Send us Fan MailThis is the continuation of our series on the "5 Heavenly Crowns". If you remember, we did two crowns already. We did the "Crown of Life and the Imperishable Crown". In this episode, we will talk about the Crown of Rejoicing.Our main verse for this devotional can be found in 1 Thessalonians 2:19. The Holy Spirit also wants me to share Luke 15:7 and Revelation 21:4. God is so good. It is so good to think that He is reminding us that even if I mentioned different verses they all have the same message and that is God loves us so much and when our life here on earth is over that we can look forward to the Crown of Rejoicing where we can be in God's presence and experience joy, peace and happiness that can only be achieve through Christ alone.God loves you so if you haven't accepted Him don't wait. Tomorrow is never promised. He loves you and He is waiting for you to Come to Him or Come back to Him.Here is the link to our past episode that I mentioned in this devotional:S2 D.R #7 The Parable of The Lost SheepWe would love to hear your thoughts on this topic and the question that we want to leave you is this: Why do you think this Crown means to you or your life? Feel free to answer this question by going to any of our media links from below.Connect with us through our Social Media Links:Email us at cometojesuswithannette.mahal@gmail.comTwitter and Instagram: @AnnetteMahalFB: Come to JesusYou can also send us a voice message if you are listening in Spotify or by sending your questions or comments to (571)601-0067. Thank you again for listening and always remember to Come to Jesus Daily!

In John 5:39–40 (NLT), Jesus tells Bible‑loving people, “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.”

In John 5:31–38 (NLT), Jesus talks about the witnesses that testify about Him—John the Baptist, His own works, and the Father Himself. Yet He tells the religious leaders that they don't have God's message in their hearts because they refuse to believe in the One He sent.

If you have ever thought, “God feels far away,” you are not alone. Many believers know God is real, but still struggle to sense His nearness in everyday life. In this episode, Louise Reid and Ali McFarlane talk with Matt Johnson about a practical, relational way to encounter Jesus, grow revelation of God, and learn to notice His presence in ordinary moments.What you will learn in this episodeHow to become aware that Jesus is with you, even when you feel nothingA simple way to reconnect with God using your “memory muscles”Why joy and laughter matter in spiritual healthHow to help children build secure connection with Jesus earlyHow Emmanuel-style ministry helps people encounter Jesus, not just talk about HimChapters00:00 Intro: “Knowing God” and fresh revelation02:10 Ali on losing singing, gaining new revelation08:56 Louise on carrying God's presence and why it matters15:24 How to reconnect with Jesus using memory and simple prayer26:01 Joy is the Atmosphere of Heaven35:19 Final encouragement: enjoy God foreverEpisode SummaryLouise Reid shares a life message that many believers need right now: carry the presence of God so people get a revelation of Jesus just by being near you. She explains that connection with God often begins with a simple shift, becoming aware that Jesus is already with you. From there, she encourages believers to remember moments where they felt close to God and to “chew” on those memories, because remembrance can reawaken hunger, faith, and expectation.Ali McFarlane adds that Louise is “shiny,” meaning her life clearly shows time spent with Jesus. They also talk about how encounter ministry can help people experience Jesus personally. Louise describes Emmanuel-style prayer as “midwifing” an encounter where Jesus does the work, and the person walks away saying, “Jesus is amazing,” not “That counselor is amazing.”A key thread in this conversation is joy. Louise highlights the kindness of God and the humor of God, reminding listeners that the gospel is good news. They also talk about how laughter helps people connect, and how a joyful atmosphere can make hard conversations safer and more fruitful. The episode closes with a simple invitation: stop striving, start noticing, and learn to enjoy God, because we were made for relationship with Him.Quotes from the Episode:“Becoming aware of His presence changes everything.”“Remember a time you felt close to Jesus, then talk to Him about it again.”“The gospel is good news. Why are we so miserable?”“I love helping people encounter Jesus, then they leave saying, ‘Jesus is amazing.'”Resources mentioned“Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him for ever” (Westminster Shorter Catechism, Q1).Emmanuel prayer approach (inner healing and encounter-focused ministry)PowerTV.app - Podcast power resources and activations (36:11)If this episode helped you, share it with a friend who feels distant from God. And comment your biggest takeaway: What helps you notice Jesus in everyday life?

