Dear KKIM/KARS/SHINE family,
May God be with you and yours this day and all days…….
For God’s Glory Alone, we are here this day to serve you…….
Drop us a line and let us know how today’s CUP touched your life, please.
Months ago a waitress at Crackle Barrel handed me a note with this scripture on it…….
I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. Isaiah 49:16
I am thankful for that waitress who was BOLD enough in Jesus Christ to hand out scripture! PRAISE GOD! I look for her now every time at Crackle Barrel!
A good question to ask yourself this day and all days is….What guides you each day? Your Will or God’s?
Let us all this day Pray for the United States of America, Oh My, we need the Lord and let us pray for Israel…….Pastor Don Kimbro sent in this prayer……
- Pray that the UN will not vote to create a Palestinian State.
- Pray that Israel will never be divided into two nations.
- Pray that the U.S. will remain a strong supporter of Israel.
- Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Psm. 122:6-9
Also prayer Warrior Judith Nowers of Santa Fe let’s us know of prayer time in Santa Fe on Sunday…….

I even have a couple of pictures posted in the write up that my Dad left for me. Even if you are not from the Windom area, you may enjoy this write up, I share about the History of Windom and my Grandpa and Dad.

There is a saying “It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness”. Let each of us be the candle for the Lord, shining the light of Love, Truth and Everlasting life in Jesus than cursing all who live in the darkness. Let us lead them out of darkness into the light of Jesus.
Isaiah 61:1-2a
The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the years of Jehovah’s favor,

Thank you Pastor Steve!
let me now share with you……..
Grace and Peace to be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 2 Peter 1:2
This is the scripture from my Devotional this morning in my Smith Wigglesworth book Wanell gave me.
We must seek knowledge everyday in our Lord, seek HIS way, Less of me more of HIM!
Yesterday I was asked by a man, “How do you hear from the Lord?”
I get that a lot…..It is wonderful when one will ask, some never do and never do hear from the Lord until there dying day, if even then.
It was back in the late 80’s when Ed Moore asked me, “Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?”
That took me back a few steps, as what is this guy doing? I have faith in God, I go to Church!
I thank the Lord everyday for Ed being BOLD enough to ask me that question!
Ed talked to me about getting to know the Lord on a personal basis, so close you can hear him!
The Messenger, the Holy Spirit, started to come to me and I hear the Lord everyday now!
You have to experience this yourself to be engulfed by this glory!
My prayer this day is that you will be absorbed into the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ!
The Lord is right here wanting you to come into life with HIM more and more, deeper and deeper than ever before!
There is no more important decision than this right now!
You need no other guiding light, other than the light of our LORD!
What is holding you back?
There is more and more GLORY to experience, you must surrender today!
Yes this is the day!
This is not of man, this call is of GOD!
As Wigglesworth writes and I agree…..I see a place, YES I DO! That satan cannot come! Do you see?
We are “hidden with Christ in God” (Col. 3:3), HE invites us all to come and share this wonderful hidden place. We dwell “in the secret place of the Most High” and “abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Ps. 91:1) God has this place for you in this blessed realm of grace.
More and more people are coming into the Radio Ranch to talk and ask questions…..come…….come…..and ask……….now is the time or send me an email. For God’s Glory Alone!!!!!!!!!!
Last night on NM News and Views Pastor Paul Holt talked about, What the Church needs to do in a time such as this……….
In this last church age the world has arrived at a crossroad. While it is never possible to say just how far we are from the millennial reign of the King of Kings our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, it is possible to know that we have arrived at the last days.
Now before you assume that this is a doom and gloom piece let me pose a question. What is the role of the church, the assembly, the body of Christ- aka- Israel in these last days? I, and many like me, have suggested that believers are not living up to what the Lord had in mind for us. OK, lets get past the shortcomings of the various denominations and get straight to the heart of the matter.
Jesus told the church of Laodicea, the church of the last age, to recognize their condition and then turn to Him for the cure. I can observe that much has been written and said about the current condition of the church at large. Researchers tell us that here in the US, only 11% of it citizens attend some time of church on a semi- regular basis (usually once or twice a month). Of those churches, only 6% identify themselves as evangelical or bible believing in their theology.
Of that, we find that 3% or 4% of the total US population has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Before you become discouraged at reading such numbers, you should understand that it has been this way even in times of great numbers of people who claim to be Christian. Jesus Himself had a great number of followers but a small number of true disciples.
This brings us to the role of the church or Israel in these dark times. Notice that in Revelation 3:17 that the church is blind, among other things. What is the cause of this blindness? I believe that it is a spiritual blindness that cannot be understood by the one who is blind.
Jesus tells us to take care of our own sight first. We must go to Him for the eye salve that brings the sight (or insight) we so desperately need. Only then can we seek to bring sight to our brother or sister. I believe that our first order of business is to have a right understanding of scripture. The only source of that understanding is Jesus Himself. He is the way, the truth and the life, and He is the very Word of God.
Deuteronomy 28 is a fascinating portion of scripture. The first two verses tell us of the blessings that come from obedience to the Word of God and the later verses starting in verse 29 describe blindness found in disobedience. The Lord Himself must open our eyes, so that light can shine from our very lives.
It is by living out a Godly lifestyle, rooted in grace, as doers of the Word that we become a beacon to the world. The Scripture tells us that a day will come when the attraction of a biblically obedient life will cause the unbeliever to grab a hold of the Israelite to be taught how to live and to worship the one true God. This will bring about the peace described in Isaiah, when swords will become plow shears.
A Christian in name only is attractive to no one. That is why Jesus will say to them “Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity, I never knew you.” The anti- Christ is also known as the lawless one, the one who does not acknowledge the authority of God or His word. He looks to set himself up as if he were God.
Jesus, however, even though His was equal with God, did not seek to set Himself up as God. Jesus kept the Word of God, His commandments, His statutes and His judgments and we are to be imitators of Christ. Do you see the contrast? The worker of iniquity, like the anti-Christ, is the one who is lawless or without God’s Word.
The role of the church in these last days is to be what the Lord has always intended, the light of the world. We must be bold in living out a godly lifestyle that obeys scripture and never apologizes for doing just that.
