Dear KKIM Family,
I just finished softball practice it was AWESOME!!! I tell the younger guys, “Pay attention this is a piece of heaven…….and you will not be able to play all your life…….enjoy!” PRAISE GOD!!! PRAISE GOD!!! You do know that God invented baseball don’t you?
In the BIG INNING!!!!!!!! HA! HA!
Yes we did practice despite winds over 35 mph!!!!
A great work out!!!!
Something a few of you know, is that the Lord has had on my heart for years to become a Pastor. I have asked a few folks to pray about this over the years and have talked to some of my mentors about it. Today the Lord spoke to me to get going on this. I am to stay at KKIM, but study to become a Pastor for Me, says the Lord. So I am going to start! I have already contacted some of my mentors to help me starting today. I have no idea how this will be done, but the Lord has told me to pursue it, so when the Lord tell’s me something I listen! I have had people tell me that I am already a Pastor, but I have to listen to the Lord! My Grandma Caraway and Uncle Joe always told me that I was going to be a Pastor. Thank you for allowing me to be vulnerable with you! I envision being a Pastor for HIM, non-denominational. I ask myself what will I achieve for the Lord by becoming a Pastor? He must have something planned! I just know that one of my favorite verses that is my driving force in my life is……….
“My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus.” Acts 20:24
I am ready for more work for HIM, if that is what the Lord desires for me. I have tried to turn my life completely over to HIM. I yelled out in joy this morning on the way home from softball practice, THANK YOU GOD FOR HEALING MY LEGS SO I CAN PLAY BALL AGAIN THIS YEAR!!!! I PRAISE GOD FOR MY BROTHERS AT HIEGHTS CHRISTIAN THAT LET ME PLAY WITH THEM!!!!
Sharon is 150% behind this!!!
May I ask that you keep Sharon and I in your prayers about all this? Thank you!
Just one other note on this..I was asked, “Where would your Church be?” Well, the Lord has told me that KKIM is my Church for HIM. It is a Church that never locks it’s door’s and is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. PRAISE GOD!
As I write this, I ask that you pray for all the 13 shooting victims yesterday in Binghamton, New York and now the three Police Officers that were killed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania today. That is seven Police Officers killed in the United States by gun fire in the last couple of weeks. We have Spiritual Warfare going on in the United States. Let us read this and then go to prayer………..

HOW TO PRAY WITH AUTHORITY…………..
The prophet Elijah is an amazing example of what can be happen when believers pray with authority, when they come confidently to God asking Him to do something that glorifies Him. With the people of Israel and the prophets of Baal gathered at Mt. Carmel for a “showdown” between the Lord and Baal, Elijah confidently prayed:
“LORD GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that YOU are GOD in Israel and I am YOUR servant, and that I have done all these things at YOUR word. Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that YOU are the LORD GOD, and that YOU have turned their hearts back to YOU again.” (1 King 18:36,37)
When Elijah had finished his prayer, the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the sacrifice, as well as the wood, the stones, the dust, and all the water in the trench. When the people saw what had happened, they fell on their faces and said, “The LORD, HE is GOD! The LORD, HE is GOD!”
Elijah didn’t pray in secret, off in some corner where nobody could see him. He prayed openly and publicly. There was nothing tricky or shady about what he did; there was no doubt about what he said.
GOD tells us to come boldly into HIS presence. HE grants us the privilege to come before HIM with authority because of our position in CHRIST JESUS. We are to be bold in our faith that GOD will do what HE desires to do and what HE says HE will do.
Hebrews 4:15,16 tell us, “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 10:22 admonishes, “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith.” We have GOD’S invitation; will we accept?
AMEN! AMEN!
The prayers are already coming in for Susan’s friend………..
Blessings to you today Dewey and all of my CUP prayer partners.
Keeping Susan’s friend close to my heart today and just wanted to let
Susan know. Love to you all! Cherie
Let us pray……………
Dear Father,
You tell us to come to YOU boldly in prayer………and we do this now in asking you for your POWER in this spiritual warfare going on in the United States. Only YOU FATHER can overcome this evil that is in our country. May many give their hearts to YOU this season of time. May the Easter Lilies that come to worship you every Easter turn into faithful servants and not just one time shoppers. In the name of JESUS, AMEN!!!!
Now I have to end this with a FUNNY BONE!!!!!!! from Roy………
Priceless
Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his Plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to his home.
As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver.
‘You know’ he said, ‘I am 87 years old and I have never
driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?’
The driver said,
‘No problem. Have at it.’
Billy gets into the driver’s seat and they head off
down the highway.
A short distance away
sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap.
The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone.
The trooper pulled out
and easily caught the limo
and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure.
The young trooper walked up to the driver’s door
and when the glass
was rolled down,
he was surprised to see
who was driving.
He immediately excused himself and went back to his car
and called his supervisor.
He told the supervisor,
‘I know we are supposed
to enforce the law….
But I also know that
important people are
given certain courtesies.
I need to know what
I should do because
I have stopped a
very important person.’
The supervisor asked,
‘Is it the governor?’
The young trooper said,
‘No, he’s more important
than that.’
The supervisor said,
‘Oh, so it’s the president.’
The young trooper said,
‘No, he’s even more
important than that.’
The supervisor finally asked,
‘Well then, who is it?’
The young trooper said,
‘I think it’s Jesus,
because he’s got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!’
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
