Dear KKIM/KARS/SHINE family,
May the Holy Spirit be with you this day and all days…….
Proverbs 11:24-25: “One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”
Darlene Fick Quiring
”Come Sunday morning, the Church looks a little like that river, small tributaries streaming from various walks of life, all flowing together to worship. We too are a moving, irrepressible force, changing and yet united in our destination. Christ’s Spirit draws us from ponds and puddles to create a beautiful baptismal sea, purified, plentiful and poured out for the entire world to be watered and nourished.
The Church is the Body of Christ in which members share the common life, complimenting & helping one another- #CSLewis
Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. -W. T. Purkiser
Scott Chaney has been ill for 22 months, in hospital for 15 months and is getting better. We have been praying for a miracle, will you join us in prayer for healing for Scott. A new Doctor is coming to Albuquerque to see Scott. This is a true love story on how a wife, Marci, has stuck with Scott through thick and thin, praying, fighting with Doctor’s for the best care, believing in Scott’s healing when others have not. Scott and Marci have a 12 year old son, Steven. Marci is a reader of the CUP they are from Tucumcari. Thank you for your prayers.

It was this that Pastor Jim Montoya Preached to me when I first met him 2 years ago…….
Before Jesus went back to His Father in heaven, He gave His followers a big job to do: “You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” Acts 1:8. This is known as Jesus Great Commission. The Book of Acts tells how Jesus followers began to carry out this mission., showing how in about 30 years they spread the Good News about Jesus—how He died to save sinners and then rose again—-to the far corners of the known world.
Peter said, “Repent and let everyone of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
“For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
Acts 2: 38-39
Here at the CUP and the Radio Ranch we strive everyday to carry out the Great Commission.
I would encourage you today to read in the Book of Acts….complete it this week. It is good to visit the early Church!
Part of carrying out the Great Commission is healing……..
To me Healing has been abused by some in the Church. Some have given an unbelieving world what they have wanted to see through their healing “methods”. Making money. I have seen miracles of this day, I have heard of miracles of this day!
All I know is that healing takes place today and God still does miracles, but…..
I have people coming to me asking why they are not healed, they are good Christians. I have dived into the subject of healing. As Author George Martin says some of healing is a mystery to us! We cannot know all.
Let me share with in a series of CUP’s what the Lord wants me to share with you from this Godly man George Martin from his book, Healing Reflections on the Gospel. A book that Pastor Don Kimbro recommended to me.
Our attitudes toward sickness and health will influence how we pray to God for healing. If we believe that God is indifferent to our suffering, we probably won’t pray to Him for healing. If we believe that we will be cured every time we are sick, if we simply have enough faith, we will pray quite differently—-but we may feel condemned those times we are not healed. Without attempting to present a full treatment of all questions, I would like to recommend the following attitudes toward healing.
1. God wants man to enjoy health, God’s plan at creation was for man to enjoy physical and emotional health; it was through sin that sickness and death entered into the world. (Gen. 3: 16-19)
Jesus Christ came to restore what man had lost through sin, Jesus came not only to bring forgiveness of sin, but also to repair the evil effects of sin. Jesus came to bring salvation to us as complete individuals, not only to bring salvation for our souls. He came to bring us “abundant life” (John 10:10), the beginning of which we should experience here and now! The healing’s Jesus worked were not merely signs of his divinity; they were also part of his mission of restoring man to wholeness in the image of God.
We instinctively desire to be healthy, and usually do whatever we can to get well when we are ill. We consider it natural and normal to take medicine when we are sick, or to go to a doctor. We rarely have to sit down and deliberate whether we want to be healthy.We should not automatically assume that sickness we experience is a cross sent to us by God, to be borne with patience. We should rather understand sickness as an evil, something that is normal to want to remove from our lives!
Just as we turn to Doctor’s and medicine when we are sick, so should we turn to God in prayer. We should pray for healing; healing for ourselves and others when we are sick, healing from whatever kind of sickness afflicts us. We should consider it natural and normal to pray for healing, just as we consider it natural and normal to take medicine. We should have no more hesitation in praying for healing than we do in taking aspirin for a headache.
Jesus does ask us to carry our cross in imitation of Him. There is a mystery of redemptive suffering, and illness or infirmity can be part of it. But the cross that Jesus normally asks us to carry is the cross of dying ourselves by laying down our lives in love. We should not assume that every sickness is a cross we are asked to carry. Rather, unless we have very good and specific reasons to believe otherwise, we should assume that God desires us to be well and we should pray to be well.
There is a time appointed for each person to die. Death, brought into the world through man’s sin, is ultimately vanquished only through our resurrection in Christ. There is a time to pray for someone’s peaceful death and joyful resurrection into eternal life. A person’s age and the circumstances of his life should guide us in praying for them as we ought.
However, our basic attitude should be one of seeking health: health for ourselves, health for others. Our basic attitude should view sickness as one of the evils that Jesus came to free us from. We should normally expect God’s will for us in health, and turn to Him in prayer to ask for that health.
Part II on Tuesday, Lord Willing….please pray over what you just read…..read it several times……..We are waiting for more test results on Sharon and We are taking Buffy in for a check up this morning. Please pray for complete healing for Sharon and Buffy, we are so thankful for your prayers!
