My Assignment: Week # 3 Questions/Answers:


1).     According to this lesson how many steps are there in meditation?

In this lesson there are three steps to meditation.

2).    What are those steps

The answer is observation, interpretation, and application.

3).    Explain each steps briefly.

Observation:

Observation is the action or process of observing something or someone carefully or in order to gain information. We take the Word of God and examining it closely, we don't just read it.

Interpretation:

We are to mediate on the Word long enough to explain its meaning of what is written in that verse.

Application:

Application means to act on and put something into operation. Just as God desire His people to do concerning His Word. We must act upon God's Word.

4).    Read James 1:1-4

"James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience."

The testing of our faith produces endurance.

6).    Meditation is a gratifying and rewarding experience that increases our intimacy with the Lord and our fascination with the Bible as we hear Him speak to us personally through His Word.              

7).    To you, what is disciplining your mind?

I believe that just as self-discipline is self-control, so also is the mind is to be control by God's Word. When we fight against things that comes in our way of studying God's Word, we are disciplining our mind through God's Word.

8).    Read 1 Peter 1:13, explain.

"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;" I believe it is telling us to stay focus on God's Word, and don't let anything get in the way of meditating on God's Word, and then we can we can have hope in the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.

9).    Read 2 Corinthians 10:5, explain.

"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" I love this scripture! It was explain very well in the lesson, "I want to have a controlling interest in what crosses my mind. I am not going to feed my mind with things that will be destructive to me, or will not be positive or beneficial to me."

10).  When mediating on God's Word, what is required on our part as to disciplinary of our mind?

It will require action on our part, conscious discipline will help us to meditate on God's Word daily. We can control our minds with the Holy Spirit's help. I am a witness!
