Prayer Tool of Meditation, Mindfulness, and Breathing - Level

Prayer Tool of Meditation, Mindfulness, and Breathing - Level

A level is a tool for establishing a perfectly horizontal plane. It consists of one or more small glass tubes

containing alcohol or similar liquid and an air bubble. The tube is sealed and fixed horizontally in a wooden or metallic block or frame with a smooth lower surface. Meditation, mindfulness, and breathing are prayer tools that keep your soul leveled with your spirit.

Different from the stillness and the silence where your mind is free, meditation focuses on a specific idea. You go into meditation with a question and come out with an answer. Perhaps, you choose to meditate on positive ideas that cause you to get in touch with your spirit, such as a verse of scripture, a song, an affirmation, a mantra, a principle, the ocean waves, etc. Meditation levels your mind and brings you back to the center of your being, which is Spirit.

Popular opinion often refers to meditation as mindfulness; however, in the Kingdom, mindfulness occurs when you become aware in the moment of the thoughts that you are thinking and the feelings that you are experiencing. In your life, you can frequently focus on the past or worry about the future, and practicing mindfulness keeps you grounded in the present. Mindfulness causes you to become even-tempered and at peace with whatever is going on right here and right now.

“God breathed into human’s nostrils the breath of life, and we became living souls (Genesis 2:7).” Without thinking about it, your lungs expand and contract. Concentrating on your breathing helps you relax. Conscious breathing helps you connect with God, the breath of life that is within you. It also recalibrates the brain and rejuvenates the body. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord (Psalm 150:6).” Meditation, mindfulness, and breathing are often combined and flow into each other as one Prayer Tool, the Level.

  Who do you desire to be when you grow up? Read – I John 3:1-10 Scripture : “Beloved, now we are the offspring of God, and what  we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when  Christ appears, we will be mirror images (I John 3:1).” Denial : “My life is not about wants, but desires.” Affirmation : “I AM becoming more of the beloved offspring of  God that I already AM.” T.J. Holmes, an award-winning journalist and ABC news anchor and  correspondent, was the keynote speaker at my daughter,  Courtney’s, graduation from Walden University on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at the National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland.  It was one of the largest graduations that I had ever attended. There  were graduates there from all over the earth. I cried from the time  the commencement address began until it ended. It was more than  me being proud of my daughter’s accomplishment of getting a  master’s degree in business administration. It was deeper than the  gathering of family an

Spoken I AMs Read – John 6:53-70 Scripture: “ It is the Spirit that gives life, not the flesh. The words that I speak, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).” Denial: “There is no limit to who I can be.” Affirmation: “Everything that Jesus Christ said about himself, I can say about myself.” Jesus, our Wayshower, understood the power of his words.  Therefore, he made a conscious decision to speak life. When Jesus  said the words, I AM, he meant what he said. He was declaring his  divine nature and the truth of his being. When we see Jesus as our  Wayshower, it brings our attention to the truth that everything that  Jesus said about himself, we can say about ourselves. Every I AM  statement that Jesus made in the scriptures we can declare about  ourselves. There are seven recorded instances where Jesus actually begins a  statement with the words, I AM. I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35).  I AM the Light of the World (John 9:5). I AM the Good Shepherd  (John 10:11-14). I AM the

Praying in the Already

  “ He asked this only to try him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do (John 6:6).”  Many people see prayers from the imagery of two roles: Santa Claus or a short-order cook. Some see a Santa Claus who gives out toys and gifts based on their naughty or nice behavior. The thought is that if you do all the right things, then God hears and answers your prayers. However, if you think, say. or do something that is not right or perfect, then God will not give you what you desire.  Others see God as a short-order cook. A waitress takes your order then calls it out to the cook who makes it in the kitchen. When your order is ready, the cook rings the bell signaling the waitress to pick it up and bring it to your table so that you can eat it and pay the bill. Some people believe that through prayer, God takes your requests, cooks them up, and delivers them to you.  When you pray in the already, you realize that God is neither Santa Claus nor a short-order cook.
