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 ....

- Its the most important.....

- Love towards Him will keep His presence near you....

God bless and i hope that this message will help you to get closer to God.

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.

Why are people so lonely ? part 1.

Ok. As I promised, I was going to write something about this topic. Here we go... So why are so many people so lonely in this world ? We have a lot of people living around us, we're always around people, and yet people often tell me that they are very lonely. Even if they have lots of friends in their circle, still they are lonely.

I really thought about this and came to one conclusion - that most of us are very self centered people and that's one of the reasons people feel lonely. People do not want to think about other or even do something for others.

Being self centered kills us, we only want things for ourself and thats why when no one pays attention we feel like we're completely alone in this world.

Look, this life is not about us.

God told us to "love our neighbor as ourselves " but the problem is that we don't really love our neighbors or ourselves..... WHY ? Because we don't know ourselves and that's why we cant truly love ourselves. We love our body and we love to have materialistic things for ourselves, but we don't know ourselves for who we are within..... we don't understand ourselves, we don't know what we are fully capable of, we don't know our potential to the fullest, and we don't see ourselves with in......

1. We must find out who we are and what we were born to do on this earth, and only God knows you and can reveal that to you.... so ask Him.

2. When we will know who we are, we will be able to love ourselves and start loving our neighbor as we love ourselves.

3. We must start living for others. We must serve others, and yes I know what you thinking - that people don't care and that people will still treat you wrong, but do not pay attention to that. We have to do our part and not worry about people mistreating you. I guarantee you it will happen but one day there will be people whose life will change because of you.

4. Live your live for others and you will never feel lonely, because when you start serving people they will start serving you back, when you show them real love they will be transformed by it and start showing love in return....

The reason you are lonely today is maybe because you never lived your life to serve others. Most likely, your life has always been about yourself and your family, but mainly about your job, you car, your house, your education, your money .......

So stop and look around and see who needs help, who needs attention...... and go and help them.

I'm not talking about homeless people here or people in 3rd world countries, I'm talking about regular people that we see around us everyday. People at our jobs, school, roads, malls and etc.

So start today.............. part 2 coming soon.

GOD BLESS.

p.s. thanks to Chris aka Audicid for help with editing... ...

Think.....

Today i went to "rock park" I had a great time just sitting down reading the Bible and just thinking.

Thinking is very important part of our lives...... thinking is very powerful and sometimes can help us to grow or opposite can slow us down and ruin our whole day.....

Depression is a thought..... it comes to people and ruins them.

We have to be in full control of our mind otherwise it will take full control over us.

Start controlling your thoughts, its also important to control what goes in to our mind, what do we watch, what do we listen to, who do we talk to, and which books, magazines, etc we read..... Remember everything you put in to your mind one day it will come out, so start controlling what comes in to your mind.

Also it's great to sit and to think about life, few questions everyone should ask themselves :

1. Who am I ?

2. Where am I going in life ?

3. What should i do to become better person and how can I benefit this world ?

So slow down a lil and think about your life, you have a lot of potential in you and sometimes we are so busy that we miss the whole point of our life....

Life is short so don't ruin it.

If you don't know where you going in life just ask God..... He will guide you, He will show you who you really are.

God bless.
