Dear KKIM Family,
It is such a blessing to be with you on this wet Monday in the desert! Praise God it is raining here in New Mexico!
Why do we have a lot of flat roofs in New Mexico? To keep our pocketbooks flat? LOL!!!!
Here is a note from Pastor Leonard………
Hey my brother.
Praying for you, my brother. You are a mighty warrior for the Lord. Satan doesn’t waste his time on those who are weak, lie, deceive and are not willing to take a stand for the Lord Jesus Christ. Only those who have chosen to go to war experience the trials and struggles of battle. Those on their soft sofas and Lazy Boy’s never experience the heat of war or the stench of battle, but they also never experience the joy of the victories in others lives and being able to actually see and experience God’s move of joy and grace in others. What a view my friend, you have, as people tune in to KKIM and tell of how God is touch and moving in their lives because of your willingness to go to war.
“be strong IN THE LORD and in HIS mighty power”. Eph. 6:10
praying for you, love ya,
Leonard
Here’s more from Andrew Murray from his book,
“Again, I say, let us meditate on the divine glory of the salvation God purposes working out in us, until we know the truths it implies. Our heart is the scene of a divine operation more wonderful than Creation. We can do as little towards the work as towards creating the world, except as God works in us to will and to do. God only asks of us to yield, to consent, to wait upon Him, and He will do it all. Let us meditate and be still, until we see how meet and right and blessed it is that God alone do all, and our soul will of itself sink down in deep humility to say: “I have waited for Thy salvation, O Lord.” And the deep blessed background of all our praying and working will be: “Truly my soul waiteth upon God.”
The application of the truth to wider circles, to those we labor among or intercede for, to the Church of Christ around us, or throughout the world, is not difficult. There can be no good but what God works; to wait upon God, and have the heart filled with faith in His working, and in that faith to pray for His mighty power to come down, is our only wisdom. Oh for the eyes of our heart to be opened to see God working in ourselves and in others, and to see how blessed it is to worship and just to wait for His salvation!”
—Waiting on God
Thanks to Pastor Leonard Navarre for sharing! His encouragement is AWESOME!!
Well our friend, Ken, from the National Weather Service who was on NM News and Views last week, Ken’s forecast of liquid sunshine is certainly holding true! Thanks to Ken and his lovely wife Namoi for joining us. Ken plays first base and also is one of our pitchers on the Heights Christian Softball Team. We learned a lot about the national Weather Service, including every tax payer pays JUST 5 dollars a year for the service, WOW! If every Government agency was as efficient as the National Weather Service we would be in great shape. How much is that a day? The National Weather Service protects us…….they work with Homeland Security, Police, Fire, even Insurance companies to confirm weather conditions.
As I study to become a Pastor………A lot of my broadcasting experience of 35 years sure comes in handy. I was taught years ago at Brown to repeat, repeat, till the message sinks in. People need to hear the message 6 to 8 times.
I found this very interesting from the True story “Same kind of Different as me”……..
“Brother Brown, we done heard that message about a hun’erd times,”
one of the older women would say, somebody with gumption like my auntie, Big Mama’s sister. “When you gon’ change the sermon?”
Brother Brown would just gaze up at the holey roof and shake his head, kinda sad. “I work out there in the cotton with y’all, and ever week, the Lord shows me what’s goin on in the congregation so I’ll know what to preach on Sunday. When I start seein some changes out there,” he’d say, pointin toward the plantation, “I’ll be changin what I preach in here.”
WOW! What word’s of wisdom……..Let us not always search for the sermon or message of the week…….let us stay focused on God’s Word..the basic’s of God’s Word. There is a message for all of us in that quote.
Today, I leave you with this quote from one of the greatest Human beings God created……..Coach John Wooden……….
“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” AMEN!!!!!!
No matter how you feel……….If you are feeling down and out and about to give up…….YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL ON GOD!!!!
HE will answer the phone………Will you listen?
Let us pray………….
Lord, We ask You today for courage to stand up from the crowd with selfless caring..Let us be awesome witnesses for You. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
