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...

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 mann...
2010-04-0703 minJoe Prainito Audio DevotionalWagon CommercialWe’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...
2010-02-0503 minJoe Prainito Audio DevotionalFlea MarketWell, 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...
2010-01-1603 minJoe Prainito Audio DevotionalKingdom Minded Video PodcastThis 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?
2009-12-0504 minJoe Prainito Audio DevotionalSay CheeseWe'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...
2009-11-2002 minJoe Prainito Audio DevotionalI Hate ThatHave 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 s...
2009-09-3003 minJoe Prainito Audio DevotionalTwittering GodHow 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...
2009-08-2903 minJoe Prainito Audio DevotionalKnock Knock JokeIn 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 sa...
2009-07-3103 minJoe Prainito Audio DevotionalYodeling PrayerHave you ever tried to reach God in a more intimate way but didn't know how? Have you perused the aisles of your local book store, looking for a new and in depth method of prayer and worship in an effort to get Gods attention? Maybe you've even gone to the extents of learning to Yodel to God. Too often we think that God is looking to be impressed by our great extravagantefforts to reach Him in a new way with new methods, when in reality God just wants us to spend time with Him, yes, the key to the L...
2009-06-1903 minJoe Prainito Audio DevotionalAirline FoodI always wondered what an airline flight would be like without the food carts. What if the Plane took off, and left the food cart on the airport tarmac? Would it be chaos? Would there be screaming? Who knows, every flight that I've been on has always been nicely stocked with sodas, coffee, and enough peanuts to feed an elephant. But the question still remains, what if? Have you ever found yourself easily stressed, anxious, worried, and well let’s face it, even overreacting when the trials and hardships of life arise? It's easy to worry about what we'll ea...
2009-05-2703 minJoe Prainito Audio DevotionalA Bad Wedding DayWe've all heard of the many times that men and women have been left standing at the wedding altar and walking away without their hopeful marriage. I have even heard of people getting cold feet as they were reciting their vows, and suddenly backing out of the wedding altogether. This leaves their fience' with crushed hopes and dreams, and a life that was supposed to be a "Happily ever after" style life is suddenly crushed. So let me ask, has this ever happened to you? Now, maybe it hasn' lt happened to you in marriage, but what about in your rel...

You know the ones; these shows that take telephone calls from people who are desperately wanting to have their voices heard when all the while, there problems are left unsolved. There are many of these programs that are riding and thriving on the airwaves. Yes we live in a time where people are begging to complain and wine on the air in front of thousands of people, and why? Because they want to be heard and they want others to identify with them. Unfortunately these programs are doing nothing more than ex...

Up and down, loop de loops, and finally you think to yourself "I should have just went on the Carousel". Yes the Rollercoaster can be a scary and sickening adventure but there is one thing that is always reassuring, and that's the fact that there is an operator of the ride who knows the track like the back of his hand; he knows when the ride goes up and down. The operator of the ride knows when...
