The power of meditating in the Word of God

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

 

As we keep a scripture before us day and night, we find eventually we have a power in us which enables us to follow that scripture. 

 

In the Bible is it described as follows:

 

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

 

God leads the New Testament church today by HIS Spirit, the Holy Spirit, who lives in the believer.

 

When God speaks to us to reveal The Word to us, the Holy Spirit is also given to those of us who believe that Word.  We are sealed by God with the Holy Spirit.  (Eph. 1)

 

One of the things done by the Holy Spirit is to remind us of the Word God has given us.  That shows us what we are to think upon and to do at this point in our lives.

 

Thus we are given various scriptures to lead us and guide us and comfort us and help us.  God does this by the Holy Spirit bringing these scriptures to our mind.

 

We then think on these scriptures and apply them to our lives.  Often we need to keep that scripture before us day and night, morning and evening, until it really becomes a part of us. 

 

I am currently working on the following scripture:

 

Romans 12:18   If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

 

I look at this scripture each morning and think on the instruction given me by this scripture.

 

At night, when I go to bed, I look again at this scripture to check myself and see if I have done what this scripture tells me to do as I have lived that day.

 

In a few days, as I do this scripture, it will become a part of my daily life and it will overcome my flesh which wants to quarrel with other people.

 

I believe we are recreated in the image of Christ (The Word) each time we do a scripture.

 

In this podcast, I will speak with you about ways to set up scriptures on your Kindle tablet in your Photos (or Ipad), so you can keep scripture before you easily and think upon those scriptures given you by the Holy Spirit of God.

 

I Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

 

 

John 14:26  Jesus says:  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

 

 

John 16:13  Jesus says: Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

 

 

John 6:63   Jesus says:  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.  

 

 

1 Corinthians 2:12  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

 

 

Matthew 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
