The Faith Banquet - Light For Dominion. Part 2

Light for Dominion 


Engaging the Word is the required switch to bring on the light.


Meditate in the Word.



Joshua 1:8 NIV
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.


Joshua 1:8 NLT
Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.


Joshua 1:8 MSG
And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed.

The next step required to engaging the word of God is meditation. Meditation is pondering, thinking and ruminating and deliberating and reflecting on the word of God. It is turning over in your mind the Word until it mixes with faith in your heart.


Meditation in the Word releases the life of God into your spirit and with life comes the light. Meditation helps you to know what to do.


Jn 5:39 — Jn 5:40 NKJV
You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.


The word of God carries the life of God. Because The Word is God. Meditating and thinking in the Word is meditating and thinking in God. This is setting your mind on God, setting your affection on things above.


The character of your life is determined by the quality of your mind. Spiritual mindedness produces peace and life. Meditating and thinking in the word create for your a prosperous life and good success.


Psa 119:97,99 KJV
97.O how love I thy law!
it is my meditation all the day.
99.I have more understanding than all my teachers:
for thy testimonies are my meditation.


Psa 119:97,99 NLT
97.Oh, how I love your instructions!
I think about them all day long.
99.Yes, I have more insight than my teachers,
for I am always thinking of your laws.


There is a relationship between your heart and your meditation. Meditation is thinking on something. How much time you put into meditating in the Word of God shows how much you love the God's Word. Word meditation produces a rejoicing in the heart. Meditation in the Word connects you to God's love, it creates a divine presence within you and thus make the Word so real to your inner man and your mind.


Meditation opens you up to divine insights. John 8:2-11.


Psa 1:1 — 3
1​ Blessed is the man
that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Philippians 4:8 NKJV
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.


Philippians 4:8 NLT
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.


Philippians 4:8 MSG
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.


Direct the course and progress of your life in the upward and forward way by consistently meditating and thinking in line with the Word of God. Guard your heart and mind with the shield of faith by holding to the word of truth which is able to save your soul.


Proverbs 4:23 NLT
Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.
Proverbs 4:23 MSG
Keep vigilant watch over your heart;
that's where life starts.

Proverbs 4:23 AMP
Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.
