Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

Good Day everyone! I don’t know when you will get this because I am late getting the CUP served up today I have been doing the early morning news shift on KKIM and KARS. Frank Haley is on vacation and Bill Ruhl is getting ready to leave on a mission trip! If you have not listened to our new format on KARS AM 860, please do so,All News, All The Time…..I will also do my afternoon shift today and play softball tonight, Lord Willing!

I am so thankful for John Bevere’s book, “Extraordinary, The Life Your Meant to Live”

Men behaving badly: A topic I discussed on Facebook this weekend…and maybe as tired as I am right now I should not dive into this subject…..but time is wasting away……..

Just in the last few days we have had a County Commissioner here behaving badly….this is the same guy who has said very bad things about women and minorities, but he get’s away with it, now he has his picture taken with call girls in the Philippines. Then we have this Albuquerque Public School Teacher who was talking to his 6th graders about Prostitution and Mistresses! And get this, The Teacher had BEEN FIRED! But still teaching! No wonder APS is failing!!!

I ask where are the men? With the County Commissioners the Women Commissioners showed up at a meeting to sensor the nut case, but the MEN DID NOT SHOW!

And as for the Teacher, the man School Supt did not know anything about it! Out of touch!

Where are the Men?

We have a Women Governor here in New Mexico who is being BOLD for Jesus, where we had a man, who was a wimp for Jesus for 8 years!

Where are the Men?

John Bevere writes, Leaders should remember this when making decisions, civil laws, or other guidelines for those they lead: to approve condone, or look away from immoral behavior is a grievous offense to God. see 1st Sam 3:1 and 1 Cor 5.

We have too many Men, so called leaders looking away from bad behavior!

Paul says,

God wants you to be Holy and completely free from sexual immorality…..

We have told you this before, and we strongly warned you that the Lord

will punish those who do this. God did not call us to live in immorality,

but in holiness. So then, whoever rejects this teaching is not rejecting a

human being, but God. 1 Thess 4:3, 6-8

Men, do not live a life of regrets!

Men are straying far from God’s heart because there are so influences by our society. In so many ways, the Church has become a subculture rather than what we are called to be—-a counterculture! AMEN!

Pursue…holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God. Hebrews 12: 14-15

Remember my friends, Holiness is to think, talk, and live as Jesus Christ! AMEN!

I better get back to the newsroom………..one more day and Frank is back on Wed! Thank YOU LORD!

Let’s check the mailbag………….

You are simply a lovely, spirit-filled man. ..

I want to thank you for the prayers for my sister, nieces and nephews; Mary’s hip surgery went well, and so far some of my nieces have had some unexpectedly high grades on their Finals ~ still not done though, so please keep all of them in prayer.

I also wanted to mention how very wonderful and touching the National Day of Prayer event was @ my daughter’s school (Hope Christian). All of the speakers were just excellent ~ the High School Principal gave a rousing prayer and they had two soldiers on hand, having just returned from the Middle East, offering their prayers and their thanks for our prayerful support of our military, political leaders and our country. The High School Praise and Worship Band performed and you could feel the Spirit in the air. So very thankful we’re able to send our baby girl to a school centered upon our Lord!!!

One last thing; I wanted to let you know that I plan to send you a check to offer support of your ministry next week. Your kind mention below just reminded me of the humble beginnings of DDC, and the amazing growth you’ve been blessed with ~ Paul and I (and actually many of my family members) are simply in awe of your dedication and so very grateful for people like you, drowning out the ‘nothing noise’…

Love and thanks to you and your beautiful wife & children,

Taunya

Kind words are like honey—sweet to the soul and healthy for the body Proverbs 16:24

Thank you for your kind words Taunya………we are working on getting the CUP Ministry to a non-profit status, please pray…..the Lord is showing me to expand this Ministry!

Let God Be Enough
Posted: 06 May 2012 11:01 PM PDT
There’s never enough, it seems.
Not enough time, luck, credit, wisdom, intelligence. So we worry. But worry doesn’t work!
Jesus said, “Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? You can dedicated a decade of anxious thoughts to the brevity of life and not extend it by one minute. Worry accomplishes nothing.”
Jesus doesn’t condemn legitimate concern for responsibilities. It’s the continuous mind-set of worry that dismisses God’s presence. It subtracts God from the future, faces uncertainties with no faith, and tallies up the challenges of the day without entering God into the equation.
Jesus said, “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe you have received it, and it will be yours!”
Let God be enough!

Here is an excellent write up by Darlene Quiring on being Salt and Light, the Mission statement of this Ministry………..

Salt provided the financial basis for art and culture. In the Middle Ages, salt was known as “White Gold.” Salt was still highly valued in the days when our Lord, Jesus Christ, was on earth. The Roman soldiers of the time were paid a salarium (Latin for salt), the basis of our modern word salary. Salt in those days was not only valued as a seasoning for food, but in a era lacking refrigeration, salt was necessary for preserving food and, for that matter, for preserving life itself. In the so-called Sermon on the Mount, Jesus told His disciples that they were the “salt of the earth.” Now much has been said and written about the obvious meanings of this scripture. We can see that, as salt seasons food by being lightly scattered upon it, so too Christians season the earth by being scattered throughout the various nations of the earth. By living in accordance with God’s Way of Life, Christians also preserve the earth by slowing the decay of morals in the society around them. But let’s look at the last part of this statement of Jesus; “You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” (Matthew 5:13). Just what did Christ mean by saying that salt could lose its savor? Have you ever tasted salt that wasn’t salty? Of course not! We know that NaCl or Sodium Chloride, our common table salt, will always taste salty as long as it remains chemically unchanged or pure. So what was Christ talking about?

