Dewey,

We need more prayers for Gail. She is back in the hospital with a temp. and dehydration. Very frail and not of positive=2 0emotions. Please pass this on.
I just came from one of my accounts where I do business with these wonderful people who were the first to help me in my business. Bob Wash is a picture framer at the store and loved by everyone he comes in contact with. Tammy (the owner) and Ari, told me Bob has pancreatic cancer and is in very bad shape.
No treatment for him as he also has an aneurysm right next to the tumor on his pancreas which is right next to his heart. He has lost 30 lbs and is not in good shape at all. I am so overwhelmed with grief for these wonderful people. I will leave it to our Dear Lord’s hand’s and pray for peace and comfort.
Thank you Dewey. Also Ari’s grandmother has congestive heart failure at 89 and in severe pain. These wonderful people need our Lord’s comfort and prayers.
Thank you all, and God Bless.
Nicole

Please keep Gail, Bob, and Ari’s Grandmother in your prayers….and Nicole, she is such a wonderful Angel of God.

Please pray for Ivette Flores of Albuquerque as she prepares for surgery. She is so thankful for your prayers.

This from Congressman/Pastor Bill Redmond……..

Vote on same sex marriage has been moved to this Monday, February 2, 2:00 Room 321. Keep up the prayers. Keep up the phone calls to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee 505-986-4300. Start calling at 11:00 on Monday. Speak the truth in love. We want to win persons not arguments.

Bill also sent this reading from Henry Hyde………

“ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER AS YOU SEE THE DAY DRAWING NEAR.”

By Congressman Henry Hyde:

“When the time comes as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I’ve often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God and a terror will rip through your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there will be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement. They will say to God , “Spare him because he loved us,” and God will look at you and say not, “Did you succeed?” but “Did you try?”

Dewey,

I really enjoyed your cup this AM. I have a son in college who is not quite a Jesus Freak yet, but he isn’t running in the other direction either, PTL. Anyway, I love to find interesting things to send to him and have just forwarded the cup with Curt Warner stories. Sure wish the main stream media would share such wonderful stories with their broad audience, but BRAVO to you for sharing it with those in your KKIM family and audience. U RAWK!!!

Blessings,
Shona

By the way you can hear Shona this morning at 7:30 on KKIM and Karen Rowe at 7:45 and Dr. Deb at 8:05!

Shalom Dewey,
Messianic Jews and Believers were in the Senate Gallery in Prayer Shawls on Wednesday and stand ready to go to Santa Fe at a moment’s notice too!
Bless G-d for the strong unity of Believers!
Shalom Uvracha (peace and blessing),

And now let’s hear the wisdom of Max Lucado…………..

by Max Lucado

Those who pray keep alive the watch fires of faith. For the most part we don’t even know their names. Such is the case of someone who prayed on a day long ago. His name is not important. He is important not because of who he was, but because of what he did.
He went to Jesus on behalf of a friend. His friend was sick, and Jesus could help, and someone needed to go to Jesus, so someone went. Others cared for the sick man in other ways. Some brought food; others provided treatment; still others comforted the family. Each role was crucial. Each person was helpful, but no one was more vital than the one who went to Jesus.
John writes: “So Mary and Martha sent someone to tell Jesus, ‘Lord, the one you love is sick’” (John 11:3, emphasis mine).
Someone carried the request. Someone walked the trail. Someone went to Jesus on behalf of Lazarus. And because someone went, Jesus responded.
In the economy of heaven, the prayers of saints are a valued commodity. John the apostle would agree. He wrote the story of Lazarus and was careful to show the sequence: The healing began when the request was made.
The phrase the friend of Lazarus used is worth noting. When he told Jesus of the illness, he said, “The one you love is sick.” The power of the prayer, in other words, does not depend on the one who makes the prayer but on20 the one who hears the prayer.
We can and must repeat the phrase in manifold ways. “The one you love is tired, sad, hungry, lonely, fearful, depressed.” The words of the prayer vary, but the response never changes. The Savior hears the prayer. He silences heaven so he won’t miss a word. The Master heard the request. Jesus stopped whatever he was doing and took note of the man’s words. This anonymous courier was heard by God.
John’s message is critical. You can talk to God because God listens. Your voice matters in heaven. He takes you very seriously. When you enter his presence, the attendants turn to you to hear your voice. No need to fear that you will be ignored. Even if you stammer or stumble, even if what you have to say impresses no one, it impresses God—and he listens.
Intently. Carefully. The prayers are honored as precious jewels. Purified and empowered, the words rise in a delightful fragrance to our Lord. “The smoke from the incense went up from the angel’s hand to God” (Rev. 8:4). Incredible. Your words do not stop until they reach the very throne of God.
One call and heaven’s fleet appears. Your prayer on earth activates God’s power in heaven.
You are the someone of God’s kingdom. Your prayers move God to change the world. You may not understand the mystery of prayer. You don’t need to. But this much is clear: Actions in heaven begin when someone prays on earth. What an amazing thought!
When you speak, Jesus hears.
And when Jesus hears, the world is changed.
All because someone prayed.
Thank you my friends for being part of the KKIM prayer family!

