A Christian Meditation on Being a Child of God in John 1:9-13
19:57 | 04-14-2022
This kind of Christian meditation brings the transcendent experience of God into your mind and into your body so that you can literally walk with God throughout your day. And you can keep your body and thoughts from being hijacked by unconscious anxieties and insecurities and stress and tension that causes you to react in fear and self protection rather than to act in the confidence and assurance of God‘s presence in and around you and his love for you and care about every detail in your life. Description: In previous episodes we’ve been meditating on the very first line in what is called the Lord‘s prayer…Our Father in Heaven… In Jesus, this is God telling you how to pray. The first words out of your mouth. The first thought in your mind. Jesus wants you to constantly have an inner confidence that GOD — the I AM — is your Father (the ideal father) and that you are his secure and beloved child. John 1:9-10 (NIV) The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. This is all imagery. Jesus gives light and life to everyone. But not everyone recognizes him. John 1:12-13 (NIV) Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. Those who believe in his name. His ultimate authority. HE IS the Good Shepherd, the Way and the Truth and the Life, the Light of the world, the Resurrection and the Life. Our belief in his name is based ultimately on his resurrection. The witness of the apostles. And in your inner spirit, God’s Spirit tells you this is true. You are born of God. That is imaginative language. God created you as a being of imagination. Your imagination empowers your strongest desires and fears. And your imagination directly affects your body. Meditate on this imagery as you feel this truth — you are born of God — you are a child of heaven — you are born of his light — throughout your entire body. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. …Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. Say quietly to yourself… “I recognize Jesus as the one who created the world and gives true light to the world.“ “I receive him. I believe in his name.“ “I am born of God. I am a child of light. I am a child of heaven. I am a child of God.“ Focus on affirming these truths to yourself and feel these truths into your body. Remember… Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Remember… Ephesians 5:8 Now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. Remember… 1 Corinthians 6:11 (NIV) …You were washed, you were sanctified [same Greek word as “hallowed” in Lord’s Prayer], you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

A Christian Meditation on Being a Child of Light in Ephesians 5:8
20:48 | 04-12-2022
God created you as a being of imagination. Your imagination empowers your strongest desires and fears. And your imagination directly affects your body. For example try this: Imagine holding a lemon in your hand. Imagine cutting it in half, and squeezing the tart, yellow juice into a glass and raising it to your mouth. Smell the lemony citrus scent. Take a big mouthful of lemon juice. Feel the tangy juice and pulp on your tongue. Question: Is your mouth watering as though the experience were real? In response to mental images, your brain is activated, triggering the real, physiological response of saliva—even if there’s no lemon in sight. The Bible gives you powerful imagery to activate with your imagination so that your brain and body can experience spiritually transcend reality. A good example of this is… Ephesians 5:8 (NIV) For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. But now you are light in the Lord. This is imagination. It’s power of transformation in your life comes from using your imagination to renew your mind and see yourself this way. Including your whole body. Everything about you. You’re not imagining something that isn’t real, but you’re imagining something that IS that you usually imagine isn’t. Too often our imagination creates a false world inside our minds. You’re reversing that by using your imagination to experience reality instead of living in unreality. We usually don’t think of our lives and bodies according to the reality that every molecule and cell of our body is energized and held together by God. This kind of Christian meditation brings the transcendent experience of God into your mind and into your body so that you can literally walk with God throughout your day. And you can keep your body and thoughts from being hijacked by unconscious anxieties and insecurities and stress and tension that causes you to react in fear and self protection rather than to act in the confidence and assurance of God‘s presence in and around you and his love for you and care about every detail in your life.

A Christian Meditation on Our Father In Heaven in The Lord’s Prayer
20:28 | 04-07-2022
Matthew 6:6, 9 (NIV) (6) But when you [in the singular] pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And then in verse nine Jesus gives what we call the Lord‘s prayer. Let’s just read the first part of it. (9) “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name” That first line of the Lord‘s prayer, “our father in heaven,” immediately defines us perhaps more than anything else we could pray. It says who God is to us. He is our father. The God who created this universe wants us to call him Father. Over and over this is the picture of God that Jesus teaches his disciples. And of course it’s an image that requires our imagination. Many of us have a negative image when we hear the word father. But Jesus has the ideal in mind. So imagine the ideal image of a father. You come from him. He is protecting. Loving. Providing. Comforting. Always committed. Emotionally invested. This is how Jesus wants us to see the God who created this universe in his relationship with us. Use your imagination to see God this way toward you right now. And to feel this truth in your body. Using your imagination, while you’re still focused on your deep and relaxed breathing, feel this image of God in your body. When we meditate on the God who created this universe also being our Father — we are using our imagination to see reality and to place our entire selves — including our whole body — in trusting, surrendered submission before our life-giving, light giving Creator. “Hallowed be your name” – Holy is your name. Holy be your name in me. Another word for the biblical idea of “holy” is “ultimate.” One who is gloriously transcendent. And with that implies completely pure and without any imperfection, any evil, any darkness. Sometimes this line takes away the comfort of the first line of this prayer. But the first words in this prayer — “our father in heaven” — also remind us who we are. We are citizens of heaven. We belong to the family of heaven. Heaven coming back to earth when Jesus returns. This is who we are. And your father is holy, so you are holy too… 1 Corinthians 6:11 (NIV) …You were washed, you were sanctified [same Greek word as “hallowed” in Lord’s Prayer], you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

