Dear KKIM/KARS Family.

May God Bless you and yours this day!

Happy Birthday to my mentor Pastor Leonard Navarre! He has taught me much in the love of JESUS CHRIST! Thank you Leonard for all you do for me and my family and the Radio Ministry of KKIM/KARS! You always leave people better than you find them!

Please pray for my dear friend Dr. Larry Bates who undergoes Hip replacement surgery on Monday. Bro Larry, like Pastor Leonard gives much of himself to others for JESUS CHRIST! How do I know? HE has done much for me and my family and the Radio Ministry of KKIM/KARS Larry is one of my main Mentor’s! Leaving people better off after meeting them! For God’s Glory Alone

And JESUS came and spoke to them, saying “All authority has been given to ME in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” AMEN! Matt 28: 18-20

Been up here at the Moede Ranch since 3:30am praying and listening to our LORD…….HE led me to that scripture this morning for us all…..Please take a moment in your busy day to let that soak in……in fact take a moment to let this whole CUP soak into your heart, mind and soul.

I know many of you have read that scripture over and over for year’s…….but today maybe in will move you in new ways……..that is my prayer.

The LORD has put LOVE on my heart so much of late…….softening of hearts….but standing firm in GOD’s WORD……..

Let us let the HOLY SPIRIT in to soften our hearts for JESUS even more!

My day started out at 4am yesterday brewing the CUP………The LORD led me through the writing as HE always does! Do you know I do not plan what to write…The LORD shows me during the night……..HE talks to me during my sleep and then prompts me out of bed when it is time to start writing!

Simply Amazing!!!!!!!!!

That is part of my Testimony for you this day……..so I know first hand that God talks to us through movement of the Holy Spirit.

Yesterday I was shown extreme love by Gretchen and Lars. I love these two with all my being……Gretchen left for Portales to start School at Eastern New Mexico today and Lars went back to Chicago to resume classes at Columbia in Chicago. Brian, Grecthen’s boyfriend was at breakfast with us yesterday……We all shared the Love of God and family together before we went our separate ways. Brian showed extreme love when he followed Gretchen to Portales in his car so he could help her get settled in.Broan then had to drive all the way back by himself. No small task as it is a 3 1/2 hour drive each way, but that is what LOVE is all about. Lars told me,” Dad, you are the best Dad anyone could have.” Words that any Dad worth his salt, thirsts to hear.

That is true love……….

After a long day at work, Sharon made her famous Mac and Cheese, you have not eaten Mac and Cheese until you have eaten hers! Even after a long day at work serving others, on her feet constantly as a nurse showing constant love and care to others, she comes home and treats me to this wonderful meal as she knew it was a tough day to see the kid’s go off…but it was an AWESOME day in the LORD as HE had all covered in HIS love!

That is true love……….

It mean a lot to me that Steve Stucker of KOB TV, who now is a Pastor was with us on NM News and Views last night. Steve also said he loves the CUP! I appreciated Steve’s kind words. When we moved here 17 years ago, I quickly found this TV Weatherman intriguing as he always said on air, God Bless you! When I did Saturday mornings on JOY AM 1550 years ago I took a poll of who is your favorite TV personality in New Mexico? Steve won by a landslide!!! Steve show’s the love of JESUS CHRIST everyday…….He has been doing it for years on KOB TV, and continues as a Chaplin and Pastor! Steve has been a Tim Tebow for years right here in New Mexico!

That is true love……………

Jannetta LaMort who is the Fund raiser at the Albuquerque Rescue Mission and is the web master here at the CUP…..show’s me love everyday by volunteering to post the CUP everyday! She gives of herself through out her day to help the poorest of the poor and is swamped each day serving other,but finds time each day to post the CUP..unselfish LOVE!

That is true love……..

Mike Jackson of A-1 Guaranteed Garage Doors helping me and Sharon out in getting our garage door fixed…….a refreshing experience in service……anytime someone gives you their testimony and sincerely then quotes word for word the book of John, you pay attention.

Angelo Winfield of Computer Network Designs who constantly gives to the Ministry………who has sacrificed much in his service to us. Angelo is always on call for JESUS CHRIST. No matter how tough the business climate is Angelo still gives…….sometimes Angelo just pop’s in for prayer. Angelo did the first web site for KKIM when I came 6 years ago….the station did not have one at that time!

