Meditation is supposed to be good for you and should have a positive effect on society. የተሻለ ትኩረት, ትኩረት, improving memory and emotional processing, ውስጣዊህን 'ራስህን' ማግኘት, ውስጣዊ ሰላም, መገለጥ, ፈውስ, ደስታ, reducing anxiety, ውጥረት, ፍርሃት, እና የመንፈስ ጭንቀት. These are just some of the wonderful promises that persuade people, ክርስቲያኖችን ጨምሮ, to meditate. They think meditation is beneficial and has a positive impact on their lives, especially transcendental meditation. They don’t consider the negative side effects of meditation. But is meditation good for you or is meditation dangerous and a gateway to evil, ጭንቀት, እና አደጋ? Should Christians practice meditation or is meditation a sin? What is the spiritual danger of meditation that many people are not aware of?
The influence of meditation in Western society
ለአፍታ ያህል, withdraw yourself from your busy life, empty your mind, unwind, and relax, to experience inner peace. It sounds so good and promising. And even (ሕክምና) science substantiates the claims of the benefits of meditation and promotes meditation. በዚህ ምክንያት, meditation has become part of Western society.
Many schools, ኩባንያዎች, (መንግሥታዊ) ኤጀንሲዎች, የጤና እንክብካቤ ተቋማት, እና (ስፖርት) clubs implemented meditation, without knowing the danger of meditation.
The Eastern spirit blows over the West, and very subtly and slowly the Easter spirit takes possession of the West.
Even churches and Christians, who supposed to be spiritual and know the spiritual danger of meditation, succumbed to the meditation hype. Due to this deceptive wandering spirit and the lack of spiritual knowledge, ብዙአብያተ ክርስቲያናት መናፍስታዊ ሆነዋል through the lives of carnal Christians.
Many Christians have been seduced by these Eastern religions and philosophies and their occult practices, ማሰላሰልን ጨምሮ. They apply meditation techniques thinking that meditation is beneficial and don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation. They meditate to find their inner ‘self’ and inner peace. ግን ይህ መጽሐፍ ቅዱሳዊ ነው።?
Should Christians meditate or is meditation a sin? What does the Bible say about meditation and the danger of meditation? To answer these questions, let us first look at the practice and history of meditation.
ማሰላሰል ምንድን ነው?
Meditation is a method that uses natural techniques to connect with your inner ‘self’; ነፍስህ. በማሰላሰል, you gain insights into yourself, strengthen yourself, እና ውስጣዊ ሰላምን ይለማመዱ.
በአተነፋፈስዎ ላይ ማሰላሰል ይችላሉ, የተወሰነ ሀሳብ, ቃል(ኤስ), ማንትራ(ኤስ), ነገር, ሰው(ኤስ), እንቅስቃሴ, ወዘተ.
ማሰላሰል የቡዲስት እምነት ወደ መገለጥ መንገድ አካል ነው። (መነቃቃት); የኒርቫና ሁኔታ እና ራስን መቻል
የሜዲቴሽን መነሻው ምንድን ነው??
ማሰላሰል, በተለይም የ Transcendental Meditation (which is most practiced in Western society), መነሻው በሂንዱይዝም እና በቡድሂዝም ነው።. As you might know, Buddhism originated from Hinduism.
The oldest sacred texts that mention meditation are the Vedas. What does Vedas mean? Vedas means knowledge and originates from ancient India.
What are Vedas? Vedas are the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. From the Vedas, the practice of meditation evolved. በዘመናት ሁሉ, many forms of meditation have developed.
Mediation originates from Hinduism and has influenced many cultures and religions. These different cultures and religions created different forms of meditation. ቢሆንም, the spiritual roots of the practice of meditation are in Hinduism.
What are the types of meditation?
There are many types of meditation. A list of types of meditation is:
- Transcendental meditation (ማንትራስ ይጠቀማል)
- Body scan meditation
- Breathing meditation
- Contemplation
- Dance meditation
- ሜታ ማሰላሰል (ትኩረትን ማሰላሰል)
- Mindfulness ማሰላሰል
- Reiki ማሰላሰል
- እሱ ማሰላሰል አይችልም (ትኩረትን ማሰላሰል)
- ረጋ ያለ ማሰላሰል (የማስተዋል ማሰላሰል)
- Vipassana ማሰላሰል (የማስተዋል ማሰላሰል)
- የዜን ማሰላሰል
የማሰላሰል መንፈሳዊ አደጋ ምንድነው??
ብዙ ሰዎች, ክርስቲያኖችን ጨምሮ, are not aware of the spiritual danger of meditation. They think they can separate the religious and spiritual aspects and origin from Eastern religions and philosophies and its practices. ግን ያ የማይቻል ነው! Since the religions, ፍልስፍናዎች, እና ልምዶች ከመንፈሳዊው የተገኙ ናቸው. (እንዲሁም አንብብ: መንፈሳዊውን ከምስራቃዊ ፍልስፍናዎች እና ልምዶች መለየት ትችላለህ??).
