ध्यान आपके लिए अच्छा माना जाता है और इसका समाज पर सकारात्मक प्रभाव होना चाहिए. एक बेहतर फोकस, एकाग्रता, स्मृति और भावनात्मक प्रसंस्करण में सुधार, अपने आंतरिक 'स्वयं' को खोजना, अंतर्मन की शांति, प्रबोधन, उपचारात्मक, ख़ुशी, चिंता कम करना, तनाव, डर, and depression. These are just some of the wonderful promises that persuade people, ईसाइयों सहित, to meditate. They think meditation is beneficial and has a positive impact on their lives, especially transcendental meditation. They don’t consider the negative side effects of meditation. But is meditation good for you or is meditation dangerous and a gateway to evil, चिंता, and disaster? Should Christians practice meditation or is meditation a sin? What is the spiritual danger of meditation that many people are not aware of?
The influence of meditation in Western society
Just for a moment, withdraw yourself from your busy life, empty your mind, unwind, and relax, to experience inner peace. It sounds so good and promising. And even (medical) science substantiates the claims of the benefits of meditation and promotes meditation. उस वजह से, meditation has become part of Western society.
Many schools, companies, (governmental) एजेंसियों, healthcare institutions, और (sports) clubs implemented meditation, without knowing the danger of meditation.
The Eastern spirit blows over the West, and very subtly and slowly the Easter spirit takes possession of the West.
Even churches and Christians, who supposed to be spiritual and know the spiritual danger of meditation, succumbed to the meditation hype. Due to this deceptive wandering spirit and the lack of spiritual knowledge, manychurches have become occult through the lives of carnal Christians.
Many Christians have been seduced by these Eastern religions and philosophies and their occult practices, including meditation. They apply meditation techniques thinking that meditation is beneficial and don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation. They meditate to find their inner ‘self’ and inner peace. But is this Biblical?
Should Christians meditate or is meditation a sin? What does the Bible say about meditation and the danger of meditation? To answer these questions, let us first look at the practice and history of meditation.
What is meditation?
Meditation is a method that uses natural techniques to connect with your inner ‘self’; your soul. Through meditation, you gain insights into yourself, strengthen yourself, and experience inner peace.
You can meditate on your breathing, a certain thought, शब्द(एस), mantra(एस), object, person(एस), activity, वगैरह.
Meditation is part of the Buddhist path to enlightenment (awakening); the state of Nirvana and self-realization
What is the origin of meditation?
Meditation, especially Transcendental Meditation (which is most practiced in Western society), has its origin in Hinduism and Buddhism. As you might know, Buddhism originated from Hinduism.
The oldest sacred texts that mention meditation are the Vedas. What does Vedas mean? Vedas means knowledge and originates from ancient India.
What are Vedas? Vedas are the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. From the Vedas, the practice of meditation evolved. Throughout the ages, many forms of meditation have developed.
Mediation originates from Hinduism and has influenced many cultures and religions. These different cultures and religions created different forms of meditation. तथापि, the spiritual roots of the practice of meditation are in Hinduism.
What are the types of meditation?
There are many types of meditation. A list of types of meditation is:
- Transcendental meditation (uses mantras)
- Body scan meditation
- Breathing meditation
- Contemplation
- Dance meditation
- Metta meditation (concentration meditation)
- Mindfulness meditation
- Reikमैं meditation
- Samatha meditation (concentration meditation)
- Tenang meditation (insight meditation)
- Vipassana meditation (insight meditation)
- Zen meditation
What is the spiritual danger of meditation?
कई लोग, ईसाइयों सहित, are not aware of the spiritual danger of meditation. They think they can separate the religious and spiritual aspects and origin from Eastern religions and philosophies and its practices. लेकिन यह असंभव है! Since the religions, दर्शन, and practices derive from the spiritual. (ये भी पढ़ें: क्या आप आध्यात्मिक को पूर्वी दर्शन और प्रथाओं से अलग कर सकते हैं??).
When you meditate, you use Eastern methods that originated from pagan religions and philosophies. These Eastern meditation methods are created, developed, and inspired by channeling with spirit guides or entities. These spirit guides or entities are in reality evil spirits (राक्षसों).
