Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

May you surrender to God this day…….total surrender…please…….that is my prayer for all.

This Scripture was given to me by my Dear friend Anita Price at the lowest point in my life………

I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—-whether well-fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me. Still, you did well by sharing with me in my hardship. Philippians 4:11-14

Thank you so much Anita and Craig Price for what you have meant to me over the years……….Please pray for the healing of the land in the Sidney, Montana area as the body of murdered Sidney School teacher Sherry Arnold has been found. This of course has shook this community beyond belief. Your prayers are needed.

This Scripture that Anita shared with me years ago fits the CUP so well this day………

I will add this about Anita and Craig, they adopted me as a Young Radio Announcer from Minnesota who took his first job in Sidney, Montana at KGCX! Craig was the very first Coach I interviewed as a Sports Announcer back in 1979. They helped me with a Godly foundation in my life..they showed me what Godly mentorship is all about!

Would you pray with me that I go to Sidney sometime in the near future to share God’s Word with this Community that gave so much to this young Radio Announcer…I am called to give back to these wonderful folks!

Yahooooo Dewey:

God answers prayers. You probably heard my phone message yesterday, but Brother Daryl has a job! He starts training today at a convenience store and will begin working on his own this weekend. I know we will all be praying. He is very, very excited and sounds like a little kid. Haven’t ever heard him like that before.

Left a message for Pastor Steve. He had his assistant call me and assured me he would be in touch with you.

Nice speaking with you yesterday. Blessings,

Paul

PRAISE GOD for the news on my brother Daryl and PRAISE GOD for Brother Paul and Sister Rene Dokken they have been such a Godly light to Daryl during the last several months! Paul and Rene have been Godly mentor’s!

I am in mourning this day because a person I was attempting to mentor went backwards. I am tired this morning as I feel bad that I failed. I feel like a Doctor who just lost a patient. It’s been over a year now since I have been working with my friend. He get’s real close to what God has for him and he get’s scared and retreats. It was a year ago this month I was going to baptize him and I traveled a long distance, he suddenly got sick and didn’t come. This man has many God given talents and he get’s so close to the LIGHT, then he goes for cover. Let me go back to Paul and Rene’s mentorship of Daryl. Paul has had some tough words for Daryl in the past along with words of great love. People are not always benefited by the words they want to hear……..but the words they need to hear! Sometimes those words given in love are not received. In this case yesterday it was not any words that were given it was the light that was shining brighter than ever in his walk and the works of Jesus Christ in the life of my friend and for some reason he retreated to his old ways. It’s been 20 years since Brother Daryl has had a job……..In those years I have never given up on Daryl, even thou he would get so mad at me, say mean things to me, I will not give up on my friend, my prayer is that my friend will return to the FULL LIGHT of Jesus Christ, with renewed strength and never retreat again from the goodness, the fullness of life in JESUS CHRIST!

I don’t give up on anybody…God did not and has not given up on me and you!

My friend, just like my brother Daryl has been hurt by people, been rejected by people….even family members, incredible hurt that I have never felt…….This hurt still exists in my friend and my brother Daryl to this day……..This writing by Darlene is so timely….Thank you Darlene……..

Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted withgrief…
This incredible passage written hundreds of years before Jesus Christ tells in vivid detail the path our Savior would walk. Jesus could have absolutely avoided pain. He could have looked away from our sin and left us to fend for ourselves. He could have distanced himself from the suffering of our world. However, instead of keeping grief at arm’s length Jesus opened himself up to it, entering into it. Instead of leaving us alone in our sins Jesus became like us in order to redeem us. For many of us who know real pain, Jesus is a close acquaintance, present and full of compassion!
He is here in our pain, He sees, He knows, He feels, He grieves!
AND
He loves, He hopes, He prays, He comforts, He guides!
As only one who has walked a similar road can do, Jesus longs to take us by his side and lead us through. Whenever we question this journey, struggle with our lot, and when there are no answers…He is there! Whenever we can’t look on our circumstances any more… seeing the man of sorrows, here with us, the one acquainted with grief is the only vision that can bring hope. Hallelujah, what a Savior is true, may it echo in our souls today! How has Christ met you in your pain?
Darlene Quiring

What a timely message Darlene, only our LORD would know that those words were needed this day……

And then this from Pastor Leonard ties so Godly into our message today……….

When we are wit’s end: CRY OUT TO GOD!!!!

Many times we are faced with obstacles in our physical body (sickness) or attacked by spiritual forces as we strive to live a victorious life. Ephesians 6:10 tells us that we battle not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces. When we are faced with these attacks, God’s Word tells us what to do. Jeremiah 33:3 states, “call to me (cry out) and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know”. When we have specific needs in our spiritual walk, God, in His infinite compassion, is willing to help us to meet and overcome these needs. And many times, He often goes far beyond our request to do more than we can ask and imagine.
By “crying out”to God and asking Him to overcome the evil one and his power, we seek and find the victory that only HE can provide. David says in Psalm 56:9, “when I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back: this I know, because God is for me”. Even the archangel Michael used his voice to “cry out” to God for God’s help when contending against Satan for the body of Moses (Jude 9).
“Crying out” to God when we face obstacles, trials, disease, sickness, or barriers to our spiritual growth is encouraged and exampled in God’s Word.
Here are a few examples:

1). For strength in my spiritual walk – Psalm 138:3, David states, “in the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.”

2). For wisdom in my decisions – Proverbs 2:3, “cry out for discernment, and lift up you voice for understanding”. God desires to guide, direct and show us the correct path, when we “cry out” to Him.

3). Remember when Elijah was called to go to Zarephath and lodge with a widow and her son. Well, the son stopped breathing. The prophet took the boy’s body and carried him upstairs and laid him on his own bed. Here the prophet did the only thing he knew to do. Listen to God’s Word as to what Elijah did. “then he cried out to the Lord and said, ‘O Lord my God, have you brought tragedy on the widow with whom I lodge, by killing her son?’ and he stretched himself out on the child three times, and cried out to the Lord and said, ‘O Lord my God, I pray, let this child’s soul come back to him”. Do you know what happened? God responded immediately. “Then the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back to him, and he revived.”. I Kings 17:17-24
So, my friends, if you find yourself facing obstacles, barriers, sickness or an opposing spirit, remember the words from the Bible, “cry out” to God for protection, deliverance and healing. We can never face a darkness so deep that we cannot cry out to God. Remember Psalm 50:15, “call upon Me in the day of trouble”. No matter what the dark situation, cry out to God! WHY? Let us read the rest of that verse. God tells us, “I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me”. The crying out and the answers are to bring glory, honor and praise to HIM!

Sola Deo Gloria!
For God’s Glory Alone!!!

Pastor Leonard Navarre

Thank you so much Pastor Leonard!

Day 34 of our 40 Day Journey…………

Psalm 22:1 Old testament Prophecy

My God, my God, why have you turned your back on me?

Your ears are deaf to my groans.

Fulfilled in Jesus Matthew 27:46

In the middle of the dark afternoon, Jesus cried out in a loud voice.

Jesus: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani——My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?

The most horrible existence in this world is a life separated from God. Yet, as King David lamented about himself and his descendant the Messiah, God’s own Son was separated from Him while He hung on the cross so we wouldn’t be………………

Let us be in prayer………………..

As we continue the CUP this day we have Anita Price my dear friend from Sidney Montana who shares with us this day as well as Birthday boy Dr. Joe, who just turned 29 and also Pastor Bill Ruhl…….

“In God We Trust”
Daniel’s Gloves

I sat, with two friends, in the picture window of a quaint restaurant just off the corner of the town-square. The food and the company were both especially good that day.

As we talked, my attention was drawn outside, across the street. There, walking into town, was a man who appeared to be carrying all his worldly goods on his back. He was carrying, a well-worn sign that read, ‘I will work for food.’ My heart sank.

I brought him to the attention of my friends and noticed that others around us had stopped eating to focus on him. Heads moved in a mixture of sadness and disbelief.

