I AM....Freedom to the captives

God is awesome, and he has been blessing me abundantly. Any where from preaching, to showing me new things everyday. Lately he has been talking to me a lot, and it's been a blessing everytime! Lately, i have been getting opportunities to witness to so many people, and it's been a blessing.

I am preaching tomorrow, (Sunday, March 11th) and I pray that God will allow me to be effective, as he wants me to be. I pray that God will open up the ears of the youth group, and open up their heart to recieve not what I have to say, but what God has to say. I Pray against satan, that he may have no part, he is loosed, and is not welcome here, he is rendered powerless, and he is under my foot! I pray the Body of Christ stands fortified on the Word of God.

SERMON TOPIC: Backsliding---Having a Hot, Luke-Warm, or cold relationship with God.

Praise the lord!

In less than 1 week (Saturday, March 17th) I have signed up to preach for the Fine Arts Festival. 5 minute limit, but God can still speak through 5 minutes. Amen!

SERMON TOPIC: How to save a life---Witnessing.

I look forward to seeing what God has planned for me in the future, and how i can serve him to benefit the kingdom of God.

All for souls!

In the Great I AM,

Website updates!

Hey Everyone! How are you doing? I am sorry i haven't journaled in a while, wow, in fact i havent journaled in the longest time! I have been busy with church, preaching, and prepping for college!

I just wanted to inform everybody of new changes to LFJ (Live For Jesus), and what the staff of the website are planning for LFJ in the future:

NOTE: PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH THE CHANGES, AS THE PROCCESS MAY BE SLOW, AND THE WEBSITE MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO LOAD, WHEN WE ARE UPDATING THE SITE. THANK YOU!

1) We have made the front page different, as you might of noticed!

--We have added a music player, pick your favorite songs out of the bunch of songs...IF you do not see it there, please send all song requests to mpsnedag@yahoo.com. However, these songs must be Christian, and will be reviewed. Thank you!

2) As the webmaster gets closer to college, it may become more difficult to update this. Thank you for your understanding!

3) We plan on making a section for Pastors! Where they can encourage and be encouraged!

--We have to look at logistics, but we may also include sermon outlines for pastors as well.

4) We want to reach a goal of 10,000 people before 2008. Make sure you tell your friends about this website. LFJ wants to know that there are a lot of people coming to this site, and a lot of people getting saved. please allow this to happen. Tell as many people as you can about this website!

-For a list of LFJ's complete goals, please go to www.liveforjesus.bravehost.com/goals2007

Not all sermons are preached in words

Here is an e-mail i recieved sharing an illustration of God's love. Read and enjoy. It's awesome!
 
