The Benefits Of Guided Christian Meditation To Believers

By Dorothy Roberts


A lot of Christians do not understand the Lord needs them to reach down into themselves and experience peaceful restfulness. Many believers are of the opinion that meditation is fundamentally a religious doctrine of the Orient. Interestingly, the Bible talks about it in many sections of divine revelation, leaving no doubt that God thinks it matters. It is the first advice you find as you head to the beginning chapter from the poetic Psalms. Guided Christian Meditation should no longer be considered an idea from the Land of the Dalai Lama.

The Oriental has known the advantage of contemplation for centuries. In fact, most people cannot begin to see how mediation is not purely meant for ascetics and monks in religions of the East such as Buddhism. However, nothing could be further from the truth.

Research reveals that reflection is not a recent doctrine. If you open your Bible to the first chapter of the Bible, you will find the idea of self-reflection right there. In that book, God advises Joshua to meditate on His word day and night, and he would find victory.

It does seem that there is value in it or the maker of Heaven and Earth would not have guided his people to apply in their lives. The concept is not a preserve for the people from the East. You too can today choose to appropriate the benefits of stillness. The only thing that stops many modern Christian believers in their own limiting beliefs which are not Bible-based.

A clear reading of Holy Scriptures shows that the idea is referred using different words that bear the same meaning. You will find synonyms like Be Still, Ponder, Think, and so on. Contemplation should be understood to mean the decision of a believer to pay more focused attention to biblical teachings, the presence of Christ, and the law from the mighty one. Pondering the heavenly promises of divinity should preoccupy the consciousness of worshippers during contemplation.

God is close to worshippers who commit to contemplation. From the beginning to the end, the Bible is about man mending fences with God. The glory of heaven awaits such a contemplation in the kingdom that is to come. Matter of fact, the domain is already in hearts of believers, says the book. When men and women reflect on Christ, they become one with him, and his divinity becomes their divinity.

Many followers of Messiah go about life defeated and humiliated after countless setbacks in their lives. They succumb to negative thoughts that ardently fight to occupy the mind of any human who gives consent. This is where guided contemplation helps. If more and more people ponder the divinity of Christ, which also is in them, more and more would rise above their circumstances and achieve greatness.

If you want to have inner peace, consider mediation. Contemplation is the only path to communion with divinity. During prayer and self-reflection, the believer opens up to Christ, telling him about the fears that oppress them. God reminds the worshipper that they are a treasure to him and that he desires to deliver them from all that binds them, even Satan. It is the gateway to heaven, where the faithful eventually becomes free in the Lord.
