Joshua 1:8 tells us to meditate on God's Word so we will do it and be prosperous and successful in life. Eastern meditation has crept into the church. It is exactly the opposite of Biblical meditation. Learn to know the difference.
The Bible mentions mediation 20 times. Moses meditated on God's word, so did Joshua, and Peter. Here are some of the tremendous benefits to meditating on God's Word.
Praising and worshiping calls down the power and presence of God in our lives just as powerfully as prayer - maybe more so! God works through the joy of His presence.
Don't Trust your own understanding! God warns us in Proverbs 3:5. There are things we don't know. God does. He wants to help us make good decisions in life - important decisions.
Christians should be different from everyone around them. They should be who everyone wants to be like. If they carry God's presence, they are!! Become a carrier of the presence of God and draw people to Him!
Many Christians haven't yet learned to know when God is "talking" to them. He speaks in many ways. But scripture is clear, He is talking and if you're a Christian you can hear.
If you've been praying and your answer is delayed, don't quit! Don't assume God won't answer you or that his answer is No. Look at Daniel's experiences in Daniel 10. Things happen in the spiritual realm that delays answers to our prayers. Persevere!!
Have you ever fought with God about something you really wanted. I was teaching in China, sharing Jesus, when I became ill and had to go back to the US. I fought with God for three years. Then he yelled at me.
Do you look at yourself, others, and life trying to see if they are right or wrong: looking for faults and problems? I did that as a Christian, until Jesus showed me how he sees me and others.
The very first sin was Eve trying to fulfill her "selfish" desire by herself, instead of letting God fill that desire. Satan has used the same strategy ever since. God wants to fill your heart desires. This is the way to life. Proverbs 13:12. Desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
God invites us not just to know the truth, but to know Him. When we believe, He adopts us as sons and daughters. He invites us into a life of being loved by Him. This is life's greatest adventure!
King David, in one of the worst moments of his life, showed us how to have hope even in our darkest times. This will help you!! #christianmotivation #christian inspiration #transformedlife
The voice of condemnation we all hear from time to time isn't God. When God looks at a Christian, he sees Jesus' righteousness - Jesus' performance - Jesus' perfection!!
Hope is the anchor that steadied David after his wife and children had been kidnapped and his men turned against him. He "Strengthened himself in the Lord." A powerful life lesson for you and I.
