Through meditation the creative ability of God is developed in our hearts. The things God wants to do for us must be conceived in our spirits before they become a reality in our lives. Luke 1:29-35 gives an example of how we can give birth to the Word of God in the earth. In these …
Solomon instructed us to: “Keep them (God’s Word) in the midst of your heart” (Proverbs 4:21). The “heart” refers to the spirit, which is recreated at the new birth.

The Psalmist David gives us insight to the immense benefits of meditation in Psalm 1. Notice what he says: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of …
The results of meditating day and night are wonderful! Joshua 1:8 says, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make thy way prosperous, and …
