My Friends, How was your Father’s Day? I pray that it was AWESOME!!! Mine was SUPER DUPER!!! I thank the Lord for my wife Sharon, the kid’s Greg, Gretchen, Steph, Mike and Lars and the doggies and birds!

This past weekend I started to share with you that I am reading David Jeremiah’s book, “Prayer the Great Adventure”……..Go to www.deweysdailycup.com for part one.

Dr. Jeremiah writes………

I know that some Christians don’t spend much time praying because they don’t believe they will ever see any answers. Perhaps they prayed in the past for something of vital interest to them and didn’t receive answer they had hoped for. So they stopped praying altogether. J. Oswald Sanders pointed to this problem when he wrote, “It is easy to become a fatalist in reference to prayer. It is easier to regard unanswered prayer as the will of God than to……..reason out the causes of the defeat.”
Dewey:
I would encourage you to read that again my friends I have heard so many times, “I prayed and did not get an answer, It was not the Lord’s will I guess.”
Read again what Sanders writes.

And what could be some of those reasons for “defeat”? Oswald Chambers had at least one suggestion when he wrote, “Our Lord in His teaching regarding prayer never once referred to unanswered prayer, He said God always answers prayer. If our prayers are in the name of Jesus, that is, in accordance with His nature, the answers will not be in accordance with our nature, but with His. We are apt to forget this, and to say without thinking that God does not always answer prayer. He does every time, and when we are in close communion with Him, we realize that we have not been misled.”

I would encourage you to read that again and again.

But what if you believe you are praying in God’s will for something He delights in, and yet there is no answer? James Montgomery Boice suggest, “If you are praying for something and God is not answering your request with a “Yes”, ask what you can accomplish in the meantime and give yourself to that. It does not mean that God may not give you what you are asking for eventually, but in the meantime you will be doing good work.”

Let us pray…………

Lord, what wonderful teaching today on prayer…….Thank you again for Your servants here on earth to teach and help us. Let us pray on what we learned this morning. We need to remember that You answer all our prayers……….Your will, Your timing, not ours. We pray for wisdom today as we start a new work week, we pray for the people in Iran, we pray for the freedom only you can give for the people of Iran. We pray for the many starving people in North Korea. We pray for freedom in You Lord! We pray for the defeat of Satan. We pray for the family of the young girl who was killed by gun fire inside the Denny’s restaurant here in Albuquerque. We pray for all those that were inside the restaurant at the time,that they will recover from this awful experience. We pray for our Law Enforcement officials as they track the killers.
We pray for the defeat of Satan. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

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

Dear KKIM Family,

“Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever” WOW! WOW!

That is from Daniel 12:3 HOW EXCITING!!!

As I go about my days………I really think about this. And one of my good friends, Pastor Mark Tross has taught me, ya know I really love Mark.He has been such a teacher for me……….He holds me up, like a good friend should……..he accepts me for who I am, despite losing the North Korean story…..(You had to be listening last night to get that) But I do not take for granted relationships like I have with people like Mark. I thank God for Mark. I love his wife Juliett. She is a giver just like her husband. WOW! I am getting emotional or what? But, mainly I PRAISE GOD for my relationships like this. I have had SO MANY people guide me over the years……..I PRAISE GOD for all those folks. I am just trying to pay back now all that has been given to me!

I also want to thank all those who are my friends……..There are many of you who help me each day go about my life. I PRAISE GOD for all of you!

What other people think of me is becoming less important: what they think of Jesus because of me is critical.

ACTIONS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN WORDS…………What will your actions be today:?

Why am I here right now? To live and speak boldly for Christ because so many souls need to enter the kingdom.

I want to thank Mike Burgess GM at KOB TV for allowing KKIM to use their audio of the Dispatch calls of the State Police helicopter crash. Thanks again Mike.

PRAISE REPORTS!!!!!!

We have been praying for Charlie Hickman as he goes through tests for cancer. PRAISE GOD !!! He got a clean bill of health!

