Dewey's Daily Cup

Good Morning KKIM Family,

May The Peace of the Lord be with You and Yours!

Thanks for the many emails on our new logo! Janetta thanks you so much! he new web site will be up soon. We will be able to save old postings, take polls, take prayer requests….etc……..PRAISE GOD!!!!

It is such a blessing to be here with you all today!
Yesterday I attended a seminar titled, “Walking the Self-Responsibility Path: Skills for thriving in a Chaotic Economy” It was put on by Shauna Rampley of Soaring Eagle Institute. As usual Shauna did an excellent job.

What impacted me the most is when she outlined the characteristics of, Over-Responsibility, Self Responsibility, and Under-Responsibility folks.

Self-Responsibility of course is the place to be centered in.

If I had to choose a title for the seminar it would say it is “Walking the Self-Responsibility path of Life”

If you would like more information on this seminar for you and your Church or business contact Shauna at 255-9782 or www.SoaringEagleInstitute.com

Self-responsibility is a HUGE key in our lives………..our families, our work place, our Ministries…..etc…….

Here are a couple of quotes that Shauna shared with us from Eleanor Roosevelt………..

“In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make our ultimately our own responsibility.”

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

If you have been reading the Cup for long you know I love quotes..they make me think………..here is one more………..

From Samuel Johnson

“Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind.”

Also as Shauna said yesterday, “Life, should be a life filled with learning” Shauna has been a mentor of mine for years……….so I would check her web site out and give her a call!!! She is not expensive at all! She is such a dear friend of KKIM!!!

The lack of Self-Responsibility in America is one of the reasons we are where we are at! This is a HUGE issue.

Here is our FOUNDATION OF THE DAY:

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom also we have access by faith into this peace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
and perseverance, character; and character hope.
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Romans 5: 1-5

Here is Pastor Jesse……..

James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” When we come to realize that life is about relationship with God, we will get the most out of life. If we start to think that life is merely about doing things for God rather than enjoying God Who does His work in and through us, we will lose our joy and our first love (Revelation 2:4). Life to the full is knowing God (John 17:3). Eternal life and the abundant life (John 10:10) are found in cultivating a personal relationship with a personal God through Jesus Christ. This is what our heart longs for, and if we start replacing God with activities for God or any other idol, we will lose our joy and wonder why God feels so distant. The beauty of an intimate walk with God is that we can know His will (1 Corinthians 2:16), we can have our joy made full (John 15:11), and we can expect our prayers to be answered (John 15:7).

Its about relationship and not about “outer riches and inner poverty.” Eckhart Tolle, author of A New Earth, rightly alleges that, “The absurd overvaluation of fame is just one of the many manifestations of egoist madness in our world.” He also provides some telling commentary about the dangers of grounding identity in the external roles of society. Further, his writings are seasoned with sensible advice, such as, “It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living,” or, “If you delve into the past, it will become a bottomless pit: there is always more.”

The Bible assures us there is rest, security, and certainty when we are near to the heart of God. But we must take the time to spend time with God to listen to Him, learn from Him, and love Him. Remember if you seek Him and His kingdom and Righteousness, He will make available the provisions that He knows you need!

Let’s remember to pray for each other!

Here is another FOUNDATION I would like to share with you………

As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’S love is with those who fear HIM, and HIS righteousness with their children’s children. Psalm 103: 15-17

What are you doing with your days and hours?

A couple of things from DJ magazine……….

This is HUGE………

Nearly half of U.S. Christians today……….yes HALF…….report that the local church is a minimal part of their lives. Survey done by Zondervan and Christianity Today International

Think Your non-Christian Friends are not interested in hearing about your faith???………..Think again………….

Here is what a survey of non-churchgoing respondents aged 30 and above showed……….

75% would be willing to listen to someone talk about their Christian beliefs

78% would enjoy an honest conversation with a friend about religious beliefs

ONLY 28% think the Christians they know talk to them too much about their beliefs

This survey was done by www.lifewayresearch.com

Here is a reminder from KKIM’s Grant Kuck………

On Friday the first of August, FKKIM is sponsoring a very special prayer meeting at Heights Christian Church in Albuquerque. It’s an opportunity to gather together to pray for our

servicemen and women, all over the world. The church is located on the corner of Comanche and Louisiana in the NE Heights and the service will begin at 7 in the evening. For more information about the prayer meeting call 881-9889 before 3:00 in the afternoon. That’s 881-9889.

