Thoughts for meditation and prayer

When we neglect meditation and prayer we become the spiritual equivalent of schizophrenic man who refuses to accept his condition and take his meds. We become the spiritual equivalent of ragged, delusional, and homeless. The disease of sin affects our minds to such and extent that we do not even realize our true condition.

"You say, 'I am rich. I have everything I want. I don't need a thing.!'"

"And you don't realize that you are miserable and poor and blind and naked."

Rev. 3:17 NLT

Thoughts for meditation and prayer

You must take every opportunity to empower the light within you. You must feed your spirit by meditating on truth while you breath deeply with the breath of prayer. Every moment spent in this way strengthens the light and weakens the beast.

Thoughts for meditation and prayer

When you do what the sin nature wants you to do you feed and energize the beast. You can only find peace as you starve it. Cut if off from every source of nourishment. Reduce it to a pitiful, weak thing. But never take your eyes off of it. Never let it revive, for if you will, it will dominate your life once again.

It will not compromise; it will not rest until it poisons and infects every part of your being. It can not be reformed or redeemed. It will be with you until the day you die. You must remain vigilant and armed for battle at all times. You must be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. You can only find peace as you starve the beast. Cut if off from every source of nourishment. Reduce it to a pitiful, weak thing. But never take your eyes off of it. Never let it revive, for if you will, it will dominate your life once again.

Thoughts for meditation and prayer

This thing hates God. It does not love, or even care about your wife and children. It is completely unmoved by the post death screams of those being dragged down into hell. It loves filth. It sees excrement and coos with delight, gathering it up in it’s arms as one would some beautiful treasure.

Thoughts for meditation and prayer

It is absolutely essential that we allow God to heal our minds so that we can finally see the sin nature for what it is. We are still spiritual infants until we have come to the place where we have looked inside ourselves and seen something absolutely horrifying.

Thoughts for meditation and prayer

A civil war is raging within me. Part of me wants to submit to and flow in harmony with the light. Part of me wants to believe the lie of independence that always results in submission to and harmony with the darkness.
