Dear Family of Jesus,

Oh My Yes!

I am grateful for my teammates at Heights Christian!!! What a wonderful bunch of Men! We had another win last night, but the main thing is the fellowship and encouragement among the men!!! I threw a runner out at the plate as RayLin put the tag on the runner to end the game and we won the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also made a play at second that the guys said I went up 2 feet in the air to grab the ball and we pulled off a double play at second with a good throw from my buddy Ty in left field.The guys were kidding me that I would be on ESPN last night in the top 10 plays of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL LOL LOL

I Boast in this fun in the Lord for a couple of reasons, fellowship, love, and encouragement in Jesus Christ. It is such a great time in the Lord and I am grateful for Monday nights!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also get a kick out of the Lord…….at 56 I am playing ball and in my best health……..when I was 4 I wore a full leg brace and the Doc said, “Dwayne may never run and walk like the other kid’s.”

I know many of you have heard this story, but it is worth repeating as encouragement for many and how the Lord heals us and renews our strength……I never thought I would be playing ball the last 10 years!!

Grandpa Caraway used to say, “I would rather wear out than rust out!!!!” Grandpa farmed until he was 86!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning all!

Thanks for stopping by for a CUP!

Many have helped brew this CUP!!! WOW It is full of much goodness in our Lord! AMEN!

What lies is Satan telling you today?

You have the POWER to say, be gone from here Satan!

More thoughts on fasting………and Revival………….

Fasting is “surrender-rehearsal”, less about giving up food more about giving up your life. Max Lucado

Albert put it like this:Thank you!!! God is love.

Amen, Praise God…….We are here to offer the Love and Encouragement of Jesus Christ.

Dewey, I pray that Sharon is feeling better. What a wonderful story about your service at the Lighthouse Church in Chimayo. It is so wonderful seeing God use you to bless others. Keep it up.

My dear brothers, sisters, friends:

My heart is filled with thanksgiving to God for all His blessings on our “Festival of Love” in Rio Rancho. My heart is also filled with thanks to all of you who took the time to pray and to come and be with us. Your help in ministry — assisting us with the canopies, music, songs, preaching the Word, ministering healing and strength to all who were there — just every bit of help was greatly appreciated. Without you, we would not have been able to do what we did. Because of you, many were blessed, healed, comforted and experienced revival in their souls. Because of you, the precious Holy Spirit was released throughout Rio Rancho and beyond. We know that the atmosphere was changed and transformation began.

As the Holy Spirit says in Hebrews 6:10 –“For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.”

Grace and peace be multiplied to you, in Jesus’ Name.

Love and shalom,

Barbara Gould

More mail…………..

Taste and see that the LORD IS GOOD!
This is ringing in my spirit today. God’s goodness is at work and He is about to take the lid off!
Yes, this is not the time to retreat but press on in Christ. I tell you something so grand is coming
to us who have prevailed. Eye has not seen neither ear heard what God has prepared for those who LOVE HIM…completely sold out for JESUS…the author and finisher of our faith. Heaven is coming to earth! ONLY BELIEVE!!!

Monica Ruhl

Amen Monica!

Great message also from Rene……

Praise God for your obedience to the calling of the Holy Spirit- thanks for sharing this! My prayer this morning has been for the spirit of distraction to be cast out in Jesus name so that I might hear the Holy Spirit direction- to go to the right or to the left. Thank the Lord for your uncluttered mind and your heart to hear Him and know that voice. Because of that the Lord was able to meet the needs of many.

Blessings,

Rene

Rene, this is for you and all of us………I just opened one of my books that the Lord led me to this morning and here it is………….

Blessed are the ears that hear the pulses of the Divine whisper, and give no heed to the many whisperings of the world! Thomas a Kempis AMEN PTL.so true………

Now Rene has some very exciting news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So exciting- we have felt the power of the Holy Spirit surrounding this little baby and GOD IS AWESOME IN HIS POWER! This child has been bathed in prayer and will continue to be by our church and all of you.

Paul, my girlfriend, Sheryl, and I have all felt the power of the Holy Spirit when praying for Warrior Baby. I feel it now as I write this and the Lord is bringing tears of joy to my eyes.

Warrior Baby was beaten 3 times and the Drs said that there was only brainstem activity left. They pulled his oxygen and said he wouldn’t survive. His MRI showed a baby that would not ever be able to move. Warrior Baby breathed on his own.

We know who the Great Physician is. He is the only one who heals, and he has been miraculous in his healing. The foster mom said that when the Dr looked at the previous MRI and the baby, he remarked that the MRI was not that baby’s MRI. This MRI shows a baby that can’t move. The mom’s reply was that she reads a different book than he does! The Warrior Bay has his eyes open and tracks movements, he moves his legs and arms, cries, eats and swallows, blows bubbles, and watches his mom. He is a miracle before our eyes and we praise THE ONE TRUE GOD!!! Thank you Jesus for your healing power.

Please continue to pray for Warrior Baby- he has had a retinal hemorrhage which has caused “permanent blindness” in one eye. We know who can restore that! Pray that He will be a testimony throughout his life for Jesus’ awesome and miraculous healing power.

Rev 12:10 says we triumph over the evil one by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony!! Share this testimony of God’s awesomeness, goodness and power. He alone is sovereign.

Rev 12:10-11a Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God,and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night,has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;

Thank you Jesus!
Rene’

WE HAVE MORE EXCITING NEWS CHURCH!!!! months ago I visited Dena the Mother of KKIM’s Mistie Miles. Dena was full of cancer…brain, lungs, in her back……THE FAMILY HAD ME COME AND PRAY OVER HER AND ANOINT HER WITH OIL……..OH MY THAT DAY THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVED I COULD FEEL THE WIND!!! Dena received a check up yesterday……… no more chemo!!!! Cancer 99.9 percent gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One little spot left in one of her lungs where the cancer began that they will zap with radiation. Her Chemo chair was reserved yesterday……but no need, thank YOU JESUS!

Dena is special to me, the same name as my Grandma Moede! Plus she is the Mother of Mistie. That day the Holy Spirit shook my car on the way over as I prayed to go pray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friends…….when I opened my devotional book on the Holy Spirit today from Charles Stanley…the book opened to this page……….

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,

because He has anointed Me

To preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives

And recovery of sight to the blind

To set at liberty who are oppressed;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

Luke 4:18-19, Isaiah 61:1-2

Thank YOU LORD for the healing of Dena!!!!!!

I am just a simple man after God’s heart wanting to serve Him and His people.

This is from Pastor Bill Ruhl…………

After reading the Cup I thought, well that’s why the Lord has always had me “shoot from the hip” when I bring His message. A long time back the Lord prompted me to “study to show myself approved, but approved of Him, not man’s flattery, and to then allow Holy Spirit to bring whatever message He desired through me. We become the “dia” or pathway for Him to deliver His revelation to the hearer. So much more satisfying when you learn to “leave” your sermon on the pew and step away from the pulpit into the midst of the people. It was Jesus’s favorite style…Only what He saw and heard from the Father. You’re description of the service sounds like our gatherings every Sunday. That’s my word for you. Press in … He loves that posture in His servants. Blessings, pb

This is from Steve Bradford………..

OK, here is what I believe. God inspired the Bible, I believe that everything in it is God’s message to you and me. It does not tell us to do anything that will hurt us. If it says thou shall, that means to help yourself. If it says thou shall not, that means don’t do it. Things are pretty black and white for me. Some like to get as close to the line as possible and sometimes even blur the line. I…

believe that God and God alone should be worthy of our praise. When I see the government, who seems to want God out of the picture, try to take the credit for anyone’s success, I believe it’s wrong. That goes for any party. We seem to grow further away from our founding fathers vision each hour. They had the wisdom to build this country on the word of God. Our president doesn’t want anything to do with God by his own admission. You cannot embrace killing babies and embracing Gay as a lifestyle and honor God according to His word. The democratic party has made a big mistake by doing this. So, here’s why I believe and do the thing I do, To honor God with my life. We all have the freedom to choose whatever kind of life we want to live, God gives us that choice. You must make your own decisions and I must make mine, but please use God’s word to help guide you. For those who do not care about pleasing God, they will do whatever they want good or bad. They have the right to do so, but I want to do what is best for my God and my country.

