This from Charles Stanley weekday mornings at 8:05 on KKIM……
A Call to Godly Living
Read | Romans 12:1
The apostle Paul lived in an age when sensuality, the pursuit of pleasure, and rebellion against the Lord were prevalent. In response, he wrote letters urging Christians not to follow in the ways of the world. Like those early believers, we are to pursue godliness by…
Presenting our bodies to God. Our total being–mind, will, emotions, personality, and physical body–are to be turned over to our heavenly Father (James 4:7a). Submitting ourselves to the Lord requires a definite decision to give Him control and a daily commitment to remain under His authority. By surrendering to Him, we will position ourselves for godly living.
Becoming living sacrifices. The Christian life is built around the concept of sacrifice. Jesus left the perfection of heaven to dwell among a sinful people so He might reconcile us to God. He offered up His life to make payment for our sins (1 John 3:16) and brought us into His family. As believers, we are to follow His example. Paul called it a living sacrifice, because it is ongoing–one that is repeated daily.
Life is full of options. Many decisions involve a choice between following God’s way or our own. Maturing Christians will increasingly sacrifice their own desires and embrace His will.
A life of godliness is characterized by a heart and mind bent toward the things of God. Although we will live imperfectly, our focus is to be on obeying His will and pleasing Him. Let’s commit to becoming more like Jesus, the One who willingly gave Himself to God as a sacrifice for us.
Great words from Dr. Stanley, By being Salt and Light, by being Christ Like and caring our the Great Commission we can turn this World around for Jesus Christ! We only have to believe and do!
This is what the Lord is showing me RIGHT NOW…………..
Proverbs tells us, “It’s dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you” Proverbs 29:25…….there is so much freedom in that, I had been a prisoner of fearing what others think of me for years, now that I have for the most part, 95%, let go of that fear, I have so much freedom to serve the LORD, to be Salt and Light and say what HE tells me to say and do!
Many, many are afraid of others and what they think. maybe you are afraid of others and what they think of you.
The person who fears God has nothing to hide. In fact, he or she is scared to be away from God! King David had a holy fear of God but still ran toward Him and said, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you” Psalm 139:23-24
AMEN! FOR GODS GLORY ALONE WE GO FORTH!
Ernie is thankful for your prayers for him and his daughter Beth to be brought back together in our Lord.
Brenda sent us this prayer need, let us be in prayer.

After yesterday’s posting my neighbor Tom Johnson sent this in….what an impactful statement……
I heard a man say that he learned more as a parent than he ever learned from his parents. I learn so much from my children and from being a parent to my children.
AMEN! I cried when I read that, and said..that is how I feel at this point in my life! I am learning more from my kid’s!
I said to Linda at work that I wonder if this is how my Dad felt at 56……I miss him dearly he passed on 20 years ago.
It was a very beautiful morning here at the Moede house yesterday as Chef Greg and Natasha fixed me, Sharon and Gretchen breakfast! Food was AWESOME. conversation was even better!
Lars flies in tonight from Chicago for 10 days!
Very emotional day for me and Sharon, but an AWESOME day and then I get this from Kathy Robbins
who prophesied over me months ago……..
I saw the robin perch on the window sill
Her heart was full a gratitude for the day’s fill
And thought of you in my heart of hearts
Knowing Daddy’s working is good for you to impart
I then saw a new mother of sparrows
Lurking around her newborn fellows
She sang and jumped and pranced all around
Declaring with her song the earth is the Lord’s, it is holy ground.
What of your song and dance today
To declare this is the day the Lord has made
He sees, He knows and is ever aware
And will not be late, but with more goodness to share.
New strength we declare released from the throne
To lead others and point them toward home
As you continue to do this for Him
You will find He is busy working YOUR land.
love from the Lord to you Dewey,
Kathy Robbins
God Bless you Kathy! We love you!
Here is a note from Pastor Leonard after yesterday’s CUP……..
Praise God for you, your ministry and especially the cup this AM.
