This is an age when the power of concentration is vital. More and more people and groups are doing transcendental meditation to improve their concentration. Furthermore, people are focusing on one area to achieve plausible achievements or to create outstanding masterpieces. However, for you who know the Gospel, in what ways should you be different?

1. The Eyes to See the Spiritual Stream
As a child of God, you don’t need to focus on maximizing your abilities. It’s more essential to take time to focus solely on Him and to confirm your identity that has been created in His image. Because humans are spiritual beings, when they’re closely connected with God, they’ll gain strength and can enjoy His power as their own. In doing so, they’ll see a world without the Gospel and listen to an age that only talks about ideas that are different and incorrect. In this ubiquitous age that has been achieved through cutting-edge technology, addictions and obsessions, emotional and mental problems are getting worse day by day. In addition, you’ll understand the reason why social problems such as suicide and crime have grown out of control.

2. A Life That Creates Spiritual Masterpieces
Those who have seen the spiritual stream of the age will have to make a decision because they know that there’s no other way, but to focus on God. This is the beginning and essence of a spiritual system. Only with a double portion of Spirit given by God can you save the age of disasters and create masterpieces that will save the world. When you carry the background of the heavenly throne and enjoy the mystery of prayer that transcends time and space wherever you go, God will give you the answer of the light to save the 237 nations of the world. The most valuable spiritual masterpiece is to raise disciples in order to enjoy the Gospel and relay the Gospel together.

Dear God, help me to focus wholeheartedly on You. During that time, lead me to find what You’ve given. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

* What Is the Difference between Being “Empty” and “Filled”?

Someone asked a person who was well-known for practicing transcendental meditation, “What and where do you focus when meditating?” He answered, “If you focus on something, you won’t be able to meditate.”
He meant that maintaining a dazed state without any thoughts was the key to meditation. Transcendental meditation directed toward an empty state of nothingness will eventually lead to a spiritual state of emptying and purging. It’s often the case that deep-level transcendental meditation leads to being possessed by a spirit. It’s clear that this is now the age to read the strategies of the forces of darkness to save many people who have fallen into the allure of transcendental meditation.

“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”Matthew 12:43~45
