I regularly go on walks around my neighborhood. As I walk, I pray and talk with God. I tell Him everything I am thinking and what is on my heart. At these times the Lord usually reminds me of one of His names.
Sometimes while praying I share how weak I am in a certain area, and then I declare, "Lord You are my...(righteousness, healer, provider, etc.—fill in the blank). Meditating on God Himself has been a large part of my prayer life.
"In the Old Testament the word testimony comes from the word, "do again.' The implication is that God wants to repeat His wonderful works when we speak of what He has done. In the New Testament we have a confirmation of the principle in Revelation 19: 10 "...the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. This means that when we bring a testimony of the works of God to remembrance, we are actually prophesying that He can do it again now, because "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb. 13:8).

Meditating on and remembering the works of God are major keys to seeing them repeated. King David understood this well. That is why when
he was in a period of suffering he would meditate on God's past works. This not only encouraged David, but it also prophesied into the atmosphere that God could do it again.
"And I said, "This is my anguish; but I will remember the years of the hand of the Most High." I will remember the works of the Lord, surely remember your wonders of old. I will also meditate on all your work of Your deeds" (Psalms 77:10-12).
"). Psalm 145:5 KJV
I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
It is incredibly important to carry the works of God with you.
It is incredibly important to carry the works of God with you. Some of favorite conversations are the ones where I can tell a new friend stories ofwhq I have seen God at work. For example, when I recount to a new person of how a lemon-sized tumor disappeared under my hand as I prayed, the reinvigorates my spirit with life. It stirs the Spirit of God within me. Whenl speak into the atmosphere of something God has done, the atmosphere becom$ charged for God to do that same work again, and the faith level rises. Carryingtht in testimonies of what Jesus has done brings life to dead Christianity. I have that non-Christians perk up and become interested when I tell the stories I have seen God do. Legalism and quoting Scripture without love has world off toward us, but people listen eagerly if we are sharing the stories works of God.
THE IMAGINATION Is THE
MEDITATION ORGAN OF YOUR SPIRIT
"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints"(Ephesians I : 18).
If Paul is going to tell the Ephesians that he is praying for them, don't you think he would choose his words carefully? This shows the value that Paul put on receiving enlightenment for the spiritual eyes. The eyes of the heart refer
to the human imagination. Clearly this was understood as important in the first century, whereas in the modern Church the imagination has been made a low priority