When you enter the spiritual realm out of the flesh (आत्मा और शरीर), and from your soul search for connections in the spiritual realm, you enter the territory of the devil (अंधेरा) and open yourself to evil spirits that enter your life.
When you meditate and apply meditation technics, you apply technics, which originally derived from evil spirits.
By practicing meditation methods, you submit to evil spirits. Because you believe that when you practice these meditation techniques you find and get, what you look for and want and what is promised.
You follow the words and techniques of people, who opened themselves to evil spirits. People who channeled with evil spirits and were inspired by these evil spirits.
By submitting to these evil spirits and have communion with them, you allow them into your life. You give control to them over your soul and body. उसी क्षण से, evil spirits will enter your life.
These evil spirits control and guide you through your senses, विचार, भावना, भावनाएँ, इच्छा, and body.
What are the negative side effects of meditation?
In the beginning, you feel great and peaceful and experience pleasant feelings. Maybe you experienced depression, चिंता, worry, or stress, and by meditating, these negative and destructive feelings disappeared. At that moment you don’t see any danger of meditation, on the contrary, you experience good things.
But this will only be temporary. Because evil spirits don’t tell the truth, but they lie. Evil spirits never give something for free. They always want something in return.
They gave you (temporary) peace in exchange for your soul. Since you listened to them and believed and obeyed them by practicing meditation and bowing down to them.
These evil spirits operate from your soul and start their destructive work in your life.
Who do you believe God or the devil?
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (जॉन 14:27)
बाइबल (दैवीय कथन) says, ‘Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you”. But instead of believing the words of God, Christians believe the words of evil spirits, which are spoken through the mouths of people, who denied God, और कहते हैं, “If you want to experience rest and peace in your life, then you have to bow down for me and follow these techniques and methods and I give you rest and peace.”
But if you listen to the devil and obey him and bow down to him, you will never get what he promises. Because the devil is a liar.
The devil wants to be the god of people. He wants the people to worship him and exhalt him. The purpose of the devil and evil spirits is to manifest the kingdom of darkness on earth. He can only do this through the lives of people. Therefore they try to control as many people as possible. They darken their minds, so that they don’t see the danger of meditation and fall into the trap of the devil.
The more people believe their lies, the more people bow down to them, submit to them, and give control to them. This way, they gain more power and the darkness increases on earth. (ये भी पढ़ें: शैतान की शक्ति पाप से संचालित होती है).
Demonic spirits are eager to give what carnal people desire, need, and ask for. As long as people yield to them and stay in the kingdom of darkness.
What is the carnal result of meditation?
चोर नहीं आता, लेकिन चोरी करने के लिए, और मारने के लिए, और नष्ट करने के लिए: मैं इसलिये आया हूँ कि वे जीवन पाएं, और यह कि उनके पास यह अधिक प्रचुर मात्रा में हो सकता है (जॉन 10:10).
The purpose of the devil and evil spirits is to steal, kill, and destroy. First, the devil will give you what you asked and searched for. But this is only temporary and will change soon.
Your feelings of happiness and peace shall change. Because you were not spiritually awake and watched and didn’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, you shall experience the carnal result of meditation aka the negative side effects of meditation. You shall feel weird and (extremely) tired and maybe experience headaches. Unclean (यौन) feelings will enter your mind and harass you.
You may experience difficulty concentrating, sleep problems (अनिद्रा), चिंता. You may experience changes in your behavior, like mood swings, lack of patience, अनियंत्रित क्रोध, or sudden fits of rage that cause verbal violence and/or violent behavior (domestic abuse).
Maybe you start hearing voices in your head, dictating to you what to do.
Through meditation, evil spirits of sexual uncleanness, व्यभिचार, व्यभिचार, तलाक, मूर्ति पूजा, लत, and violence, (mental and physical sickness) enter and control your mind and manifest in your life.
कई लोग, who have engaged in meditation and entered the occult realm from their soul, became victims of the devil and suffer from mental illness.
What is the Danger of transcendental meditation?
बहुत सारे लोग है, who practiced transcendental meditation and became anxious, distressed, or depressed after (transcendental) meditation.