In those days, houses in Jerusalem often had an upper room, used for guests or other special occasions. It was in such an upper room that Christ ate the Passover meal with His disciples shortly before His crucifixion. The floors of these rooms were made of wood overlaid with plaster. But ordinary wall plaster was too soft to be walked upon without cracking and crumbling. In order to harden the plaster for use in floors, salt was added to it. It was then suitable to be “trodden under foot of men.” Of course, this mixture then ceased to be suitable for the purpose of seasoning or preserving. Jesus was telling us that Christians need to be pure in order to be a blessing to mankind. When we mix salt with another substance, it ceases to be useable as salt. If we add a small amount, a drop, of poison to a glass of pure water, it is no longer pure water. When we mix the clear instructions of the Bible on the way God wants to be worshiped with the traditions of men, the result is a vain attempt to please Him. This is precisely what Jesus warned the Scribes and Pharisees about, saying, “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” (Mark 7:7,9). This blending of truth and error, known as syncretism, is a favorite tool of Satan the devil. People will readily see pure error for what it is, but when mixed with a sufficient amount of the truth, the error becomes believable. We see this to a large degree in the modern celebrations of Christmas and Easter. Almost no one will argue the fact that elements like mistletoe, ivy and evergreen trees or chocolate bunnies and colored eggs are not found in the Bible and in fact, come to us from non-Christian sources. However, they will argue that today, these things are used to honor and worship Jesus Christ and the Father. What does God have to say about this kind of blended worship? “When the LORD your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go to possess them, and you succeed them, and dwell in their land; Take heed to yourself that you be not snared by following them, after they are destroyed from before you; and that you inquire not after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods?’ even so will I do likewise. You shall not do so unto the LORD your God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hates, have they done unto their gods” (Deuteronomy 12:29-30). God has given us very clear instructions in the Bible on how He wants us to worship Him. His Holy Days, commandments, statutes and judgments are all laid out for us to read and follow. We should not try to improve on them, but simply do them. Darlene Quiring

Thank you Darlene AWESOME WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rekindling the Flame of Our Ministry

Read | 2 Timothy 1:6-7
What do you do when you’ve lost your enthusiasm for ministry? Perhaps difficult circumstances have led to discouragement. Or maybe you just keep going, but the Spirit seems absent and no fruit is visible. Paul told Timothy to “kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you” (v. 6), but how is that accomplished? Over the years, God has taught me what to do whenever I sense that my flame is beginning to flicker.
Refill: Ministry is exciting when we’re filled with the Holy Spirit, but everyone springs a leak now and then. Get on your knees before the Lord and ask for a refill. Examine your life, repent of any sins, and submit to His leadership in every area.
Refocus: Nothing dims the flame like fixing your eyes on the problem. Whenever we focus on obstacles, they grow larger. But when we shift our eyes to Christ, He becomes bigger than any problem we face.
Reject: When we’re down, the Devil whispers his lies into our minds: You can’t do this. No one appreciates you. Why not call it quits? We need to recognize all discouraging thoughts as coming from him–and reject them.
Retreat: Turn off the phone, electronics, and entertainment, and get away with the Lord to rekindle your intimate relationship with Him.
After going through all these steps, you will be able to return to ministry with new enthusiasm and commitment. Hard circumstances may remain, but you’ll be equipped to handle them because the Spirit’s flame is burning brightly within you. Rely on Him, and He will empower you for service.

Diane Markins who is on KKIm Wed’s at 2:30 and writes for CBN and the Presidential Prayer Team, was with me Friday on NM News and Views to talk about her most recent posting……..

A Moral Problem”