ስታሰላስል, you use Eastern methods that originated from pagan religions and philosophies. These Eastern meditation methods are created, የዳበረ, እና ከመናፍስት መመሪያዎች ወይም አካላት ጋር በመስራት ተመስጦ. These spirit guides or entities are in reality evil spirits (አጋንንት).
When you enter the spiritual realm out of the flesh (ነፍስ እና አካል), and from your soul search for connections in the spiritual realm, you enter the territory of the devil (darkness) and open yourself to evil spirits that enter your life.
When you meditate and apply meditation technics, you apply technics, which originally derived from evil spirits.
By practicing meditation methods, you submit to evil spirits. Because you believe that when you practice these meditation techniques you find and get, what you look for and want and what is promised.
You follow the words and techniques of people, who opened themselves to evil spirits. People who channeled with evil spirits and were inspired by these evil spirits.
By submitting to these evil spirits and have communion with them, you allow them into your life. You give control to them over your soul and body. ከዚያን ጊዜ ጀምሮ, evil spirits will enter your life.
These evil spirits control and guide you through your senses, ሀሳቦች, ስሜቶች, ስሜቶች, ያደርጋል, እና አካል.
What are the negative side effects of meditation?
በመጀመሪያ, you feel great and peaceful and experience pleasant feelings. Maybe you experienced depression, ጭንቀት, worry, or stress, and by meditating, these negative and destructive feelings disappeared. At that moment you don’t see any danger of meditation, በተቃራኒው, you experience good things.
ግን ይህ ጊዜያዊ ብቻ ይሆናል. ምክንያቱም እርኩሳን መናፍስት እውነቱን አይናገሩም, but they lie. Evil spirits never give something for free. They always want something in return.
They gave you (temporary) peace in exchange for your soul. Since you listened to them and believed and obeyed them by practicing meditation and bowing down to them.
These evil spirits operate from your soul and start their destructive work in your life.
Who do you believe God or the devil?
ሰላምን እተውላችኋለሁ, ሰላሜን እሰጣችኋለሁ: ዓለም እንደሚሰጥ አይደለም።, እሰጣችኋለሁ. ልባችሁ አይታወክ, አትፍራ (ዮሐንስ 14:27)
መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ (የእግዚአብሔር ቃል) ይላል።, ‘ሰላምን እተውላችኋለሁ, ሰላሜን እሰጣችኋለሁ”. But instead of believing the words of God, Christians believe the words of evil spirits, which are spoken through the mouths of people, who denied God, እና ይበሉ, “If you want to experience rest and peace in your life, then you have to bow down for me and follow these techniques and methods and I give you rest and peace.”
ነገር ግን ዲያብሎስን ሰምታችሁ ብትታዘዙት ብትሰግዱለትም።, የገባውን ቃል በፍጹም አታገኝም።. Because the devil is a liar.
The devil wants to be the god of people. He wants the people to worship him and exhalt him. የዲያብሎስና የክፉ መናፍስት ዓላማ የጨለማውን መንግሥት በምድር ላይ መግለጥ ነው።. He can only do this through the lives of people. Therefore they try to control as many people as possible. They darken their minds, so that they don’t see the danger of meditation and fall into the trap of the devil.
The more people believe their lies, the more people bow down to them, submit to them, and give control to them. በዚህ መንገድ, they gain more power and the darkness increases on earth. (እንዲሁም አንብብ: The power of the devil is powered by sin).
Demonic spirits are eager to give what carnal people desire, need, and ask for. As long as people yield to them and stay in the kingdom of darkness.
What is the carnal result of meditation?
ሌባ አይመጣም።, ለመስረቅ እንጂ, እና ለመግደል, እና ለማጥፋት: እኔ የመጣሁት ሕይወት እንዲሆንላቸው ነው።, እና በብዛት እንዲኖራቸው (ዮሐንስ 10:10).
The purpose of the devil and evil spirits is to steal, መግደል, and destroy. አንደኛ, the devil will give you what you asked and searched for. But this is only temporary and will change soon.
Your feelings of happiness and peace shall change. Because you were not spiritually awake and watched and didn’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, you shall experience the carnal result of meditation aka the negative side effects of meditation. You shall feel weird and (extremely) tired and maybe experience headaches. ንፁህ ያልሆነ (ወሲባዊ) ስሜቶች ወደ አእምሮህ ገብተው ያስጨንቁሃል.
የማተኮር ችግር ሊያጋጥምዎት ይችላል።, የእንቅልፍ ችግሮች (እንቅልፍ ማጣት), ጭንቀት. You may experience changes in your behavior, like mood swings, ትዕግስት ማጣት, ከቁጥጥር ውጪ የሆነ ቁጣ, ወይም የቃል ብጥብጥ እና/ወይም የአመጽ ባህሪን የሚያስከትል ድንገተኛ ቁጣ (የቤት ውስጥ በደል).
Maybe you start hearing voices in your head, dictating to you what to do.
በማሰላሰል, የጾታዊ ርኩሰት እርኩሳን መናፍስት, ዝሙት, ምንዝር, ፍቺ, የጣዖት አምልኮ, ሱስ, and violence, (የአእምሮ እና የአካል ህመም) enter and control your mind and manifest in your life.
