Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

Liz just emailed this to me…..please keep this in your prayers………

Dewey,

Please keep the Milford family in your prayers this morning. Gordon House, who drove drunk in 1992 killing Melanie Cramer and her three children, may be released and I am sure they can use some prayer and support.

Thank you,

Liz

Thank you Liz, KKIM’s Frank Haley has this news story at www.ykkim.com It is story that has been reported nationally. I pray that Gordon House has had a change of heart and accepted our Lord Jesus Christ.

I also pray that New Mexico will have leaders that will pass a law that states if you are stopped one time for DWI your privilege of driving and car will be taken away for at least 1 year…….one strike and you are out! Enough of the talk how New Mexico has gotten tougher when we still have many being stopped for the 19th TIME!!! SAD, BUT TRUE!!! First time at least 1 year in jail. It is time for TRUE LEADERS!! TOUGH LEADERS!!! Stop the NOTHING NOISE!!! Just like the kids that robbed the Starbucks where daughter Gretchen works……yes again……….second hold up in 6 months……..again by gun point……….again by repeat offenders!!!! One of the thugs was under house arrest!!!!!

New Mexico needs a Tent City in the desert surrounded with a huge fence and let these thugs fend for themselves! I will let you know what I really think Monday!

But really enough is enough, why do we allow these thugs to continue to hurt the majority????

By the Grace of God the Milford family will pass through this…….by the GRACE of God………the kind of GRACE HE only offers.

Amazing Grace!

Also please pray for Lisa Bryant of Los Lunas whose house burned up! Lisa and her four children escaped without injuries. If you can help this family with clothes or anything would you please email me right away. They where unable to save any of their clothing and personal items.

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

“But my life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24 I keep reading that verse………and just keep reading those words……everyday I pray over those words…….Read on my dear friends….

Stand true to what you believe. Be courageous. Be strong. 1 Cor. 16:13 also read 1 John 3:16-18.

We ask that God give you a complete understanding of what HE wants to do in your lives. Col. 1:9

Let me share with you these prayer needs……….

Raymond is an old friend of mine from back in the military days….can we please add his request.

thanks Dewey. From Joe Rowe

Greetings all:
Since I know that you are the praying sort, I wanted to ask that each you would pray for an old friend of mine from Vermont, along with his family and church congregation.
Verne Vittum was confirmed today as having stage four cancer, most likely of the bone, which has spread to his lungs. It was not expected at all as he is still quite young, in his 60’s. This gentleman was very influential and helpful to my mother, brothers and I as we were growing up and dealing with several issues.
I ask that you would pray for his healing, and the healing and comfort of his family and church.
If you have any other questions, you can let me know.
Thank you each in advance for your consideration in this matter.

Respectfully,

Raymond M Harris

Update on Ruth Ann, she is recovering well from her cancer surgery and the Doctor’s believe that they got all the cancer! Praise God!

Today, please pray for all those, where ever they may be………awaiting the results of medical tests. I know some who have been waiting for over a week now.

And who of you being worried can add a single hour to his life? Matt. 6:27

I want to share with you an AWESOME letter that I got from a KKIM listener Billy Lorne. He and his lovely wife attended the Weekend To Remember…….It is one of the best letters I have ever received……..feel the passion and love of the Lord in his letter………

Hi Dewey,

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for choosing us as one of the winners for the free registration into the “Weekend To Remember” conference this weekend. I had no clue what I was in for. If it had not been for my wife and your promotion of the event, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to attend. It’s kind of hard at this point to put into words the effect the conference had on me (we) because I’m still digesting a lot of it. But the biggest impression I walked away with was God’s presence over the speakers (and attendees) and the message they delivered-regardless of the delivery style (you know, some people might have taken offense at Tim’s humor while others yawned during Gary’s talks). I’ve sat in many small groups-Christian and non-Christian-and have been left wanting for lack of content and life. I’ve often wondered where is the power anymore in our meetings-the power to bring tears of repentance and tears of joy; the power to bring honesty and truth-the truth of what’s really going on in our lives as Christians and the power to bare down on our realities and bring transformation. I believe we were visited with a breath of that power this weekend. Of course we know that power to be God Himself. How refreshing! And talk about a nice resort in Albuquerque-sheesh! We had never been there before.

Thank you for promoting the event tirelessly. Most likely, me and my wife will get involved locally with Family Life for now on, whether it be participating in or hosting a group or just simply being open to other opportunities with them. We’re already looking forward to next year’s conference.

Thanks, again, Dewey. God bless. If there is anything I can ever do for you or your listeners, just drop me a line.

Billy Lorne

I would encourage you to read Billy’s letter again..about the TRUTH, the POWER! Good going Billy! You got me fired up…….I am so tired of the NOTHING NOISE in society!

Here is another note on the Weekend to Remember……..

Dewey,

It was an honor to meet Sharon. I’m so glad you could enjoy the weekend together.

