SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES: Life patterns that direct us to God and disciple us more fully into the likeness of Jesus Christ.

NO EXCUSES God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him... 2 Peter 1:3

May God himself,...sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. 1 Thes. 5:23-24

Pray Out Loud Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night … Joshua 1:8

To Meditate: to murmur, to mutter, to have a deep tone, growl (like a lion over its prey), groan, utter, moan (like a dove), mourn.

Pick up your Sword of the Spirit. (Ephesians 6) The word of God is living and active... (Hebrews 4:12)

Begin to pray/read Bible verses and chapters phrase by phrase, slowly and repetitively.

Why Out Loud? Two reasons…

*So you know when you’ve stopped. *Because it’s hard to think about something else when you’re talking!