We continued with our meal, but his image lingered in my mind. We finished our meal and went our separate ways. I had errands to do and quickly set out to accomplish them. I glanced toward the town square, looking somewhat halfheartedly for the strange visitor. I was fearful, knowing that seeing him again would call some response. I drove through town and saw nothing of him. I made some purchases at a store and got back in my car.

Deep within me, the Spirit of God kept speaking to me: ‘Don’t go back to the office until you’ve at least driven once more around the square.’

Then with some hesitancy, I headed back into town. As I turned the square’s third corner, I saw him. He was standing on the steps of the church, going through his sack.

I stopped and looked; feeling both compelled to speak to him, yet wanting to drive on. The empty parking space on the corner seemed to be a sign from God: an invitation to park. I pulled in, got out and approached the town’s newest visitor.

‘Looking for the pastor?’ I asked.

‘Not really,’ he replied, ‘just resting.’

‘Have you eaten today?’

‘Oh, I ate something early this morning.’

‘Would you like to have lunch with me?’

‘Do you have some work I could do for you?’
‘No work,’ I replied ‘I commute here to work from the city, but I would like to take you to lunch.’

‘Sure,’ he replied with a smile.

As he began to gather his things, I asked some surface questions. Where you headed?’
St. Louis ‘

‘Where you from?’

‘Oh, all over; mostly Florida ..’

‘How long you been walking?’

‘Fourteen years,’ came the reply.

I knew I had met someone unusual. We sat across from each other in the same restaurant I had left earlier. His face was weathered slightly beyond his 38 years. His eyes were dark yet clear, and he spoke with an eloquence and articulation that was startling He removed his jacket to reveal a bright red T-shirt that said, ‘Jesus is The Never Ending Story.’

Then Daniel’s story began to unfold. He had seen rough times early in life. He’d made some wrong choices and reaped the consequences.. Fourteen years earlier, while backpacking across the country, he had stopped on the beach in Daytona… He tried to hire on with some men who were putting up a large tent and some equipment. A concert, he thought.

He was hired, but the tent would not house a concert but revival services, and in those services he saw life more clearly. He gave his life over to God

‘Nothing’s been the same since,’ he said, ‘I felt the Lord telling me to keep walking, and so I did, some 14 years now.’

‘Ever think of stopping?’ I asked.

‘Oh, once in a while, when it seems to get the best of me But God has given me this calling. I give out Bibles That’s what’s in my sack. I work to buy food and Bibles, and I give them out when His Spirit leads.’

I sat amazed. My homeless friend was not homeless. He was on a mission and lived this way by choice. The question burned inside for a moment and then I asked: ‘What’s it like?’

‘What?’

‘To walk into a town carrying all your things on your back and to show your sign?’

‘Oh, it was humiliating at first. People would stare and make comments. Once someone tossed a piece of half-eaten bread and made a gesture that certainly didn’t make me feel welcome. But then it became humbling to realize that God was using me to touch lives and change people’s concepts of other folks like me.’

My concept was changing, too. We finished our dessert and gathered his things. Just outside the door, he paused He turned to me and said, ‘Come Ye blessed of my Father and inherit the kingdom I’ve prepared for you. For when I was hungry you gave me food, when I was thirsty you gave me drink, a stranger and you took me in.’

I felt as if we were on holy ground. ‘Could you use another Bible?’ I asked.

He said he preferred a certain translation. It traveled well and was not too heavy. It was also his personal favorite… ‘I’ve read through it 14 times,’ he said.

‘I’m not sure we’ve got one of those, but let’s stop by our church and see’ I was able to find my new friend a Bible that would do well, and he seemed very grateful.

‘Where are you headed from here?’ I asked.

‘Well, I found this little map on the back of this amusement park coupon.’

‘Are you hoping to hire on there for a while?’
‘No, I just figure I should go there. I figure someone under that star right there needs a Bible, so that’s where I’m going next.’

He smiled, and the warmth of his spirit radiated the sincerity of his mission. I drove him back to the town-square where we’d met two hours earlier, and as we drove, it started raining. We parked and unloaded his things.

‘Would you sign my autograph book?’ he asked… ‘I like to keep messages from folks I meet.’

I wrote in his little book that his commitment to his calling had touched my life. I encouraged him to stay strong. And I left him with a verse of scripture from Jeremiah, ‘I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you; Plans to give you a future and a hope.’

‘Thanks, man,’ he said. ‘I know we just met and we’re really just strangers, but I love you.’

‘I know,’ I said, ‘I love you, too.’ ‘The Lord is good!’

‘Yes, He is. How long has it been since someone hugged you?’ I asked.

A long time,’ he replied

And so on the busy street corner in the drizzling rain, my new friend and I embraced, and I felt deep inside that I had been changed.. He put his things on his back, smiled his winning smile and said, ‘See you in the New Jerusalem.’

‘I’ll be there!’ was my reply.

He began his journey again. He headed away with his sign dangling from his bedroll and pack of Bibles. He stopped, turned and said, ‘When you see something that makes you think of me, will you pray for me?’

‘You bet,’ I shouted back, ‘God bless.’

‘God bless.’ And that was the last I saw of him.

Late that evening as I left my office, the wind blew strong. The cold front had settled hard upon the town. I bundled up and hurried to my car. As I sat back and reached for the emergency brake, I saw them… a pair of well-worn brown work gloves neatly laid over the length of the handle. I picked them up and thought of my friend and wondered if his hands would stay warm that night without them.

Then I remembered his words: ‘If you see something that makes you think of me, will you pray for me?’

Today his gloves lie on my desk in my office.. They help me to see the world and its people in a new way, and they help me remember those two hours with my unique friend and to pray for his ministry. ‘See you in the New Jerusalem,’ he said. Yes, Daniel, I know I will…

‘I shall pass this way but once. Therefore, any good that I can do or any kindness that I can show, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again.’

My instructions were to send this to four people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. Please pass this to four people you want to be blessed.

This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached. Please do not break this pattern. Prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let’s continue to pray for one another. God bless and have a nice day!

‘Father, I ask you to bless my friends, relatives and e-mail buddies reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask you to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace, In Jesus’ precious Name Amen.’

I sent this to more than four, but this story is so touching I felt each of you would enjoy it greatly.

GOD BLESS YOU, MY FRIEND… AND YOUR FAMILY
— GOD BLESS YOU!
Thank you Anita! We love you!

March 23, 2012. Rise up today to the full stature I have given you. Think of it as if you had a football that needed more air inside in order to properly perform. You insert the needle from an air pump and fill the football to peak performance. At peak performance, the football can be kicked greater distances and heights. Everyone leaks to some extent. Most leak daily. Last weekend we drove over two hours to gain our destination where we would share about repentance and experiencing the Kingdom of God. We prayed in tongues that whole trip. And when we stood before the people to share, they and we could tell that we had been raised up for that occasion. That is why God was able to impact so many lives. Rise up today.

March 23, 2012. Something you have never seen has entered your mind. It seems plausible enough and fits in with something else which seems good. But as of now you don’t know if this is of Me. You are also thinking what do I need to do to find out? The best thing is to pray for My perfect will. Bind all barriers to this being accomplished. Pray for the right time for this to occur. Eventually My plans will be accomplished but you can hasten the day by praying and believing. This is the power you have. When you give your will and timing all to Me, I accomplish great things through you.

March 23, 2012. Call off the dogs. Stop hounding yourself into the ground. You can at times be your own worst critic. Being constructively critical is one thing, but you have become merciless towards yourself. Do you realize you have been exonerated from your past, present and future sins? I wiped your slate clean by the shedding of My blood. You are not guilty as charged by the enemy or yourself. You have been acquitted of your seemingly unpardonable sins. Your sins have been forgiven. I have forgiven you. Can you forgive yourself? Hound dogs follow a distinctive scent. Your scent is fresh and new. Don’t put on old garments of lies and deception.

