CUP of FAITH and HOPE KKIM/DDC

Dear Family of Jesus,

Thank you so much for stopping by today for a CUP!

Jesus said, “Be careful what you are hearing.” Mark 4:24

WOW! last night was such a blessed evening! We played a doubleheader lost game one, by one run and won the second by a big margin! In the second game this 56 year old got to pinch run for a 36 year old!!!!!!!!!!!! We smoked em! I thank the Lord for the ability to get out there on HIS green grass and play the game! PTL! Hallelujah!

We continue to pray for rain, as our area has so much land going up in flames. Tonight on NM News and Views we will go live to Ruidoso, NM to get an update from our Dear friend Harvey who runs one of the radio stations there and also works in Emergency Management. We are on our way here in New Mexico to having nearly 350,000 acres across this great state burned up before the first day of summer. People in the know keep telling me some of this is because of poor management of our Forests. Bad Policy, they say. Harvey, I am sure will have more to say on this as he is in the Know on these matters.

Bonita Park Nazarene Camp and Conference Center, Dear to the heart of many has suffered fire damage………….this was posted on their Facebook page……..

Bonita Park has sustained substantial damage due to the Little Bear fire. Structures in the lower part of the campground appear to be useable. Until we are able to get onto the campground and assess the damages with the insurance adjusters and utility companies, we will not know the complete extent of the damages. We do know that there is currently no electric, no gas, no sewer or water.

A decision has been made that Bonita Park will not be open for business through July 1, 2012.

After July 1st, we will re-evaluate this status.

Access to the grounds is limited at best. Please know that we are getting information to you as quickly as it is available to us.

We know that the future of Bonita Park (as well as the past) is resting in the hands of the God of the Universe. We know that he is NOT surprised by this and He will be faithful to bring us through it!
Thank you so much for loving Bonita Park!!!

Let us be on our knees often praying with FAITH for RAIN!

I get so excited in out LORD when I get an email like this!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, oh, oh! This morning’s cup got me SOOOOOOO excited! I’ve been studying faith as well! Meditating on Hebrews 11:1 in the Amplified version this morning! I would add one thought to your list of how Satan steals God’s word: laziness or lack of discipline…….I see too many believers who have a “Want to” attitude, but no “backbone” when it comes to making time to get into God’s word.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning at 10 am at your office. Can I bring you a coffee or something?

Blessings,

WOW! Michael you encourage me! I was thinking of you when I wrote the CUP as I knew you are on a FAITH JOURNEY! Isn’t it exciting!WOW!

I am going to repeat something that I believe is so important…….

The seeds that fell along the path stand for those who hear; but the Devil comes and takes the message away from their hearts in order to keep them from believing. Luke 8:12

How does Satan take away God’s Word?

Through disappointing experiences, man made “Christian” traditions, human reasoning, erroneous beliefs we cling to.

“For with the heart one believes” Romans 10:10

I will leave you with this today. As My Daddy used to say this is where the rubber hit’s the road………by the way Flag Day which is June 14th is My Dad’s Birthday. He always teased us kid’s growing up that they flag was flown for his birthday!!!! LOL LOL! What a week we would have at home Flag Day with Downtown Windom all dressed up in the American Flag, Dad’s Birthday and then Father’s Day! Dad would cook us his great burgers and hotdogs on the grill! Thank YOU LORD for such a Godly Dad!!! Great memories!!! Dad went to heaven now over 20 years ago….What he taught me I carry with me this day and all days, same with Grandpa Caraway and Uncle Joe….Three Great Godly Men in my life..who I miss very much. Thank YOU LORD! hallelujah!!! PTL!

Often there is a time period that begins when we originally believe God for something specific and continues until the work is completed or manifested. This is the Critical belief period. It’s the period when what you are “believing for” hangs in the balance, we all have been there right? It can go either way, and it’s all according to your faith. Bevere says to people who are questioning why God did not come through for them, “Somewhere in the critical belief period, you believed more in the adversity than in God’s Word.!”

Oh my friends I thank the Lord for His discernment, I was attacked on all sides yesterday, but by Faith I persevered, we must realize that Satan is trying to bring us down each day. See it for what it is in God’s eye.

The seeds that fell in good soil stand for those who hear the message and retain it in a good and obedient heart, and they persist until they bear fruit. Luke 8:15

Look at yourself..are you bearing good fruit? Are you surrounding yourself with mentor’s that are bearing good fruit?

Notice the words in Luke 8:15………”persist until they bear fruit.” When you believe deeply, you will endure, withstand hardship, and persevere through nay adversity that opposes what God has revealed to you. This is why it is so important to hear His voice in our hearts from Scripture. Once we do, we should dwell on it, ponder it, focus on the Image painted by it, then speak it. AMEN!

