Transcript

Welcome to End the Flow Meditation,

A safe place to breathe.

My name is Regina Queen and I will be guiding you in a biblical meditation practice regarding overcoming fear.

So let's begin by welcoming the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.

We can do nothing without Him.

Take a deep breath in the name of the Father,

In the name of the Son,

And in the name of the Holy Spirit,

One God.

We invite you into our hearts,

Into our minds,

Into this atmosphere,

Into this time,

Into this space.

Come to us like rain.

Invade us with your peace,

For you are the Prince of Peace.

We love you,

We adore you,

We honor you,

We magnify you.

We thank you for who you are.

Now fear,

Fear causes us to worry and it is disguised in anger,

Depression,

And even anxiety.

Jesus instructs us not to worry.

He instructs us to pray with confidence knowing that God already knows exactly what we need.

So quick disclaimer,

Sadness is real,

But misery for the most part is a choice.

Now I'm not a clinician and of course if you or someone you know has a diagnosis that warrants prescription medication for fear,

Anxiety,

Or depression,

By all means follow the advice of the medical professional.

This spiritual practice of meditation can be used in addition to whatever medication regimen anyone may be using without any harmful side effects.

So most things that we worry about,

They don't even happen.

We keep rehearsing terrible scenarios in our mind.

And let's be honest,

There is so much tragedy and pain in this world.

But even though we mourn for the devastation in our world and even in our lives,

Jesus promised that we would be comforted and that we would be able to receive restoration,

The restoration that he brings no matter what we may face.

So the key,

The key to remember is that when we are faced with fear,

Worry,

Anxiety,

Or doubt,

We must remember that fear is not real.

Yes,

Fear is not real.

Now I'm sure,

I'm sure that you've heard this acronym for fear.

It says false,

Evidence,

Appearing,

Real.

Now fear is natural,

It's normal,

It's understandable,

But it is not what God instructs us to do.

It's not how he instructs us to respond.

God repeatedly,

Repeatedly tells us in his word,

Fear not.

Now this is not an admonition to beat yourself up.

It is an encouragement to know that we can be delivered from all of our fears.

Psalm 34,

Four says,

I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all of my fears.

So fear is not real.

It is a product of our thoughts that we create.

Danger,

Now danger is real,

But fear is a choice.

Yes,

That's true.

Fear is not real.

It is a product of the thoughts that we create.

Danger is real,

But fear is a choice.

God promised to protect us from danger,

Seen and unseen.

You can use your God given imagination,

Your vision and focused attention with the power of the word of God to shift the atmosphere in your mind,

To shift the atmosphere in your heart and supernaturally shift the atmosphere of the situation or circumstance that causes you to worry or become fearful.

You can commission the angels to be on assignment to provide protection in the spirit,

In the spirit realm.

You can choose to worry and paint a disastrous picture or a disastrous scenario in your mind or hallelujah.

You can choose to rest supernaturally in the spirit,

Trusting that God is going to fix it.

Be still,

Be still and know that I am God.

Being still and sitting in silence,

Meditating on God's promises,

It takes us into that place.

It takes us into that place to hear the supernatural instructions of the Holy Spirit,

Which can and usually will be different from what your carnal or natural mind tells you to do.

Now rehearse and visualize the positive things that can potentially happen.

We must retrain our minds to expect the best outcome.

Yes,

I'm going to say that again.

We have to retrain our minds to expect the best outcome.

Now,

Does this guarantee the best outcome or exactly what we expect?

Not necessarily,

But what it does,

What it does do is cultivate the atmosphere of faith,

Which produces miracles and keeps us out of that place of fear,

Which only produces destruction and involves stress,

Restlessness,

Anxiety,

And unproductive pain.

Now you may not admit this,

But have you ever thought to yourself that nothing good ever happens to you or have you compared your life with someone else's that appears to be happy all the time?

Have you ever experienced a misfortune and thought to yourself,

Hmm,

I knew something bad was going to happen or said to yourself,

Why me?

Have you considered instead of responding?

Why me?

Why so much pain?