The biblical take on government spending

by Diane Markins
President Barack Obama’s 2013 budget proposal is receiving mixed reviews, as does every other proposal in the U.S. political jungle. Each person weighing in has a unique set of criteria used to evaluate “good” spending and “bad” spending; “necessary” cuts and “critical” tax breaks. The words are the same, but they take on new meaning according to who uses them. Is it possible to find a universal language and matrix that everyone can adopt?
In a report released April 20 by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), it was estimated that the president’s proposed budget would boost the economy initially, but would cause a decline in later years. The report concluded that increased deficit spending would hinder the economy after the first five years.
The bottom line of this analysis from the nonpartisan CBO: President Obama’s budget would add $6.4 trillion to the national debt over 10 years, which is $3.5 trillion more than under current law.
The president is required to submit a budget to Congress every year. The House of Representatives and the Senate are required to pass a budget annually. While the House (controlled by Republicans) passed a budget in March, the Senate (controlled by Democrats) hasn’t passed a budget since 2009. What is the consequence and where is the accountability for not meeting this mandate?
Predictably, there is an extreme lack of support for the president’s budget from the House. In a vote last month it failed 414-0. In a recent speech, President Obama said the Republican budget is a “dishonest attempt to help the rich at the expense of the poor.” GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney says that the president’s economic policies have been harmful to the country.
Is the budget simply another political agenda with posturing on both sides or is there more to consider from a Christian perspective? More important than the budget might be the question of the government’s overall role. The Bible is replete with verses on the significance of taking care of the poor such as Leviticus 25:47-48, Deuteronomy 14:28-29 and Psalm 9:18. Scripture also says a lot about personal responsibility (Galatians 6:5, Luke 12:48 and Genesis 1:28) However, much of this is in reference to individuals as well as Christians, not the government.
In much of the Old Testament, references to government often refer to Israel, whom God favored. It would be inaccurate to apply all of those examples and scriptures in a sweeping motion to American government spending today. However, there is a moral imperative that can be derived from the Bible and applies for all time to all individuals as well as governments. It is simply wrong to create and leave an inheritance of debt to future generations.
“This is absolutely a moral problem,” said Jordan Ballor, research fellow at the Acton Institute, an organization that “promotes liberty and religious freedom.” He goes on, “We have an irresponsible government. It doesn’t have anything to do with one administration or another, one party or another; we’ve got a federal government that for decades upon decades has been spending more than it has been taking in, has been irresponsible, and needs to be taken into account.”
You don’t have to rely on instincts, trends or politics to know that going deeper into debt is wrong. The Bible spells it out in a way that is universally true.
Paul says in II Corinthians 12:14 (NIV), “Children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.” Proverbs 22:7 says, “The borrower is the slave to the lender.” Accordingly, Christian voters should expect wise, thoughtful money management to be a high priority target at which elected officials aim as the 2012 race for the White House gains intensity.
When you go before the Lord with your concerns, include these requests to Him:

• Install a servant’s heart into those elected to serve.
• Convict politicians of the importance of managing the country’s resources wisely.
• Move your people to speak up against increasing the debt for future generations.
• Prompt believers to be generous and compassionate to the poor.
• Inspire those who are able-bodied to work as though they are working for you.

I first brought it at a time when you most needed it. Throughout your life I will continue to bring comfort to you through things that you haven’t heretofore thought about. They will also come at the right time…when you need them. You are my child and I know you better than you know yourself. Think on these things that I bring to your hearing, sight, smell, touch and taste… your senses; rather than on the circumstances that drag you down.

May 7, 2012. Can you allow Me to minister to you? Will you allow Me to minister to you? Your sorrow has lasted long enough. Let My joy come into the situation you are dealing with. At times you actually find a form of comfort in staying in your sorrow. It should not be this way. You have become raw from the tears and discomfort. Let Me dry your tears and minister My peace to you. Psalm 30:5 says, “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.” Let My favor and joy come upon you.

Energy Boosters to Get You Through the Day
These natural energy boosters are proved to work. Eating energy-rich foods, doing self-acupressure, and staying hydrated are a few ways to remain alert without the dangers of energy drinks.

Back away from the excessive caffeine (usually more than about three cups of black coffee a day). If you want to short-circuit your slump without feeling wired, you want a smoother, less jolting solution. These natural energy lifters are proven to work:

– Snap open the shades. A jolt of morning light – scientists call it the dawn signal – activates special cells in your eyes that send a wake-up call to your brain’s internal clock. Light up your brain at lunch, too. Sitting beside a sunny window for 30-minutes midday makes you more wide awake. In one study, women who did scored better on alertness tests afterward.
– Top off your tank. Getting to the point where you’re just starting to feel thirsty – a mere 2.6% drop in hydration levels – can double your feelings of fatigue. It made study volunteers work twice as hard on a set of brain-teasing puzzles.
– Squeeze your hand or tap your head. Sounds crazy, but do-it-yourself acupressure boosts alertness as effectively as a small cup of coffee, say University of Michigan researchers. Rap your knuckles a few times on the top of your head, squeeze the fleshy pad between your thumb and first finger, or massage the base of your skull and the front of your shins.
– Have salad and grilled chicken for lunch. Not the tuna melt, pizza, or meatloaf. High-fat foods are likely to make you moodier and more tired by midafternoon than lower-fat meals are, according to a British study. Digesting fat releases a hormone called cholecystokinin, which seems to provoke a brain drain.
– Take a tea break. Black, green, and white teas all contain the energizing amino acid L-theanine. Brits given L-theanine plus caffeine equivalent to several cups of tea and a cup of coffee increased their speed on word and number problems and felt less tired than when they got either substance alone. Nope, there’s no L-theanine in coffee.
– Catch a cat nap. Close your office door or slip out to your car for a quick snooze. In NASA-funded research, a siesta boosted the performance of long-haul airline pilots by 34%.
– Splash your face. If even a 20-minute nap leaves you groggy, stop in the restroom and splash cool water on your face. Volunteers who did this in one study felt the most awake after a snooze. Surprisingly, having coffee just before your nap and then splashing your face afterward seems to be the perfecta of wake-up calls.

Dear KKIM Family,

I am simply a blessed man to have you as a friend! Yes you! Sharon and I pray for you everyday here at the CUP!

