God's favor and Bondservant CUP KKIM/DDC
Dear KKIM Family,
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ
Please keep praying for Brooke, Frank Haley's granddaughter.....We will update you as we hear.
Pastor Leonard Navarre is scheduled to fly out of India tomorrow........please pray
Sharon and I have important meetings this week and maybe into next week......please pray for us.
Yesterday was Sanctity of Life Sunday........Over 50 million babies have been aborted in the US since Roe vs. Wade.......Just think of that! God will not heal our land until abortion is stopped! Imagine how many leaders...teachers.........Presidents........for our Country that God had planned in his book of life.......and then we, the US, aborted them!
What would have happened to all that God had for you to do, and all those you have touched, your family, your friends, your Church, if you had been aborted?
It was great to see Kitty at our Church yesterday! She brightened our day!
Kitty why don't we give away some of that chocolate leading up to Valentines Day on my show?
Doubt wonders, "Have I done enough to go to heaven?" Grace answers, "No, you haven't. But Jesus has on your behalf." Max Lucado
Sometimes our candle goes out, but is blown into flame by an encounter with another human being.~Albert Schweitzer
Who has done that for you? Sharon has for me.
I pray that you had an outstanding worship time yesterday. Oh, I pray that you have a house of worship that you attend........it is all part of God's plan for us to be together in Christ!
There is nothing like having a Church family!
I hear from many.....I tired that once and they chased me away.......or something like I did, but it got to be to clickish......etc.etc.....
I will help you find a Church home.........email me.......
We have so many outstanding Church's in the area! PRAISE GOD!
Yesterday I preached on God's Favor and being a Bondservant for Christ.....
For many months now I have had people come up to me and say, "God's Favor is with you." or "The Favor of God covers you."
When I would hear that I would be a bit embarrassed......also thinking, boy I sure do not want to do anything to mess this up!.......I just want to do what the Holy Spirit is moving me to do........
My Pastor friends, my mentors..... Keep me on my toes..........who does that for you?
So Sharon and I dug into God's favor and being a Bondservant........
When I would hear God's Favor I would also think of people who go nuts and think God's favor mean's material things........
This should not be looked upon as some sort of secret formula for getting everything we want. For purposes of His own, God sometimes takes those He loves through special trials. Job is the primary example but similar instances happen in the lives of many, like you and me. However as we have been saying for the longest time here at the CUP.the closer we walk with the Lord, we will come to dwell in His favor and His favor for life.
I have included plenty of Scripture here for you to study.......Sharon and I pray that you will take the time to read all of it.
Sharon and I are here for you.........Let us all be Bondservants for Christ........
Bond Servants
A Bondservant of Jesus by Oswald Chambers I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me . . . —Galatians 2:20
Is Christ living in you?
25% of the time?
Do you take him to work with you?
These words mean the breaking and collapse of my independence brought about by my own hands, and the surrendering of my life to the supremacy of the Lord Jesus. No one can do this for me, I must do it myself. God may bring me up to this point three hundred and sixty-five times a year, but He cannot push me through it. It means breaking the hard outer layer of my individual independence from God, and the liberating of myself and my nature into oneness with Him; not following my own ideas, but choosing absolute loyalty to Jesus. Once I am at that point, there is no possibility of misunderstanding. Very few of us know anything about loyalty to Christ or understand what He meant when He said, ". . . for My sake" ( Matthew 5:11 ). That is what makes a strong saint.

What does having the favor of God mean?
To favor means to give special regard to; to treat with goodwill; to show exceptional kindness to someone. Sometimes, it means to show extra kindness in comparison to the treatment of others.
However, favor is not always used in a comparative way toward others. It sometimes simply means that the one favored is shown kindness and treated with a generosity and goodwill far beyond what would normally be expected. This is generally the favor that we receive from the Lord. We are treated much better than we could expect. Of course, every believer is favored to some degree. Therefore, we must understand God's favor in degrees. The more we please God, the more we will be favored by Him. Also, it is important not to think of this favor in material or worldly terms. God's favor most likely will be given in spiritual blessings more than in material blessings. Here are some of the ways by which we obtain the favor of the Lord:
By praying unto the Lord (Job 33:26).
By keeping the commandments of the Lord (Proverbs 3:1-4).
By seeking and finding God's wisdom (Proverbs 8:35).
By diligently seeking good (Proverbs 11:27; 12:2).
By living righteously (Proverbs 14:9).
There are many benefits of being in the favor of the Lord. Here are some of them:
Our petitions are more likely to be granted (Esther 7:3).
God will compass us with a shield (Psalm 5:12).
We will receive life (Psalm 30:5).
Our enemies will not triumph over us (Psalm 41:11).
God will show mercy (Psalm 119:58).
We can grow in favor both with God and with man-as did the child Samuel (1 Samuel 2:26) and the child Jesus (Luke 2:52). The phrase, to find favor in the eyes of, or, in the sight of, came from the Old Testament. Every saint of God should desire and seek to have favor in the eyes of the Lord. We grow in that favor as we faithfully live for the Lord.
However, this should not be looked upon as some sort of secret formula for getting everything we want. For purposes of His own, God sometimes takes those He loves through special trials. Job is the primary example but similar instances happen in the lives of many. However, if we continually draw closer to the Lord, we will come to dwell in His favor and in His favor is life . Psalm 30:5

Let us pray.........
Lord, thank you for brining us together for this day to serve You. Let us seek Your will today and all days. We continue to pray for little Brooke and her family, we pray for wisdom for the Doctor's and nurses who are treating her. We pray for safety for Pastor Leonard. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
In the love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
