SELF TALK

The Gospel is provided to us by God to create heart transformation [READ Hebrews 4:12].  That happens through inward dialogue, where you speak directly and forcefully to your own heart rather than just listening to it [READ Joshua 1:8].  Reading the Bible is a meditation where your mind is filled (rather than emptied, which is the traditional relaxation technique of meditation) with truth to be used in both memory and thought to guide your heart and set it on fire [READ 1 Timothy 4:13-15].  It is dwelling on and meditating in and on His Word so that our mind is filled (to the brim) with His truth to be used in both external and internal dialogue in all you think, do, and say [READ John 15:4].
