=== Quality Time with God (02:21) ===

[00:00:00]  I could not live without my daily relationship to God.
[00:00:06]  How important is it to have that daily communion with God to talk to him?
[00:00:12]  You know, I couldn't live in this world anymore without, I talk to him almost 24 hours a day.
[00:00:20]  I'm probably a very boring person because I'm really communicating with God most of the time.
[00:00:28]  Really?
[00:00:29]  Yeah, okay.
[00:00:30]  The way to develop that relationship is, first of all, you need to separate quality time with God.
[00:00:40]  In other words, we live in a generation that is being challenged for distractions.
[00:00:47]  Distractions are the number one enemy to that close relationship with God.
[00:00:53]  I go to prayer.
[00:00:54]  What I do is I put my phone away.
[00:00:57]  I turn it off and I want to talk to God because God deserves total quality time and total attention.
[00:01:06]  Focus 100% attention.
[00:01:08]  So the first thing we need to do is give God a quality time.
[00:01:13]  Number two, we need to be committed to that relationship, to walk in obedience.
[00:01:19]  We need to walk into what God says in his word.
[00:01:24]  And I will say that Jesus, Jesus is our example.
[00:01:28]  You will see that Jesus spent hours with God, his father, as men.
[00:01:35]  I'm talking about as men, to develop that relationship with God.
[00:01:39]  And then you see that spend minutes with men.
[00:01:43]  And one day I saw the difference.
[00:01:45]  I say, wait a minute.
[00:01:46]  He spent, the Bible says, and he went away into the mountain and he prayed.
[00:01:52]  And then when he came back, he rose Lazarus from the dead and it took him 30 seconds.
[00:02:00]  And he goes, Lazarus, come forward.
[00:02:01]  And I say, Lord, it was so easy.
[00:02:04]  And the Lord said to me, Yeah, he spent hours with me as a father.

=== Counting Phone Hours (00:27) ===

[00:02:09]  And then when he went out, he already won the victory.
[00:02:13]  So I would say that a lot of people are spending a lot of time with the destruction of this world.
[00:02:19]  And their relationship with God is suffering.
[00:02:22]  Make quality time with God.
[00:02:25]  You being distracted.
[00:02:26]  You being distracted.
[00:02:28]  You and your phone count how many hours you spend on your phone and how many hours you're giving God daily.
