Are we really that busy ?

Are we really that busy ?

In talking to people, I realized that many complained that they don't have enough time to do things. Some say that they have so much to do, some find other excuses, and some are just lazy. But most of the people I've met always tell me how busy they are. Okay - but with what ?

So are we really that busy? Or maybe we do things that we are not supposed to be doing. Yes, there's such a thing in this world as doing good things, but not right things. So I want to talk about prioritizing your life, because what you do today has an effect on your tomorrow.

Ok firstly, we all have an equal amount of time. Everyone gets the same 24 hours a day. Rich, poor, famous, or just regular people - everyone gets the same amount of time. But not everyone spends it the same way.

How do you spend your time? The way you spend your time will determine what you are going to have in your future.

So let me give you few steps on how to spend your time wisely and not waste it on unnecessary things.

1. Prioritize.

What is the most important in your life?

For me personally I try to follow this order.

1. God and His will.

2. My personal development.

3. Family.

4. Work/Ministry

5. Friends

2. Get rid of the things that steal your time: Long phone conversations, Internet, Going shopping just to go, Friends that just waste your time, TV, Sleep (more that 7-8 hours) and many more, but you get the point.

3. Learn how to say no to people.

4. Follow your plan and do only what's important throughout the day. Do the most important things first.

If you do not know where is your time going, just make a journal of everything you do every day. Write down every hour and then at the end of the week see where you spent your time.

Remember, you have 24 hours everyday, and that should be enough to sleep, eat, spend time with the family, work, time for God, and friends. If you do not have enough time, maybe you're doing things that are not important and just taking your time away from your life.

Be careful what you spend your time on, because this determines where you are going to be in your future.

So are we really that busy or do we just not know how to manage our day and our life.?

God bless.

No food for 71 days and still alive.......

Hello, I want to share with everyone about my 71 day fast that I just finished this Monday.

I write this not to boast, but to encourage someone. I never thought I would be able to do it myself, but thank God I did it. God is awesome.

This is how it all started - I'm a pastor of a small church that we started 3 years ago, and I saw a need in our church so I decided to stand up for it. The need was that we as a church needed to get closer to God, but it always starts from the leadership. If the leadership is not walking close with God, it will have an effect on the whole church. So I decided to start getting closer to God. (I had been doing it, but I realized that we needed more)

So that's how I decided to take a 40 day fast. (no food at all just drinks.)

Was it hard? In the beginning it was a bit hard at some moments. Some days were easy, but the main key to staying strong during a fast is PRAYER, the WORD of GOD, and of course your mindset. Some days I had lots of pressure, after 25 days I couldn't feel my body, and after 30 days I started to feel great. I felt clean and I had energy throughout the day, though at night I did get tired faster. But I was surprised with how much energy I had.

During this fast I realized How much more I need God. I realized that food became an idol to us in America. We love food more than we love God, and that's why we cant fast and spend time with God.

After some time into fasting, all I wanted was more of God. My focus became only on Him and not on myself and not on church. I need Him, but the only way i can get Him is if I truly start loving Him with everything.

On day 29 We had a church prayer and I asked God if I should do more than 40 days. I asked God if I should go 71 days, and God said yes if I wanted to receive more.

Fasting is not a matter of salvation, its a matter of you walking in the power of God by denying your flesh and allowing the Spirit to take over your daily life.

God told us to fast in the Bible. God also showed us many examples of others that did it and why they did it. (I will get more into that in my next blog.)

What did I get out of this fast?

I got wayyyyy more than I asked for :)

1. I got closer to God.

2. More self Control over my flesh.

3. I feel more authority over my life and that authority only comes from God.

4. People in the church started to seek God more and took time to fast. Some did between 5 to 21 days.

5. I noticed how my own parents started to treat me more like a pastor and not like their child.

6. We closed on our house after 40 days (and I knew before that we would because God told me so )

7. And one of the most important points is that I started to hear God more clearly and started to be led by His Holy Spirit more and more - during preaching, talking or when it comes to personal decisions.

This was truly the best experience I've had in my life. I loved every moment of it, even though some days were reallllly hard. But the end result was great. I made a decision to eat more healthy and to be a great example in every area of my life.

I thank God for everything. It's all because of HIM, because GOD IS REAL.

Part 2 coming soon. I will show you from the Bible why fasting should be done on a regular basis.

Thank you for your time and if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment.

God bless you all.

Power of the Word of God.....

Word.

Power Of the Word......

- God created everything by speaking His word.... We can create or destroy with our word.... what do we speak ?

- God created the World by speaking.

Gen.1:3.....

1. Gods Word has power.

- Hebrews 4:12-13.

- Prov. 30:5.

- Psalm 18:30.

2. Jesus spoke the word, and He spoke with Power.

- Luke 4:36.

- 1 John 2:5.

