What is Christian Sojourning?

Before going through the steps I want to note that this practice is solely meant for Christians to greater realize the glory of God; it isn't how to become a Christian and it certainly isn't for those who have no desire to know the Christ that so many people from all parts of our world have come to know.

These steps are meant for those people who have Born Again and who are bearing evidence of true conversion.

With that said, you may be asking "what is Christian sojourning?" Christian sojourning involves these five things: 

1.) A right worship: You must have the mind to go out to a place (idly alone--except from God) and you must go out to this place for the glory of God. You're journey and meditation must be with His honor in mind--it must be in Christ, by Him, through Him and for Him. 

2.) A proper spot: You must choose a location away from people, where you can spend the day meditating, worshiping and praying to God through Christ. 

3.) Proper dedication: Ideally you would spend the day in your chosen place; you would set out a few minutes before dawn and head back home shortly after sunset. There are obvious problems for sisters in the faith who are in a greater threat of rape and physical abuse in the early and late hours. However, it is highly encouraged that you make a real effort to spend the entire day in meditation, worship and prayer. 

4.) Proper preparations: Bringing things such as sunscreen, bug spray (both of which are highly recommended) as well as water if you think you'll need it. I would encourage you to fast from sunrise to sunset. 

5.) Proper wisdom: Knowing your area and how safe it crucial. But spending time away from people and in a real sense with God will change your life--not because of your location, your sun screen or bug spray but because of the glorious Presence of God which can be felt and God Who can be known in the deepest core of your being. 

Remembering that your relationship with God is possible because of what Christ did. If you lose sight of this--you're communion with God will cease in a way that is "feel-able" in the most real and the most deep sense.
