Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

How about a quick noon time CUP……….

Let your concerns today be about cultivating a calm and quiet soul as you trust your Heavenly Father with the “profound” matters of life. David Jeremiah

From a Church Marquee: Christmas is the story that can rewrite yours! From the Ambassador Team

and this………

Oral Roberts passed away yesterday and he was appreciated by many who loved his gift for preaching the word…….My Uncle Joe has always told me that God will give you the words to speak..here is what Oral Roberts had to say…….

He credited his oratorical skills to his faith, saying: “I become anointed with God’s word, and the spirit of the Lord builds up in me like a coiled spring. By the time I’m ready to go on, my mind is razor-sharp. I know exactly what I’m going to say and I’m feeling like a lion.”

Love that energy for God!

To finish up our quick CUP Pastor Leonard wanted to share this………..

Dear KKIM family,

I consider it a HUGE blessing to be able to share with you each day from the CUP!

I also consider it such a HUGE blessing when others share from their heart!

I just got done emptying my heart out in a newspaper column for the Windom Newspaper www.windomnews.com

I just pray it is good enough for Dave, Rahn and Folks. I consider it such a blessing to be able to share in their Pastor’s column. My first venture into newspaper! Dave and Rahn have been so patient with me…. as being an old radio guy…..sometimes I don’t know when to stop talking or writing!

It just hit me…..I don’t know if Dave or Rahn will remember this..but my Dad used to write Sports for the Citizen back in the 60’s. So thank you Dave and Rahn for this Christmas present.the opportunity to give back to my hometown and follow in the footsteps of my Dad and Mom.

I continue to be blown away by the blessing of the LORD!!!

It’s like I see EXPLOSIONS OF BLESSINGS happening all over! WOW!

I am just trying not do anything stupid……came close yesterday!

Here is another blessing.from Karen Rowe……as she goes about her days…..she shares this with us……How many of you can relate to Karen and what she is going through?

Dewey, If you sense that this will encourage someone, please post this. God is so good to us and quite frankly, this world is hard to live in sometimes. We need to know that we are not alone in our struggles! So I share in mine. I just thank God that I know HIM well enough to patiently endure and that I trust HIM enough to obey! CUZ I know how beautiful life can be when we just trust and obey! So I share hoping to encourage someone to read the Bible, talk to God and allow Jesus to shine God’s light on the very things that we can’t see that hinder our ability to live the VERY life that Jesus died to give us!

Last night I told my husband that God never tires of fixing us, BUT I DO. So once again, God is teaching me about me and what I need to improve on IN me…This time I feel like a tube of toothpaste being squeezed almost empty…to me not sure that last little bit in the tube is worth bothering, BUT apparently God wants a pure heart in all areas…

I share because it’s tough and we all go through these things. When we feel like we are spiritually/emotionally/physically struggling…remember Jesus…”remain in me and I will remain in you” by remaining in LOVE we are remaining in Jesus…”Patient, Kind, NOT envy or boast, or proud or rude or self-seeking…it is not easily angered…it keeps no record of wrongs. …does not delight in evil but REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. It always protects, trusts hopes and always perseveres. And when we remain in ALL OF these qualifications…LOVE never fails!

Perhaps someone is feeling distance to God…kind of like I experienced yesterday??? God hadn’t gone anywhere…I had something that I was allowing to grow in my heart that was creating distance between me and God. Last night, I ran through the qualifications that meet God’s standard of love and with one particular person, I fell short on a few of them. So now I need to deal with allowing Jesus to perfect my heart because alone we are powerless against things that come against us…BUT with Christ, I can remember that I CAN do all things through Christ who gives me strength and wisdom! I can be better! I can change!

Have a blessed day…may it be good and if not; may we experience the day with God’s grace!

Love In Christ,
Karen Rowe

PS…I feel God’s Spirit grow in me just by admitting this defect in my heart. When we admit that we have an issue, that admission opens the door for God.
When we try to run from or hide an issue, that opens the door for Satan! Satan will encourage the very thing that keeps us down…with half truths…we may be justified, but not the judge;
Satan may even convince us that we have truly forgiven, but in looking deep down…Are we keeping a record of wrongs toward another? We may think that we are not proud, but is pride standing in the way of opening our heart…?

God is not only great…God is good!

Let us pray…….

Lord, Thank you for all those who open up for YOU! Who share You with others! Let us be bold in our faith! In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family…………..

When you take a breath and exhale in sobs, fall against the chest of Jesus. He will hold you up till you can breathe again. Pastor John Piper

God will give you the insight to handle vast and perplexing problems. Chuck Swindoll

WOW! WOW! HOW POWERFUL PRAYER IS!!!

We received so many prayers right back to Sharon and I when we prayed………

Lord, We pray for an immediate outpouring of Your Holy Spirit………..

Sharon and I were blessed so much from those of you that emailed back quickly praying for us and everyone here at the CUP and KKIM! let us continue to pray for each other and our families! An amazing response. You are all so prayerful!

The day was an amazing day at KKIM…..So many powerful messages were delivered…Ben Lucero President and Owner of Indigo Mortgage shared his testimony on Dewey’s Daily Cup, one of the most powerful testimonies I have ever heard! We will play that again sometime, Lord willing.