A Christian Meditation on The Spirit Giving Life to Your Mortal Body in Romans 8:11
24:14 | 04-05-2022
Christian meditation can help refocus your mind on God's presence using biblical imagery to get the stress, anxiety, and anger out of your heart and out of your body. Description: With your imagination on God‘s Spirit in your body, you’re feeling a kind of transcendent sense of quiet. You’re feeling a sense of quiet wonder at the God who created the universe present inside your body. Giving life to your body. Your body is part of your soul. God cares about your body. And because Christ is in you, you (including your body) are one with God right now in this present moment. Romans 8:11 (NIV) …If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Remember… 1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV) Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you…? God’s very Spirit lives in you — giving life to your mortal body. Now, (“is living in you” “who lives in you”) and eternally in your future bodily resurrection (“raised Jesus/Christ from the dead”). Use your imagination to feel his life-giving Spirit IN your body right now. Flowing through your veins all throughout your body. Flowing up and down your spine. Giving life to every cell. Every molecule, etc. You’re not imagining something that’s not real. You're imagining something that IS real that you usually imagine isn’t. Too often our false imagination creates a false reality inside our heads. You’re reversing that by using your biblically guided imagination to experience reality instead of unreality. You’re renewing your mind and recalibrating your mind/body connection with the reality of God’s presence around you and within you (Ps 139). We usually don’t think of our lives and bodies according to the reality that every molecule and cell of our body is energized and held together by God. But that’s what the Bible repeatedly tells us.

A Christian Meditation with Ephesians 3:16-19
27:43 | 03-31-2022
What we want to do in Christian meditation is let go of anxiety not only as a relaxation technique but as something where we are truly calm and at rest because we sense and feel the presence and love and care of God in our lives. Anxiety over shadows our awareness of God because it hijacks all our emotional attention. This means that anxiety can be an early detection system that we’re depending on something other than God for our well-being. As we discussed in our last episode, often when we come to the Bible and read it without envisioning its truth with our imagination, we miss a lot of its transcendent wonders that only imagination can experience. There are certain biblical passages that are so full of spiritual realities we won’t be able to understand unless we experience them with our imagination. What Paul called the eyes of your heart. Ephesians 3:16-19 (NIV) 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord‘s people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge —that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. This is almost ALL imagery. Imagination. A reality we must use the eyes of our heart to experience. Say quietly to yourself… “I am strengthened today because the Holy Spirit is in my inner being.“ “My body and my life is rooted and established in Christ’s love for me today.“ Who can you share this podcast with?

A Christian Meditation with Ephesians 1:17-18
29:38 | 03-29-2022
When we come to the Bible and read it without envisioning its truth with our imagination, we miss a lot of its transcendent wonders that only imagination can experience. Biblical authors thought the ancient Jewish way; through images and story. We tend to read and learn in a way that focuses on propositional truths rather than images and story. We’re looking to understand certain truths and we focus on trying to understand that and we have various questions about that rather than using our imagination to envision the images and the story that the Jewish authors are seeing in their mind when they write. There are certain biblical passages that are so full of spiritual realities we don’t understand that sometimes the best way to understand them is to experience them with our imagination. What Paul called the eyes of your heart. Ephesians 1:17-18 (NIV) I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people… God has already given us his Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). But in another sense there are certain blessings that the Spirit gives after we already have the Spirit. These are things we pray for for ourselves and for others. As Paul prays here. In this Christian meditation, we’re using our biblically guided imagination to re-narrate our hopes and desires, as well as our bodies, back in line with the promise of the gospel.