Perhaps we can ask the question,

What lessons,

What lessons can we learn from this pain?

What lessons can I learn from this pain?

How can I become better,

Stronger,

More compassionate due to this struggle with fear,

Worry,

Or fear?

When we overcome,

We become walking billboards for ourselves and for others to prove that the enemy cannot defeat us.

Thanks be to God,

Who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus.

So what are some of the struggles you have with fear?

Once taken evaluation,

It's important to identify them so that they can effectively be destroyed.

So maybe your struggle is with a teenager,

Issues of rebellion or not knowing how to reach them as they attempt to manage their hormonal challenges and peer pressures as they start developing more independence and going places and doing things that you're unaware of.

Maybe you've been hurt in a marital or romantic relationship in the past and you have fear trusting again.

Maybe your struggle is fear of financial insufficiency,

Never being in a comfortable place monetarily where you're always worrying about the next check or how you'll make arrangements to pay different bills or monthly obligations.

Maybe your work environment is toxic with disgruntled coworkers or management that seem to deplete you of your joy.

You fear that there's no growth opportunities for advancement or escape.

You feel stuck.

Maybe you have flawed relationships with your family or your friends and your relationships are in need of restoration and you don't even know where to begin to process that repair.

Maybe you have a family member that's confused by their sexual identity and you have fears about their lifestyle choices and their safety.

Perhaps you have children that are in unsafe environments and you feel helpless or without control over the people they're surrounded by,

Be they step parents,

Siblings or neighbors or cellmates if they're incarcerated or corrupt companions,

Whatever it is.

Specifically,

Identify it,

Bring it to mind so that we can annihilate it with the word of God.

Take a deep breath.

Your foundational thought is I choose to live in peace.

God is in control.

Let's meditate together.

I choose to live in peace.

God is in control.

So find a comfortable position sitting in a chair or with your feet touching the ground.

If you're retiring for the evening,

Feel free to lay flat on your back,

Whatever position you find comfortable.

But just stay with me at least for the first five minutes and then after that you can just allow the meditation to enter into your subconscious.

So close your eyes.

Make sure that your back is straight.

Proper posture is important as we breathe.

Extend your arms into the air or allow your hands to just rest comfortably on your lap with your palms facing upward.

You can even stand if you'd like to stay completely awake during this time.

Whenever you're distracted by noises or physical sensations in your body or restlessness,

Gently bring your attention back to your breath and our foundational thought,

I choose to live in peace.

God is in control.

Now let's breathe together.

Inhale deeply and exhale completely.

Inhale through your nose and exhale completely through your mouth.

Continue to breathe peacefully,

Inviting a slow and peaceful breathing rhythm.

As you continue to breathe,

Inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.

As you inhale,

Allow your belly to expand like a balloon where you're receiving the life of God,

The breath of God.

Inhale his peace.

Slowly,

Can even count to five.

As you exhale,

Allow your abdomen to contract completely to the count of five.

As you exhale,

Visualize yourself releasing that fear,

Releasing that pain,

Releasing the anxiety or worry.

Just breathe peacefully.

And as you breathe,

Surrender to the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit come right here right now with the supernatural power and presence of God.

Holy Spirit heal your beautiful daughters.

The Holy Spirit is here and he is present to deliver you from the destructive power of fear.

You are healed and made whole as you continue to breathe slowly and deeply allowing the oxygen.

To saturate your body and your mind and your brain,

Visualize the breath going into all the areas of your body where you house pain or discomfort.

It could be in your heart,

It could be in your womb,

It can be in your back,

Your arms.

Locate the pain right now because it's probably associated with the things that you fear as you continue to breathe.

Visualize that breath,

That air going into those places and feel your breath penetrating and infusing that area with new life.

You are allowing the breath of God to cleanse and heal you of fear.

Now we have the option of using our energy to focus on the negative aspects of the realities that we face or we can enter the supernatural realm of the Spirit with contemplative prayer where we speak and see our situations from God's perspective.

Where we focus on His promises as we visualize in our mind His plan,

His will,

His purpose coming to pass.

