Something way better
SOMETHING WAY BETTER
We are living in exciting times. Many are living exciting lives. Do you ever wonder: Is this all there is? Are we settling for an average life or do we pursue the extraordinary? We believe God has something way better for us. He has already prepared it for you! He wants us to strive for the best. He wants us to never stop believing, never stop learning and never stop asking for more. The gates of Heaven are open wide, and God is willing, but we need to want it. We need to ask boldly. And we need to show that we are ready for more.
We see a generation that is ready. An army, burning with the fire of the gospel of Jesus Christ. And we want to help equip this generation to be all God wants them to be. Help them to find and fulfill their purpose in life. This world is searching for answers and we can bring them the most important of all: Jesus! Let us expect the unexpected. Be ready for the supernatural. We believe there is something new stirring up inside you and it’s something way better than you ever imagined! This is what this year’s POINT CONFERENCE is all about.
1 Corinthians 2:9 No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it— What God has arranged for those who love him.

Artist Watch: Steven Curtis Chapman
Steven Curtis Chapman can be noted as one of the most prolific contemporary Christian artists that has set the mark in Christian music for many generations. His newest single “Where the Bluegrass Grows” grabs back to the deeper roots of Americana and its musical traditions. However, does it work well when you combine it with contemporary Christian music?
No one can deny that Steven Curtis Chapman is indeed a Christian artist that has fully earned all of his stripes. With a whopping all-time record of seven “Artist of the Year” Dove Awards, he can be noted as one of the most popular Christian artists in history. He has sold over 10 million albums, which are together more than 10 times RIAA-certified as Gold or Platinum.
His earliest albums date back to 1987, which contained a song called “Weak Days.” That song already peaked at No. 2 on the Contemporary Christian Music charts in his early career. His biggest musical shift was in 1992, when he started releasing more mainstream Christian music, this resulted in a huge increase of Grammys and other prizes, due to success albums like “The Great Adventure” and “Speechless.”
Over the years he has toured all over the world to share his sound, and to spread the gospel through his gift of music. Steven Curtis Chapman goes now with his newest single “Where the Bluegrass Grows” back to the oldest roots of American culture, Bluegrass music. He masterfully combines the traditional sounds with contemporary Christian lyrics and style. It works surprisingly well and it’s definitely non-conventional.

Artist Watch: Meredith Andrews
Meredith Andrews is without a doubt one of the more experienced female worship vocalists in the industry. With a track record of music releases for over 15 years, she has shown much talent and anointing regarding her ministry of worship leading. She has now released her first live worship album “Faith and Wonders,” but how does it stand to today’s standards?
Meredith grew up in Wilson, North Carolina. It was quite clear early in her life that she was called for the music ministry, when she started singing at the age of six. She spent her whole youth at Christian schools and colleges where she could train her musical talent to reach its full potential. It all resulted in a Dove Award in 2011 for her song “How Great is the Love,” which was chosen as the Worship Song of the Year.
Andrews is now associated as one of the worship leaders at the Harvest Bible Chapel, a megachurch with multiple campuses that are all located in the Chicago metropolitan area. In her role as worship leader for this ministry, she has released multiple albums with the Vertical Worship Band. However, she still had enough time to release her own albums as a solo vocalist. Her newest and first live worship album “Faith and Wonder” is a fine example of that.
Her album combines inspiring and relatable lyrics with touching instrumentation to support a contemplative atmosphere of worship with much quality. The sound is familiar, but still refreshing and modern. Listen now to “Meredith Andrews” on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

Artist Watch: Mayn Maesby
Mayn Maesby is an upcoming urban artist from the Netherlands. Called to tell the world his story about faith, struggles, hardships and love. He does it with a new and refreshing sound that mixes Afro beat with Hip-Hop and R&B. In October 2018 he released his first single “Party” featuring Yxng Effa, which was quickly followed up by his second single “Back & forth” in February 2019.
In his early years Mayn found out he had a passion for music. He wanted to express it, whether it was through dancing, singing or rapping. Most of his teenage friends pursued a rapping and singing career. Mayn however, hid his writing skills to focus primarily on dancing.
“I had crooked teeth for a very long time so I was afraid that people would mock me for that. I was afraid that they wouldn’t find me attractive as an artist. With dancing it is all about your movement, so that was an easy escape to still do something that I really love.”
During his years of establishing himself as a professional dancer, Mayn noticed that many Christian Hip-Hop artists weren’t releasing as many songs on a regular basis compared to secular artists.
“It is quite hard to find something interesting to dance to every time.” This made him decide to start creating his own music, where people could find encouragement through the lyrics. Mayn is convinced that music should also have a positive and happy vibe through the melody and beats.
By mixing popular music styles Mayn Maesby is determined to set a whole new generation on fire for Christ. Listen now to “Mayn Maesby ft. Yxng Effa” on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

