Meditation example:

Meditation:  Joan Boney

Joshua 1:9 ...  the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.  

HS is in me ... 
... comforter
... Spirit of truth
... teacher
... guide
... reminds me of Jesus' words
... shows me things to come

Where I go HE goes for HE is inside of me ...
... in car
... home
... store
... in me as I sleep

God watches over me day and night.  HE does not sleep.

Angels about me.

Jesus intercedes for me.

Recently I had a dream where I was searching for my mother's room in a hotel.  It was a hard dream.  When I awoke and realized my mother is dead, and everyone from that time is dead and I am here on this earth and it seems I am alone ... but I am not alone.  God is with me and in me.  I never feel alone and this is the reason.  And HE is my life.  And I am complete in HIM.

Col. 2 ... And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 5For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 6As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.   9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 

Col. 3 ... If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.  3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory

Meditation: Pam Padgett

Exodus 23:23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:and I will cut them off. 24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

Today we live in midst of people who do not fear God, and who serve all kinds of other "gods", such as ...
- trying to protect and provide for themselves by wisdom of man ... worshiping wisdom of man rather than turning to God and depending on HIM
- immorality (fornication, adultery, homosexuality)
- love of money
- worshiping success in things of this world
- trusting in politicians for safety and well-being

These are not the ways I am to go.

These gods and idols are overthrown and broken down around me when I speak and cling to truth from God and do as led by the Holy Spirit ... not going along with them ...

- when spoke against his son marrying a divorced woman, Chuck wanted no more to do with me

- since I asked Ann to stop sending emails of what she thought were "cute" sayings, but which were against what God has said, she does not acknowledge me when she sees me

- spoke truth to John about not dealing honestly with my last review, shining a bright light on the matter which he could not deny

God is greater than all.  I've been called by God to serve HIM, to go in HIS way not in the ways of this world.