It has been such a sad summer here in New Mexico….The murder of Baby Boy Angel who was killed by his Mother, The drowning of the young boy from Rio Rancho and then the crash of the State Police helicopter killing Sgt. Tingwell and the young lady w rescued. The discovery yesterday of the Bodies of a man and three children in a car pulled from Cochiti Lake. The Father had disappeared with the Children back in August of 2001. Let us keep all this in our prayers. Let us also keep Officer Wesley Cox in our prayers as he continues recover from the crash of the State Police Helicopter. Let us not forget Sgt. Tingwell’s two daughters who lost their Dad in that crash and will be going through Father’s Day without their Daddy. And on this Father’s Day weekend this morning a Father and Son got into a gunfight here in Albuquerque, resulting in the death of the son. It has been a very sad summer here in the Duke City.

Let us also PRAISE GOD for all the answers to unspoken prayer requests. We get many of those and we pray over them here at the Cup………Many good reports!!!

Let me give you a Praise report……..

Sharon and I have received some good news on our housing situation, we have secured a Realtor that we think can get our house sold in Los Alamos. Thanks for your continued prayers.

I also Praise God for Sharon and my kid’s. They are so good to me! I want to be a better husband and father!

Some folks do not want their names used, that is okay because God knows! I am glad we have a place of Prayer and Worship here at KKIM and the CUP!

Many of you know that am over my life have been a HUGE baseball fan. I still play softball and I am a Minnesota Twins Fan………The Twins mainly stay out of the headlines and are a good organization. I am less a baseball fan than ever….and that is sad. I still enjoy the game, but will no longer hold up these guys as heroes.

I am sad about the whole steroid issue, and now Commissioner Selig is upset that more names are being leaked out from the steroid investigation, showing that Sammy Sosa used steroids……..Well sadly, no surprise there. I think many baseball fans are not shocked that he cheated. That whole McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, etc group is all tarnished now, and so is baseball as names keep coming out. Baseball should have come clean years ago and released all this information. The fans pay the way for all these guys and basically Baseball has lived a lie for years and is tarnished for ever. This is not like the Black Sox scandal from 1918….this is the WHOLE LEAGUE!!!! Baseball has ruined it’s trust with the public. Selig continues to hide information and ignore the dirty business, this while tax payers are getting ready to finance more new Baseball stadiums, even in this economic climate. Baseball owners receive many tax breaks from the Feds. Baseball has turned into a dirty business. Baseball has left Jesus Christ out!

Another note: A sign of the times, sadly……..Headlines in the Albuquerque Journal today at the top: MANNY’S COMING! Stupid me, I was looking for the headline that said, JESUS IS COMING!!!!!

How sad celebrating that a drug user who play’s baseball and paid millions, what 25 a year? is coming to rehab with the Triple A team. Ramirez has taken steroids for years to enhance his performance.

Baseball owners and players knew for years that not only steroids and other drugs where a problem in the clubhouse but they decided to hide from it.

A wise man told me many years ago that what is going on in Baseball will always be a reflection of what is going on in society. HOW TRUE!!!!

America has turned into a society that like’s to feed dysfunction.

Please do not tell me it’s only baseball!!! Because many people look up to this dysfunction and take their lead from this………and also tax payers money feed’s part of this dysfunction!

How often do we hide dysfunction in our homes, Church’s, Businesses, Governments?

I love to talk to a Public Official or a Baseball Executive……….when they say, I know Dewey, But I can’t say anything official!!!!! HOGWASH!!!!

What this country need is more TRUTH!!!!! Get rid of the FICTION SECTION!!!

End of rant………thanks!

REPEAT: Why am I here right now? To live and speak boldly for Christ because so many souls need to enter the kingdom.

Let us go to the mailbag………….

We got a lot of email on the post that Pastor Leonard shared with us on NOT GIVING UP………..Sam here hit’s the nail right on the head……..

Oh Dewey, what a powerful ‘Cup this morning. “Don’t Give Up” brought me to tears. How often it would be easier to just cave in. But we have to keep our eyes on the horizon.