Jesus told stories of fish to fisherman, stories of farming to farmers, stories relating to business and finance to businessman, and stories of weddings, family relationships, and other general stories to crowds. he did this so everyone could connect the truth to something concrete in their daily experience. And God does the same thing today for you and me—–He uses words to paint pictures of what He desires on the screen of our imagination. Since the Enemy and God are both contending for the screen of your heart and mind, this is the Spiritual warfare zone, for whatever fills the screen and is believed, that is what will come forth in our lives. The words we hear and heed on a daily basis will paint pictures on our hearts screen. This is why Jesus says, “Be careful what you are hearing.” Mark 4:24

What are you hearing this Day?

Is it in line with God’s Word?

What do you read and watch?

Satan speaks words into your mind of failure, defeat, poverty, sickness, hopelessness, inability to help others—–the list is endless. he delights in you seeing yourself as ordinary and unable to experience Godly change! I know this to be true, because I was once Lost! I have seen it in many, because they do not believe in Spiritual Warfare, many do not believe in Satan. Worry is his greatest tool because it is the antithesis of faith. Worry paints a picture, even plays out the movie on the screen of your heart before it happens. What you fear dominates your screen.

God does just the opposite. He speaks words that produce images of hope. This is why Scripture says of Abraham:

Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be. Romans 4:18

We have reduced the word HOPE down to “maybe so”.When we say. “I hope so,” we really mean, “It probably won’t happen, but maybe it might.” That is not a Biblical perspective. The word HOPE in the Bible is defined as “a confident expectation.” Abraham believed in the hope, the vision, God had painted on the screen of his heart. because FAITH, Abraham called himself the “father of a multitude” before he and Sarah had a son in the natural realm. He believed the deed was done because God could not lie. This explains why the writer of Hebrews communicates……….

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for. Hebrews 11:1

PTL! Hallelujah!!!

Thiis is from the Whisper of God and tied right in with today’s CUP!!! PTL

What The Lord Is Saying Today

Sponsor a child and change a life. There is still time to sponsor a child for this school year and help them get an education. See below.

June 12, 2012. It is beginning to look like truth has become a scarce commodity. Some of the best people you know are often lying when they appear to be telling the truth. This happens when the heart of a man/woman has lost integrity. With integrity, the heart sounds true every time. Without integrity, it becomes anybody’s guess where the truth may manifest, if at all. Many if not most have lost their fear of God when doing wrong. The home has abandoned keeping watch on the hearts of kids and their parents. No more spankings or having your mouth washed out with soap when you lie. Think of it. How many times do you hear it said of someone, “If he/she tells you something, you can take it to the bank?” Repent as needed. Set a goal for impeccable integrity.

Psalm 12:1-4 (NASB) “Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases to be, for the faithful disappear from among the sons of men. They speak falsehood to one another; with flattering lips and with a double heart they speak. May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks great things; who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?” Ras Robinson

June 12, 2012. Last night I dreamed about expansion. I walked into an older house where someone was moving out. Others were moving in and learning from the ones who were leaving. The house was in tip top condition and had been used very efficiently. The transition was smooth and people were helping each other move out and move in. Outside, behind the building, was a huge ocean liner. The Lord says, “This will not be as you first think. Don’t jump to conclusions quickly. I will show you where, how and when to expand. You are going to ride on My Spirit in a big way. Keep your thoughts contained under My direction.

Ecclesiastes 8:5 (AMP) “Whoever observes the [king’s] command will experience no harm, and a wise man’s mind will know both when and what to do.” Bev Robinson

June 12, 2012. I am a blessed man. Through the years, my dad has spoken somewhat unbelievable words to me. He has often said how proud he is of me. With a sparkle in his eye, he has often said that someday I might understand just how he feels about me. I’m speechless every time, yet my heart leaps inside of me. The Lord says, “You delight Me in more ways than you could ever imagine. In My word is a glimpse of how I truly feel about you. I am very, very proud of you! I pray that you can truly see and know how I feel about you. May you be enlightened today.”

Ephesians 1:18 (NLT) “I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called-his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.” Kevin Robinson

Okay before we get to the Medical Bag with Dr. Joe, let’s get this FUNNY BONE that Sharon found…….

Kevin had shingles.
Those of us who spend much time in a doctor’s office should appreciate this! Doesn’t it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line?
Here’s what happened to Kevin:

Kevin walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Kevin said: ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.

Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aide came out and asked Kevin what he had…
Kevin said, ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Kevin to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Kevin what he had. Kevin said, ‘Shingles..’ So the nurse gave Kevin a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Kevin to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later the doctor came in and found Kevin sitting patiently in the nude and asked Kevin what he had.

Kevin said, ‘Shingles.’ The doctor asked, ‘Where?’
Kevin said, ‘Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload ’em??’

