Dear KKIM Family,
Thank you so much for stopping by for a CUP! God Bless you all! Glad to have you at the table!
Daughter Gretchen posted this quote……
“He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.” -Albert Einstein
I use that quote because I don’t know if we are in AWE enough each day of our LORD! Of the birds, flowers, rocks………..our lives? all of HIS creation!!! I am typing this to you as the Birds sing outside my window! Further down in this post you will find a prayer vigil being called to pray for abortions….in other words to pray for the killing of babies! Yes, this is a true report from right here in the United States of America! As Pastor Steve Smothermon said at our Church Service Friday night, “Where is the outrage?”
We also have people that pray for the death of Pastor’s!!!!!
I think sometimes the Church get’s the meaning of meekness messed up! Meekness means POWER under CONTROL!
Here is a devotional from Adrian Rogers on meekness…….
What Is Meekness?
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth Matthew 5:5.”
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
What does it mean to be meek? First, let me tell you what it is not before I tell you what it is.
Meekness is not weakness. The word “meek” means yielded. It literally has the idea of strength under control. When an animal, especially a horse, is domesticated, it is trained so a rider can sit on its back or so it can pull a plow. The proper term for this process is that the animal has been ”meeked.” It has been broken. Now it yields to the rider or the yoke. Now the animal exhibits strength under control. That’s what meekness is.
ACTION POINT:
Read Matthew 11:29 and 21:5. What does Jesus say about Himself and how can you emulate Him?
I get an email every weekday from Godvine..a Daily Devotion……….here is today’s………
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.” – Psalm 86:7
| Hi, Dewey! When you are facing troubles, temptations, or other trials, what do you do? We all know we should turn to God, but sometimes we underestimate just how much He can and will help us. So no matter what you’re facing today, trust in Him, ask Him for help, and thank Him for all He has given you. Have a great day and God bless 🙂 |
Here is the Posting from Fullnessonline………
April 15, 2012. Embrace this truth and run with it. The baton has been passed to you. The same Spirit that descended upon Me has come upon you as well. I prophesied to you about how you would do greater works than Me. I foretold to you things which would occur because I went to be with My Father. My Father’s plan will be accomplished. The torch had to be passed to you. The expansion of My Kingdom will be accomplished through you. My Spirit is upon you, in you, and exudes from you. Just as I yielded to My Father’s will. Replicate My obedience. Imitate My love. Be bold and move in My power.
John 14:11-12 (NKJV) “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” Kevin Robinson
We need to pray over this and be Salt and Light to the World
A Planned Parenthood group in California is launching a prayer campaign in support of abortion, called “40 Days of Prayer: Supporting Women Everywhere.”
The campaign lists 40 different prayers for those involved in an abortion — the mothers, their escorts, and the doctors performing the procedure.
The campaign doesn’t include a prayer for the unborn baby. The Six Rivers Planned Parenthood in Eureka, Calif., said the event is “in celebration of women and reproductive rights.”
But Liberty Council founder Matthew Staver said the campaign is about eugenics.
“As much as they might not like the comparison, Planned Parenthood today is no different than the eugenics promoted by its founder Margaret Sanger, who advocated the elimination of ‘undesirables,’ just like the most famous eugenicist, Adolph Hitler,” Staver said.
Staver said the Planned Parenthood event mocks the “40 Days of Life” campaign that has rallied some half million people to pray for the unborn.
According to Staver, the pro-life campaign has saved nearly 6,000 unborn babies, brought about the closure of 22 abortion clinics, and stopped nearly 70 doctors from performing abortions.
Let us pray on that! Please! I never thought I would see a prayer Vigil in the United States for the death of Babies! What have we as a Country become????
By the way Congrats to Pastor Steve Freeman and his lovely wife Sue on the birth of their grandson Luke!!!!
Sue Freeman
Our new grandson Luke! Born April 14th at 9 42 am. Birth weight 6 lbs. 8 oz. A beautiful gift!
PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let us check all the mail we got after Friday nights 40th Birthday celebration Service for KKIM at Legacy Church. We thank Pastor Steve, Kathy Garcia and all the folks at Legacy for their love! Thank you all for your love and prayers over this night!
This is from Pastor Leonard……
I am just sitting here praying and thinking of you and KKIM. I’m thinking of our friendship, your love for our Lord Jesus and dedication to providing the truth and especially the truth of the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
I reminded of Philippians 1:3-4; “I thank my God for every remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my prayer for you”.
I just wanted to say “THANK YOU”. I never dreamt of being on radio and through that avenue to have the opportunity to be on two t.v. stations presenting the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The 40th birthday party was so AWESOME in our Lord Jesus. The blessings of celebrating the 40th with you, Sharon, Mark, Juliette, Bill Redmon, Frank Haley and his wife, Paul and his wife, Bro. Steve and his assistant Kathy, Angelo, Bobby Jones and Sandy was so AWESOME. But Dewey even more awesome than that was celebrating with all our brothers and sisters where the walls of division, denominationism and separation were torn down and we praised, sang, and celebrated all together.
Brought back to my mind the text from Psalm 133:1, “How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along” (MSG)
So, I just wanted to thank you for YOU, for the award, and for the far reaching endeavors of KKIM around the world. AND, thank you for allowing me to be a small part of the global ministry of KKIM!
For God’s Glory Alone.
love ya, praying daily for you, your family, KKIM and the KKIM family.

Dear Dewey and Sharon, I was trying not to email people today, but I felt that it is important to tell you both what a wonderful evening I had at the 40th anniversary of KKIM. You did such a wonderful job. Everything looked beautiful and the service was perfect. It was nice getting to see and meet some of the very important people in your lives. You have much to be proud of. Thank you both for blessing Eddie, me and so many other people. When we get to heaven I will have to help you carry some of those jewels that your crowns cannot hold. What an incredible calling and abilities God has entrusted you with.
Love, Sandi
Jan Capehart commenting on the honoring of her Husband Marvin, long time host of Ask The Pastor, who passed onto heaven in Dec. said, Thank you KKIM for everything…..you have touched me beyond belief.
Sandy Harrington Wrote: Thanks for inviting me Mark Frederick Tross blew me away with his Message! WOW!

| Prayerfully consider sponsoring a poor child in the Philippines. See below.
April 16, 2012. Today our pastor baptized many people. In the Philippines, our Kathy Bohlin preached and saw twelve people saved. All these are tender souls. Those in our church are convinced of our love and acceptance. Greeting them this morning was so humbling to see the simple trust in their eyes. They have been fed the Gospel unto salvation and will be equipped to successfully follow in the footsteps of Christ. Sadly, I have known some shepherds who feed off their flock, fleecing and taking from them whatever they can. Behold the Lord’s eyes are watching when new sheep come in and we ask about what they do or their occupations only to find a way to fleece or feed off them. God help us and forgive us for sometimes ravaging the sheep for our personal gain. April 16, 2012. A fear you have is not major or debilitating but nevertheless it sometimes grabs you. I have plans to show you how you to overcome this. It is caused by an incident in your past. You have not talked to Me about it because you thought it was handled. But deep down in the recesses of your mind it is still there and it has manifested itself on occasions. This will cause some feeling of anxiety, but if you will listen to Me, I will show you step by step what to do. If you will obey Me and not run in panic you will be free. Precious one, I love you. Scroll down to see “Photo of the Day” from our ministry to children in the Philippines. April 16, 2012. Make a joyful noise, resounded through my head early this morning. My perception is that it’s a command not a request. It is a declaration of thanksgiving to the Lord our God. Whether it’s singing, shouting, making a loud noise, or playing the trumpet or cornet, we are instructed to make a joyful noise. The Lord says, “Just as a child loves to make loud noises. Will you do the same for Me? I love to see and hear your expression of love toward Me. I love to hear your cries of thanksgiving for what I’ve done for you. Fill the heavens with joyful noises toward Me. Sing praises to Me.” Psalm 98:4 (KJV) “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.” Kevin Robinson |

What Can You Do for God?