Where we use that fearful energy that is wrapped in anxiety and despair and we cause it to evolve.

It evolves into a powerful force of faith.

We can go into that secret place by ourselves and we can rest in the silence and allow the promises of God to echo,

To echo quietly in our hearts.

In the stillness and in the silence we are preparing ourselves like ninja warriors to defeat the enemy quietly as we go within our inner sanctuary.

It can be difficult,

Yes,

To change the voices in our hearts and our thought patterns in our minds but it's not impossible.

Continue to breathe.

It's not impossible especially when you set an intention and decide to renew your mind with the thoughts and visions God places within you and treat God's power.

Continue to breathe.

I'd like you to visualize yourself walking in a beautiful sacred area.

This area can be in a church,

It can be near a beautiful beach or a place inside yourself where you meet with God your inner sanctuary.

As you're walking see yourself removing your shoes for this is holy ground.

Continue to breathe deeply.

Just as Moses encountered God in the burning bush,

You,

You are removing your shoes which represents the removal of stressful attachments to the world.

See yourself standing,

Standing in the presence of God with your feet firmly planted in this holy atmosphere.

Visualize yourself being empowered as your feet are being energized and illuminated with the light and power of God.

Continue to breathe and your eyes remain closed.

Watch your feet light up in the spirit.

See the white light begin to travel from your feet up to your legs.

See the white light travel from your legs to your thighs continuing up through your body,

Through your torso,

Traveling throughout your neck,

Your head and through your arms.

See your entire body illuminated with the power of God as if you were just struck by a lightning bolt in the Holy Spirit.

Struck by a lightning bolt of Holy Spirit anointing.

Your entire body is now illuminated.

You keep your eyes closed and continue to breathe as you feel that you are empowered to face anything without fear.

See how powerful you are with the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

This illumination has come into your body,

To your mind,

To your spirit and forced out all thoughts,

Feelings and attachments to fear that you acknowledged earlier.

You are set free.

You are set free from fear and as you have allowed the Holy Spirit anointing power of God to invade your life,

You have no room,

No room for fear to live there anymore.

No,

You are filled up and fear cannot live there anymore as you continue to watch your body and your mind,

Your heart and all the places that you carry.

That fear is now pushed out here,

The Word of God.

Continue to breathe comfortably.

I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34,

4.

Silently say to yourself as you continue to see yourself in this powerful state,

Knowing that you are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus and that God has delivered you from your fears,

Silently say to yourself,

I choose to live in peace.

God is in control.

Now as you keep that visual in your mind,

See your confidence,

See your security,

See your boldness,

See your courage.

Be anxious for nothing.

Not some things or most things,

But in everything with prayer and supplications,

Let your requests be made known to God,

Let the peace of God guard your heart and your mind silently.

Say to yourself,

I choose to live in peace.

God is in control.

Jeremiah 29,

11.

The Lord tells us,

He says,

I know the plans that I have for you.

I have plans to give you hope,

To give you a future,

Not to harm you or to cause you to be afraid.

Because God is with you,

There is no need to fear.

Silently say to yourself,

I choose to live in peace.

God is in control.

Jesus healed all those oppressed by the devil.

He was made manifest to destroy the works of the devil.

And the oppression of fear is now broken in the name of Jesus off of your life.

Silently say to yourself,

I choose to live in peace.

God is in control.

Continue to breathe.

I choose to live in peace.

God is in control.

Arise,

Shine,

For the light has come.

The glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

The glory of the Lord cancels fear.

Thanks be to God,

Who always causes you to triumph,

And you are triumphant over fear.

Go in peace.

Walk in peace.

Live in peace.

Rest in this space and place.

Allow his peace to saturate your heart and your mind,

Your body.

Whenever a fearful thought attempts to enter into your mind,

Say to yourself silently or aloud,

I choose to live in peace.

God is in control.

That concludes our meditation.

Sit in silence for a few more moments if you can.

I choose to live in peace.

God is in control.

God is in control.

Arise,

Shine,

For the light has come.

The glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

The glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

Arise,

Shine,

For the light has come.

The glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