I was asked yesterday at the National Day of Prayer event at Cross of Hope Church by Doug Brown..what does the CUP signify?GOOD QUESTION DOUG! I got a kick out of that question because it brought back many good memories. When I started writing what is now the CUP…..almost 14 years ago, I just would send out an email to a few friends and it kept growing and growing and somehow people wanted it to take on a name. It was Rick Griffin of Albuquerque who came up with the name Dewey’s Daily CUP…..with the idea we all gather and have a CUP of Blessings, fellowship, coffee, tea, coke…….or whatever people drink…a time of fellowship and prayer. I look back on the last 14 years of doing the CUP and I am so thankful for all of you! It was then about almost 9 or 10 years ago when friends like Rick, Brenda Towle and Taunya Tourville funded the CUP’s first web site!! www.deweysdailycup.com Monica Crick was our first web master and now we have another angel of God Jannetta LaMort who has been by our side for years! Never forget who helps you along the way!

I have a lot of fun in what I do, a lot of laughs, a lot of tears……..crying is good! Tears of joy, and mourning, of AWE! Yesterday I cried plenty at the wonderful National Day of Prayer service at Cross of Hope! Sharon was able to be with me before she had to go to work. My thanks to Kay Hendrickson and Pastor Dale Bauer for having me once again this year! I love the entire congregation. The service was very moving. I was blessed to be one of the Speakers along with,Councilor Dan Lewis, State Senator Sander Rue, Cross of Hope School Principle Sharon Halstead and Captain Mattern who has just returned from Afghanistan.

There were the most National Day of Prayer events than ever yesterday in the United States of America! A new record! PRAISE GOD!

At Cross of Hope they have such a loving Pastor and Congregation. Sharon and I have worshiped there and just love it! What a blessing! Pastor Dale Bauer is retiring in June, he has been at Cross of Hope over 20 years! What a blessing he has been!Pastor Dale planted the seed of the school at Cross of Hope that is bearing so much fruit in our community! Pastor Dale also planted the seed of the prayer group at Cross that prays for Sharon and I and KKIM everyday!!! I said as he received recognition from State Senator Sander Rue and the New Mexico legislature, that I wanted to be like Pastor Dale when I grow up! And Kay Hendrickson quickly said, That she hoped Dewey would never grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL!

I still have a lot of kid in me!!! I thank the Lord for that! When I called 88 year old Pastor Bruno of Legacy Church yesterday to check in on him, before I could ask him how he is doing he asked me how I was doing and started to pray for me!!!! And here is the verse he said to me……..

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. AMEN! psalm 103 verse 5

Let’s start at verse 1……..

By the way Cross of Hope gave me a new Bible with my name engraved in it! PRAISE GOD!

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord executeth righteousness and judgement for all that are oppressed.

He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

Psalm 103 1-8

AMEN! Many have forgotten the benefits of the Lord………Healing of all diseases……redeeming our life from destruction, renewing us like eagle’s……….AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

It was so wonderful to picture in the mind yesterday of all the Prayer events around the United States of America!!!! On NM News and Views we had live reports from our nations Capitol Washington D.C. as Pastor Paul Holt was there giving us the historical perspective of the National Day of Prayer, we had reports from Albuquerque, Pastor Mark Tross reported in from Santa Fe where he spoke at the Roundhouse where Gov Martinez read the National Day of Prayer proclamation and we had a live report from Pastor Jim Montoya who attended the service in Belen. None of this of course was seen or heard on secular TV and Radio or even in the newspaper! This is how important Christian Radio stations like KKIM are! As I Preached yesterday we must be the Salt and Light! AMEN!

I was asked for KKIM’s mission statement during our 40th Birthday Celebration………….here it is…..

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid….Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. AMEN! Matt 5: 13-16

That is what I Preached on yesterday………that is not just the calling of KKIM, it’s the calling of all of us!

Kind words are like honey—–sweet to the soul and healthy for the body Proverbs 16:24

Got many folks coming up to me yesterday saying how KKIM is the Light of Jesus in their life………

One man came up to me and said, KKIM has helped me so much in my daily walk with Jesus……..

Pastor Bruno said yesterday…….I remember when KKIM signed on the air 40 years ago, I called them to thank them for bringing Christian programming to New Mexico.

Many, many compliments on the Radio Ministry of KKIM..For God’s Glory Alone! We need your support just like all of Christian media. Here in New Mexico we have such AWESOME Radio and TV Ministries, we all need your payers financial support at this time. if you have questions on how you can help KKIM please email me or call me at 505-681-0331. We have many ways you can help. $50.00 a month can go a long way in supporting KKIM.

Please pray on that.

HERE IS THE MOST POWERFUL PRAYER THAT I HAVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME!!!!

This is from Cross of Hope School Principle Sharon Halstead……….

Dear Pastor Moede,

Thank you very much for your blessing today…how very powerful and wonderful Christian love is! God is so good to us.

I have attached the prayer you requested.

Blessing to you, your family, and your ministry!
Sharon

Father…

As we look deeper into the hearts of our children, will we find poverty there? Is it possible that we do not nurture the gift of faith you gave them when they were born? Do we take them to church, temple or synagogue? Do we discuss faith and God and Holy Scriptures with our children? Will you help us return to you? Show us how to be faith-filled people!

