Many of us have been reading Scripture or listening to sermons on Scripture for years and we are frustrated that we do not see more change. So, how do you maximize the transforming impact of Scripture? Through meditation; the fundamental Christian practice. In this session you are going to learn an effective method for meditation and practice it on a passage. The regular practice of activational meditation should unleash the power of God’s words and dramatically impact your life in time. In summary, you will learn to absorb the passage, observe your feelings, commit to the truth, commit to follow and spend time being receptive.

In this session we are going to do an exercise that will answer the question: How can I center myself in God in a few minutes? The short answer is by connecting to your threefold living power supply from God: your new self, the Holy Spirit and Christ. We explained these three sources in our previous sessions. Now we will combine them and go through an exercise to embed them into your heart. These three supplies are the root energy sources for following Jesus!

Isn’t this what your heart desires?

Galatians 5:16 promises, “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh” (ESV). We are going to answer the question: How can I walk in the Spirit? And you are going to learn a practice that helps you to grow in walking in the Spirit. This will make it easier to receive the living water that Jesus wants to supply to us. Scripture teaches, “If by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live” (NIV).

Do you live from your new self? The purpose of this session is to help you understand your new self so you will habitually live from it. You will do an exercise to help you live from your new self. The more you understand and commit to this new creation in you and the story behind it, the more your mind and heart will be able to conform to the image of Christ, so you will act like him. This brings peace and fulfillment.
The most important points to remember is that you have a new Christlike self, it desires God, and you can choose to live from your new self each day!

What are your motives for Christformation and all Christian living? Why are you making all this effort? The purpose of this episode is to help you embrace spiritually healthy motives for Christformation and reject unhealthy ones. With proper motives, following Jesus will make much more sense and you will be more fruitful. If you do not pursue Christ with the proper motives, you will not be able to abide in Christ and your whole Christian life will be torpedoed.
