God cannot bless the United States if Abortion is put into our laws……..like Health care.
A Doctor in Albuquerque has announced that he is now performing third-trimester abortions. Please pray. Go to www.mykkim.com and click under programming for news and weather, Frank Haley has the complete story.
We have these prayer needs from Kitty…….
Thank you for praying:
My dad is recovering from pneumonia and has several challenges still ahead of him to relieve himself from stress and responsibilities beyond his ability to handle right now. My older son needs prayer as he is recovering from surgery and is a single dad as he goes through the process to bring his wife back to the states from Honduras. Both need God’s favor and miracles to open doors, healing and strength physically, emotionally and spiritually. They are born-again believers My sister is going through surgery again…third time….in April dealing with breast cancer. She needs prayer for healing…especially emotionally and spiritually. She is not saved. And my younger son needs a job that will work around his class schedule…he is at CNM in welding.
Thanks Dewey!

Today Pastor Leonard shares Masterlife with us…………He shared this with us last night on New Mexico News and Views. I am going to go through the course.
Hi, here’s the overview of the MasterLife process we are using at VVCC. We are praying that God will use this in a tremendous way to reach out and touch our community in a greater way for our Lord Jesus Christ.
love and prayers,
Leonard
Master Life
In our quest to reach people for our Lord Jesus Christ and to teach them the “how to’s” of the Christian life many times we miss the mark simply because we do not have a plan. Here at Valley View Christian Church, Edgewood, New Mexico we have joined hundred, maybe thousands, of other individuals and congregations to provide a process. If you remember in Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus Christ, gave us a mission, a real mandate for each Christian. Jesus said in verse 19, “Go and make disciples…”. Therefore, the mission of every Christian is to make disciples. “A disciple is one who is a follower of Jesus Christ and meets His requirements, forsaking all else to follow Him” – MasterLife page 3.
MasterLife is our plan at Valley View Christian Church. It is written by Avery T. Willis along with Sherrie Willis Brown, and published by Broadman & Holman Publishers. Many Christian bookstores along with www.christianbook.com carries this book and also the 26 week in depth process. This is a process to encourage the development of specific areas of our spiritual life. Here at Valley View Christian Church we are using it over a six week time frame to help people grow closer to their Lord Jesus Christ and then to be willing to adopt and mentor another individual. This six week process covers the following:
The Disciple’s Cross: here we learn step by step how to practice six Biblical disciplines of an obedient disciple. We learn how to spend time with the Master, Live in the Word, Pray in faith, Fellowship with Believers, Witness to the World and how to minister, serve others.
The Disciple’s Personality: in this study we find how to live out our Christian life in the Holy Spirit and have our personalities molded into Christlikeness. Even though we all have different personalities and traits, each disciple of Jesus Christ should be striving each day to become more like the Master, Jesus Christ, in our behavior.
The Disciple’s Victory: many Christians live their lives as if Satan has won and they can’t do anything about the baggage in their lives. In study three, we learn how each Christian can triumph over the allurement of the world, the desires of the flesh and live as “more than conquerors” over the evil one.
The Disciple’s Mission: Jesus stated two important truths. One, Jesus said, “come follow me”, Matthew 4:19. So, in the first 3 sessions of MasterLife we have learned how to follow the Master and develop a lifestyle like His. Secondly, Jesus commanded, “as you go on your journey, make disciples,” Matthew 28:19 In the last session of MasterLife we how to reproduce (make disciples) and multiple (involve in ministry). We learn how to develop and share our life story in Jesus Christ with others. We also learn how to be a MasterBuilder in the lives of others starting with our family, then to our neighbors and on to our community. The goal is to be reproducing spiritual disciples for our Lord Jesus Christ. “MasterLIfe” is the process we are using at Valley View Christian Church to multiply disciples for our Lord Jesus Christ.
II Timothy 2:2
You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others. – Apostle Paul
Teaching disciples to make disciples,
For God’s Glory Alone,

Karen Rowe, Thursdays on KKIM at 2:45 shares this after yesterdays CUP………
Awesome! I had a revelation this morning on just this topic! “Understanding God’s will comes as you grow and mature in your walk with Christ!” And also “knowing the will of God for our life”
God has been teaching me lately that when I pray, it is not telling God what to do (I never thought that… ever, but sometimes I would feel guilty in prayer as almost crossing that line…not really, but just a mind hindrance to prayer)
God has been teaching me lately that when I pray, I am praying in line with God’s will already. In other words, the closer that I grow in knowledge to God, the more my will is aligned to God’s will and I am recognizing God’s will lead my prayers in Spirit. To me this is AWESOME!!!
okay, not sure I worded all that perfectly, but AMEN to DDC!
Well, gotta run, MUCH work to do again today…Praise be to God!!!
Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe, NC
Let us pray……..Lord forgive us for our trespasses…….they are many as a Country……..We will stand boldly here for You and your children Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
