LEARNING THE ART OF MEDITATION THE SECRET PLACE is a special personal place where you and Jesus meet regularly. Psalms 91:1-4 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler". Songs of Solomon 2:14 "O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely". Don't you desire to look into the face of God, beholding the glorious beauty of His Holiness, soaking in His presence, hearing His voice? THE ANCIENT "OPEN" SECRET FORMULA FOR HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD! MEDITATION is defined as an ancient discipline used for hearing from God. MEDITATION is neither a quick fix nor a fast way for getting answers from God. It involves slowing down from the pace of society, the noise, the rush and bustle. After a dedication of consistent discipline in ritual (orthopraxy -function) of regular devotion in fellowshipping with God, MEDITATION yields a spiritual harvest and fruitful life beyond no other alternative. MEDITATION from Psalms 1 is a slow but steady process as the roots of the tree pulling up, bringing the moisture and nutrients up into itself. MEDITATION is a secret formula for apprehending God. It is an open secret told to us throughout Scripture. MEDITATION is the matrix of creativity and imagination. It opens a gateway to the realm of Gods Spirit where direct impartations can be downloaded. MEDITATION according to Joshua 1:8 is the formula for his success, as he is told by God to Observe to Do. MEDITATION requires input from God's Word through shutting in with God and stilling both the noise without and the noise within. When we start this journey in seeking God and listening for His voice it is at the first like monkeys in the banana tree. In order to hear God in His still small voice we have to definite it from other competing thoughts, and render the others voices silent. In order to do this it takes quite time (times of solitude & silence). MEDITATION involves a revolving of God's Word in the mind until there comes a focal point in which all barriers that have stood against understanding are removed and become lifted so that we can fully discover the particular revelation being imparted and the one who imparted it. The knowing of revelation causes our progress and affects very walk in life to our success. Eastern Cults of Religion have stolen MEDITATION and perverted it into something different from Bible MEDITATION. We as Christians we don't meditate to find God, we MEDITATE because we already have Him. We as Christians we don't MEDITATE to get something, we already have something. We Christians MEDITATE because we got something, namely Jesus and His Spirit in us. We are simply taking time to wait on our God because we LOVE HIM! MEDITATION is the difference between a book review and a direct interview with the author of the book. MEDITATION is downloading the data base of heaven for our next breakthrough. Since all the treasures of knowledge and wisdom are in Christ Jesus we grasp His mind and then walk in His Spirit Observing To Do, first coming into His heavenly treasure house, and finding the secrets which laid behind His Word. The keys of uncovering the hidden things of God are then applicable to carryout in our walk releasing all His covenant benefits and fulfillments into our lives. THE FRUIT OR HARVEST OF MEDITATION is the wheat of His Word brought from the grain into the Living Bread (spiritual food)that we eat internally. Our continual devotion allows for time spent with God; spiritual seasons to mature the Word of God in our heart where it grows and His revelation is added, becoming fruitful in our lives bring His harvest. PROGRESSIVE REVELATION comes from God as we MEDITATE upon His Word. The progressive revelation that I am talking about comes through out times of MEDITATION. Our thinking starts to become deeply rooted and grounded with His rich spiritual insights and heavenly counsel. His Spirit comes into our mind. The relevant counsel of God coming from His Spirit begins with hearing His voice as He builds upon His theme at that particular junction and continues this activity as we given ourselves to His fellowship. MEDITATION has the by-product of not only hearing Gods voice, but is a continuous present and active speaking to us from God moment by moment. Gods realities (His revelatories) are continuously made known in our present circumstances in the NOW! Thus, through this fellowship (feeding upon His presences) we have continuous access to His counsel and guidance. MEDITATION opens us something more, what is behind the face value or what is beyond the surface of His Word; what is behind it? the deeper revelations and meanings of God!