2 Corinthians 5:16-17 (NASB) “Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold new things have come.” Kevin Robinson

Yesterday’s Medical Bag article had me addressing “Milk drinking”. But, in it I’d made the comment, “Please NEVER use soy milk for anything.” Now I’d like to address why I made that statement about “soy”. This is one of those “foods” that I really don’t give you a choice as to whether or not you should or should not drink it. Just like tobacco, I have nothing good to say about soy. Please take a moment to read the following article; I did not write it. I’ve had this article in my files for quite some time and I share it with those who ask me about “soy”. It’s time to share this with you…

The Dangers of Soy Are Real – and Much Worse Than You Might Think

The dangers of soy are thoroughly documented in the scientific literature, which makes it hard to believe that many health and fitness communities and counselors, and most health food stores, still promote soy products as ultra-healthy foods.

Hopefully this harmful misrepresentation of soy foods will begin to change as the dangers of soy become better known.

A Summary of the Dangers of Soy

• Soybeans and soy products contain high levels of phytic acid, which inhibits assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc.

• Soaking, sprouting, and long, slow cooking do not neutralize phytic acid.

• Diets high in phytic acid have been shown to cause growth problems in children.

• Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic disorders.

• Test animals showed stunted growth when fed trypsin inhibitors from soy.

• The plant estrogens found in soy, called phytoestrogens, disrupt endocrine function, that is, the proper functioning of the glands that produce hormones, and have the potential to cause infertility as well as to promote breast cancer in adult women.

• Hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer may be caused by soy phytoestrogens.

• Infant soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease.

• Soy has been found to increase the body’s need for vitamin B12 and vitamin D.

• Fragile soy proteins are exposed to high temperatures during processing in order to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein, making them unsuitable for human digestion.

• This same process results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines. (Doesn’t sound like anything anyone would want to eat, does it?)

• MSG, (also called free glutamic acid), a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing. Many soy products have extra MSG added as well.

• Soy foods contain elevated levels of toxic aluminum, which negatively affects the nervous system the kidneys and has been implicated in the onset of Alzheimer’s.

If this list of the dangers of soy isn’t enough to make you run out the door of your local health food store, please keep reading. It does get worse.

Feeding Babies Infant Soy Formula Is Like Giving Them Birth Control Pills

• It’s been found that babies given infant soy formulas have 13,000 to 22,000 times more estrogen than babies fed milk-based formulas.

• Babies fed exclusively on infant soy formula are receiving the estrogenic equivalent (based on body weight) of at least four or five birth control pills per day! You read that right. Four or five birth control pills per day! Here’s the reference so you can check this out for yourself. [Irvine, C. et al., “The Potential Adverse Effects of Soybean Phytoestrogens in Infant Feeding”, New Zealand Medical Journal May 24, 1995, p. 318.] By contrast, dairy-based infant formula contains almost no phytoestrogens, nor does human milk, even when the mother eats soy products. (Sally Fallon & Mary G. Enig, Ph.D.)

• There has been an increase of delayed physical maturation among boys, including lack of development of sexual organs.

• Conversely, many girls today show signs of puberty, such as breast development and pubic hair, before the age of eight, and some even before the age of three.

• Both of these abnormal conditions have been linked to the use of soy formulas as well as to exposure to “environmental estrogens” such as PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and DDE (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) a breakdown product of DDT.

Would you want to knowingly expose your tiny infant to the dangers of soy formula?

But Don’t Oriental Cultures Eat Lots of Soy?

It seems that historically, Oriental cultures consumed mostly traditionally fermented soy products such as miso, tempeh, natto, shoyu and tamari. (Tofu is not fermented, and falls into the dangerous soy foods category.) They consumed these soy foods in small amounts, as a condiment.

• Soy foods account for only 1.5 percent of calories in the Chinese diet, researchers found. (1977 Chang KC)

• The actual soybean consumed today is not the same one used by traditional Oriental cultures.

So, there you have it my friend. Please, take a critical moment to always read your labels on the foods you purchase. You are going to be very surprised by how many times you see “soy” in the ingredients. Look for brands that do not have soy in it, and if you can’t find any that don’t, then please consider going without that particular food item(s)…it’s just not worth it in the long run.

Thank you Birthday Boy!!!!

Let’s hear from Pastor Bill!

Financial Advice You Need to Know:
“Over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house we go…”. That childhood song jumped up in my spirit today, so I asked the Lord what does that have to do with financial advice. His response: “Stewardship; managing what I’ve provided and establishing a lifestyle of preparation!” What was it about my grandmother’s house that would be worthwhile to share? The aroma, the doilies, bowls of candy? No, it was her pantry and what that represents to us today. My grandmother’s pantry was not a large cupboard, but more like a walk in closet with shelves from floor to ceiling, neatly stocked with every imaginable food, toiletry, cleaning product, batteries, kerosene (or lamp oil). You name it, it was there. As you used something, the products were rotated forward and that item was added to her grocery list to be purchased and restocked in the future. Grandma wasn’t worried about some impending disaster, although she was amply prepared if something tragic or unforeseen should occur, she had just been taught to have whatever might be needed on hand so that she wouldn’t be caught short and she only went “shopping” once a month. They had one car (she hadn’t even learned to drive), my grandfather worked in Akron, Ohio which was quite a drive from Hudson, therefore, they always had a garden at the back of their property and a well stocked pantry (not just a week’s worth, but several months supply).
We can learn something from this concept that will help our financial bottom line. Price of gas got you watching your driving habits? Well, make a shopping list and start building a pantry in your home. Watch the grocery ads for sales (My grandmother only shopped on the day the paper indicated the most items on her list would be on sale. Kind of a pre-couponing concept) and plan your day to travel to as many destinations at one time as possible. Get gas, haircut, dry cleaners, drug store, grocery, any scheduled appointments, stop by to see family or friends, and then back home. It was an outing, not just a quick run here, back home, and out again as we have become so accustomed to doing. Consolidating your trips will save hundreds of dollars a year in just gasoline alone, not to mention reducing the number of miles you drive which will reduce maintenance costs, tire replacement and the list goes on. List buying and specific days, which gets you the best prices and keeps you from compulsive (binge) buying of items you don’t NEED, has long been proven as an effective means for keeping expenditures under control. Plus, with a well stocked pantry you always have what you need within reach and you will have peace of mind should something unexpected occur. Statistics indicate that in most cities store shelf supplies and warehouse inventories are depleted in as few as two days in the wake of a disaster.
So, fill your house with the smell of lavender, put out some fresh cut flowers, break out the iron skillet, pull up the rocking chair and reminisce…the pantry’s full. What could be better? Oh yes, Grandma’s cooking! Thanks Nana!

Isaiah 53:12 Old Testament Prophecy

Because he exposed his very self——

laid bare his soul to the vicious grasping of death—–

And was counted among the worst, I will count him among the

best.

Fulfilled in Jesus Mark 15: 27-28

On either side of Him were two insurgents who also had recived the death penalty. And the Hebrew

Scriptures was completed that said, "He was considered just another criminal."

Let us pray over this…………..

TURN YOUR SPEAKERS UP TO HEAR PAUL HARVEY!!! Frank Haley wants to share this with you! This is AMAZING!!!

Subject: 47 Years Ago…Amazing Prediction…Paul Harvey

Do you remember the famous ABC radio news commentator Paul Harvey?
Millions of Americans listened to his programs which were broadcast over
1,200 radio stations nationwide.

The following commentary was broadcast 47 years ago…. April 3, 1965.
I hope you will listen to this. It's short…less than 3 minutes.

Notice especially what he said in only 7 seconds, from 1:57 to 2:04 in the
broadcast.

.

Let's hear from Brother Ray now!