Artist Watch: MC Band
MC Band stands for Messengers of Christ, which was founded by John Sappy in 1986. They started in Bukavu, a big city at the eastern edge of the Democratic Republic of Congo. But are now located in Kenya. For over 30 years they’ve produced and performed numerous gospel songs all across Africa.
- Listen to MC Band’s “Your faithfulness.”
In 1986, John Sappy founded the MC Band. He received a vision from God that he should share the Gospel through Music, but he wouldn’t have ever thought that his music ministry would ever reach all across Africa. His brother joined him in his calling and together they form the very backbone of the MC Band.
Over the course of time they’ve added many talented musicians to the band in order to fulfill the calling that God put on their lives in the best way possible. They like to produce Christian music that shows a unique mix of musical styles that is close to their hearts. Music styles like Congolese Rumba, Reggae, Zouk, Afro beat and other local styles are mixed with locally dominant languages like Swahili, English, French and even Arabic to create their unique “African” sound.
MC Band has created six albums thus far, and are now located in Nairobi, Kenya. Over time they’ve established many new partnerships with ministries all across the East African region, where they provide worship for many campaigns. Listen now to “Messengers of Christ” on Maasbach Radio.

NEWGEN KIDS!
Maasbach Radio got to join NEWGEN at the photoshoot for their kids line that is soon being presented to the world.
All of the NEWGEN kids gathered in an empty building in the north of the Netherlands with their best smiles! The shoot’s director, Jesselyn Afriyie, called out a few names and a bunch of kids jumped up to get their outfits. The outfits are fresh designs with inspiring words on them. When I asked some of the kids how they were doing, they all squealed with excitement. “I AM NEWGEN!” a little girl in a tutu skirt and with two buns on her head shouted.
With this new kids clothing line, the NEWGEN brand is expanding their merchandise. And that’s not all. A second adult clothing line for men and women is coming soon together with unique jewelry with a special meaning.

Artist Watch: Tasha Cobbs
Tasha Cobbs is definitely one of the most prominent female gospel vocalists in the industry nowadays. With multiple number one positions in the US Gospel charts and a Grammy in 2010, she can be noted for her success. In January Tasha Cobbs released her newest single “This is a move.” Is this an indication of a new chart topping studio album in 2019?
Tasha Cobbs grew up in Jesup, Georgia, where her parents were the leading pastors of the New Life Ministries. This was the place and environment where Tasha started singing. She was noted as a singing talent and started to lead worship at the Dream Center Church in Atlanta, Georgia.
During this period of her life she also started her solo career in the Christian music industry with the independently self-released album “Smile” in 2010. This release resulted in a contract at Motown Gospel. In 2013 the gospel singer released her EP “Grace” under this label which peaked in the US Top Gospel Albums chart. She repeated that success with her 2015 album “One Place Live” and 2017 album “Hear. Passion. Pursuit.”
She also won a Grammy for best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance and a Dove award for Gospel Artist of the Year. Tasha Cobbs has now released her newest single “This is a move.” Could this indicate her fourth album release, which all were released in the last three ‘odd’ years at Motown Gospel?

More about the message:
There was a famine in the land of Israel and the prophet Elijah came to a widow and asked her for a cake. The woman didn’t have anything anymore and was about to make the last cake for her and her son. Still, she chose to be obedient to the servant of God, and because of that God blessed her. How can I be obedient to God if I’m down to nothing?
Artist Watch: Michael W. Smith
Michael W. Smith can without a doubt be called as one of the greatest legends of contemporary Christian music. We’ve been enjoying his musical gift for over a whopping 35 years. Who hasn’t sung songs like ‘ Let it rain’ or ‘Above all’ in their church worship? Is his newest album “Awaken” the next gem in his rich discography?
There aren’t many Christian artists with such a rich track record as Michael W. Smith. For many Christians nowadays, he is one of the first singers that comes to mind when we speak about contemporary worship music. With having won over 45 Dove Awards, 3 Grammys and an ASCAP “Golden Note,” he can rightfully be noted as a cornerstone of modern Christian music.
As for today, he is still very active as an artist. In 2018 Michael W. Smith released two albums, which once again stated why he could be deemed as the leading Christian artist of several generations. One of those albums was “Surrounded,” a live-worship album with his take on the popular Christian songs of today.
This resulted in a free event at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena in 2018. It all led to his newest experience album called “Awaken.” Listen to “Michael W. Smith” on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

