Pastor Mike is joined by guest co-host Dean Carmichael for the continuing discussion on the role of meditative prayer in our spiritual formation. Particularly, the discussion centers on just why this is so important, and why making this a priority in the morning is extremely helpful to building a God consciousness in our entire day.
Resource Mentioned:
In the heart of every true follower of Christ there is a power invested by the Holy Spirit, the power of true godliness. This power is given to us so that we might live the gospel, have power to witness for the kingdom, power to reflect the light, love, and life of Jesus Christ in a world gone utterly mad in its darkness and despair. The Mystery of Godliness is a compilation of the teaching conducted in a three-day church conference in August of 2020 at the McLeansville Baptist Church in McLeansville, NC. The purpose of the conference was to teach and experience what true godliness is...
1) Christ formed in our lives (more than imitation, but an impartation of His nature).
2) Discovering true holiness that is rooted in our deep love of God and walk with Him, not in our compliance with religious traditions or man-made rules.
3) To unlock the potential of spiritual disciplines that will develop godliness in our lives.
4) To prepare every Soldier of Christ for the reality of spiritual warfare, both the defensive and offensive postures, and how the above disciplines play a vital role. "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness" - 1 Timothy 3:16