Matthew 6:20-21
Oftentimes we elevate serving God to the point that we overlook opportunities to have a real impact for Him. But the truth is, serving Him usually involves what’s happening in your life on a daily basis.
I remember my earliest Sunday school teacher, Mrs. Eva Crane, smiling at me and giving candy to the class. Her gentle spirit created a conviction in me that church is a good place–she made me want to be in God’s house. After 70 years, I still remember her smile. She served God’s purpose.
Another example is my grandfather. Though I wasn’t able to spend much time with him, I clearly recall my one-week visit at his home. He listened to me and shared what was going on in his life. During that time, he gave me several principles by which to live, and they’ve affected my whole life. The lessons he taught me sitting on his back porch come out in almost every sermon I write. So his wisdom has blessed millions of people. He served God’s purpose.
Don’t underestimate what the Lord is doing in your life. You may not think it’s important, but it is. What you say to people, how you treat others, the way you handle adversity–God uses these things to reveal Himself to the world. When you stand for righteousness and refuse to compromise, you are bearing a witness for Him.
How is God serving His purpose through your life? Before you start your day, say this prayer: “Lord, I choose Your way. Accomplish Your will in me, whatever that takes.” When you do, things will happen in your life that you never expected. God will bless you beyond all measure.
The Value of Seeking the Lord
Psalm 119:1-8
We all have ambitions and desires. And while these are not necessarily wrong, we should analyze our priorities: Where do I invest my time and energy? What or who occupies my thoughts? As important as our earthly pursuits, responsibilities, and relationships may be, they cannot compare to the value of a life spent seeking the Lord.
First of all, consider what it means to seeksomething. The word connotes a strong desire and an energetic quest to achieve it.Suppose you discovered a very productive vein of gold on your property. You wouldn’t just stroll out and look at it occasionally. No, you would gather some equipment and diligently go out each day to chip away at the rocks and collect the precious metal.
In the same way, seeking the Lord is not a quick and occasional encounter, but a wholehearted effort to know Him more intimately and follow Him more closely. Those who unreservedly pursue this kind of fellowship with God are determined to spend time with Him; they also want to forsake anything that could hinder growth in their relationship with the Lord. God’s committed followers boldly claim His promises and trust Him to fulfill His Word. Their experiences with the Lord bring amazing satisfaction yet cause them to hunger for more of Him.
The Christian life is meant to be a pursuit of God. To walk through the door of salvation and stand still, never drawing any closer to Him, is to miss the treasures that are available in Christ. Those who seek Him soon discover that knowing Him is the greatest reward of all.

Here is our Medical bag with Dr. Joe………
How do You Replace Sugar?
The number one thing to eliminate in your life is sugar – no matter what kind of diet you may be on. So, how do you replace it? That’s where your “alternative” sugars come in to play. What exactly are alternative sugars? Some really are sugars, such as honey, agave and coconut palm sugar, some are herbs like stevia or luo han, and then there are the infamous sugar alcohols, such as xylitol and erythritol.
Alternative sweeteners are faddish these days leading you to believe that they are a health food. Therefore, let’s take a look at a few of the more popular alternative sweeteners. Are they healthy? Is it okay if they’re made from corn?
Before we dive into individual alternative sweeteners, I want to give you my take on them. In a nutshell, they are a great option in moderation… yes, moderation, instead of a free-for-all like we were all really hoping for. Sorry. Are they healthy? Not really, because they are super processed products. Yes, some do have a few health benefits, but besides honey, they are not usually whole foods. They are isolated components that have very little nutritive value.
Stevia
Stevia is an herb, and if you grow your own stevia (which is easy to do) and use the leaves to sweeten your food, this would be considered a whole food. But most of us aren’t going to do this, because it’s not convenient and the leaves leave a bitter aftertaste. The bitter taste in stevia is what gives it its health properties, but manufacturers remove that component from store bought stevia so that it is palatable, leaving very little health benefit, if any.