ብዙ ሰዎች, who have engaged in meditation and entered the occult realm from their soul, became victims of the devil and suffer from mental illness.
What is the Danger of transcendental meditation?
ብዙ ሰዎች አሉ።, who practiced transcendental meditation and became anxious, distressed, or depressed after (ተሻጋሪ) ማሰላሰል.
Many people suffer from severe mental health issues, ሱሶች, and/or have become violent towards themselves and others. They struggle with intrusive thoughts, ተስፋ አስቆራጭ ሀሳቦች, የሽብር ጥቃቶች, ጭንቀት, ፍርሃቶች, ራስን የማጥፋት ሀሳቦች, or end up in psychosis.
Instead of finding themselves and finding peace and happiness through transcendental meditation, they found the opposite. They became worse than they were before practicing transcendental meditation
ክርስቲያናዊ ማሰላሰል አለ??
ክርስቲያናዊ ማሰላሰል አለ?? Of course not! Although there are so-called Christians, who say they practice Christian meditation or a derivative of meditation, like a (ማሰላሰል) ከፀሎት ዶቃዎች ጋር ጸሎት, የሚያሰላስል ጸሎት, ጸሎትን ማእከል ያደረገ, ሌክቲዮ ዲቪና (መጽሐፍ ቅዱስን በማሰላሰል ማንበብ), የክርስቲያን አካል ይቃኛል, የክርስቲያን ዝምታ ወደ ኋላ ይመለሳል. እውነታው ግን ነው።, ክርስቲያን ማሰላሰል የሚባል ነገር የለም።.
እንግዳ ነገር አይደለም, that the Bible exist for ages and suddenly in the last 20 years all kinds of strange doctrines and methods, which are copied from Eastern religions, ፍልስፍናዎች, እና new-age cults, appear and are taught and applied in churches?
If meditation were a Biblical principle and practiced, why isn’t it mentioned in the Bible and included in the Law? Wouldn’t God’s people practiced it for ages? የትኛው አይደለም. ቢያንስ, when you read the Bible in the whole and right context. Instead of picking and choosing a word or a part of a sentence, change it and build your doctrine upon it.
Are contemplative prayer, ጸሎትን ማእከል ያደረገ, and lectio divina Biblical?
የማሰላሰል ጸሎት, ጸሎትን ማእከል ያደረገ, and Lectio Divina are just some of the many occult practices that the catholic church has practiced for ages. ቢሆንም, we must remember, that the catholic church went astray and adopted occult practices from pagan religions, ፍልስፍናዎች, እና ባህሎች, in the very early stage of Christianity. Why did the catholic church adopt paganism? The catholic church adopted paganism to attract unbelievers to the church.
The church compromised. ከዚህ የተነሳ, ቤተ ክርስቲያን የካቶሊክ ቤተ ክርስቲያን ሆነች።; በጣዖት አምልኮ የተሞላ አመንዝራ እና ዓለም አቀፋዊ ቤተ ክርስቲያን, አስማታዊ የአምልኮ ሥርዓቶች እና ልምዶች, እና ወሲባዊ ርኩሰት.
The devil succeeded then in seducing the church. And the devil still succeeds in seducing the church with the same subtle techniques.
Because not only the catholic church, but almost all denominations succumbed and are defiled and influenced by the powers of darkness and became occult churches. They didn’t see the spiritual danger of meditation and all other pagan doctrines and rituals. (እንዲሁም አንብብ: አስማት ቤተ ክርስቲያን).
Nowhere in the New Testament, do we read about Christian meditation, as practiced today. ኢየሱስ እንዳሰላሰለ አናነብም።. ቢሆንም, some false teachers contradict this. They say that Jesus meditated. But that’s a lie from the pit of hell.
ኢየሱስ አሰላስሎ ይሆን??
Jesus didn’t meditate but Jesus prayed. ኢየሱስ ከአባቱ ጋር በጸሎት ብዙ ጊዜ አሳልፏል. He didn’t use carnal methods and techniques to empty His mind, seek His Father, become one with His Father, and have a mystical experience in His flesh (ስሜቶች እና ስሜቶች), and experience His love or connect Himself to His inner ‘Self’.
ኢየሱስ ማን እንደሆነ ያውቅ ነበር።. He lived in union with the Father through the Spirit. ኢየሱስ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ መሆኑን አውቆ የአባቱን ፈቃድ እና ፍቅር ያውቃል. If Jesus meditated to feel the oneness with God and experience the love of His Father in His flesh, Jesus would have walked after the flesh and led by the flesh. ኢየሱስ ግን በእምነት ተመላለሰ እንደ መንፈስ እንጂ እንደ ሥጋ አይደለም።.
We also don’t read anything about Jesus commanding His disciples to meditate.
Jesus never instructed His disciples to apply carnal techniques and methods to ‘get there’ or for ‘self-salvation’.
We also don’t read that the disciples meditated and practiced meditation methods. The disciples prayed, ይህም ፈጽሞ የተለየ ነው!
ደቀ መዛሙርቱ አሮጌው ፍጥረት ሲሆኑ, ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ እንዴት መጸለይ እንዳለባቸው እንዲያስተምራቸው ጠየቁት።. Jesus taught them how to pray.
