G90X

"Get absolutely ripped in just 90 days..." That sounds pretty cool. P90X is a program that, well, gets you ripped in 90 days! This 90 day program is made to help the weak of this world become strong. I've heard that it actually works really well. But I don't want to tell you about P90X. I want to tell you about G90X.

Greg Stier(who I got this from) has a Christian blog. In his blog he talked about starting a workout called G90X. Like P90X, G90X is 90 days long and very intense. But G90X is not your typical workout program. I'd like to share his 90 day workout plan with you. If you would like to read his blog, here is the link.

There are four things you need to do in this program. First, read the Bible. The goal is to read the entire Bible in 90 days. Second is to spend 90 minutes of concentrated prayer per week. Third, Memorize 90 verses. Fourth, is to attack any sin in your life. As you have probably guessed, this isn't a program that will lose you some pounds(unless you don't have time to eat.)

Read the Bible in 90 days. This is about 15 or 16 chapters a day. Greg Stier recommends using a program called "The Bible in 90 Days." Here is the link for this as well. Bible in 90 Days Reading through the Bible in this short period of time will help you in many ways. Just to note a couple. You will have a lot of knowledge about the Bible. You will also be in the Bible A LOT. It will take a little while to read 16 chapters. Especially if you want to get what God is trying to say to you.

"...and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." 2 Timothy 3:15

Pray for 90 minutes each week. This is about thirteen minutes a day. We should all be able to find thirteen minutes for prayer each day. Just make sure you are praying the whole thirteen minutes. If you are having trouble staying awake or staying focused. I would encourage you to go for a walk and pray while you walk. This way you also get some physical exercise while also talking to God. There is a lot of power in prayer. Lets use what God has given us.

"The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." James 5:16b

Memorize 90 verses. Most of you are thinking that this is the hardest part of the program. Greg Stier reminds people that "...Jewish boys in Jesus’ day had the first five books of the Bible memorized by the time they were 14..." Those 90 verses just got a whole lot easier. I will try memorizing a verse from what I read each day.

"Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You." Psalms 119:11

Attack sin. If you are going to do this program, you are probably wanting to grow in your relationship with God. That will only work if you are obeying God and doing His will. One part of His will is that you won't sin. Figure out what sins are in your life and attack them. Let the Holy Spirit take control of your life and get rid of any sin that you may have.

"Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin..."" John 8:34

I encourage everyone to do this for the next 90 days. I will be starting this Sunday(May 30th) and get done around the last week in August. So if you are up for the challenge, join me in this crazy awesome experience. It will take a lot of time, but will be totally worth it. If you don't think that you can do everything, at least try doing part of it. Maybe reading the New Testament or memorizing just 9 verses. So comment if you would like to join me in doing this and I will make a group on facebook where we can encourage each other.

“…train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come” 1 Timothy 4:7,8.