Don’t bow to your feelings. Make them bow to your God. Jennifer Rothschild

Many years ago my mentor Ed Moore talked to me about my daily walk with Jesus Christ and how important it was to have folks around me to hold me accountable. After watching Larry King’s interview with Pastor Ted Haggard last night….I want to encourage us to walk with each other and hold each other accountable. Dark things are done in dark rooms……..where God’s light does not shine bad things happen. How close do you come to having dark thoughts and doing dark things?

Look what happened to this wonderful Pastor, Ted Haggard…..he was living a secret life. We can all fall…….Just read the life of David in the Bible…….another reason to have loved ones around us to hold us accountable. Stay in the word of God……..but have others around you to make sure you are staying in the word and also doing God’s word.

Just look what has happened on Wall Street! Yesterday President Obama came down heavy on these big wig’s who have taken millions and at the same time have taken bail out money. It has been a dark, dark world on Wall Street………..Let the light of Christ in!

Our dear friend, State Rep. Janice E. Arnold Jones……..is trying to bring light to the Roundhouse by webcasting legislative hearings. It is now being debated. But read this comment from Rep. Ray Begaye……..and this is HIS WORDS……..”If I’m sleeping and it’s being recorded, that could be used for political gain against me by my opponent.” WOW! AMAZING! I could not believe his words!!!!!

Praise God for people like State Rep. Janice E. Arnold Jones who are trying to bring light to a Roundhouse that needs MORE LIGHT!

“With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

Remember New Mexico…..you have an alternative to afternoon news and talk……..New Mexico News and Views weekdays at 4:30 on KKIM www.mykkim.com
We are actually getting calls from atheists…….yes! Did you know that 40% of those who listen to Christian Radio do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? That is how important the mission of Christian radio is! `

Faith still at core of Warner’s success
Cardinals quarterback goes out of his way to credit God
27 commentsby Paola Boivin – Jan. 9, 2009 12:00 AM
The Arizona Republic

“If you ever really want to do a story about who I am, God’s got to be at the center of it. Every time I hear a piece or read a story that doesn’t have that, they’re missing the whole lesson of who I am.” – Kurt Warner

It has become part of the sports landscape. Athletes congregate on the field after a game to pray or offer a sound bite thanking a higher power.

It rarely makes the news.

Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner understands this. The man who led this organization to its first home playoff game since 1947 knows that discussion about resurrections comes only in the context of career revivals and that tape recorders shut off when faith references start up.

During a visit to The Oprah Winfrey Show, Warner “basically had three sentences to say, so, in the middle one, I made sure I mentioned my faith, because how could they cut it out?” he said. “I went to watch the show on replay . . . and they cut it out!”

Warner, 37, is right. There is dishonesty in telling his story if you ignore what drives him, especially if you accept its role in one of the NFL’s great success stories. In five years, he went from a 22-year-old stock boy at a Cedar Rapids, Iowa, grocery store to Super Bowl MVP. He has morphed again, from unemployed veteran to record-setting starting quarterback with the Cardinals, who on Sunday play in the Super Bowl.

“I wasn’t always this way,” he said.

During his final season at the University of Northern Iowa in 1993, Warner went to a country-music dance bar called Wild E. Coyotes. He spotted Brenda Carney Meoni and asked her to dance. Her immediate reaction?