Sandi B sent this Funny Bone in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WARNING TO US ALL!!!
Don’t wash your hair in the shower!
It’s so good to finally get a health warning that is useful!!!
INVOLVES THE SHAMPOO WHEN IT RUNS DOWN YOUR BODY WHEN YOU SHOWER
WITH IT!!!!
Shampoo Warning! I don’t know WHY I didn’t figure this out sooner! I use
shampoo in the shower! When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole
body, and Printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning,
“FOR EXTRA BODY AND VOLUME.”
No wonder I have been gaining weight! Well! I have gotten rid of that
shampoo and I am going to start showering with Dawn dish soap instead.
Its label reads,
“DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.”
Problem solved!
If I don’t answer the phone I’ll be in the shower!

What The Lord Is Saying Today

Sponsoring children opens their hearts to receive Jesus. Sometimes entire families are saved and become part of a local church. See today’s photo below and rejoice.

August 7, 2012. Brick by brick and stone by stone most homes and buildings are constructed. Put your structure on a firm and unmovable foundation and it will withstand winds and even some fire. I say unto you, “Rock upon rock. That is the way I want you to build your spiritual and temporal life.” Once you have found the Rock, start your construction piece by piece. The words from My Scripture are the essence of whom and what Jesus is and shall ever be. Be ready to give a quick and ready answer to those who question what you believe and how your house is built. Let them see that your whole life and being are built and secured upon the Rock of Ages.

Matthew 7:24-25 (MSG) “These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit-but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock.” Ras Robinson

August 7, 2012. Everything is converging. It is very important that you not let your mind wander off the variety of events happening with all the paths coming together. You don’t want to drop the ball which has been passed directly to you. This started way before you became conscious of what is happening. It was established before the beginning of time. You wonder how that can be? You will discover the many blessings of walking according to My ways. Keep your mind and emotions focused on what is now happening. Don’t get ahead or lag behind. You will learn a great lesson of the advantages of following Me according to My timing.

Psalms 119:10-12 (NASB) “With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your commandments. Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You. Blessed are You, O Lord; Teach me Your statutes.” Bev Robinson

August 7, 2012.Embrace each day as fresh and new. Though you may be experiencing heartache that will not end, receive My joy! When it seems like you are taking two steps forward and three steps back in whatever direction you choose, receive My joy! Acknowledge Me at every junction in your life. No matter what your circumstances may be right now or have been, receive My joy! Live in the present, in the here and now. Your spiritual forefathers chose not to live in the past, neither should you. Let the water of My word wash over you every day. Greet each day I’ve provided with newness of heart and mind.

Psalm 30:5 (NKJV) “For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (NKJV) “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” Kevin Robinson

Ways to Prevent a STOKE
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stroke is the number one cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States. Over the course of a lifetime, stroke affects an estimated four out of five families. Although these statistics sound dire, take heart: With these strategies, you can help your parents reduce their risk — and reduce your own at the same time.

High blood pressure means a high risk of stroke. If one of your parents has been diagnosed with prehypertension (120/80 to 139/89) or hypertension (140/90 mm Hg or higher), his blood pressure should be treated. The doctor will prescribe the appropriate medications, but your parent’s blood pressure needs regular monitoring. Although it can be a bit tricky to use, an inexpensive manual cuff (starting at about $12 at your local drugstore) is a great way to monitor blood pressure at home. But if you can’t get the hang of using it, you may want to consider investing in a blood pressure machine, which is a bit more expensive (between $70 and $150); it’s also available at your local drugstore.

Manage stress and depression.
A parent’s emotional and psychological state can have a very real effect on his physical health. Minimizing stress, anger, and depression is an important aspect of maintaining good cardiovascular health and avoiding a stroke. If your parent lives by himself, he may feel disconnected and alone.

Even if your parents still have each other, sitting around the house can lead to boredom and unhappiness. Help your parents get out, make new friends, or simply engage in stimulating activities. Their local church or community center is an excellent place to connect with other seniors.

Perhaps your parent is already a social butterfly but still seems to be having difficulty with his mood. Encourage him to try these stress-busting strategies:

-Cut back on caffeinated beverages and alcohol.
-Try meditation.
-Play relaxing music.
-Go for a walk outdoors.

If you’ve tried everything and still feel concerned about your parent’s mood, talk to his doctor. Depression is a serious but treatable illness.

Reduce the risk of blood clots.
Ask your parents’ doctor about medications that can reduce their risk of developing blood clots. The most commonly recommended medication is aspirin, which is inexpensive and can be taken at a low dose (81 milligrams is the usual recommended dose). If your parents have other medical issues, the doctor may prescribe a more potent drug.

Control other medical conditions.
If your parents have atrial fibrillation (an abnormal rhythm involving the upper two chambers of the heart), diabetes, heart valve disease, or vascular disease, they have a much greater risk of stroke. These medical conditions require careful management. Make sure their doctor knows about any such conditions and is treating them appropriately.

Talk to the doctor about medications that might increase your risk.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), rosiglitazone (for diabetes), and COX-2 inhibitors (for controlling arthritis pain) are all examples of medications that may increase the risk of stroke. Review medications with their doctor and ask if there are less risky alternatives.

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, one out of three people who have a transient ischemic attack (TIA) will suffer an acute stroke. Signs of a TIA, or ministroke, include:
– Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg – especially on one side of the body
– Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
– Sudden trouble seeing out of one or both eyes
– Sudden difficulty walking, loss of balance or coordination, dizziness

Keep “bad” cholesterol levels low.
One of the major risk factors for stroke is a high bloodstream level of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. Ideally, your parent’s total cholesterol should be no more than 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) and no more than five times the level of HDL or “good” cholesterol; his LDL levels should be below 70 mg/dL. Make sure his cholesterol levels are checked regularly and treated if necessary. Following a low-fat diet and exercising regularly may help, but it might not be enough. If his cholesterol levels don’t respond to lifestyle changes, his doctor may prescribe medication.

Follow a heart-healthy diet.
The best diet for preventing stroke is the one recommended by the American Heart Association. Choose a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry, lean meats, and low-fat or fat-free dairy products. Your parent should limit intake of fat (total fat between 25 and 35% of daily calories, saturated fat less than 7%, and trans fat less than 1%), cholesterol (less than 200 milligrams per day if LDL levels are high, less than 300 milligrams per day if they aren’t), and sodium (less than 1,500 milligrams per day for high blood pressure, less than 2,300 milligrams per day otherwise). Your mother should consume no more than one alcoholic beverage per day, your father no more than two. And they should each eat 25 to 30 grams of dietary fiber every day.

Encourage regular exercise.
Exercise is essential for general cardiovascular health and is key to preventing a stroke. But how much exercise is enough? The Centers for Disease Control and the American Heart Association recommend accumulating at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity at least five days a week on most days. This doesn’t mean your parents need to do half an hour of aerobics five days a week; instead, you can encourage short bursts of activity throughout the day. Just parking farther away from the store and walking the extra distance, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator, can quickly add up. But before your parents begin any exercise program, they should talk to their doctor about any restrictions they might have.

Help them stop smoking.
Smoking is one of the biggest risk factors for stroke. If your parents or anyone who lives in their home smokes, quitting is essential to good health. Just living with a smoker increases the risk of stroke by almost 30%. But recognize that stopping smoking isn’t easy.