 
 This is a tremendous practical illustration of Christ's gift to us.
 If you don't share it with others, at least let it speak to you.
 There was a certain Professor of Religion named Dr Christianson, a studious
 man who taught at a small college in the western United States.
 Dr. Christianson taught the required survey course in Christianity at this
 particular institution. Every student was required to take this course his
 or her freshman year, regardless of his or her major.
 Although Dr Christianson tried hard to communicate the essence of the gospel in his class, he found that most of his students looked
 upon the course as nothing but required drudgery. Despite his best efforts,
 most students refused to take Christianity seriously.
 This year, Dr. Christianson had a special student named Steve. Steve was
 only a freshman, but was studying with the intent of going onto
 seminary for the ministry. Steve was popular, he was well liked, and he
 was an imposing physical specimen. He was now the starting center
 on the school football team, and was the best student in the
professor's class.
 One day, Dr. Christianson asked Steve to stay after class so he could
talk with him. "How many push-ups can you do?"
 Steve said, "I do about 200 every night."
 "200? That's pretty good, Steve," Dr. Christianson said. "Do you
think you could do 300?"
 Steve replied, "I don't know...I've never done 300 at a time."
 "Do you think you could?" again asked Dr. Christianson.
 "Well, I can try," said Steve.
 "Can you do 300 in sets of 10? I have a class project in mind and I need
 you to do about 300 push-ups in sets of ten for this to work.
Can you do it? I need you to tell me you can do it," said the
professor.
 Steve said, "Well... I think I can...yeah, I can do it"
 Dr. Christianson said, "Good! I need you to do this on Friday. Let me
 explain what I have in mind."
 Friday came and Steve got to class early and sat in the front of the room.
 When class started, the professor pulled out a big box of donuts
 No, these weren't the normal kinds of donuts, they were the extra
 fancy BIG kind, with cream centers and frosting swirls.
 Everyone was pretty excited it was Friday, the last class of the day,
and they were going to get an early start on the weekend with a party in
Dr.Christianson's class.
 Dr. Christianson went to the first girl in the first row and asked,
 "Cynthia, do you want to have one of these donuts?" Cynthia said, "Yes."
Dr. Christianson then turned to Steve and asked, "Steve, would you do ten
 push-ups so that Cynthia can have a donut?"
"Sure." Steve jumped down from his desk to do a quick ten. Then Steve again sat in his desk. Dr. Christianson put a donut on Cynthia's desk.
Dr. Christianson then went to Joe, the next person, and asked, "Joe, do
you want a donut?" Joe said, "Yes." Dr. Christianson asked, "Steve would
you do ten push-ups so Joe can have a donut?" Steve did ten push-ups, Joe got a donut.  And so it went, down the first aisle, Steve did ten pushups for every person before they got their donut.
 Walking down the second aisle, Dr. Christianson came to Scott.Scott was
on the basketball team, and in as good condition as Steve. He was
 very popular and never lacking for female companionship. When the
professor asked, "Scott do you want a donut?" Scott's reply was, "Well, can I do my own pushups?"
 Dr. Christianson said, "No, Steve has to do them."
 Then Scott said, "Well, I don't want one then."
 Dr. Christianson shrugged and then turned to Steve and asked, "Steve,
 would you do ten pushups so Scott can have a donut he doesn't want?"
 With perfect obedience Steve started to do ten pushups.
 Scott said, "HEY! I said I didn't want one!"
 Dr. Christianson said, "Look, this is my classroom, my class, my desks,
 and these are my donuts. Just leave it on the desk if you don't
 want it." And he put a donut on Scott's desk.
 Now by this time, Steve had begun to slow down a little. He just stayed
on the floor between sets because it took too much effort to
 be getting up and down. You could start to see a little perspiration
 coming out around his brow.
 Dr. Christianson started down the third row. Now the students were
 beginning to get a little angry. Dr. Christianson asked "Jenny, do you
want a donut?"
 Sternly, Jenny said, "No."
 Then Dr. Christianson asked Steve, "Steve, would you do ten more
push-ups so Jenny can have a donut that she doesn't want?" Steve did ten....Jenny got a donut.
 By now, a growing sense of uneasiness filled the room. The students
were beginning to say!
"No" and there were all these uneaten donuts on the desks.
 . Steve also had to really put forth a lot of extra effort to get these
pushups done for each donut. There began to be a small pool of sweat on the
floor beneath his face, his arms and brow were beginning to get red because of the physical effort involved.
 Dr. Christianson asked Robert, who was the most vocal unbeliever in the