Artist Watch: Tori Kelly
Tori Kelly could be marked as one the most successful artists that managed to break through both secular and Christian music within a short amount of time. After an impressive run of musical successes and even voicing the talented young elephant ‘Meena’ in the 2016 hit animation movie “Sing,” she’s recently been awarded two Grammy Awards for the best gospel performance/song with her latest song “Never Alone,” and her gospel album “Hiding Place.”
Victoria Loren Kelly grew up in Wildomar, California. From early age she already knew that she was destined to be a singer and was exposed by her parent to music of all kinds of genres. In 2004 she participated on America’s Most Talented Kids, which she won. This resulted in her first record deal at the young age of 12.
In 2010 she auditioned for American Idol, but unfortunately couldn’t reach the top 24. She stated that that devastated her, but that she would persevere ‘to give it her all.’ She released in the following years with her own label, Toraay Records, her first EP called “Handmade Songs by Tori Kelly.” This EP made it to the Top 10 Pop Albums on iTunes in 2012.
After this EP, her success went to unimaginable heights with the help of the famous Scooter Braun as her manager. She even voiced the young elephant ‘Meena’ in the 2016 hit animation movie “Sing,” Furthermore, she recently won two Grammy awards for her gospel album “Hiding Place” and single “Never Alone,” which she produced with gospel legend Kirk Franklin.

God has given a measure of faith to every individual. Faith can be seen. But how can we put our faith to work? The Bible says that faith without work is dead. When you speak the word, faith will come alive and revitalize until you are ready to receive the promise of God and claim it for yourself.
Artist Watch: GAWVI
Gabriel Alberto Azucena is better known in the Christian hip-hop scene as GAWVI. He started in 2008 as a music producer for notable artists like Lecrae and Trip Lee, who still collaborate with him on a consistent base. His newest single “Hope You Say” has just been released. Will he introduce a refreshing new sound in Christian music with this one?
When we speak about relatively young, but impactful music careers in Christian music, GAWVI is one of those artists that easily come to mind. With only being active for just over one decade in the Christian hip-hop scene, he has been a consistent music producer for notable names like Lecrae and Trip Lee. He still collaborates with them on a regular basis, but along the way he started out as an artist by himself at Reach Records.
In 2016 he debuted with his extended play “Lost in Hue,” which quickly topped the iTunes top-selling dance album chart. His success only continued in 2017 when his first studio album “We Belong” debuted at No. 19 in iTunes. Furthermore, as a music producer he has won multiple Dove Awards, like for Trip Lee’s album “The Waiting Room” in 2017.
GAWVI has now released his newest single “Hope You Say,” which introduces easy “chill-hop” vibes into the Christian hip-hop scene in a very appealing way that seems quite unique. Is he onto something? Listen to “GAWVI” on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

Artist Watch: Hillsong UNITED
When you would ask a random person to call a famous praise and worship group, Hillsong is by far the name that you’ll hear the most. For over four decades Hillsong have been groundbreaking in their music ministry on a worldwide scale. Their first youth band “Hillsong UNITED” is yet another fine example of that.
The Hillsong ministry was since their beginning in 1983 already notable for their revolutionary style of worship. Over time it proved to be quite successful. It even resulted in a big musical influence in churches from different denominations from all over the world. 1998 was yet another milestone for their music ministry. It was the foundation of their first youth-oriented worship group under the name “Hillsong UNITED.”
Much success followed and the group also had a huge influence on worship music in youth ministries from all over the world. Over the years, the group had many notations on different Christian music charts, but their biggest success by date is still their hit single “Oceans.” This song was released in 2013 and its success even resulted in winning five Dove Awards in 2014.
The group has now released their newest single “As You Find Me,” which is just as immersive as all their previous worship songs. One thing is definitely for sure when we speak about Hillsong UNITED; their consistency in musical quality and anointment is yet again hearable in their newest single. Listen now to “Hillsong UNITED” on Maasbach radio, Spotify and ITunes.

