Unlocking the Power of Meditation: 3 Levels of Transforming Your Mind and Spirit

Meditation is an important practice for Christians as it helps to internalize and personalize the Word of God. According to Joshua 1:8, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." Meditation is essential for prosperity and success.

The Hebrew word for meditation, "hagar," has three distinct meanings: "imagine," "mutter," and "roar." These meanings give insight into the three levels of meditation that are essential for spiritual growth.

The first level of meditation is visualization. Psalm 1:2 states "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night." This involves pondering or thinking about God's Word in pictures. By keeping these pictures in mind, the Word will be driven into your spirit and take root.

The second level of meditation is muttering. Psalm 119:15 says "I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways." This involves speaking God's Word under your breath, over and over again. By doing this, the Word becomes personal to you and goes beyond the written page and into your spirit.

The third level of meditation is roaring. Isaiah 31:4 says "For thus the Lord has spoken to me, “Like a lion or a young lion growling over his prey (so will the Lord of hosts come down to fight for Mount Zion and for his hill)." This involves shouting God's Word out loud. This type of meditation is used to drown out any other thoughts in your consciousness, including those that the devil may try to bring. This can help to cause the Word of God in your spirit to rise. Some people may think that something is wrong with you when you begin shouting God's Word, but continue with this practice. The Bible says that by doing so, you will make your way prosperous and have good success.

In conclusion, meditation is a vital activity for every child of God and its power cannot be overemphasized. By practicing the three levels of meditation, one can internalize and personalize the Word of God, resulting in spiritual growth and prosperity.