Here are a few ways you can help:
– Ask your parents what they think would make it easier for them. They may have suggestions you haven’t thought of.
– Encourage them to talk about their feelings and what they’re going through. Smoking may be a comforting lifelong habit; let them mourn a little.
– You may be tempted to nag or yell if they slip up, but it’s more effective to remind them that you love them no matter what. Be positive and encouraging — and vent your frustration to a friend instead.
– Help them avoid situations that trigger the desire for a smoke. If they’re used to enjoying a cigarette after meals, try going for a short walk outside instead.
– Be understanding as they go through withdrawal symptoms. Try not to take it personally if they’re especially irritable, short-tempered, and tired.
– Quit smoking yourself. If you must smoke, don’t smoke around your parents. Not only will it make quitting more difficult for them, but the secondhand smoke will increase their risk of heart attack.
– If your parents find it too difficult to quit on their own, talk to their doctor. Nicotine replacement therapy, support groups, and counseling may all be helpful.

I left my sermon in the pew…..CUP

August 6, 2012 by radiodewey@aol.com Leave a Comment

Dear Family of Jesus,

Good Morning!!!

Thanks for stopping by for a CUP!

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” – 2 Corinthians 9:8

I love this posted by Pastor Brenton Franks on his Facebook…….

There are a lot of conflicting views in our world and voices and opinions looking for oxygen and motivation, but truth is only found in knowing and listening to God. Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (NKJV)

What a beautiful morning we awoke to! We got some rain here on the Westside at the Moede ranch!
Nice and cool this morning also! Thank YOU LORD!

WOW! I was blown away in the Holy Spirit yesterday at the Lighthouse Church in Chimayo. Sharon could not go because she was sick, please pray for her. The Holy Spirit is moving so strong in this Church and outside it’s walls!

The Praise and Worship led by Pastor Kevin is at a high level! The most Holy Spirit filled Praise and Worship I have ever been around..This is why Sharon and I love to go to the Lighthouse! Pastor Kevin and the other members, like Kevin’s Dad, my Dear Dear friends Jeanell and her husband JR………and the other members are just AMAZING! Kevin plays the keyboard while he sings and preaches!!

By the time it was for me to deliver the message I had prepared the Holy Spirit told me to leave my sermon in the pew! I had worked all week on it….but we must be obedient to the Spirit of God!

God knows the needs of the people in the pew’s…..He wanted my message to meet those needs!

I asked the question, “What lie is Satan having you believe about yourself?”

I asked folks to raise their hands and share………….it was very quiet………I asked again…..

What lie is Satan telling you about yourself?

Then the hands began to come up……….people needed prayer………….they needed to be touched and hugged…….they need to be prayed over………anointed with oil………

Around 250 people were present for the service and many also came to lay their hands on their hurting friends.

People shared about their cancer, other illnesses, family problems, many other challenges. Everything from pornography, shyness……….to I miss my Grandpa.

I went right into the pews………..I did not wait for the people to come to me, I went to them……all led by the Holy Spirit.

More stayed for prayer after.

Picture this in your mind please………The Holy Spirit moving and people melting under the Power of the Holy Spirit taking a bulldozer to their problems and shoving them out of their body and dealing with it.

The Holy Spirit moved in a powerful way……..the Praise and Worship before the message raised the level of Worship and Praise to an AWESOME level and the Holy Spirit moved in in a Mighty Way! AMEN!

I was always told by my Uncle Joe…the Lord will give you the Words……..and I left my sermon in the Pew………..and God gave His message……..that Satan has been defeated and we have won, may the Blood of Jesus be over all of you this day and all days..

The Lighthouse Church is a very special place……..people making themselves vulnerable in the Lord and sharing their challenges so all can be specific in their prayers for them and friends laying their hands on them while I anointed them with oil and prayed over them……….

It is a very special place……pastor Kevin said as he wrapped up the service……there is Freedom in this place……..AMEN! PRAISE GOD! There certainly is freedom at the Lighthouse in Chimayo……..such a wonderful CLEAN feeling in the Lord, Freedom to make yourself vulnerable…………

Everyone has a challenge………..It is a beautiful thing when the Body of Christ can come together and pray over those needs and you see the Holy Spirit moving to meet those needs.

I praise God for Pastor Kevin and all at the Lighthouse, it is a very special place of God.

After the service I went to pray for Karen a young lady who is bedridden, please pray for super natural healing for Karen……..She looked me right in the eye and was trying to talk to me. Right now she cannot walk or talk. I believe she is being healed. Please pray with me for complete healing for our new friend.

As the Lord moves I may share other stories from this visit.

I thank the Lord on how He is blessing me and Sharon as we go out………..and Preach and pray!

This morning I pray the Blood of Jesus Christ over all of you………….

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood……for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul. Lev. 17:11

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Eph 1:7

“….that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14

There were revivals in Rio Rancho and Belen this past weekend. I Preached in Rio Rancho Saturday. Babara Gould gave a good report from Rio Rancho fro God’s Glory Alone, as she said! and I talked with Pastor Richard Garcia by phone yesterday on the way up to Chimayo and he said the Revival in Belen was AMAZING!!!! PRAISE GOD!

Let us pray for Ruby Wells who is struggling since her last brain surgery. Please pray for complete healing.

What The Lord Is Saying Today

Thank you for your help to feed the hungry children. See photo below of some of the children you are helping with food and nutrition.

August 6, 2012. In our church service today, a prophetic word came that God was healing a problem with being vain. Another word was that God was healing veins and vanity with power-like energy from a lightning strike. I realized God was speaking to me about vanity. Have you heard of deveining a shrimp? The Lord said to me, “You are feeling humiliated with the weight of your vanity. Because of vanity you are attempting to do things beyond your present ability and resources. You are overly determined to redeem the years and accomplish the impossible. Humble yourself and receive the deveining of your vanity. Confess your sin.” I did. Do you have an issue with vanity?
Psalm 6:8-10 (MSG) “Get out of here, you Devil’s crew: at last GOD has heard my sobs. My requests have all been granted, my prayers are answered. Cowards, my enemies disappear. Disgraced, they turn tail and run.” Ras Robinson

August 6, 2012. I wanted to have a Bible Study in my home with lost and unchurched people. I planned to invite people after a neighborhood tennis tournament. My partner and I beat the best players in the club. After the match while being congratulated I bent over to tie my shoe and one who lost poured the rest of her can of beer on my head. I was later told the reason the Bible Study was such a success was the way I reacted as the can of beer was being poured. “Your present testing is for the good reward which will come. I know it is hard but you will pass.”
Hebrews 11:17-19 (NLT) “It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac,even though God had told him, “Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted.” “Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again. And in a sense, Abraham did receive his son back from the dead.” Bev Robinson

August 6, 2012. Even though you get knocked down sometimes, you have not been nor ever will be defeated. Holy Spirit dwells deep within your heart enabling you to be more than a conqueror. You have been equipped to be resilient when hard times surround you. Remember tough times don’t last, but tough people do. Over two thousand years ago the enemy of your soul thought he had Me knocked out. He still believes he can defeat you. Choose decisively to live above the fray. Embrace exclusively who I say you are! Discipline yourself to know Me intimately. Meditate and practice scripture. Submit to what God says and see His glory revealed!

Let me share this with you……..Last week as I told you my first Boss in Radio passed away……..Oscar Halverson…….I talked to his Son David the other day and we exchanged wonderful stories of his Dad. Oscar lived a Godly life. What will our Obituary look like?

	Birth Date:		June 24, 1918

	Place of Birth:		Wildrose, North Dakota

	Date Departed:		July 31, 2012

	Resided:		Williston, North Dakota

	Age:		94

Oscar H. Halvorson, 94, a longtime Williston resident, passed away Tuesday morning, July 31, 2012 at the Bethel Lutheran Home in Williston, North Dakota.