Are our kids growing up too fast? Are we giving them rights of adulthood without training them first to be self-controlled, responsible, hard-working, empathetic, discerning and faithful people? We know that many of our kids are raising themselves, mentored only by their peers and the media because the adults in their lives are just too harried and busy to make quality time for them. Help us to make time to be parents and mentors. Help us to set boundaries by teaching our children to make the 10 Commandments the rules they live by as well as their code of honor. Teach us how to build and maintain relationships with our children in communities that honor children and hold them and each other accountable. Enable us to build strong foundations of love upon which everything is built. Help us to truly live out Deuteronomy 6:5-7 that says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. These commandments that I give today are to be on your HEARTS. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road…”

Teach us, Lord, to love our children unconditionally, just as they are, while at the same time maintaining parents and elders as authorities first, and friends second. Show us how to give daily affirmations to our children that reflect honesty, kindness, love, and respect instead of empty compliments.

Let us remember, God, that our children mimic us. Remind us that our little ones form their images of God…and learn compassion, mercy, and forgiveness…from what they see in us. Help us, Jesus, as the responsible adults, to hold the gates to your garden open a little longer so that our children can experience you in the very depths of their hearts. In this way, Father, may we move our Nation’s youth forward with grace and hope. This is my prayer…

Amen

WOW! PRAISE GOD for people like Sharon Halstead who guide our Children! AMEN!
You will want to print out that prayer!

Let us now hear from Ray of Mining The Truth weekdays on KKIM at 7:35am

What’s your name?
Throughout scripture God changed the names of many of its characters at different points in their lives. Sometimes it was at the moment of conversion like Saul of Tarsus becoming Paul. For others, it was when they reached a new level of intimacy and trust with God such as Abram becoming Abraham. What makes these stories enlightening is that their Hebrew names always had meanings. They were not like most names today, which have no meaning beyond a way to identify a specific person. For instance, Jacob meant schemer until his name was changed to Israel, which probably means one who rules with God.

What is fascinating is that many of the Biblical characters lived out the meaning of their names both before and after God changed them. When God changed their names, it was often prophetic. It’s as if they started to see themselves the way God saw them based on their new name. They finally found their identity in God and it totally changed the course of their lives.

One of the most life changing things we can do is to start to see and treat ourselves the way God sees us. You are holy and blameless in His sight. You are His possession. You are the joy that was set before Him that caused Christ to endure the brutal agony of the cross. You are seated with Christ in heaven. You are a joint heir with Christ. You are the temple where the Holy Spirit and Christ dwell. You are His masterpiece.

This is just a fraction of the things that scripture tells us that we are in Christ. In addition to that there is also a specific, intimate name that God has just for you. I think it has to do with your personality, gifting and the way that you respond to God’s love. This name is God’s way of identifying with you in your struggles that says He knows and understands you because He walks through the fire with you. The idea that God would feel such intimacy with me that He has a secret, intimate name just for me, puts a lump in my throat and a smile on my heart.
Revelation 2:17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.’

I believe it’s a name that He has been calling out to each one of us our whole lives. When we listen, accept it and start to live it out, we’ll get a glimpse of ourselves as He really sees us.
1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

Than you Ray! AWESOME!

Posted: 02 May 2012 11:01 PM PDT
Perhaps you don’t know about Stiltsville, the village, so strange but so true…
For each evening at six they meet in the circle for the purpose of sticks,
Tall stilts upon which a Stiltsvillian can strut and be lifted above the less and the least,
the Tribe of Too Smalls, the not cools who want to be tall—but can’t,
because in the giving of sticks, their name was not called. They didn’t get picked.
(from the children’s book, Tallest of the Smalls)
Ah, there it is! We fear nothingness, insignificance.
But if you pass your days mumbling, “I’ll never make a difference; I’m not worth anything,” guess what? You’re disagreeing with God.
Psalm 139:14 says, “You were fearfully and wonderfully made.” God’s idea. His masterpiece! God sees you and loves the you he sees!
Stiltsvillians still cluster; crowds still clamor, but more stay away. They seem less enamored since the Carpenter came and refused to be stilted!

Let’s Major in God
David just showed up this morning. He clocked out of sheep watching to deliver bread and cheese to his brothers on the battle-front. That’s where David hears Goliath defying God,. . . .
Read the first words he spoke, not just in the battle, but in the Bible: “David asked the men standing near him, ‘What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?’” (1 Sam. 17:26 niv).
David shows up discussing God. The soldiers mentioned nothing about him, the brothers never spoke his name, but David takes one step onto the stage and raises the subject of the living God. . . .
No one else discusses God. David discusses no one else but God. . . .
David sees what others don’t and refuses to see what others do. All eyes, except David’s, fall on the brutal, hate-breathing hulk. . . . The people know his taunts, demands, size, and strut. They have majored in Goliath.
David majors in God. He sees the giant, mind you; he just sees God more so. Look carefully at David’s battle cry: “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel” (1 Sam. 17:45).
— origiginally printed in Facing Your Giants
Lord God, train us to walk on your path. Teach us to see you in situations that are dangerous and difficult. Like David, when we are surrounded by overwhelming challenges may our thoughts and words turn first to you. Rather than discuss the problem, remind us to discuss you. May our first thought in the morning and our last thought at night be centered on you. Rather than worry about the impossibilities, let us major in your mighty power. When we am tempted to look at the giants in our lives, we will choose to look at you, amen.

Love Max and here’s Charles Stanley weekdays at 8:05 on KKIM!

