Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

I want to thank you all for being friends in the Lord and inviting us into your lives. We are making so many new friends here at KKIM and the Cup! WE PRAISE GOD!!!

It is so touching to have YOU as a friend.

As Mike Gibson says, “I do not know many of the folks we pray for, but thanks for using their names so I can pray for them.”

As Miki Vasquez says, “It is an honor to serve the Lord.”

That it is Miki!

Let us BOAST in the LORD!!!!

Here is what are friend Susan Swafford sent us……..so timely……….

Here is an acronym that we can remember to help us have that continued peace and rest that the Lord so freely wants to give us in the midst of storms that inevitably come our way:

S tay in God’s Word

L eave everything in His hands

E arnestly mediate upon Him

E mbrace His comfort, and

P ray continually

God bless you and your ministry,

Susan Swafford

I got an email awhile back from a friend, who says he does not hear from the Lord. In my daily walk with Jesus Christ I have learned to listen! For a guy who talks a lot and is a self-proclaimed mike hog, that is a HUGE achievement!

Listen….for the Messenger the Lord sends……….the Holy Spirit……….

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14: 26-27

We obey Jesus not by gritting our teeth and doing what we hate, but by depending on His power to enable us to do what our love for Him compels us to do. Willing obedience leads to an intimate relationship. Charles Stanley

“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and …We will….make Our home with Him.”John 14:23

What I have found so POWERFUL and PEACEFUL at the same time is having the Holy Spirit guide me.

I am not the sharpest knife in drawer and I wish I could explain it better…….but pray to the Lord and ask for HIS guidance. Make yourself vulnerable to the Lord. Open up! HE will speak to you!

Chuck Swindoll in his book on Job, suggested praying spread out on the floor with your face down and let it all out! Give it up all to the Lord!

But always remember that the Lord has us here to spread HIS WORD AND GLORY and all our prayers need hands and feet, and voices for the TRUTH here in this world.

In the Love of Jesus Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

First this from pastor Don and then please read below for some disturbing news out of Questa, New Mexico.

ABIDING FRUIT

Read John 15:16

Jesus has chosen us for Himself and made us a people for His own possession, that we might proclaim the many excellencies of Him Who has called us out of darkness into His glorious light. We have been given power from on high so that we might be witnesses for the Lord, and we have the assurance that, if we are faithful in sowing the Word of the Lord, He will bring forth abundant fruit through us. – T.M. Moore

Maranatha!

Thank you Pastor Don………..look forward to hearing you this morning on KKIM at 7:30 with Nuggets of Truth. Heights Christian also air’s their Sunday services on KKIM, Sundays at 4pm.

Today, in New Mexico parts of the state are having a snow storm. Sharon is still waiting for 1-25 to open to Santa Fe so she can get to work. School’s in Santa Fe are closed today.

Please pray for us here at KKIM as we put on our suit of armor everyday to bring the TRUTH………….

Last night on New Mexico News and Views we covered this story and are encouraging all to call the school and ask that this school board member be removed from the board. We as Christians can not sit back and not take action when things like what is going on in Questa, NM are going on. We need to bring light to these situations. God’s children are at risk……..Last I heard School officials were to protect our children……..I guess not in Questa!!! Here is the details reported by Pastor Mark Tross……..

NEWS MAKER OF THE DAY:

Dr. Deb Gunderman, Biblical Counselor, and Host of Walking In The Way, heard right here on KKIM, AM 1000 from Albuquerque, FM 94.7 in Santa Fe and around the world on the Internet at http://mykkim.com joined Station Manager Dewey Moede, Pastor Leonard Navarre and me today to talk about Questa Independent School Board member Matt Ortega’s MySpace page, which features pictures of scantily clad women, some as young as fourteen, sexually suggestive language, as well as materials that glorify drinking and we’re not talking cartons of milk either! We all had much to say on this particular topic and only wish we had more time to share our NM Views, but you came to the right place, because we have all the time in the world here J This guy was just re-elected to the school board in February and of course, he sees nothing wrong with his MySpace page and calls himself a “family man.” He claims he has no way of controlling the pictures on his personal page, but Leonard proclaimed, “He’s a liar,” so let THE TRUTH be told, HE’S A LIAR! Questa’s computer policy prohibits staff from displaying or storing “inappropriate material,” but Ortega is an elected school board official, so he’s not subject to any district policy. Hey Questa Voters and Parents, Who’s watching the hen house? Ortega says he has nothing to hide and he’s not worried about his teenage “friends” being exposed to any risqué’ material. Board President,

