Daily walk in Worship

Antiochene Christian Mediation & Prayer

Learning to walk in your Christian Faith daily - Your whole life should be worship to God.

By Eric William King

Christians need to pray always. When we talk to God it is like talking to a Perfect Father. You can go to God for anything, about anything. We also need to thank God always and consider all that He has given us, even the “little things”.

We meditate on the Word of God as we read it. What does this mean? We read and ask ourselves, “How does this apply to me today? What can I learn from this?”

Read the Holy Scriptures

We may choose certain Psalms to read in the morning and at night. We may choose topics from the Bible to study and think on. We can sing to the Lord also. Listening to Christian music and singing Christian music is worship throughout the day. Remembering Bible verses to help comfort us in times of trouble is also a daily practice.

One simple way to do Christians meditation is to sit in a comfortable chair or sit back on a comfortable couch and read the Scriptures. Think about what you are reading, what does it mean? How can I learn from this? How can I apply this to my life? Talk to God. You should have a time to do this every day. Many like to do it in the evening or early morning.

Having silent time everyday with God is extremely important.

Communion & Church Worship

Some Christians like to memorize the Apostles Creed and the Ten Commandments - foundational meditations for the early Christians. We partake of the Eucharist (Holy Communion) when we can and participate in liturgical worship, singing and praising through corporate worship within the church weekly.

Daily Walks

If you cannot worship in a church building you can worship here. You can worship by meeting with other Christians in friendship or just by praying with and for others. Take walks and enjoy the things which God has created. Daily walks are important for the Christian.

In the World but not of the World

As Christians we maintain the individual identity that God gave us. The only thing we renounce is the “fallen world” with its fake reality and synthetic morals. We give up the Fallen Matrix. We give up our fallen nature and surrender to the Divine Will. We experiment with God’s Truth and leave “mans truth” behind.

True individuality is not accomplished until the person discovers who they truly are in Christ. This fallen world is without true worship and contact with Divine Intelligence, instead it follows the denizens of Darkness. The world lives in the Fallen Matrix. The masses are for the most part, controlled by the tactics of fallen psychology. The politicians manipulate individuals and society.

True Christians have received the “New Birth” and are awake to what is really going on. As Christians we have the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ….download it into your soul now! Though we live in this fallen world there is still much beauty here for us to take in and enjoy. We are careful who we befriend but at the same time we show compassion on the lost and hurting. Though we live in this fallen world we are not consumed by it.

Using Decrees

The Ancient Antiochene Christians use decrees in their daily meditations. Decrees are not prayers; they are confirmations – spoken sparks of life. When we decree we remind our subconscious mind that God is in control. They can be repeated silently or out loud. Here are three decrees used by Antiochene Christians today:

Jesus Christ the Truth Divine,

Blaze within this heart of mine,

I am in your Sphere of Light,

May I shine forever bright.

______________________________

God is in me,

Working through me,

Forgiving and guiding me,

Oh God, thou art my protection.

______________________________

I am forgiven – by the Love of God

I am washed – by the Love of God

I am sealed – by the Love of God

I am saved – by the Love of God

God is Friendship, God is Love, God is Truth.

These are invocations of God’s love and power. Many Christians design their own personal decrees to help program correct thinking throughout the day. Some like to use quotes from the Psalms in their decrees. A specific Bible verse may become a favored decree. We each develop our own personal relationship with Divine Intelligence.

When others wrongfully judge you, forgive.

Our whole life is a life of worship; whatever we do we are serving the Lord.

We (Antiochene Christians) also enjoy listening to some of the early Greek Christian Chants. We do not accept these meditations if they “pray to Mary” or “Saints”, we only use those which glorify the Lord and agree with Scripture.

Finally, we urge you to READ good books. Reading and studying keeps your mind healthy and strong.

May our God continue to richly bless you. Trust and rest in Him every day!
