I was tweeting this morning with the Birds! LOL! LOL!

We have people praying for us all over the United States.........Someone told me the other day you sure talk a lot about prayer and ask for prayer a lot!

I say we are called to be prayer warriors for each other! It is the best phone line to be on!

Let us keep praying for each other and our families.

Let us not be of this world.......

Let us not conform to this world.......

Being part of the world establishment is no interest for me and Sharon......

This world is dying.........

Hindrances to our Prayer life...........

Psalm 18 says......If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear.

What does iniquity mean.........immoral.....injustice..wickedness in us.........

Pastor Leonard Navarre is conducting this Bible Study for the Men's Group at Valley View Christian Church.......I went thru it this morning..........I want to share with you..........

First Proverbs 1:5.........A wise man will hear and increase learning,

And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel

That is why I am always seeking prayer and counsel from my Brothers and Sisters in the Lord. Not of this World, but of the Lord.........

In James 4:4 I will let you read the whole thing yourself.....but here is part of verse 4...........You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?

What does enmity mean? Hatred....ill will.........

Let me share a part of Pastor Leonard's message with you my dear, dear friends.......

Greetings men:

WOW! What a great Thursday night Men's Bible Study. Great fellowship, some corny jokes, great prayer and outstanding Bible Study. We were striving to get through James 4, but targeted James 4:3. That verse talks about why our prayers go unanswered. We found out that God turns a deaf ear to our prayers when we pray with "selfish motives".

As we studied we found 8 explanations why God is not interested in our prayers. There are reasons that God chooses not to hear and not to answer. Those 8 can be found in the following Bible verses and I will give you the answers at the end of this email.

1) Deuteronomy 1:45; I Samuel 14:37; 28:6
2) Psalm 66:18
3) Proverbs 1:28
4) Proverbs 21:13
5) Proverbs 28:9
6) Zechariah 7:13
7) I Peter 3:7
8) James 4:3

Here's the quote that we talked about Thursday night and some wanted a copy...so here it is. It is taken from Chuck Swindoll's book, "Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life".

"Busyness rapes relationships. It substitutes shallow frenzy for deep friendship. It promises satisfying dreams but delivers hollow nightmares. It feeds the ego but starves the inner man. It fills a calendar but fractures a family."
Footnote from Dewey:
Let me get in here just for a short time and say that is what we are trying to do is have Godly relationships with all. We desire deep deep Christ like relationships with you all. We Open our Door for you!

Now back to Pastor Leonard.........

REMEMBER: "Reaching into the Future" Banquet THIS SUNDAY, 5 PM, at the Edgewood Middle School. THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME. Please make every effort to attend. These are exciting days and God is moving in miraculous ways. As we say at KKIM, "For God's Glory Alone". See you there.

Answers to Hindrances to our Prayer Life:

1) Disobedience
2) Secret (unconfessed) sin
3) Indifference (apathy)
4) neglecting mercy, refusing to help the poor
5) Despising God's commandments and teachings
6) Stubbornness (God calls this "hard heart")
7) Tension in our families, especially with our spouse
8) Selfishness, wrong motives

Three enemies to the advancement of our spiritual life: laziness, affluence and apathy. Let us never forget that we are at war against the evil one. Arm yourself. Ephesians 6

I am praying for you and your families,

Leonard

Here is an update from Karen on her Grandma..............

Quick update and HUGE praise to an AWESOME and Powerful almighty GOD!

At the end of yesterday after her 2nd surgery of 2 hours, that rendered impossible, the doctors called the family in to say their goodbye to grandma, as they were told she only had a slim chance to live.

I struggled in a NEW way...My brother and I still had hope. Not because we are anybody special, just that my grandma earned the right to die at home and we knew God could get her there for a while!

I have been ready for my Grandma to go to heaven for some time, but last night, I couldn't back down from my faith or hope in what God CAN do.

Many people say, "how old is she?" 95 is the answer and the response is okay, then it's time.

My talk with God last night was not with limited vision!

I said to God, "95 years old has absolutely no meaning to you, does it God!"

I spoke to HIM in praise of Abraham's old age and the children that he had!

Today, I just found out the the impossible surgery is done and went well and she should be up drinking clear fluids by today!

This is not a gift for us, although we receive it as one. Heaven is a MUCH better alternative, BUT this is a HUGE Praise to God that can and does all great things, because HE is God!

Never doubt what God can do!

HE tells us to pray!
HE teaches us to have faith!
HE gives us faith!
HE gives us promises!
HE tells us to ask HIM!
HE tells us to just believe!
HE tells us to have HOPE!
HE teaches us that by faith, it is done!

When there is HOPE, there is room for God do work!

God is good! and there is no doubt! He is living and near and powerful!

If my grandma died, I would have still loved God!
If my grandma died, I knew she'd be in Heaven!
BUT God allowed us to ask HIM for her to "keep on living for a while" and HE honored that because HE is God!

SO praise to the KING! Praise to our LORD! Praise to God, the creator of every thing and who gives us something new to look at each and every day!
Today frost on the grass and a different sky! Look for God and HE's there!

Well, just to shout out a praise to God for HIS Glory to shine brightly in a world that trys to dampen HIS light! Let HIM SHINE! LET HIM SHINE! God's glory will shine!

Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe

We are praying Karen!

Part of the Spiritual battle here is that we are seeing right before our eyes the World dying.......We in the meantime need to stand strong for Jesus Christ! Just step away and look.......you can see the battle between light and darkness.......of this world and God..........What was once considered a sin, is now, in many circles accepted.......

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