 class, to watch Steve do each push up to make sure he did the full ten
pushups in a set because he couldn't bear to watch all of Steve's work for all of those uneaten donuts.
He sent Robert over to where Steve was so Robert could count the set
and watch Steve closely.
 Dr. Christianson started down the fourth row. During his class, however,
 some students from other classes had wandered in and sat down
 on the steps along the radiators that ran down the sides of the
room.When the professor realized this, he did a quick count and saw that now there were 34 students in the room. He started to worry if Steve would
be able to make it. Dr. Christianson went on to the next person and
the next and the next. Near the end of that row, Steve was really having a
 rough time. He was taking a lot more time to complete each set.
 Steve asked Dr Christianson, "Do I have to make my nose touch on each one?"
 Dr. Christianson thought for a moment, "Well, they're your pushups. You
are in charge now. You can do them any way that you want."
 And Dr. Christianson went on. A few moments later, Jason, a recent
 transfer student, came to the room and was about to come in when
 all the students yelled in one voice, "NO! Don't come in! Stay out!"
 Jason didn't know what was going on. Steve picked up his head and said,
 "No, let him come." Professor Christianson said, "You realize that if
Jason comes in you will have to do ten pushups for him?"
 Steve said, "Yes, let him come in. Give him a donut"
 Dr. Christianson said, "Okay, Steve, I'll let you get Jason's out of
the way right now. Jason, do you want a donut?"
 Jason, new to the room, hardly knew what was going on. "Yes," he said,
 "give me a donut."
 "Steve, will you do ten push-ups so that Jason can have a donut?"
Steve did ten pushups very slowly and with great effort.
 Jason, bewildered, was handed a donut and sat down.
 Dr. Christianson finished the fourth row, and then started on those
visitors seated by the heaters. Steve's arms were now shaking
 with each push-up in a struggle to lift himself against the force of gravity.
 By this time sweat was profusely dropping off of his face, there was no
 sound except his heavy breathing; there was not a dry eye in the room.
 The very last two students in the room were two young women,
 both cheerleaders, and very popular. Dr.Christianson went to Linda,
 the second to last, and asked, "Linda, do you want a doughnut?"
 Linda said, very sadly, "No, thank you."
 Professor Christianson quietly asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups
so that Linda can have a donut she doesn't want?"
 Grunting from the effort, Steve did ten very slow pushups for Linda.
 Then Dr.Christianson turned to the last girl, Susan. "Susan, do you
want a donut?"
 Susan, with tears flowing down her face, began to cry. "Dr. Christianson,
 why can't I help him?"
 Dr. Christianson, with tears of his own, said, "No, Steve has to do it
 alone, I have given him this task and he is in charge of seeing
 that everyone has an opportunity for a donut whether they want it or
not.
 When I decided to have a party this last day of class,
 I looked at my grade book. Steve here is the only student with a perfect
 grade. Everyone else has failed a test, skipped class,
 or offered me inferior work. Steve told me that in football practice, when
 a player messes up he must do push-ups.
 I told Steve that none of you could come to my party unless he paid the
 price by doing your push ups. He and I made a deal for your sakes.
" Steve, would you do ten push-ups so Susan can have a donut?"
 As Steve very slowly finished his last pushup, with the understanding
that he had accomplished all that was required of him, having done 350
pushups, his arms buckled beneath him and he fell to the floor.
 Dr. Christianson turned to the room and said. "And so it was, that our
 Savior, Jesus Christ, on the cross, plead to the Father, 'into thy hands
I commend my spirit.'
 With the understanding that He had done everything that was required of
Him, He yielded up His life. And like some of those in this room, many of us
leave the gift on the desk, uneaten." Two students helped Steve up off the floor and to a seat, physically exhausted, but wearing a thin smile.Well done, good and faithful servant," said the professor, adding "Not all sermons are preached in words." Turning to his class, the professor said, "My wish is that you might understand and fully comprehend all the riches of grace and
 mercy that have been given to you through the sacrifice of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. He spared not only His Begotten Son,
 but gave Him up for us all, for the whole Church, now and forever.
 Whether or not we choose to accept His gift to us, the price has
 been paid." "Wouldn't you be foolish and ungrateful to leave it lying
on the desk?"
 Share this with someone. It's bound to touch their heart and
demonstrate Salvation in a very special way.

