Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

As I type this Sharon is leaving for the Hospital to serve many. Let us take time to pray for our Nurses and Doctor’s who serve God’s people everyday.

I love my Pastor friends! They keep me in line! What a blessing to be surrounded by dozens of Pastors! I am truly blessed! Yesterday in my office Pastor Don Kimbro and Pastor Leonard Navarre were with me. I was talking about, “not doing something stupid each day” and how easy it is to say or do something you will regret. I pray everyday that I not do something stupid!

So this Bible verse is right on………..as all verses are…………

I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Cor. 12:9

First we have to have a relationship with Christ and follow Him and not our will, and hear the Whispers of God as we go through our days……….

I talk about my weaknesses with God……..He helps me with them.

When we have a relationship with God, He breaks down our pride and selfishness, where we can work on our weaknesses.

The pressure comes off us………we can live freely in Christ.

It’s like planning our lives, our work day and so on…………so much pressure…..but read on………

Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5

Suddenly we may realize that we have been making our plans without Him—–that we have not even considered Him to be a vital, living factor in the planning of our lives. The only thing that will keep us from even the possibility of worrying is to bring God in as the greatest factor in all of our planning.

Is God in on all your planning?

Let us pray…………..

Lord, Let us have an attitude shift from resisting trials to accepting them as Your instruments for producing Christ-likeness in our lives. May we all turn our lives over to you. Let Your will be done, not ours. Thank you Lord for all the nurses and Doctor’s who aid Your people everyday. May we remember their sacrifices everyday, and not take them for granted. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

WOW!

AWESOME!

Friday was an AWESOME evening as 6,000 people attended the Jubilee Festival! PRAISE GOD!

Thanks to you all who stopped by the KKIM booth, myself and Frank were glad to see you!

Then on Sunday I traveled to Los Lunas to be with the folks from the Los Lunas Church of God. Pastor Jim Montoya asked me to preach.

I got to meet all the wonderful folks….including 89 year old Lena! Lena is a wonderful women of God. We had a wonderful talk. My grandmother’s name is Lena Caraway. Grandma always told me I was going to be a preacher.

This congregation is on FIRE for the LORD! They are praying and working to build a Ministry Center in Los Lunas. This Center would also be a school. A Developer donated land to the Church, prime real estate, valued at over $200,000!!!!

Los Lunas remains a booming city……….growing rapidly, still building!

I so much bathe in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ!

One of the subject’s that I spoke on yesterday was suffering……..This came a subject of study for me when my Mom and Dad died. Dad died suddenly of a heart attack and Mom died about a year and half later of cancer, both passed on at 64 years of age.

I remember greatly when we were praying for Mom and after she died a man told me, “While we prayed for my Mom and she lived.”

That hurt………Why God? Why not my Mom?

The best writing I have ever found on suffering is what I shared with you a couple of weeks ago from Chuck Swindoll……..You can read the whole posting on suffering at www.deweysdailycup.com Thanks to Jannetta for saving all the CUPS!!! We can hurt our fellow Christian Brothers and Sisters without knowing it……..when we are praising the healing of a loved one……..we must be aware that sitting in the same room is someone who prayed just as hard and did not see their loved one healed here on earth. I found yesterday after delivering my message a beautiful lady came up to me and thanked me for the message as her young son had just died of cancer.

This is a good time to correct faulty thinking. It is not always God’s will that you be healed. It is not always the Father’s plan to relieve the pressure. Our happiness is not God’s chief aim. He doesn’t have a wonderful (meaning “comfortable”) plan for everybody’s life–not from a human perspective. Often His plan is nowhere near wonderful. As with Saul, His answer is not what we prayed and hoped for. But, remembering that He is forming us more and more into the image of His Son, it helps us understand His answer is based on His long-range plan, not our immediate relief.

Thankfully, in the midst of that suffering, He gently whispers, “My grace is sufficient for you.” As with Saul, His grace supplies more than e need to endure whatever it is that threatens to undo us. Let me amplify that thought. His grace is more sufficient that your strength. His grace is more sufficient than the advice of any trained counselor or close friend (though God uses both). His grace is sufficient to carry you through whatever your own, unique “thorn” may be. His grace–that’s the ticket.

Would you like to know why? “Because power is perfected in weakness.” What an amazing statement from the Lord! And all this time we thought power was perfected in success. We’ve been taught all our lives that it is achievement that makes us strong. No. A thousand times, no! Those things make us proud and self-sufficient and independent. The painful thorns make us weak. But the good news is this: When we are weak, He pours His strength into us, which gives an entirely new perspective on pain and suffering, hardship and pressure. Those stresses and strains drive us to our knees. It’s at that point our God comes through.