Many people suffer from severe mental health issues, व्यसनों, and/or have become violent towards themselves and others. They struggle with intrusive thoughts, depressive thoughts, आतंक के हमले, चिंता, आशंका, suicidal thoughts, or end up in psychosis.
Instead of finding themselves and finding peace and happiness through transcendental meditation, they found the opposite. They became worse than they were before practicing transcendental meditation
Does Christian meditation exist?
Does Christian meditation exist? Of course not! Although there are so-called Christians, who say they practice Christian meditation or a derivative of meditation, like a (meditative) prayer with prayer beads, contemplative prayer, centering prayer, Lectio Divina (contemplative reading of the Bible), Christian body scans, Christian silence retreats. लेकिन सच तो यह है, there is no such thing as Christian meditation.
Isn’t it strange, that the Bible exist for ages and suddenly in the last 20 years all kinds of strange doctrines and methods, which are copied from Eastern religions, दर्शन, और new-age cults, appear and are taught and applied in churches?
If meditation were a Biblical principle and practiced, why isn’t it mentioned in the Bible and included in the Law? Wouldn’t God’s people practiced it for ages? Which is not the case. At least, when you read the Bible in the whole and right context. Instead of picking and choosing a word or a part of a sentence, change it and build your doctrine upon it.
Are contemplative prayer, centering prayer, and lectio divina Biblical?
Contemplative prayer, centering prayer, and Lectio Divina are just some of the many occult practices that the catholic church has practiced for ages. तथापि, we must remember, that the catholic church went astray and adopted occult practices from pagan religions, दर्शन, and cultures, in the very early stage of Christianity. Why did the catholic church adopt paganism? The catholic church adopted paganism to attract unbelievers to the church.
The church compromised. As a result, the church became the catholic church; the adulterous and universal church that is full of idolatry, occult rituals and practices, and sexual uncleanness.
The devil succeeded then in seducing the church. And the devil still succeeds in seducing the church with the same subtle techniques.
Because not only the catholic church, but almost all denominations succumbed and are defiled and influenced by the powers of darkness and became occult churches. They didn’t see the spiritual danger of meditation and all other pagan doctrines and rituals. (ये भी पढ़ें: गुप्त चर्च).
Nowhere in the New Testament, do we read about Christian meditation, as practiced today. We don’t read that Jesus meditated. तथापि, some false teachers contradict this. They say that Jesus meditated. But that’s a lie from the pit of hell.
Did Jesus meditate?
Jesus didn’t meditate but Jesus prayed. Jesus spent a lot of time with His Father in prayer. He didn’t use carnal methods and techniques to empty His mind, seek His Father, become one with His Father, and have a mystical experience in His flesh (भावनाओं और उमंगे), and experience His love or connect Himself to His inner ‘Self’.
Jesus knew who He was. He lived in union with the Father through the Spirit. Jesus knew He was God’s Son and knew the will and the love of His Father. If Jesus meditated to feel the oneness with God and experience the love of His Father in His flesh, Jesus would have walked after the flesh and led by the flesh. But Jesus walked by faith after the Spirit and not after the flesh.
We also don’t read anything about Jesus commanding His disciples to meditate.
Jesus never instructed His disciples to apply carnal techniques and methods to ‘get there’ or for ‘self-salvation’.
We also don’t read that the disciples meditated and practiced meditation methods. The disciples prayed, which is completely different!
When the disciples were the old creation, they asked Jesus Christ to teach them how to pray. Jesus taught them how to pray.
In the prayer of Jesus, the will of God and His Kingdom are the center and not (the will of) people and not people’s earthly kingdom.
When the disciples became the new creation, they didn’t need anyone to teach them how to pray. Because their spirit was raised from the dead. And the Holy Spirit, who dwelled in them, taught them and directed them in their prayers. If they didn’t know what to pray, the Holy Spirit helped in their infirmities (रोमनों 8:26=27)
Jesus and His disciples prayed
Jesus and the disciples prayed to the Father. But they didn’t use all kinds of carnal techniques and methods to ‘become more spiritual’, experience carnal warm and fuzzy feelings of love or unity, or receive (सामग्री) blessings for themselves. They died to ‘self’; they died to the will, अभिलाषाओं, और देह की इच्छाएँ. इसलिए, their prayers focused on the will of God and establishing and enlarging the Kingdom of God on earth.