In the prayer of Jesus, the will of God and His Kingdom are the center and not (ኑዛዜ) people and not people’s earthly kingdom.
When the disciples became the new creation, እንዴት መጸለይ እንዳለባቸው የሚያስተምራቸው ማንም አያስፈልጋቸውም።. Because their spirit was raised from the dead. And the Holy Spirit, በእነርሱ ውስጥ ያደረባቸው, taught them and directed them in their prayers. If they didn’t know what to pray, the Holy Spirit helped in their infirmities (ሮማውያን 8:26=27)
Jesus and His disciples prayed
ኢየሱስና ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ወደ አብ ጸለዩ. But they didn’t use all kinds of carnal techniques and methods to ‘become more spiritual’, experience carnal warm and fuzzy feelings of love or unity, or receive (ቁሳቁስ) ለራሳቸው በረከት. They died to ‘self’; they died to the will, ምኞት, and desires of the flesh. ስለዚህ, their prayers focused on the will of God and establishing and enlarging the Kingdom of God on earth.
But because many Christians are not born again and are not spiritual but carnal and still belong to the generation of fallen man and the world, they are subject to the spirits of this world and don’t see the danger of meditation.
They live under the dominion of worldly spirits (elements of this world). These worldly spirits cause Christians to adopt and apply the carnal knowledge, ጥበብ, ሃይማኖቶች, ፍልስፍናዎች, ቴክኒኮች, ዘዴዎች, and practices of the world into their lives.
How Christians have christianized meditation?
To justify meditation and make meditation approved in the church, በእግዚአብሔር ላይ የጥፋተኝነት ስሜት ሳይሰማህ, carnal Christians have poured out a pious Christian sauce over the practice of meditation by putting the word ‘Christian’ in front of meditation. በዚህ መንገድ, they can join the world instead of being excluded.
ስለዚህም ክርስቲያናዊ ማሰላሰል እና ብዙ ክርስቲያን ነን የሚሉ ሰዎች መጡ, የቤተ ክርስቲያን ሊቃውንትና መሪዎችን ጨምሮ, practice meditation.
Many Christians don’t have time to pray and read and study the Bible in the whole and right context (ይህ ማለት ሌክቲዮ ዲቪና ማለት አይደለም). ለምን? Because they are too busy with their daily lives, (ማህበራዊ) media, (ማህበራዊ) እንቅስቃሴዎች, እና መዝናኛ.
ቢሆንም, they do have time to meditate. And if they don’t, they make time to meditate and empty their minds and focus and search for their inner self and oneness with God and have a mystical experience with God and feel God’s presence and His feelings of love for them.
ሥጋ ለእግዚአብሔር ፈቃድ መገዛት እና መጸለይን አይፈልግም. But the flesh wants to meditate. This proves the flesh still reigns and the ‘self’ is still alive and sits on the throne of someone’s life.
A carnal church rejects sanctification and embraces sin
Many churches reject repentance, sanctification and the removal of sin. በዚህ ምክንያት, the people don’t change but stay carnal and persevere in sin and allow and approve of sin in the church.
They reject the በውኃ ውስጥ መጠመቅ and with the Holy Spirit. They also reject speaking in tongues, which is a commandment of Jesus Christ in the Bible. But the churches allow occult Eastern practices that derive from the carnal mind of people, who were influenced by demonic spirits, and they bow down to the god of this world.
This proves the churches are carnal. Therefore they don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation or any other occult practice. And because they don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, they practice meditation.
The people want short sermons and church services. So that people have more time to fellowship. But meditating in a lotus or combined prayer position on a mat on the cold floor in the church for an hour is not a problem.
መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ስለ ማሰላሰል ምን ይላል??
meditation in the Old Testament
There is no Biblical meditation. ‘ማሰላሰል’ የሚለው ቃል, in the Old Testament of the Bible, refers to the remembrance of God’s laws, His words that represent His will, and what God had done. So that His people knew the will of God and His acts forever.
By meditating on the laws and words of God, God’s law would be in the minds of His people. Since the mind determines every word and deed, the people of God would live according to the will of God and would honor and exalt Him through their obedience to His law; የእሱ ፈቃድ.
The meditation in the Bible didn’t refer to connections in the spiritual realm, searching the will of God, and experiencing and feeling God’s presence and oneness with God. Since God had made His will known to His people by giving the law. But the meditation in the Old Testament referred to getting to know God and the will of God by meditating on the law of God.
“ይህ የሕግ መጽሐፍ ከአፍህ አይለይ”
አንተ ብቻ በርታ በጣም አይዞህ, ሕጉንም ሁሉ ታደርግ ዘንድ ጠብቅ, ባሪያዬ ሙሴ ያዘዘህን: ከእርሱ ወደ ቀኝ ወይም ወደ ግራ አትዙር, በምትሄድበት ሁሉ እንዲከናወንልህ. ይህ የሕግ መጽሐፍ ከአፍህ አይለይም።; አንተ ግን አለብህ ማሰላሰል በውስጧ ቀንና ሌሊት, በእርሱ የተጻፈውን ሁሉ ታደርግ ዘንድ ተጠንቀቅ: የዚያን ጊዜ መንገድህን ታቀናለህና።, ከዚያም መልካም ስኬት ይኖርሃል (ኢያሱ 1:7-8)
ለምሳሌ, ኢያሱ ሌሊትና ቀን በእግዚአብሔር ሕግ ላይ ማሰላሰል ነበረበት. ለምን? ስለዚህ የእግዚአብሔር ሕግ, የእግዚአብሔርን ፈቃድ የሚገልጥ, be known by Joshua, የእግዚአብሔርን ሕዝብ መምራት ነበረበት.
