Dear KKIM Family,
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there!!! Gretchen already game me my gift a coffee cup with “Daily Cup” inscribed on it!!! How wonderful! I also just got a card from Greg and his fiancee’, Natashia…….the word’s they wrote touched my heart so. I think we should do “Daily Cup” coffee cups!
This morning I can smell the rain………..I can smell the fragrance of God’s blessings……..I can feel the presence of God in my life………Do you?
I am discovering as I go along in life how wonderful prayer is and how it get’s us closer to God. I am also gaining wisdom on unanswered prayer………
David Jeremiah writes on prayer………
Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach well, but much of praying well. To know how to speak to God is more important that knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing. Jesus loves to teach us how to pray.
Andrew Bonar wrote in 1853………
God likes to see His people shut up to this. That there is no hope but in prayer. herin lies the Church’s power against the world.
Jim Cymbala writes……..
Prayer cannot truly be taught by principles and seminars and symposiums. It has to be born out of a whole environment of felt need. If I say, “I ought to pray,” I will soon run out of motivation and quit; the flesh is too strong. I have to be driven to pray.
Jack Taylor writes…………..
Our infirmities are the trumpets which call us to prayer. No miracle was performed in the Bible that did not begin in a problem…….The greater the problem, the greater the solution.
Prayer is certain writes David Jeremiah………
Jesus not only invites everyone to pray, He says that “Everyone who asks receives” and “Everyone who seeks finds” and “to him who knocks, it will be opened.” This is an ironclad promise.
Andrew Murray wrote about this test…….
Ask and you shall receive; everyone that asks, receives. This is the fixed eternal law of the kingdom: if you ask and receive not, it must be because there is something amiss or wanting in the prayer. Hold on; let the Word and Spirit teach you to pray aright, but do not let go the confidence He seeks to waken: Everyone who asks receives…..Let every learner in the school of Christ therefore take the Master’s word in all simplicity….Let us beware of weakening the Word with our human wisdom.
My KKIM Family, Such words of wisdom this morning that I needed to pass along to you by the nudging of the Lord.
Let us Pray………..Lord thank you for your sons and daughters who put wisdom down on paper for us to read and learn and grow closer to You. We pray today for all those who have had bad Father’s here on earth. We pray for their hearts and spirits this fathers day weekend. We pray that these hurt souls will come nearer to You. Let us be tools for You to see that this happens. We also continue to pray for the family of Sgt. Andy Tingwall Father, when we listen to the dispatch tapes of Andy and his wife talking during the rescue and then the crash…….we hear and feel the love between them. We pray for Andy’s family, especially his wife, Leighann (pronounced LeeAnn) and two children. Lord we thank you that we can come to You and our prayers are heard. In the name of Jesus, AMEN
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