- 2 Peter 3:5-7

3. We need word today to Understand God and to live in His power....

- Rom. 10:17. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

- Hebrews 11:3

- GOD gave us His word and when we speak it it has power, He told us to lose and to bind......

- Word has power. Speak it.

- What is the Word of God ? Word is everything .....

- Why do we need the Word of God ? We need God, We need to understand the way God works...... we Have to live and walk by His word....

- Its possible to see and not to believe, but its also possible not to see and to believe.......

Matt. 7:24.... we must hear and do....

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

1 Cor. 13:6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

- Love must be based on truth......

- Love is not what the society say love is 1 John 2:5...

- 2 John 6

- Love is truth, He is love He is the truth..... Love is to keep his commandments.

- Nowhere in the Bible it says that love is nice.....

- Love is truth.....

- The only way we can walk in Gods love is if we obey HIm...

- Gods Love can not be practiced by being nice.... It has to be done together with God, we must spend time with God to be like God.

Why LOVE does not delight in evil ???

1. LIE: If we Lie than we sin....

- Love does not lie, love does not delight in the lie or evil.....

Eph. 4:17-25.

Fear causes us to lie...

1 Jh. 2:20-21.

- No lie comes from the truth, so if we lie we do not speak the truth.... we go against GOD.

Col. 3:5-14...

- Why we fall Rom. 1:24-25.

-When we lie we worship satan he is the father of lie. John 8:44

2. Does not delight in evil: We should never enjoy anything that goes against God,

- We must hate what goes against God.

- To fear God is to hate evil. Prov. 8:13.

- Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

- If we love we will never support evil, lie, rubbish talk, immoral movies, TV shows, music, jokes.

- If we love we will stand for the truth and rejoice in the truth...

- If we understand how to live in love, we will understand God, and show God to this world.....

Love It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not angered, it keeps no record of wrong.

- 1 Cor. 13:5

- If you want to be loved JUST LOVE OTHERS FIRST.....

- LOVE GOD and you will LOVE LIKE GOD.....

- The reason we don't love God or people because we don't know God.

- We love to point fingers and say but they this and that..... Its not about them its about us loving people FIRST......

- Jesus considered Himself nothing so we can become something.....

- Gods love is directed towards people, our love should be towards people.

1. Love it is not rude:

- We have to make sure that we don't act Rude in any situation, we have to be polite and respectful to everyone no matter what they do to us....

2. Not self seeking when we do something to people we not looking to get something out of it, but we do it because we LOVE.

- Never Seek your own, just for me me me me me me ........

- People always say what about ME.... Jesus said its all about YOU....

Gal. 5:20.... selfish desire,

- We are naturally selfish some less some more but its in us to be selfish..

- Jesus came and restored what we lost which is in Gal. 5:22-23....

- Me and you we where supposed to be LOVE.

3. Love it is not angered....

- When we love we have to stay cool....

- In our anger we can make lots of mistakes that will effect us and our future...... Matt. 5:22....

- Eph. 4:26-27.

- When Jesus got angry Matt. 21:12... He did it with Love... He healed right after......

- some people might say God is angry with people and this is why ..... Rom. 1:18-20.

- So there's 2 different types of anger but when we get angry its usually because of our selfish desires......

4. It keeps no record of wrong.

- Love forgives....... and thats what Jesus did on the cross.

- We must forgive in order for us to to be forgiven....

Heb. 10:16-18. God forgave us and remembers it no more......

- We must forgive Matt. 6:14-15.

- If we want to grow in life we must forgive...... We must Love......

Come to God and you will love like God.

Love. part 2. Kind, Does not ENVY.

God is love and He shared it with us.

Love is KIND

- Prov. 12:25.

- By our kindness we can change people and our self....

- Prov. 14:31.

- Who is needy ? Everyone is... we must show kindness to please God.... Because God is kind and He wants us to reflect it to people.

- God is Kind to us....: Kind- having or showing a friendly, generous, and considerate nature

- Kindness not only when we fake smile but also when we behind their backs..... God sees our hearts....

1 Co. 13:4-5. Love - It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Envy - jealousy, covetousness; resentment, bitterness, discontent

- Envy is natural in us.... because of sin. Gal. 5:19-21.

- Cain killed Abel because of envy

- One of the 10 commandments is not to ENVY.... Ex. 20:17

- Prov. 14:30

Self explanatory..

- Mark 7:14:23....

Jesus said that ENVY is one of the things that make us unclean.... What is unclean ? Its how we live, how we present ourself to others, thats what destroys us, being unclean will eventually destroy you...

- Titus 3:3-8.

We must do good and take care of others....

- Instead of being jealous we must bless others .....

- Jealousy can destroy a lot of thing in your life, you can ruin many relationships, you can miss good opportunities just because we got jealous at some one at one point or another.......

