Dear KKIM Family!
We want to welcome Eric and Chris Tomlin!!! Thanks for being prayer warriors with us!
Please tell your friends about KKIM and the Cup!
Some sound advise from Max Lucado………
We no longer have yesterday………..
We do not yet have tomorrow……….
We have today……..live in it…………
You must be present to win!
Don’t heavy today with yesterday’s regrets or acidize it with tomorrow’s troubles.
Jesus does not use the term day very often in scripture. But the few times he does use it, it provides a delightful formula for upgrading each of ours to blue-ribbon status.
Saturate your day in HIS grace.
“I tell you in solemn truth,” replied Jesus, “that this very day you shall be with me in Paradise.” Luke 23:43
Entrust your day to HIS oversight.
“Give us day by day our daily bread.” Luke 11:3
Accept HIS direction.
“If you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross each day and follow me.” Luke 9:23
AMEN! AMEN!
I have to share again with you all just in case if you missed the write up by max Lucado on prayers……………..
Those who pray keep alive the watch fires of faith. For the most part we don’t even know their names. Such is the case of someone who prayed on a day long ago. His name is not important. He is important not because of who he was, but because of what he did.
He went to Jesus on behalf of a friend. His friend was sick, and Jesus could help, and someone needed to go to Jesus, so someone went. Others cared for the sick man in other ways. Some brought food; others provided treatment; still others comforted the family. Each role was crucial. Each person was helpful, but no one was more vital than the one who went to Jesus.
John writes: “So Mary and Martha sent someone to tell Jesus, ‘Lord, the one you love is sick’” (John 11:3, emphasis mine).
Someone carried the request. Someone walked the trail. Someone went to Jesus on behalf of Lazarus. And because someone went, Jesus responded.
In the economy of heaven, the prayers of saints are a valued commodity. John the apostle would agree. He wrote the story of Lazarus and was careful to show the sequence: The healing began when the request was made.
The phrase the friend of Lazarus used is worth noting. When he told Jesus of the illness, he said, “The one you love is sick.” The power of the prayer, in other words, does not depend on the one who makes the prayer but on20 the one who hears the prayer.
We can and must repeat the phrase in manifold ways. “The one you love is tired, sad, hungry, lonely, fearful, depressed.” The words of the prayer vary, but the response never changes. The Savior hears the prayer. He silences heaven so he won’t miss a word. The Master heard the request. Jesus stopped whatever he was doing and took note of the man’s words. This anonymous courier was heard by God.
John’s message is critical. You can talk to God because God listens. Your voice matters in heaven. He takes you very seriously. When you enter his presence, the attendants turn to you to hear your voice. No need to fear that you will be ignored. Even if you stammer or stumble, even if what you have to say impresses no one, it impresses God—and he listens.
Intently. Carefully. The prayers are honored as precious jewels. Purified and empowered, the words rise in a delightful fragrance to our Lord. “The smoke from the incense went up from the angel’s hand to God” (Rev. 8:4). Incredible. Your words do not stop until they reach the very throne of God.
One call and heaven’s fleet appears. Your prayer on earth activates God’s power in heaven.
You are the someone of God’s kingdom. Your prayers move God to change the world. You may not understand the mystery of prayer. You don’t need to. But this much is clear: Actions in heaven begin when someone prays on earth. What an amazing thought!
When you speak, Jesus hears.
And when Jesus hears, the world is changed.
All because someone prayed.
Let us pray………………