But because many Christians are not born again and are not spiritual but carnal and still belong to the generation of fallen man and the world, they are subject to the spirits of this world and don’t see the danger of meditation.
They live under the dominion of worldly spirits (elements of this world). These worldly spirits cause Christians to adopt and apply the carnal knowledge, बुद्धि, religions, दर्शन, techniques, तरीकों, and practices of the world into their lives.
How Christians have christianized meditation?
To justify meditation and make meditation approved in the church, without feeling guilty towards God, carnal Christians have poured out a pious Christian sauce over the practice of meditation by putting the word ‘Christian’ in front of meditation. This way, they can join the world instead of being excluded.
And so Christian meditation came into being and many so-called Christians, including theologians and leaders of the church, practice meditation.
Many Christians don’t have time to pray and read and study the Bible in the whole and right context (this doesn’t mean Lectio Divina). क्यों? Because they are too busy with their daily lives, (सामाजिक) मिडिया, (सामाजिक) activities, और entertainment.
तथापि, they do have time to meditate. And if they don’t, they make time to meditate and empty their minds and focus and search for their inner self and oneness with God and have a mystical experience with God and feel God’s presence and His feelings of love for them.
The flesh doesn’t want to submit to the will of God and pray. But the flesh wants to meditate. This proves the flesh still reigns and the ‘self’ is still alive and sits on the throne of someone’s life.
A carnal church rejects sanctification and embraces sin
Many churches reject repentance, sanctification and the removal of sin. उस वजह से, the people don’t change but stay carnal and persevere in sin and allow and approve of sin in the church.
They reject the baptism in water and with the Holy Spirit. They also reject speaking in tongues, which is a commandment of Jesus Christ in the Bible. But the churches allow occult Eastern practices that derive from the carnal mind of people, who were influenced by demonic spirits, and they bow down to the god of this world.
This proves the churches are carnal. Therefore they don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation or any other occult practice. And because they don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, they practice meditation.
The people want short sermons and church services. So that people have more time to fellowship. But meditating in a lotus or combined prayer position on a mat on the cold floor in the church for an hour is not a problem.
What does the Bible say about meditation?
meditation in the Old Testament
There is no Biblical meditation. The word ‘meditate’, in the Old Testament of the Bible, refers to the remembrance of God’s laws, His words that represent His will, and what God had done. So that His people knew the will of God and His acts forever.
By meditating on the laws and words of God, God’s law would be in the minds of His people. Since the mind determines every word and deed, the people of God would live according to the will of God and would honor and exalt Him through their obedience to His law; उसकी वसीयत.
The meditation in the Bible didn’t refer to connections in the spiritual realm, searching the will of God, and experiencing and feeling God’s presence and oneness with God. Since God had made His will known to His people by giving the law. But the meditation in the Old Testament referred to getting to know God and the will of God by meditating on the law of God.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth”
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success (यहोशू 1:7-8)
उदाहरण के लिए, Joshua had to meditate upon the law of God night and day. क्यों? So that the law of God, which reveals the will of God, be known by Joshua, who had to lead God’s people.
As a leader of God’s people, Joshua had to know the will of God, and obey and keep the will of God in everything he did. So that Joshua and God’s people would walk according to the will of God and God would be with him (और उसके लोग) and bless him and make his ways prosperous.
David meditated on the Law of God
David meditated upon the law of God the whole day. This doesn’t mean, that David sat on a mat in a lotus position facing the East the whole day and meditated in silence. नहीं, it meant that God’s will was written in David’s mind. David was delighted to live according to God’s will. David hoped that the meditations of his heart, upon which the law of God was written, were pleasing to Him. (ओह. भजन संहिता 5:1-2; 19:14; 49:3; 104:34-35;119:97-104).
If only the people, who go to church, read and study the Bible, renew their minds with the Word of God, and meditate upon the will of God, as in the Old Testament, they would know the will of God. And if they love God, their lives will be according to the will of God. (ये भी पढ़ें: क्या आप भगवान से पूरे दिल से प्यार करते हैं??).
Then they would fear the Lord and love God with all their heart, दिमाग, आत्मा, और ताकत. They’d see the spiritual danger of meditation.
