In Meditation... Jesus Spirit Blossoms

It comes in a whisper.

When we are very quiet we can hear. The creative powers of God and the universe emerge through a whisper. One of the hardest skills is developing this skill. Jesus went off to be alone and in those times He came back down from the mountain performing great acts the next day.

The Spirit is creative, directive and insightful...

IT shows us what to do, brings peace as we consider it and we see great results after we go ahead and do it.

Entrepreneurs are known to come up with ingenious ideas and then they find equally ingenious ways to get it done.
Most rely on the meditative experience that brings the ideas, actions, direction to resources, what to do and say... all these come to mind, when in this meditative state.

How do we get there?
I have seen the Scriptures in the Bible as one source that stimulates this. It takes time to ponder on them, allow the thoughts and ideas to naturally flow from them. It is putting all others things out of the mind and just letting it happen.

In the Bible, it is noted that Elijah heard God speak to him in a whisper.
It was not in the wind, the earthquake, the fire, but in the whisper. This experience has a mind of its own. It will bring to you, what it wants to bring to you, when it wants to do it. The great thing is the relaxing process which is refreshing in itself. Our intellect wants to put out great effort, but to use our Spiritual Intelligence it takes quiet, peaceful pondering.

It also builds faith.
When we read a promise, outstanding event in the Bible or Inspired book, as we reflect on this really happening through the very Spirit of God, it begins to weave into our mental channels. We convince ourselves it is true and possible. We walk away then with this belief engraved in our minds, heart and soul. It can be one phrase as "any thing is possible to the person that believes;" or "I can do all things through Jesus who lives in Me and He has created everything I now see so I can do it as well."

During times of extended quiet and pondering there is great power soaking into the brain, the soul... the Spirit begins communicating this to its unlimited connection of sources. We become more and more like the Spirit of the universe within us... as Jesus was and is wanting to be in us. As we become more and more one as Jesus is, we naturally take on all of His Spirit's characteristics, life, being of who He is, now in us. This is power and love constantly growing and increasing in us.

Meditation is a very power part of our existence. It is a time each must take to find answers and the power expression to accomplish great things or overcome insurmountable obstacles, as they may believe are in their lives.

This is extremely powerful, although for you to really know this you must do some experimentation with it. I would love to hear what some have done and what has happened. How they did it and what took place.. a personal play by play.

It must be cultivated... worked on over time... like any skill. And you can make it a personal skill and then see the benefits of its skill's mastery bring incredible things into your existence. As a child we naturally do this, but as we add years on our lives, responsibilities of the lives we live in, it becomes harder. Because the time to imagine, to play in our minds, dream, pretend(which fuel it) become less and less part of our natural life patterns.

Dr. A had a pattern He followed which he credits for the very Spirit of Jesus to walk with him.

This process practiced by Dr. A on a daily basis built exceptional faith in his own life; he saw exceptional results start to emerge. This is how I met him. He prayed, pondered, believed someone who would live beyond his years would come to him who he could teach to carry this on to the next and following generations. I realized how the Spirit created all this, caused it to happen, manufactured the whole process. His Spirit power literally
drew me to him.

Building faith; building results (Dr. A's personal practice)

1. Each morning memorize from the Bible a phrase that builds up faith in your Spirit.

It may be something like, "not all things are possible with man, but All things are possible with God." And we know the very Spirit of God is also the very Spirit of Jesus. Jesus lives in us so all things are possible; what we see created by God is within our realm. We think on this and we start sensing, within our soul, that all circumstances around are negotiable.

We can go into the very Spirit of Jesus and, in our soul's vision, transform the circumstances to be favorable to what is on our hearts.
Great power, confidence, faith builds and the sense of invincible power slowly begins to emerge. What is bad around us, we don't need to accept or take any more. What is a dream of greatness in the world we can believe it will, can, and we can be part of it happening. As we meditate on this, remember this key phrase of faith, it begins to become more and more of us.