Ben Lucero of Indigo Mortgage who always leaves people better than he finds them………Ben get’s many calls each month from KKIM/KARS listeners who need help…….even if they don’t end up doing business with him he spends time with them and guides them in the ways of JESUS CHRIST! Ben continues to give to this Ministry in many ways…….

In my study of the life of Smith Wigglesworth, he loves to state..leave people better than you found them…….if you don’t, you have done no good……The message the LORD is showing me stronger than ever is……LEAVE PEOPLE BETTER THAN YOU FOUND THEM. We cannot be in such a hurry…….it’s just like reading the Bible verse that I opened up with this morning I know many of you have read that HUNDRED’s of times, but today and all days…slow down and let the LORD show you new things from scripture……that will change your life. You will find that scripture means new things to you as you grow in JESUS CHRIST!

Let us, this day and all days show the LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST

Keep drinking this CUP as we have an excellent post on LOVE!

here is a picture of Steve Stucker in the KKIM studio yesterday with Pastor Leonard my co-host on NM News and Views, I am in the other room running the controls.

Would all you prayer warriors pray for our 11 year old grandson, Gabriel, this morning? He is having his 3rd chemo treatment. Our desire is that he is able to tolerate this treatment well and that it does the job it’s intended to do. We would be especially grateful if this would be the last one he has to have and that his kidney disease would be healed. Also pray for usual peace for his mom, Shannon and Dad, James as well as for Mark, Gabe’s step-dad.

Gloria is from Rio Rancho, NM Please keep Gabe and family in your prayers.

Prayer need from Windom, Minn……….

Good morning Dewey, Renee Giefer was Renee Ratzloff growing up her parents are Phil and Joan Ratzloff who i am sure you probably know as they drove school bus for your Dad.
Renee was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at an early age and has been insulin bound her entire life. she is an inspiration to many thru her love and devotion to God daily. She has a smile that is infectious and beautiful. She has one son Brady,, he is so talented and he gives the glory to Jesus daily also. His father died tragically on a farm accident when he was very young.
anyways, last summer her kidneys began to fail, and in Oct Nov they put her on transplant list for pancreas and kidneys, they were not hopeful of a match as she has the rarest or rare blood type. well God being God, three days before Christmas the transplant team called her at 3 in the morning and said to head to Minneapolis they were able to get a perfect match for pancreas and kidney, a young 22 yo from Florida had died in a car accident and they were bringing the organs as they spoke.
She went thru the transplant amazingly great, doctors were flabbergasted at the recovery.
anyways, she is now having a few set backs and prayers are needed. we have not put it out publicly on the team up for Renee page, but on wed she has to go back to u of m and have biopsy done on the organs to see if rejection is beginning. We pray that it is just a small blip and not a full blown rejection.
would you ask your subscribers to send her a card of encouragement to?> Renee Giefer 1252 2nd ave n Windom Minn 56101
i think i have you on the group page of TEAM UP FOR RENEE.
LOVE YA BROTHER.
RANDAL

We are praying Randy! God Bless you and all for your efforts for our LORD! Let us all send Rene a card!

Let us continue to pray over the situation in The Sidney, Montana and Willsiton, North Dakota area…….I am in mourning for the family…….here is an update on Sherry Arnold……..

WILLISTON, N.D. — Authorities renewed calls Monday for landowners near the northern North Dakota-Montana border to look for signs of a missing Montana teacher’s buried body, while documents revealed one of the two suspects in her disappearance has spent time in prison.
At a news conference Monday, authorities asked that “landowners and landowners only” help look for the body of 43-year-old Sherry Arnold, a math teacher from Sidney, Mont., who has been missing since Jan. 7 and is presumed dead.
“We don’t want the public out there running around in the countryside,” Williston Police Chief Jim Lokken said. “The landowners know their land and their property. If they see anything that has been disturbed, we want them to check it out.”
Authorities said little of the two men believed to be involved in Arnold’s disappearance: 47-year-old Lester Vann Waters Jr. and 22-year-old Michael Keith Spell, both of Parachute, Colo.
Waters was arrested in Williston, and Spell was arrested in Rapid, City, S.D., The Billings Gazette reported.

I am so sadden about this tragedy…..Crime has no zip code………let us remember that…….

Let us check the mailbag……………..

Barbara loved the CUP yesterday!

This is such a wonderful CUP. Thank you Dewey. It’s been such a long time since we have spoken, but you are in my heart and thoughts. God richly bless you.

