I was listening to Joyce Meyer online the other day and there was one thing that she said that really hit close to home. She said that before she would always struggle to make time for God in her day, to place spending time with Him somewhere in her busy schedule. Then one day the Lord told her, "It is vital for you to spend time with me." And He also showed to her that without this time the devil will destroy her.

There were so many times in my life when the entire day would be hectic, when I would deliberately choose not to spend any time with Him in the morning because I favored to eat breakfast and watch T.V instead. You might not believe me, but I’ve recounted and analytically examined those days on purpose. I analysed how the day was and how my heart was feeling when I would spend time with Him, and the days when I wouldn’t and what would happen in them.
The days were very different for sure, they were almost like day and night. When I would get that fuel from Him in the morning, or at least the night before I felt like my mind was in the right place. Heh, it was like I could think straight you know? Yeah, I’m sure that there are people who always have their minds on straight, who have taught themselves character, how to have a right one, and who are naturally diligent, but I’m sure not one of them. My character isn’t completely trained yet, even though I am doing much better than how I used to be. That’s why I need Him to keep me straight. That’s why He is my fuel.
So how does it work? Well I just come to Him, rest my mind and stop thinking so much for a while, and just focus on Him. I think about Him and wander on the thought that He may very well be in my room by now, since He did say that with those who call upon His name he is close to (psalm 145:18)
Suddenly as i stand/lay/sit/walk there where I’m at to meet Him, certain thoughts enter my head as though out of nowhere. You know you can always tell when "supernatural" thoughts come to you, because you know what you are capable of thinking by yourself because of what you know or remember. You know what I mean by that? There are certain things that inter our minds which we know we could have never by ourselves thought of. They’re just too smart for us! And they are sometimes about matters that we haven’t even sought the answers for. Christians call this the "rhema word," while original ancestral Indians have called it spiritual visions, which I forgot the correct term of. Sometimes people call it intuition, or natural animal instincts, or even simply our "hearts talking." But what’s the difference between our hearts thinking and talking to us or our heads, isn’t it in reality all just from our heads? But I know where all those fascinating thoughts and ideas come from. I studied them. I’m serious! Every time I come into contact with my Lord and stay there in His presence these thoughts come into my head, and I also always get confirmation for them with the memory of some scripture that I read or some sermon that I heard some years ago. That’s the confirmation that you get to know that it really did come from God. You know that God would never tell you to do something immoral because God is not immoral, he created justice did he not?
You know what is generally right and wrong, so testing those thoughts to your own moral system is good. So what’s the point of all this? The awesome thing about it is that God speaks to us when we seek Him, and that He’s always there for those who are not even looking for Him (through "intuition") to save them. Consider all the stories you heard from people who had those near-death experiences but who reported suddenly having this "wild idea" or information of some sort which they never thought of before that ended up saving their lives. God does speak to us, apparently, to all of us, the important thing is if we’ll listen or not, if we’ll pay attention to what exactly He is trying to show us, every day.
