The battles of our lives are fought and won in the river of His love.
It's supernatural, because we can't do it on our own.
Let the Lord love you today.
Give Him all your burdens. Give Him all your cares. Give your entire life to Him and place yourself in His mighty hands.
One wonderful way to do that is to abandon yourself to Him in His prescence.
Open your mouth and begin to sing to Him. Cry to Him. Express yourself to Him. Pour out you heart to Him.
And then let the River of His prescence flow as you worship Him in the Spirit.
Here's an extract from some wonderful material on spontaneous worship I
found from http://www.justworship.com/praisepoints/spontaneousworship.pdf:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ephesians 5:18-20
Be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
We are told to be filled with the Spirit and to let the word of Christ dwell richly, to sing and speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Psalms and hymns are known melodies and words. Spiritual songs are spontaneous, Spirit breathed songs, sung and led by the Holy Spirit in the moment. They are new songs previously unknown and unsung. Do we need this kind of song in our private and corporate worship today?
A search for the keyword 'new song' on net.bible.org reveals 9 verses (Ps. 33:3, 40:3, 96:1,
98:1, 144:9, 149:1; Isa. 42:10; Rev. 5:9, 14:3).

God want us to live a life that is supernatural -- we are born of the Spirit after all aren't we?
It's a life where we have interuptions, intrusions and invasions of the Holy Spirit from the spiritual realm into the natural realm daily.
When that happens, we experience the supernatural realm of the Holy Spirit.
And living in the supernatural isn't as far fetched as you think.
When you pray in the Spirit -- that's supernatural.
When you flow in inspired utterence as you worship Him and pray in tongues --that's supernatural.
I have been uplifted over these last few weeks by the supernatural intrusions of the Holy Spirit in my life.
Yesterday's word from the Lord is one example.
The first two lines in this blog are another. They are actually part of two spontaneous songs I felt inspired to sing as I was worshipping the Lord on two seperate occasions. And it has a taught something I didn't know and reminded me of something I have known. It is the simple gift of prophecy.
So begin to fan the flame of the Spirit in you heart and don't let the enemy of your soul silence you.
Lift up your voice and praise the Lord, both in the Spirit, and with understanding.
Begin to live in the supernatural as you begin to hear the Lord sing and speak through you!
