In this study, we will look at some ways to meditate effectively.
Imagine: This is the process of creating mental images of (something not present). Until you can see
it in you mind, your faith may not be stirred to take delivery of it. The force of imagination is so potent
that even God said "nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do". As christians,
we must consciously use the word of God to create a Scriptural picture of our desired future. Genesis
11:6;13:15, Jeremiah 1:12
Ponder: Ponder means to thing deeply about Consider (something) quietly, soberly and carefully. Pondering is a critical part of meditation.
christians we are not to spend for time thinking Just anything (especially carnal and ungodly). On the contrary we are to ponder, on the word of God.
The more time we spend on the word, the more our
understanding. pick scripture and ponder on it day and night. Start now. Joshua 1:8, Colossians 3:2,1, Psalm119:99, Philippians 4:8,Jeremiah 15:16
Mutter: To mutter means to utter sounds or words indistinctly or with a low voice so that it is difficult for
other people to hear (i.e. speak under your breathe, not audibly). Only things we have thought about and pondered on deeply can be effectively muttered. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Imagine and ponder on God's word till you start muttering it No Wonder the bible says "shall not depart out of thy moutn.
Joshua 1:8, Luke 6:45b, Matthew 12:34.