- Ask God to help you to stop it, do everything to work on yourself not to be jealous......

Thank you for listening please leave you comments or questions or email them to me @ Jesusfreak96@hotmail.com

God bless.

Love is patient.....

I preached this sunday on topic "Love is patient" .

Enjoy it and if you have any comments or questions please post them or email them to me @ Jesusfreak96@hotmail.com

God is LOVE.

We must be LOVE.

We are created and designed to love......

Walking in love is our original purpose...... WE HAVE TO BE LOVE.

Walking in love is being ourself......

- Through Love we where saved...... Titus 3:3-7. 3. At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5. he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6. whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior

- When we walk in GODs love people will be saved..... When Love of God will appear through us everywhere we go you will see how people will change.

- Gods love changes us.....

1 Cor. 13:1-4.5.

- Love is patient, Love is Kind.

Amp: 4. Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

- We must Clothe ourself WE must DO IT.....

Col. 3:12-14... 12. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

- How to be patient ?

Romans 5:1-5. 1. Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2. through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4. and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

- When we go through stuff.... we become patient.

- We must have patience to stand to the end....

- Patience will prevent you from making mistakes....

- Patience will help you to stay strong to the end......

Hebrews 10:35-37 (New Living Translation) 35. So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36. Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

- Patience will help us to do Gods will.... It will help us to stay to the end and see God....

- How long we must wait.... ?

James 5:7-9 (New International Version)

7. Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. 8. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. 9. Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!

- We must Love and we must be patient.

- Only in God and through God we can walk in LOVE......

Journal during my fast.....

Journal during Fasting time.

August 27 - Sept 1st.

I'm writing only few parts out of each day......

July. 30: Thursday I felt God very close to me, He spoke a lot, I received lots of revelations, topics to preach on etc....

- Also God reminded me about the book that I started to write in November 2006, and He showed me how much I missed and that its time to catch up.....

- Thursday evening went by good talk to few people and thats the closing of my day. Over all it was productive day......

July. 31: Woke up my phone was shut off... called ATT, got it back on.

One lesson i learned not to allow my first hour of the day to ruin the whole day.....

- Spend time with God about hour and a half just praying and some Bible time, and it was desert time, but I like it because it makes me work for Gods presence, we so used to feeling God right away, and now was the time to really work.

- The whole day was pressure, felt really hungry and had a headache.

- It was really hard to focus on anything I tried to do, but I still forced myself to do it..... ( almost told myself I should quit so i can be more productive, but God said I can do it, just have to learn how to do it with all my strength.)

- Evening was the hardest..... hahaha. Mind is a powerful thing.... all night had to work on myself to stay connected to God, past was constantly creeping in and just nonstop fight with myself and my past.

- I won..... day 5 was over. ( sometime simple bed time can solve many issues but never go to sleep in defeat...... )

Aug. 1: Saturday. Up and ready for the day. Feeling awesome.......

- saturday went by good........ overnight prayer was good and day was over.

Aug. 2: Sunday. Was a great day..... God spoke a lot to me during worship in church, and i felt Him just speaking to me during the message which I love it. I was surprised myself by the stuff that coming out of my mouth when i was preaching.....

Aug. 3: Monday time to work.....

- I don't want to fast just to get something out of it, I wanna do this because I Love God and I want to please Him...... I want to be closer to Him and know Him.......

- Most of the people want God for something and not for who He is.....

- God showed me that fasting is just a first level of sacrifice that we must go through, and there's more to come..... Jesus paid high price to be who He was and if we want to become great in the Kingdom of God we must pay that price.

- We must stay focused all the time because one second can ruin everything we been building for years..... We must always be conscious and connected to God.

- Monday went by good and productive, finished a day talking to few people about life and God..... best part of the day is hearing God and feeling Him right next to you.

God bless...... please write your questions or comments or just email them to me i would love to hear your feedback.

Zig Ziglar's quotes....

I've been listening to his podcast and took some notes, he has very good stuff, definitely recommend it and its free to download...... Enjoy.

- Everyone has a choice, every choice has an end result.

- There something we can do right now that will make our future better or worse.

- Success in life is not determined by being knocked down, but how fast we get up when we fall down......

- You are what you are and where you are because of what goes in to your mind......

- People who don't take step #1 will never take step #2.

- When you have nothing to fear and nothing to hide you can do more with your life......

- Every time you open your mouth you let men look in to your mind....

- DO it one step at a time......

- Finish the JOB...... Finish what you started....

- Quit things that are distractive..... (junk food, information you put in you, people around you, habits such smoking, drinking etc.... )

- Don't put yourself down when you build somebody else up....

- Get in SHAPE..... (all around )

- Listen learn how to communicate....

- Value yourself for who you are....

- We can respond instead of reacting......

- Its okay to fall down..... Just get up....

- Change your thinking..... How ? By what you put in to your mind....