Our Grace compass.
Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
When Paul penned those words in Colossians 2:6, he set the true north heading on our grace compass for each one of us in our earthly sojourns.
Never again would any follower of Jesus need to follow the false headings of guilt, shame or fear, which leads to the dead end of spiritual failure. Grace is how we know we are headed in the right direction because it always points to Jesus.
Scuba divers have to trust their instruments in low visibility water. Going up or down too fast or heading in the wrong direction can be deadly underwater. This is why all divers carry a depth gauge and a compass as part of their instrument panel. If you don’t learn to rely on your instruments in low visibility water, you will think up is down and down is up and you have no idea where north, south, east or west is. Something strange happens to our sense of direction when we can’t visually orient to where we are and our senses will actually start to lie to us about where we are headed. Left alone to our senses in low visibility water we will die.
This is a perfect analogy to our life as followers of Jesus. We are in a foreign environment and we only survive by relying on heavenly air to sustain us. Satan comes along and stirs up the waters in our life and makes it so murky we can’t tell up from down and down from up or where we are headed. We have to stare more than ever at our grace compass in order to survive the moment and get oriented back to our true heading of Jesus.
When the waters of life are so stirred up that we can’t see and we start to follow our emotions instead of Jesus we will start following the false headings that satan inspires. We will start to function by guilt, shame, fear and anger and our whole life will start to head in the wrong direction. Satan wants to get us off our Jesus heading and with the strong currents of life, drag us out to a sea of hopelessness.
One of the favorite emotions that satan inspires when life gets cloudy is fear. He whispers in our ear that our compass is broken and we can’t trust it. We now have a choice, either we can trust our grace compass and head toward Jesus or we can succumb to the false heading of fear. Lets go back to our owner’s manual and see what It has to say about this false heading and how reliable our compass is for pointing us back to the love of Jesus when it feels like God is punishing us with our circumstances.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
In other words, God occasionally disciplines to correct a false heading but He never punishes a follower of Jesus. All punishment for sin was poured out on Jesus and we can trust there is none left for us to bear. Love is now the experience of anyone who has learned to rely on their grace compass to lead them to Jesus.

God Bless you Ray!!!

March 22, 2012. You long for the Father's love. Only His healing can console and nourish your soul to the exciting life again. Living in the pit of disappointment is debilitating. That same pit can get filled up with bitterness and regrets. But God the Father has this renewed life for you. Your enemy the devil has come to steal, kill and destroy. But God the Father has sent Jesus to give you an overflowing life in the Spirit for happiness, joy and success. The Father is pouring out his "Breakthrough Spirit of Worship and Prophecy" upon You. It will fit you like a custom made tuxedo or evening dress. Can you receive the Father's love? Will you agree to share it with others? God wants us to change the world, to be experiencing His Kingdom.

John 10:8-10 (NASB) "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." Ras Robinson

March 22, 2012. I know you had something happen which was a little scary and disconcerting. But now I see you doing well. One of the reasons is you gave the problem to Me almost immediately. You did the right thing by telling Me about it, but you did a better thing by rolling the problem over on Me. You are not designed to carry anxiety riddled heavy loads. Heavy loads of anxiety eventually break down your systems. Anxiety comes your way just because you are a human being and live on the earth. But as soon as you have anxiety put it all on Me. My child I love and care for you.

Matthew 11:28-30 (NASB) " Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, andYOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Bev Robinson

March 22, 2012. The flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing. Get beyond yourself today and be proactive. Give up your so called excuses and get off the bench to be a doer of My word. Talk is cheap. The Pharisee's became well acquainted with oral law. They embraced tradition and they embraced the spirit of self-sufficiency and pride. The Sadducee's on the other hand were more conservative and were bound by the observance of written law. They were antagonistic and religious at the same time. Both groups lead a path of destruction. Will you embrace humility and see My bigger picture. I resist the proud but give grace to the humble ones.

James 1:22 (AMP) "But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth]." Kevin Robinson

Now let's get this AWESOME Medical bag from Dr. Joe!!!!

Does MILK Really do a Body “Good”?
From the time I was a toddler and up until 1981, milk was the “beverage” of my choice – I was a “milkoholic”. But, since ’81, I have not consumed an eight ounce – or more – of a glass of milk. That’s 31 years of no milk drinking. A few years ago I did drink some 1% homogenized, pasteurized milk and within minutes I was congested. Sometime later that year, during Christmas time, I drank some Egg Nog. I truly love its flavor, but within minutes I was congested with a “stopped up nose” just like with any kind of milk. It’s not worth it for me to feel that way after drinking any kind of milk. Am I allergic to milk? No, I am not. Am I lactose intolerant? No, I am not. Rather I have made the choice to not drink milk because for me, I don’t see the benefit(s).

During my years in chiropractic college, I was challenged to take an in depth look at milk. I was so blown away by the contrary evidence that my wife and I made it a point to never purchase a carton of milk again. Our four children were raised without drinking milk. Today, as grown adults, they don’t drink milk and are very, very healthy.

So what’s going on here with my personal stance on drinking milk? Let’s take a quick look at some things to see if drinking milk really does a body good as “they” say.

Whenever I treat the total person for whatever ails them, I always include a long hard look at their diet, nutrition, and any possible food allergies. There are eight major food allergies that account for an estimated 90% of all allergic reactions. These eight foods are:
· Milk (drinking it or using it in any recipes)
· Eggs
· Peanuts
· Tree nuts (such as almonds, cashews, walnuts)
· Fish (such as bass, cod, flounder)
· Shellfish (such as crab, lobster, shrimp)
· Soy
· Wheat

Anyone, without exception, suffering from any kind of a health problem needs to eliminate all eight of those for at least six weeks. Then introduce one of them back into their diet to see what happens to their health. A week later, introduce another one of them back into their diet, and so on. This is called the “elimination diet” and it works wonders.

The health topic of milk is a very controversial one especially in the natural health care arena. There are three major camps; pro-milk, anti-milk, and of course there are those who just don’t care either way, so their stance won’t count for the purpose of this article.

Let’s take a real brief look because there’s a TON of information out there regarding the pro’s and anti’s:

PRO-MILK
This is from the National Dairy Council’s web site (www.NationalDairyCouncil.org), “Beyond just making your bones stronger, three daily servings of low-fat or fat-free, nutrient-rich dairy foods can help improve overall nutrient intake and reduce the risk of various chronic diseases. Research has long shown that dairy’s nutrients are vital to the development of strong bones and reduce the risk for developing rickets and osteoporosis. In fact, the U.S. Surgeon General’s Report on Bone Health and Osteoporosis (2004) recognizes the role of nutrients in dairy foods that work together to help protect bones.” It goes on to state, “Numerous studies published within the past year or so add to the accumulating body of evidence suggesting that dairy products may help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and hypertension, achieve and maintain a healthy body weight, and have a beneficial role in cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome (also called insulin resistance syndrome).” This site has a wealth of pro-milk information for those who choose to camp out there.

You can also visit another pro-milk organization: http://www.nmpf.org/ which is The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF). They are a farm commodity organization representing most of the dairy marketing cooperatives serving the USA. NMPF members market the majority of the milk produced in the U.S., making the NMPF the principal voice on national issues for dairy cooperatives and their dairy farmer members.

Milk lovers will tell you that they love its taste and that it’s a great source of protein, containing casein and whey. These are two top notch proteins (whey being #1 overall). Drinking milk provides your body with vast amounts of amino acids which are the building blocks of protein that your muscles need to use to grow and repair. Milk is rich in calcium, vitamins A and D, and contains minerals.

Pro vs. Con

Here’s a very interesting site: http://milk.procon.org/ that gives you the PRO vs. CON aspects of milk. Here’s how the site introduces itself:

“Milk is one of the most popular beverages in the United States. We have been told it ‘does a body good,’ but some scientific studies have found that contrary to popular belief, drinking milk may do more harm to our bodies than good.

Proponents of milk say calcium and other vitamins and minerals in milk make it an important part of a healthful diet for people of all ages. They argue that milk’s benefits include weight loss, strengthening bones, improved cardiovascular and oral health, cancer prevention, and relief of PMS.

