is conceived in the secret place then it's born in the public place and meditation is the secret place Med meditation is where the seed of God's word is conceived and then you're rewarded later openly and this is why you see so little fruit outwardly in so-called Christians lives they don't even have a secret place they don't have a
relationship with the Lord they don't have that communion that intimacy with the Lord in the secret place where is that secret place it's in the meditation of my heart Welly this is good sounds good to me anyway good this will help anybody who wants help because a lot of people want just these instant fixes and man I'm I I serve a god with instant fixes and miracles and signs and wonders and you can just set in a service and have something really changed in your life but the Long Hall and long-term lasting change is going
to come through Christian meditation you're going to have to ponder the things of God number two number two definition of of meditation Bible meditation biblical meditation Christian meditation is to imagine to imagine one of the things I didn't cover in the misconstrued ideas is memorization meditation is not memorization there's nothing wrong with memorizing scriptures that's good it'll help you find things it'll help you recall but memorization is just an exercise of the mind and the power of the Christian life doesn't come from the mind it comes from the spirit through the mind and so memorization
is just a mental exercise meditation is mental and spiritual and in Christian meditation not memorization but in Christian meditation you're seeing something you're imagining something you're visualizing see there's a new age term that was hijacked from the Bible visualization if you say that most churches they'll be recall because people are more worldly than they are Godly that the word meditation means to imagine to visualize see God created your brain brothers and sisters a to think and it always does and listen to Imagine The Gift of imagination is a wonder is absolutely profound that your brain
is created to see pictures it's how it works and you're not meditating in the word till you see and imagine what it's saying is true see right now if I say dog nobody sees dog and everybody sees a different dog depending on your background your experiences with dogs but everybody saw a dog now when I say big dog do you didn't see b i g d o you saw a picture of a big dog and with my skilled speech I killed all the Demonic Chihuahuas those dogs are demon-possessed now if you got one I'm not
I'm not upset at you we'll deliver over your dog but you see in pictures dog big dog big dog with vicious teeth see how you don't see words you see pictures dog big dog vicious teeth on your leg everyone who laughed saw it so seriously everyone who left saw it I was never taught this growing up in church just told read the Bible of course I was taught because of Pentecostal Holiness uh read the red and believe for the power that's what I was taught Jesus and everything he said was in red and so they
just basically said read what Jesus said and believe for the power that just Pentecostal back then and and and and so you would read which is good it's a good Christian disp but how many people read for a half hour then ask them what they read and they can't tell you you know why they didn't see nothing they didn't see nothing Christian meditation is not reading about Jesus turning the water into wine but but it's sitting there meditating at a wedding and you're in the wedding how many of you know the Holy Ghost was at
that wedding okay I I I must not have communicated I'm talking about when Jesus turned the water into wine at the wedding at Canaan Canan is that right Canan uh how many of you have meditated in that where you you're at the wedding and remember the Holy Spirit was at that wedding the same Holy Spirit that's on the inside of you and when you yield when you commit your soul when you give your mind over to God now the holy spirit that was at that wedding can show you something as you picture water pots being
turned into wine how many if you've seen the 10 lepers seen them and the horror of that and them crying out picturing in your mind them crying out have mercy on us son of David and seen them healed and seen them leaving and being healed as they left and see the one guy come back see the Joy on his face see that he's not just healed but he's been made whole that he got a lot more than a healing he got an encounter with the true and the Living God and his life will never be
the same how many of you believe by his stripes your healed but have you meditated in it long enough that you see yourself healed you believe by a Stripes I'm Healed but the pictures in your mind that you need a renovated mind you need reconstruction deconstruction and reconstruction you still see yourself dying when when uas my grandson died and we saw him raised from the dead after 30 minutes and then every organ was destroyed still and it took 21 days I I I can remember those 21 days before we walked out of that hospital with
a totally healed boy having to discipline my mind that you close your eyes and you see a casket see this is why a lot of people won't preach this it's why a lot of people aren't sure they want to hear it it's it's so real it's so down to our everyday lives that we don't realize the pictures that are ingrained into our hearts and until you meditate with your heart and meet God in the secret place in your heart some of those pictures just aren't going to change and I had to discipline myself and I
remember of course Jacob laughing at me but man I was praying today and I see uas in a deer stand with me Hallelujah and he shoots my buck cuz the rules are the big trophy Buck is mine you get everything else but you right is shot by trophy buck and in this picture I'm mad that's when I knew it was real see people think you're just talking about mind control or Christian science or uh on and on it goes when you're when you're talking about look your brain is real and the pictures Satan has put
in your brain are real and they'll hold you captive and renewing the mind is seeing a different picture I I took I got too many testimonies but it took me so long to break poverty because I knew what the Bible said and I could quote what the Bible said but when I closed my eyes eyes I saw me poor that picture meditation is how you pull those pictures down and you put the right picture up for years I would not preach without a tie and people thought I was being religious you know because back then
all the preachers basically wore ties no a tie to me me just me a tie represented prosperity to me nobody in my family had a tie and had they had one they'd have killed themselves the inventor of a tie was a serial [Laughter] [Music] killer amen it took me a while to meditate I wish above all and listen to God I wish above all things Dwayne that you prosper Dwayne I wish above all things above everything I wish above all things not some things not most things I wish Dwayne above all things that you prosper
and that you be in health I need you to be healthy you're my temple you're a vessel you can only preach this gospel in the earth when you come and be with me to Wayne you won't have authority in heaven to preach the gospel so I want I I want your body strong I want you to be in health so you can preach the gospel are you with me yes and you can go for hours talking to God listening to God of even why to be healed some of you I love you but you don't
even know why God longs to heal you it's not just to alleviate pain it's not even just to be a witness that is part of it it's that he wants you to live long on the earth and fulfill the number of your days so he in you and through you can reach a generation Hallelujah and you won't get that till you meditate day and night and the last one means to utter to mutter to utter you have to be talking meditation is not just a mental exercise you're communing you're praying you're you're fellowshipping with God
in his word you're feing eating on his flesh and you're drinking his blood well there's a good way to end I'm I'm beat me some flesh today Hallelujah I'm be drinking me some blood today boy that'll that'll get you censored amen you do realize Jesus would have been cancelled on every social media platform he'd have been called and was called all kinds of things the bottom line is I'm pondering I'm thinking about my thoughts I'm imagining I'm visualizing God's word is true and I'm repainting I'm a painter a meditator is a painter that's repainting with
the Holy Spirit moving my brush pictures of God's word is true pictures of God's word fulfilled pictures of me laying hands on the sick seeing myself lay hands on the sick and seeing them recover these paintings in my heart and then I'm muttering I'm not humming with my legs crossed and my fingers sticking out I'm talking and communing with my heart even selft talk even selft talk and then communing with God and His word show me Holy Spirit what that looks like in my life man did anybody get anything today praise God that'll that'll follow
