Today’s Guest Writer has dug deep and decided to share with us what it means to be filled by Spiritually

The words within made me stop and think because there are so many things we take for granted when it comes to getting closer and deeper to God

As it resonated with me I pray it will do the same for you:

Everyday the world around us attempts to give us all we need for life but because of information overload it is becoming increasingly more and more difficult for those moments to be clearly seen.

The opportunity for humanity to be consumed by the life and spirit of God can only come when humanity is still, when humanity finds itself in that pensive place called meditation. Many have demonized the act of meditation not because of personal experience but instead by what they have been taught by others.

Meditation of the Word of God is what yields understanding of the Word of God or anything for that matter. Meditation is simply sitting down with your question in silence while internally asking. It is then that the teacher will come and begin giving you understanding. I therefore now submit to you (Joshua 1:8 (ESV)) *This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it*. *For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.* Meditation is the key to being filled with the Word and Spirit of God. Another submission is (Psalms 1:1-3 (ESV) ) 1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 *but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night*. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. Jesus said out of the mouth of two or three witnesses is a matter established so here we have submitted two witnesses from the Word of God concerning the power of meditating the Word of God. Many have imposed their own beliefs on the Word of God and perceive this to be a revelation. The Word of God is spiritual and can only Be understood when one is given understanding by the spirit of God. So to get filled and stay filled with the Word and Spirit of God one only needs to meditate on the Word of God with the intention of being taught truth by the Spirit of Truth and not by the imposition of one’s own beliefs.

Allow these words to resonate through you, meditate on it and God will further give you the discernment you seek to further understand