“Get away. Get away,” she thought.

“Here’s this cute guy in a bar with an entourage of females, and I’m the last person that makes sense for him to go to,” Brenda said. “I’m a divorced woman with two kids, one with special needs. And Kurt’s 21. Twenty-one.”

They danced, and the next day, Warner was knocking on her door with a rose.

“Again, I’m screaming in my head, ‘Go away!’ but I opened the door and said, ‘C’mon in,’ ” she said. “My 2 1/2-year-old grabs him by the hand and shows him every radio we own.

“He fell in love with my kids before he fell in love with me. When we’d have a fight and were going to break up, he’d say, ‘Well I get the kids.’ I’m like, ‘But they’re my kids!’ ”

They stuck together, even when it appeared football wasn’t in Warner’s future. He signed with the Green Bay Packers as a free agent in 1994 but was cut before the season began. He returned to UNI to work as a graduate assistant football coach and spent nights stocking shelves at the local Hy-Vee grocery store. He moved in with Brenda, who was struggling financially and turned to food stamps for a while. They drove a car that died every time it turned left.

He landed with the Arena Football League’s Iowa Barnstormers in 1995 and three years later was signed by the St. Louis Rams, who allocated him to the NFL’s developmental league in Europe. His backup with the Amsterdam Admirals was Jake Delhomme, now the Panthers’ quarterback.

Around this time, Warner began challenging Brenda about her faith. She had become a devout Christian as a 12-year-old after seeing a fundamentalist Christian film called A Distant Thunder (1978). Warner questioned her, suggesting she was picking and choosing her beliefs from the Bible at her convenience. During this exploration, he closely studied the Bible.

“When I did, it was obvious what the truth was,” Warner said.

He committed himself to the Bible’s message. That’s Warner’s way, why he has succeeded in football. He studies, commits, believes.

Before they married, he told Brenda they should follow the Bible faithfully, which meant, among other things, no premarital sex.

“I’m like, ‘Dude, we’ve got so many other things to work on. Why that one?’ ” Brenda, now 41, said, laughing.

They married in 1997. In 1999, he took over as the Rams’ quarterback when starter Trent Green was injured. What followed was two Super Bowls, two MVP titles and a legion of Christian followers.

He was both revered and scorned for his outspokenness about faith. Since Warner’s arrival in Arizona in 2005, and the revival of his career, people here treat his religion with more curiosity than debate. Many were amused by Warner giving an invocation one year at Celebrity Fight Night, a popular black-tie fundraiser for Muhammad Ali’s Parkinson Research Center. Ali is of the Muslim faith.

“I never feel like, ‘Should I say this, or do I not,’ but I do try now to strategically figure out (during interviews) how I can get somebody to include it because it’s so important to who I am,” Warner said.

How does Warner express his faith? He always has the Bible in his hand when he does postgame interviews. He joins players in postgame group-prayer sessions on the field. He loves to engage in spiritual discussions with teammates but says he tries not to be in-your-face about it. He wants the words of the Bible to guide his everyday life.

When he and his family dine on the road, they always buy dinner for another table in the restaurant but keep the purchase anonymous. The children choose the family. Brenda Warner said it’s their way of teaching their kids one of the Bible’s messages: It’s not your circumstances that define you but what you do with those circumstances.

Warner shouldn’t be categorized only one way, Delhomme said.

“Football doesn’t define Kurt Warner, and I think that’s the biggest thing to me. It’s not who he is. Kurt Warner is a lot bigger.”

Added Cardinals defensive tackle Bertrand Berry: “To limit Kurt as a Super Bowl champion would do a disservice to him. I think his legacy will be that he’s just a great human being, and I think that’s the highest compliment that you can give anybody.”

A MUST READ STORY……..

KURTIS THE STOCK BOY AND
BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL

In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice
came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was
almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the
call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the
new check-out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was
only 22) and he fell in love.

Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to find
out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly at him, took her card
and punched out, then left. He looked at her card, BRENDA. He walked out only
to see her start walking up the road. Next day, he waited outside as she left
the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she
accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again,
outside of work. She simply said it wasn’t possible.

He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn’t afford a
baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted
his offer for a date for the following Saturday. That Saturday night he arrived
at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The
baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, “Well,
let’s take the kids with us.”