Opponents of milk argue that it contributes to obesity, calcium deficiency, allergies, heart disease, cancer, and other health ailments. They argue that claims regarding milk's benefits are merely advertising campaigns designed to promote dairy sales and that many nutritious alternatives to cow's milk exist.”

When you land on that page, be sure and click on the orange bar on the right near the top that says, “Top 10 Pros & Cons”. It’s a great resource for you to pick which camp you’d like to be in.

ANTI-MILK
There are actually two groups within this camp: those who are totally against drinking homogenized, pasteurized milk but are for drinking raw milk, and then there are those who are totally against drinking any kind of milk.

Robert M. Kradjian, MD, Breast Surgery Chief Division of General Surgery in Daly City, CA has a very convincing “letter to his patients” (http://www.notmilk.com/kradjian.html) that you should read. His conclusion is, “So don't drink milk for health. I am convinced on the weight of the scientific evidence that it does not ‘do a body good.’ Inclusion of milk will only reduce your diet's nutritional value and safety.”

Joseph Mercola, DO, has the best site for the natural approach to health. His site is among the top ten visited sites for health information on the planet. He has a very interesting article you’ll want to read about “raw milk”:
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/20/raw-milk-bans-are-about-protecting-big-dairy.aspx

Friend, I could go on and on and on about this hot topic of milk. But the bottom line here is that it IS your CHOICE. You choose what you want to believe based on what it DOES for you. I will tell you that if you suffer from any kind of health issue – large or small – please go on the “elimination diet” where milk is one of the first foods you’ll be eliminating. If you don’t won’t to go on the elimination diet and you do drink milk, stop and see how you do without it for a week or so and then reintroduce it. If you use milk for cooking, you may want to try almond or coconut milk instead. Please NEVER use soy milk for anything.

Milk in the Bible
The Bible makes reference to milk. Milk was mostly from goats with cow’s milk mentioned as well as camel’s milk, too. But everything was vastly different then. So, I’d be careful if you’re going to use a biblical argument to justify drinking it especially if it’s making you sick.

1 Peter 2:2
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—

Hebrews 5:12
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food,

Hebrews 5:13
For everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.

Hebrews 5:11-14
About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

1 Corinthians 3:2
I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,

1 Corinthians 9:7
Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Or who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?

That I may confirm the oath that I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.” Then I answered, “So be it, Lord.”

1 Samuel 6:10

Judges 4:19
And he said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a skin of milk and gave him a drink and covered him.

Exodus 13:5
And when the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you shall keep this service in this month.

Genesis 18:8
Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree while they ate.

Numbers 13:27
And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

Joel 3:18
“And in that day the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the streambeds of Judah shall flow with water; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord and water the Valley of Shittim.

Ezekiel 25:4
Therefore behold, I am handing you over to the people of the East for a possession, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings in your midst. They shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.

Ezekiel 20:6
On that day I swore to them that I would bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the most glorious of all lands.

Jeremiah 32:22
And you gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Isaiah 7:22
And because of the abundance of milk that they give, he will eat curds, for everyone who is left in the land will eat curds and honey.

Proverbs 27:27
There will be enough goats' milk for your food, for the food of your household and maintenance for your girls.

Proverbs 30:33
For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife.

Exodus 33:3
Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked people.”

Exodus 3:17
And I promise that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.”’

Exodus 3:8
And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Thirty milking camels and their calves, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.

Dear KKIM Family,

May God be with you this day and all days!

“Repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15 I would love to say that constantly on the radio……I would love to buy a bunch of Radio, TV. Newspaper, and billboards with that scripture on it. This is a message for ALL OF US, yes all of us for each day!

“Repentance is to leave

The sins we loved before,

And show what we in earnest grieve,

By doing so no more.”

AMEN!

What Darlene is about to share with us is so timely……..

The Father, our God, delights in them who hear His word and keep it.
They are truly blessed above all other children of God.
You are said to be blessed when The Heavenly Father delights in you.
That’s what blessed means (God delights in you.)
All whom the Father delights in are blessed.
Seek to please God the Father in all that you do and do that which pleases God the Father.
Jesus made a list of qualities that God the Father delights in:
The poor in spirit, The meek
They who mourn, They who hunger and thirst for justice,
The merciful, The pure of heart,
The peacemakers, They who suffer persecution for justice’s sake,
They who are persecuted for Christ’s sake.
In all these God the Father takes delight.

Darlene Quiring

Thank you so much Darlene, so thankful to have you sharing here at the CUP! Darlene is from Mt. Lake, Minnesota, love that Town! Many more folks are gathering here each day! PRAISE GOD!!!!

Now hear this, O foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear.
— Jeremiah 5:21

One Nation Under God

Thank you Ernie Belanger for sharing!

In the CUP today two very AWESOME columns by Dr. Joe Fawcett in the Medical Bag and in the Financial News you need to know with Pastor Bill Ruhl! These two Godly men do such a great job for our LORD! I was thanking the LORD this morning for us being able to be SALT and LIGHT to New Mexico and the WORLD for HIM! Yesterday we broke more news stories on KKIM.

Please listen to New Mexico News and Views weekdays at 4:25, The LORD has put this call on my heart..that you are to listen!

Here is a note from Sam…We love Sam are her faithfulness…..Sharon and I Sam to come for a visit……..

Aww that would be great if I could Dewey, but it seems my traveling days are about over. My liver is acting up a bit. Two days ago, I woke up and my eyes were so Yellow. And I’ve been so tired. But Our Lord Knows Dewey, and it’s OK. IF I had a body that wasn’t so broken, I would have said ‘Yes to the Chemo, but the pain I’ve been thru was enough for me to add to it deliberately.. 🙂
Thank You Dewey for your Godly Daily ‘Cup’ it helps me make it thru the day. When I get on my Knees in the Mornings, I Thank Our Lord for the Life He has given me. And who knows maybe I am still here to be Praying for the ones on the ‘Cup’ that need me to Pray for them. …. Consider me one of the Prayer Warriors Dewey. As Long as I can, I Will. Aww after reading Sharon’s entry on the ‘Cup’ I had an urgent feeling to just ‘HUG’ her!!! 🙂 Who knows maybe we can visit one day face to face.. Sounds good to me my Brother in the Lord! I am assuming you have been praying for my niece Debby and her Half sisters and brother. Because I’ve been on the phone with them being able to witness. Only Our Lord can heal that family and with you joining with me in Prayer, it appears to be on their Hearts. I’m very thankful for that.
Love you two very much. You are Very Very Special to me. You are always in my Prayers also!! Love…sam

We are praying over you and your family Sam!

Please pray for us here at the CUP and Radio Ranch as we prepare for our 40th Birthday Praise and Worship service April 13th at Legacy Church. We have many things to do before the service and time is running short, please pray for us.

Please pray for Pastor Leonard and his lovely wife Diane as they travel to Texas to visit family. I am so blessed to have Leonard by my side. It is very important for us all top have Godly mentor’s and for people to hold us accountable.

Leonard has taught me this:

God has a desire to bless us all with spiritual power from heaven—-the authority, ability, and opportunity to do something beyond our imaginations.

We do not always know how others affect our lives………….until later as the years go by………when you do realize tell them.

I was just sharing with Sharon, that I understand more than ever why people fall…….they don’t have a FOUNDATION in our LORD to stand on. This is why I do what I do everyday, do reach my hands out to the World for JESUS CHRIST.

So many people are desperate, have given up…..they do not have a Godly family, they have know one, they have no Body of Christ around them, they have no mentor’s. They didn’t have the upbringing of you and me, they didn’t have a hometown like Windom, Minnesota. It is not our job to judge, but to HELP!

We are to offer the World a FOUNDATION in our LORD!

We are to reach through walls to reach others for JESUS CHRIST! AMEN!

I do not take for granted the love and peace I have when I go home to my Sharon and the doggies…..that is my happy hour time in our LORD!

