Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

Good Day to you!!!

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

Communion with God is as indispensable as breathing!

God’s Word is like fuel for prayer!

Here’s a good one for you…I couldn’t agree more.as I talked with Ed Moore of WFRN radio, www.wfrn.com yesterday………

“Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.” H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Did I just call Ed an Antique?

It is COLD!!! Pastor Mark Scales Tweeted last night, “Winter is here!”

Santa Fe area could see snow tomorrow! The Duke City could see snow showers.

I am sadden by the lack of good media coverage of the state’s budget issues!

I’m waiting for Jan of the Methodist Church in Los Alamos to email me two AWESOME write up’s on serving the Lord and His people. One is by Pastor David Ring. I hope to get them soon so we can post them, excellent messages! Jan does a great job with the Church’s newspaper! I wish more Church’s had a monthly newspaper or newsletter, especially for the folks who are shut-in!

Please make sure and pray over our prayer needs today, they are below.

Yesterday I shared with you on John 14 and discernment. Discernment came up in our interview with State Rep. Janice E Arnold Jones yesterday on NM News and Views. The Lord has moved me to share this once again…….

“the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

John 14:17

To know the Truth is to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

In verse 16 it says……”And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever——–the Spirit of Truth

The Lord covers you with the Truth…..stay close to Jesus and you will know the Truth.

When we walk with the Lord he also gives us discernment. Discernment is lacking so much in our society today…….

As pastor Mark Tross said last night we should not be surprised with the problems in our government because many have the lack of discernment, as they do not walk with Jesus.

This is how important the Great Commission is!

When we walk with Jesus he gives us many things, and one of those is discernment. It is badly needed. Jesus also gives us the spirit to blush…….this country has forgotten how to. My dad still blushed right up until the day he died. I don’t think many of our younger people even know what the word means because it has been lost in today’s society. Has America also lost the ability to weep?

Dearest Dewey,

My wonderful sister Mary (a young 51), who I wrote you about last week regarding the immense pain she has been in, has had her surgery moved up and is scheduled to have a hip replacement tomorrow morning (Tuesday, 10a). She’s a gifted OR Nurse and knows what to expect, but is still, understandably scared. Please ask you daily readers to lift her up in prayer ~ pray that her doctors and nurses be guided by our precious Lord and that her surgery is a complete success and she is restored to perfect physical health. Please also pray that her daughter, Taylour, who is expecting her third baby any moment has a safe labor and a healthy little girl (who hopefully waits until grandma is out of the hospital to make her debut)!

The power of prayer is so very awesome and I know that you have so many believers who read your Cup each day. I thank each of them in advance for praying for my sister, niece and soon-to-be great-niece ~ their compassion and kindness is appreciated more than I am able to express.

You’re a light in a dark world Mr. Moede…

God bless,

Taunya

We are praying Taunya. Please keep us posted.

Would you also pray for me and Pastor Jim Montoya, and others that surround us, as we get ready to launch Dewey’s Daily Cup and the Los Lunas Church of God TV program on Ch 32 Kazq. We are sort of ready! LOL! LOL! I have been dragging my feet on this the last 2 weeks and then Pastor Tross emails me and ask’s, “Are we doing the show this week?” Well I just didn’t know for various reasons, money, time etc…….Then I went to sleep and then was awaken by the Spirit, What do you mean you don’t have the money ore the time?…..You should not worry……You need to do this, I will take care of your energy, time and resources……Okay so here we go……Please keep this in your prayers and I will keep you informed!!

Praise Note: Got a special gift in the mail! Haley Bates, mailed me a fall decoration, it hang’s on my door knob and it is a fall scene of pumpkins and brining Jesus into Halloween! I love children. They lower my blood pressure!

Praise Note: Got a call from Jim Levy of Focus on the Family yesterday. Jim was doing a check up on stations. He was really pleased in the Lord with the KKIM radio Ministry. He was really impressed with the www.mykkim.com web site!

This past weekend there was a wonderful opportunity in the Lord for Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals to get together. Both Congressman Bill Redmond and Attorney David Standridge (Both spoke at the event) sadly told me the turn out was low. Below Bill gives us a run down of the days events……

