Water Your Worth

Did you know that God commands you to meditate?

That is correct – meditation is instructed to be a means for connection. Today and yesterday Psalm 1 was brought to my attention and today Holy Spirit was getting my attention to the word and instruction of meditating as I chose to sit with the word while baby napped. Yesterday I got the opportunity to share in Godly conversation and there was a common theme that also ties into this post. There is the truth and there is the counterfeit. Most people are either led away early or have not gotten the opportunity to know the Word properly to see the very real misrepresentations all around us. Even just the other day I was at a Natural Grocers store, which I had not been to in years, and my heart sunk and hurt seeing that anointing oil, burning sage bundles and other occult things… it all has become so mainstream that the lines are being blurred more and more on what is Right and not at all.

If you have taken any time in my blog site you know that I have been sharing some insights, revelations and warnings that I have learned both in my past and now. Yes, I used to teach meditation and did burn sage but nothing, none of that is what actually brought clearing, healing and peace – it actually brought about a false reality and a greater threat to self. The spirit realm is real and it doesn’t care about your sage, if anything the sage burning just blurs your own sensitivity and awareness making it easier for the spirits and energies to be present. Anointing oil is not something to buy and is disrespectful to the Lord as well – so anyone who buys such are not only sinning but allowing the producers of such to continue in a sinful way as well. Now, I will say that most people under these influences do not realize the harm they are doing to themselves and others as they were led in such a way on purpose but not on their own – meaning there is a foothold that the enemy and impure spirits were able to take a step on and do to lack of Wisdom it was brought into a life that isn’t life at all. The enemy knows the Word, knows God and knows you… but he is not a creator, he can only copy and manipulate what he has been taught and what is already created, therefor the world is full of these counterfeits. Ultimately, the greatest tactic of the enemy is do anything and everything he can in order to pull you away from God, the Word and His Salvation (through Yeshua aka Jesus, which means God’s Salvation). The more he can get your attention on anything else and especially on the self the more he gains company of torment in hades…

As mentioned in previous posts as well as here, there many things in this world that thrive on self. Now, with all that set in place I will continue with how meditation is another example of this. Through trends of well being associated with yoga and other forms, meditation has gotten a lot of attention and I will agree that it is a great tool… BUT(!) it is only a great tool when it is used in the way God has invited us into. It is only in the ways of meditating as commanded that actually bring peace, transformation, renewal AND deeper real connection. While other meditations ask you to focus on nothing or on other mantras – that you have no real idea if you are calling on an entity or other spirit, you are taking yourself into a void of self which is not what we were made for. Now let’s look at the beginning of Psalm 1, “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law (commands) of the Lord, and who meditates on His law (commands on how to live well) day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers.” (verses 1-3) If you really look at it, everything I already mentioned is in those lines – stay away from the people and things that mock God, do not entertain it but focus on the Lord with deep respect and meditate on His ways for that is how He will bless you and make things go well for you. [I encourage you to read the remainder of Psalm 1 as well for a complete picture of this]

We were made in His image and likeness and we were made to be His children acknowledging all His ways and as the Creator. So when he calls us to meditate He is calling us to step out of this world and to come to Him, into His Word and to choose time with Him. He truly loves you so much and wants to not only bless you, provide for you and show you the best He has for you but most important… He wants you to want Him and to choose to love Him more than anything else, to seek Him before deciding that a crystal will help you or that you will somehow be able to determine your day based on things that He made (!) instead of the One that actually made you, gives you breath and allows your heart to beat… there is truly no better place to be than in His presence and to meditate, pray and acknowledge Him in all His ways – nothing, I mean nothing can ever truly copy that.

I will add on that I am all about natural ways of things but I am completely aware that it is God who allows these things to have importance and any kind of assistance and nothing is ever to be put above the Most High or to be replaced by self. There is nothing and no one that is more worthy for any aspect of who you are and what you do than the One that loves you more than words can describe.

Would you like to try meditation the way God invites you into? Let me know and I can suggest some scriptures. I will say as well that one small step in this direction is to not try to fill the gap of time but to take the time to pause, pray, read the Word and invite Him into the day – I promise you that it gives more life than anything else that fills space and time can.