እንደ እግዚአብሔር ሕዝብ መሪ, ኢያሱ የእግዚአብሔርን ፈቃድ ማወቅ ነበረበት, and obey and keep the will of God in everything he did. So that Joshua and God’s people would walk according to the will of God and God would be with him (እና ህዝቡ) and bless him and make his ways prosperous.
David meditated on the Law of God
ዳዊት ቀኑን ሙሉ በእግዚአብሔር ሕግ ላይ ያሰላስላል. ይህ ማለት አይደለም, that David sat on a mat in a lotus position facing the East the whole day and meditated in silence. አይ, it meant that God’s will was written in David’s mind. David was delighted to live according to God’s will. David hoped that the meditations of his heart, upon which the law of God was written, እርሱን ደስ አሰኙት።. (ኦ. መዝሙራት 5:1-2; 19:14; 49:3; 104:34-35;119:97-104).
ህዝቡ ብቻ ቢሆን, ወደ ቤተ ክርስቲያን የሚሄዱ, read and study the Bible, renew their minds with the Word of God, በእግዚአብሔርም ፈቃድ ላይ አሰላስል።, as in the Old Testament, they would know the will of God. And if they love God, their lives will be according to the will of God. (እንዲሁም አንብብ: እግዚአብሔርን በፍጹም ልብህ ትወዳለህን??).
Then they would fear the Lord and love God with all their heart, አእምሮ, ነፍስ, እና ጥንካሬ. They’d see the spiritual danger of meditation.
They would stay faithful to God, instead of committing idolatry by following false religions and philosophies, adopting their techniques, ዘዴዎች, የአምልኮ ሥርዓቶች, objects and serving false gods, and practicing sexual uncleanness.
They’d love their neighbor as themselves and wouldn’t commit fornication or adultery and divorce their spouse but stay loyal to their vow. አይሰርቁም ነበር።.
The children wouldn’t rebel against their parents, ነገር ግን ወላጆቻቸውን ያክብሩ እና ያከብሯቸው.
“ሕግህን እንዴት ወደድሁ! ቀኑን ሙሉ ማሰላሰሌ ነው።”
አይገድሉም ነበር።, but let others live (ሕፃናትን ጨምሮ). ከእንግዲህ አይዋሹም።, ነገር ግን እውነትን ተናገር የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስንም ወንጌል ስበክ አታፍርም።. And they would be satisfied and no longer covet the possessions of their neighbors.
But the people don’t do that.
Joshua and David belonged to the generation of the old creation (ትወድቃለህ) and not the new man, who has been restored and made whole in Christ. ስለዚህ, let’s look at what is written in the New Testament about meditation.
meditation in the New Testament
ግን ከእነዚህ ሁሉ በፊት, እጃቸውን በላያችሁ ይጭናሉ።, እናሳድዳችሁ, ወደ ምኵራብ አሳልፎ እሰጣችኋለሁ, እና ወደ እስር ቤቶች, ስለ ስሜም ወደ ነገሥታትና ወደ ገዥዎች ይቀርባሉ. ለምስክርነትም ይመለሳል. በልቦቻችሁም ውስጥ አኑሩት, አይደለም ማሰላሰል ከምትመልሱት በፊት: አፍና ጥበብ እሰጣችኋለሁና።, ጠላቶቻችሁ ሁሉ ሊቃወሙትና ሊቃወሙትም የማይችሉትን ነው። (ሉቃ 21:12-15)
ኢየሱስ ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ, that if the people persecuted them, put them into prison, and brought them before kings and rulers, they wouldn’t have to meditate before what they would answer, ኢየሱስ አፍና ጥበብን ስለሚሰጣቸው.
ማሰላሰል የሚለው ቃል’ ከምስራቃዊ ማሰላሰል ጋር አልተዛመደም።, which is practiced today
እስክመጣ ድረስ, ለንባብ መከታተል, ለመምከር, ወደ ዶክትሪን. በአንተ ያለውን ስጦታ ቸል አትበል, በትንቢት የተሰጠህ, የፕሬስቢቶሪ እጆችን በመጫን. አሰላስል። በእነዚህ ነገሮች ላይ; ራስህን ሙሉ በሙሉ ለእነሱ ስጥ; ጥቅምህ ለሁሉ ይታይ ዘንድ. ለራስህ ተጠንቀቅ, እና ወደ ትምህርቱ; በእነሱ ውስጥ ይቀጥሉ: ይህን ብታደርግ ራስህን ታድናለህና።, የሚሰሙህንም። (1 ጢሞቴዎስ 4:13-16)
Paul commanded Timothy to stay faithful to the sound gospel of Jesus Christ. He urged Timothy to give attendance to reading, ማሳሰቢያ, and doctrine. Paul commanded Timothy to take heed to himself and meditate on all that was taught and give himself to it.
