A lot of effort goes into Spring cleaning. Dusting off the cobwebs that were long once hidden by the dark and dismal days of winter are now clearly seen by the  sunshine. Our homes aren't the only things in need of some dusting off.  Listen to today's podcast and be encouraged to take some time to cleanse your soul!!

Before becoming a truly committed Christian I critically watched other believers thinking they were faking their encounters with God. It was only after my own pursuit of Him did I realize that they weren't faking at all. Anyone if you're willing can grow and have a personal intimate relationship with Him. Today's podcast is about growing in faith!

The Lord know we need a comforter!

Easter is done and what now?  

Listen to a walk through Holy Week!!

Behold He makes all things new!

Many things can prevent us from pursuing Jesus for what we need.  Take a note from the story of a Canaanite woman who pursued Christ and got we she asked for.

Women have made a significant impact in the world but also in biblical history.  Hear about a few of these women in this weeks podcast!

These three words can change your life and increase your faith!

Every year in excess of a billion Christians observe Lent but that number does not include all Christians.  For six weeks those that do submit themselves to a period of self-examination and reflection.  They fast, sacrifice and pray. It is a time to pull away from worldly comfort and seek more of Christ.

Come listen to what God says about love!!

Acceptance is not about color but it's about seeing others with the love of God! 

If ever there was a time we needed disciples of Christ we sure could use them now!

This week as I reflected on Dr. Martin Luther King , a social activist, Baptist minister, a part of the American civil rights movement, Nobel peace prize recipient, husband, father, and friend to many, I couldn't help but ask myself; what drove this man to forsake personal pleasure to pursue something he deemed far greater than himself?

A lot has happened over the past week and as I asked God what to focus on today it became clear as I spoke to a number of people regarding the unrest in our nation on January 6, 2021. 

I'm not sure how I failed to post this on New Year's but it is appropriate that I post it today. Whether you've set goals or still pondering what you want to achieve it's important that you put God first. It doesn't matter how difficult the goal you've set or whether you've already failed in your attempts, know that God is able to put you on the right track.  Your goal is waiting on you!

The events of January 6, 2021 left me heartbroken and heartsick.  Sitting in prayer, God revealed something to me that I've come to realize more and more...

Christmas is a special time. It's the time we think about the one true gift we have all been given--the gift of life through the Son, Jesus Christ. 

We have learned that time is not always guaranteed. We have learned to value and cherish time with those we love. Most importantly we have learned to find joy in the little things. God is present always and when we choose to feel God's presence, we experience joy. 

Peace is wholeness … it’s about being complete. That completeness points to only one person, the personhood of Jesus Christ, himself. Our faith in Jesus Christ is peace, the ultimate peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding. No matter what you are going through, he is right there with you.

The year 2020 will go down in the history books as a year so many of us realized just how much we need Jesus in our lives. When God is the center of our lives, so are hope and joy. As we enter into the Advent season, let's remember how important hope is to us all.  

In this week's podcast, I'm going to share with you a story about my sister. I hope you will think of your own family and friends and remember to give God thanks for how He has blessed you this year--even through the most tumultuous year in modern history.

If you want to get through emotional upheaval and panic, you've got to trust the Lord. Please plan to join me for my webinar on Saturday, November 7 at 10:30am. Follow the link to register: https://www.mamiejohnsonministries.org/events/gods-rescue-for-panic

Even in the fear, even in the unknown, even in the panic, God through His Word provides the rescue. In this life, there is nothing we will experience or face that God cannot help us through. Jesus is the remedy that heals our mental anguish and disease. Only when we make a conscious choice to accept the remedy will we receive the cure.
