Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM/KARS family,

May the Lord be with you this day and all days……..

WOW! Since I returned from Minnesota and the Memorial service for Uncle Joe I have been getting up at 3:30am!!! My clock is really off! I at least try to sleep till 4:30. Sharon said that’s what happens when you get old….go to bed early and get up early and now my clock is stuck on Central time! LOL LOL!

I just found some of my Dad’s WWII US Marine stuff!!! PRAISE GOD!!! he was a Sgt. in the Marines in WWII.

The most common mistake American Christians make in worship today is seeking an EXPERIANCE rather than SEEKING GOD!!!!

SEEK the eye’s of JESUS!!

Pastor Jim Montoya and I were talking about raising up Disciples……….over lunch yesterday.Do you know what a blessing it is to have lunch with your Pastor? Lunch with your mentor’s? I pray that you are able to have lunch with your Pastor….away from the Church…….lunch with your mentor’s away from the busy world……….anyhow let me share this…….

Jesus called His disciples to “come follow me” Matt. 4:19 More than anything else, Jesus wanted to spend time with His disciples. He knew that being with Him in all kinds of situations would equip the disciples to do that for which He had chosen them. They soon learned the truth of Jesus declaration, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing” John 15:5

I really think ,we as the Church are missing the boat on that one.We need to Preach it! We need to Walk it!

Jesus message is very simple so that a child can understand it. Adults have complicated a lot of the simple message of Jesus Christ.

May we be in prayer for………

From Pastor Raul Martinez……..

God bless you; please pray for Kathleen Ritz for housing and for Jeff Simons and family they are asking for healing from cancer, thank you

Let us continue to pray for Marci and Scott Cheney and their little boy. Today the Doctor’s are having a meeting with the family to make some decisions. Marci says again the Doctor’s have given up. Scott’s Parents gave up long ago. Marci also told me last night that her Mother has a recurrence of cancer. This family is under such strain.

I am so blessed by my relationship with Kyle Martin and all those at Time To Revive. Kyle called me yesterday and had me record a prayer for the Revival in Flint, Michigan. Kyle told me around 400 people have volunteered to come to Flint to aid in the Revival! PRAISE GOD!!!! Please go to www.timetorevive.com for more details. Kyle, who I call a young Billy Graham, recently spoke at the Cove, Billy Graham’s Retreat Center, on Revival. Kyle is on KKIM/KARS weekdays at 5:30am and 4pm. He truly is a Godly leader here in America, carrying out the Great Commission.

Let us pray for the Revival in Flint, Michigan. It is unsettling to me as Kyle moves forward and cannot get the cooperation of some Christian Radio stations. Some Christian Radio stations do not have their eye’s on Jesus, but on “Mans format for Christian Radio” Too many plan it out without Jesus in it.

Yesterday in the taping of our TV program, Open Doors, Dewey and Friends,KAZQ CH 32 Alpha-Omega Broadcasting the home of Pastor Ray and Brenton Franks, we talked about the Great Commission, fulfilling to our Lord what we are all to do. All of us. Shona Neff and KKIM/KARS Ministry Rep. Ryan Freeman were our guests. Shona has a great message for those of you who have thought of writing, speaking, or doing Radio/TV Ministry to fulfill the Great Commission. Ryan’s interview will air Easter weekend. What a tremendous testimony, a man who died three times as a 1 1/2 year old in the hospital of cancer and saw Jesus. He shared this on the air with me last night on NM News and Views as we begin to soften our hearts for Good Friday and Easter

I am reminded that are strength is in our weaknesses.

I see posts from time to time from Amy who we are praying for as she for  years now, has battled cancer……she is very joyful in our Lord on facebook…..she faces her disease with the Lord with her….a young mother……..a wife……..

I get many phone calls and emails everyday that I do not publish, because some do not want it to be…The reason I share this, is that  so many are fighting a great battle today, whether it be marriage issues,  or it’s cancer, money problems…….etc

Let us turn to Isaiah 8:17…..

The Lord has hidden himself from his people, but I trust him and place my hope in him.

It is easy to worship God when things are going great in your life. When  you have your health, family, friends, food, money, job, housing,  happy situations,,but  what happens when life turns on a dime and disaster strikes?

Just look around us…How would America handle what the Japanese are going through?