I want to thank you again for the incredible support you and KKIM gave to this event. I have attached a copy of the top 10 quotes we compile from the conference. Feel free to share them with anyone from the station that would be encouraged to hear of what God did.

I love you, brother. Stay strong in the Lord and I will talk with you soon.

Here is a note from Leonard Sanchez after Wed’s posting on Marriage…….

Amen. Wow

I needed this. I will pray that the mans cup continue. This would be good for

brothers to share our struggles. God bless ,Leonard Sanchez

Leonard………good point………we must always keep ourselves sharp….

Let us continue…………

A husband sacrificially loves his wife.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her…..in the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church. Ephesians 5:25, 28, 29

He CHERISHES his wife by:

Being trustworthy

Making her load lighter, not heavier

Listening to her

Praying with her (Sharon and I make it a point to pray together at least once a day, we were doing this before the conference and are more committed to pray together)

Putting her needs ahead of his own

He NOURISHES his wife by:

Helping her develop and utilize her gifts and abilities

Helping her fulfill her purpose and dreams (Guys, we get caught up in our mission and sometimes forget our wives purpose and dreams)

Showing her and telling her he loves her

Making romance a priority

Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing her honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7

Okay, guys……..let that soak into your hearts and souls………..pray about it……..read it over and over………..Ladies…….share this with your husband……also check out www.familylife.com for more info

Let us focus on your wives…….let us be the husbands God intended us to be.

Guys, also have good men around you….as you become like those you hang around with!

I had such nice talks with Tim Gannon, David Standridge, Pastor Steve Smothermon, Pastor Mark Tross yesterday……I try and surround myself with men of God!

It is so interesting as we go through this on marriage……..marriage is under attack here in New Mexico and all over our country………Here is an update on SB 12………

ACTION ALERT – SB 12- Domestic Partnership (the gay marriage bill)
There is High Probability of a Vote on Monday Feb. 23

Do not hesitate to use both telephone and e-mail contact to contact your senators. Ask them to vote NO on SB 12:
• Despite repeated assurance that SB-12 will not lead to same sex marriage, it will. That IS the goal. The bill’s language is identical to the language in the MA and CA bills. DO NOT BE FOOLED!
• The majority of New Mexicans DO NOT want same sex marriage.
Please flood the senate will calls, e-mails and faxes. Don’t forget your own senator! And PRAY!
All senators may be faxed at 505-986-4280. CALL YOUR SENATORS:

Pete Campos-Democrat
petecampos@newmexico.com 505-986-4311

The vote is so close in the Senate that Lt. Gov. Diane Denish could be the deciding vote and she has said she will vote for SB-12!

Have you caught Pastor Leonard yet on KKIM? What an AWESOME addition to the KKIM line-up! He helps me out on New Mexico News and Views and also does his own program, “Bible Booster” Monday’s and Friday’s at 5:05pm…….By the way Leonard Pastor’s at Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood, NM

YOUR BIBLE BOOST
February 19, 2009

HOPE
Your Bible Boost for today comes from Isaiah 50 verse 10, “Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust the name of the Lord and rely on His God.”

Have you ever had a dream where it seemed there was “NO WAY OUT?” I have. Boy was it sure vivid and striking in every detail. I’m driving along when I come upon a narrow two land bridge. Approaching from the other direction in a very high rate of speed is an 18 wheeler. My thought is, “if he stays on his side of the road, I’m o.k.” But even as that thought is birthed, the 18 wheeler begins to drift over into my lane. As I look to my right, the bridge guard rails prevent me from escaping to the right. The 18 wheeler is crossing over the center lane towards me. To stay the course means an “unavoidable”, “no way out” collision. As we approach each other I hear brakes squealing, people screaming, and just before impact…I wake up. My heart is racing, I’m panting, I am bathed in sweat and I’m all out of breath. It was just a dream.

Maybe each of us has been in such a circumstance and it wasn’t just an unavoidable car wreck in a dream. Maybe it was an unavoidable wreck in the journey of life. Maybe an unavoidable divorce. Death of a loved one. Teen on drugs where it seemed there was no way out. Unavoidable Depression. Or a myriad of other “unavoidable” situations. Where do you go? Maybe you feel like I did in that dream of mine where I was boxed in on all sides. No place to turn. No way out. All of the choices were either tried or rejected. If you have not faced such situations in your life, trust me, you will. Life is just like that. There are, OR there will be circumstances, in life, that appear to offer “NO HOPE” and NO WAY OUT!.

Well, my friends, Isaiah offers us HOPE. HOPE when everything seems out of control. Hope when it seems all is lost, unavoidable. Hope in the darkness. LISTEN CLOSELY to Isaiah; “LET HIM WHO WALKS IN THE DARK, WHO HASNO LIGHT, TRUST IN THE NAME OF THE LORD ANDRELY OF GOD”.