The Celebrate Life, Family & Marriage Conference Sponsored by Project Defending Life, Legacy Church, Catholic Coalition of New Mexico and the Center for New Mexico Policy was held last Saturday at Legacy Church. The conference featured national and local speakers. Among them were Joe Scheidler who pioneered sidewalk counseling outside abortion clinics in Chicago. Many young men and women alive today being blessed with their own families are the heritage of Mr. Scheidler’s work in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Congressman Redmond credits Mr. Scheidler as a pro-life hero who inspired him more than two decades ago. Also featured at the conference was Dr. Scott Lively, founder of Defend the Family and Redemption Gate Mission Society. Dr. Lively is the author of Redeeming the Rainbow and the Pink Swastika. Dr. Lively is on the top five “Most Dangerous” list by national homosexual and lesbian organizations. The audience at the conference was shocked and surprised as Dr. Lively unfolded the history of German homosexuals who founded the Nazi Party prior to Adolf Hitler. The expose highlighted the homosexual roots of German Fascism with warnings to America of ever increasing influence of homosexuals in American government, educational and commercial domains. These German Fascists were the first to establish national homosexual organizations in the United States. Other notable speakers include, Dr. Tony Levatino-former abortionist, Stephanie Block-LosPequenos reporter who exposed Alinsky (ACORN) organizing within Christian churches, and Martha Beasley-Silent No More/Project Rachel who spoke on healing from abortion.

Local speakers included Dauneen Dolce with New Mexico Right to Life, Pastor Steve Smothermon of Legacy Church, Attorney David Standridge,Fr. Steven Imbarato of Project Defending Life, Pastor Mike Naranjo of The Rock Christian Outreach. Fr. Terry Brennen and former Congressman Bill Redmond shared a session together stressing the importance of individual Christian involvement in the political process. Many thanks to Mr. Phil Sevilla and Pastor Steve Smothermon for their vision and hard work to make the conference a reality. For information of future conferences subscribe to projectdefendinglife.org and Action Alerts at TVACNM.com.

Many Pastor’s and Church leaders told me that they did not know of the event until it was too late. They already had scheduled events. So I think there would have been more, with more notice. Many people put a lot of work into this event and it always saddens me when the attendance is low, Let us pray that next time the word get’s out early!

Let us pray……………

Lord, Teach us all this mysterious union between You and the Holy Spirit. May the Spirit so work in us that we all will know Your presence in everything….everything…..everything…. we do. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

Drop us a line we would love to hear from you!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

State Rep. Janice E Arnold Jones gives us her take on the just completed New Mexico Legislative Special Session………

Dewey:

Special Session at best a band aid at worst a failure to act. We approved a budget bill HB17/33 that made across the board cuts in many agencies, but limited State Police cuts to 2% will directing the Governor to first cut 80 (revised to 102 by Senate) exempt positions and benefits. Very troubling was the reduction in Developmental Disability Waivers, about 4 million, but all the dollars were replaced with federal dollars that will run out at the end of 2010. Now what?

We swept all cash balances available, a prudent move, as long as you recognize that any emergency in an agency will now require Board of Finance action.

We “swapped” capital projects funded with General Fund dollars to be replaced with Severance Tax Bonds. This may be a problem as most of the projects are under way. If the Governor signs this bill, I believe all projects will come to a stop until the Bonds can be sold in December. You could look at this move as taking a second mortgage. Sometimes necessary. Incidentally, the reason some capital projects were funded with General Fund dollars was because we had cash. The more common way to fund such projects is with Bonds. Also, the projects involved in this “swap” must meet the criteria for bonds. Projects involving non-profit agencies, even though it is via an RFP through a local government, may not qualify for bonds.

We took $225 million from the operating reserve to pay for the overspending in 2009. We took $115 million from the Tax Stabilization fund (restricted reserve) to pay for shortfalls in 2010.

One of the problems we had in the session was to determine exactly how “overspent” we were for fiscal year 2009 that is already over. We we given figures that ranged from a low of $208 million to a high of $325 million. I hope that the $225 million covers it!

Dewey, a budget is a projection. We projected that the 2010 budget could be $5.4 billion. Well revenues are not keeping up. Four months into the year it is clear that the State will not meet that revenue projections. Most households would immediately change their spending habits so they could save up enough to get rid of the second mortgage quickly. We did not accomplish that step in our solvency plan.

PS: We were called into special session because it was an emergency. If the Governor takes the full 20 days to act, that will be the middle of November. If we can wait three weeks to solve this emergency might we have waited nine weeks for the regular session to do the job right?

Special session was very poorly planned. You would think that the Governor would have already listened to State employees to see where there were problems and potential cost savings. Very much like attending a High School Prom, except the Prom committee had only secured the location, but was still working on getting the band, decorations and food as everyone was arriving. All events, especially deliberative type events, require sufficient planning and organization to be successful.

I have to say…Janice is very astute when it comes to money management!!! I am so thankful for our relationship with Janice. It really helps in our attempt to bring forth the truth.

Governor Bill Richardson Asks Public for Input on Legislative Budget Cuts

SANTA FE – Governor Bill Richardson is asking New Mexicans to contact his office with their opinions about the budget bills passed last week by the Legislature.

While the Legislature made minimal cuts to education, legislators targeted state agencies under the control of the Governor for the most drastic cuts. That means critical services will be cut. For example, while legislators claimed to have protected Medicaid funding, critical programs such as behavioral health care, children’s healthcare and programs for the elderly were not spared.