እንደገና, the word ‘meditate’ didn’t refer to the Eastern practice of meditation. This meditation had nothing to do with the natural well-being and consciousness of people, but the will of Jesus and the will of the Father and keeping the gospel of Jesus sound.
“ይህ የእግዚአብሔር ፈቃድ ነውና።, ቅድስናህ እንኳን”
ምክንያቱም ሁሉም ነገር በእግዚአብሔር ፈቃድ ላይ ነው. በብሉይ ኪዳን, it was all about following the Law of God that represented the will of God. የ Law of Moses was a teacher for God’s people that set them apart from the pagan nations and warned them and protected and kept them from the pagan knowledge, ጥበብ, ሃይማኖት, ፍልስፍናዎች, ልምዶች, እና የአምልኮ ሥርዓቶች. ምክንያቱም እግዚአብሔር የተቀደሰ ሕዝብ ይፈልጋል, who separated themselves from the pagan nations who were evil and served the devil.
God wanted His people to be devoted to Him and know የእሱ ሀሳቦች እና የእርሱ ፈቃድ.
God wanted His people to walk in His will and His ways and please Him, instead of committing the same abominations as the evil pagan nations practiced, እግዚአብሔርን የማያውቁ ሌሎች አማልክትን ያገለገሉ እንጂ (ዲያብሎስ እና አጋንንት).
እና በአዲስ ኪዳን, it’s about faith in Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him (lay down the sinful flesh of the ሽማግሌ እና አዲሱን ሰው ልበሱት, የፈጠረውን ምሳሌ በመከተል በእውቀት የሚታደስ ነው።. (ቆላስይስ 3:10)).
ከዓለም መለየት ማለት ነው። (የዓለም ስርዓት). Following the Word of God, and walking after the Spirit in the will of God.
The law of God is written in the mind and upon the heart of the new man (አዲስ ፍጥረት), through the baptism with the Holy Spirit And because the law is written in the mind and upon the heart of the new man, the new man walks after the will of God and pleases God.
This shall cause conflicts and persecution in the world. Since the new man no longer belongs to the world, ወደ መንግሥተ ሰማያት እንጂ.
Meditation in the Bible referred to the will of God
If you have become a new creation, you want to please God. And if you please God, you displease the world and bear the consequences of your new life in Christ. If you are not able to bear the consequences of your new life in Christ, and want to please the world, ከዚያም እግዚአብሔርን ታሳዝናለህ.
በመጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ውስጥ ያለው ማሰላሰል የእግዚአብሔርን ፈቃድ እውቀት ያመለክታል, through His words in the Bible. It refers to doing the will of God and meant to please God instead of man.
How do you search for your inner self?
በማሰላሰል ውስጥ, ትኩረቱ "ራስ" ላይ ነው. You are the center. If you meditate to search for your inner ‘self’ and to experience peace and rest or you search for a mystical experience with God or a spiritual deepening, እንግዲያውስ እውነትን ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስን ገና አላገኛችሁም እና ዳግመኛ አልተወለድክም።.
ምክንያቱም, through regeneration, የአሮጌው ሰው ሥጋ, ‘ራስን’ ጨምሮ በክርስቶስ ተሰቅሏል።. ስለዚህ, how can you search for your inner self? How can you make a connection with your inner ‘self’ if your ‘self’ has died in Christ and no longer lives?
ማሰላሰል ከጸሎት ጋር አንድ አይነት ነው።?
ማሰላሰል ከጸሎት ጋር አንድ አይነት ነው።? አይ, ማሰላሰል ከጸሎት ጋር አንድ አይነት አይደለም።. እና ጊዜው ደርሷል, ያንን ሰዎች, who say they are Christians and claim to be born again and know God, stop with all this junk, repent of their sinful practices, and become aware of the spiritual danger of meditation.
Meditation focuses on ‘self’. It focuses on the enrichment of ‘self’, the improvement of your ‘self’, and the redemption of ‘self’, with the ultimate goal of reaching the state of enlightenment; ኒርቫና
Meditation is part of the eight-fold path in Buddhism and focuses on the ‘self’. All the techniques and methods are for self-redemption. ሰውን የበለጠ ሰላማዊ እና አፍቃሪ ከማድረግ ይልቅ, ሰውን የበለጠ ራስ ወዳድ ያደርገዋል.
Prayer focus not on ‘self’. But prayer focuses on Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. You are reconciled with God the Father and have access to the Father, through Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him. ስለዚህ, you may pray directly to the Father. እንዴት ያለ መታደል ነው።!
You don’t have to follow all kinds of prayer techniques and methods to get there. Because through regeneration in Christ, ቀድሞውኑ እዚያ ነዎት.
Why the devil wants Christians to stop praying and start meditating?
Prayer is communion with the Father through Jesus Christ. Prayer is a spiritual weapon in the spiritual war. Besides the Word, prayer is extremely important in the spiritual battle between the Kingdom of God and the darkness.