Today my friends love on your family like never before, love on your co-workers like never before, love on strangers like never before in the name of JESUS CHRIST! AMEN!

Day 32 of our 40 Day Journey together…….

Psalm 34:20 Old testament Prophecy

He will protect all of their bones;

not even one bone will be broken.

Fulfilled in Jesus John 19: 32-36

The soldiers came and broke the legs of both the men crucified next to Jesus. When they came up to Jesus cross, they could see that He was dead; so they did not break His legs. Instead, one soldier took his spear and pierced His abdomen, which brought a gush of blood and water. This testimony is true. In fact, it is an eyewitness account; and he has reported what he saw so that you also may believe. It happened this way to fulfill the Hebrew Scriptures that “not one of His bones shall be broken.”

Let us pray over this for a time……….

Now here is the second half of Charles Spurgeon’s sermon on Faith and Reptance……I pray you share this with others……..

This brings me to the second half of the command, which is, “Believe the gospel.” Faith means trust in Christ. Now, I must again remark that some have preached this trust in Christ so well and so fully, that I can admire their faithfulness and bless God for them; yet there is a difficulty and a danger; it may be that in preaching simple trust in Christ as being the way of salvation, that they omit to remind the sinner that no faith can be genuine but such as is perfectly consistent with repentance for past sin; for my text seems to me to put it thus: no repentance is true but that which consorts with faith; no faith is true but that which is linked with a hearty and sincere repentance on account of past sin. So then, dear friends, those people who have a faith which allows them to think lightly of past sin, have the faith of devils, and not the faith of God’s elect. Those who say, “Oh, as for the past, that is nothing; Jesus Christ has washed all that away”; and can talk about all the crimes of their youth, and the iniquitous of their riper years, as if they were mere trifles, and never think of shedding a tear; never feel their souls ready to burst because they should have been such great offenders—such men who can trifle with the past, and even fight their battles o’er again when their passions are too cold for new rebellions—I say that such who think sin a trifle and have never sorrowed on account of it, may know that their faith is not genuine. Such men as have a faith which allows them to live carelessly in the present who say, “Well, I am saved by a simple faith”; and then sit on the ale-bench with the drunkard, or stand at the bar with the spirit-drinker, or go into worldly company and enjoy the carnal pleasures and the lusts of the flesh, such men are liars; they have not the faith which will save the soul. They have a deceitful hypocrisy; they have not the faith which will bring them to heaven.
And then, there be some other people who have a faith which leads them to no hatred of sin. They do not look upon sin in others with any kind of shame. It is true they would not do as others do, but then they can laugh at what others commit. They take pleasure in the vices of others; laugh at their profane jests, and smile at their loose speeches. They do not flee from sin as from a serpent, nor detest it as the murderer of their best friend. No, they dally with it; they make excuses for it; they commit in private what in public they condemn. They call grave offences slight faults and little defalcations; and in business they wink at departures from uprightness, and consider them to be mere matters of trade; the fact being that they have a faith which will sit down arm-in-arm with sin, and eat and drink at the same table with unrighteousness. Oh! if any of you have such a faith as this, I pray God to turn it out bag and baggage. It is of no good to you; the sooner you are cleaned out of it the better for you, for when this sandy foundation shall all be washed away, perhaps you may then begin to build upon the rock. My dear friends, I would be very faithful with your souls, and would lay the lancet at each man’s heart. What is your repentance? Have you a repentance that leads you to look out of self to Christ, and to Christ only? On the other hand, have you that faith which leads you to true repentance; to hate the very thought of sin; so that the dearest idol you have known, whatever it may be, you desire to tear from its throne that you may worship Christ, and Christ only? Be assured of this, that nothing short of this will be of any use to you at the last. A repentance and a faith of any other sort may do to please you now, as children are pleased with fancies; but when you get on a death-bed, and see the reality of things, you will be compelled to say that they are a falsehood and a refuge of lies. You will find that you have been daubed with untempered mortar; that you have said, “Peace, peace,” to yourselves, when there was no peace. Again, I say, in the words of Christ, “Repent and believe the gospel.” Trust Christ to save you, and lament that you need to be saved, and mourn because this need of yours has put the Saviour to open shame, to frightful sufferings, and to a terrible death.
III. But we must pass on to a third remark. These commands of Christ are of the most reasonable character.
Is it an unreasonable thing to demand of a man that he should repent? You have a person who has offended you; you are ready to forgive him; do you think it is at all exacting or overbearing if you ask of him an apology; if you merely ask him, as the very least thing he can do, to acknowledge that he has done wrong? “No,” say you, “I should think I showed my kindness in accepting rather than any harshness in demanding an apology from him.” So God, against whom we have rebelled, who is our liege sovereign and monarch, seeth it to be inconsistent with the dignity of his kingship to absolve an offender who expresseth no contrition; and I say again, is this a harsh, exacting, unreasonable command? Doth God in this mode act like Solomon, who made the taxes of his people heavy? Rather doth he not ask of you that which your heart, if it were in a right state, would be but too willing to give, only too thankful that the Lord in his grace has said, “He that confesseth his sin shall find mercy”? Why, dear friends, do you expect to be saved while you are in your sins? Are you to be allowed to love your iniquities, and yet go to heaven? What, you think to have poison in your veins, and yet be healthy? What, man, keep the thief in doors, and yet be acquitted of dishonesty? Be stained, and yet be thought spotless? Harbour the disease and yet be in health? Ridiculous! Absurd! Repentance is founded on the necessity of things. The demand for a change of heart is absolutely necessary; it is but a reasonable service. O that men were reasonable, and they would repent; it is because they are not reasonable that it needs the Holy Spirit to teach their reason right reason before they will repent and believe the gospel.
And then, again, believing; is that an unreasonable thing to ask of you? For a creature to believe its Creator is but a duty; altogether apart from the promise of salvation, I say, God has a right to demand of the creature that he has made, that he should believe what he tells him. And what is it he asks you to believe? Anything hideous, contradictory, irrational? It may be above reason, but it is not contrary to reason. He asks you to believe that through the blood of Jesus Christ, he can still be just, and yet the justifier of the ungodly. He asks you to trust in Christ to save you. Can you expect that he will save you if you will not trust him? Have you really the hardihood to think that he will carry you to heaven while all the while you declare he cannot do it? Do you think it consistent with the dignity of a Saviour to save you while you say, “I do not believe thou art a Saviour, and I will not trust thee”? Is it consistent with his dignity for him to save you, and suffer you to remain an unbelieving sinner, doubting his grace, mistrusting his love, slandering his character, doubting the efficacy of his blood, and of his plea? Why, man, it is the most reasonable thing in the world that he should demand of thee that thou shouldst believe in Christ. And this he doth demand of thee this morning. “Repent and believe the gospel.” O friends, O friends, how sad, how sad is the state of man’s soul when he will not do this! We may preach to you, but you never will repent and believe the gospel. We may lay God’s command, like an axe, to the root of the tree, but, reasonable as these commands are, you will still refuse to give God his due; you will go on in your sins; you will not come unto him that you may have life; and it is here the Spirit of God must come in to work in the souls of the elect to make them willing in the day of his power. But oh! in God’s name I warn you that, if, after hearing this command, you do, as I know you will do, without his Spirit, continue to refuse obedience to so reasonable a gospel, you shall find at the last it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah, than for you; for had the things which are preached in London been proclaimed in Sodom and Gomorrah, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and in ashes. Woe unto you, inhabitants of London! Woe unto you, subjects of the British Empire! for if the truths which have been declared in your streets had been preached to Tyre and Sidon, they would have continued even unto this day.
IV. But still, to pass on, I have yet a fourth remark to make, and that is, this is a command which demands immediate obedience. I do not know how it is, let us preach as we may, we cannot lead others to think that there is any great alarm, that there is any reason why they should think about their souls now. Last night there was a review on Wimbledon Common, and living not very far away from it, I could hear in one perpetual roll the cracks of the rifles and the thunder of cannon. One remarked to me, “Supposing there really were war there, we should not sit quite so comfortably in our room with our window open, listening to all this noise.” No; and so when people come to chapel, they hear a sermon about repentance and faith; they listen to it. “What do you think of it?” “Oh—very well.” But suppose it were real; suppose they believed it to be real, would they sit quite so comfortably? Would they be quite so easy? Ah, no! But you do not think it is real. You do not think that the God who made you actually asks of you this day that you should repent and believe. Yes, sirs, but it is real, and it is your procrastination, it is your self-confidence that is the sham, the bubble that is soon to burst. God’s demand is the solemn reality, and if you could but hear it as it should be heard you would escape from your lives and flee for refuge to the hope that is set before you in the gospel, and you would do this to-day. This is the command of Christ, I say, to-day. To-day is God’s time. “To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation.” “To-day,” the gospel always cries, for if it tolerated sin a single day, it were an unholy gospel. If the gospel told men to repent of sin to-morrow, it would give them an allowance to continue in it to-day, and that would indeed be to pander to men’s lusts. But the gospel maketh a clean sweep of sin, and demandeth of man that he should throw down the weapons of his rebellion now. Down with them, man! every one of them. Down, sir, down with them, and down with them now! You must not keep one of them; throw them down at once! The gospel challengeth him that he believe in Jesus now. So long as thou continuest in unbelief thou continuest in sin, and art increasing thy sin; and to give thee leave to be an unbeliever for an hour, were to pander to thy lusts; therefore it demandeth of thee faith, and faith now, for this is God’s time, and the time which holiness must demand of a sinner. Besides, sinner, it is thy time. This is the only time thou canst call thine own. To-morrow! Is there such a thing? In what calendar is it written save in the almanack of the fool? To-morrow! Oh, how hast thou ruined multitudes! “To-morrow,” say men; but like the hind-wheel of a chariot, they are always near to the front-wheel, always near to their duty; they still go on, and on, but never get one whit the nearer, for, travel as they may, to-morrow is still a little beyond them—but a little, and so they never come to Christ at all. This is how they speak, as an ancient poet said—
“‘I will to-morrow, that I will, I will be sure to do it’;
To-morrow comes, to-morrow goes, And still thou art ‘to do it’;
Thus, then, repentance is deferred from one day to another,
Until the day of death is one, And judgment is the other.”

