Everyday no exceptions!

If you had a choice between eating a meal and spending time in prayer and the Word what would you choose? If you thought or said the Word or prayer repent because you are lying! I'm just kidding maybe you really feel that way, but most people do not and that is natural. When faced with TV, food, internet, talking on the phone and every other thing there is to do most people choose these things over spending time in prayer and the Word.

This is the natural choices many people make, but if you want to walk in the supernatural seeing God use you to change your world you've got to make supernatural choices. That choice is everyday no exceptions I will spend time in prayer and the Word. All of us can carve out 15 to 20 minutes a day to spend time in prayer and the Word, the choice is ours.

The bible tells us that Job treasured the Word of God more than the food he ate everyday. He made a supernatural choice and as a result he saw supernatural blessing and increase. The Word tells us that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of God's mouth! (Matthew 4:4) In order to walk in the supernatural we've got to live off of the words from God's mouth.

Our natural tendency is to allow life to distract us from God's presence and the Word. In order to walk in the supernatural we've got to make the hard choices. Everyday no exceptions is a hard choice that will cost us some natural things, but in the end the harvest of the supernatural will far out weigh anything we give up.

This summer I've chosen to fast TV for our 93 days of devotion. This elimination of a natural thing has allowed me the time to add the supernatural. With this void I've been able to read the Word and spend hours more in prayer and my life has never been better.

I want you to consider giving up something natural to make room for the supernatural. Make the choice today when it comes to spending time in the word and prayer, everyday no exceptions!