Do Not Neglect Your Spiritual Gift
Read | 1 Timothy 4:12-16
Every Christian is given at least one spiritual gift with which to serve the Lord and build up the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:7). But many believers neglect this special empowerment of the Spirit. Although Timothy had some good reasons to forsake his calling from God, Paul advised him to “take pains with these things” and “be absorbed in them” (v. 15). As you look at Timothy, ask yourself if either of the following situations are hindering you from fully serving the Lord.
Age: No matter how old we are, the Lord wants us to use our spiritual gifts. Because Timothy was young, he could easily have been intimidated by those with more experience. However, youth isn’t our only excuse. Some believers think they’re too old to serve the Lord. Even though our areas of ministry may change over the years, we’re never called into spiritual retirement.
Inadequacy: Have you ever avoided a service opportunity simply because you felt totally unqualified? That’s probably how Timothy felt about leading the church at Ephesus. Our spiritual gifts rarely come to us fully developed. God often requires that we step out in faith and trust Him to work in and through us. Over time, as we obey and serve Him in our areas of giftedness, He increases the effectiveness of our ministry.
Is anything keeping you from using your spiritual gifts? Though given to us, these abilities aren’t for us; they’re for the church. To neglect them would not only deprive fellow believers but also rob ourselves: there is joy and blessing in serving others anddoing the work God has designated for us.

Praying the Promises of God
Read | Isaiah 40:8
Jesus made it clear that we would endure hardship in this life. But God gave His children amazing tools to keep trials from overwhelming us. For instance, He placed His Spirit inside each believer to guide and empower. In addition, He gave us prayer so we could not only communicate and stay connected with our Father but also bring Him our requests.
Today I want to focus on yet another one of His marvelous gifts: the Bible. Scripture is the actual Word of God Almighty. It is truth. It never changes. It enables us in all circumstances, so we have a sure foundation on which to base our lives and decisions.
There are thousands of promises in the Bible–countless assurances that we can rely on with perfect confidence. God wants us to learn them so we won’t miss out on blessings He wants to give. And wise believers will turn His promises into prayers and the cries of their hearts.
Let me give you an example that relates to difficult decisions. Psalms 32:8 states, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.” We can pray God’s words back to Him, saying that we believe He will teach us and reveal His path, while remaining by our side as our caregiver through the entire situation.
When hardships arise, we need a solid foundation on which to stand. Otherwise, our emotions could easily lead us astray through faulty thinking. God is faithful and unchanging, so we can trust in His promises, which enable us to rest confidently and act boldly.

May 4, 2012. You are doing the wise thing in getting your house in order. It needs to be swept clean of all the debris associated with the past. You have the future now and want to maximize the effectiveness of the blessings coming to you. In your efforts to bring all into order, consider My order. My order is precise, but also bathed with mercy and grace. My order makes room for love, gentleness and kindness to all concerned. My efficiency is the same. It is different than yours for the same reasons as concerning order. Therefore, bring your order and drive for more efficiency in line with Mine so I can bless you and those with you.

Psalm 5:3 (NASB) “In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.” Ras Robinson

May 4, 2012. When God led me to begin rereading my Chemistry 101 book about 3 years ago, one study led to another. Many people now send me science articles or tell me of science facts that line up with Scripture. Recently an educator told me that findings of late have shown that many older people have brain lesions. Those who think and respond to life positively, the lesions have little mental effect, but those who dwell on the negative things of life tend toward Alzheimer’s. “I have given instruction in Scripture to take thoughts captive and let your mind dwell on the blessing and good things of life. Precious one, obey My Word.”

2 Corinthians 10:5 (NASB) “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” Philippians 4:8 (NASB) “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” Bev Robinson

May 4, 2012. You have a particular mindset right now. You feel as though you can make something happen by your own will. With enough time and effort you believe you can drastically cause change to occur in most events and or elements which surround you. The truth is only I can alter the events and elements which surround you. There is a role you play, however I am the one who dictates what and where the outcome will be according to My will. I encourage you to acknowledge Me and get your mindset in line with Mine. You desire to be an instrument of change. Pray that My will be done.

Romans 8:28 (NASB) “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Kevin Robinson

llergy symptoms aren’t usually life-threatening, but seasonal allergies are nothing to sneeze at, either. More than 2/3 of people actually endure symptoms year-round, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). Popping pills is easy, but there are other tried-and-true (and often forgotten) methods of dealing with stubborn seasonal allergies. Avoidance is the best prescription, but that’s not always possible.

No place is safe from allergens — no matter where you go, there will be pollen, there will be mold, and there will be trees, grass, and flowers. But some cities are sneezier than others. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America named its 2012 Spring Allergy Capitals — rankings of the most miserable cities for spring allergy sufferers.

What makes a city an allergy capital? The group factored in three ingredients: each city’s seasonal pollen count, use of over-the-counter and prescription allergy medications, and number of board-certified allergists per patient. Pollen count refers to the number of grains of pollen in a cubic meter of air: the higher the number, the worse news for sufferers.