I believe with all my heart PRAYER IS THE KEY. II Chronicles 7:14…”if my people humble themselves and PRAY”.
Dewey, what would happen if Jesus’ body, the church, worldwide, would begin to fast and pray for renewal, revival and restoration. Back in the early 1800’s a prayer service was started by just 6 men at lunch time that exploded to thousands praying. Businesses had to close for the lunch hour because so many were heading to the church buildings to pray for revival and renewal. Chuck Swindol says, “THE FIRST THING AND ONLY THING THAT WILL WORK IS THE LAST THING WE TRY…PRAYER!”
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God. AND, the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” What protects our hearts? What protects our minds? PRAYER!
Praying for you, Sharon, Gretchen, Lars, Greg, Steph, Mike, Natasha your family, your ministry and influence as a person of Salt and Light. SHINE ON!
Busy busy busy, swamped. Prayers are appreciated.
Whew. Do so appreciate your prayers. thank you!
love ya

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am thrilled to inform you that the wool fleece came back
sopping and that by His grace, ELM is now planning to
continue operations next year! As in the past, the Father
showed up in a big way and, as has often been the case, He
showed up in the final moments. I want to acknowledge and
thank Pastors Alan and Gail Hawkins and their congregation
at New Life City for responding in a huge way in our time
of need. Id also like to extend a special thank you to
our intercessory prayer leaders, Joan Christy and Carol
Shirley (the schools prayer ladies) for inviting Alan
and Gail to visit ELM last week. Pastors Hawkins were
touched by the students at ELM and responded with such
tremendous love. I also want to let you know that our
families continue to fund raise and are working hard to do
more for the school than they have in the past. They have
definitely been inspired by all of you who stepped up in
our time of need. The sum of all of this (sorry for the
math pun), is that God clearly wants ELM to continue to
share the gospel in Albuquerque’s toughest neighborhood
next year 🙂
On behalf of the teachers and students at ELM, Id like to
thank you again for your prayers and support of Escuela
Luz del Mundo this year! And please dont forget that you
are invited to the annual continuation ceremony on Friday,
May 25th at 5:30 PM that will be taking place in the main
sanctuary at Crestview Baptish Church, 301 Chama St. NE.
I hope to see you there and I will also be in touch again
next fall. In the meantime, have a blessed summer and God
bless you and yours!
Yours in Christ,
Dr. Rick Kitchen, Escuela Luz del Mundo Founder and
Director

Here is a story from Dena Patton, love the name Dena as Grandma Moede’s first name was Dena!
Calling Got Lost In The Laundry
By Dena Patton
We all have a calling on our heart to fulfill God’s purpose, but how do we follow God’s calling when we don’t feel valued, worthy or qualified to do so?
I sometimes feel like I’m on a roller coaster ride that is being driven by the highs and lows of self-esteem. As a life coach I know that self-esteem plays a large part in our pursuit of our purpose but how can we move from the lows (feeling broken, unworthy, invisible or unqualified) to feeling confident, grounded, valued and brilliant in our journey to achieve our highest calling? I have struggled with this a few times in my life along with many of my clients and I’ve learned some valuable lessons I want to share…
We often get a degree or certificate from school and we feel worthy and qualified to move forward and pursue that career because we got educated and validated in that process. We feel qualified and confident to move forward to make money in that area. But yet we don’t put the same validation on our calling when God calls us to move forward in His purpose. When we hear Gods calling and he has equipped us with amazing talents and gifts, why don’t we give ourselves the permission, or feel qualified, worthy or valued enough to move forward in that calling? Instead we question it or question ourselves? Friends will come and go, fashion will change, time will continue moving on, but God will remain constant, and so will His value of you. I just went through this this year with my business – I heard God’s calling through a prayer a year ago and heard him ask me to change one of my businesses from being an inspiration program for all women to being faith based for women’s ministries. I immediately felt unqualified. Who am I to do something faith based – I’m an everyday working Christian mom — I didn’t go to school for seminary nor do I lead anything for my church? But what I do know is I’ve been an unshakeable Christian for 20 years and I love Christ and I love women’s ministry. I had to get out of my own way and let God work through me. What I learned is that he equipped me for this transition from the day I was born – he gave me the talents, gifts, skills, friends and knowledge to do it, but I had to believe that. I had to believe he would be there every step of the way. Today I have a program and retreat company that serves womens’ ministries worldwide called Sisters (www.sistersprogram.com) – I truly see how God equipped me to create this program and how it serves his church and his women and I am happy that I heard the call and I trusted the call. It wasn’t fast nor easy! It took over a year to gather the team and finish the transition, but I did it through trusting God.
