Dear KKIM Family,
I did not want time to past without sending you a response I got from today’s CUP! “Surrendering to God”
How amazing it is on how God works…….When God’s people come together in worship it all comes together………
Dewey,
Good Morning! We are good.
Just to share the following, because I read this morning from Charles Stanley and saw the connection to the cup today:
From the Dec 2008 In Touch mailing:
“The believer’s self-life is composed of the habits, attitudes, and relationships he or she is unwilling to surrender. Keeping those things from the Lord gives people a sense of independence, which is highly prized in our current culture. However, by following “self,” we interfere with God’s purpose. He wants every aspect of our life submitted to His will.”
Then he reminded of the story in the Bible of “Jonah, who mistook rebellion for freedom…”
“There is only one true liberty: walking in the full obedience to the Lord. Jonah obeyed with his body but not with his heart. And his bitterness shows that stubbornly clinging to our self-life is a snare for the spirit. Unhealthy routines, like thick weeds in our path, prevent us from moving forward. So God is determined to break us loose form any hindrance.”
Also to share 2 amazing scriptures…but aren’t all scriptures amazing???….just that in my life, the following scriptures have been today’s living WORD:
“A man’s mind plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps and makes them sure.” Proverbs 16:9
“Roll your works upon the LORD (commit and trust them wholly to HIM; HE will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to HIS will, and ) so your plans will be established and succeed.” Proverbs 16:3
Have a blessed day!
Love in Christ,
Karen
Thank you so much Karen! When God’s people come together, the word of God just flows!!!! Thanks so much for sharing Karen!!!!
Just one more thing, Family Life Today, Dennis Rainey and Bob Lepine just had another outstanding program, heard at 7am and 8:30pm weekdays on KKIM…..they played an interview they had done with Dr. Bill Bright! WOW what a touching time with Dr. Bright. I am so thankful for the wonderful Ministry programs on KKIM! Now listen on Thursday as Dr. Bright will be back on at 7am with Dennis and Bob.
Dr. Bright passed away in 2003. www.billbright.ccci.org
Here was Dr. Bright’s favorite verse………
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Gal 2:20
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