This year’s allergy capital is Knoxville, Tenn., which received the maximum score of 100 points. Knoxvillians and residents of other spring-allergy hotspots are likelier to experience severe allergy symptoms — runny nose, nasal and sinus congestion, sneezing, watery eyes, and even difficulty breathing — than those in unranked or lower-ranking cities. Before heading on a road trip this season, check out the Allergy Capitals list (http://www.aafa.org/display.cfm?id=9&sub=33), which includes the top 100 sneeziest cities along with some great allergy information that can help you. If you really suffer from allergies and will be traveling to a challenging area, work with your allergist ahead of time to devise a management plan. Caution: The Southeast is typically the worst place to be during spring allergy season, while the Northeast is worst come fall.

Here’s the Medical bag with Dr. Joe…………

10 Worst Cities for Spring Allergy Sufferers
City & Overall Score
Knoxville, Tenn. 100
McAllen, Tex. 96.71
Louisville, Ky. 93.31
Jackson, Miss. 92.85
Wichita, Kan. 91.36
Oklahoma City, Okla. 90.57
Chattanooga, Tenn. 89.63
Memphis, Tenn. 85.19
San Antonio, Tex. 84.41
Dayton, Ohio 82.15

Here are some great “natural” tools for beating allergies:

1. The Internet
Use your keyboard as a tool to combat itchy eyes and a scratchy throat. First, take the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology’s Relief Self-Test (http://www.acaai.org/allergist/tools/relief_test/Pages/default.aspx) to figure out the severity of your problem. You can also keep an eye on pollen counts by checking with the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (http://www.aaaai.org/home.aspx) every day (keep in mind, levels are usually highest during midday). If your Internet connection goes out, look to the sky and use this general rule of thumb: cloudy, windless days = less pollen. You can also shop online for that new vacuum cleaner, if you don’t already have one equipped with a HEPA filter, something essential for allergy sufferers.

2. That strangely shaped pot
“No way! I’m not putting that in my nose!” If you’ve ever found yourself grimacing at the thought of using a neti pot, you may want to reconsider. Filling the little pot with a saline solution and flushing it through your nostrils is an increasingly popular way of dealing with allergies naturally. Plus, research shows it’s just as effective as medicine, without all the side effects. And while it may look like you’re snorting liquid from a bullhorn, most doctors say it’s worth the initially awkward sensation. “Neti pots and sinus saline rinse are becoming a standard treatment for patients with allergies and sinus disease. No question they are well received by many allergists, ear, nose, and throat doctors, and others who treat allergies,” says Clifford Bassett, MD, a fellow of the ACAAI.

3. A massage
Relaxation unleashes a biological mechanism that prevents the brain from sending the “attack the allergens!” response that gets you sneezing and wheezing. Massage’s natural allergy relief properties lower blood pressure and heart rate while improving circulation, which will lower stress levels and help keep your allergies under control. Meditation, prayer, hanging out with friends, and writing down what you’re worried about can also dramatically lower your stress levels. For a natural allergy treatment try this simple exercise: Sit cross-legged on the floor with your head, neck, and trunk of your body straight. Rest your hands on your thighs and close your eyes. Focus on the bridge between your nostrils, and concentrate on each deep breath from your abdomen in and out for one to three minutes. Breathe in from the nose and exhale slowly out the mouth.

4. Your neighbor’s kid
Grass pollen is a common spring and summer allergen, so don’t torture yourself by mowing the grass. Instead, enlist a capable neighborhood kid for the task – he or she will appreciate a few extra bucks, and you can stay inside. If you’re really adventurous, and if your municipality allows it, get a goat or sheep to munch on your lawn.

5. A mask
If your neighborhood kid bails and you’re stuck doing outdoor chores that aggravate your pollen, grass, or mold allergies, wear a NIOSH 95 filter mask, suggests the ACAAI. You can find them online, in pharmacies, or in hardware stores. Your neighbors may think you’re overreacting to a flu outbreak, but so what. You’ll be able to breathe easy when you go back inside. As an added precaution, you should wear glasses or sunglasses when outside to keep pollen from invading your eyeballs. When you go inside, take a shower, wash your hair, and change your outfit to get rid of residue riding on your wardrobe.

Have a wonderfully blessed weekend and if you have “allergies” may they be gone in Jesus’ name!

Too Busy for a Friend…..

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.

Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.

It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.

On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. ‘Really?’ she heard whispered. ‘I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!’ and, ‘I didn’t know others liked me so much,’ were most of the comments.

No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn’t matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.

Several years later, one of the students was killed in
Iraq and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature.

The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.

As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. ‘Were you Mark’s math teacher?’ he asked. She nodded: ‘yes.’ Then he said: ‘Mark talked about you a lot.’

After the funeral, most of Mark’s former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark’s mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

‘We want to show you something,’ his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket ‘They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.’

Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark’s classmates had said about him.

‘Thank you so much for doing that,’ Mark’s mother said. ‘As you can see, Mark treasured it.’

All of Mark’s former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, ‘I still have my list. It’s in the top drawer of my desk at home.’

Chuck’s wife said, ‘Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album.’

‘I have mine too,’ Marilyn said. ‘It’s in my diary’

Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. ‘I carry this with me at all times,’ Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: ‘I think we all saved our lists’

That’s when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.

The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don’t know when that one day will be.

So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late.

When Delays Are A Blessing

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“And therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you.” Isaiah 30:18

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

Many times the Lord will deliberately delay that He may be gracious to us.