It is such an AWESOME blessing to have a Radio Ministry where the Word of God can move………

By the way Ben heard from many of you after the program by email and phone. www.indigomortgage.net

Lord, We pray for an immediate outpouring of Your Holy Spirit……….

Then Sandy emails me this………an update on Nancy………

Dewey,
Anyone who doesn’t believe in miracles, stop reading right now! Nancy WALKED today, with help, yes, but was able to get out of bed, sit in a wheelchair, walk down the hall, and go to the bathroom. The squeeze from her left hand almost crushed my fingers. Her stitches were removed and her swelling is gone. Her catheter was also removed.
She is beginning to look like the old Nancy, sound like the old Nancy, and yes, act like the old Nancy. She was taken to inpatient rehab this afternoon and is raring to start the recovery process tomorrow. Her enthusiasm and determination are inspiring.
God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for this miracle – thanks to all your prayers! You made it happen.
Sandy Harrington
Let us continue to pray……..
Let us continue to pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
It takes people like Ben to share their testimony to move others
closer to the Lord.
Now let us hear from John Robb of the International Prayer Council………..
“God delights to respond to daring prayer. He encourages us to ask as freely for the impossible as for the possible, since to Him all difficulties are the same size- less than Himself.” – J.O. Sanders
“No one accomplishes so much in so little time as when he or she is praying… If only one believer with total faith rises up, the history of the world will be changed.” – A.E. McAdam

Dear Friends,
Jesus urged his disciples not to allow themselves to be deceived by false appearances. He told us to be alert and watchful in prayer. Both globally and nationally, major things are happening that could result in a move towards tyranny and oppression. We need to be awake and discerning because the prince of this world ceaselessly is trying to advance his dark agenda to deceive and destroy human beings, made in the image of God. Theologian Walter Wink, who made an extensive study of the principalities and powers in his trilogy, came to the conclusion that the nature of the demonic is getting human life under its control. He coined the phrase “domination system” to describe how spiritual evil can work through ideological and political means to enslave people with false thinking and wrong actions that ultimately prove to be destructive to human life and wellbeing. The “isms” of the last century are proof positive that this can happen.

The current Copenhagen climate change congress which continues this week could also become a case in point. In spite of tens of thousands of scientists who question the factual basis of global warming and its harm of the planet, representatives of almost 200 nations are right now trying to agree on a global treaty to regulate greenhouse emissions. Some who know far more about this than I have warned that such a treaty, if it is agreed on, will undermine national sovereignty and take us towards world government, clothed in the altruistic guise of “saving Earth”. Protecting the environment is one thing we can all endorse, but a tyrannical concentration of power in the hands of faceless international bureaucrats that destroys fundamental human freedoms is another thing. Let’s pray for wisdom, uprightness, honesty and that no deceptive and destructive agreements will be adopted.

In the United States, the acrimonious debate over healthcare has some of the same features. We as Christians need to look behind Democrat or Republican labels and discern what is happening. Genuine reform which truly improves the delivery and quality of medical care is something everyone should endorse, but the concentration of greater power in the hands of the government along with the reckless ballooning of an already astronomical national deficit is something we should pray will not happen. Let’s pray for the US Congress and Obama administration to do what is right for the American people, not turn this country into a socialist bureaucracy that dominates our lives from cradle to the grave.

A final prayer concern is one that I have written to you about repeatedly. Please keep the ongoing conflict of Pakistan and Afghanistan with the Taliban militants in your prayers. This is a war that we and our allies cannot afford to lose, or the whole world will be deeply affected for evil, not for good. Pray for wisdom and effective strategy on the part of the Pakistani and NATO commanders and for victory after victory until the Taliban themselves lose confidence in their cause, give up their weapons and go back to their families. May many of them encounter Jesus Christ and become avid followers of Him as has happened with other jihadists elsewhere.

Thanks for your partnership in prayer this past year. It is amazing how quickly the seasons turn as we age and now it is Christmas again and the time to share this season’s greetings with you. My family and I are grateful to the Lord for another year of life with both its ups and downs. Based on many past experiences, we are convinced that He will be faithful even in those times when we doubt and fear, especially in the midst of the severe crisis of confidence in which our nation and many other nations are passing. Economically, politically, culturally and even spiritually- things seem to be in worrying decline in so many places. The Christmas story reassuringly reminds us that God is vitally interested in this planet and will not abandon us to our own wrong-headed, often doomed attempts to save ourselves. Because of Christ’s birth and presence with those who open their hearts to Him, isn’t it great that we can be hopeful no matter how bleak things look for our world? “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope…” (Romans 15:13). This is a good word for us at Christmas 2009!

We send our love, greetings and prayers that you will be blessed and encouraged during this Christmas season and throughout the coming year.

Warmly,
John (and Lori) Robb

Thank you John………

Let us pray……

Lord, in Your Word David pens……How precious it is Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly! I can’t even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me. And when I awaken in the morning, You are still thinking of me!Lord we pray for an immediate outpouring of Your Holy Spirit……. We PRAISE YOU OH, LORD……we give You thanks! In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