The devil knows the importance of prayer. Therefore he has one goal and that is to make fervent prayers lukewarm and eliminate them. The devil seduces everyone in the flesh (ነፍስ እና አካል) because that is his territory.
As long as Christians stay carnal and walk after the flesh, their carnal mind will not discern the spirits, and not see the danger of meditation and fall into his trap. They shall believe his lies, submit to him, and pray less, or even stop praying and forsake prayer meetings. And because many don’t see the spiritual danger of meditation, they start meditating.
ማሰላሰል በጥቃቱ ላይ አይደለም ነገር ግን ይበረታታል።.
እንደገና, ሰዎች ወደ እግዚአብሔር ለመጸለይ በቤተክርስቲያን ውስጥ መስገድ እና መንበርከክ አይፈልጉም።. But for Christian meditation, they are eager to roll out their mat and bow down and take their position and focus on ‘self’ and use Christian mantras (ክርስቲያናዊ ቃላት, እንደ እግዚአብሔር, የሱስ, ማራናታ, ወዘተ.) ለመዝናናት እና አስደሳች ስሜቶችን ለመለማመድ, which they think originate from God, በእውነታው ሳለ, እነዚህ ስሜቶች የሚመነጩት ከዚህ ዓለም አምላክ ነው።; ሰይጣን.
Many Christians are misled and tempted by the new age spirit that revolves around ‘self’
የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ቤተክርስቲያን ምስቅልቅል ነው።, due to the spiritual havoc the የአዲስ ዘመን መንፈስ caused. ብዙ አብያተ ክርስቲያናት መንፈስ ቅዱስን ጥለውታል።, ሕያው ቃል; ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ, and even God the Father. The people have replaced the place of God in the church.
The focus is no longer on Jesus Christ and doing His will (the will of the Father) and pleasing Jesus Christ and the Father. But the focus is on ‘self’ and supernatural experiences, ስሜቶች, ምልክቶች, and wonders and pleasing ‘self’.
Most Christians love their carnal lives. They want to keep their lives and are not willing to lay down their own lives in Christ.
በዚህ ምክንያት, they use all kinds of carnal techniques, ዘዴዎች, and natural means to tap into the spiritual realm and experience supernatural manifestations, ስሜቶች, እና ስሜቶች በስጋቸው.
By applying occult techniques and methods, they try to become one with God and feel Him. Instead of taking the Bible and getting to know the will of God and submit to Him and do His will in their lives.
በዚህ ባህሪ ምክንያት, many Christians are led astray. Many Christians move into the occult and allow evil spirits to inspire them. They communicate with these wicked spirits of darkness that pretend to be Jesus, መንፈስ ቅዱስ, and even God the Father.
እነሱ መንፈሳዊ እንደሆኑ አድርገው ያስባሉ እና እግዚአብሔርን ያስደስታቸዋል, በእውነታው ሳለ, የሚወዱት አምላክ ዲያብሎስ ብቻ ነው።.
What are the signs of Christians moving into the occult?
How do you know when Christians move in the occult? Some visible signs that Christians move into the occult are tiredness, እንቅልፍ ማጣት, mental disorders, ቁጣ, and especially sexual uncleanness.
As the Church of Jesus Christ, you should stay within the framework of the Bible and reject every strange doctrine or heresy, that originates from carnal wisdom, እውቀት, አስተያየት, ግኝቶች, ስሜቶች, እና ልምዶች, ከእግዚአብሔር ቃል ያፈነገጠ.
ቤተክርስቲያን መንፈሶችን መሞከር አለባት
የተወደዳችሁ, መንፈስን ሁሉ አትመኑ, ነገር ግን መናፍስት ከእግዚአብሔር ሆነው እንደ ሆነ ፈትኑ: ምክንያቱም ብዙ ሐሰተኛ ነቢያት ወደ ዓለም ወጥተዋልና። (1 ዮሐንስ 4:1)
ይላል ቃሉ, መናፍስት ከእግዚአብሔር ሆነው እንደ ሆነ መሞከር አለብን. Many people possess a spirit that pretends to be Jesus or the Holy Spirit, while in reality is an evil spirit that belongs to the kingdom of darkness. This evil spirit lies and keeps the person in bondage and ensures the person stays carnal, keeps doing the works of the flesh, and perseveres in sin.
እና ብዙ አብያተ ክርስቲያናት መናፍስትን ይፈቅዳሉ, ኃጢአትን የሚቀበሉ እና የሚያበረታቱ, deny God the Creator of heaven and earth, and adopt pagan religions, ፍልስፍናዎች, የአምልኮ ሥርዓቶች, ቴክኒኮች, እና ዘዴዎችን እና አማኞችን እንዲሳሳቱ እና እንዲሞቁ እና ለእግዚአብሔር እና ለመንግሥቱ ተገዢ እንዲሆኑ አድርጓቸው.
The Church should preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ again
ግን ጊዜው ደርሷል የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ እውነተኛ ወንጌል, መስቀሉ, ደሙ, ንስሐ መግባት, and sanctification will be preached again.
