Is Meditation Evil?

What are you meditating on and why are you meditating? There are a whole lot of people meditating right now who are, but unfortunately most of them are trying to create an experience. They are trying to call something up or call something down or create an environment that makes them feel better. If you’re doing that and something shows up, you need to run. And I don’t mean just run out of the room. You need to run—run from that kind of meditation. The only thing you should ever be meditating on is God’s Word and the truth of His Word. You are not meditating on that to have some kind of experience. That’s not why you are doing it. You are meditating to get changed on the inside. His Word tells us, plain as day, that believers are not to follow signs and wonders. Signs and wonders are to follow the believer. When we draw close to God, he changes us on the inside. When we get changed on the inside, the outside takes care of itself. And part of the outside is our feelings, our happiness and joy, and all those things. The last thing: happiness is not our goal. Love is our goal. Sometimes love leads to happiness, but sometimes it leads us right through the middle of hell. So, happiness is not the goal. Love is the goal. So, be careful what you meditate on. Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Trust God’s Word no matter what. Keep your eyes on the horizon. If this doesn’t make sense, read my book, “The Right Fight: How To Live a Loving Life.” It’s all in there.