Artist Watch: NEEDTOBREATHE
NEEDTOBREATHE has been one of the most successful ‘Christian’ rock bands in the past decade. Originally from South Carolina, they’ve brought country and rock influences to contemporary Christian pop music. Their album “Hard Love” from 2016 was a worldwide hit in all the music charts. Laurel Daigle’s “Look Up Child” only surpassed this record milestone in 2018.
The band started in 2001 with the brothers Bear and Bo Rinehart, who joined forces with Seth Bolt. From the early years they’ve started to play in front of coffee house audiences at Furman University. Bear was also active as a wide receiver for their football team in that period of the band.
The freshly born band also started to produce independent albums and EPs at that time, which quickly caught the attention of Lava Records in 2004. They even signed the band shortly after taking their interest in them. This resulted in many studio albums and plenty of great notations in the Christian music charts over the years.
Their biggest success by date is their sixth studio album “Hard Love,” which they’ve released in 2016. The album immediately debuted at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart and at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Listen to “NEEDTOBREATHE” on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and ITunes.

Artist Watch: Phil Wickham
Since his debut in 2003 as a contemporary Christian artist, Phil Wickham has brought many wonderful songs to the set lists of many worship bands in the US and far beyond. His ninth studio album “Living Hope” from 2018 was no exception. Phil Wickham has now released the stripped-down version of that very same album in the form of “The House Sessions.”
Coming from a family with a rich past of worship leaders, music was not a strange thing for him during his youth. He already started leading the worship in his youth group at the age of 13. He even released his first album “Give You my World” at the age of 16 in 2003, which provided him the opportunity to sign at Simple Records at that time.
Fast-forward to 2013 and we’ll arrive at his fifth studio album “The Ascension,” which contained the hit song “This is Amazing Grace.” This song became No. 1 in 2014’s Christian Airplay Songs Chart and held the prime spot in Billboard’s Christian National Audience Chart for 13 consecutive weeks! This would just mark the start of Wickham’s golden period in his musical career, which was quickly followed by his ninth studio album “Living Hope.”
Phil Wickham has now released a more intimate and stripped-down version of his album under the name “Living Hope: The House Session,” which contain all of the awesome songs of the original album. Listen to “Phil Wickham” today on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and ITunes

Artist Watch: Passion
Passion can be counted as one of the most influential breeding grounds of future powerhouse worship artists. Songs from former leading vocalists Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Crowder and Christy Nockels are nowadays household names in the set lists of many worship bands from all over the world. Will the current generation of Passion worship leaders have the same impact on us?
It all started in 1995 when pastors Louie and Shelly Giglio decided to organize Christian conferences for college students. In 1997 they held their first big conference in Austin, Texas, with about 2000 students in attendance. In the following years this ministry only grew to conferences with an average attendance of 40.000 students in big stadiums all over the US. The foundation of the record label Sixstepsrecords was another great part of that growth.
This label would also become the home of notable artists like Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, and David Crowder that each fulfilled the role of leading vocalist during the Passion conferences. Chris Tomlin was also involved in the foundation of the Passion City Church in 2008, where Louie and Shelly Giglio are active today as leading pastors.
The former leading vocalists all went their own way and now there is a new generation of worship leaders at the front of the Passion movement. Their names are Kristian Standfill, Brett Younker and Melodie Malone. For 2019 they’ve also released a new live album called “Follow You Anywhere,” which is filled with many fresh and modern praise and worship songs. Listen to “Passion” on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and ITunes.

Are you passionate about the gospel? (John TL Maasbach)
Evangelist John TL Maasbach will easily be one of the most passionate people you will ever meet.
As the International Missions Director of the Johan Maasbach World Mission, John has traveled to over 80 countries big and small to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. ‘How come you are so passionate about the gospel?’ we asked him. It all started with a divine revelation that John had, that showed him he was just as lost and in need of a Savior as the greatest sinner. This fueled a deep love for the lost and to this day drives John TL Maasbach to leave his home and family to preach the gospel to all nations.
Listen to John this weekend on Maasbach Radio as he shares his story with you. We pray you will be encouraged!

