As in every relationship there is listening and talking, silence and reflection and it is the same here as we enter into a dialogue with Christ through His Word.

God’s Word Changes Us From The Inside Out

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

You can study about Scripture, you can learn about theology, historical and cultural references and even ancient languages but it is only the interaction of the Word of God itself in our hearts and minds that brings deep, lasting, eternal change in us.

Lectio Divina is a spiritual discipline that causes us to slow down and hear God speak through His Word.

It is not a mystical, magical process but a deliberate communication with our God through His method of speaking to us – His Word. It is our acknowledgement that we believe that the Word IS alive and will change us.

So, we come to the word of God so that it will judge our hearts and minds and by it we will be conformed and transformed as we renew our minds to the truth of the Word.

Lectio Divina (pronounced “lexio”), or “divine reading” is a way of interacting with the text of Scripture and with Christ in a conversational and transformational way.

It is a very old spiritual discipline and is actually a method of prayer that leads us into a deeper meaning of the Word as well as transforms our lives.
