Text: Psalm 46:10
Meditation is not prayer.
Prayer is not meditation.
Prayer is a popular lifestyle and habit in the body of Christ, and prayer is very important because it is the major way we communicate with God, and the Bible which is God's Word and our manual for living instructs us and commands us to pray. Luke 18:1
Many people mistake meditation for prayer.
In the same way believing is not faith, and hope is not belief. Faith meditation is quiet distinct from prayer.
The Bible encourages meditation. Joshua 1:8
Just like prayer, meditation is also powerful and brings great results into the life of the individual who practices it.
The word meditation has been wrongly understood in the body of Christ today, most people associate meditating with some eastern, oriental mystical practice, but meditation is actually a lost 'art' given to the body of Christ which we haven't made good use of.
Meditation is one of the lost keys of the church and a necessary part of the faith equation.
Meditation is a form of internal communication that employs the use of the heart, your imagination and your ability to visualize without uttering words through your mouth.
Meditation is allowing your heart and mind to speak through pictures of the mind and your imagination.
Meditation helps your faith. Meditation strengthens your mental faculties and abilities.
Regular meditation is part of what God expects of us during our 'waiting' season.
God is a God who deals with the heart.
Our heart can communicate and God listens for the communication, the Words of our heart which man cannot hear. That's why we can deceive our fellow man but we can't deceive God. Men go by what we say verbally without knowing the thoughts and intents of our heart. Our mouth can say one thing while our heart is saying another.
But God sees the thoughts and intentions of our heart plainly.
Meditation is giving your heart the chance to speak without the use of your mouth, while prayer is expressing the 'thoughts' of your heart through your mouth to God. Romans 10:9
Many people pray and they should be encouraged to do so but very few people meditate which is equally powerful and benefits the person who uses it the right way. Psalms 119:15, Psalms 1:2
In all we do, the heart is very important. Proverbs 4:23
The major connection meditation and prayer have is the heart, none of them is effective without the heart. Proverbs 4:23, Proverbs 3:5, Psalm 51:10, Psalm 24:4
Your intention is very powerful! Proverbs 24:8, Matthew 22:20-22, Ephesians 1:9, Hebrews 4:12, Genesis 6:5
Your intention is a thought of your heart.
Your intention is expressed to God through meditation. Ephesians 1:9, Hebrews 4:12, Genesis 6:5, Proverbs 24:8
Quietness is a requirement to meditate effectively.
Quietness can also be useful in the place of prayer. Matthew 6:6, Psalms 46:10, Isaiah 30:15
The Word of God should be our major focus and meditation. Philipians 4:8, Proverbs 4:20-22, Psalms 119:97
Meditation brings profit when we meditate on the Word of God. 1 Timothy 4:15
It was while Isaac was meditating in the fields that the camels of his father were coming with his God appointed wife. Genesis 24:63
Many people think prayer is merely for those who have a problem. Some people assume those who go to church are people who are looking for the solution to one challenge or the other.
The Bible tells us to pray if we are troubled.
So prayer is a good way to confront our challenges or difficulties, but that is not merely the reason we pray.
Prayer for the christian should be a lifestyle, prayer for the son/daughter of God should be a way of life, a love for God should be one of the reasons why we pray.
Anyone you love you will want to talk to.
Anyone you love you will regularly desire to be in their presence, it is the same thing in our relationship with God.
When you love God, you will desire to be in His presence, when you love God you will desire to talk to Him, not because you need something from Him but because you love Him and His Word instructs we call out to Him in prayer.
