    Have you found difficulty finding time to pray? Have you found difficulty while trying to hear the voice of the Lord speak to you? Television, Compact Disks, Radio, and other media outlets have become a very loud noise in our homes these days. Trying to find a quiet place in our homes to read our Bibles and pray is rarity, but that doesn't make spending some quiet time with God any less important. God desires that we would set some time aside to spend with him, but the truth is that we've made cell phone calls, social networking, programmed T.V. and Radio a priority while wondering why we just don't hear the Lord speak to us. Truth is...if we want to hear from the Lord, then we need to make some changes.
    Matthew 6:6 says: When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut the door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place, and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
    You see sometimes we just need to shut the door to the things that are going on around us. we need to shut off the TV, shut off the radio, silence the phone, and spend some time with God, I tell you the truth, not only will the Lord hear your prayer, He will speak to you, give you direction, and give you a hope that is greater than any sitcom, phone call, or radio program could ever give.

  • News Helicopter

    Have you ever heard a traffic news update that reported everything but the traffic? More than likely not. These reporters have one job when they step into the cockpit of that chopper and that is to report the traffic, if they did anything else we’d be a little upset wouldn’t we? We want them to do their job of telling us the best roads to travel that will get us to our destination without any accidents or detours. Because when they do their job we get to plan our lives more effectively.

    In a like manner there are many Christians who have failed to do their jobs as Christians, and no I’m not saying that we need to get into a helicopter and report the good news of Jesus; however that wouldn’t be a bad idea. However we are instructed to lead people off of the road that leads to hell, and give them the news that will lead them towards the paths of righteousness, and eternity in Heaven.

    Scripture tells us “to go into the entire world and preach the gospel, make disciples”. But many Christians have just sat back and enjoyed the scenery of the world, fixing their focus on the things of the world, and failing to do as we are instructed to do. I encourage you to set your sights on what God has called us to do. Let’s begin reporting the good news of Jesus to the world. Not only will you lead others to a life of joy with Jesus Christ, but God will be sure to show you many many amazing things throughout your life as a result of your obedience to Him.

  • Wagon Commercial

    We’ve all heard the commercials on the radio. Some person is acting as if the car, grill, microwave, or well you fill in the blank. They act as if this item is the best thing that has ever happened to them. Boasting about how it’s changed their life, when in reality, it’s just another object. These commercials are designed to entice us so that we’d think “Hey I want to be as happy as those people are, maybe I need what they have.” When in reality, you and I need nothing more than what God has given to us, our life.

    This world will try to entice us to chase everything it has to offer, but we should remind ourselves that scripture tells us not to store up these earthly treasures where someone can break in and steal them, but store up treasures in heaven.

    I want to challenge you to not only strive after living your life with one purpose which is to love the Lord with your life, but I challenge you to speak as loudly as these commercials do about how satisfied you are living your life for the Lord. Tell others that Jesus is the only way to true happiness. You’ll see that just as much as some people run out to buy the next car as a result of these false commercials, somebody may very well ask you how they can get a hold of a relationship with God because of your truth filled witness.

  • Flea Market

    Well, I’ve been to some flea markets myself, and I have purchased my share of useless stuff. In fact many of us have. That’s what garage sales are for right? Getting rid of all those things that we purchased on a whim? Well let me ask you, are you wondering around the world as if it were your flea market, doing whatever you want to do with your life? Have you been living contrary to the way God would want you to live, in search for that temporal pleasure, in search of that worldly lifestyle? If so then I think you should realize that this pursuit will not go without consequence.

    As we look into the book of Genesis we see that Adam and eve were given the best of the best. The best fruits, the best vegetables, and even the best life. They were free to do what they desired, but God gave them one condition, telling them to stay away from one tree, and  one piece of Fruit. We know the story, Eve was tempted by the devil, and she took a bite. And rather than tasting the taste of wonderful fruit, she tasted disobedience to God, She tasted separation from God, and as a result she and Adam were banished from the garden.

    This is a story that all of us have heard and read in our Bibles on many occasions, but let me ask you, are you living your life in the same way? You see this life gives us plenty of opportunity to gather the things of the world. The lust for power, money, and riches are things that all of us have been tempted to chase at one time or another; but let me warn you; stay away…

    This world is not your flea market. We cannot just live any way we want or feel like. God desires that we would live with the mindset of pleasing Him, and Him alone. So if you have developed a mindset to please yourself without considering the consequences, I encourage you to stop. Turn your eyes to the Lord, and chase him and him alone. Not only will you enjoy your life, but you won’t be kicked out of heaven, in fact you’ll be able to confidently say that you’ve got a place reserved for you in kingdom of God.

  • Kingdom Minded Video Podcast
    This is a Video of when I spoke at Praise Chapel in Downey California. It's pretty funny, while at the same time the message really makes you think about the way that you live your life. Are we living to build up a Kingdom of our own on this earth? Or are we striving and pursuing an eternal kingdom with the Lord?