Love & shalom,

Barbara

a Note from Sam………

Dewey, yesterday Was a great day for TV. I watched several books on the Bible. The story of Esther, of Ruth, Solomon and Jeremiah. I haven’t watched the last two, but have them recorded. Also the ‘Greatest Story ever Told.. I have to wonder if Tim Tebow has anything to do with that barage of Great Stories. While the game played with the Bronco’s over one Million people looked up JOHN 3:16 on the internet!!! Thrilled my heart to hear that. The Great Awakening of America, happening before our eyes! Praise God! sam

AMEN SAM!!!!!!!!!! And YOU are a part of it by sharing your love for JESUS here at the CUP! AMEN!

JESUS LOVES ME

God’s love for me is so great, it is beyond my understanding. The hymn “The Love of God” states the difficulty of describing His love.
“Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above
would drain the ocean dry,
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
though stretched from sky to sky.”

The Hebrew nation, God’s chosen people, rebelled against Him, rejected His commands, and refused to follow Him. Yet God did not completely refuse them or destroy them as a nation. He grieved over their sins but continued to love them with an everlasting love. Jeremiah 31:3.
Likewise, God continues to love me in spite of my weakness, my rebellion, and my failure to obey His commands. The love of Jesus is shown that while I was still His enemy He loved me so much that He died for me. Since Jesus’ loves me so, I will love Him in return in the same way He loves me.
I Will Love the Lord My God With All My Heart:
When I delight in someone else more than in God I am not loving God with all my heart. When I put God first, His love flows through me. Then I have a greater love for others. This is the proof that I love God.
I Will Love the Lord My God With All My Soul:
When I long for times of deep fellowship with God in His Word and in prayer I am confirming my love for Him. “I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate on your precepts, and consider your ways. I will delight myself in your statutes.I will not forget your word.” Psalm 119:14-16.
I Will Love the Lord My God With All My Mind:
My love for God is revealed by how I think about Him and His ways during my leisure moments. What do I think about most? Whatever it is, that is my god. Whatever I love most will constantly be in my mind. “For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:4,5.
I Will Love the Lord My God With All My Strength:
I view the commands of Jesus as expressions of His love for me. So, when I do not overcome my habitual sins, claiming that I am “only human,” I do not show love for God. For Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” “One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me.” “If a man loves me, he will keep my word.” “If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.” John 14:15, 21, 23; 15:10.
I Express My Love to God By Meeting the Needs of Others:
If I have material possessions and I see my brother in need but I do not meet his needs, how can the love of God be in me? I do not show my love with words or speech but with actions and truth.
I Love God When I Look Upon My Brothers and Sisters in Christ As I Would the Lord:
“…Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34,35.
I Prove My Love for God By Not Loving the World or the Things of the World:
“Don’t love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.” 1 John 2:15. “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:18,19.
My Love for God Is Demonstrated By Giving Up Those Activities that Offend a Weaker Brother:
“Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.” Romans 14:15.
A Test of My Love Is in the Attitude I Have Toward the Flood of Wickedness that Has Invaded America:
Are we complacent with the sinful conditions around us? Or are we grieving with God over it? “Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:12.
I Love God By Clearing My Conscience:
I show my love for God when I confess my sins and ask others to forgive me. Then I will have nothing to fear from Him in the present and also at the time of my death. I can accept my death without fear and with thanksgiving, knowing I will see the One I love. “…God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world. {4:18} There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:16-18.
My Relationship With My Brothers and Sisters in Christ Reveals How I Love God:
If they offend me, I forgive. If they abuse me, I return good for evil. “Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.” Colossians 3:12-14.
“If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.” 1 John 4:20,21.
God is Not a Respecter of Persons:
I also, as an expression of my love for God, will not be a respecter of persons.
I show my love for God by my love for others.
Because love is the fruit of the Holy Spirit, it is the sign to me and others that I am filled with God’s Spirit and guided by Him. As I look at my life, am I under the guidance of the Holy Spirit? Am I forgiving? Am I a good Samaritan? Have I stopped judging others? All these are tests of my true love for God.
“And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8
“Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.” Ephesians 6:23,24.
O MASTER, LET ME WALK WITH YOU
by
Washington Gladden, 1879

O Master, let me walk with You
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Your secret, help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.

Teach me Your patience; still with You
In closer dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.

In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future’s broadening way,
In peace that only You can give,
With You, O Master, let me live.