Merry CHRISTmas

Hello everyone!

Sorry to keep everyone waiting for my next journal entry! Man, I've been so busy!

Well, my life is going better then ever! I've already preached two times, and I'm preaching a lot more in the future. I've been practicing my sermons a lot. I'm psyched for Febraury to come! I'm flying over to mississippi with a friend to help with the relief efforts after the hurricane. That's going to be awesome, just to go to mississippi and help people clean up and everything. It will be an experience, that's for sure! Also, I'm signing up for a christian fine arts festival. I'm entering into 3 categories: Short sermon, Solo piano and a human video (with a friend). So, as you can see...I've been busy practicing for all that. Also, Janurary 5th (Thursday) I'm going to be teaching about the bible in my high school english class. I'm a little nervous, but God's helping me. I'm speaking in front of about 15 to 25 students.

Have an awesome and merry christmas!

In the matchless name of Jesus, mike

Called to change

  <--- Click the picture to go to the website.

 

See all those people in the crowd, and the girl above with the "life" taped to her mouth? They are fighting against abortion. They are embracing their calling to change.

Just in case you never got to see the poem I made up, its about this generation. Here it is:

The generation

America, the land of heroes. America, the land who’s people shed their blood for the flag and their people.

America, could you not take one moment to pay allegience to the one who shed his blood for you? If you could only see what he did, if you could only realize his pain, if you could only know what he did for you!

America, the land of the free, where have you wandered? Where have you wandered that we have come so far out of God’s sight? Where have you wandered that the morals we once held sacred now gets trampled on the ground? Where have you gone, America, that we should murder our own children and pollute our eyes with lustful images? Where has America gone that God cannot restore?

What kind of nation are we, when we would kill our unborn babies? What kind of nation are we that would declare there is no God? Who do we think we are testing God almighty?

Get ready, nation of sin, the generation is coming that will restore favor upon us. The generation is rising that will rebuild what past generations have torn down. The generation is coming that will reap what they have sown. The generation, that will stand up for Christ, is coming for you, America! The generation is knocking at your door, waiting for a soul harvest. This generation will rise up, and will make a difference. Get ready for the generation that will bring Satan to his knees, and declare he has no authority over us. This generation will restore what other generations have torn down. The generation is coming that will restore order back to America!

Get ready, Satan…Your time up, and ours is just beginning! We will undue what satan has done. We will utilize our best weapon: Prayer. Satan will not slip through our hands as he did past generations. Get read, Satan! The generation is coming that will put an end to all your dirty works. WE ARE THE GENERATION THAT WILL BRING REVIVAL TO AMERICA!

Dear family in christ,

 

Man! Time goes by so fast. I haven't done a journal entry in over a month. Sorry to keep my fans at the edge of their seat, waiting to see what im gonna write next. I am back, and with exciting news for you all.

The first thing I want to tell you all about is the Bible study. If had mentioned I started a bible study in my journal entry entitled "Reaching my campus", so if you want to know more about starting the bible study, just read the entry. My first bible study was on Tuesday, October 18th. The first meeting went very well. 7 people from my school came, a better turn out then I would have thought. It amazes me how much time we spend worrying about if anybody is gonna show up to a bible study, when God proves himself time after time again. I mean, we worry about something as small as that, when God has to worry about something so big as his own creation going to hell. That was what came into my mind after the first meeting. Basicly, the first meeting was fellowship. We got to know each other more, and stuff like that.

The second meeting, (The meeting is every tuesday) we talked about worry/fear and how it keeps us from being inside the will of God, and how satan can use that against God. This meeting went well. 6 people showed up. We still had a good time talking, praying, and all that good stuff

The third meeting, 6 showed up again. We basicly just decorated some signs for the bible study and put them up all around the school. I am hoping it will draw peoples attention.

Please pray that this bible study will be successful and bring many to our precious Jesus. Let's pray together that this will get christians from talking the talk to walking the walk! Lets thank Jesus! Believe in those things that be not as though they were!

In the matchless name of Jesus,

                                     Mike

At the pulpit

Dear friends,

Sermon: Change Your World

Verse: “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill that cannot be hidden.” Matt 5:14