A Christian Meditation with John 1:1-5
20:56 | 03-24-2022
This kind of meditation helps you re-integrate your mind and body with the reality of God as your creator and sustainer who is always with you and always focused on you with his infinite love. It relieves tension and anxiety and stress and insecurity and defensiveness stored up in your body. And it replaces all that with God‘s peace and joy and assurance and security. In today’s meditation we’re going to remind ourselves that when we meditate on the presence of God — when we meditate on the presence of Jesus in us and with us by his Spirit — we are using our imagination to see reality and to place our entire selves — including our whole body — in surrendered submission before our life-giving, light-giving Creator. We used this verse as part of our meditation in our last episode. Let’s remind ourselves of it again here. Psalms 33:6 (NIV) By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. Imagine the power and intelligence and wisdom! John 1:1-5 (NIV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:14 (NIV) The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. Imagine this reality. The Jesus that walked this earth and died on the cross and rose from the dead is the same Jesus who spoke the universe into existence and gives life to all life! And he came to die for you. The God that created this universe, somehow in the paradox of how he works, infinitely loves you enough to become human to die for you and rise from the dead for you so that he can bring eternal life to your body and soul and bring you into his restored creation with a restored body and mind and soul forever! Imagine this! Feel this truth in your body right now. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. This includes YOU. Imagine this reality. Jesus giving you life. Imagine this right now.

