Mucho Problemas is simply translated many problems. You may believe living and breathing seems to be an obstacle course of problems. If so, there is hope. All you have to do is study and accept Jesus at His word!
Today's lesson is termed "Mucho Problemas", for that is life. The only people without problems are the one's in fairy tales. Life has its share of ups and downs. Life can overwhelm you and I at times. Will you believe Jesus to do a miracle in your life?
In this Believing in Miracles series, I teach life application significance related to 40 specific miracles in the bible.
The Holy Spirit is your personal life coach. Studying the bible is an awesome opportunity to be coached by God Himself to reach your next level of spiritual growth.
Jesus cares! To accept that fact opens the floodgates of possibility in your life. He cares about all your difficulties in life. He knows, He cares, and He is ready to be your solution.
We will study the back story, the life significance and then be guided in the art of prayer.
First, The Back Story-
After Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law in Capernaum, Jesus continued to minister healing to a growing number of people with varying illnesses during the evening. The miracles of Jesus are infinite in number. This lesson represents the numerous nameless individuals whom encountered the power of Jesus Christ. The troubles of the many were grouped into two categories- the diseased and the demon possessed. We further learn Jesus healed through laying on of hands and in the power of his words. Many of the demons spoke words affirming Jesus as the Messiah, yet Jesus silenced the demons. Satan was not communicating with submission but with a spirit of confusion and chaos. All whom came were healed by Jesus.
WIIFM- What's in it for me?
Whatever obstacle you are facing today, rest assured your God is bigger! It's not the size of your mountain, but the size of your God that counts, and thank goodness we serve an Almighty God- the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. God has the infinite power to deliver you from sickness, addiction, poverty… no matter what it is, God has already delivered you, and all you need to do is have faith in his power.
Third, The Miracle Prayer of Possibility:
Heavenly Father, I thank you for deliverance. I praise your name for giving me the strength to sustain from any temptation that would bring me harm. Thank you that Your grace is sufficient! Amen.
Here are some great verses for additional study and reference on applying this miracle lesson into your life

You have a Voice: Live Online Discussion Forums
One of the benefits of having such easy access to the economic exchange of ideas we call the internet is that it is universally empowering. Having a tool that allows you to read and compose your thoughts, then publish them, has huge consequences, especially for the younger generations who have never grown up knowing what it feels like to not have anywhere to turn for this kind of social discussion or exchange. No matter how badly written a blog post is, you can almost bank on the fact that it will be read by someone, somewhere, and might even garner a response. Sometimes, the mostly poorly written posts, riddled with atrocious spelling errors, can even attract the most comments. This guarantee of attention is, to some degree, a huge influence on the way that social media sites are structuring their social discussion forums.
By chasing a passion for freedom of speech and empowerment, these websites are looking at environmental, social, and other factors in order to create space on the web that encourages comedy and intellectual discussion. They are both necessary. Web debates and discourse can often turn ugly, and maintaining a sense of humor can keep us focused on the pursuit of truth and mutual respect. One of the most effective ways of fighting against injustice and ignorance is by building communities and befriending other people with whom you can connect. It is this sense of connection that can bring about real organization, which leads to the possibility of real change in the world. These websites are important because they allow us the ability to do just that - transform our own sense of identity into one that is powerful in order to turn communities into agents of change.
Feeling like you don't have a say in the way that things are going in the world, and even in your own life, is a rough burden to carry. Many of us experience it at one point or another - most of us in our teenage years. Blogging using social media sites is a great way to start combating feelings of helplessness and voiceless frustration, both inside and outside of yourself. This is a way that you can connect to your inner power. The more aware a website is of the potential it has as a cyberspace to create opportunities for that power of self-expression to arise, the better it is. Social media sites are among the most aware sites available on the web right now, and they are inspirational to view as innovative trail blazers helping to create a better, more powerful internet for stronger, more powerful people. You have a voice. Live online discussion forums are just one popular and easy way of accessing it.

Top Four Things to Stop Wasting Time On
I personally cannot stand wasting time. We only have a limited amount of time during the day, and a limited amount of time on this earth, so why would anyone want to waste their life? Now I'm not saying that we should all try to be working or productive 24/7, we all need to have fun sometimes, but there are so many lazy people in the world that they probably don't even realize that they're wasting their life, which they'll regret when they get older. Here are some of the biggest ways people waste times:
1.) On The Internet- Don't get me wrong here, I love the internet, and actually spend a lot of time on the internet. The difference between what I do and what I'm mentioning is that I try to spend my time on the internet as productive as possible. I do use it for non productive things sometimes, but I try to counter that with productivity by writing, reading, learning, and trying to add some supplement income like I'm doing right now by writing this. What I'm talking about here are the people that sit on facebook.com all day, or play games, or things like this. I also use Facebook.com as I feel it's important to keep in touch with people from the past, but I try not to waste any time on there. A good rule of thumb there is to not log in unless you want to message someone, or someone messaged you (sign up for email alerts).
2.) Television- This is probably the biggest waste of time in the history of humans. So many people waste so much time a day watching TV, and if you research what your brain activity looks like while you read, and while you watch TV, you'd be amazed. I do watch TV occasionally, but I have cut down on the amount of TV considerably, and I think I'd be better off if the cable was canceled, especially since if there's anything I do want to watch, I can usually find it online.
3.) Video Games- Kids especially, waste so much time playing video games. I'll admit, I used to play video games a good amount when I was Middle School, and early high school, but as I got older I realized they weren't so fun anymore, and I'm glad I did. After living so long without them, I actually decided to try them again, and its just not the same. I'm really glad that I don't find them fun anymore, as they're such a huge waste of time. They can be fun, but I like to spend my "wasteful fun time" doing stuff with other people, or going outside or leaving the house
4.) Texting- People waste so much time on their cell phones. The same conversation taking place through text messages could be accomplished in about 30 seconds if you just called the person. The purpose of text messages were to tell someone a quick note like Don't forget the meeting, but since people use it for full drawn out conversations, it's just become a huge waste of money and time.