They would stay faithful to God, instead of committing idolatry by following false religions and philosophies, adopting their techniques, तरीकों, अनुष्ठान, objects and serving false gods, and practicing sexual uncleanness.
They’d love their neighbor as themselves and wouldn’t commit fornication or adultery and divorce their spouse but stay loyal to their vow. They wouldn’t steal.
The children wouldn’t rebel against their parents, but respect their parents and honor them.
“O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day”
They wouldn’t kill, but let others live (including babies). They would no longer lie, but speak the truth and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and not be ashamed. And they would be satisfied and no longer covet the possessions of their neighbors.
But the people don’t do that.
Joshua and David belonged to the generation of the old creation (आप गिरे) and not the new man, who has been restored and made whole in Christ. इसलिए, let’s look at what is written in the New Testament about meditation.
meditation in the New Testament
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist (ल्यूक 21:12-15)
Jesus said to His disciples, that if the people persecuted them, put them into prison, and brought them before kings and rulers, they wouldn’t have to meditate before what they would answer, since Jesus would give them a mouth and wisdom.
The word ‘meditation’ didn’t relate to Eastern meditation, which is practiced today
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee (1 टिमोथी 4:13-16)
Paul commanded Timothy to stay faithful to the sound gospel of Jesus Christ. He urged Timothy to give attendance to reading, exhortation, and doctrine. Paul commanded Timothy to take heed to himself and meditate on all that was taught and give himself to it.
Again, the word ‘meditate’ didn’t refer to the Eastern practice of meditation. This meditation had nothing to do with the natural well-being and consciousness of people, but the will of Jesus and the will of the Father and keeping the gospel of Jesus sound.
“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification”
Because everything revolves around the will of God. पुराने नियम में, it was all about following the Law of God that represented the will of God. The मूसा का कानून was a teacher for God’s people that set them apart from the pagan nations and warned them and protected and kept them from the pagan knowledge, बुद्धि, religion, दर्शन, practices, और अनुष्ठान. Because God wanted a holy people, who separated themselves from the pagan nations who were evil and served the devil.
God wanted His people to be devoted to Him and know His thoughts and His will.
God wanted His people to walk in His will and His ways and please Him, instead of committing the same abominations as the evil pagan nations practiced, who didn’t know God but served other gods (the devil and demons).
And in the New Covenant, it’s about faith in Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him (lay down the sinful flesh of the बूढ़ा आदमी और नए आदमी को पहनो, who is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him. (कुलुस्सियों 3:10)).
It means separation from the world (world system). Following the Word of God, and walking after the Spirit in the will of God.
The law of God is written in the mind and upon the heart of the new man (नया निर्माण), through the baptism with the Holy Spirit And because the law is written in the mind and upon the heart of the new man, the new man walks after the will of God and pleases God.
This shall cause conflicts and persecution in the world. Since the new man no longer belongs to the world, but to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Meditation in the Bible referred to the will of God
If you have become a new creation, you want to please God. And if you please God, you displease the world and bear the consequences of your new life in Christ. If you are not able to bear the consequences of your new life in Christ, and want to please the world, then you will displease God.
The meditation in the Bible referred to the knowledge of the will of God, through His words in the Bible. It refers to doing the will of God and meant to please God instead of man.
How do you search for your inner self?
In meditation, the focus is on ‘self’. You are the center. If you meditate to search for your inner ‘self’ and to experience peace and rest or you search for a mystical experience with God or a spiritual deepening, then you haven’t found the Truth Jesus Christ yet and you are not born again.
क्योंकि, through regeneration, the flesh of the old man, including ‘self’ is crucified in Christ. इसलिए, how can you search for your inner self? How can you make a connection with your inner ‘self’ if your ‘self’ has died in Christ and no longer lives?
Is meditation the same as prayer?
Is meditation the same as prayer? नहीं, meditation is not the same as prayer. And it’s about time, that people, who say they are Christians and claim to be born again and know God, stop with all this junk, repent of their sinful practices, and become aware of the spiritual danger of meditation.