  • Say Cheese
    We've all had to pose for a picture at one time or another; a wedding photo, a school photo, a mugshot-well hopefully not a mugshot but I think you get the idea. We strike our best pose, and let out our best smile, showing our best side, hoping that the camera will magnify our best facial qualities, while hiding the pimple we woke up with or that cracked tooth that whistles every time we speak. We take these pictures so that we can remember the event or the date. And there's no doubt that we want to look our best so we can remember how good we appeared as well. But let me ask you, in the midst of always trying to look good, smile beautifully, and hide our facial insecurities, have we neglected the most important part of our appearance? Have we forgotten that Jesus wants to take on the main appearance in our life?
    Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Set your minds on the things above, not on the things of the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
    Listen Jesus wants to appear in you and I. He wants to be the one who shines through us. Jesus wants His love to shine brighter than our teeth and our highlights. Jesus wants to be bigger than our hair and our muscles. Jesus wants to appear in us whether we're asleep or awake, rich or poor, sick or healthy, and the good news is that His appearance will never fade. I encourage you, next time your looking in the mirror preparing for your families photo time, remember the one who wants to take center stage in your life, and ask yourself, "Is Jesus appearing in me today?"

  • I Hate That
    Have you ever had a friend who complained about everything? The quality of the air, the little things that people do, and even the smell of watermelon? I've often noticed people in the community complaining about everything and anything, in fact, complaining seems to be a major topic for most peoples discussion doesn't it? So here comes the question-why? Why do we spend so much of the time that we have with one another complaining, when we could be using it to lift one another up?
    Scripture tells us in Philippians 2:14 to do everything without complaining. And what should we say that the word everything means? Yep everything means everything. You see God wants us to focus on the goodness that He has bestowed on us, the blessings that God has given to us. God wants us to live this life with a thankful heart. But if we keep complaining about every little thing that comes our way, then we had better get used to the misery of life. We shouldn't expect the Lord to give anything to us if we remain in a constant stink about everything. I encourage you to focus on the good things in life. Even though Aunt Edna may always talk with her mouth full, be thankful your family has food to eat. Every time you have to sit in traffic, be thankful you have a car to sit in traffic with. You see, learn to look at the brighter, better, and good side of life. You'll be a happier person because of it, and God will continue to pour out his blessings to you if you would just learn to stop complaining. And even though you may always go around saying "I hate that, I hate that" the truth is God is in heaven looking at your attitude saying the very same thing.

  • Twittering God
    How much time do you spend on Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook? Did you know that the average person spends 5 minutes of every hour on a social network? 5 Minutes! That's 2 Hours a day on a social network, meanwhile we have most of our population that claims that they just don't have enough time to pray, and read the Word of God. Does this make any sense to you, cause it sure has me confused. We spend time writing little notes on Twitter to all of our followers whom we call Twits, yet we receive little to no strength, hope, or consolation from them. So why do we spend this time on a social network and neglect the lord? That my friend is a question that we all need to ask ourselves.
    Listen, I encourage you to put down the computer and the smart phone for just a few minutes out of that time that you're spending on a social network, and use this time to spend with the Lord. You'll see that with the Lord you will find hope, peace, and a better life if you would take some of that time to speak with strangers, to have fellowship with God, and the best part of it is that God won't call you one of His Twits, you'll be a living, breathing, and communicating Child Of God.

  • Knock Knock Joke
    In our day to day lives it's easy to joke and even pass off some intense circumstances with a joke, or funny comment. But I've noticed that this joking can also play into our spiritual lives as well, and my friend if you, or someone you know doesn't know Jesus, there's nothing funny about it.
    So let's personalize this; have you ever tried to tell someone about Jesus and had them turn your faith into into a joke? Maybe you dont know the Lord, and you've been making Jesus Christ out to be some kind of joke in your life saying things like "I'll live while I'm alive, and sleep when I'm dead". Though it may sound appealing to do as you please while you're alive, and then live for the Lord when you die, it just doesn't work out that way my friend.
    Listen the truth is that Jesus loves you, and there's nothing that you can do to change that, but frankly speaking, if we choose to leave the door of our hearts closed while Jesus stands at the door knocking, then we shouldn't expect the Lord to open the door to heaven when one day we come knocking either.
    Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
    You see the Lord wants to enter into your life, to have fellowship with you, to love you, and to shape you into a man or woman after God's own heart, and though you may claim that Jesus is the Lord of your life, the truth is in your heart. Ask yourself; is He is truly living in your heart, ask yourself if you've truly opened the door to your heart and are having fellowship with Him. If you've answered "No" then it's time open the door and truly let Him live in you. Jesus doesn't see this gift as joke and the truth is neither should we. So though our day to day conversation may be filled with jokes, let your relationship with God be confidently proclaimed as not just some passive relationship, but proclaim the truth, Jesus is your source of life.
