And what I especially like about 'meditation' in light of interest in Spirituality, is meditation gives us a chance to experience the pure essence of Spirit. So, instead of just thinking about it, and pondering and contemplating... We go to that place, deep in side where spirit dwells... Experiencing that, then, gives us intimate knowledge and wisdom about IT! I just wanted to ‘add’ that I’ve had an equally profound experience meditating..

We go to that place, deep in side where spirit dwells…

Experiencing that, then, gives us intimate knowledge and wisdom about IT!

While these cannot be destroyed, they can, unfortunately, be perverted. Both pillars have at their foundation ACTION. Prayer is the CONTEMPLATION OF ACTION while Gospel is the CONSUMMATION OF ACTION. It is clear that any sane mind contemplates prior to consummating. This is what separates men from animals. Wise men act out of contemplation, fools and animals out of instinct. Always remember this adage: PRAYER PRECEDES PERFORMANCE ! ! ! The close link between Prayer and Gospel and their correct order is depicted on the pages of our website. Be reminded every time you log on. Prayer must go to all nations prior to the Gospel going to all nations. That is why our initial goal is to build towards 1,000,000 Prayer Partners to pray for the nations. Jesus quoted Isaiah, the prophet, ". . . my house will be called a house of prayer for ALL NATIONS" (Isa.56:7). Similarly, referring to a time of the end Jesus said: "This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to ALL NATIONS, and then the end will come" (Mt.24:14). It is our inspired belief that NEITHER TRUE PRAYER NOR TRUE GOSPEL HAS YET GONE TO THE NATIONS. That is why the church is so weak ! ! ! That is why there is so much sickness and pain ! ! ! That is why Christ has not returned in power ! ! ! In our dissertation on Prayer Misunderstood leading to an understanding of True and Complete Prayer, it was made clear that we frequently participate in "praying amiss". With that in mind, make no mistake about it: IF WE PRAY AMISS, WE ARE CERTAIN TO PERFORM AMISS. If we contemplate a lie, we will consummate a lie. So, let's proceed to get a true understanding of GOSPEL. ( Note: If you have not studied our work on prayer, it would be advisable to do so at this point, prior to proceeding ). GOSPEL is the translation of the Greek word "evangelion" (ev or eu meaning "good" and angelion meaning "message"). Sometimes evangelion is translated "Good News". There is no discernable reason why one or the other translation is used but, regardless, if you read either gospel or good news they are the same thing. We should first correct a common misunderstanding. THE GOSPEL IS NOT THE BIBLE ! ! ! . . . The Bible CONTAINS the Gospel but it is not synonymous with it. Having corrected this error, let us move on to a fuller appreciation of the Gospel.