David Zimmerman said he had not been aware of Ortega’s page, but he said there is little the board could do. “School board members fall under a very peculiar category,” he said. “It’s pretty tough to put any sanctions on a school board member.” PECULIAR is right! Mr. Zimmerman, you should be VERY aware of this situation by now. Zimmerman said the board could censure Ortega, which he described as a “slap on the wrist.” What they should do is strap some handcuffs on Ortega and file charges against him for corrupting minors. One thing I do agree with Mr. Zimmerman about is that he said. “One recourse is a recall.” Questa residents, DEMAND A RECALL ON THIS GUY! Questa Superintendent Eric Martínez is apparently in agreement with Ortega that the page is a non-issue. In an e-mail, he admonished The Taos News for focusing on the negative and would not answer questions about school policy. Apparently Questa Superintendent Eric Martinez needs to go too! I’m with Dewey, Leonard and Dr. Deb, we’re living in the last days. You would have to be blind not to see the wheat and the tares clearly. Jesus is coming back to separate His Sheep from the goats and like I said on air, There’s no king in the land and everybody wants to do what’s right in their own eyes, even if it endangers our children. Be sure to visit Dr. Deb’s website at: http://www.walkingintheway.com .

We have a bunch of KKIM listeners in the Questa area…….please make the voice of God heard! We are working on this story as we go and will provide phone numbers soon. But many of you have the number or can goggle the number. If you think I am fired up for the Lord now….you should have heard me last night!

Here is a key Bible verse in this situation………We cannot be conformed to this world!

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2

Just one last note………I got an email saying I was becoming to “cause oriented” WOW! I am here for the cause of my Lord Jesus Christ. If we as Christians do not stand up for the Lord, who will? It astounds me that people who call themselves Christians just sit back and say it is none of their concern, or they say let go, let God. WOW! What if Paul and others would have had that attitude?

I leave you with this…………….Something to chew on………

If you let sleeping dogs lie, you won’t be bit, but you won’t be blessed either!

In the Love of Christ,

Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

This is an overflowing cup! Some of you tell me that you go back to the Cup several times a week to read it over and over and also pass it along to others! PRAISE GOD!!!
We have a full mailbag………we would love to hear from you! At the bottom of the CUP is a special message from Max Lucado…..so make sure a finish your CUP!

Can there be anything more thrilling that your son coming to you and saying, “Dad I have my favorite Bible verse!!!!!!!…….19 year old Lars, It is Matthew 23:39, Love your neighbor as yourself.

Lars has grown so tired of the hate in the United States. He just turned 19 and is growing up so fast! He is our youngest and a student at CNM taking up Movie production and related courses.

Let’s look at Matt 22: 37-40

He said to him, “Love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments.

Here is a PRAISE note: Lars got hired at Cliff’s Amusement Park here in Albuquerque for the summer! PRAISE GOD!!! I get to go on the Merry-go-round!!!!

“Don’t fret or worry, Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”
Philippians 4:6-7

Let us pray for Cowboy Clarence. He is not feeling well. Clarence is a HUGE supporter of KKIM. He covers us in prayer!

Thank’s to all of you who have called and sent emails thanking us for our coverage of the Legislative session…….We PRAISE GOD for the resources and friends to be able to do that!
We praise God for KKIM!
Folks who really help us, are our Ministry programs, and Ministry sponsors. You can help us keep going full speed ahead by supporting the Ministries and businesses that support KKIM!
Please prayfully consider supporting our ministry and business sponsors.

Come April, Lord willing I begin my 4th year as Steward of KKIM! It is the best job (even thou I do not look at it as a job…….I really have never had a job in my life, because what I do is part of my life. My Dad always told me that if you do something for a living that you love dearly……it is not a job….look at it as part of your life) KKIM turns 37 years old on April 15th! PRAISE GOD!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!

Our dear friend, Daniel Ruiz of New Mexico’s Body of Christ has put out his very first edition of Salt and Light magazine. Congrats Daniel!!! You can pick up your copy at the KKIM offices or Bibles Plus. By the way Dr. Deb, who is on KKIM every Saturday at 8:05am is featured in the magazine and KKIM has a full page ad in this brand new, wonderful publication!!!

I also want to thank Jeff at TV 32 and 36 for producing for us our new TV ad!!!! Watch for it on these two wonderful Christian TV stations!

PRAISE GOD FOR ALL OUR FRIENDS!!!!!

Here is our wonderful friend Karen Rowe who you hear every Saturday at 7:45am……….

Ever thought about how real Jesus IS?

Jesus is so dear to me!

I am listening to….How Great IS our God!

How can we deny HIM now?

God IS the beginning…
and the end to all suffering….

Only Jesus can lift us up to God! Now how Great IS our God!

For God so loved the world that HE sent HIS one and only son that who so ever believes in HIM shall not parish but have ever lasting life! John 3:16

and ….How Great IS our God!