- What we put in our mind effects our thinking, and our thinking effects our action, and our action effects our future.....

- Do not make important decisions when you physically exhausted....

- We should be the best listeners when we speak... to improve yourself.

- We can change and we can grow, we have to start.....

Hope you enjoy this and learn something from this notes.

God bless.

Live In Gods Presence..... part 2.

Presence of God. part 2.

- God created you to cary His presence.

- He always intended for us to be in His presence.

- We are the ones that must keep His presence around us.....

- Why can't His presence be around us ? Because of our lifestyle.... Light has nothing to do with the darkness ....

1 John 1:5-7. 5. This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Ephesians 5:

1. We must sacrifice to be in Gods presence. Exodus 18:12

- God honors those who GIVE UP EVERYTHING..... (not just lil time or some church but EVERYTHING.)

- Jesus sacrifice His life so we can Live today.

2. We must be led by the Spirit.

- Romans 8:12-14.

- We must live by the Spirit to please God we must be obedient, everyone of these points connect and we can not be with out them ....

- Gal. 5:16:18 If we live by flesh we go against God.

- Gal. 5:22-25

3. Obedience brings and keeps presence of God......

Deuteronomy 28 ... ( Blessing for Obedience.... )

- When we walk in obedience we walk with God.

1 Samuel 15:22.... Obedience is better than sacrifice....

What pushes away presence of God ? Is our flesh, our emotions, our actions when we do not feel like praying or moving in God.

- We must keep His presence.

Why are people so lonely ? part 3.

Are you selfish?

This is one of the issues we have in the world. We, as humans, became very selfish.

Why do you go to work everyday? Why do you do what you do on daily basis? Do you do this for yourself or for the benefit of others?

From what i realize, most people are at their jobs just to pay their bills or to buy something for themselves.... which is necessary, but this should not be the only reason why we live our lives, just for US. Can you agree that we are very self-centered human beings and that's what's hurting us as a society? So how can we solve this?

1. Think of the thing you would most love to do for the rest of your life and that you would be able to do for free... something that you really love.

2. Start pursuing that dream.

3. Get out of the environment you are in now and do what you love.

Okay, what does this have to do with us being lonely? See, when we live a self-centered life and only think about ourselves and not about others, it actually makes us lonely. Especially if you work a job that you don't really love and you live your life just to pay bills or just to satisfy your needs... basically you live for yourself and do not even think about others...

See the principal "love your neighbor as yourself " works... whether we like it or not.

When we are all about us we are alone.

When we live and have consideration for others we are together...

When you start wanting to go to your job to make this community a better place, you will see how your views on life will change. You will see how much others will start caring about you.

We have to stop being greedy and so competitive and enjoy our lives. Because in reality no one really cares what you wear, what you drive, or how big your house is. Yes, people might look at you for a second or two, but at the end of the day we are still alone and by ourselves.

The reason why is because we have never lived our life for more than just our personal satisfaction. We always wanted more for ourselves.

If you did try this principle and people mistreated you, it's fine. Just keep on going and move on to another person. God himself said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all." So serving others is not always pleasant, but its satisfying. In doing that, you will be first and you will never feel lonely....

God bless. Part 4 coming soon ....

Why are people so lonely ? part 2.

Okay, let's get started right away. People are lonely and one of the things that will help you not to be lonely, always have people show interest in you, and always be around you is when you begin to start living an open life; living a life without secrets.

Honestly, there are no need for secrets. I'm not talking about personal things since I am a pastor and people tell me things which I have no right to share with other. But when it comes to my personal life, I want to be open to anyone and everyone because I have nothing to hide.

For some time I've been living an open life. It's the best life ever. You don't have to worry about hiding anything. When you create secrets (and yes we do create them on our own by some of the choices we make), you separate yourself from others who are not included in those "secrets". What happens is you automatically become alone, or maybe have one other person involved. Then, when you meet with others, you become closed up since you can't share your life with your friends or family members.

Like I said, there is absolutely no point to keeping secrets. Be open with people and they will be open with you. Don't hide anything or exclude anyone just be "free."

I guarantee you that your life will change when you start living this way. If someone shares a secret with you, just keep it and be a good friend, but teach others to live a "secret free" life to avoid gossip, misunderstandings, etc...

I've chosen to live my life this way now. You can call me anytime and ask me what I am doing and I'll tell you, and maybe even invite you to come along. I hated not being able to tell people what I was doing because it was something wrong that I was doing. So don't do wrong things. Live a clean, holy life and you will be blessed.

And for those who think that it's cool to have secrets, the Bible tells us clearly in Matthew 10:26, "Therefore, do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known." So whats the point of living a secret life when everything will be revealed one day anyway?

If you have any questions you can just email them to me at Jesusfreak96@hotmail.com God bless...... part 3 coming soon.
