How to Meditate: Change Your Life by Muttering to Yourself!
Meditation is a very effective way to tap into the limitless power of God’s word. For many years I did not really understand know how to meditate nor did I see the benefits of it and besides it seemed like such a boring thing to do. It was after reading a book on Being Led by the Spirit of God
According to Joshua 1:8, meditation will help you to obey the Word of God, and cause you to prosper and have good success. Some of the meanings for the Hebrew word for meditate in this passage of scripture are to mutter, murmur, imagine, talk, or utter. You can meditate the Word by muttering it, speaking it or imagining it.
To get started, choose a portion of scripture that you want to become more familiar with and start saying it to yourself over and over again. Do this for 10-15 minutes at first, and eventually increase the time.
As you meditate, you may start getting images in your mind of how your life will change when this verse starts happening in your life. It’s okay, go ahead and imagine what it will be like, how you will feel, how this will impact your family and so forth.
Stay sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and keep a journal with you, because as you meditate and go about your day, God may speak to you about things you will need to do before the scriptures can fully manifest in your life.
For example, I was meditating on Proverbs 2:6 that I would have wisdom, knowledge and understanding on how to start an internet business. A few weeks later, I received an e-mail offering a internet marketing course at a ridiculously low price. I bought the course and learned many of the basics of online marketing.
If you establish the habit of meditating in the Word of God, you will start to tap into the powerful resources that are available to every born again child of God. Get started today and expect good success in every area of your life.