Artist Watch: Newsboys
One of the hardest things to do in the music industry is staying relevant over several decades. This is something that definitely succeeded for Newsboys. Since their start in 1985 they’ve managed to find a sound that still sounds modern for today’s standards. Will their newest single “Greatness of our God” announce a new period of success for the band?
In all these years they have produced 17 studio albums, from which 6 are even certified as “gold.” They are also heavily involved with the, from the film franchise derived, “God is Not Dead” missions. Next to that, the band is also involved in Christian charity work like the “If 7:14” project and “Childfund International.”
It all started with two schoolmates: Peter Furler and George Perdikis. They’d started the band with two other teens under the name “The News,” which they quickly renamed it to “Newsboys.”
After 12 years of success with the band, Peter Furler announced in 2009 that he would step down as their lead vocalist. However, he would still stay their primary producer and songwriter. This led to the introduction of Michael Tait, the former lead vocalist of “DC Talk,” in the band. This would become the beginning of another phase of great success with lots of nominations.
Their latest single “Greatness of our God” has now been released, and it even features the reintroduction of Peter Furler as lead vocalist next to Michael Tait! Listen to “Newsboys” now on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and ITunes.

Artist Watch: Lauren Daigle
There aren’t many Christian female vocalists in the last decade that managed to score number one hits on multiple prestigious charts. One thing is for sure: Lauren Daigle has established herself among other very successful Christian music artists and beyond with her latest album “Look Up Child.”
For Lauren Daigle it all started with performing in the choir of her local church from her early childhood. Later, she continued to lead the choir at Louisiana State University. Her musical talent did not go unnoticed and many of her friends and family encouraged her to compete in the tv-show: American Idol. She competed between 2010 and 2012 but unfortunately didn’t manage to come very far back then.
However, this period led to her position as worship leader at North Point Community Church where she recorded her first album. This all resulted in an invitation by Centricity Music, where she was given the chance to sing on Jason Grey’s single “Nothing is Wasted.” Centricity Music later decided to sign her in 2013.
This led to her second full-length album “How Can It Be,” which debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Christian Album Chart in 2015. But nobody would have thought that her third album “Look Up Child” would even exceed the success of ‘How can it be’. Listen to “Look Up Child” today on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and ITunes.

Artist Watch: Bethel Music
Bethel Music is without a doubt one of the most influential worship groups of this generation. With musical powerhouses like Jeremy Riddle and Leeland as former members and current chart-reigning artists like Cory Asbury in their collective, this influence is definitely secured for the upcoming years.
This influence is especially notable for their yearly album release. All of their past albums consist of songs that churches from all over the world still use for their services in some way or another. 2019 will be no exception, and their newest album “Victory” does definitely maintain that high reputation.
The album theme of “Victory” is well illustrated through memorable songs like “Raise a Hallelujah” and “Goodness of God” that will get stuck in your head. Victory also contains surprising songs like “Ain’t No Grave,” that showcases the use of southern country-like influences in a more mainstream “Praise and Worship” style.
“Victory”, the newest album of Bethel Music, is definitely another gem to add to your collection of worship music for 2019. Listen to Bethel Music on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and ITunes.

Artist Watch: Switchfoot
When you think of Christian alternative rock music, Switchfoot is by far the first band that will come to mind. This supreme status was perhaps the biggest reason why fans from all over the world were shocked by the band’s announced hiatus in 2017 after ten successful album releases.
The band originates from San Diego, where brothers Tim and Jon Foreman founded it in 1996 under the name Chin Up. Later Chad Butler joined them on the drums, along with Jerome Fontamillas on the keys and Drew Shirley as the lead guitarist.
On March 30 in 2018 the band announced that they had come out of their hiatus and hinted that “Project 11” was in the making. Nothing seemed to be less true, because this week the band released their eleventh studio album called “Native Tongue.”
The album consists of an interesting mix of tracks with the familiar Switchfoot sounds that we all know and a new experimental journey to find a rejuvenated sound. They show that they’re still relevant and capable of captivating new audiences today. It definitely sounds interesting. Listen to ‘Native Tongue’, Switchfoot’s latest album on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and Itunes.

