006 | Discerning God’s Voice Through Meditation in 3 Steps

Hey Sister!   As a Christian woman who is navigating life in the messy middle, I REALLY want God’s direction in everything!  And then I want confidence – to KNOW that I am hearing HIS voice and discerning His guidance in my daily life.  I WANT to follow Jesus, to cultivate radical surrender and obedience -- and knowing that I know that I know His voice is a VITAL part of that.  How about you?  Do you recognize Jesus’ voice?  How confident are you in discerning God’s direction day to day?  Biblical or Christian meditation is a discipline that helps us cultivate our spiritual senses – especially our spiritual ears, our listening skills.  The practice of biblical meditation calls us to intentionally separate ourselves from the noise, hurry, and crowds... to create some open space in our minds and hearts where God can have room to speak and move.  And here's the real kicker -- where we have room to HEAR his voice.  Because the truth is, God is ALWAYS speaking and moving.  We just need the space to learn to hear and discern.  Today we’re getting into the nuts and bolts, the how-to do it.  Meditation is not complicated at all, which is the beautiful thing!  But it isn’t one of those things that you can really learn from a book, or even a podcast!  -- you’ve got to just “do it.”  What I can do is give you some hints and suggestions from my own experience, and we’re going to walk through an example step-by-step, so you can begin receiving the blessings of hearing God’s voice through biblical meditation.  Joy to you!  Angie Let’s Talk – angie@realizemorewithgod.org Join the community - http://community.realizemorewithgod.org Mentions --  Psalm 27:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Matthew 6:6, Mark 10:46-52, Psalm 34:8 Discover the promise keys that give you access to God’s presence in Episode 003 -  Realize More With God, Christian Women, Relationship with God, Guidance from God, Christian Devotional: 003 | 4 Keys to Connecting with God in Worship on Apple Podcasts Pursue More -- - Review our study of 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 in this episode and then practice meditating on this passage.  Episode 004 - Realize More With God, Christian Women, Relationship with God, Guidance from God, Christian Devotional: 004 | Are You Captive to God’s Purpose for Your Life? on Apple Podcasts

Hey, I’m Angie! Entrepreneur and educator, re-purposed by God in midlife as mentor, missionary, and practical theologian. I was busy achieving all the things, when one day I woke up in midlife – and it didn’t look at all like I expected! The death of my parents, caring for a disabled husband, financial and job changes, and the list goes on…can you relate? Even my own health –the insomnia and midlife mind-warp – ugh!… The whole thing felt like quicksand and I was stuck in the middle! I finally realized my faith was too flimsy for all the STUFF midlife was throwing at me! I wanted more –not religion, but an absolutely authentic and life-transforming relationship with God. I longed for something more than I had known to this point. I knew Jesus had to be my true Source of fulfillment and power to move forward! It has been a journey -- but God pulled me out of the pit and put my feet on the path to a life of peace and RENEWED purpose—right here, in the middle!