O sons of men, always to be blessed, to be obedient, but never obedient, when will ye learn to be wise? This is your only time; it is God’s time, and this is the best time. You will never find it easier to repent than now; you will never find it easier to believe than now. It is impossible now except the Spirit of God be with you; it will be as impossible to-morrow; but if now you would believe and repent, the Spirit of God is in the gospel which I preach; and while I cry out to thee in God’s name, “Repent and believe,” he that bade me command you thus to do gives power with the command, that even as Christ spake to the waves and said, “Be still,” and they were still, and to the winds, “Be calm,”, and they were quiet, so when we speak to your proud heart it yields because of the grace that accompanies the word, and you repent and believe the gospel. So may it be, and may the message of this morning gather out the elect, and make them willing in the day of God’s power.
But now, lastly, this command, while it has an immediate power, has also a continual force. “Repent ye, and believe the gospel,” is advice to the young beginner, and it is advice to the old grey-headed Christian, for this is our life all the way through—”Repent ye, and believe the gospel.” St. Anselm, who was a saint—and that is more than many of them were who were called so—St. Anselm once cried out “Oh! sinner that I have been, I will spend all the rest of my life in repenting of my whole life!” And Rowland Hill, whom I think I might call St. Rowland, when he was near death, said he had one regret, and that was that a dear friend who had lived with him for sixty years would have to leave him at the gate of heaven. “That dear friend,” said he, “is repentance; repentance has been with me all my life, and I think I shall drop a tear,” said the good man, “as I go through the gates, to think that I can repent no more.” Repentance is the daily and hourly duty of a man who believes in Christ; and as we walk by faith from the wicket gate to the celestial city, so our right-hand companion all the journey through must be repentance. Why, dear friend, the Christian man, after he is saved, repents more than he ever did before, for now he repents not merely of overt deeds, but even of imaginations. He will take himself to task at night, and chide himself because he had tolerated one foul thought; because he has looked on vanity, though perhaps the heart had gone no further than the look of lust; because the thought of evil has flitted through the mind—for all this he will vex himself before God; and were it not that he still continues to believe the gospel, one foul imagination would be such a plague and sting to him, that he would have no peace and rest. When temptation comes to him the good man finds the use of repentance, for having hated sin and fled from it of old, he has ceased to be what he once was. One of the ancient fathers, we are told, had, before his conversion, lived with an ill woman, and some little time after, she accosted him as usual. Knowing how likely he was to fall into sin he ran away with all his might, and she ran after him, crying, “Wherefore runnest thou away? It is I.” He answered, “I run away because I am not I; I am a new man.” Now, it is just that, “I am not I,” which keeps the Christian out of sin; that hating of the former “I,” that repenting of the old sin that maketh him run from evil, abhor it, and look not upon it, lest by his eyes he should be led into sin. Dear friend, the more the Christian man knows of Christ’s love, the more will he hate himself to think that he has sinned against such love. Every doctrine of the gospel will make a Christian man repent. Election, for instance. “How could I sin,” saith he. “I that was God’s favourite, chosen of him from before the foundation of the world?” Final perseverance will make him repent. “How can I sin,” says he, “that am loved so much and kept so surely? How can I be so villainous as to sin against everlasting mercy?” Take any doctrine you please, the Christian will make it a fount for sacred woe; and there are times when his faith in Christ will be so strong that his repentance will burst its bonds, and will cry with George Herbert—
“Oh, who will give me tears?
Come, all ye springs,
Ye clouds and rain dwell in my eyes,
My grief hath need of all the wat’ry things
That nature hath produc’d. Let ev’ry vein
Suck up a river to supply mine eyes,
My weary weeping eyes; too dry for me,
Unless they set new conduits, new supplies
To bear them out, and with my state agree.”

And all this is because he murdered Christ; because his sin nailed the Saviour to the tree; and therefore he weepeth and mourneth even to his life’s end. Sinning, repenting, and believing—these are three things that will keep with us till we die. Sinning will stop at the river Jordan; repentance will die triumphing over the dead body of sin; and faith itself, though perhaps it may cross the stream, will cease to be so needful as it has been here, for there we shall see even as we are seen, and shall know even as we are known.
I send you away when I have once again solemnly declared my Master’s will to you this morning, “Repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Here are some of you come from foreign countries, and many of you are from our provincial towns in England; you came here, perhaps, to hear the preacher of whom many a strange thing has been said. Well and good, and may stranger things still be said if they will but bring men under the sound of the Word that they may be blessed. Now, this I have to say to you this morning: In that great day when a congregation ten thousand times larger than this shall be assembled, and on the great white throne the Judge shall sit, there will be not a man, or woman, or child, who is here this morning, able to make excuse and say, “I did not hear the gospel; I did not know what I must do to be saved!” You have heard it: “Repent ye, and believe the gospel.” That is, trust Christ; believe that he is able and willing to save you. But there is something better. In that great day, I say, there will be some of you present—oh! let us hope all of us—who will be able to say, “Thank God that ever I yielded up the weapons of my proud rebellion by repentance; thank God that I looked to Christ, and took him to be my Saviour from first to last; for here am I, a monument of grace, a sinner saved by blood, to praise him while time and eternity shall last!” God grant that we may meet each other at the last with joy and not with grief! I will be a swift witness against you to condemn you if you believe not this gospel; but if you repent and believe, then we shall praise that grace which turned our hearts, and so gave us the repentance which led us to trust Christ, and the faith which is the effectual gift of the Holy Spirit. What shall I say more unto you? Wherefore, wherefore will you reject this? If I have spoken to you of fables, of fictions, of dreams, then turn on your heel and reject my discourse. If I have spoken in my own name, who am I that you should care one whit for me? But if I have preached that which Christ preached, “Repent ye, and believe the gospel,” I charge you by the living God, I charge you by the world’s Redeemer, I charge you by cross of Calvary, and by the blood which stained the dust at Golgotha, obey this divine message and you shall have eternal life; but refuse it, and on your heads be your blood for ever and ever!