Oscar Henry Halvorson (94) was born on June 24, 1918 to Knut and Rebecca (Onstad) Halvorson on their homestead near Wildrose, ND. He was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church in Wildrose. Speaking his first language, Norwegian, delayed his starting school for one year. He attended school in Wildrose, graduating from Wildrose High School in 1937.

Oscar was an “early adopter of technology”. As a boy in the Depression, he saved pennies to buy a book on radio electronics and built projects from the book with scrounged components. This was the beginning of his becoming a radio and television broadcast pioneer, as well as an amateur ham radio operator (KØVOC and W7IOW) .

He began his studies at the University of North Dakota (UND), Grand Forks, in civil engineering. After his freshman year, he entered the CCCs (Civilian Conservation Corps) to earn money to continue his university studies. During his three years of service at the Medicine Lake Wildlife Refuge in Montana he attained the highest possible civilian rating.

Following his CCC service, he returned to UND as a sophomore, majoring in accounting and minoring in economics, graduating in 1944. He was a member of Beta Alpha Psi, the national scholastic accounting fraternity. While at UND he lived for one year in student housing known as “Camp Depression” which was comprised of narrow gauge rail box cars. He developed many lifelong friendships among his roommates. In addition to his academic studies, he passed the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) first class radio and telephone operator exam. This allowed him to work as a licensed operator at both the commercial radio station KILO (Grand Forks, ND) and as the engineer at the UND campus radio station KFJM. While working at KFJM he met his future bride, Fay, who was also a UND student and employee of the radio station.

He returned to the family farm near Wildrose due to his father’s illness. Following his father’s death, he was recruited as the chief engineer for KGCX radio station in Sidney, MT. His brother-in-law, Willard Magnuson, assumed the farming responsibilities.

On June 18, 1946 he was united in marriage to Fay Carol Lufkin of Grand Forks, ND at the Methodist Episcopal Church in Grand Forks. They established their home in Sidney, MT. To this union three sons and two daughters were born.

In 1956 he and his wife bought radio station KSTV in Stephenville, TX. In 1957 he was recruited as the first Williston based chief engineer at the newly on-air television station KUMV-TV. During 16 years at KUMV he was promoted to general manager, while continuing as the chief engineer. In 1962 he and wife Fay, with two partners, launched radio station KGCA in Rugby, ND. In 1972, he and his wife with a partner purchased KGCX – AM radio station (Sidney, MT/Williston, ND). In 1981 they launched the FM station KGCH (Sidney, MT).

Throughout his life he continued his farming interests. He built his own farm in the Wildrose area with the assistance of his wife and five children. He continued actively farming into his “retirement” years.

Oscar had many interests and activities. While living in Sidney, MT he was a Toastmaster. For more than 50 years he was active in Rotary International, joining his first club in Stephenville, TX. As a committed and passionate member of the Williston Rotary Club, he served in many capacities, including President. He enjoyed having his children join him as his guests at Club meetings. For his many years of commitment and achievements, the Rotary International bestowed him its highest honor to members, the Paul Harris Award.

His faith and active church membership were central to his life. As a member of Pella Lutheran Church in Sidney, MT he served as treasurer and trustee. In Williston, he was a member of First Lutheran Church, serving as a Sunday School teacher, church council and pastoral search committee member. Together with his wife, Fay, he completed the two-year Bethel Bible Trainee series. He was also a member of the Williston Gideons. Oscar served as president of the North Dakota Broadcasters’ Associations. He attended several NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) conventions.

He was an avid reader of a wide range of non-fiction books and literature, reading everything cover to cover.

Travel was of great interest to Oscar, both across the US (including Hawaii) and internationally. He and his wife travelled through the Panama Canal and to Israel and Egypt. He especially enjoyed several summer fishing trips in Canada with business friends and associates.

He was a Friends of Scouting supporter. His eight Eagle Scouts (three sons and five grandsons) gave him immense pride.

His favorite times were spent with his family.

Oscar is survived by his wife of 66 years, Fay, three sons, David Philip Halvorson (Sidney, MT); Richard Nathan Halvorson (Williston, ND); Thomas Roger and Marilyn (Leastman) Halvorson (Sidney, MT); two daughters, Cynthia Karen (Bernd Waldmann) Halvorson (Zurich Switzerland) and Deborah Gail Halvorson (Minneapolis, MN); five grandsons, Barry F Halvorson (Billings, MT); Ronny M Halvorson (Minot, ND); Leif E and Kim (Miller) Halvorson (Sidney, MT); Cedric A and Megan (Oldynski) Halvorson (Bowbells, ND) and Haans J Halvorson (Sidney, MT); two granddaughters, Charla Halvorson-Opsta and Cozette E Halvorson (Bismarck, ND); and four great-grandsons and three great-granddaughters; and one sister-in-law Phyllis E Lufkin (Mill Creek, WA).

Oscar was preceded in death by his parents; his baby brother Melvin E Halvorson; his sisters Inez (Willard) Magnuson and Gladys (Robert) Anderson and his brothers-in law Willard Magnuson and Robert E Anderson.

Memorial contributions can be given to Boy Scouts of America (Northern Lights Council); Gideon’s Society, Salvation Army and youth homes.

The Everson Funeral Home of Williston is caring for the family.

God Bless the Memory of Oscar!

What The Lord Is Saying Today

Thank you for your help to feed the hungry children. See photo below of some of the children you are helping with food and nutrition.

August 4, 2012. Blessed are you if you had or have an earthly father who taught and instructed concerning God and life. From my father, I learned mostly by watching and following him. My son and daughter knew their mother and I were committed to God, His church and our neighbors. When they were teenagers, they were taught to read their Bibles in the mornings and come to breakfast with something they would like to share. Both of them, their mates and their children follow the Lord in like manner. My heart overflows with joyful praise. Fathers today have every opportunity to raise godly children who walk in faith and love. May you be blessed as you do so. The time is now.

Proverbs 4:1-2 (NASB) “Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father, and give attention that you may gain understanding, for I give you sound teaching; Do not abandon my instruction.” Ras Robinson

August 4, 2012. I see and know your heart. Nothing is hidden from Me. You know that and it gives you great comfort. You are not trying to hide. You want everything laid bare before Me. You want to do My will and have no desire to go your own way. This brings Me great pleasure. We are on the same frequency. The concern is you think you heard Me, but the way it is now doesn’t seem to be working. Remember you have an enemy the devil who is fighting you at every turn, because your heart and mind is set to do My will. Don’t give up. My plan will soon emerge.

Galatians 6:8-9 (NASB) “Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.” Bev Robinson

August 4, 2012. On Thursday, August 2nd, we experienced a full moon. On August 31st, we’ll have another full moon. The second full moon in one month is known as a “blue moon” This is where the saying “once in a blue moon” comes from, which is a way of saying it does not occur very often. The Lord says, “Though this event does not happen very often, it is sign for you to accomplish My purposes and plans. Get yourself in line with My calendar. Institute My order within your heart. I am serious about finishing what I started. Align your ways with My ways. Can you wrap your mind around what I am accomplishing?”

Isaiah 55:7-9 (NKJV) “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.”For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Kevin Robinson

here is Doctor Joe………

Few things feel more terrifying and random than a stroke, which can strike without warning. And fear of stroke—when a blood vessel in or leading to the brain bursts or is blocked by a blood clot, starving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients—is well founded. After all, stroke is the number-three killer in the U.S., affecting more than 700,000 people each year.

