Take time to meditate on each of them. They are points taken from a talk given. They have not been elaborated on but contain
enough tips and Bible references to help you ponder and mediate on them all. Afterall, meditation is part of growing up
1. Keep your heart pure
Proverbs 4:23
- bitterness and unforgiveness (a poisoned heart)
- gathered dust
from disappoints and delay (a hardened heart) Like walking on ice.
- worship replaced with duty (nonchalant heart)
Satan
draws out and kindles the trash he finds raked up in the heart.
2. Beware of the presumptuous sin
Psalm 19:13, David - 1 King 15:5
There is no protection from the presumptuous
attitude.
Presumption breeds pride. Pride can make you a stranger
to the throne of grace. There is nothing more deadly.
3.
Keep a worshipping heart
Don't take the gift and forget the giver
- The ten lepers Like 17: 11-19
4.
Make room to meditate on His Word
Peter - Matthew 16: 13-20
You are the Christ, the Son of the living God
Revelation
comes by meditation
Build firmly on the rock
5. Live by faith
James 1: 5 - 8
- wisdom comes to
those who trust Him
Family, work and church
6. Satan has an interest
Ephesians 6:12
Satan's greatest
prize is your faith.
Nevertheless he will settle for your testimony.
7. Know your place in Christ
1
Peter 2: 4-10, 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4
He loves you. He has put His love in you.
Never forsake the two-level fellowship.
We
are being built up in mind and heart.
