472 We Have Been Made Holy, A Guided Christian Meditation on Hebrews 10:8-10 with the Recenter With Christ app

I'm Chaplain Jared and I work as a hospice chaplain and an ICU chaplain. My purpose in making this podcast is to help you find more peace in your life and to be more open for your heart to be changed by the Spirit of God. By using centuries old form of Christian Meditation named Lectio Divina:

Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.

Get into a place where you can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tensing or unrelaxing. If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes. Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation: Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate, deflate.

Bible verses for Meditation:

NIV 8 First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them"—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

NKJV 8 Previously saying, "Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Meditation:

The Enemy wants to divert us from peace and happiness. He wants us to fall for one of two lies. 1. That we are already exactly as we need to be and need not improve 2. We are so hideous and irredeemable that we may as well fully embrace sin.

Both these lies attempt to subvert Gods messages in scripture. 1. God's guiding grace is how we overcome the sin about us. 2. To have faith in Christ is to continue walking with Him as He continues to perfect us.

The law points to this greater thing ahead as it says earlier in the chapter. He planned for us to grow together with Him. That is how Grace works in our lives. Embrace the loving nature of God, how he loves us just as we are and will support us to become better than we could have imagined. Through God we can be made pure.

Meditation of Prayer:

Pray as directed by the Spirit.

Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him.

Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm:

I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.