In this episode of This Is Kingdom, Grace, TJ, Talon, and Hollis study Know Who You Really Are and talk about confidence, identity, and the quiet ways we forget what is true about us. Through stories from scripture, seminary, and everyday life, they explore how insecurity grows when we search for validation in the wrong places, and how healing begins when we remember whose we are. The conversation highlights the power of the words we speak over ourselves and the difference it makes when we stop listening to the loudest voices around us and start listening to God.This episode is a reminder that your identity is not something you have to earn, it is something you are meant to remember. With practical insights on prayer, journaling, and creating space to actually commune with God, the hosts invite listeners to seek validation vertically, let God rewrite the narrative in their mind, and start believing the story He is telling about them. Because when you know who your Father is, you begin to see what is possible for your life.Chapters:00:00 INTRO05:07 "Intentional Prayer and Reflection"09:18 "God's Perspective on Insecurities"12:09 "Garrett's Unexpected Football Journey"14:28 "Walking with Jesus Daily"

Send us a textThis is a special devotional reading that I recorded for my best friends Rochelle, Nouke and Detris.  The devotional that I felt God wants me to share and dedicate to my friends and anyone who are celebrating their birthdays either today or this month are two of my life verses. The 1st verse that the Holy Spirit wants me to share is from Proverbs 3:5-6 and the last verse is Jeremiah 29:11. God wants me to remind everyone to Trust God and know that He wants what is best for us because He wants us to have a future and a hope that we can only get through Him.I also would like to say thank you to Annette for being my sister in Christ and doing this podcast with me and thank you to all our family, friends and all of our listeners and supporters who had been supporting us for four years now. We wouldn't be able to do this without God and all of you so thank you and my birthday wish is that God gives us wisdom to share God's message to all of you. Again, Happy birthday to everyone who are celebrating their birthday this month.Connect with us through our Social Media Links:Email us at cometojesuswithannette.mahal@gmail.com Twitter and Instagram: @AnnetteMahal FB: Come to Jesus You can also send us a voice message if you are listening in Spotify or by sending your questions or comments to (571)601-0067.

At first, Rob's friends thought he was avoiding them. They'd ask him to go somewhere and he'd say, "Sorry, I can't." Eventually he told them why he couldn't go. He had something much more important to do. He would just say, "I've got to go to my meeting." Not too many teenagers would choose going to a meeting over going with their friends, but Rob made a good choice. See, Rob is a teenage drug addict, and he's being rehabilitated through a 12-step program modeled after Alcoholics Anonymous. One important key to fighting his problem is attending that support group meeting several times a week. A few months ago he went back to cocaine. He had stopped going to the meetings. Actually, all of us addicts, like you and me, will only make it if we make the meetings. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Meeting Jesus, Daily Light." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Mark 1. I'm going to begin reading at verse 35, as we get a look inside some of the intimate side of the life of Jesus Christ. It says, "Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed." Simon and his companions went to look for Him. And when they found Him, they said, 'Everyone is looking for You.' Jesus replied, 'Let us go somewhere else - to the nearby villages - so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.' So He traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons." Now, in this passage, Jesus is doing what He does repeatedly in the gospels. He is modeling the highest priority of a busy schedule. And here is His highest priority - a regular one-on-one meeting with the Heavenly Father. If Jesus did it, we cannot possibly say we've got an excuse for not doing it. Scripture is filled with examples of this. Moses getting up to meet God in His tent of meeting. David saying, "Early will I seek You. Satisfy us in the morning with your love." You see, we need our meeting because of our addiction. We're all earth addicts; we're hooked on this world's ideas. We're hooked on this world's entertainment. We're hooked on this world's ways of treating people. We're all sin addicts as well. After following Christ for a while, Paul says, "The things that I want to do, I do not do. The things I don't want to do, I keep on doing" (Romans 7:15). We're addicted to sin. We're addicted to earth. Now, the 12-step dependency programs recognize that you can't change without regularly going to the support group meetings. Now, our support group is a support person. We cannot stay away from sin unless we have our meeting - yeah, our meeting with God - regularly. The day you skip your meeting is the day you start to slip. We're not talking about some legalistic ritual where you have check the box Christianity: read my Bible and prayed. No, not doing your duty. It's a love thing. I must be with my Lord because I love Him; I want to be faithful to Him, not unfaithful. I need to plug into His power this day, picking up fresh manna for this day, getting His daily dose of strength for this day, getting His guidance for this day. I need that to fight my addiction to sin this day and my addiction to earth stuff. Yeah, today. See, I've been hooked on things that hurt me, things that hurt others, things that hurt God. We were all addicts, and we just can't afford to miss those meetings. So, did you show up for yours today?

I pray blessings to all of us as God has blessed us with another year of our lives. As God blesses us, I also pray that you all continue to bless other people around you and that your goal is to draw closer to God. If you haven't accepted Christ in your life, don't wait for tomorrow because tomorrow is not promise and the best gift you can give yourself is to accept God's gift of salvation in your life.I also would like to say thank you to Annette for being my sister in Christ and doing this podcast with me and thank you to all our family, friends and all of our listeners and supporters who had been supporting us for four years now.