Meditation focuses on ‘self’. It focuses on the enrichment of ‘self’, the improvement of your ‘self’, and the redemption of ‘self’, with the ultimate goal of reaching the state of enlightenment; nirvana
Meditation is part of the eight-fold path in Buddhism and focuses on the ‘self’. All the techniques and methods are for self-redemption. Instead of making a person more peaceful and loving, it makes a person more selfish.
Prayer focus not on ‘self’. But prayer focuses on Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. You are reconciled with God the Father and have access to the Father, through Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him. इसलिए, you may pray directly to the Father. What a privilege!
You don’t have to follow all kinds of prayer techniques and methods to get there. Because through regeneration in Christ, you are already there.
Why the devil wants Christians to stop praying and start meditating?
Prayer is communion with the Father through Jesus Christ. Prayer is a spiritual weapon in the spiritual war. Besides the Word, prayer is extremely important in the spiritual battle between the Kingdom of God and the darkness.
The devil knows the importance of prayer. Therefore he has one goal and that is to make fervent prayers lukewarm and eliminate them. The devil seduces everyone in the flesh (आत्मा और शरीर) because that is his territory.
As long as Christians stay carnal and walk after the flesh, their carnal mind will not discern the spirits, and not see the danger of meditation and fall into his trap. They shall believe his lies, submit to him, and pray less, or even stop praying and forsake prayer meetings. And because many don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, they start meditating.
Meditation is not under attack but promoted.
Again, people don’t want to bow down and kneel in the church to pray to God. But for Christian meditation, they are eager to roll out their mat and bow down and take their position and focus on ‘self’ and use Christian mantras (Christian words, like God, यीशु, Maranatha, वगैरह।) to relax and experience pleasant feelings, which they think originate from God, जबकि वास्तविकता में, these feelings derive from the god of this world; शैतान.
Many Christians are misled and tempted by the new age spirit that revolves around ‘self’
The Church of Jesus Christ is a mess, due to the spiritual havoc the spirit of new age caused. Many churches have rejected the Holy Spirit, जीवित शब्द; Jesus Christ the Son of God, and even God the Father. The people have replaced the place of God in the church.
The focus is no longer on Jesus Christ and doing His will (the will of the Father) and pleasing Jesus Christ and the Father. But the focus is on ‘self’ and supernatural experiences, भावना, signs, and wonders and pleasing ‘self’.
Most Christians love their carnal lives. They want to keep their lives and are not willing to lay down their own lives in Christ.
उस वजह से, they use all kinds of carnal techniques, तरीकों, and natural means to tap into the spiritual realm and experience supernatural manifestations, भावना, and emotions in their flesh.
By applying occult techniques and methods, they try to become one with God and feel Him. Instead of taking the Bible and getting to know the will of God and submit to Him and do His will in their lives.
Because of this behavior, many Christians are led astray. Many Christians move into the occult and allow evil spirits to inspire them. They communicate with these wicked spirits of darkness that pretend to be Jesus, पवित्र आत्मा, and even God the Father.
They think they are spiritual and please God, जबकि वास्तविकता में, the only god they please is the devil.
What are the signs of Christians moving into the occult?
How do you know when Christians move in the occult? Some visible signs that Christians move into the occult are tiredness, अनिद्रा, mental disorders, गुस्सा, and especially sexual uncleanness.
As the Church of Jesus Christ, you should stay within the framework of the Bible and reject every strange doctrine or heresy, that originates from carnal wisdom, ज्ञान, opinion, जाँच - परिणाम, भावना, and experiences, that deviate from the Word of God.
The Church should try the spirits
प्यारा, हर आत्मा पर विश्वास नहीं करते, परन्तु आत्माओं को परखो कि वे परमेश्वर की ओर से हैं या नहीं: क्योंकि बहुत से झूठे भविष्यद्वक्ता जगत में निकल गए हैं (1 जॉन 4:1)
वचन कहता है, that we have to try the spirits whether they are of God. Many people possess a spirit that pretends to be Jesus or the Holy Spirit, while in reality is an evil spirit that belongs to the kingdom of darkness. This evil spirit lies and keeps the person in bondage and ensures the person stays carnal, keeps doing the works of the flesh, and perseveres in sin.