When Lazarus fell sick, his family sent for Jesus. Instead of coming immediately, Jesus waited (see John 11:1-46). He held back until Lazarus was dead. And if you read John 11:15, He said, “I’m glad”— because He had something greater in mind.

God waited four thousand years to send the Lord Jesus Christ after He made that promise. But Galatians 4:4 says He came in the fullness of time. Never late, never ahead of time, never in a hurry.

ACTION POINT:

Are you in a waiting game…praying days, weeks, months, even years, for something and God hasn’t answered? Be still and know that in the fullness of time, your request will be answered.

The Spiritual Fruit of Patience

Read | Romans 5:1-4
The list called “fruit of the Spirit” includes “patience” (Gal. 5:22-23), but that doesn’t mean the Holy Spirit wills it into the believer’s life. Instead, He acts as our ever-dependable teacher and the one who enables our growth. Spiritual fruit matures over time as we obey the Lord and surrender to His will.
Patience with both God and our fellow man is an outgrowth of deepening faith. The Holy Spirit urges believers to take note of the Lord’s handiwork on the journey through life. Our confidence in Him is nurtured by answered prayer, the rich blessings that arise unexpectedly from difficult circumstances, and every trace of good that God salvages from a bad situation. As our trust in His goodness and sovereignty grows, we find ourselves more willing to wait for God’s solutions and outcomes.
In fact, I believe that recognizing God’s sovereignty is key to developing patience. A significant part of surrendering to His absolute control is waiting upon Him to do what He will. We are wise to realize that our lives unfold according to His master plan–exasperated toe tapping doesn’t bother Him a bit. God expects His children to step into His timeline and practice patience no matter what pace He sets.
Patience doesn’t come naturally. That’s why we have the Holy Spirit. He strengthens our resolve to endure without complaint when progress seems sluggish. After all, God is slow only from a human standpoint. From a divine, eternal perspective, He’s always working at the perfect speed.

Plants use colors as their protective mechanisms. Those colors are the sources of the phytonutrients which act like medicine in our bodies. We use their defense mechanisms to help our bodies function better – these are the anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, anti-oxidant and hormone-balancing compounds that we should eat every day to prevent disease and create optimal health that gives you the power to be well.

The vast array of colors in vegetables represents over 25,000 chemicals that are beneficial. There is evidence that interaction between the colors provides additional benefits, so it’s important to have a diverse diet and eat different foods.

Each color represents a different family of healing compounds. Though we have selectively bred the colors we eat into very narrow ranges in nature vegetables comes in a painter’s palate of color. There are red carrots in India, we eat orange ones. There are 150 varieties of sweet peas, but only a few are available to us. We need to make an extra effort to eat as many different foods as we can to get the full range of benefits.

Here are a few tips to put healing medicines in your diet without swallowing a pill…so eat your medicine every day.

Remember eat the rainbow!

Red Group
Tomatoes, pink grapefruit, watermelon

These contain the carotenoid lycopene, which helps rid the body of free radicals that damage genes. Lycopene seems to protect against prostate cancer as well as heart and lung disease. Processed juices contain a lot of the beneficial ingredients. One glass of tomato juice gives you 50 percent of the recommended lycopene.

Yellow/Green Group
Spinach greens, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, yellow corn, green peas, avocado, honeydew melon

These are sources of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. These are believed to reduce the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Lutein is a yellow-green substance that concentrates in the back of your eye. It may also reduce atherosclerosis.

Orange Group
Carrots, mangos, apricots, cantaloupes, pumpkin, acorn squash, winter squash, sweet potatoes

These contain alpha carotene, which protects against cancer. They also contain beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. It protects the skin against free-radical damage and helps repair damaged DNA. Beta-carotene is also good for night vision. It’s important to note that these beneficial nutrients can be received from other foods, too. For instance, vitamins found in dairy products and meat. But it’s not as beneficial because you get high calories and fat along with it.

Orange/Yellow Group
Pineapple, orange juice, oranges, tangerines, peaches, papayas, nectarines

These contain beta cryptothanxin, which helps cells in the body communicate and may help prevent heart disease. In addition, a single orange contains 170% of the recommended daily vitamin C. It’s interesting to note that the skin of an orange is high in a protective fat that has been found to kill cancer cells in humans and animals, which highlights the fact that two-thirds of all drugs come from the plant world.

Red/Purple Group
Beets, eggplant, purple grapes, red wine, grape juice, prunes, cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, red apples

These are loaded with powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins believed to protect against heart disease by preventing blood clots. They may also delay the aging of cells in the body. There is some evidence they may help delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

Green Group
Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, Chinese cabbage or bok choi, kale

These contain the chemicals sulforaphane and isocyanate and they also contain indoles, all of which help ward off cancer by inhibiting carcinogens. It’s a fact that 10% of the population – like George Bush Sr. – doesn’t like broccoli. But it’s important in diets because of the beneficial chemicals it contains.

White/Green Group
Leeks, scallions, garlic, onions, celery, pears, white wine, endive, chives

The onion family contains allicin, which has anti-tumor properties. Other foods in this group contain antioxidant flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol.

Assess yourself: How many fruits and vegetables do you eat a day? How many colors do you eat? How many different kinds of vegetables do you eat a day or week? You might realize you only eat a few common ones over and over – branch out and eat all the colors and varieties.
