Dewey's Daily Cup

Many times when God is doing the biggest works in our life we are not consciously aware of it.

Dear KKIM family,

May the Strength of the Lord be with you and yours forever and ever!

Please read this cup all the way through,a very special Easter story at the end of this post.

May you and yours have a blessed Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

On Eater morning in the year 1992 my Dad, Wally Moede, passed away, age 64, at 3am. Dad had just filed his retirement papers. I remember that when Pastor Zeh came to the house to comfort my Mom Easter morning there was an Easter Lilly on the table by the window in the living room….and as Pastor Zeh and Mom talked and the sun rose the Easter Lilly opened up!!!!! That brought great comfort to Mom who had just lost her husband of 49 years.

In 1995 Mom passed on at age 64 also…….of cancer…….Ruth Moede………Bless our Children as Gretchen is doing a fund drive for Breast Cancer in memory of her Grandma Moede.

I just got off the phone with my Sister, Deb Rogers in Reading, Minnesota talking about Dad, Mom…..and Hayden her 16 month old grand-daughter. Brother Dave’s mother-in-law, Bonnie passed away this week. Let us all stay in touch with family .

I will have the extreme blessing this Easter Sunday of giving the opening message at Easter Services at the Los Lunas Church of God. My family has had a great influence on my Easter message at 11am.

The nail-pierced hands of Jesus reveal the love-filled heart of God.

God in human fleshed suffered.

God knows your sorrows.

He was led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth. Isaiah 53:7

Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4

PRAISE GOD………I walk in that newness and left the old Dewey……..

To be “in Christ” is to share in His life, in His death, and in His resurrection.

Lord willing, today on NM News and Views Pastor Vic Tafoya will deliver our Good Friday message like he has the last two years. We love Vic and his lovely wife Barbara. Please listen in at 4:30 today.

I am listening to Adrian Rogers right now. Focus on the Family is replaying an Ester message from him………Hard to believe that Adrian has been gone since 2005.

I know I say this a lot but I think it is so important to be thankful and say so……….I am so grateful for the Ministry programs here on KKIM.

By the way we air Adrian Rogers weekend program at 2pm Sundays on KKIM.

April 3rd is the start of my 5th year as Shepherd of KKIM and on April 15th KKIM turns 38 years young! PRAISE GOD!

I am thankful to the Lord for taking me in all my weaknesses and putting me in the position I am in with my family and works. I am thankful for how the Lord has surrounded me with such Godly people! I am a blessed man.

My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus Acts 20:24

God used Moses and Paul to remind you and me that He transforms “the least of us” like you and me, to be light in darkness.

It has been a very emotional week for me……..I am still processing it all……….praying about it all……..

First the visit I made last weekend to the Albuquerque Rescue Mission., by the way we are still taking socks and shoes at the Radio Ranch 4125 Carlisle during regular Biz hours 8 to 5 Monday thru Friday, In talking and praying with all the folks I met at the Mission…it touched me so………their stories……..their needs……..the look on their faces……..lining up for treasure…….that treasure was shoes and socks and a haircut and foot washing………

Then for a day and a half our Radio-A-Thon for the people of Haiti and Africa…….the stories of starving children……..children being buried alive……….because families cannot feed them. You can still give at www.mykkim.com

Sharon and I and KKIM have become partners with the Albuquerque Rescue Mission and Feeding The Nations. I would encourage you to pray about joining also. www.feedingthenations.org

And then I spent yesterday on NM News and Views with Joseph, whose father was a convict and introduced him to a life of crime……Joseph spent time in prison…but became a Christian and is now on fire for the Lord. What a moving story.

All this has impacted me tremendously….God loves all……..There are no walls for Jesus Church…….no walls at all……if there are….we must break them down.

Let your concerns today be about cultivating a calm and quiet soul as you trust your heavenly father with the profound matters of life.

Let us realize we cannot do anything without God……..we must be in His Will.not ours…..troubles start when we are out of Gods Will…..Let us all walk so close to our Lord to be in His Will……..Let us read His Word each day…….Let us be in constant prayer……constant prayer…..