Here are five foods that cause the damage that leads to a stroke…

Muffins, doughnuts, chips, crackers, and many other baked goods are high in trans fats, which are hydrogenated oils popular with commercial bakeries because they stay solid at room temperature, so the products don’t require refrigeration. Also listed on labels as “partially hydrogenated” or hydrogenated oils, trans fats are found in all kinds of snack foods, frozen foods, and baked goods, including salad dressings, microwave popcorn, stuffing mixes, frozen tater tots and French fries, cake mixes, and whipped toppings. They’re also what makes margarine stay in a solid cube. The worst offenders are fried fast foods such as onion rings, French fries, and fried chicken.

Why it’s bad: For years scientists have known trans fats are dangerous artery-blockers, upping the concentrations of lipids and bad cholesterol in the blood and lowering good cholesterol. Now we can add stroke to the list of dangers. This year researchers at the University of North Carolina found that women who ate 7 grams of trans fat each day — about the amount in two doughnuts or half a serving of French fries—had 30 percent more strokes (the ischemic type, caused by blocked blood flow to the brain) than women who ate just 1 gram a day. Another recent study, also in women, found that trans fats promoted inflammation and higher levels of C-reactive protein, which have been linked to an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

What to do: Aim to limit trans fats to no more than 1 or 2 grams a day — and preferably none. Avoid fast-food French fries and other fried menu items and study packaged food labels closely. Even better, bake your own cookies, cakes, and other snacks. When you can’t, search out “health-food” alternative snacks, such as Terra brand potato chips and traditional whole grain crackers such as those made by Finn, Wasa, AkMak, Ryvita, and Lavasch.

Whether your weakness is pastrami, sausage, hot dogs, bacon, or a smoked turkey sandwich, the word from the experts is: Watch out.

Why it’s bad: Smoked and processed meats are nasty contributors to stroke risk in two ways: The preserving processes leave them packed with sodium, but even worse are the preservatives used to keep processed meats from going bad. Sodium nitrate and nitrite have been shown by researchers to directly damage blood vessels, causing arteries to harden and narrow. And of course damaged, overly narrow blood vessels are exactly what you don’t want if you fear stroke.

Many studies have linked processed meats to coronary artery disease (CAD); one meta-analysis in the journal Circulation calculated a 42-percent increase in coronary heart disease for those who eat one serving of processed meat a day. Stroke is not the only concern for salami fans; cancer journals have reported numerous studies in the past few years showing that consumption of cured and smoked meats is linked with increased risk of diabetes and higher incidences of numerous types of cancer, including leukemia.

What to do: If a smoked turkey or ham sandwich is your lunch of choice, try to vary your diet, switching to tuna, peanut butter, or other choices several days a week. Or cook turkey and chicken yourself and slice it thin for sandwiches.

Although replacing sugary drinks with diet soda seems like a smart solution for keeping weight down—a heart-healthy goal—it turns out diet soda is likely a major bad guy when it comes to stroke.

Why it’s bad: People who drink a diet soda a day may up their stroke risk by 48%. A Columbia University study presented at the American Stroke Association’s 2011 International Stroke Conference followed 2,500 people ages 40 and older and found that daily diet soda drinkers had 60% more strokes, heart attacks, and coronary artery disease than those who didn’t drink diet soda. Researchers don’t know exactly how diet soda ups stroke risk—and are following up with further studies—but nutritionists are cautioning anyone concerned about stroke to cut out diet soda pop.

What to do: Substitute more filtered water for soda in your daily diet. It’s the healthiest thirst-quencher by far. If you don’t like water, put several squirts of lemon or lime in it.

The respected journal Stroke published a study showing that women who consumed a large portion of red meat each day had a 42% higher incidence of stroke, it got nutrition experts talking. The information that red meat, with its high saturated fat content, isn’t healthy for those looking to prevent heart disease and stroke wasn’t exactly news. But the percentage increase (almost 50%!) was both startling and solid; the researchers arrived at their finding after following 35,000 Swedish women for ten years.

Why it’s bad: Researchers have long known that the saturated fat in red meat raises the risk of stroke and heart disease by gradually clogging arteries with a buildup of protein plaques. Now it turns out that hemoglobin, the ingredient that gives red meat its high iron content, may pose a specific danger when it comes to stroke. Researchers are investigating whether blood becomes thicker and more viscous as a result of the consumption of so-called heme iron, specifically upping the chance of strokes.

What to do: Aim to substitute more poultry—particularly white meat—and fish, which are low in heme iron, for red meat. Also, choose the heart-healthiest sources of protein whenever you can, especially beans, legumes, nuts, tofu, and nonfat dairy. Purchase your red meat from sources that specialize in grass fed, hormone free beef.

Whether it’s canned soup, canned spaghetti, or healthy-sounding frozen dinners, prepared foods and mixes rely on sodium to increase flavor and make processed foods taste fresher. Canned soup is cited by nutritionists as the worst offender; one can of canned chicken noodle soup contains more than 1,100 mg of sodium, while many other varieties, from clam chowder to simple tomato, have between 450 and 800 mg per serving. Compare that to the American Heart and Stroke Association’s recommendation of less than 1,500 mg of sodium daily and you’ll see the problem. In fact, a nutritionist-led campaign, the National Salt Reduction Initiative, calls on food companies to reduce the salt content in canned soup and other products by 20% in the next two years.

Why it’s bad: Salt, or sodium as it’s called on food labels, directly affects stroke risk. In one recent study, people who consumed more than 4,000 mg of sodium daily had more than double the risk of stroke compared to those who ate 2,000 mg or less. Yet the Centers for Disease Control estimate that most Americans eat close to 3,500 mg of sodium per day. Studies show that sodium raises blood pressure, the primary causative factor for stroke. And be warned: Sodium wears many tricky disguises, which allow it to hide in all sorts of foods that we don’t necessarily think of as salty. Some common, safe-sounding ingredients that really mean salt:

– Baking soda
– Baking powder
– MSG (monosodium glutamate)
– Disodium phosphate
– Sodium alginate

What to do: Make your own homemade soups and entrees, then freeze individual serving-sized portions. Buy low-sodium varieties, but read labels carefully, since not all products marked “low sodium” live up to that promise.

He was full of fun in his impersonation of Mr. Haney! Tom has become a great friend. He Preaches in Church’s around the Country, years ago he traveled a bit with Billy Graham. We are praying to bring here to New Mexico. We also talked about how we need Revival in this Country! He is heading up a Movie Project, “Return to Petticoat Junction” Remember that show? Good times!

Before I go any further, I was asked what is Revival? This came from a Dear Christian friend. Many in the Church do not know what Revival means. I am thankful folks can ask me anything.