On Wednesday, September 28, My youth Pastor, Joe, let me preach my first sermon. I was exciting, yet nerving. I definently realized what the bible verse, “The flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing” means. Sometimes, in the flesh, you just want to give up. The spirit, on the other, wants to keep going, it wants to persist. Where the flesh may crumble, the spirit stands. Anyways, toward the beginning of the sermon, I was pretty nervous. Once I got the flow of things, I started getting more comfortable. My youth pastor, awesome person! I have been asking him to preach for at least a year now. We finally talked on the phone, and he said I could start preaching to the 7th and 8th graders. After a year of waiting, I think I finally understand that my pastor just wanted to see how serious I was about preaching. Pastor Joe said that a good first-sermon is about 20 minutes. By accident, I went over by 5-10 minutes and ended up preaching for around 25 to 30 minutes, and I spoke to between 20-40 teens. I’ve gotten so much support from my family, friends, and my church, and Pastor Joe, and I’d just like to thank them very much. I have to admit, when I was asking my youth pastor, I was getting a bit discouraged. My family, friends, and people from church told me to keep being persistent and show him that you want to preach. I want to thank them. I want to also thank my youth pastor for giving me the opportunity to do this. My parents, my youth pastor, a few teens, and even the Southern new England district youth director of the Assemblies of God, Pastor Tim, who drove at least 50 minutes to see “what God has done” in my life, said that I did a good job.

A few quotes for inspiration:

“You can never change the world, when your living just like it”

“When satan reminds you of your past, just remind him of

him of his future”

“Your enemies might be big, but God is extra-large and in charge”

“If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it”

A few things I need to work on: More emphasis, make eye contact, add more excitement to my sermons.

Im very excited to see what is going to happen now. I pray that I will get a lot more opportunities to preach, and to speak in front of people. If you don’t practice that, you’ll eventually end up loosing it, or getting more nervous

Reaching my campus

Dear friends,

 

Last wednesday, September 21st, as you may have known was See You At The Pole. For those of you who do not know, this is a student-initiated, student-promoted, and student-led event. It is when you go to the flag pole at your school and pray for the nation, pray for friends, family, your school, and anything else you want to pray for! As some of you may know, I organized and promoted the event at my school. 12 people, who went against the flow of the school, came to the flag pole at my school, which i am very proud of. Even two grown-ups who sponcered the event came. One was a teacher, and the other was a parent, i think. We all held hands in a big circle. I started the prayer off, and we went around the circle like 3 times, going in order: Praying for our school, praying for leaders, praying that God would bring revival to America, and even praying for hurricane Katrina victims. We prayed for about 15-20 minutes. The turn out was sooo much better then i thought it would be. I thought it would only be me, or atleast one other person who said they were gonna do this with me. One by one, more and more people joined in praying. After See You At The Pole (SYATP) was done, people were asking me what we were doing outside. So i told them we were praying. Its so nice to see devoted Christians in my school! and people who are interested in what we were doing.

Also, within the next few weeks is a critical time for a friend and I! We are gonna start a bible study. Pray that the school will accept it, and they will favor it, and that there will be no problems getting it started. I have a new website that is associated with the bible study. www.tcbs.bravehost.com, while there is nothing on it right now, i will be sure to put stuff on it later.

I cannot wait for wednesday september, 28th....My youth Pastor, Pastor Joe is gonna let me preach a sermon then. I have been waiting for this for so long, and now i ginally get to preach a sermon. Ya!

In the matchless name of Jesus, Mike!

Dear friends,

It feels like years sense the last time that I did a journal entry! Well, I'm back, bigger and badder (For Christ, that is) then ever. First, i want to start my entry with new features I have added and will be adding.

1. If you've been to my front page, you will notice that there are 2 new webpages. "The prayer page" and "en espanol" The prayer page is designed to keep people praying for one another, and also for any prayer reguests that you may have! The "en espanol" page is for those who read in spanish, i have designed the page to help people who speak spanish.

2. Sometime, in the near future, I will be creating a bible study WEBSITE. This website will be designed for people who LEAD bible studies in their school, it will be used to keep notes, and outlines, and all the above. If you have any questions, please contact me!

3. In Feburary, My church will be going on a missions trip to Peru. This trip will cost $1,200 total. Please pray that I can raise up the money to go. I really want to go, and make an impact in Peru. Please, above all else...PRAY PRAY PRAY! If you have any questions about this, or would consider donating so that I would be able to go, e-mail me at yankeeboy1213@aol.com, thank you! 

Note: If you conisder donating, it is not going to me, but to those who are lost, and to impact the souls of peru, and to advance the kingdom of Christ! In a world of darkness, the light needs to be spread!