Thinking Of Dieting - The Genotype Diet
There are literally dozens and dozens of <a href="http://www.wineinyourdiet.com/diet_plans_and_menus.php">diet menus and plans</a>, some of which place a major emphasis on <a href="http://www.wineinyourdiet.com/my_wine_diet_articles.php">wine.</a> The Genotype Diet, created by Peter J. d'Adamo, is not one of them, and makes no special mention of wine. Let's look at it anyway.
The Genotype Diet centers on the interaction between genes and the environment. According to d'Adamo food may be used to change your genes' behavior. He classifies alll people into six genotypes: hunters, gatherers, teachers, explorers, warriors, and nomads. The hunter's diet is carnivorous and low in glutens and lectins. The gatherer's diet is low in glucides and protein-rich. The teacher's diet is rich in phytonutrients. The explorer's diet is quite varied. The warrior's diet is rich in glucides and phytonutrients, and the nomad's diet is omnivorous but low in glutens and lectins. Here are some of the Genotype Diet principles.
If you wish to follow this diet, the first thing to do is determine your genotype. To do so requires two calculations that depend on the relative size of your bust and your legs, as well as that of your index finger and your ring finger. The rules are too complicated and long to restate here. Once you know your genotype access the appropriate lists of recommended foods, foods to avoid, and portion size. Once again, these lists are long. Under the advice of your doctor take supplements. Practice sports, the most appropriate sports will depend on your genotype.
The Genotype Diet has the advantage of allowing the consumption of all food groups. It relies on good dietary habits over the long run rather than short-term restrictions. One disadvantage is the total lack of scientific evidence to support it. This disadvantage is not unique to the Genotype Diet.
Here is a sample menu, one destined for nomads: For breakfast have a slice of whole grain bread, an egg, a slice of Camebert cheese, a fruit salad composed of strawberries, raspberries, and kiwis with a cup of tea. Lunch means grated carrots and sea cabbage with salmon. For supper enjoy asparagus in a vinegar based dressing, 150 grams (about 5 ounces) of turkey, grilled eggplants, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a pear.
You won't have any trouble finding a Genotype Diet book on the Internet. A quick search even unearthed a video featuring the author, D'Adamo himself. To be honest, I have yet to see it. Perhaps if he gave more accent to wine, as some other diets do, I would have taken a peek.

Traits of an Effective Leader
Leadership may seem difficult to distinguish. It is easily recognizable but quite complicated to explain. It is a crucial factor in any corporate entity. Leaders are expected to instill discipline and organize the structure so the enterprise will prosper. However, only competent managers can accomplish these complex tasks. You need to acquire leadership skills to turn out into adept managers.
The first is to build trust. This is the nucleus of leadership. Subordinates look forward to leaders for purpose, direction and motivation. The leader is the role model in an organization. In fact, leaders can make the organization successful or bring it down. Employees, who feel that managers are upright and capable, are inspired to work harder. On the contrary, inept leaders will certainly not be followed by subordinates.
An effective leader is also an excellent communicator. An intelligent person who has no communication aptitude is most likely a mediocre manager. Communication abilities will allow you to interact with co-workers, other managers, clients, and stakeholders in the company. A good leader also needs to build a macro perspective which encompasses the organization's future. Learn from past experiences and see how everything is working at present to pursue a bright future.
Practice the concepts that you preach. It is not enough to speak about positive work attitude, proper business principles and wholesome relationships. Convince subordinates that you are capable of practicing these theories and convince everyone to work harder for the welfare of the company. Motivate the persons under you to strive and in doing so, enhance personal development. Inspired workers are inclined to become more productive.
Leaders must recognize achievements of staff members. You need to extol others for accomplishments but maintain a low profile for your own feats. The true leader will never claim credit for what a colleague has done. On the contrary, you must accept responsibility for anything that goes wrong and work quickly to remedy the problem. Competent leaders are concerned about the success of staff members and look into the advancement of peers.
A leader should have an exceptional character and be relied upon to lead other people. You need to be upright and show integrity. There should be a great deal of enthusiasm in your work. Subordinates will react more candidly to someone with passion and commitment. The leader should be a source of encouragement and energize others toward a mandatory act or cause. You should be perceived as leading the team working towards company goals.