This is an AWESOME writing on Revival from C.H. Spurgeon in 1866………

THE word “revival” is as familiar in our mouths as a household word. We are constantly speaking about and praying for a “revival;” would it not be as well to know what we mean by it? Of the Samaritans our Lord said, “Ye worship ye know not what,” let him not have to say to us, “Ye know not what ye ask.” The word “revive” wears its meaning upon its forehead; it is from the Latin, and may be interpreted thus—to live again, to receive again a life which has almost expired; to rekindle into a flame the vital spark which was nearly extinguished.
When a person has been dragged out of a pond nearly drowned, the bystanders are afraid that he is dead, and are anxious to ascertain if life still lingers. The proper means are used to restore animation; the body is rubbed, stimulants are administered, and if by God’s providence life still tarries in the poor clay, the rescued man opens his eyes, sits up, and speaks, and those around him rejoice that he has revived. A young girl is in a fainting fit, but after a while she returns to consciousness, and we say, “she revives.” The flickering lamp of life in dying men suddenly flames up with unusual brightness at intervals, and those who are watching around the sick bed say of the patient, “he revives.”
In these days, when the dead are not miraculously restored, we do not expect to see the revival of a person who is totally dead, and we could not speak of the re-vival of a thing which never lived before. It is clear that the, term “revival” can only be applied to a living soul, or to that which once lived. To be revived is a blessing which can only be enjoyed by those who have some degree of life. Those who have no spiritual life are not, and cannot be, in the strictest sense of the term, the subjects of a revival. Many blessings may come to the unconverted in consequence of a revival among Christians, but the revival itself has to do only with those who already possess spiritual life. There must be vitality in some degree before there can be a quickening of vitality, or, in other words, a revival.
A true revival is to be looked for in the church of God. Only in the river of gracious life can the pearl of revival be found. It has been said that a revival must begin with God’s people; this is very true, but it is not all the truth, for the revival itself must end as well as begin there. The results of the revival will extend to the outside world, but the revival, strictly speaking, must be within the circle of life, and must therefore essentially be enjoyed by the possessors of vital godliness, and by them only. Is not this quite a different view of revival from that; which is common in society; but is it not manifestly the correct one?
It is a sorrowful fact that many who are spiritually alive greatly need reviving. It is sorrowful because it is a proof of the existence of much spiritual evil. A man in sound health with every part of his body in a vigorous condition does not need reviving. He requires daily sustenance, but reviving would be quite out of place. If he has not yet attained maturity growth will be most desirable, but a hale hearty young man wants no reviving, it would be thrown away upon him. Who thinks of reviving the noonday sun, the ocean at its flood, or the year at its prime? The tree planted by the rivers of water loaded with fruit needs not excite our anxiety for its revival, for its fruitfulness and beauty charm every one. Such should be the constant condition of the sons of God. Feeding and lying down in green pastures and led by the still waters they ought not always to be crying, “my leanness, my leanness, woe unto me.” Sustained by gracious promises and enriched out of the fullness which God has treasured up in his dear Son, their souls should prosper and be in health, and their piety ought to need no reviving. They should aspire to a higher blessing, a richer mercy, than a mere revival. They have the nether springs already; they should earnestly cover the upper springs. They should be asking for growth in grace, for increase of strength, for greater success; they should have out-climbed and out-soared the period in which they need to be constantly crying, “Wilt thou not revive us again?” For a church to be constantly needing revival is the indication of much sin, for if it were sound before the Lord it would remain in the condition into which a revival would uplift its members. A church should be a camp of soldiers, not an hospital of invalids. But there is exceedingly much difference between what ought be and what is, and consequently many of God’s people are in so sad a state that the very fittest prayer for them is for revival. Some Christians are, spiritually, but barely alive. When a man has been let down into a vat or into a well full of bad air, yea do not wonder when he is drawn up again that he is half-dead, and urgently requires to be revived. Some Christians—to their shame be it spoken!—descend into such worldly company, not upon such unhallowed principles, and become so carnal, that when they are drawn up by God’s grace from their backsliding position they want reviving, and even need that their spiritual breath should as it were be breathed into their nostrils afresh by God’s Spirit.
When a man starves himself, continuing for a long time without food, when he is day after day without a morsel of bread between his lips, we do not marvel that the surgeon, finding him in extremities, says, “This man has weakened his system, he is too low, and wants reviving.” Of course he does, for he has brought himself by low diet into a state of weakness. Are there not hundreds of Christians—shame that it should be so!—who live day after day without feeding upon Bible truth? shall it be added without real spiritual communion with God? they do not even attend the week-night services, and they are indifferent hearers on the Lord’s day. Is it remarkable that they want reviving? Is not the fact that they do so greatly need it most dishonorable to themselves and distressing to their truly spiritual brethren?
There is, a condition of mind which is even more sad than either of the two above mentioned; it is a thorough, gradual, but certain decline of all the spiritual powers. Look at that consumptive man whose lungs are decaying, and in whom the vital energy is ebbing; it is painful to see the faintness which suffuses him after exertion, and the general languor which overspreads his weakened frame. Far more sad to the spiritual eye is the spectacle presented by spiritual consumptives who in some quarters meet us on all hands. The eye of faith is dim and overcast, and seldom flashes with holy joy; the spiritual countenance is hollow and sunken with doubts and fears; the tongue of praise is partially paralyzed, and has little to say for Jesus; the spiritual frame is lethargic, and its movements are far from vigorous; the man is not anxious to be doing anything for Christ; a horrible numbness, a dreadful insensibility has come over him; he is in soul like a sluggard in the dog-days, who finds it hard labor to lie in bed and brush away the flies from his face. If these spiritual consumptives hate sin they do it so weakly that one might fear that they loved it still. If they love Jesus, it is so coldly that it is a point of question whether they love at all. If they sing Jehovah’s praises it is very sadly, as if hallelujahs were dirges. If they mourn for sin it is only with half-broken hearts, and their grief is shallow and unpractical. If they hear the Word of God they are never stirred by it; enthusiasm is an unknown luxury. If they come across a precious truth they perceive nothing particular in it, any more than the cock in the fable, in the jewel which he found in the farmyard. They throw themselves back upon the enchanted couch of sloth, and while they are covered with rags they dream of riches and great increase of goods. It is a sad, sad thing when Christians fall into this state; then indeed they need reviving, and they must have it, for “the whole head is sick and the whole heart faint.” Every lover of souls should intercede for declining professors that the visitations of God may restore them; that the Sun of righteousness may arise upon them with healing beneath his wings.
When revival comes to a people who are in the state thus briefly described, it simply brings them to the condition in which they ought always to have been; it quickens them, gives them new life, stirs the coals of the expiring fire, and puts heavenly breath into the languid lungs. The sickly soul which before was insensible, weak, and sorrowful, grows earnest, vigorous, and happy in the Lord. This is the immediate fruit of revival, and it becomes all of us who are believers to seek this blessing for backsliders, and for ourselves if we are declining in grace.
If revival is confined to living men we may further notice that it must result from the proclamation and the receiving of living truth. We speak of “vital godliness,” and vital godliness must subsist upon vital truth. Vital godliness is not revived in Christians by mere excitement, by crowded meetings, by the stamping of the foot, or the knocking of the pulpit cushion, or the delirious bawlings of ignorant zeal; these are the stock in trade of revivals among dead souls, but to revive living saints other means are needed. Intense excitement may produce a revival of the animal, but how can it operate upon the spiritual, for the spiritual demands other food than that which stews in the fleshpots of mere carnal enthusiasm. The Holy Ghost must come into the living heart through living truth, and so bring nutriment and stimulant to the pining spirit, for so only can it be revived. This, then, leads us to the conclusion that if we are to obtain a revival we must go directly to the Holy Ghost for it, and not resort to the machinery of the professional revival-maker. The true vital spark of heavenly flame comes from the Holy Ghost, and the priests of the Lord must beware of strange fire. There is no spiritual vitality in anything except as the Holy Spirit is all in all in the work; and if our vitality has fallen near to zero, we can only have it renewed by him who first kindled it in us. We must go to the cross and look up to the dying Savior, and expect that the Holy Spirit will renew our faith and quicken all our graces. We must feed anew by faith upon the flesh and blood of the Lord Jesus, and so the Holy Ghost will recruit our strength and give us a revival. When men in India sicken in the plains, they climb the hills and breathe the more bracing air of the upper regions; we need to get nearer to God, and to bathe ourselves in heaven, and revived piety will be the sure result.
When a minister obtains this revival he preaches very differently from his former manner. It is very hard work to preach when the head aches and when the body is languid, but it is a much harder task when the soul is unfeeling and lifeless. It is sad, sad work—painfully, dolorously, horribly sad, but saddest of all if we do not feel it to be sad, if we can go on preaching and remain careless concerning the truths we preach, indifferent as to whether men are saved or lost! May God deliver every minister from abiding in such a state! Can there be a more wretched object than a man who preaches in God’s name truths which he does not feel, and which he is conscious have never impressed his own heart? To be a mere sign-post, pointing out the road but never moving in it, is a lot against which every tame heart may plead night and day.
Should this revival be granted to deacons and elders what different men it would make of them! Lifeless, lukewarm church officers are of no more value to a church, than a crew of sailors would be to a vessel if they were all fainting and if in their berths when they were wanted to hoist the sails or lower the boats. Church officers who need reviving must be fearful dead weights upon a Christian community. It is incumbent upon all Christians to be thoroughly awake to the interests of Zion, but upon the leaders most of all. Special supplication should be made for beloved brethren in office that they may be full of the Holy Ghost.
Workers in the Sunday-schools, tract distributors, and other laborers for Christ, what different people they become when grace is vigorous from what they are when their life flickers in the socket! Like sickly vegetation in a cellar, all blanched and unhealthy, are workers who have little grace; like willows by the water-courses, like grease with reeds and rushes in well-watered valleys, are the servants of God who live in his presence. It is no wonder that our Lord said, “Because thou art neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth,” for when the earnest Christian’s heart is full of fire it is sickening to talk with lukewarm people. Have not warm-hearted lovers of Jesus felt when they have been discouraged by doubtful sluggish people, who could see a lion in the way, as if they could put on express speed and run over them? Every earnest minister has known times when he has felt cold hearts to be as intolerable as the drones in the hive are to the working bees. Careless professors are as much out of place as snow in harvest among truly living Christians. As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes are these sluggards. As well be bound to a dead body as forced into union with lifeless professors; they are a burden, a plague, and an abomination. You turn to one of these cold brethren after a graciously earnest prayer-meeting, and say with holy joy, “What a delightful meeting we have had!” “Yes,” he says carelessly and deliberately, as if it were an effort to say so much, “there was a good number of people.” How his frostbitten words grate on one’s ear! You ask yourself, “Where has the man been? Is he not conscious that the Holy Ghost has been with us?” Does not our Lord speak of these people as being cast out of his mouth, just because he himself is altogether in earnest, and consequently, when he meets with lukewarm people he will not endure them? He says, “I would thou wert cold or hot,” either utterly averse to good or in earnest concerning it. It is easy to see his meaning. If you heard an ungodly man blaspheme after an earnest meeting, you would lament it, but you would feel that from such a man it was not a thing to make you vexed, for he has only spoken after his kind, but when you meet with a child of God who is lukewarm, how can you stand that? It is sickening, and makes the inmost spirit feel the horrors of mental nausea.
While a true revival in its essence belongs only to God’s people, it always brings with it a blessing for the other sheep who are not yet of the fold. If you drop a stone into a lake the ring widens continually, till the farthest corner of the lake feels the influence. Let the Lord revive a believer and very soon his family, his friends, his neighbors, receive a share of the benefit; for when a Christian is revived, he prays more fervently for sinners. Longing, loving prayer for sinners, is one of the marks of a revival in the renewed heart. Since the blessing is asked for sinners, the blessing comes from him who hears the prayers of his people; and thus the world gains by revival. Soon the revived Christian speaks concerning Jesus and the gospel; he sows good seed, and God’s good seed is never lost, for he has said, “It shall not return unto me void.” The good seed is sown in the furrows, and in some sinners’ hearts God prepares the soil, so that the seed springs up in a glorious harvest. Thus by the zealous conversation of believers another door of mercy opens to men.
When Christians are revived they live more consistently, they make their homes more holy and more happy, and this leads the ungodly to envy them, and to enquire after their secret. Sinners by God’s grace long to be like such cheerful happy saints; their mouths water to feast with them upon their hidden manna, and this is another blessing, for it leads men to seek the Savior. If an ungodly man steps into a congregation where all the saints are revived he does not go to sleep under the sermon. The minister will not let him do that, for the hearer perceives that the preacher feels what he is preaching, and has a right to be heard. This is a clear gain, for now the man listens with deep emotion; and above all, the Holy Spirit’s power, which the preacher has received in answer to prayer comes upon the hearer’s mind; he is convinced of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment to come, and Christians who are on the watch around him hasten to tell him of the Savior, and point him to the redeeming blood, so that though the revival, strictly speaking, is with the people of God, yet the result of it no man can limit. Brethren, let us seek a revival during the present month, that the year may close with showers of blessing, and that the new year may open with abundant benediction. Let us pledge ourselves to form a prayer-union, a sacred band of suppliants, and may God do unto us according to our faith.