It’s time that the flesh of the old man dies. That the spirit of the new man rises from the dead and puts off the works of the old man. ስለዚህ, a real revival takes place and the Church becomes awake and alive
It’s time that believers take their Bible. Fill and renew their minds with the Word of God. So that they get to know the will of God, እንደ እግዚአብሔር ፈቃድ ኑሩ, and be witnesses of Jesus Christ on earth. Instead of emptying their minds, turn off their minds through meditation and become a channel of evil spirits.
It’s time that Christians wake up and see the spiritual danger of meditation and remove the practice of meditation from their lives.
ፈሪሃ አምላክ የሌላቸውን ለመጋፈጥ ጊዜው አሁን ነው።, ኃጢአተኞች, with their evil works and make the danger of meditation and other occult practices known to them and call them to repentance. Instead of compromising and condone their sins and joining them and glorifying the devil and the unclean spirits of the kingdom of darkness.
Therefore repent of your sins. Remove these occult practices of new age and Eastern religions from your life. Be redeemed through Christ and become a new creation in Christ and enter His rest (ዕብራውያን 4).
Read and study the Bible. Renew your mind with the words of God. ስለዚህ, you get to know Jesus and the Father and their will and serve God. Instead of listening to the voice of your carnal will, ስሜቶች, ስሜቶች, ምኞት, እና ፍላጎቶች. And through your flesh serve the devil and the poor worldly spirit and live in bondage in darkness.
Is meditation a sin?
You can meditate on religious words, parts of the Scriptures, እግዚአብሔር, የሱስ, ወይም መንፈስ ቅዱስ. But that doesn’t make any difference to the heathen practice of meditation, which you practice, and your participation in the spiritual realm with evil spirits.
You can think what you want and make yourself believe that there is no danger of meditation. You can manipulate your thoughts and feelings, but that doesn’t change the truth and the danger of meditation or make the practice of meditation right.
Is meditation a sin? Meditation is a pagan method that derives from Hinduism, which is an abomination to God. It shall always remain an abomination to God. Therefore meditation is a sin, despite the opinions of people.
እረፍት እና ሰላም ትፈልጋለህ?
እንደ እኔ, እናንተ ደካሞች ሸክማችሁ የከበደ ሁሉ, እኔም ዕረፍት እሰጣችኋለሁ. ቀንበሬን በላያችሁ ተሸከሙ, እና ከእኔ ተማሩ; እኔ የዋህ በልቤም ትሑት ነኝና።: ለነፍሳችሁም ዕረፍት ታገኛላችሁ. ቀንበሬ ቀላል ነውና።, ሸክሜም ቀላል ነው። (ማቴዎስ 11:28-30)
Meditation doesn’t give you and everlasting rest and peace. Meditation is not the way to redemption. It is not the way to salvation. አንድ ሰው ብቻ ነው።, who can give you everlasting rest and peace and save you and that is Jesus Christ, የሕያው እግዚአብሔር ልጅ!
Jesus Christ took all your sins and iniquities upon Him and died on the cross and entered Hades (ሲኦል). ከሶስት ቀናት በኋላ, Jesus rose from the dead as Victor with the keys of hell and death.
Jesus gave everyone the opportunity to be redeemed from the sinful nature of the old man (ትወድቃለህ) and become a new man through faith and regeneration in Him and be reconciled with God. (እንዲሁም አንብብ: የመስቀል ትክክለኛ ትርጉም ምንድን ነው??)
How to repent of meditation?
If are a Christian and you were not aware of the danger of meditation and practiced meditation and you experience demonic influences in your life (personal life, marriage, family life), then all you have to do is ask forgiveness and repent of your sins and renounce your sins and command every evil spirit to leave your life in the Name of Jesus.
If you are not Christian, but you believe that Jesus died on the cross for you and is risen from the death and brought salvation, so that you could be delivered from the power of the devil and darkness, then all you have to do is turn to Christ and ask Him to come into your life. Repent of your sins and your old life as a sinner and become born again in Christ through the death of the flesh and the resurrection of your spirit from the dead (ጥምቀት) and be reconciled with God by the blood of Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit.
How can you experience the peace of God in your life?
I you are a born-again Christians, then you don’t have to look for peace. You don’t have to apply all kinds of carnal techniques, ዘዴዎች, and use natural means to get what you want, as in pagan religions and philosophies. ምክንያቱም በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ እምነት እና ዳግም መወለድ እና በደሙ, ቀድሞውኑ እዚያ ነዎት (በክርስቶስ የተመለሰው ቦታ).
If you are born again you have the peace of God, ሁሉንም ማስተዋል የሚያልፍ, inside of you. ምክንያቱም Kingdom of God, በአንተ ውስጥ ያለው, ጽድቅ ነው።, ሰላም, and joy through the Holy Ghost.
በህይወትዎ ውስጥ ሰላም ከሌለዎት, you haven’t found the Truth yet. እውነትን ካላገኛችሁ, እውነትን ለመፈለግ ጊዜው አሁን ነው። (እንዲሁም አንብብ: እውነትን ካገኛችሁት።, ለምን አሁንም ትፈልጋለህ?).