The secret of the power in the life of Jesus was the obedience of the Word of the Father. This will also be the strength in your life if you stand in faith on the Word of the Father.
Supernatural boldness!
Lysette is not afraid to call you out and tell it as it is. But eventhough she has always been a pretty bold and outspoken person, she learned that God will usually ask you to do something outside of your comfortzone. ‘Why do you think that is?’ we asked her.
“I think it has to do with the heart. God puts desires in our hearts and He waits to see what we do with them.”
- Interview – Lysette
For the full interview with Lysette and her prayer, listen to Maasbach Radio!
When Lysette was a teenager her desire wasn’t after God at all. In fact, she visited a fortuneteller who told her that everything she would do in her life would fail completely: relationships, studies, careers etc. But when Lysette heard the voice of Jesus ask her a question, it was a radical turningpoint in her life. It was from that moment that Lysette realized: this fortuneteller may have known my past, but Jesus is the One that holds my future. And it is bright!
Listen to Lysette’s story on Maasbach Radio this weekend and be encouraged by how God changed her life. She will also pray a special prayer for you!

GAME CHANGER – new MAP song
‘This is a game changer
I’m stepping to another level I believe in You
I believe in You
You are a chain breaker
I’m giving You another level I believe in You
I believe in You’
‘Gamechanger’ the newest song released by the MAP band (Make a point band) was born during a Youth Conference in The Netherlands. Youth pastor Jeconia was speaking on stepping into another level of faith. To believe for the things that we can’t see happening yet, but we trust God for it. Symbolically, Jeconia asked the youth to take a step UP on the stage while pulling yourself up to a rope. It was a symbol of faith put into action. During the time of worship with MAP that followed after this message, Micha Maasbach – the band’s frontman – starting singing the words you read at the top of this article. It was a defining moment and everyone felt it. Micha used this inspiration to write a new catchy song with the intention for every listener of the song to believe: God is able to ‘change the game’. Listen to Maasbach Radio to hear ‘Gamechanger’.
Is there something you’ve been praying for for a long time already? Don’t give up! Don’t get discouraged! God will show up and change the game!

What is the Blessing Pact?
The Blessing Pact, straight out of the principles in the Bible, is the formula through which God is able to supply you in all of your needs.
The Blessing Pact shows us how followers of Christ in the Bible were supplied in all of their needs and how God sustained them in their daily lives, because they gave God what belonged to Him. This principle is still the same for us today. God has not changed and He wants to supply in your needs and sustain you in your every day life.

Bishop Dr. LaDonna Osborn
Bishop Dr. LaDonna Osborn is President and CEO of Osborn Ministries International, the world missionary organization founded by her parents in 1949. We are honoured to have dr. LaDonna minister to us at Maasbach Radio!
- Listen to a powerful prayer by Doctor LaDonna Osborn:
Dr. LaDonna shares powerful truth with us and prays for each listener to have an encounter with Jesus today.
Seeing the miracles radically changed my family. We began going to the nations of the world with the simple message that Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday, today and forever. Here we go as a family of four living with the people, washing our clothes in the river, shopping at the local market, eating the food that’s there. My faith world became very simple: focussed in Jesus. I grew up knowing there was a God who loved all kinds of people. I understood that the most important thing in life is making the decision for Jesus. I knew that God could do anything. I saw miracles every day. Miracles were the norm! That shaped my faith.
Dr. LaDonna talks about how this ‘ministry lifestyle’ shaped her faith and her character:
I did feel odd. But you know when you belong to Christ you really are different. I grew up in a context it was okay to be different. If you don’t know God, your life could be really desperate, but to know Him is wonderful so it’s okay to be different. Without Him is real darkness and pain and disease and sadness. With Him is joy and purpose and health and such peace.
Listen to Dr. LaDonna Osborn share her inspiring teaching on the outpouring of the Holy Spirit this weekend on The Blessing Family Music Station.

Recipe for a miracle

‘Recipe for a miracle’ by R.W. Schambach

More about the message:
A man named Jairus, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with Him to come to his house because his only daughter, was dying. As Jesus was on His way, someone of the ruler’s house came and told them that Jairus’ daughter was dead. Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.” The devil knows when to come around to cause fear to come up in to your heart to doubt the promise of God and to tell you it’s too late to receive a miracle. But God has already provided for you, all you have to do is reach out and take it, and He will give you the desire of your heart.