“Father, for thy promised blessing,
Still we plead before thy throne;
For the time of sweet refreshing
Which can come from thee alone.

“Blessed earnests thou hast given,
But in these we would not rest,
Blessings still with thee are hidden,
Pour them forth, and make us blest.

“Wake thy siren bering children, wake them,
Bid them to thy harvest go;
Blessings, O our Father, make them;
Round their steps let blessing flow.

“Let no hamlet be forgotten,
Let thy showers on all descend;
That in one loud blessed anthem,
Myriads may in triumph blend.”

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” – James 1:2-4

From Smith Wiggelsworth……….

4) “Faith is an act.” Wigglesworth stormed heaven into God’s presence to
draw stronger faith for the task before him. Example: demon possessed woman who
slept 14 years and awoke delivered.
. . .
5) “If I read the newspaper I come out dirtier than I went in. If I read my
Bible, I come out cleaner than I went in, and I like being clean!” He was, as Wesley said,
“a man of one book.”

My friends, reading the following quote should make us realize that we must pick up the pace being Salt and Light to the World and being in Revival! I believe this past week we have started a nation wide awakening……….Pastor Steve Smothermon sent this to me…….

Here is a quote for you From CNN by John Moss "atheists must stop playing nice 
and leaving power to people who see ghosts. We must take the reins, lock 
religious people in mental asylums and banish religion once and for all."

That quote appeared on a CNN Blog.

Thought for the Day

“We all have times when we feel alone and lonely – like it’s one against the world – not having a friend who can help us take on the challenges that lie before us. Know that you have a friend in God. He is always working for you even when you might think no one else can or is.”

Barbara Gould has written two books, A House Divided Cannot Stand and Greater Glory. I have read Greater Glory in one sitting, I could not put it down! Many of you know how I love to read and that book is so AWESOME in our Lord.


let me share with you this from Barbara's book, A House Divided Cannot Stand........


Since God is a Spirit (John 4:24) nothing material can be used to represent Him. But God made mankind to 


reflect some of what He is in His knowledge, righteousness, and holiness and to take dominion over things 


on earth. Genesis 1:26


The word "LIKENESS" is from Hebrew word "Dh-muth" which means likeness, resemblance, similitude, 


image, model, pattern or shape.


GOD CREATED HIS MAN TO RESEMBLE HIM IN HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS


A SPIRIT BEING AND A TRIUNE BEING, IN UNITY WITH HIMSELF AND WITH HIS CREATOR!!


We are to be Christ like in everything we do and say? Are you? EVERYTHING!

What The Lord Is Saying Today

Read below excerpts from a letter from one of the pastors who care for sponsored children. Thank you for your help to feed the hungry children.

August 3, 2012. Staggering is the thought that God made man in His own image. So why would anyone want to change any part of himself? Sometimes it is medically necessary to do repair work such as we see in wounded warriors, accidents, burns, etc. And because He loves mankind so much, He is seemingly blinded to what seems to us as imperfections. God likes and love you exactly as He made you. There is a beauty He sees and delights you. When you look at yourself in the mirror, you should be in awe and wonder over how God made you. None of your appearance is distasteful to God. Rather, He is glorified by you. You make God happy simply by being yourself, just as you are, before Him. Let it stagger you daily so that you rejoice before Him with praise and dance.

