Famous Benjamin W. Decker Quotes

“Through us, the Spirit moves through the Earth, and an important part of the journey of individual spiritual development is learning to create a sacred place with our faith and reverence.”

“Taking just five minutes to calm the mind, relax the body, observe our thoughts, and listen to the Holy Spirit pierces the veil between the spiritual and physical worlds.”

“Throughout our lives, we will often face situations that can be confusing or disturbing. We will also confront tough decisions that can shake our faith. How can we know if our challenges are there to help us grow or if they are signals that we need to make critical changes in our lives? We need the discernment of the Spirit.”

“Through the cultivation of the fruit of the Spirit within our hearts, we begin to experience deeper gifts, including a gift of discernment that provides personal insight and revelation.”

“Set yourself up for success by preparing a sacred space to set the tone for your practice, and it's helpful to establish some level of consistency. For some, that means taking time during their commute to meditate and journal. For others, that means sitting on the back porch early in the morning or meditating for a few minutes on the couch. Still others will have a sacred corner with an altar, including an image of Christ, a few candles, and a place to store your journal.”

“The greatest priority when it comes to prayer and meditation is that we open our hearts as a temple to Christ and welcome the Spirit from within.”

“Regardless of your exact posture, the goal is to be focused on the meditation itself, not allowing any discomfort or distractions to pull your mental attention away from your focus on listening to the Holy Spirit's voice.”
