--- Quote ---I was reading through Ray's Lake of Fire series, and saw that he mentioned meditation. I was just wondering exactly what he means by meditate on something. Does he mean to actually meditate.....or Pray. I always thought that Meditating was just a new age movement thing.

i'm pretty sure meditating on a verse here means to think on it a lot.

from all different angles

looking at all related scriptures

thinking again

spending time in an attitude of hunger and thirst for the hidden things of God

not assuming that you already understand a verse or series of verses but thinking in the presence of God and praying as you do that God will speak the fullness  

often as you meditate deeply and often on a verse(s) God will have mercy and open a really deep spiritual meaning or revelation that may have been hidden to the one doing the "meditating"

this is really the opposite of eastern meditation

eastern meditation is like emptying the mind whereas meditating on a verse is like filling your mind and really devoting everything you have to hear what God might have to say.

that sort of thing

Meditation is an important aspect of the Christian life; it is a necessary and valuable tool.  It was said by Falconn003, meditation is a great time to listen and receive from God.  Also Meditation is a time to gain understanding and insight into God’s Word.  Here are some scriptures I pulled off of E-Sword, I used KJV because a lot of people have one.  It is not the only version that uses the word meditate either.
Jos 1:8 KJV
Psa 1:2 KJV
Psa 63:6 KJV
1Ti 4:15 KJV