March 21, 2012. Experiencing the Kingdom of God is like the crown jewel of our faith. The Prophet John preached it. As did Jesus. Today we marvel at the mystical wonder and practical reality of the Kingdom of God. My wife insisted on taking me to lunch today at this fabulous restaurant. I was embarrassed at her lavish love for me. She insisted. When finished, God had me shower her with my gratitude and affection to so honor me! There are at least two churches I know who brandish this as their calling card and marque: “Experiencing the Kingdom of God.” New revelations are changing things. Right here tonight in my home we will celebrate together through “Experiencing the Kingdom of God.”

March 21, 2012. The saying that “It is the darkest just before dawn.” is not a scientific fact but in contrast to the light it appears to be true. “You are going through something now that appears dark because you were in a degree of light before this occurred. It is not as dark as it appears. I know there are times when you feel like giving up to darkness. But instead give up to Me. I know all about the darkness. Soon the darkness will turn into light. I am here to bring light into your darkness. It will soon get lighter and lighter just as the breaking dawn turns into full day.

Psalms 139:11-12 (NASB) “If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,” Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You.” Bev Robinson

March 21, 2012. Would you allow Me to write more upon your heart? Although I have inscribed My truth on the tablet of your heart, there is more I want to show you. My desire is for you to read further than what I have already disclosed. Either you have only partially embraced My prior inscription, or you have not fully implemented the certainty of My Word. There is so much that I want to disclose to you. Will you not only open up your heart but also your mind to new revelation from Me? Though at times you have difficulty comprehending My prior inscriptions, in time you will know and understand My Truth.
Hebrews 8:10 (NASB) “FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.” Kevin Robinson

Now let us hear from Dr. Joe from the Medical Bag……..

Have You been Prescribed a Statin?
I’m always trying to keep up with the latest developments in heart research. I read quite a few online reputable resources. One website recently reported the results of a survey of cardiologists, regarding the FDA’s recent decision that all statin drugs must now have a warning on their label because they may cause some additional adverse side effects.

I want Dewey’s Cup readers to know about this because the odds are very high that some of you may be taking statins and for sure have loved ones who do. Published numbers of folks taking statins here in the USA vary from 11 million to 30 million. Statins generate at least $34 billion in sales each year (and growing). Statins have raked in over a quarter of a trillion dollars since they were introduced about 20 years ago.

This cardiologist’s survey went on to state that among statins side effects are elevations in blood glucose levels, the Hb A1c (which is a measurement of long term blood glucose concentration hence a predictor of diabetes), and that there’s a reversible loss of memory and cognitive function. These side effects seem to be related to statins’ major action of lowering serum cholesterol levels.

Keep in mind that part of the cell membrane is composed of cholesterol, as are a number of hormones in our body. Cholesterol is very critical for our body to function correctly. So, bringing down cholesterol levels does have many adverse consequences for other bodily functions, even if it is promoted as a primary goal of reducing cardiovascular atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Always keep in mind that just about everything you do is always a two-edged sword. There is virtually nothing you can do that doesn’t have adverse, as well as beneficial consequences. It all comes down to a question of balance between risks and benefits.

I thought you’d be interested in the results of this survey, which reflects the experiences and opinions of 793 mainstream cardiologists, regarding the safety of statins, in light of the new FDA mandated labeling change that warns that statins may cause increases in blood glucose, and HbA1c, and also potentially result in memory loss and confusion which can be reversed.

The survey was a kind of a Q & A for cardiologists:

Q: Are you concerned about an increased risk of diabetes in patients on a statin?
A: Not concerned 33%
Somewhat concerned 42%
Very concerned 24%

Q: How frequently have you seen glucose/HbA1c levels rise in patients taking statins?
A: Never 38%
Infrequently 47%
Often 13%

Q: Are you concerned about memory loss/cognitive problems in patients started on a statin?
A: Not concerned 46%
Somewhat concerned 32%
Very concerned 21%

Q: Have you seen signs of cognitive effects in patients taking statins?
A: Infrequently 27%
Never 65%
Often 7%

Not surprisingly, some of this web site’s medical doctors were very skeptical of these results. A large percentage of cardiologists (although this is a limited sample) are not impressed with these new FDA mandates, as they don’t see (or don’t recognize) the problems with glucose or cognitive impairment.

But a rather vocal minority is adamant that the statin drugs are indeed problematic, and that the cited problems are likely due to the nature of statins that lower serum cholesterol.

So what are you and I to make of this controversy and what should we do?

My advice is that you do nothing different from what you have been doing without consultation with your doctor. This is not a case where majority rules. Oftentimes, the majority is wrong.

Don’t take prescription drugs you absolutely don’t need. But DO take them, if they are recommended as the ABSOLUTE BEST option for your individual case, by your doctor. And schedule your routine blood tests to make sure your liver and kidneys are staying within the normal parameters.

Always keep in mind that every prescription drug, every supplement, food, even water, has a downside, as well as a positive side. Choosing which and what to do must be an individual decision, based on YOUR specific case. THAT’S why you need to partner with your doctor on such decisions: it’s a team effort…we get healthy better when we get healthy together.

If your situation argues for statins, don’t flat out refuse them. Instead, ask your doctor if there are any other options. If there are not, then ask what type of testing will be prescribed to check for any potential adverse effects. If possible, though, try natural methods first – apply known principles of diet and exercise, with known beneficial supplements such as Fish Oil capsules and cayenne pepper capsules; to lower “bad” cholesterol, lower triglycerides, raise “good” cholesterol, reduce cardiac risk, and increase your cardiopulmonary reserve and lung capacity.

Financial Advice You Need to Know:
“A penny saved is a penny earned.” Here’s an interesting method of saving pennies to add to your earnings. Everyone at one time or another has probably enjoyed a good cup of “latte”. But, did you know that the “latte factor” in your life could be spoiling your financial health? Here’s what the “latte factor” is all about. Seems a university professor of economics gave his class an assignment some years ago to test a little financial “memory” theory he had come up with. He challenged his class to set aside a certain amount of money as cash and to use it for “all” their expenditures during the coming week. At the beginning of the next class week the professor had each student write down everything they had spent that money on. Not to his surprise, but actually proving his point, the majority of his students could not account for every penny spent. What was missing? The “Latte Factor”; those things that people purchase on such a regular basis (habitual buying) that their minds do not record in their long term memory accounts. It’s a habit, just a passing thought is all it warrants. And what was the culprit for most of the students? Yup, that nice cup of java, purchased at their regular student hang out while discussing the plight of world affairs and the latest fashion trends. That habit had become so routine, it just wasn’t remembered. But it was money spent and over the course of time that “latte factor” can add up to a tidy sum.
Try this for a month. Take an unused check book register, keep it with you, and write down everything you spend, every day for one month. Gas, rent, utilities, gum, movies, cosmetics, haircut, food, eating out, “lattes”, everything both needs and just wants. At the end of that month make two separate lists: One category will be needs such as rent, gas, utilities, food, etc and the other will be wants such as movies, eating out, sodas, gum, “lattes”; you get the picture. Then identify on the wants side those items that are consistently reoccurring. These are the “Latte Factors”, better known as BUDGET BUSTERS! You just do them over and over without really thinking about the consequence they have on your finances. A picture is always better than a thousand words, so let’s paint a little, startling picture for you. One cup of java a day, at $3.00 @ cup (I’m being kind here) equals $1095.00 per year! Yup, that should give you an immediate caffeine headache. If you are struggling with getting control of a “latte factor” in your life, just multiply it out to a yearly cost and that should make the decision a lot easier.
