Great stuff Keith! 👊🏻

Thanks!

Thank you for this example of how to meditate using the fruit of the Spirit. I get so engrossed in my work everyday (computer work all day long) so in turn I’m not good about pondering on any verses but I really love this idea of breathing them. I’m going to try stopping at least every hour for a couple of minutes to do this.

Great idea. Let me know how it goes!

I appreciate you so much. Thank you for being my bible coach!

[@keithferrin]

My pleasure. It's an honor!

[@denisechristman8399]

Best explanation for meditating on scripture I ever heard, worth practicing. Thank you!

[@keithferrin]

Thank you Denise! You're very kind. I'm glad it was helpful.

Thank you. Daily I do a Christian prayer meditation. After your video, I now will apply that to actual scripture meditation. I also do a short affirmation meditation and set an intention for the day. I think Scripture affirmations can also be a good thing.......We all know first we think it and then we act on our thoughts. So thank you for your helpful video and giving us a starting point of Fruits of the Spirit.

My pleasure! I love your routine!

Oh, thank you for your ministry. I have been “internalizing“ the book of Ephesian for about a month now.. your technique is amazing. God for you.

Thanks Deborah! You are so kind!

Thank you for a specific example of how to meditate on Scripture. It takes the two concepts of meditation and pondering Scripture and brings them together in a way I never considered before.

[@keithferrin]

I find that combining the two is my favorite way to "renew the mind."

I think the most significant thing I gained regarding meditation was from Joshua 1. "it shall not depart from your mouth" and the idea that while mediating we should be reciting and mumbling it to ourselves. It really forced me to more so engage scripture with focus. It pulled in the brains use of speaking and the hearing, like a whole soul entertainment. This sounds like a great method to intentionally slow down.

[@keithferrin]

Joshua 1 is SO good. And a great reminder that meditating on the Word is incredibly important as we head into battle! Blessings!

@@keithferrin you as well my brother!

A miss on the Jeremiah Scripture reference on this video at 5:24 you listed as psalm 119:148 instead of Jeremiah

[@keithferrin]

@@ronaldbayless8483 Yup. It’s actually Joshua. Unfortunately, you can’t edit and re-upload a video once it’s already on KZbin. Ugh.