One of the things I highly suggest to help you through this process is to Stop-Pray-Listen. This is something I named as I was walking through the ‘fire’ of following my calling. It wasn’t that I just prayed a lot I actually had 3 steps… the first was to stop my day from errands, parenting, cleaning the house and working to stop and pray (sometimes it was only 3 minutes!). The stopping part took some practicing because I was great at praying throughout my busy day. But the biggest challenge was the listen part! What I want to challenge you to do is to hear what God has planned for you and have the courage to move in that direction. The first steps are scary – you might feel unqualified, but do it anyway, you might feel scared, but do it anyway, you might feel alone but do it anyway. I learned quickly that I had to pray about it every day, I had to keep believing that I was equipped, I had to ask for support from my Christian sisters, and I had to be patient!!
You might be asking how do we make such a dramatic shift when the world says we can’t, or our identity is wrapped up in our career or material things?
Proverbs 3:26 – For the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.
This verse says ‘the LORD will be your confidence’, not your friends, not the clothes you buy, not your career, not the car you drive, but the LORD. You no longer need to look to other places or material objects to determine who you are and what your worth is. You don’t have to be afraid of situations and circumstances that cause you to feel insecure and doubt your value, because your real source of worth and value comes from Christ who gives you all the confidence (and talents) you need in any situation. When obstacles cause you to question your value, you don’t have to accept them, when friends or family say or do things that make you doubt your worth, you don’t have to accept them. They are not your source of worth; your worth comes from a much greater power. As a coach I know it’s hard to actually ‘apply’ or implement new ways of thinking or actions, here are 2 great books that helped me on my journey ; Return to Love by Marianne Williamson who says pray for miracles (miracles in her book are you praying that God will shift your perspective in this area so you can see newly). if you look at the world for your validation, value and worth I encourage you to pray for a miracle everyday until your mind starts to put more value on Gods’ thoughts of you verses what your neighbor thinks of you. Pray such that God will open your eyes, mind and heart to his love and acceptance and his full confidence in you, and you will start seeing yourself pursuing your highest calling and your highest self in no time!! The second great book I wanted to share about is Lioness Arising by Lisa Bevere who talks about how crucial it is to do life with your pride sisters. She talks about how strong, and confident lionesses are and how they do life together confidently. I ask that we awaken from our slumber of mediocrity and day-to-day spinning and rushing, and we step into our strength and value that God put on us and we pursue our highest calling together!!!
I believe in you!

God has given us more than 600 of the poorest children in the Philippines whose lives and future are being changed. We are believing for 1000. You can change the life of a child with your gifts to this ministry. See links below.
May 17, 2012. Many times in the early morning I arise before dawn, go outside my house and pray. I ask the Lord what He wants to say to the nations today. Some mornings, I am especially aware of gentle breezes surrounding me as I pray. The Lord speaks life to me for sharing with individuals world-wide. I am aware that as the Lord speaks, He will deliver through Me life-giving, resurrection life, power and insight to change lives for that day. It is awesome for God to give you and me that assignment to call people to be raised up and live life more fully. The Lord says today, “Speak and prophesy life to those I bring before you.”