The verse that the Holy Spirit wants us to read and talk about can be found in 1 Corinthians 9:24-25.This year, let us race with endurance and race with one goal in mind not just for this year but our main goal in life is to finish the race with Jesus and to know that at the end of the race which is our life that God has a reward waiting for us and that is eternal life which can only be won by His children. As a child of God, not only one winner wins but we all win because we are His children.To be a child of God, you have to run the race of life, and my prayer is that if you haven't accepted Him yet that you won't wait but do it now.

John the Baptist pointed to the true Light — Jesus — yet many did not recognize Him. In John 1:6–13, we're reminded that all who believe and accept Him become children of God. We'll reflect on the importance of keeping our eyes, ears, and hearts open to Jesus so we don't miss Him in our daily lives.

Send us a textFor our devotional today, we will be reading from Luke 2:8-12. In these verses God wants to remind us, that the Good News of Christmas that the angels said to the shepherd's is still true until now. The Good News that they received from the angels are also the Good News that God wants to give us not only for Christmas but good news for our lives. I pray that if you haven't accepted Jesus' gift of salvation in your life that you won't wait and that you will unwrap it. Let us accept His gift because it is free for us but it's not free for Him. Remember to keep Christ this Christmas.During the devotion, the Holy Spirit reminded me that if you haven't had a chance to listen to our devotional on the "Lost Sheep" or if you want to hear it again you can do so by going to: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1902364/episodes/12609056We would love to hear your thoughts on our devotional and our new series.

Send us a textFor our devotional today, we will be reading from Luke 1:41 and 42. In this verse God wants to remind us, what is the Greatest Miracle of Christmas which will be our theme for this month. Our prayer is as you celebrate Christmas with your family that you will remember that God's gift of salvation in your life. Just like Mary and Elizabeth was called by God, you are also got a calling in your life, but it is up to you to hear and obey Him. Remember that God's gift to us is free but it is not free for Him because He gave it all when He gave himself to die in the cross because He loves us. Just like when someone gave us a gift, and it is up to us if we want to accept it or not. It is the same with God's gift to us. My prayer is that Christmas you will accept God's gift of salvation because tomorrow is never promised.I hope this devotional blesses you and stay tuned for our Special Christmas episode and Special Guests who will share what they think about the Greatest Miracle of Christmas. We also want to say thank you for listening and supporting us for four years now since we published our 1st episode and to our new supporters and listeners to our show, we want to say thank you. We would love to hear your thoughts on our devotional and our new series.

Discipleship isn't a title; it's a trail.When Jesus walked the shores of Galilee, He didn't hand out pamphlets or build a following through social media. He looked a few fishermen straight in the eyes and said two words that changed everything:“Follow Me.”That's it. No marketing pitch. No promise of comfort. Just a call — and an invitation to leave everything behind for something greater.Following Jesus isn't about location — it's about direction. Every disciple starts the same way: walking away from self and walking toward the Savior.I still remember the day that truth hit home. I'd been a Christian for years, but I was still driving the car while asking God to bless my route. Then one morning, the Holy Spirit convicted me hard: “Matthew, I can't lead what you won't surrender.”That's when I realized being a disciple isn't about asking Jesus to walk with me; it's about me walking wherever He's going — even if it's uncomfortable.Michelle and I have lived this out over and over. From ministry highs to financial struggles, from seasons of clarity to moments of silence — we've had to decide: Will we trust Him when the map runs out? Will we still follow when it costs us pride, plans, or comfort?The answer had to be yes — because discipleship is not a once-a-week commitment. It's a daily death and daily resurrection.Luke 9:23 says, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”Notice that word — daily. Discipleship isn't about perfection; it's about persistence.You won't get every step right, but every step you take with Jesus changes you. The disciples weren't perfect men — they argued, doubted, ran, and failed. But here's the difference: they kept following.Every day, you and I wake up in a world screaming, “Follow your heart.” But Jesus says, “Follow Me.” And that one command flips everything.When you follow your heart, you'll end up lost. When you follow Jesus, you'll find your heart's true home.Maybe your path today looks uncertain — your marriage tested, your kids wandering, your faith stretched thin. Following Jesus doesn't mean you won't face storms. It means when the wind howls, you've got the One who commands it walking beside you.When Michelle and I look back at the times we tried to carry everything ourselves — our ministry, our dreams, our disappointments — we see the same pattern. Every time we surrendered control, peace came back. Every time we followed His whisper instead of our worry, doors opened we didn't even know existed.That's what discipleship looks like — obedience over outcome.

Send us a textCraig is a seasoned freelance video producer with over fifteen years of experience.
