God is looking out for us, I have no doubt. We have all experienced a nudge, a push, an open door, a closed door, a hunch, a feeling that we SHOULD BE doing something or STOP doing something else.
I think my first encounter with the Lord came on a rainy, stormy afternoon. My high school buddy and I had just left another friend’s house. We were coming down a steep hill in his old Austin Mini-Cooper with rainwater coming up into the car from rust holes in the floor board. The brakes must have been soaking wet like our feet and when the stop light at the bottom of the hill turned red, we could not stop and blew through the intersection and ended up in a church parking lot dazed and confused, literally. We looked around and looked at each and had no idea how we ended up where we did. We’ve talked in the years since then and still aren’t sure how we got through that intersection, made two turns and into that church parking lot all in the pouring down rain. God put us here on this Earth for a reason, and expects us to do the right thing, that which He wants us to do. I don’t think it was our time and to make the point, we ended up in a church parking lot. I do think we’re all in this together and each of us has something to contribute. Romans 12:4-5 says “Just as each of us has one body, with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ, we who are many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others”. We have to look after each other and help each other. I encourage you to ask God into your life with all your heart and He’ll be with you , protect you and show you the way. Let's go into this last month of the year, with our eyes on Jesus and our hearts open to what He is speaking to us. God Bless you, Dan Smith RMCTN- Colorado Springs Station Manager- KWHS Enjoy Life.

RMCTN Partners with Colorado Prays. They produce a monthly prayer Digest to help us pray targeted prayers for Colorado in 8 categories. (It's even translated in Spanish too!)
Click the link for the Prayer Digest and to learn more about Colorado Prays and how to get on a wall of day and night prayer for our state. https://www.coprays.org/prayer-resources Monday thru Saturday 7-8pm and Sunday 8-9pm During these unprecedented times, millions of people around the world have been through sorrow, loss, fear, and difficulties like never before. There have been seemingly numberless setbacks and obstacles, and many problems lie ahead for which there are no answers nor end in sight. During the Bible Seminar, people can find biblical solutions to resolving all the problems and difficulties facing them, one by one. According to Pastor Ock Soo Park, currently preaching “Lectures on the Gospel of John” every Saturday on CTN, the focus of the Online Bible Seminar is to deliver the word of God in an unfiltered way, and to share how people can practically apply biblical faith into every aspect of their lives. During the Seminar, anyone suffering from sin will be led to find assurance of salvation. The time for despair is over! Now, it is time to overcome sin, uncertainty, despair, and much more through faith in the word of God. Ways to Watch:

"I only trust what I can see with my own eyes."
Have you ever heard anyone say something like that? Every day we live our lives believing in things that we’ve never seen, believing in places that we’ve never been. I’ve never been to the North Pole, but I’ve heard other people say that they have been there, they can describe it and even bring back pictures ostensibly showing us what the North Pole looks like. It is easy to believe people when we have that kind of evidence. I can’t see oxygen but I believe the scientist that tells me that’s what I breathe in every day and that’s what helps keep me alive. I also believe in God and I haven’t seen Him. “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18). I look at flowers in my back yard and stand amazed at the fragrance, intricacy and beauty. Or see a flock of birds flying overhead and know they are going south for the winter. Or when I look in my grandson’s eyes when we’re at the zoo and think is it all just luck? It just can’t be. Someone has to be in charge of this creation. Everything fits together so well here on this Earth. There is a flow; a rhythm to our lives that lets me know someone greater is in charge. Sure, nature takes its course and things happen out of our control (Fires, earthquakes, floods, etc.), but God expects us to look after each other and to be smart as we go about our daily lives. He is also there to help us, guide us, and protect us and He does. (1 John 4:12) “No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and His love is perfected in us”. Dan Smith RMCTN- Colorado Springs Station Manager- KWHS Enjoy Life. Consider Eternity. One thing I have incorporated into my morning devotions is a “quiet” time where I don’t do anything but ask the Holy Spirit if there is something he wants to share with me. This is a wonderful time of taking a moment and centering my heart and mind on Christ and getting my mind off of the state of our world and the fear that can consume. It is the first thing that I write in my journal in the morning and has become a very important part of my day. Sometimes I don’t feel like God is sharing anything specific with me and I just write that I spent time listening. Other times I get profound words that I write in my journal and, many times, don’t share them with anyone else. Not because they are irrelevant to anyone else, but I take a moment to appreciate that God shared something with just me. There are a few times I felt like God wanted me to share what he shows me with others and I had something pretty cool I wanted to share with you.
Here is what I felt like God shared with me: “Judgement of others is the byproduct of forgetting where God has brought you from.” Everyone has a story of where they either are or what God has brought them out of. Most of the terrible interaction with people (online or in real life) is simply a byproduct of people judging others and basing it on a sense of self righteousness and feeling like they are “above” where others operate in life, which is not true. People who have found Jesus are not ANY better than those who have not yet found the forgiveness of Christ. Once Christians understand this vital point, their empathy level goes through the roof and correction Is based on love for others and not righteousness of self. People can tell if you are just trying to “bring them up to your righteousness” or help them along with the Love of Jesus. The Bible shares a portion of scripture where Paul tells the people of Corinth in 1 Corinthians 11:1 to “follow him as he follows Christ” which was a replication of what Jesus said when people asked him about his actions in John 5:19 - “So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.” Think of it this way, if we are striving to be like Christ then we don’t have time to judge others and compare others to ourselves. This is not excusing the actions of people when they go directly against God and his Word, but we must always remember that our passion and focus needs to be on Jesus first and not looking to be the “corrector of the Gospel” but to let the Gospel be lived out in us so that people will become jealous and want the peace, love, joy and hope that should be evident in the life of a follower of Christ. Praying for you and our country in the relationships we nurture and the bridges we build to see Jesus lifted up on this earth until He returns! It all leads up to this, our nation's Capitol. Washington, DC...the epicenter of Government that affects every nation on the earth. On October 25th thousands will converge on this city for a holy gathering that will be a tipping point for revival in America! We are coming with our songs, and we are coming with our prayers. We are coming with a dream that this could be the greatest hour of revival in the history of our nation.
October 25th...the nation's capitol. LET US WORSHIP. Body of Christ, Let's keep this event covered in Prayer! Click the link for more information on the position or to fill out an application and send a resume.