So, that leads us to the powdered and liquid form of stevia, both of which are extremely processed and are then often mixed with other highly processed ingredients to make them taste better and more convenient to use. Does that make stevia bad? Not necessarily, depending on what type you buy. In fact KAL liquid stevia is probably one of the best alternative sweeteners out there. It’s definitely not the most natural form of stevia, but this alcohol-free version tastes great and isn’t mixed with processed fillers that most powdered stevia’s use. Use it in small amounts, and it’ll keeps you on track with your healthy eating and health goals.
Overall, alternative sweeteners are a good option when added to a healthy whole-food diet, but keep in mind that they are highly processed and need to be consumed in moderation.
Luo Han (also spelled Lo Han)
Lou han has been gaining popularity over the past few years. It’s a fruit from China related to an herb in the gourd family (cucumbers, squashes, etc.). A chemical compound found in lou han called “morgoside” is extracted and used as a sweetener. It’s 300-400 times sweeter than sugar and is very similar to stevia. Lou han has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries to treat various symptoms, such as a chronic cough or sore throat. Since we’re taking just a component of a whole food and isolating it, I highly doubt our isolated, processed version of lou han has the same medicinal value as back in the day, but it has been shown to have anti-fungal properties.
Lou han would be considered “friendly” to your diet, depending on what fillers the manufacturer uses. Just like stevia, manufacturers often add filler so it can be used in cooking similar to regular table sugar. Again, these fillers are processed and usually derived from corn and other undesirable ingredients. The liquid lou han that is mixed with maltodextrin or alcohol (corn derivatives), so I’d suggest you stick with KAL liquid stevia since it is easier to find, doesn’t have any fillers, and tastes pretty good. But lou han is a doable option, but do your research to find a quality brand and have fun experimenting.
And now on to the controversial sugar alcohols; people usually either love or hate them.
Xylitol
Xylitol naturally occurs in virtually all fruits and veggies, but the type you buy in the store either comes from the birch tree or the corncob. They use the corncob most often, because it’s the cheapest way to isolate xylitol. Xylitol is a completely isolated component; it does not contain any residual corn allergens, proteins, fungus, mycotoxins or other contaminants. Xylitol made from corn is okay, is friendly with your diet, and contains anti-fungal properties.
Keep in mind that a natural substance in a whole food is extracted and isolated, and this is what makes them far from natural anymore. Xylitol is not sugar at all, but rather a sugar alcohol that has 40% fewer calories than sugar, itself. It has a slow, steady energy release, which makes it a great choice for diabetics.
The downfall of xylitol and other sugar alcohols is that it is metabolized differently than sugar, which can cause a laxative effect, gas or bloating until the body becomes accustomed to it. Introducing it into your diet slowly, starting out with a very small amount – maybe one cookie made with xylitol or 1 teaspoon in a smoothie and see how you do with it. Some folks just can’t handle sugar alcohols, so they need to stick with the other alternative sweeteners.
Xylitol looks and tastes just like sugar and can be substituted in recipes one-for-one, meaning ¼ cup of sugar equals ¼ cup of xylitol. Some folks think it’s slightly sweeter than sugar, so they like to use a little less xylitol. I suggest you don’t use more than ½ cup of xylitol in a baking recipe; it’s just too much and is sure to cause stomach discomfort. If you need more sweetness, then mix it with other alternative sweeteners. In fact, this is what you may want to do in your recipes that call for xylitol. One nice benefit of using xylitol is that it helps your baked goods stay moist!
Xylitol would be my second favorite sugar-free alternative sweetener, behind liquid stevia.
Erythritol
This is another sugar alcohol that has gained popularity. It occurs naturally in fruit, mushrooms and some fermented products. It is highly processed, but there’s no concern for fungal or mycotoxin issues, making it friendly for your diet. Erythritol exhibits some, but not all, of xylitol’s anti-fungal properties.
A lot of people get excited about the fact that erythritol is supposedly easier to digest, causing less chance for stomach discomfort. But, it’s only 60-70% as sweet as sugar, so you must use more to achieve the same sweetness as xylitol or sugar. For cooking, you’d replace 1 cup white sugar with 1 ¼ cup erythritol.