A Christian Meditation with Psalm 33:6
30:57 | 03-22-2022
In today’s meditation we’re going to remind ourselves that when we meditate on the presence of God — who is in us and with us by his Spirit — we are using our imagination to see and place our entire selves — including our whole body — in surrendered submission before our life-giving, light-giving Creator. Neuroplasticity. Neurons that fire together wire together. Neuroplasticity is an amazing thing. Our brains/bodies have the ability to become astonishingly good at extraordinary things with enough practice. Repeated behaviors, words, experiences, and thoughts actually create new synapses (pathways) between neurons in the brain — literally changing the internal wiring of our brains. This happens much quicker in the brain when we were younger, but it continues to happen even as we grow older. This is how humans develop the ability for language. When you’ve grown up speaking a language, you often don’t even have to think about finding the right words and using the right grammar and syntax. It’s just automatic. It’s been wired into your brain and actually changed your brain so that you even think in that language without thinking about it. Because of neural plasticity, you can skillfully repeat actions you need to do often. This is what musicians experience when they practice scales. The more hours they practice the more second nature it becomes to play just the right musical notes blazingly fast. It’s almost as if the fingers do the music automatically without them having to really think much about it. Neurons that fire together wire together. Just as the brain/body can become skillful at repeated behaviors like language or guitar or piano playing or even a golf swing with a lot of practice (we call this muscle memory but it’s really just neural plasticity physically changing the brain/body connection), … this same phenomenon can also become really good at automatic Brain body connections that produce internal reactions of stress and anxiety and insecurity when practiced enough. When you have tension and anxiety for repeated periods of time, even if you’re unaware of it, your brain and body inadvertently “practice” it and create large neural pathways so that your brain/body is skillful at internally being stressed, anxious, insecure. Your brain is wired — literally changed — so that it becomes easier to get stressed and anxious. But you may not cognitively be aware of it. This is one reason why we wanna do this kind of meditation on a daily basis. It puts us cognitively in touch with our body. Neurons that fire together wire together. The longer you practice unchecked anxiety, the more you create and use and deepen the “anxiety pathway” in your brain. Stress, tension, insecurity, a disposition of defensiveness, same thing. The more you use this pathway, the bigger and stronger it gets. The stronger this pathway gets, the better your brain gets at producing more anxiety, more stress, more tension, more insecurity, more defensiveness, even in situations that wouldn’t have produced it before! Neurons that fire together wire together. God’s created reality of neural plasticity can be very helpful to us in developing positive change in our life, and it can be very unhelpful to us if we allow ourselves to think and practice destructive words, thoughts and actions. This is one reason why we’re doing this kind of body awareness WITH biblically guided meditation. Neurons that fire together wire together. We’re firing neurons together to rewire our brain so that whenever we give attention to our body — feel our body — learn to feel signs of tension and stress and anxiety and insecurity in our body — when we fire those neurons, at the same time other neurons wired to that practice of feeling our body from within will also fire and remind us to be aware of God’s presence and love. The more you practice this kind of meditation, each time you bring your mind‘s awareness to feel...
A Christian Meditation with Psalm 31:14-16
31:27 | 03-17-2022
It seems like there's always something to worry about in our lives. Even when things are going pretty well, we all know that is a precarious window that could shatter at any moment. It seems like one of the guaranteed rhythms of life is that there are good times and then there are going to be difficult times we have to go through. Exciting times. Painful times. Times when it seems everything is sunny. And then super disappointing times. And then long stretches of time when we're not sure which way things are going to go. That's life in this exiled world waiting for Heaven to come back to earth when Jesus returns. But the entire message of the Bible tells us that we can have an anchor of certainty in the rhythms of life's uncertainties. And until we find that anchor we're going to be tossed up and down with every next big wave. We see this in the life of David in the OT, which is one big reason why his psalms (meditation poems/songs) have been so important in the lives of God’s people (including Jesus) for 3,000 years. In one particularly painful and stressful time in his life, he and his 600 soldiers were away from their families and, upon returning, discovered that their enemies had burned their homes and kidnapped their families. 1 Samuel 30:4 (NIV) So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep. And his men had almost turned against him for it. 1 Samuel 30:6 (NIV) David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God. Phrases like that in the Bible should stick out to us as important doors for us to walk through that give us the key to how to live in this world. "But David found strength in the LORD his God.” This is what Christian meditation is/does. It is a way for us to find strength in the LORD our God. Continue to focus on your breathing/relaxing rhythm while I read from one of David’s psalms. There is a psalm David wrote (don’t know if it was this occasion)… Psalms 31:9-10 (NIV) …I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief. …My strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak. David brings into his meditation the effect of stress and anxiety on his body. Let’s do that in our meditation today. Give attention right now to the present condition of your body; your mood, thoughts, emotions, fears, and feelings as they are right now in the present. This is a way to inhabit your body fully. To feel the body from within. Body awareness keeps you present with whatever message your body is getting from your brain. The first step in noticing anxiety is to pay attention to how it manifests in your body. Anxiety generally starts in either a distracted mind (ruminating on a past conflict or hurt; or an anger fantasy about the future), a racing heart, or a clenched body (tension). So let’s put our attention on different parts of our body to be aware of any signs of anxiety or tension and then begin the process of relaxing clenched muscles and distracted thoughts by a meditation where we can find strength in the LORD our God. Your soul is inseparable to your body. Everything is intertwined. …Your brain and body are inextricably interconnected. So in David’s moment of great stress and anxiety, “David was greatly distressed…But David found strength in the LORD his God.” Your English translation of the Hebrew says David found strength in the LORD, but the LORD is a kind of translation of God’s name in the Hebrew Bible — Yahweh. It’s translated in your Bible as LORD in all capital letters so you know the author or speaker is referring to God by his Hebrew name — Yahweh. This is actually the most often used reference for God (in the Old Testament) in the Hebrew Bible — far more than the word God is...
A Christian Meditation with Psalm 139
28:59 | 03-15-2022
We’re not always aware of our anxiety. Anxiety is not necessarily a sense of fear or worry. Sometimes it’s just a low-grade self-protection alarm going off that we don’t necessarily notice. But it always manifests itself in our body even if we’re not aware of it. Steve Cuss (author of Managing Leadership Anxiety) He says that the first step in noticing anxiety is to pay attention to how it manifests in your body. Anxiety generally starts in either a racing mind, a spinning heart, or a tightening body (clenched, tension). Let’s put our attention on different parts of our body to be aware of any tension and relax clenched muscles. This kind of meditation helps you become aware of signs of anxiety in your body and replace it by recalibrating your mind/body with the reality of God’s intimate presence and intense love for you. Again, Steve Cuss says that anxiety is a signal to us that we have lost awareness of God’s presence and love for us. He says you cannot have an anxious thought AND awareness of God’s presence and love at the same time. So let’s become more aware of the tension in our body right now, and relax and release it by becoming more aware of God‘s presence and love for us. This is meditation. Psalm 139 was written by David (and written by God’s Spirit for us to meditate on). Praying to God, David says… Psalms 139:2-14 (NIV) You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. …6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? Now imaginary extremes to make the point… 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 …if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Then David meditates on how much God intimately loves him — even his very body that he created… 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. God created YOU. And loves every cell in your body. Embrace your whole body as beloved by God — an important part of you. Who you are. You are your body. This is why biblical salvation includes the resurrection of your body when Jesus returns. A body restored to eternal beauty and glory and righteousness and eternal life. This is why consciously reconnecting your soul/mind with your body — mentally inhabiting your body from within — feeling your whole body — the life energy of your entire body — is an important way to relax tension and anxiety in your body by experiencing God’s presence and love through biblically guided imagination. John Mark Comer (The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry) …In the chronic problem of human beings’ felt experience of distance from God, God isn’t usually the culprit. God is omnipresent—there is no place God is not. And no time he isn’t present either. Our awareness of God is the problem… …So many people live without a sense of God’s presence through the day. …But could it be that … we’re the ones who are absent, not God? We sit around sucked into our phones or TV or to-do lists, oblivious to the God who is around us, with us, in us, even more desirous than we are for relationship. Let’s continue to meditate on David’s meditation in Ps 139… Psalms 139:16-18 (NIV) Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand — when I awake, I am still with you. Who can you share this podcast with?...
