THE SECRET OF MEDITATING THE WORD OF GOD ALOUD

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate(mutter) therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

The Word said: “This book”, which means the Word of God. It shall not depart out of your mouth. We know that the mouth has dual purposes. It is for eating and speaking. It is not for thinking. We have a brain processor for thinking.

We do not really eat a book. We may speak a book. Speak the Word! The reason is clear. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Logos).

Faith is essential for a new life, and it is important for growth and victory.

Without faith is impossible to please God, but also it was in reality the sin of broken faith in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve mistrusted the Word of God and listened to the Serpent. Sin was the broken faith in God’s Word. The Holy Spirit will convince the world of the sin of unbelief in Him (John 16:9).

The faith is the reconnection of faith in the supernatural resurrection of Jesus. (Romans 10:9-10).

Numerous sins are offspring of the original sin – a faith failure.

This is reason why we should not convict people of sin and being sin-orientated. It is the Holy Spirit’s job. He makes people to be new creation. We only can make others religious and religion is harmful.

The same reason we are not judging others of their sin and their mistakes. Judging is result of “seeing eyes and hearing ears” (Mazari). It is walking in the flesh and not in the spirit.

We do not ask people (of world) to repent of sin, since they do not have any idea what sin is. It is important to introduce Jesus to the world people, in whom deliverance is available. Sometimes we use the “sinner’s prayer” incorrectly. We must present the message right first.

I must also emphasize and to say I am glad for even an incorrect prayer. God never cast anyone away. God is so merciful. He is so good. An example is a baby, who does not know how to speak yet a parent can still love and receive that baby. When we are born again, we became baby of God.

As mentioned above the sins are defined by the laws and are an offspring of original sin of unbelief. It covers the Ten Commandments of Old Covenant, two main commandments of New Covenant and work of the flesh (Gal 5). Paul gives and summarized in the main statement we know: Everything that is not of faith is sin.

Confession of sin is for believers who sin. They know what sin is.

When a man is born again confessing sins brings sin-orientation. The spirit of man at new birth is wide open to receive good or bad including good or bad doctrine. Later is when the trouble will come. To have victory over sin one must get of rid of sin-orientation. Sin does not exist since it was already laid on Jesus. How to deal with sin is to start to pray. Start to believe. It should be a petition prayer and should be followed by the prayer of faith as we already have it. Then we have to work in the spirit and led by the spirit.

We know that what we are thinking stays all the time in front of the “eyes” of our mind. So it is with the sin. We have to be orientated not to self-righteousness but to God’s righteousness.

Sin-orientation is not profitable. Many preach sin all the time. Judgment follows. Then we turn people off. We have to offer Jesus and love.

The word meditate means “to mutter.” The purpose is that one will have to hear himself. Our mouth is the one speaker and we have two microphones, ears (in case one fails). Our ears channel words to our heart (spirit), where it is a manufacturing plant for faith. This is why it is important is to align our speech with Word of God, the Bible.

Our success depends on rightly understanding the Bible and speaking it to our spirit. We have to find the creative words build it into our spirits and apply it to our lifestyle.

Receive Lord as your Savior and believe in your heart Jesus was resurrected from the dead. He took your troubles on Himself including death, disease and poverty; you don’t have to bear it. Your sin of unbelief (and all sins) has been washed away. Just receive.