I have not heard of any looting or killings over food and water and…just no violence!

Would that happen in America? sadly, I don’t think so. Just look what happen with the hurricanes in this country…. shootings, killings, violence, looting etc….

And let’s see, in Japan the Country is about 1% Christian and in America we are a Christian nation..or are we?

HUGE STATEMENT!

That is a very good example for us..on how the Japanese people have reacted to the greatest tragedy in their Country since WWII. And it is getting worse.

As Pastor Paul Holt said when he served our Country in the Air Force he found the Japanese people so kind and courteous. I hear that over and over. I look at this Japanese ballplayer the Minnesota Twins signed to play, he apologizes to his teammates when he makes a mistake…goes right up to the pitcher and says he is sorry for making an error.

HUGE STATEMENT: Then you have a couple of years ago when the Clown Manny Ramirez of the Dodgers was doing drug rehab here at Isotopes Park and the Albuquerque fans filled the ballpark and cheered for this clown. A guy who has used the game of baseball in an illegal way..he drugged himself through it and now has been caught again and retired. Thank the Lord for that. To think we had Parents take their Children to Isotopes Park to cheer this guy on when it was and is known he was playing the game illegally…. makes me ill…..is this the kind of role models Parents in America are looking to? What were these Parents thinking?

No drug problem in Japanese baseball!

So it seems to me, we can learn something from the Japanese people on how to handle Tragedy even thou there are only about 1% Christians in that country. From having everything one minute and then nothing the next minute and having an extreme nuclear problem, and many don’t know the Lord……….

Maybe this says more about America than it does about Japan.

“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and then walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.”

The words of author Brennan Manning

This past weekend we posted on what is going on in China with the growth of Christianity, and the battle Christians face with the Government…….we look at the Revival in Flint, Michigan, now look at what is happening in Vietnam….KKIM/KARS Frank Haley has this report today……….. PRAISE GOD!!! WAKE UP AMERICA IS MY PRAYER!!!!

(Ho Chi Minh City)     Thousands of people committed their lives to
Jesus Christ at an historic evangelistic festival in Vietnam’s Ho Chi
Minh City, April 9-10.

The festival to mark the nation’s 100-year celebration of the
Protestant church in Vietnam almost didn’t take place, according to
evangelist Luis Palau, the event’s organizer.

Palau’s team was granted to permission to hold the festival in Ho Chi
Minh’s Thanh Long Stadium a mere three hours before it was scheduled
to start.

The rally, which took place April 9-10, was the first time since 1975
that a global Christian leader was allowed to share the Gospel to such
a massive Vietnamese audience.

The historic gathering could signal an improvement in relations
between the government and the country’s churches.

Church leaders in Vietnam’s capital city of Hanoi are still trying to
obtain permission for Palau to hold similar rallies on April 15-16.

Palau said he’s hoping to see “a similar if not greater harvest” as
last weekend’s event.

Read | Romans 5:6-11

What do you think about when you see a depiction of Christ on the cross? Most of us are overwhelmed by the physical and emotional suffering that He endured—the scourging, beating, thorns, nails, mocking, and shame. We are horrified at the cruelty of the Romans and the hard hearts of the Jewish rulers.

But during the crucifixion, far more was happening than the eye could see. God was carrying out His plan to rescue mankind, providing everything we need for salvation:

1. Redemption. Jesus paid the full price of the debt we owed for transgression: death. His payment set us free from bondage to sin.

2. Forgiveness. God could now release us from the punishment we deserved.

3. Propitiation. Christ’s payment satisfied
the Father by fulfilling His demand for justice while letting Him forgive us.

4. Justification. On the basis of Jesus’ sacrifice, the Lord now declares believers not guilty. Although we will still sin in this earthly life, our standing before God is one of righteousness. This is a legal declaration that can never be reversed.

5. Reconciliation. The sin barrier that separated us from the Father was removed by Christ’s death on our behalf. We’re now God’s children—we have open access to Him and fellowship with Him.

The crucifixion was the only way to rescue lost humanity. If there had been any other way, the cross would have been a grotesque display of divine cruelty. But because so much was at stake, it can truly be called the greatest act of love by both the Father and the Son.

Let us keep praying for each other and our families……..

 

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and Family