Most cooks are not a fan of erythritol for baking. Unlike xylitol, it actually tends to cause baked goods to dry out. It also has a distinct cooling sensation in the mouth, which xylitol has, but it is much more pronounced with erythritol. It also tends to accentuate the waxy characteristics of the fat used in the recipe, and there is always some type of fat added to baked goods. Because of these undesirable characteristics, erythritol is also often mixed with other fillers. So always read the ingredients and know what you’re buying.
Honey
Truly raw, unprocessed honey is a whole food and occurs naturally in nature. It’s the best sugar choice as far as health benefits go. Honey is not just sugar. It’s a whole food, which is rich in amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These co-factors give honey its anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties that make the health benefits so extraordinary.
The problem is, according to Food Safety News, almost 80% of the brands from big box grocers and pharmacies tested had no trace of pollen. No pollen means that it is NOT honey. 100% of those little packets of honey you find at restaurants contained NO pollen, which means its fake honey. Imitation or fake honey is usually a syrupy concoction of cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup in water with colorings and binding additives, and maybe a small amount of honey. Don’t use it.
When buying honey, buy it from a health food store and do your research on the brand you’re buying. Most health food stores will carry local honey, which is often raw and unfiltered, but if you know of a local bee farm then get it from them.
Raw, unfiltered honey is friendly to your diet in moderation. Honey is a food high in sugar therefore you’ll want to use it very sparingly. If you are dealing with some type of health issue or weight problem, I suggest you go with the completely sugar-free alternatives that’s discussed above.
Agave Syrup/Nectar:
Agave is sugar and sugar feeds fungus. On top of that, agave is highly-processed and 90% fructose. Food manufacturers would like you to believe that agave nectar flows from the agave plant straight into the jar, but this just isn’t true; it’s very processed. According to Weston A. Price, “While agave syrup won’t spike your blood glucose levels, the fructose in it may cause mineral depletion, liver inflammation, hardening of the arteries, insulin resistance leading to diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and obesity.” So, with that said, agave is NOT on my list as a healthy alternative sugar. Please avoid.
Coconut Palm Sugar / Coconut Nectar
It’s important to know that “coconut sugar” is not derived from the coconut fruit itself, but from the flowers of the coconut trees. So unfortunately, it does not have the astounding health benefits that coconuts have. But if you find truly raw coconut sugar/nectar, it does contain some live enzymes, minerals, amino acids, Vitamin C and some B vitamins. It is absorbed into the bloodstream at a significantly slower rate than regular refined sugar, which helps to avoid blood sugar spikes.
Coconut sugar has been getting a lot of press lately, and new brands seem to be popping up left and right. You may want to try Coconut Secret, because it is raw and minimally processed. There are a lot of highly processed junk brands out there that would basically be the equivalent of eating table sugar, and some are blended with other fillers such as white cane sugar. So read the labels and do your research.
Coconut sugar/nectar IS sugar. As we’ve talked about, at the end of the day, the body and fungus sees all sugar as sugar (regardless of the type), but on occasion if you want to make a sweet treat and need real sugar, use raw unrefined coconut palm sugar. It’s reminiscent of brown sugar, it has an incredible caramel butterscotch sweetness and no coco-nutty taste. You can substitute coconut sugar for traditional sugar at a 1:1 ratio in normal cooking and baking.
Just like all “healthy” foods get put up on a pedestal for a time period, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some negative press coming out about coconut sugar over the coming years for the same reasons agave has been dethroned. Sugar is sugar, not a health food… so be careful.
Anything in excess is unhealthy. Most folks need to eliminate all sugars, including honey and coconut sugar. But don’t be fooled into thinking that the sugar-free alternatives are healthy. They are a great option, but they are not a whole food and should be used in moderation.
Bottom Line: Always question processed and concentrated foods that are not found in nature, even if they are “raw” or “natural”. Enjoy these alternative sugars while gaining back and maintaining your health, but listen to your body to find out which ones work for you.
Thank you Dr. Joe!
