Draw Near with a True Heart
Description
“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” Hebrews 10:2
As we draw near to God, as we practice our meditations with our eyes closed, we train our minds and hearts so that one day we can dream with our eyes open. This is so powerful, because as we master this ability, we discipline our souls to live, move and have our being in this space of unification and connectedness with that pure light of Christ within us. Then we are able to dream with our eyes open, to move through our lives with the full practice of the presence of God, no matter what is happening. We don't have to close our eyes anymore to feel the peace and presence of God.
You can do this, you can practice the presence of God, no matter what is happening around you. It's a discipline and it's a practice.
There was a monk named Brother Lawrence back in the middle ages whose writings were collected into a book that is so powerful on this subject. You probably heard me talk about this book. It's called Practicing the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence. And he talks a lot about how to stay in that connected place. The thing is that in this practice you don't have to go somewhere to be on the mountain top. You don't have to go somewhere because those mountains, those places of worship and spirit and sacredness, like where the transfiguration happened with Jesus, they become your moment-to-moment experience. You remember he took the two disciples with him, John and Peter. Moments like the transfiguration weren’t really different for him. It was a real eye opener for the disciples, but for Jesus it was Tuesday. Right. So the beautiful thing is that as you're moving through this process, you can carry that mountaintop experience with you by practicing the presence of God. That is another level, layer of living a life full of the light of Christ. And that is just so exciting.
That’s what our soul attunement calls are all about. Because part of the way that we allow the living water of Christ to move through us and within us and outward in such a powerful way is to do this soul attunement practice. For me, it's an essential practice. It’s just wonderful.
So I have a verse for us today that I think will fit in well with what we've been talking about. It is Hebrews 10:22 , “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”
As I was meditating on this today, as I was praying on it, I got hung up for a while on that word sprinkled. I don't think about sprinkling as, you know, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, but then I figured out it's like, when you fling water on something and you cleanse it. Your heart is cleansed from an evil conscience, that evil which would take our hearts away from Christ. And so it's speaking to that, bringing that purity.
Again, Hebrews 10:22 , Let us draw near with a true heart…draw near to God…with a truth, with a true heart in full assurance of faith.
When I think about that full assurance of faith, that is a whole soul experience. It's not just something in your head. It's not just something in your heart or in your body…it's a whole soul experience. And so with that in mind, let us begin.

In this podcast, we use sound, focused intention, and guided meditation to restore our souls. It is a guided meditation to invite your soul to rest in the peace, joy and love that is our adopted birthright as followers of Christ. We are all confronted with a world that, at times, makes us feel weary. That weariness denies the truth and freedom of God’s plan for us. Thus, we need to rest and be restored to live in the fullness of His divine love.
That is what we seek to achieve through our meditation. We balance the energy of our souls, inviting peace, joy and a deep love for God, self, and all mankind. We use a combination of Scripture, science, neuropsychology, and holistic healing that have been proven effective through experimentation over the last thirty years. Some of our meditation may seem unfamiliar to you at first, but trust the process and you will be amazed by the peace, happiness, and restoration you experience.