Dewey, something has been layed on my heart heavy.. The word “LUST” Often I have heard ministers smooth it over with such words as desires, wants, or temptation. Do you see the difference here as I do? The word ‘Lust, is offensively straightforward, and so to the point! It has a nastiness to it. Something that is very, very Ugly! And you know what? I think that was indeed the word that our Savior wanted us to use! To hear all the time, that it doesn’t overtake us. That ugly word ‘Lust’ the bible told us that there are 3 things that sum up ‘Everything’ that is in the world. The ‘Lust, of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the Pride of life. How could it be that after using such a dirty word as ‘lust, then throw in ‘Pride? The two have to be connected somehow.
Maybe when we lust after something and get it, then there is Pride. Pride sneaks up to us in such a way that we don’t even see it coming. Where lust on the other hand, we feel it, and immediately feel guilt. A built in warning system that only God could put in our conscience. A desire doesn’t burn our conscience, or just wanting something, But when we in counter ‘LUST, our souls burn with guilt.
Yes, I do believe there is quite a difference, don’t you? Sam

Dewey,
thanks for the work you do… courage in the face of difficulties is faith… like one of your quotes says, having everything going your way is no sign of salvation.

grace,
Michael near Seattle

I had the best father, Wally Moede, growing up and then when my dad passed away suddenly the week he retired……..Uncle Joe has filled in……….My heart this Father’s Day weekend goes out to all those who did not have good Father’s. many to this day are scared by what their Fathers did or did not do. Let us reach out to those who are hurting this weekend.

Pastor Leonard Navarre gives us some needed humor this morning………It’s on Grandparents…….Don’t forget Grandpa on Father’s Day! By the way Valley View Christian Church is having a HUGE Car show and fun for the whole family this Sunday……….get more information at www.mykkim.com Click on the car show banner.

A little humor to “smile” your day along.

love ya, praying for you,

Leonard

Whether you have grandchildren…or will be a grandparent…these comments will show you how esteemed you are in a grandchild’s life.

Being a Grandparent…

1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she’d done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, ‘But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!’ I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye…

2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, ’62.’ He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, ‘Did you start at 1?’

3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, ‘Who was THAT?’

4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: ‘We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.’ The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, ‘I sure wish I’d gotten to know you sooner!’

5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, ‘Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?’ I mentally polished my halo and I said, ‘No, how are we alike?” You’re both old,’ he replied.

6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather’s word processor. She told him she was writing a story. ‘What’s it about?’ he asked. ‘I don’t know,’ she replied. ‘I can’t read.

7. I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying, ‘Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!’

8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, ‘It’s no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.’

9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, ‘I’m not sure.’ ‘Look in your underwear, Grandpa,’ he advised. ‘Mine says I’m four to six.’

10. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, ‘Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.’ The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. ‘That’s interesting,’ she said, ‘how do you make babies? ”It’s simple,’ replied the girl. ‘You just change ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’.’

11. Children’s Logic: ‘Give me a sentence about a public servant,’ said a teacher. The small boy wrote: ‘The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.’ The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. ‘Don’t you know what pregnant means?’ she asked. ‘Sure,’ said the young boy confidently. ‘It means carrying a child.’

12. A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog’s duties. ‘They use him to keep crowds back,’ said one child. ‘No,’ said another, ‘He’s just for good luck.’ A third child brought the argument to a close. ‘They use the dogs,’ she said firmly, ‘to find the fire hydrants.’

WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?

(Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They like other people’s.

A grandfather is a man and a grandmother is a lady!

Grandparents don’t have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn’t play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money.

When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.

They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers and also why we shouldn’t step on ‘cracks.’

They don’t say, ‘Hurry up.’

Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.

They wear glasses and funny underwear.

They can take their teeth and gums out.

Grandparents don’t have to be smart.

They have to answer questions like ‘Why isn’t God married?’ and ‘How come dogs chase cats?’

When they read to us, they don’t skip. They don’t mind if we ask for the same story over again.

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don’t have television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with us.

They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even when we’ve acted bad.

A 6-YEAR-OLD WAS ASKED WHERE HIS GRANDMA LIVED. ”OH,” HE SAID, ”SHE LIVES AT THE AIRPORT, AND WHEN WE WANT HER, WE JUST GO GET HER. THEN WHEN WE’RE DONE HAVING HER VISIT, WE TAKE HER BACK TO THE AIRPORT.”

GRANDPA IS THE SMARTEST MAN ON EARTH! HE TEACHES ME GOOD THINGS, BUT I DON’T GET TO SEE HIM ENOUGH TO GET AS SMART AS HIM!

It’s funny when they bend over; you hear gas leaks, and they blame their dog.