The Governor has 20 days to sign, veto or partially veto the budget bills.

New Mexicans can contact the Governor’s Office with their thoughts about the budget bills by email: Special.session@state.nm.us or by phone: 505-476-2210

Dear KKIM Family,

A special hello this morning to Eric, Chris, Claudia, and Dustin……KKIM listeners who where in Church yesterday at Los Lunas Church of God where I preached! It was an AWESOME day in the Lord!

I am asked how do you know you are telling the truth when you deliver the news or are commenting on events of the day……..

I preached on this yesterday………..

“the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

John 14:17

To know the Truth is to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

When I see what is going on at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe and in Washington……..it is for a lack of a relationship with Jesus Christ. A lack of common sense. A lack of discernment.

They can talk all they want about Ethics reform, Health care reform..but until hearts are changed we will get more of the same.

If our failure to speak out against wickedness can in any way be interpreted as approval of the practice, then we are guilty as well. Look around—–is there sin surrounding you to which you have grown accustomed? Are you willing to take a stand regardless of the cost?

Sandy Grove of Windom, Minn sent this in………….saying, “Isn’t this what you have been talking about???………..

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl, Shelby.. She wanted to know what the United States looked like. Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby and said, ‘Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our whole country today..’

After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together… The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. ‘Oh,’ she said, ‘on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together..’

This one is worthy forwarding.

OVER AND OVER

AMEN!!!!

Sooo……… when we get Jesus back where he Belongs–

our country will come together.

AMEN SANDY!!! AMEN SANDY!!!

And the Church coming together! We saw that this weekend with two great events in Albuquerque that brought Catholics, Protestants, and Evangelicals together! PRAISE GOD!

I got this asked of me yesterday, and this comes up more often than not……..

I want to go into Ministry!Is the Lord in this? Where is your wife in this? Are you together in this? Whenever we get the urge to step out on an adventure make sure the Lord is in it…….Make sure you and your wife or husband are together…….pray and seek counsel from Godly men and women.

Let us check the mailbag……..

This from the Gov’s Office……..

Lord willing we will be getting more information on what went on at the Special Session later today from State Rep’s Janice E Arnold Jones and Nora Espinoza. Janice told me on Saturday that the State Government could be shut down in 3 wks depending on what happens with the bill the House and Senate sent to the Gov. Nora said it is one big mess! Janice and Nora are tired I am sure from the Special Session…..remember New Mexico, this is a Volunteer Legislature….non-paid. I believe there are 212 members of the House and Senate, all Volunteers. Please pray for them.

Here is what is going on in Maine, where Angel Murchison lives. Angel’s program, “Destiny Moments” is heard Fridays at 2:30pm on KKIM.

On Nov. 3, Maine voters will become the first in any state with the chance to repeal or uphold a law passed by their Legislature and signed by their governor, legalizing same-sex marriage. We are praying and believing that the Lord and his people will not allow this to pass. Lou Engle is here in Maine this weekend holding prayer meetings throughout the state in regards to this issue. We covet your prayers as well. We must stand for truth. Love the sinner, but hate the sin. Lord show yourself strong here in Maine.

Have a blessed day Dewey. Praying for you, KKIM and your families.

Angel

Dewey,

I wanted to respond to this. I have great respect for Mr. Clymer’s commitment to Christ. To stand for what you believe in these days is becoming far too rare. But I can’t help but think that we are in the world but not of it. We are here to be salt and light in a dark world. Would it not be better for if Mr. Clymer stayed in his position and continued to exert his Christian influence as President of a large corporation such as Holiday Inn. To put it another way, would our great state representatives, Janice E Arnold Jones and Nora Espinoza be better servants of Christ if the resigned when an ungodly law was passed? We need good people there to represent us.

I think we need Christians to be salt and light in this world. Sometimes our place might be difficult to be in, but God puts us there for His purpose, not ours.

Dustin

Dear Dewey, Sharon and family, Gods Peace’

“Godly men and women cannot be content in the presence of wickedness”. I could see how some would read that and take it as a suggestion or a holy order. But Dewey, it is not either. It is a fact. It just IS.

Godly men and women know in their hearts when wickedness is dwelling near them. Our second sense as some would call it, I call it the Holy Spirit, makes us uneasy/un content. It is automatic. Not a desire. I am reminded of that daily. I see it everywhere. But know, because the holy book has instructed, that it will not be this way long. It seems as though the end times are coming soon. We can look up and be thankful for that.

Sincerely, sam

Let us pray……………

Lord, Thank You for Your Word and for the role it has in our prayer life. Help us to apply in prayer what we learn from it. In Jesus name, AMEN!!!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