Sharon wanted to share this story with all of us that she found………

THE “REAL MESSAGE”…
During this Easter weekend (1999), a devoted Christian surfer to my web site sent me the following Easter Egg Story by e-mail. The story was so touching that it had a long list of recipients who had been forwarding it with a request to keep this stirring story circulating.
What was the “Real Message” behind this wonderful story?
Jeremy was born with a twisted body, a slow mind and a chronic, terminal illness that had been slowly killing him all his young life. Still, his parents had tried to give him as normal a life as possible and had sent him to St. Theresa’s elementary school. At the age of 12, Jeremy was only in second grade, seemingly unable to learn.
His teacher, Doris Miller, often became exasperated with him. He would squirm in his seat, drool and make grunting noises. At other times, he spoke clearly and distinctly, as if a spot of light had penetrated the darkness of his brain. Most of the time, however, Jeremy irritated his teacher.
One day, she called his parents and asked them to come to St. Teresa’s for a consultation. As the Foresters sat quietly in the empty classroom, Doris said to them, “Jeremy really belongs in a special school. It isn’t fair to him to be with younger children who don’t have learning problems. Why, there is a five-year gap between his age and that of the other students!” Mrs. Forrester cried softly into a tissue while her husband spoke. “Miss Miller,” he said, “there is no school of that kind nearby. It would be a terrible shock for Jeremy if we had to take him out of this school. We know he really likes it here.”
Doris sat for a long time after they left, staring at the snow outside the window. Its coldness seemed to seep into her soul. She wanted to sympathize with the Foresters. After all, their only child had a terminal illness. But it wasn’t fair to keep him in her class. She had 18 other youngsters to teach and Jeremy was a distraction. Furthermore, he would never learn to read or write. Why spend any more time trying? As she pondered the situation, guilt washed over her. “Oh God,” she said aloud, “here I am complaining when my problems are nothing compared with that poor family! Please help me to be more patient with Jeremy.” From that day on, she tried hard to ignore Jeremy ‘s noises and his blank stares.
Then one day he limped to her desk, dragging his bad leg behind him. “I love you, Miss Miller,” he exclaimed, loudly enough for the whole class to hear. The other children snickered, and Doris’s face turned red. She stammered, “wh-why, that’s very nice, Jeremy. Now please take your seat.”
Spring came, and the children talked excitedly about the coming of Easter. Doris told them the story of Jesus, and then to emphasize the idea of new life springing forth, she gave each of the children a large plastic egg. “Now,” she said to them “I want you to take this home and bring it back tomorrow with something inside that shows new life. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Miss Miller!” The children responded enthusiastically – all except for Jeremy. He just listened intently; his eyes never left her face. He did not even make his usual noises. Had he understood what she had said about Jesus’ death and resurrection? Did he understand the assignment? Perhaps she should call his parents and explain the project to them.
That evening, Doris’ kitchen sink stopped up. She called the landlord and waited an hour for him to come by and unclog it. After that, she still had to shop for groceries, iron a blouse and prepare a vocabulary test for the next day. She completely forgot about phoning Jeremy ‘s parents.
The next morning, 19 children came to school, laughing and talking as they placed their eggs in the large wicker basket on Miss Miller’s desk. After they completed their math lesson, it was time to open the eggs. In the first egg, Doris found a flower. “Oh yes, a flower is certainly a sign of new life,” she said. “When plants peek through the ground we know that spring is here. “A small girl in the first row waved her arms. “That’s my egg, Miss Miller,” she called out. The next egg contained a plastic butterfly, which looked very real. Doris held it up. “We all know that a caterpillar changes and turns into a beautiful butterfly. Yes, that is new life, too” little Judy smiled proudly and said, “Miss Miller, that one is mine.”
Next Doris found a rock with moss on it. She explained that the moss, too, showed life. Billy spoke up from the back of the classroom. “My daddy helped me!” He beamed. Then Doris opened the fourth egg. She gasped. The egg was empty! Surely it must be Jeremy ‘s, she thought, and, of course, he did not understand her instructions. If only she had not forgotten to phone his parents. Because she did not want to embarrass him, she quietly set the egg aside and reached for another.
Suddenly Jeremy spoke up. “Miss Miller, aren’t you going to talk about my egg?” Flustered, Doris replied, “but Jeremy – your egg is empty!” He looked into her eyes and said softly, “yes, but Jesus’ tomb was empty too!” Time stopped. When she could speak again. Doris asked him, “Do you know why the tomb was empty?” “Oh yes!” Jeremy exclaimed. “Jesus was killed and put in there. Then his Father raised him up!” The recess bell rang. While the children excitedly ran out to the school yard, Doris cried. The cold inside her melted completely away.
Three months later Jeremy died. Those who paid their respects at the mortuary were surprised to see 19 eggs on top of his casket, ……………….all of them empty.

