Marti Johnson and Rita Grey discuss how God moved upon both of them in a mighty and powerful way as people who simply sought Him with their whole hearts.

They have been friends for years, and have experienced much together in seeking the Lord and leading others to Christ. Their hearts’ desire is to see people filled with the Holy Spirit and living in pure faith in a personal and powerful way. Click to listen.

She was a preacher’s daughter, and yet, she needed a powerful moment with God that would radically impact her life forever. Listen here to the wonderful story of Marti Johnson’s conversion.

There are times when we must wait on the Lord. These times can be much longer than we wish them to be. It is important to continue to trust that God will do what He said He will do. In the case of the birth of Christ, there were prophecies about a righteous ruler that would come to sit on the throne of David, whose kingdom would never end. People hung tightly to those prophetic words. But, it took years before the promise was fulfilled. As you wait on the Lord, be encouraged in your faith. I hope you enjoy this podcast, which aired on WROI on Sunday, November 28th at 7:30 AM. God bless, and Merry Christmas!

This is the audio from the sermon preached at Faith Outreach Center on Sunday, October 3, 2010. Pastor Steve Hohm preached a message entitled: Obedience in Prayer. This is part of the sermon series with a special emphasis on prayer entitled “Transformed: When God’s People Pray.”

Scriptures included in this sermon were:

Ezekiel 8:16-18

Isaiah 59:1-2

I John 1:9

Some of the difficult issues that we face as believers have to do with our own personal walk and life. If we want to be blessed by God, it is important to live before Him in obedience to His will and His word. Trying to get God to bless us, when we are living directly opposite to the way He has told us to live, creates a dilemma for us. We must repent and turn from sin, and live in obedience in order for God to bless us.
