Meditating on the Word

One of the things that Josh and I have been trying to teach our students to do is to dive deep in the word. One of the best ways we know to do this is by using the Meditation Model from the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. With this model you basically focus on one verse and ask the questions who, what, when, where, and why about a verse. After a set period of time, we all come back together and share what we feel like the Lord has shared with us.

Today as a class we meditated on Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God”. It was amazing to hear what everyone had been speaking to everyone. One of my personal favorite revelations was something Joshua shared. He was captivated by the words “shall see God”. He said that seeing God is our destiny in this age, and the age to come.

I don’t know if you think about eternity very often, but it is fascinating. The heavenly scene in set in Revelation 4 and 5, talks about creatures with eyes everywhere. The bible says that those creatures are continuously moving around the thrown gazing at God. They are just looking at God with all their eyes. God is so fascinating that for thousands of years these creatures have just been gazing and worshiping God. Now if God is that awesome…don’t you think we will be gazing at Him when we get to Heaven? It made sense to me, and I am prety sure it is scriptural. Check out the Book of Revelations it is facinating!