For God’s Glory Alone, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

May the Strength and Peace of the Lord be with you and yours!!!

Jesus kept silent and answered nothing. Mark 14:61

Silence can be valuable; don’t break it unless you can improve on it. D. De Haan

May you and yours have a blessed Good Friday and Easter.

This Holy Week we at KKIM/KARS have been having an effort for the poorest of the poor………..It took us a month of preparation in prayer to get ready….

What two days of Ministry we have had at KKIM! The efforts we put forth along with many of our listeners to help Orphans in Haiti and Africa. Tom Lewis and his brother Pastor Robert Lewis came in as the hosts of the event for www.feedingthenations.org
Pastor Jim Montoya, Pastor Leonard Navarre, and Pastor Larry Moss also co-hosted this effort.

The words that came forth for our Lord in this time overwhelmed many……..including me and Sharon. The stories of dying children moved us to cry……..

Children being buried alive because the families have no food……..

The need is growing in Haiti, not decreasing.

Feeding The nations send 94% of each dollar right on the field! Just 6% Administrative costs!!!! That is so AWESOME, and tells you a lot about the organization.

Sharon and I have become partners with Feeding The Nations, I pray that you will to. Go to www.mykkim.com for more info.

Here is a note from Pastor Robert Lewis………

Hey there, Dewey!

I just wanted to thank you again for having us in for the “Feeding the Nations” event! I’ve enjoyed getting to know you!

You have great abilities and talents and I know God is going to bless your efforts! Even though you have an extremely heavy work load, keep your chin up and keep running the race with your eyes set on the prize! You’re a winner!!!

Give Jim, Larry & Leonard my best! They are awesome guys! We appreciated having them there to help & support the efforts!

Your brother in Christ,

Robert Lewis

P.S. Thanks again for the coffee mug! (In my case, it’s a hot chocolate & soup mug! ha ha)

Just a note I prayed before I posted this letter from Robert…….as I am embarrassed by his words…..I am blushing and crying…….but I wanted to post it as a letter of Love..that is what we do here at the CUP share the Love of Christ. Build each other but hold each other accountable. Words of Honey are so AWESOME!

Last night on NM News and Views I told Dr. Larry Crabb how much he has meant to me, in helping me with my walk with Jesus Christ…the words he has written in all his books have been an inspiration to thousands and thousands! He said Dewey you are going to make my cry! I love it!!! Tears of Joy! Tears from the heart and soul! Has America.or the Church forgotten how to cry! By the way Dr. Larry Crabb’s new book, 66 Love letters is AWESOME! www.newwayministries.org PS I told Larry that we have crying in common…I cry at the Grand Opening of a K-Mart! LOL LOL!!!!

I just got this news that around 1800 Catholic school students and 500 volunteers got together yesterday and packed around 285,000 meals for Haiti! They gathered at St. Pius X High School here in Albuquerque. Praise God for their efforts!

Many enjoyed the radio broadcast…. .including Victor:

Thanks again, Dewey! Prayers for you as well in all you do. The KKIM relief effort for Haiti was awesome.

We have been praying that Bonnie Wilson would go home, she is the Mother-In-Law of my brother Dave……..Dave called me yesterday and said that Bonnie went home to be with the Lord yesterday at Noon Minnesota Time. PRAISE GOD!!!! Bonnie had Alzheimer’s for years.and now she is anew in heaven! Please keep Dave and his wife Denise in your prayers.

Also I would like to express our sympathy to the family of Dr. James Dokken of Windom who passed away last week in Windom, Minn. His son Paul is a reader of the CUP.

Also to the family of Molly Johnson of Windom. I grew up near where Molly and Spike Johnson lived in Windom, Minn.

May God be with you all!