2. Pray aloud, say aloud, affirm aloud, the specific thing you expect or specifically request from your heart.

Hearing ourselves say it also convinces our conscious and it is buried within our subconscious mind. It also creates a Spiritual manifestation. The Scriptures say that God spoke and the world happened. Our very speaking puts Spiritual power into motion beyond our understanding of what is going on.

3. Expect guidance for the fulfillment of the requests for the day.

In everything you do, everywhere you go, keep on the lookout for unexpected answers coming your way. You don't know what encounter may be... The Spirit's way to lead you to the answer. Listen to the whisper coming from the deep part of your mind as it guides you. The Spirit speaks in this Whisper. It is the very Power of Spirit directing you.

4. Plan, write the faith act of the day: include time, place, person, etc. which applies.

Why do we sign contracts? What we put in writing, especially in our own handwriting, or signed by our hand, is making a contract with ourselves, our mind and the Spirit of Jesus. We are agreeing with His ability to help us carry it out. Many times you will be impressed to do a certain thing. Don't ignore this, carry it out, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Or how bold it may seem.

The Spirit of Jesus moves ahead of you and the way is being paved for it to happen for you. Move on these impressions, take action, write in a notebook what you feel to do, when you will do it and keep a record of what happened when you did. It may not always turn our as expected, but it has evidence within the action of what to do next. Sometimes it is a process. We learn from each step what to do next.

5. Share with another your faith Word. Say with conviction and feeling that you believe it is true and will have an impact. Team up for taking joint and united action (two or three is considerably more powerful than just one). Pray together if possible and join hands as you prayer.

When we tell others with conviction what we do, it not only inspires them, but it creates a deeper well of belief in you. There is power when you get together with friends and talk each other up, talk each other's ideas up, and become each other's cheerleaders. Groups say this type of interaction keeps everyone motivated and moving ahead to reach lofty goals. In Spirit, it keeps adding fuel to the fire of the Spirit to work intensely for you.

6. Act. Do as guided. Act. Do your part... Spirit will more than do His Part.

Taking actions as you feel like you should, even if seemingly insignificant to you, keeps the Spirit in motion working for you. The Faith concept is based on proceeding onward and demonstrating belief through action. Take action of any kind, but as you feel led to by the whisper of Spirit in you, keep taking action. Through your action, you will see other doors open, and maybe not directly through your action. So don't be discouraged if a direct response is not seen, it is based on faith and it will bring some result to you from somewhere. You don't need to know exactly what, but that it will.

7. Let Love be the Power putting faith into achievement.

Above all, maintain the Spirit of Love as Jesus demonstrated on earth. The Bible says that the prophet Elisha was moved to actions by his compassion for the people in the circumstances they encountered. Love is what drives the Spirit of Jesus in you to work exponentially beyond you. Love puts a super-energizer into what fuels your life activity.

8. Hold Jesus in worship, praise and thanksgiving.

Always express gratitude He is with you in all your actions. A grateful heart is expressed through you in your attitude. You show a spirit of humility to others and others will want to help you. When you are grateful in your heart and express it continually to Jesus in you, others will sense you have a grateful attitude and will want to do more on your behalf and stay by your side no matter what.

9. Testify to a friend about your progress.

Testify is an interesting word. It is sharing with a heart and voice of victory that things are working out as you desire. It is a positive expression of your faith, which builds your faith and the other person in having faith with you.

DO IT!

This whole process is about doing it. Try it for 30 days and see what happens. This was a life long process for Dr. A, a very outstanding man of God.

It’s about faith. You don’t need to know how. Just reflect, ponder, use faith building phrases. Believe like a child would. Jesus will personally guide you in your thoughts, ideas and heart of inspiration.

Listen to the whispers of Jesus talking to you in Spirit.

Follow through on the simple things.

DO what you feel guided to do.

Again… try it… do it… and see what begins to happen.

This is very powerful in mobilizing Spirit activity to a supernatural level in your life.