And so? Let’s stop looking for someone or something to blame. Let’s cease the incessant building of straw men only to set them on fire so we can say, “Ah ha! That’s the reason my misery is so great.” Don’t go there, my friend. Suffering is not about identifying the cause; it’s about focusing on the response. I plead with you–do not miss that! It’s about willingly accepting God’s plan, no matter what the circumstance. It’s about finding contentment in God’s grace, regardless.

The words of Chuck Swindoll are so wonderful.

Let us give our lives fully to God………….and realize deep inside, that HIS plan, HIS plan……..is the one to follow, and not our’s. We first have to give our heart and soul to God and also listen for the whisper’s of God as we go through our days here on earth. Our you listening today for God?
God is Cheering for You
by Max Lucado
If your God is Mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that He is mighty enough to light your path?

God is for you. Not “may be,” not “has been,” not “was,” not “would be,” but “God is!” He is for you. Today. At this hour. At this minute. As you read this sentence. No need to wait in line or come back tomorrow. He is with you. He could not be closer than he is at this second. His loyalty won’t increase if you are better nor lessen if you are worse. He is for you.

God is for you. Turn to the sidelines; that’s God cheering your run. Look past the finish line; that’s God applauding your steps. Listen for him in the bleachers, shouting your name. Too tired to continue? He’ll carry you. Too discouraged to fight? He’s picking you up. God is for you.

God is for you. Had he a calendar, your birthday would be circled. If he drove a car, your name would be on his bumper. If there’s a tree in heaven, he’s carved your name in the bark. We know he has a tattoo, and we know what it says. “I have written your name on my hand,” he declares (Isa. 49:16).

Let us pray………..

Oh Lord, We pray that we turn our lives over to You fully!!! We pray for Your will to be done in our lives. We pray that we will be better listeners of the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

I am having my cup this morning and getting ready to leave for Los Lunas to preach at the Church of God there with Pastor Jim Montoya.

PRAISE GOD!!!

I will be preaching on Leadership, Character, We Can, Lord’s Will, and on suffering.

Let me leave you with this thought this morning……….

Please pray about this……….

We are living in the most selfish, ego driven America Society ever……..EGO stands for edging GOD out………

But what do we do?……….GIVE UP?, as some of my Christian friends have told me……..is it worth the fight? We are told by our Lord to be the salt and light of the world and to occupy until the Lord comes.

We must not give up…….We need to continue to spread the good news.

Talk about occupying…………….

There was plenty of good news at the Jubilee Festival Friday night! WOW! Over 6,000 people! No Secular news coverage……….no newspaper or tv coverage! Please don’t take the POWER of the Christian media for granted…………

Dear Jubilee Media Network,

THANK YOU for bringing your resources together to celebrate Jesus at Jubilee Festival 2009!

We saw thousands of people come to Balloon Fiesta Park to rejoice in their freedom in Christ.

We heard great messages and great music! But most importantly we saw God touch each heart with His wonderful love!

On Monday, if you are able to have your listening audiences either call in and share their testimony with you on the air about how God moved in their life at Jubilee or have them share their testimony by e-mailing info@jubileefestivals.org We would love to hear from them! By sharing their testimony it reveals that Jubilee goes beyond the actual festival.

As for your media partnership, please e-mail any comments, testimonies, or concerns to me.

We pray you will join us as we begin to prepare for Jubilee 2010!!!!

Once again thank you for your prayers and support.

Blessings,

We need to support Christian Media and Christian events like this………If it was not for Christian Media this event would not have attracted as many as it did, it is simple as that.

Talk about spreading the GOOD NEWS OF CHRIST!!! WOW!!! Chaplin Brian and staff did an AWESOME job!!

Thanks to you all who stopped by the KKIM booth! It was so AWESOME to meet you! Thanks for the prayers and encouragement!

Let us pray………..

Lord, Thank you for the network of Christian Media YOU have built here in Albuquerque and Santa Fe………brining us together for YOUR GLORY!!! Let us always remember, YOUR WILL, not our’s. Thank you Lord for all those that attended the Festival and all those that gave their lives to YOU Friday night!!!! In the name of Jesus, AMEN!!!!

I will share more with you later, Lord willing, about my message this morning at The Church of God……….

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and Family