HOPE THIS MAKES YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD LIKE I DID… THAT’S WHY I HAD TO SEND THIS TO YOU….THESE DAYS WE NEED ALL THE LAUGHS WE CAN GET

Does Sugar Make You Stupid?

A new UCLA study shows that a high-fructose diet (for instance, drinking too many sodas) sabotages learning and memory.

Attention, college students cramming between midterms and finals: Binging on soda and sweets for as little as six weeks may make you stupid.

A new UCLA rat study is the first to show how a diet steadily high in fructose slows the brain, hampering memory and learning — and how omega-3 fatty acids can counteract the disruption. The peer-reviewed Journal of Physiology publishes the findings in its recent May 15, 2012 edition.

“Our findings illustrate that what you eat affects how you think,” said Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a professor of integrative biology and physiology in the UCLA College of Letters and Science. “Eating a high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain’s ability to learn and remember information. But adding omega-3 fatty acids to your meals can help minimize the damage.”

While earlier research has revealed how fructose harms the body through its role in diabetes, obesity and fatty liver, this study is the first to uncover how the sweetener influences the brain.

The UCLA team zeroed in on high-fructose corn syrup, an inexpensive liquid six times sweeter than cane sugar, that is commonly added to processed foods, including soft drinks, condiments, applesauce and baby food. The average American consumes more than 40 pounds of high-fructose corn syrup per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“We’re not talking about naturally occurring fructose in fruits, which also contain important antioxidants,” explained Gomez-Pinilla, who is also a member of UCLA’s Brain Research Institute and Brain Injury Research Center. “We’re concerned about high-fructose corn syrup that is added to manufactured food products as a sweetener and preservative.”

Gomez-Pinilla and study co-author Rahul Agrawal, a UCLA visiting postdoctoral fellow from India, studied two groups of rats that each consumed a fructose solution as drinking water for six weeks. The second group also received omega-3 fatty acids in the form of flaxseed oil and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which protects against damage to the synapses — the chemical connections between brain cells that enable memory and learning.

“DHA is essential for synaptic function — brain cells’ ability to transmit signals to one another,” Gomez-Pinilla said. “This is the mechanism that makes learning and memory possible. Our bodies can’t produce enough DHA, so it must be supplemented through our diet.”

The animals were fed standard rat chow and trained on a maze twice daily for five days before starting the experimental diet. The UCLA team tested how well the rats were able to navigate the maze, which contained numerous holes but only one exit. The scientists placed visual landmarks in the maze to help the rats learn and remember the way.

Six weeks later, the researchers tested the rats’ ability to recall the route and escape the maze. What they saw surprised them.

“The second group of rats navigated the maze much faster than the rats that did not receive omega-3 fatty acids,” Gomez-Pinilla said. “The DHA-deprived animals were slower, and their brains showed a decline in synaptic activity. Their brain cells had trouble signaling each other, disrupting the rats’ ability to think clearly and recall the route they’d learned six weeks earlier.”

The DHA-deprived rats also developed signs of resistance to insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar and regulates synaptic function in the brain. A closer look at the rats’ brain tissue suggested that insulin had lost much of its power to influence the brain cells.

“Because insulin can penetrate the blood–brain barrier, the hormone may signal neurons to trigger reactions that disrupt learning and cause memory loss,” Gomez-Pinilla said.

He suspects that fructose is the culprit behind the DHA-deficient rats’ brain dysfunction. Eating too much fructose could block insulin’s ability to regulate how cells use and store sugar for the energy required for processing thoughts and emotions.

“Insulin is important in the body for controlling blood sugar, but it may play a different role in the brain, where insulin appears to disturb memory and learning,” he said. “Our study shows that a high-fructose diet harms the brain as well as the body. This is something new.”

Gomez-Pinilla, a native of Chile and an exercise enthusiast who practices what he preaches, advises people to keep fructose intake to a minimum and swap sugary desserts for fresh berries and Greek yogurt, which he keeps within arm’s reach in a small refrigerator in his office. An occasional bar of dark chocolate that hasn’t been processed with a lot of extra sweetener is fine too, he said.

Still planning to throw caution to the wind and indulge in a hot-fudge sundae? Then also eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, walnuts and flaxseeds, or take a daily DHA capsule. Gomez-Pinilla recommends one gram of DHA per day. You can get DHA at any health food store. When you purchase Fish Oil you’ll see DHA along with EPA.

“Our findings suggest that consuming DHA regularly protects the brain against fructose’s harmful effects,” said Gomez-Pinilla. “It’s like saving money in the bank. You want to build a reserve for your brain to tap when it requires extra fuel to fight off future diseases.”

The UCLA study was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Gomez-Pinilla’s lab will next examine the role of diet in recovery from brain trauma.