She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not
taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda, brought him inside to meet
her children. She had an older daughter Jessie, who was just as cute as a bug, Kurtis
thought, then Brenda brought out her son, Zachary in a wheelchair. He was born a
paraplegic with Down Syndrome.

Kurtis asked Brenda, “I still don’t understand why the kids can’t
come with us?” Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman
with two kids, especially if one had disabilities – just like her first husband
and father of her children had done. Kurtis was not ordinary – – – he had a
different mindset.

That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the
movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he
needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him and
brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda
knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life
with.

A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted Jessie and Zachary.
Since then Brenda and Kurtis have added five children of their own: sons Elijah and Kade, daughter Jada, and twin girls Sierra Rose and Sienna Rae.

So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl? Well,
Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona , where he is currently employed
as the quarterback of the National Football League Arizona Cardinals and has his
Cardinals in the hunt for a possible appearance in the Super Bowl. Is this a
surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary person.
Both Brenda and Kurt are active born-again Christians.

It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI.
He has also been the NLF’s Most Valuable Player twice and the Super Bowl’s
Most Valuable Player.

The picture above was taken Feb. 12, 2005 while, then, New York quarterback
Kurt Warner, and his wife Brenda Warner, listen as they are explained the medical
capabilities of the Military Sealift Command (MSC) hospital ship USNS Mercy
(T-AH 19) as they visit an injured Indonesian boy. Warner and his,then, teammate, Giants
wide receiver Amani Toomer, visited the crew and patients aboard the hospital ship.
Mercy was off the waters of Indonesia in support of Operation Unified Assistance,
the humanitarian relief effort to aid the victims of the tsunami that struck Southeast Asia.

Remember:

Life is what is happening NOW. It is
not a rehearsal. Seize the moment!!
Live with PASSION and BLISS!!

I don’t know who you’re pulling for in the Super Bowl……I like the Cardinals…..he’s my kind of guy. geri

From God’s Perspective
by Max Lucado

“We want you to be quite certain, brothers, about those who have died, to make sure that you do not grieve about them, like the other people who have no hope” (Thessalonians 4:13 JB).

The Thessalonian church had buried her share of loved ones. And the apostle wanted the members who remained to be at peace regarding the ones who had gone ahead. Many of you have buried loved ones as well. And just as God spoke to them, he speaks to you.
If you’ll celebrate a marriage anniversary alone this year, he speaks to you.
If your child made it to heaven before making it to kindergarten, he speaks to you.
If you lost a loved one in violence, if you learned more than you want to know about disease, if your dreams were buried as they lowered the casket, God speaks to you.
He speaks to all of us who have stood or will stand in the soft dirt near an open grave. And to us he gives this confident word: “I want you to know what happens to a Christian when he dies so that when it happens, you will not be full of sorrow, as those who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and then came back to life again, we can also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him all the Christians who have died” (1 Thess. 4:13–14 TLB).
God transforms our hopeless grief into hope-filled grief. How? By telling us that we will see our loved ones again.
Isn’t that what we want to believe? We long to know that our loved ones are safe in death. We long for the reassurance that the soul goes immediately to be with God. But dare we believe it? Can we believe it? According to the Bible we can.
Scripture is surprisingly quiet about this phase of our lives. When speaking about the period between the death of the body and the resurrection of the body, the Bible doesn’t shout; it just whispers. But at the confluence of these whispers, a firm voice is heard. This authoritative voice assures us that at death the Christian immediately enters into the presence of God and enjoys conscious fellowship with the Father and with those who have gone before.
Where do I get such ideas? Listen to some of the whispers:
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far.
(Phil. 1:21–23 NIV)
We don’t like to say good-bye to those we love. But if what the Bible says about heaven is true, and I believe it is, then the ultimate prayer, the ultimate answered prayer, is heaven.
It is right for us to weep, but there is no need for us to despair. They had pain here. They ha ve no pain there. They struggled here. They have no struggles there. You and I might wonder why God took them home. But they don’t. They understand. They are, at this very moment, at peace in the presence of God.

Please keep praying for each other and our families!

As a discipline of your heart, learn to be peaceful and safe in God in every situation. Anne Ortlund.

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