And so many churches allow spirits, who accept and promote sin, deny God the Creator of heaven and earth, and adopt pagan religions, दर्शन, अनुष्ठान, techniques, and methods and lead the believers astray and make them lukewarm and passive for God and His Kingdom.
The Church should preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ again
But it’s about time that the true gospel of Jesus Christ, the cross, His blood, पछतावा, and sanctification will be preached again.
It’s time that the flesh of the old man dies. That the spirit of the new man rises from the dead and puts off the works of the old man. ताकि, a real revival takes place and the Church becomes awake and alive
It’s time that believers take their Bible. Fill and renew their minds with the Word of God. So that they get to know the will of God, live according to the will of God, and be witnesses of Jesus Christ on earth. Instead of emptying their minds, turn off their minds through meditation and become a channel of evil spirits.
It’s time that Christians wake up and see the spiritual danger of meditation and remove the practice of meditation from their lives.
It’s about time to confront the ungodly, the sinners, with their evil works and make the danger of meditation and other occult practices known to them and call them to repentance. Instead of compromising and condone their sins and joining them and glorifying the devil and the unclean spirits of the kingdom of darkness.
Therefore repent of your sins. Remove these occult practices of new age and Eastern religions from your life. Be redeemed through Christ and become a new creation in Christ and enter His rest (इब्रा 4).
Read and study the Bible. Renew your mind with the words of God. ताकि, you get to know Jesus and the Father and their will and serve God. Instead of listening to the voice of your carnal will, भावना, भावनाएँ, अभिलाषाओं, और इच्छाएँ. And through your flesh serve the devil and the poor worldly spirit and live in bondage in darkness.
Is meditation a sin?
You can meditate on religious words, parts of the Scriptures, ईश्वर, यीशु, or the Holy Spirit. But that doesn’t make any difference to the heathen practice of meditation, which you practice, and your participation in the spiritual realm with evil spirits.
You can think what you want and make yourself believe that there is no danger of meditation. You can manipulate your thoughts and feelings, but that doesn’t change the truth and the danger of meditation or make the practice of meditation right.
Is meditation a sin? Meditation is a pagan method that derives from Hinduism, which is an abomination to God. It shall always remain an abomination to God. Therefore meditation is a sin, despite the opinions of people.
Are you searching for rest and peace?
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (मैथ्यू 11:28-30)
Meditation doesn’t give you and everlasting rest and peace. Meditation is not the way to redemption. It is not the way to salvation. There is only one Person, who can give you everlasting rest and peace and save you and that is Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God!
Jesus Christ took all your sins and iniquities upon Him and died on the cross and entered Hades (hell). After three days, Jesus rose from the dead as Victor with the keys of hell and death.
Jesus gave everyone the opportunity to be redeemed from the sinful nature of the old man (आप गिरे) and become a new man through faith and regeneration in Him and be reconciled with God. (ये भी पढ़ें: What is the true meaning of the cross?)
How to repent of meditation?
If are a Christian and you were not aware of the danger of meditation and practiced meditation and you experience demonic influences in your life (personal life, marriage, family life), then all you have to do is ask forgiveness and repent of your sins and renounce your sins and command every evil spirit to leave your life in the Name of Jesus.
If you are not Christian, but you believe that Jesus died on the cross for you and is risen from the death and brought salvation, so that you could be delivered from the power of the devil and darkness, then all you have to do is turn to Christ and ask Him to come into your life. Repent of your sins and your old life as a sinner and become born again in Christ through the death of the flesh and the resurrection of your spirit from the dead (बपतिस्मा) and be reconciled with God by the blood of Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit.
How can you experience the peace of God in your life?
I you are a born-again Christians, then you don’t have to look for peace. You don’t have to apply all kinds of carnal techniques, तरीकों, and use natural means to get what you want, as in pagan religions and philosophies. Because by faith and regeneration in Jesus Christ and by His blood, you are already there (the restored position in Christ).
If you are born again you have the peace of God, which passes all understanding, inside of you. क्योंकि भगवान का साम्राज्य, which is in you, is righteousness, शांति, and joy through the Holy Ghost.
If you don’t have peace in your life, you haven’t found the Truth yet. If you haven’t found the Truth, it’s about time to search for the Truth (ये भी पढ़ें: If you have found the Truth, why are you still searching?).