Ever had one of those days…broken and tired; exhausted in all emotion to being overcome and don’t know how to escape?
Whether trapped in sin, overcome in fear or just tired…Just say HIS NAME

JESUS

There is no need for fancy words…

HE hears our heart and mutters of our soul in our words.

Come to HIM…

How Great IS our God!

Just rest in HIS arms that know peace and joy.

May we know the love that we are covered in by the grace of God and the blood of Jesus!

Thank the LORD this morning as I was up all night watching my son just breathe!
He had an allergic reaction, but is fine.
But what a scare!

And today, I just want to say from my soul…
There is no one more important in our lives than Jesus.

HE COVERS US…Thank the good LORD for being in our life! May we just remember that God is good.
Bad things may happen, but God IS still Good!

God IS the beginning and the end.

Jesus came so that we may have eternal life and life to the full…

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!

All will see… how great IS our God.

Name above all names.
Worthy of all praise!

My heart sings …How great is our God!

from the words of the song…How GREAT IS OUR GOD…Chris Tomlin

Feeling low and need lifted…listen to this song of Praise and feel God’s energy lift your soul with an energy that surpasses all knowledge…PRAISE TO GOD! Praise to God is all it takes to lift our soul.

God bless us one and all!

Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe

Thank you Karen………remember friends you can hear Karen Saturday mornings at 7:45 on KKIM.

Here is a wonderful story Roy, who is from Colorado, sent us………

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little
girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like.
Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed
the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby
and said, ‘Go into the other room and see if you can put this together.
This will show you our whole country today. After a few minutes, Shelby
returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together.
The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly.
‘Oh,’ she said, ‘on the other side of the paper
is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged,
then our country just came together.’
AMEN!!!!

Let’s check that overflowing mailbag…………….PRAISE GOD!!!!!

Dewey,
Just want to let you know how much I appreciate you all, and this
station–your programming, including Bible teaching, news, updates on
what’s happening in Santa Fe, etc. This really keeps us informed,
mind and spirit; with TRUTH, thank the Lord.

God Bless you and all the staff at KKIM.

Dear Dewey, Sharon and family, Greetings
It was such a blessing to receive your ‘Cup’ this morning. It was very uplifting. And as usual a feeding for my soul.
Yesterday as I went out to enjoy the day, I noticed a Ladybug had fallen into the pool. It being the first one I had seen this year, plus one that needed a hand. I stop and picked it up, put it on my finger and watched as it slowly walk around my finger and stretch its little wet wings. What a small blessing that was. It showed me that summer is truly on the way. And one of Gods creatures was out, enjoying the day also.
Sometimes it just takes a small thing to remind me that Gods mercy is everywhere. And when I stop to ‘smell the roses’ He shows me another miracle.
I too will turn 29 soon, on the 3rd of April. Happy Birthday to all who are reaching this wonderful age of wisdom. {:)
Have a Great Day! God Bless. sam

Dewey,
Thanks for your message today. I needed to hear that Jesus is with me, and knows me, and understands me. I’m going through some depression and anxiety right now, and this is just what I needed to hear.
Blessings, Gwen

Dewey,

Thanks for such a tasty and touching cup this morning. It was like a love note from God.

I’m struggling a bit with next Saturday’s show…not with the content (your cup confirmed my topic), but with timing. Some shows just don’t time well, and this is one of them. In fact I needed a break (been at it for two hours) and decided to check my email. Your story about the elderly man with a sick wife gave me a renewed spirit to get back to my show prep.

Not only am I inspired, but I absolutely LOVE when God confirms I’m on the right track. For some reason, this show was just on my heart and God wouldn’t let me leave it alone. Be sure to listen to this Saturday’s show..I think you’ll you like it.

Shona

Make sure and listen into Shona every Saturday morning at 7:30 on KKIM…….She is such a blessing!!!!

Hey Dewey,

I have thought of you often and have been praying for the sale of your home in LA. I am going to give you a Bible verse by memory, Lord HELP, and I feel that this applies to you today. We are to keep our face like a flint upon the Lord, looking not to the left nor the right. That is not the exact wording but close enough. I believe what Habakkuk says in chapter 2 verse 2-4. Before I write it for you, most of us, as Christians do not know how to hear, see, or receive the visions of God. Yet the Word of God is full of examples for us.

Hear is what the prophet says: Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold the proud, his soul is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith.

I pray that the Lord will show you the meaning for you and your family and the radio station. I am moved to tell you this, my dear new friend:

Matthew 6:33

But seek first the KINGDOM of God and HIS righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

The kingdom is joy, peace, and righteousness in the HOLY SPIRIT. It is not being preachy, it is not quoting scripture, but living a different mindset than what we have ever known.

John the Baptist told us that the KINGDOM of God is coming. Jesus said that the KINGDOM is in you, it is at hand. What does that mean? I would encourage you to study this out and see what you come up with. We have made church a religion. I walk by faith NOT by a religion with man made interpretations of the Word and what they think it means.

