Speaker 1: Lord gave them rest. Round about second Chronicles fifteen fifteen. Lord,

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: the world devoured me before I knew you. It chewed

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: me up and left me ravaged and full of despair.

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: I surrendered to you and committed my life to you.

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: I sought you with my whole heart and felt the

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: tender touch of your love. You delivered me from the

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: hand of my adversary who wanted to destroy me, and

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,080

28
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: we will be meditating on Romans chapter twelve, verse two

29
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: from the King James's version. And be not conformed to

30
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of

31
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: your mind, that ye may prove what is that good

32
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: and acceptable and perfect will of God. Now take time

33
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: to adore God for his majesty. Jesus, I praise you,

34
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: for you desire all people to be saved and come

35
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: to the knowledge of the truth. I worship you God,

36
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: for you are the light of the world. Whoever follows

37
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: you will not walk in darkness, but will have the

38
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: light of life. I praise you, Yahweh, for you give

39
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: your glory to no other, nor your praise to carved idols.

40
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: Ideas shape reality, the nature and pattern of your thoughts

41
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: will decide who or what you become, good or bad,

42
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: right or wrong. Whatever your mind dwells on will determine

43
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: your outcome. If you habitually reflect on godly ideas, you

44
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: will live a holy life in the same manner. If

45
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: you give sin free reign over your mind, your actions

46
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: will be controlled by it. Not only is sinful speculation unproductive,

47
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: it is dangerous. Through contemplation, even Christians can grow accustomed

48
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: to sin and become influenced by it. That is why

49
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: you must strive continuously toward transformation. This is achieved by

50
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: changing your thought process through reading scripture. The wisdom of

51
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: the Bible is power. If you let it, the word

52
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: of God will mold the actuality of your existence. Take

53
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: this time to confess your sinful thoughts to the Lord.

54
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: Take a moment to dwell on the power of God's

55
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Holy word. Think on how he spoke all of creation

56
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: into existence. Think of how God's words brought forth life

57
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: and creativity. Now thank Him for giving you access to

58
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: this same power through scripture. Thank the Lord that all

59
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching,

60
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. Thank

61
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: God for providing you immeasurable wisdom through the Bible. Give

62
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: thanks that Biblical wisdom actively applied becomes knowledge. Knowledge applied

63
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: becomes power, power to radically and consistently renew you. God

64
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: is present and he is listening to you. Jesus was

65
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: aware of the power found in scripture. He withstood the

66
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: devil and temptation through the discernment found in biblical truth.

67
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: As Jesus overcame, you will too. You are not alone.

68
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: Ask the Holy Spirit to help you find strength and

69
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: solace in God's word. Ask him to transform and renew

70
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: your mind as you read and absorb the Holy Text. Remember,

71
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: do not be shaped by this world. Instead, be changed

72
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: within by a new way of thinking. Then you will

73
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: be able to decide what God wants for you, and

74
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: you will be able to know what is good and

75
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: pleasing to God and what is perfect. God's word is power.

76
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: It will renew your mind and transform your life. Be

77
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: encouraged by this truth. Thank you for completing today's meditative