Greater Boston outreach

Hey, How's everyone doing? Man, last week was the best week. For those of you who do not know, i went on a mission's trip. We went to lynn, ma. "Lynn, lynn, the city of sin. You never come out the way you came in." Yep, you guessed it. That is the motto of Lynn. Lynn was awesome though. Monday, the first day, basicly started with an orientation...More about lynn, what we were doing that week, more about where we were going and stuff like that. After that, we had dinner. After we had dinner, we had more orientation and practiced some stuff for the week. That lasted for hours. For sleeping arrangments, the boys slept in a garage, but it was very nice. The girls slept in the house. There were about 20 to 21 people that came on the missions trip with us, and only one bathroom. So we decided that the boys would shower in the morning, and the girls at night. Anyhow, each night we would be given an hour to calm down and hang out, so that was fun. On tuesday, bright and early, we started the day with devotions. It was fun to have devotions as a group, and it was good to start the day off like that. After we were done with devotions, we got ready for a program called "adopt a block". Adopt a block is when you go door to door, for free, asking people if we could help them in any way (ex: yard work). There would be five people per group. We would remind the people the God loves you. My group did around five houses or so for the whole week. After that, we came back and had lunch. We had sandwhiches all week. I had a ham sandwhich most of the time. After lunch we prepared for another program called "Metro Kids". This was a program for kids. There were games, free give a ways, and bible stories. It was fun, we did this from Tuesday threw Friday. After this program, we went back to the house and had dinner. So, as you can see, each day was jam-packed with fun events. It was the same kind of day on Wednesday. I forgot which day, but one day, during metro kids, some person, who obviously did not like what we were doing, threw an egg at us. It landed on top of a tent, and splattered all over me, and one other person. But anyways, we started a new program at night called servant evangelism. It is where we hand things or do things for free, to remind people that God loves them. On the first night of this program, we handed out candy to people in the park. In some cases, i had to speak, "Hesus Diama" Which is spanish for Jesus loves you. A lot of people spoke spanish in Lynn, Ma. Which made me want to learn more spanish. I knew some spanish, enough to say hi, how are you, nice to meet you, Jesus loves you, thank you, and good bye, but not enough to carry a fluent conversation. Anyways, it was fun. One person, who barely knew english, i gave a peice of candy to him and he said he did not have any money, so i said "Grati" which means free, you should have seen his smile, it was from ear to ear, with a little exageration. On thursday, it was fun because we went to bostone for most of the day, (I was in enemy territory, because i like the yankees). We had a fun time. On friday, it was pretty much the same thing. Saturday, we went to Salem, Ma. You may know it because of the salem witch trials. The moment i got to Salem, I felt a disturbance in my spirit. I felt something was going to go wrong. And it did. There was this guy, not much older than 15, his face was painted in white, and then there was a black streak of paint right in the middle of his face, that is satanic. He was following us around town, riding a scooter. He went behind one of my friends, and started chanting something, i am not quite sure what it was, because i was not there to hear it, i might of been able to discern it if i was there. He bumped into another friend of mine with his scooter. Pastor Kurt, who was our host for the week, and whose house we stayed at, went up to the young boy, and said, "Is there a problem?" he just stared, with a blank face, it looked like he was getting angry. Then Kurt said, "Then go." and off he went riding his scooter. I sensed a lot of anger, and lonliness inside of him. It was really sad. The strange thing, was that while I was in Salem, i believe it was God speaking to me, (can you please pray for me about this?) saying that I have a calling to do some ministry in Salem, I need confirmation, so could you please pray for confirmation for me? Thank you. On Sunday, we went to church and helped set up, because P. Kurt is renting a elementry school. Can you pray, believing in things that be not as though they were, that P. Kurt would be able to get a church of his own? Thank you. In a week, I have learned that perhaps the most thing he wants is a church of his own, and he is such a good man, i want to see him get a church of his own. I helped at children's church. I controlled the sound, and helped with the sound. I also shared my testimony. After church, we packed up, and went home to see our parents. What a fun week it was, i could have gone a whole other week.