The Word of God was written with a Hebraic mind set not a Greek mind set which we have here in the west. So where does that leave us in understanding the

Word of God? Some things to think about.

See what you have gotten yourself into by making one phone call? Ha! Blessing to all of you.

Ann Montoya

Thanks Ann, you are on fire for the Lord! By the way, would you all pray for the sale of our house in Los Alamos? We have a prospective buyer at this time. Your prayers would be appreciated.

Dewey,
Thanks again for the opportunity to talk about Celebrate Recovery. Here is the pertinent info. from the web cite:

The Purpose: The purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to provide a safe, non-judgmental place where hurting people can open up and share their struggles, strengths and hopes with one another. It also provides caring fellowship where people can celebrate God’s healing power in their lives and give hope to others. By working and applying the 8 Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually, and become willing to accept God’s grace in solving our problems, which leads us to freedom from our compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others.

History: The material was written by Pastors Rick Warren and John Baker from Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, and was initiated in 1991. It has a long track record of accomplishing the above described purpose in a variety of settings and individual circumstances. In fact, it is so successful it is currently being used nationwide and overseas and is also being implemented in many prison systems across the country and around the world.

When: Monday Evenings (All food and child care are provided free of charge.)
6:30 pm Snack N Chat (Provides time for a meal and fellowship before Large Group Meeting.)
*7:00 pm Large Group Meeting (Provides time for worship and a lesson or testimony.)
*8:00 pm Small Open Share Groups (Provides time to share struggles, strengths and hopes in gender specific groups.)
*9:00 pm On The Hill Café (Provides time for continued sharing, while enjoying a beverage and dessert.)

Dr. Deb LIVE from FLORIDA…………

Hi, Dewey,

I have to be out of town on business the weekend of April 3-5. I want to call in and do my show remote – live from Orlando, FL. I want to do my show from the Holy Land Experience. The Holy Land Experience is a theme park owned by TBN. I think this could be fun.

Hope this email finds you well.

Thanks Dr. Deb! Wonderful write up in the magazine! We will be listening for your special broadcast from Florida!

Let us close with this from Max Lucado…………

Simon from Cyrene Carries Jesus’ Cross
by Max Lucado

“A man named Simon from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was coming from the fields to the city. The soldiers forced Simon to carry the cross for Jesus” (Mk. 15:21)

Simon grumbles beneath his breath. His patience is as scarce as space on the Jerusalem streets. He’d hoped for a peaceful Passover. The city is anything but quiet. Simon prefers his open fields. And now, to top it off, the Roman guards are clearing the path for some who-knows-which-dignitary who’ll march his soldiers and strut his stallion past the people.

“There he is!”

Simon’s head and dozens of others turn. In an instant they know. This is no dignitary.

“It’s a crucifixion,” he hears someone whisper. Four soldiers. One criminal. Four spears. One cross. The inside corner of the cross saddles the convict’s shoulders. Its base drags in the dirt. Its top teeters in the air. The condemned man steadies the cross the best he can, but stumbles beneath its weight. He pushes himself to his feet and lurches forward before falling again. Simon can’t see the man’s face, only a head wreathed with thorny branches.

The sour-faced centurion grows more agitated with each diminishing step. He curses the criminal and the crowd.

“Hurry up!”

“Little hope of that,” Simon says to himself.

The cross-bearer stops in front of Simon and heaves for air. Simon winces at what he sees. The beam rubbing against an already raw back. Rivulets of crimson streaking the man’s face. His mouth hangs open, both out of pain and out of breath.

“His name is Jesus,” someone speaks softly.

“Move on!” commands the executioner.

But Jesus can’t. His body leans and feet try, but he can’t move. The beam begins to sway. Jesus tries to steady it, but can’t. Like a just-cut tree, the cross begins to topple toward the crowd. Everyone steps back, except the farmer. Simon instinctively extends his strong hands and catches the cross.

Jesus falls face-first in the dirt and stays there. Simon pushes the cross back on its side. The centurion looks at the exhausted Christ and the bulky bystander and needs only an instant to make the decision. He presses the flat of his spear on Simon’s shoulders.

“You! Take the cross!”

Simon dares to object, “Sir, I don’t even know the man!”

“I don’t care. Take up the cross.”

Simon growls, balances the timber against his shoulder, and steps out of the crowd onto the street, out of anonymity into history, and becomes the first in a line of millions who will take up the cross and follow Christ.

He did literally what God calls us to do figuratively: take up the cross and follow Jesus. “If any of you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross each day and follow me” (Lk. 9:23 CEV).

Let us pray……….

Father,

May we be less bothered by the imperfections of others and more concerned about our own transformation. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