KKIM friend Ed told me that pastor Raymond Franks is recovering from heart surgery. Please keep Pastor Ray in your prayers.

Please keep Nate Hickman in your prayers.

Victor also has this prayer need………..

Hi everyone. Our entire family has been hit hard with various and continuous sicknesses the last 5 weeks or so. I know the same is true for many of you. I would like to request prayer again from you. Antonio was diagnosed with pink eye yesterday. Today he got a fever of 105 and then we found out he has Strep throat now as well…which he also had about 3 weeks ago. Incredible. Please pray for full healing of him and also that he doesn’t infect anyone else, especially Baby Andres or Isabella.

As some of you know, I threw out my back on Saturday. Thank you for your prayers for that. I was almost feeling back to normal yesterday and then reinjured it somehow last night. I was in pain throughout the night and could hardly bend in any direction today. Very discouraging. Lots of prayer has already gone up for this and I humbly ask for more.

Lastly, please pray for Pamela as she has had to bear most of the burden and has done so much for all of us. She’s done this with very interrupted sleep, as well.

Thank you all so much and God bless you!

Victor

We are praying Victor!

Here is an update from John Robb………..

Dear Friends,
Thanks for your prayers for the Mexico prayer initiative last week. My IPC colleague and I had a brief but potent time praying with some government officials and pastors during our two- day visit. It was a passionate and authoritative time of praying for the Lord’s deliverance of the land from the grip of the narco-traffickers who are in reality waging war against the whole society to carry on their illicit trade. They themselves are gripped and motivated by the powers of darkness and death.

The news reached us that the “King of Heroin”, Jose Antonio Medina, 39, was arrested in the western state of Michoacan on Wednesday, March 24th, the day after the prayer initiative. He was arrested along with some Colombians who were the link between the Colombian and Mexican drug cartels. Praise God! This is the first fruits of the united prayer effort with those in Mexico. Your prayers helped make this possible! The Lord is answering and will bring an end to these criminal rings as we continue to pray, so let’s do so, believing Him to finish the job!
Please continue to pray with us for Mexico for the following:
The protection and empowering of all in the government, army and police who are working to break up the drug cartels and bring their members to justice. Pray for effective, wise strategies so that the evil and ruthless drug lords and their minions will be uncovered and defeated and the flow of drugs into the United States will be interdicted and destroyed.

God’s guidance and empowering of the Christians in the government and those pastors and prayer leaders who are involved in the spiritual struggle with the principalities and powers, that they will be strong and victorious, knowing how to pray and mobilize intercessors across the country to do the same. Pray for their physical and spiritual protection from any backlash of the devil.

World Prayer Assembly- Please also be in prayer for the planning of the World Prayer Assembly to be held in mid-2012 in Jakarta. Up to 3000 church, prayer and marketplace leaders along with youth and children from possibly 200 countries will gather to share, celebrate and learn from what God has been doing through the prayer movement and also to strategize and coordinate efforts for the future. In preparation for the WPA, a select group of Indonesian, Korean and IPC colleagues will gather in that city of Indonesia, April 14-17 to discuss and pray for the WPA, planning how we can work together to make this happen. In the hands of the Lord, it could be a “new wave” for the global prayer movement, serving as a major stepping stone to the fulfillment of Habakkuk 2:14- “that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”

In our humble opinion, the WPA is one of the most strategic things for the work of Christ on the planet. Therefore, may we ask you to please pray with us for:
1) the vision-sharing and planning meetings, April 15-16, that they will result in the formation of a strong international steering committee along with wide support from the Indonesian and Korean churches and marketplace leadership.

2) for His unity and clarity for all of us about how to proceed so we can work practically and joyfully together to arrange such a huge and challenging event.

3) that this time of working, praying and sharing together will be greatly anointed and blessed by the Lord, resulting in strong, loving relationships among us.

4) that the large amount of finance needed for the WPA will begin to flow now.

4) for our two main Indonesian colleagues, Daniel and Iman, for God’s protection and guidance as they pull things together there, and for the Korean and IPC brothers and sisters who will journey from afar to take part.

Thanks so much for your help in prayer for these two very crucial prayer concerns. Your support in this way will undoubtedly be used by the Lord to change history!

Warmest greetings in Christ,
John Robb