Genesis 1:27-28 (NASB) “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Ras Robinson

August 3, 2012. See? There was no need to worry. Let this past experience be summed up as a lesson. In the future remember what I did this time as a result of your prayers and trust in Me. I would never do anything that would bring you harm. If it seems harmful, you will see in the end that it wasn’t harmful. At the time something is happening, if you remain walking in the Spirit you will be able to believe that what is happening is not harmful. At the time you may not see the blessing but know in your spirit a blessing will follow and no harm will come in any way.

1 Peter 5:9-11 (MSG) “Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ-eternal and glorious plans they are!-will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.” Bev Robinson

August 3, 2012. This is not meant to be a flattering word about my sister’s husband Jonas, but it’s rather an observation of a Christ given attribute he exhibits. Jonas makes space for everyone he encounters. For over thirty five years I have quietly watched him be tolerant of people and their behavior toward himself and others. He’s a friend who has been closer than a brother to me! The Lord says, “Imitate those around you who lead by example. Let My love and acceptance abound to everyone you encounter. Tolerance is not a bad word. People around you want to know if you see them as being precious regardless of their shortcomings.”

Romans 2:4 (NLT) “Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?” Kevin Robinson

A Letter From Heaven








To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say,

But first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven, where I dwell with God above,

Where there are no tears or sadness, there is just eternal Love.
Please do not be unhappy, just because I’m out of sight, Remember that I’m with you, every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me, and said, ” I welcome you”.
“It’s good to have you back again.
You were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on. I need you here so badly as part of my big plan. There’s so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.” Then God gave me a list of things he wished for me to do. And foremost on that list of mine, is to watch and care for you.

I will be beside you, every day of the week and year, And when you’re sad I’m standing there, to wipe away the tear.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day’s chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on Earth, and all those loving years,

Because you’re only human, there’s bound to be some tears.
One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over, I am closer to you now than I ever was before.
And to my many friends, trust God knows what is best. I am not far away from you, I’m just beyond the crest.
There are rocky roads ahead for you and many hills to climb, Together we can do it, taking one day at a time.
It was my philosophy and please I’d like for you,
To give unto the world, so the world will give to you.
If you can help someone who’s in sorrow or in pain,

Then you can say to God at night, my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile, Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
When you’re walking down the street and I am on your mind, I’m walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.
And when you feel a gentle breeze of wind upon your face, That’s me giving you a great big hug, or just a soft embrace. When it’s time for you to go from that body to be free,
Remember you are not going, you are coming home to me.
I will always love you, from that place way up above, I will be in touch again soon. P.S. God sends his love.



Here's Doctor Joe.........

Most of us can think of at least a few times when we took our car to the mechanic and got the sense they were trying to sell us services we didn’t need, or worse yet, overcharging us for the ones we do receive. And most of us can’t deny that we’ve felt a similarly nagging feeling from time to time while sitting on the doctor’s examining table, or in the dentist’s chair. But we don’t like to believe our intuition. It’s been ingrained into our mind that our doctor knows what’s best for us, and that their services are required and worth the money we pay. Baloney with cheese, please!

So when a special advisory medical panel met last April, they cited up to 45 overused medical tests and procedures that should be used less in doctors’ offices and hospitals. From that extra set of x-rays that isn’t needed, to pointless stress tests for perfectly healthy people, or certain questionable prescription medications, the recommendations from the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation brought to light something we’ve hardly had the courage to express, but always wanted to: Sometimes we’re just sick and tired of getting ripped off at the doctor’s.

The costs are staggering: According to the Washington Post, A National Academy of Sciences report from 2005 found that 30% of U.S. healthcare spending was either unnecessary, wasteful, or both, and that some more recent studies revealed that the spending amounted to $600 billion to $700 billion annually.

Discussion forums across the Web are filled with complaints from people who criticize their dentist or primary care physician for trying to “up sell” them with products that are not only unneeded, but costly. According to Blisstree and other sources, when our doctor is insistent on giving us extra tests or exams, it’s not to make more money, in fact, but to avoid a malpractice suit. Still, it’s not much consolation when a dentist appears more eager to push their expensive tooth whitening package than to fill your painful cavity; or when a specialist insists on the most expensive prescriptions when a cheaper, over-the-counter alternative works just as well.

If you feel that you’re paying more than you need to at the doctor, you can take control of your health (and the health of your savings account) by considering a few choices:

1. Seek out a second opinion…or a third…

Your dentist tells you that you need 10 cavities filled, seven root canals, and a new mouth of crowns–after insurance, it’ll still cost you thousands of dollars. Yet another, separate dentist may find that all you need is some minimal dental work, saving you money, time, and physical discomfort.

The good news about healthcare is that you’re not under contract or obligated to see just one doctor. If you’re unhappy with the service you’ve received or price you’ve been quoted, it’s perfectly acceptable to seek out another opinion from another doctor. Doctors are also required by law to forward your patient files or x-rays to other physicians.

Don’t feel guilty to shop around. Check with your insurance carrier–they’ll be able to tell you which doctors in your network are board certified. Don’t be afraid to refer to word-of-mouth websites like Yelp.com to see how some local specialists are rated. And when researching new physicians, see how much your co-payments will be stacked up against other doctors providing the same services.

2. Opt for medical schools and clinics.

Consider visiting a university dental or medical clinic for a checkup or exam. The cost is significantly cheaper and the care, very often, surpasses that of a regular medical practice. Most college clinic care is carried out by students under the supervision of a faculty M.D. Often, student doctors at specialty clinics, like those for chiropractic care or periodontal dental work, for example, have already received their full medical licensing.

Also consider visiting a low-cost medical clinic in your neighborhood. It’s a cost-effective way of saving money while not skimping on the level of medical care you may need. It’s a good option for the uninsured patient who can’t afford to pay full cost, out of pocket, at a conventional medical practice.

3. Group exams and medical procedures together.

Say you’ve got three cavities that need filling, and you’ve scheduled three appointments for each–but you’re unaware that there’s a new co-payment for every visit. Now you may owe hundreds of dollars out of pocket. Work with your doctor or dentist to see their availability, and group major medical procedures into a plan that’s physically, and financially, manageable for you. You can even do one better: If you’re a prospective patient, schedule a consultation with the practitioner you’ve got in mind.

Take a tour of their offices, ask about their rates, and see if you can receive an estimate of the services you may need. This can be an initial, low-cost way of diagnosing what kinds of medical services you may be in need of.

4. Avoid the up sell.

The Archives of Internal Medicine reported in 2011 that 40% of doctors polled, according to the L.A. Times, said that they ordered more tests and consultations than were necessary because they didn’t get to spend enough time with their patients to make a proper diagnosis. Depending on your insurance plan, an extra test or three can come at a huge cost to you as the patient. If you’re skeptical about a certain procedure, ask your doctor straight away if it’s absolutely needed.

And like expensive cosmetics and other top-dollar products, which claim to perform better than their cheaper contemporaries, don’t be swayed by a medical practitioner into buying pricey medicines or other items. Unless it’s prescription, there’s NO reason to buy the tube of $30 toothpaste at the dentist’s front counter when a generic $1.99 brand from the store works just as well – but make sure you buy it WITHOUT the fluoride. The same goes for prescriptions on everything from pain medication to back braces to contact lenses – your doctor may be able to prescribe you a generic brand at a savings to you.

5. Preventive care is the best medicine.

They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It can also be worth a lot to your finances, too. It goes without saying that eating right, exercising, and getting enough sleep keeps you healthy and prevents illness and disease. Some lifestyle changes may be all the treatment that’s needed to avoid costly doctor visit or exams, even those that rightly justify a high price tag. The first step in avoiding a medical rip-off is to ensure that we’re not just being honest with our choices we make in physicians and services, but the ones we make with our health.

Always keep in mind that YOU DO have the power to be well.

Have a blessed and safe weekend!

There are a lot of conflicting views in our world and voices and opinions looking for oxygen and motivation, but truth is only found in knowing and listening to God. Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (NKJV)