There you have it. When times of “no hope”, or “unavoidable situations” appear, there is HOPE in GOD. When it seems there is NO WAY OUT. Trust in the name of the Lord. When we trust in GOD He provides the strength for those “NO WAY OUT” situations. When we rely on HIM, He guides, guards and supports us through those tough unavoidable situations of life.

SO, YOUR BIBLE BOOST FOR TODAY IS FROM ISAIAH 50:10, “TRUST IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, RELY ON GOD.”

I am praying for you,

Leonard

Loving God’s People
Bishop Walter S. Thomas

Hebrews 10: 24-25 says this:
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

It goes without saying that often in life we feel alone. We feel as if we are standing against the storm alone, fighting the rising tide alone, dealing with the difficulty alone, and living the great moments alone.

Life has been so unkind to so many of us that we have failed to cultivate or revisit the art of being close to persons and knowing the joy that comes from true and genuine fellowship.

We can find ourselves seeking to be alone because we feel it is safer and we won’t be hurt. The real truth, however, is that we are missing out on what God has purposefully put in our path: His people.

God knows we cannot make this journey by ourselves and still know the fullness of the joy God has for us. What God has for us is intricately woven into fellowship and cannot be fully experienced until we allow ourselves to embrace the community of which God has us a part.

He has given us His people and now we must learn to love again. Jesus said that we would be known as his disciples ‘by our love one for another.’ God allows us and teaches us how to love and just what love means.

He teaches us that within the confines of God’s family, we must learn how to love and to forgive. We must learn how to care and to be compassionate. We must learn how to celebrate and to serve.

I must admit…I love the people of God. They have been my instructors in life, my companions in suffering, my cheerleaders in success, and my friends in life. The writer of Hebrews said that we should not take this love ‘for granted.’

We should seek out ways to build upon it and to encourage one another. We have a community that is always looking for new ways to inspire and to edify us. In the midst of a world that wrestles with the meaning of love, God has placed us in a community that seeks to practice love.

Let us not be naive; the church is far from perfect. It has its flaws and makes its mistakes, but it is the bride of Christ being prepared for her Lord.

A love for God’s people can help us all to realize that we should not live out our lives’ journey by ourselves.

Let us close in prayer………..

Dear Heavenly Father, Remind us once again that YOUR WILL will never lead us where YOUR grace won’t sustain us. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

Is there anything worse than blindness?

Oh Yes! A person with sight an no vision. Helen Keller

Are we blind to what is going on around us?

Are you going through your marriage blind? (I have at times!)…too many times!

I am really thankful to the Lord for the opportunity to have gone to the Weekend to Remember Marriage conference! I also am so blessed with our relationship with all the folks at Family Life Today, which you hear on KKIM at 7am and 8:30pm weekdays.

In the session for men, we were only separated from our wives for about an hour and a half…..Tim Muelhoff, who I want to have on my program, addressed the men.

A man takes responsibility, to follow Christ.

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Cor. 16: 13-14

I am going to be sharing, Lord willing over the next couple posts, things I learned at the Weekend to Remember, and then maybe you will go the next time.

Be strong……….but do it all in love.

A Man acknowledges Christ as the absolute leader in his life.

AMEN! The Lord must be our leader men, not TV, golf, softball, video games etc…….

He follows Christ.

“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Matt. 16:24

To many of us end up at times following something else.
So many of the problems we face today in America is because us men, have not done our duty. The good news is that we can correct ourselves!

He obeys Christ.

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” John 14:15

He depends on the Spirit moment to moment.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Gal. 5:25

He courageously assumes the responsibility to love and lead his wife and family.

A man takes responsibility for his role as a husband.

God has designated the husband as the head of the relationship.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is also the head of the church, he himself being the Savior of the body. Ephesians 5:23

His leadership is NOT BASED ON SUPERIOR ABILITIES but on divine placement.

Headship means:

Assuming responsibility for the marriage.

being accountable to God.

IT DOES NOT MEAN BEING A BULLY OR BOSS OR DICTATOR!

Tim said in the session, in the room about our size, 250 men, about 2 to 3 percent are beating their wives. Pornography is also a huge problem in the Church.

God has designed the husband and wife with equal value.

There is neither Jew or Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male or female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:28

God loves man and women equally.

I will close this today and Lord willing wrap it up on Thursday or Friday.

Just remember men…………

A wise husband values his wife as his partner and helper.

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Gen. 2:18

I PRAISE GOD for the Marriage conference……..if you want more info on Family Life Today and Weekend to Remember go to www.familylife.com

Men, how long has it been since you have tuned up your marriage? It had been too long for me!

I repeat if men would be doing better at what we are supposed to do in serving the Lord and his commands, we would not have so many problems today.

Please allow me to close in prayer………..

Lord God, Truth and Life, Let us savor the moments and not fret the what-ifs and might-have-beens. In the name of Jesus, Amen!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
