God, Where’s My Stuff? Do you keep thinking (wishing) you had more money? More time? More stuff? Well I can understand that thinking. I did also. For me, I take all of my requests to the one whom can grant them, God. I am bold enough to ask for more money, more time, better health, to accomplish those things that matter and make a difference. And of course, my never ending asking for more stuff, that I am confident that I need to make my life better. In late 2011, I spent my time in conversations with God about these things ‘more stuff’. The things that GOD had prom- ised me. GOD’s response was consistently the same “you have everything that you need.” I respectfully disagreed with God and stated my case, even giving facts of how this was not true. God continued to respond “you have everything that you need.” After this consistent answer, I took the time to think. Honestly, (I never win my arguments with God). I pondered GOD’s words to my heart; ‘If God says I have everything I need, I must see from God’s perspective.’ Then I began to reassess “you have everything that you need.” As I believed in my heart, no longer was I lacking money to indulge the little fantasies of my life; I could meet my financial obligations as they were presented to me in the form of bills; I started to save money; I began a routine of eating better, and regained my good health; my old pseudo friends dropped away and I found new people who also enjoyed the abundance of life. Ah…..that is what GOD desires for me to know and to experience that ‘I have everything that I need.’ I use this mantra daily to create a life of joy, abundance and peace. I have learned the art of recycling (seeing something for a new and different purpose), I have embraced the art of wanting less, and above all, I have learned to “pray in all occasions.” I share this tiny part of my life, because you too “have everything that you need.” Simply enhance your relationship with God to see what he sees for your life’s journey.

Can Christian Meditation Transform the Church?
As I sat in church this past week listening to the pastor talk about clarity and contemplation, I wondered if the congregation really grasped the significances of what he was sharing. He spoke of prayer and spending time with God, but did it register or was it just another Christian ideal that sounded good but had no real practicality. Knowing what I have learned about contemplation, meditation, and prayer, it takes discipline to carve out time everyday to spend time with God in stillness and reverent solitude. As I continued to listen, I wondered if mere words were enough to demonstrate the magnitude of such a practice. Was a sermon about contemplation and meditation enough or must further steps be taken? Do pastors not only need to talk about reverent silence, contemplation, and Christian meditation, but practice it as a body as well? And if so, how?
The service I attended consisted of praise and worship, some scripture reading, teaching, and ended with gospel music playing so loudly that you’d have a hard
time hearing your neighbor talk to you. Where was the contemplation in that I thought? If we are to talk about meditation (or words similar to it), isn’t it just as important that we teach it and practice as a body of believers?
Christian meditation would allow God’s word to wash away every care and dissolve every weight that we carried in with us- the act of hiding God’s word in our heart. As we mentally repeated the scripture passage, following the principles of meditation, any time we discovered our minds wandering off in thought, we would gently returned our attention back to the verses, thus creating a greater space to hear God and fellowship with Him from within. For those who attend church for the entertainment factor or an emotional experience, this might not go over so well.
And as the congregation saw the real affects of true contemplation and meditation acted out in service each week, they could then take the same practice to their homes. Once they got a taste of a true spiritual connection with God, not based on doing, but on “being” and “dwelling” in his presence, I believe it is something that they couldn’t live without. Many believers would discover their own link to God, the source of all their power and strength. This is the basis for when Jesus said that “when the Spirit comes, you will not need a man to teach you for the Holy Spirit will teach you all things.” The problem for most believers is that we don’t know how to access that Spirit living inside us because it is continually crowded out by distractions, noise, thoughts, and deceptions. We’re often like Samuel who kept hearing the voice of God calling him in the middle of the night and continuing to say, “Is that you Lord?” But unlike Samuel who had the Prophet to guide him and tell him it was the Lord calling, go and listen, we don’t have any one doing the same for us. So we just dismiss the voice and go about living on the same earthy plane and miss out on the intimate fellowship we can have with God.
Through Christian meditation and contemplation we experience transformation from the inside out. We learn that true bless-ings come from within, in the form of peace, joy, and contentment, instead of without, which we are frequently taught, even in many churches. They say your blessing is right around the corner or over the next mountain. God says you possess them already, for God has given us everything we need for a life of holiness and godliness, but we must access them from within. It will never be in the next relationship, the spouse, the house, the new car, the job or some external desire or perfect circum-stance. These things don’t satisfy the real void in our heart. They only mask them for a short time.
Jesus said that “the kingdom of God is within you,” and that is the only place we will find lasting joy, contentment, purpose and peace. But take note that entering the kingdom of God, this sacred place, has nothing to do with more dancing, shouting, preaching, or doing. We enter it through stillness and silence, by “being still and knowing that (He) is God.” We enter it by quieting our minds and shutting out or eliminating all the distractions that interfere with us touching the hem of Jesus’ gar-ment- the fears, illusions, and doubts. Seeking God with all your heart, soul, and strength begins with prayer, contemplation, and meditation, but not the kind of prayers that petition God for more.

The indirect power of influence, who/what are you influenced by?
Have you allowed someone or something to have indirect power over you, your mind or soul? Yes, your soul…You have the ability to open your spirit up to undue influence whether you know it or not.How do the stories of the lives of others affect you personally? How do events that take place in our world affect you? Are you positive the people around you are influencing your life to be the best you can be? Take a moment or two to ponder these questions before answering.
Here is how the dictionary defines influence. The capacity or power of persons or things to be a compelling force on or produce effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, etc., of others: He used family influence to get the contract. The action or process of producing effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, etc., of another or others: Her mother’s influence made her stay. A person or thing that exerts influence: He is an influence for the good. Astrology: The radiation of an ethereal fluid from the stars, regarded as affecting human actions and destinies. Influence; - Noun importance; weight, pressure, preponderance, prevalence, sway; predominance; ascenden-cy; dominance, reign; control, domination, pull; authority; capability (power); effect; interest., footing; purchase (support); play, leverage, vantage ground., tower of strength, host in himself; protection, patronage, auspices. -verbs have influence; be influential; carry weight, weigh, tell; have a hold upon, magnetize, bear upon, gain a footing, work upon; take root, take hold; strike root in., run through, pervade; prevail, dominate, predominate; outweigh, overweigh; override, overbear; gain head; rage; be rife; spread like wildfire; have the upper hand, get the upper hand, gain the upper hand, have full play, get full play, gain full play., be recognized, be listened to; make one’s voice heard, gain a hearing; play a part, play a leading part, play a leading part in; take the lead, pull the strings; turn the scale, throw one’s weight into the scale; set the fashion, lead the dance. Influence allows something or someone to be the tower of strength in you. Close your eyes for a moment and visualize the first thing that comes to mind as you think about the most influential thing in your life. Now, think about the decisions you make or have made regarding yourself or the lives of those that listen to and respect you. What is the driving force behind what you are doing in your life and the lives of others? Could it be self grati-fication selfishness or the power of control? Is it something you want someone else to do because you didn’t do or have the opportunity to do it? Did you miss your opportunity to do it? Take time to consider the influence you have over others? Consider the lives you affect daily by your words and actions. Consider your position on world events and how your opinion is perceived by others. Consider your position as it relates to death and life. Who/what influenced your understanding and acceptance of death? If what you say or do doesn’t bring out the best capabilities in other for themselves, then consider the motive behind the action. It may be better to not say or do anything…If you haven’t, allow the Holy Spirit of God to influence your thoughts and actions by creating an atmosphere of relationship with God, keeping your influence over others pure in heart.By: EvaLetitia Ellis, Author; The Revelation of Women, A Personal RevelationEditor-in-Chief, BBSL