Ezekiel 37:8-9 (NKJV) “Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ‘ ” Ras Robinson

May 17, 2012. The question is not only what can you get, but what do you need to give up and what do you need to give to get? I AM The Giver, the One who made the spiritual law of giving and receiving. Don’t give to get. Reverse the order and get to give. This is not a riddle or game. It’s a way in which life works best. I have given to you enormous freedom to lay your own track of giving and receiving. You are reaping now what you have sown in the past. If your crop now is not what you want, begin planting what you do want and reap the rewards.
Luke 6:38 (NLT) “Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full-pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” Bev Robinson

May 17, 2012. Be on the alert. Train your spirit to be aware of your spiritual surroundings. Acknowledge My Spirit moving throughout the earth. When you’re awakened with a sense of urgency, yield to Me calling your name. When you are stirred in the midnight hour, ask Me how you should respond. Be a watchman on the wall. Stand guard. Be ready and alert in the heavenly realm. Perhaps it is a time of warfare for someone on the other side of the earth. Perhaps it is for agreement with someone for My glory to be revealed. Stand guard at the post where I have placed you. At all times be ardent in prayer.
1 Peter 5:8-10 (NASB) “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.” Kevin Robinson
From Anita!
I think this is the greatest and truest description I’ve ever heard for a
Friend…
Friends … They love you,
But they’re not your lover
They care for you,
But they’re not from your family
They’re ready to share your pain,
But they’re not your blood relation.
They are … FRIENDS!!!!!
A True friend…
Scolds like a DAD…
Cares like a MOM…
Teases like a SISTER…
Irritates like a BROTHER…
And finally loves you more than a LOVER.
Send to all your good friends
Even me if I’m one of them…
The nicest place to be is in someone’s THOUGHTS!
The safest place to be is in someone’s PRAYERS!
And the best place to be is in
GODS HANDS!
Amen! Thanks Anita!
Here is our Medical bag from Dr. Joe!
Continued: Are You At Risk for Type 2 Diabetes?
Review: Nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes, a metabolic disorder that results in too much glucose (sugar) in your blood. While you can’t change some of the common risk factors of diabetes (e.g., your family history, age, and ethnicity), you can control most other diabetes risk factors. Here’s four more:
Diabetes Risk Factor #5: You Eat a Bad Diet
For many people, a bad diet boosts their diabetes odds. Most Americans eat few fruits and vegetables, which puts them at a very high risk for many health problems, including diabetes. In fact, one survey found that fewer than half of Americans eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables most days of the week. Of particular benefit are leafy greens, such as spinach, kale, and collard greens. One analysis found that eating slightly more than one serving of leafy greens a day (about 1 cup raw greens) can lower diabetes risk by 14%. Make sure you buy as farm fresh as possible.
Diabetes Risk Factor #6: You Live with Stress
Managing a busy to-do list and crazy work hours isn’t just stressful. It also increases diabetes risk. Chronic stress causes your body to release extra stress hormones, such as cortisol. In turn, that causes insulin resistance, which makes blood sugar levels climb. Stress also contributes to other diabetes risk factors, including depression, a bad diet, and poor sleep, Hatipoglu says. Manage stress with relaxation techniques that you find to work for you. Spend time with great friends or enjoy a nightly sitcom or a funny movie for some laughter.
Diabetes Risk Factor #7: You Guzzle Sugar-Sweetened Drinks
Many people enjoy an occasional soda with their pizza, but drinking too many sugar-sweetened beverages – including juices, energy drinks, sweetened ice tea, and coffee drinks – packs on pounds that can lead to obesity and diabetes. Experts suspect sugar-sweetened drinks alter the body’s ability to use insulin efficiently, causing blood sugar levels to rise. A better choice? Sip water with lemon instead.
Diabetes Risk Factor #8: You Have Hypertension
Nearly one in three Americans has high blood pressure, or hypertension, a state in which your blood pressure levels are above 140/90. High blood pressure means your heart is working harder than it should to pump blood throughout your body. Hypertension doesn’t cause diabetes, Hatipoglu says, but high blood pressure is often a sign of diabetes. The good news is many of the same steps that can help you prevent diabetes (e.g., exercising and eating right) can also stave off or lower high blood pressure.
