Dear KKIM/KARS/SHINE family,
May the Lord be with you and yours more than ever this day and all days….
“Can anything good from Nazareth?” Philip answered, “Come and see.” John 1:46
Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Come and see.
See Wilberforce fighting to free slaves in England . . .
Journey into the jungles and hear the drums beating in praise . . .
Venture into the gulags and dungeons of the world and hear the songs of the saved refusing to be silent.
Come and see.

Please pull out your Bibles this morning to the Book of Acts as we drink our CUP together……..
I get comments all the time that many of you keep the CUPS and read them over and over……some of you do not read them until you can be in your quiet place……I pray peace be with you as you drink this CUP…….
The Lord gave me much peace last night as I slept a very warm cozy feeling came over me, this happens to me from time to time as assurance from our Lord that he is with me…….it was such a covering that I want to share it with the World….
There is a moment
between intending to pray
and actually praying
that is as dark and silent as
any moment in our lives……
the greatest obstacle is
the simple matter of beginning.
AMEN! by Emilie Griffin, from Clinging
Please recall when after Pentecost, Peter and John were on their way to the temple to pray. A cripple asked them for money. Instead Peter said to him, “I have neither silver nor gold, but I will give you what I have: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk! (Acts 3:6) When the cripple began “walking and jumping and praising God,” everyone was astonished. But Peter asked them, “Why are you so surprised at this?….It is the name of Jesus which, through our faith in it, has brought back the strength of this man….” )acts 3:12, 16) Peter acted as if healing in the name of Jesus was to be considered a normal occurrence in the life of the Church.
This cure of a cripple brought the early Christians to the attention of the Jewish authorities, who arrested Peter and John for questioning. But the authorities were at loss to know what to do, knowing that “it is obvious to everybody in Jerusalem that a miracle has been worked through them in public, and we cannot deny it” (Acts 4:16)
After their release, Peter and John continued to heal the sick. “So many signs and wonders were worked among the people at the hands of the apostles that the sick were even taken out into the streets and laid on beds and sleeping mats in the hope that at least the shadow of Peter might fall across some of them as he went past. People even came crowding in from the towns round about Jerusalem, brining with them their sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were cured. (Acts 5:12, 15-16)
Please read on………..
It was this ministry of healing that once again earned imprisonment for the apostles (Acts 5:17-18), and it was this ministry of healing that demonstrated the presence of the power of God in the Church. As in the time of Jesus public ministry, healing was not limited to the apostles.
Stephen was ordained as deacon to “wait on tables,” but was also “filled with grace and power and began to work miracles and great signs among the people” (Acts 6:8)
Philip, another deacon, preached the gospel in Samaria with great effectiveness because the people “heard of the miracles he worked or because they saw them for themselves……several paralytics and cripples were cured” (Acts 8:6-8)
This is all taken from my study on healing, this portion taken from Healing, Reflections on the Gospel by George Martin.
The more I become closer to my Lord, the more miracles I see, healing’s of people, like the lady in the wheelchair I prayed over and she walked, to people releasing from anger to depression. I knew a man who touched my life for a short time at WFRN radio in South Bend/Elkhart, In. Pastor Charles Gephart, he was a Ministry Representative for me and grew up in Mpls, Minn and attended Brown College just like me. Charles used to preach in the bars of Mpls! He also went to India to Preach and saw the Blind healed! Charles traveled thousands of miles one week to go see my Mom in Windom, Minn who had cancer to pray over her. I will always be thankful for the life of Charles, he passed away about 15 years ago of bone cancer. He was a wonderful man of God and taught me much, I never was able to tell him fully what he had meant to me. For that I am sad.Charles in his lifetime of service to our Lord saws many miracles take place, and told me of many!
Miracles still happen this day, we must not doubt. I encourage us all to fall deeper in love with Jesus Christ and be overcome by HIS covering. Let the Word of God soak into your heart, soul, and mind like never before.
There is a place of quiet rest,
near to the heart of God;
a place where sin cannot molest,
near to the heart of God.
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
sent from the heart of God,
hold us who wait before thee
near to the heart of God.
AMEN! PRAISE GOD!
“Near to the Heart of God” by Cleland B. McAfee
That hymn was born out of tragic circumstances.Cleland McAfee 1866-1944, suffered the loss of two infant nieces to diphtheria in 1903. McAfee was a preacher and Choir director of the campus Presbyterian church at Park College, Parkville, Mo. His daughter described the account in her book, Near to the Heart of God.
“The family and town were stricken with grief. My father often told us how he sat long and late thinking of what could be said in word and song on Sunday….So he wrote the little song.”
AMEN…My prayer this day is “that little song will bring you much comfort”.
Frank Haley received this update on the condition of Pastor Marvin Capehart, please pray………
MARVIN CAPEHART
is at Tucumcari’s Dan Trigg Hospital & Rehab following a stroke. His
wife Jan has a room at the Hospital so she can be with Marvin. It is
25 miles from Logan, NM where the Capehart’s daughter Colleen and her
husband Pastor Steve Kuhlback live. I spoke to Steve this morning and
he said Marvin has many challenges ahead of him to regain strength. He
is getting an IV to make sure he is hydrated. That helps his appetite.
He must consume more calories in order to get stronger.Cards may be
sent to Marvin Capehart, PO Box 371, Logan, NM 88426.
It would be wonderful if you all would send a card to Marvin and Jan!
Also we have this posted at www.mykkim.com and www.newmexiconewsandviews.com I say that because with those postings we have a picture of our wonderful Godly friend Marvin!
Please let us also pray on this………
Dear Brother Dewey,
Please keep my daughter, Brianne Conner in your prayers for healing. Yesterday, a car hit her when she was
biking to work. She was laying in the street and thought, “I need to get out of the street”, then she
doesn’t know how she got on the sidewalk. I said that an angel picked her up & she agreed because
she has 2 broken wrists, a broken front tooth, & cuts & scapes. UNM did surgery putting pins & a plate
in both wrists. She is a young mother with a 3 yr old & a 10 month old, still nursing. Please keep her
and her family in your prayers for a speedy recovery. Her husband will be very busy and the family will
be helping.
Your sister in Christ,
Wendy Smith
Tajique, NM
We are praying Wendy! God Bless you all!
In the Love of Jesus Christ, Dewey Sharon and Family