Here is Karen Rowe………..

Good Morning to all and Praise the LORD! This it the day the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!! As I say that I also keep those in my prayers that are in a difficult struggle, but still encourage us all in the LORD, for HE is good. May HE bring strength, comfort, grace and healing to those who are fighting battles today.

I woke at 3:30 this morning with “God is like a Treasure Chest and Jesus has the key” on my mind. I did not get up that early to write, but it stayed on my mind. So to share in the Word of God together, it is my privilege to write to you today. May we all have a blessed, protected and comforted day in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Love, Karen Rowe

God is like a Treasure Chest. He is filled with gifts and HE asks us to receive those gifts freely with thanksgiving and HE tells us that Jesus has the key. “Ask and it is given” God hasn’t locked up those gifts in the Treasure Chest to keep them away from us; Instead, He stores them carefully for us, so that they are pure and untainted when we are ready to accept them…Jesus is the truth, the way and the light.

I write this today for those who know Christ and for those who do not. I dedicate this to those who are still seeking something in their life and do not know Christ, but it is also a reminder to all of us that we must make choices every day to receive God’s gifts and promises.

If we could think about God’s gifts to us as being in a Treasure Chest, visually we can see that we need to accept the key from Jesus to open the Chest. Also, we can see that we must make a choice to accept the gift and actually receive the gift…we must make choices to accept and receive all that God offers us.

We can be confident, that God, as our Father, freely gives all that we need daily. God is available 24/7 and there is no charge. God asks nothing but the best for us and HE gives us nothing but the best. It is all about trusting the realness in what God offers and that these gifts are REALLY MEANT for US, everyone who will receive … HIS love, understanding, mercy, and forgiveness;

HE offers us His very Grace and the gift of eternal life with HIM! These gifts are already given; God is just waiting on us to accept them.

He gave us a choice of life or death. What hinders some from choosing life quickly? What is in the fear of accepting the love of God through Jesus? Or is it more of just not feeling worthy?

Here’s the thing, we were not worthy and we are not worthy by our own merit, but

We are made worthy to God because of the act of purity that Jesus did for us in THE sacrifice that covers all sin.

God loves us that much that HE sent HIS only Son to die for us. And Jesus did it! That is a miracle done for us!!! It’s God’s way and we don’t have to understand the power in blood to God, we just need to accept that there is power in the blood, because it was God’s plan of redemption for us and from sin.

I accept God’s love easier than I accept material gifts. Follow me here…

I was blessed in growing up with loving parents, who always made me feel worthy of being loved and I am very blessed by that. Stay with me…

However, not every one has experienced unconditional love. For someone who doesn’t know that type of unconditional love in a parent, I want to tell you that it is real and that realness is in God, who is your Father and HE does love you unconditionally!

Now on a different note, I do have trouble accepting material gifts. I grew up where money came from hard work; very hard work for not a lot of money. I know people that work hard and sometimes struggle in a tight budget and I don’t feel right accepting a gift that may make their life harder in my mind…

On some level, I compare it to not feeling worthy of accepting something that I view as better spent on their self or another. I would much rather give than to receive, but recently my husband told me that I need to “learn to accept gifts because it makes others feel blessed in the giving”.

That is something to think about and it is true. My focus today really is on learning how to accept the gifts of God freely. It pleases HIM. The gift is already bought and paid for by the blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We must receive that gift! Then we must say Thank You. After that, life is just a walk with Christ.

And that gift is for everyone… who will receive it!!! GOD is that BIG!!!

Simple, with Christ in our life, He makes everything brighter and more manageable. He compliments our life to a fullness that fills ‘an already empty space’ in our heart and life. We will still face struggles, but we will NOT face them alone; we can face them with the strength of Christ with us and in us…we choose to accept and receive God’s help.

The gift of forgiveness may be the hardest for some to accept. To fully walk in the peace of God, forgiveness must be accepted by us, and given from us toward others, just as God forgives us. Otherwise, it is baggage to dwell on that causes stress in our own life… Unforgiveness, allows the thing that is not forgiven to keep working in our life.

Let Christ work in your life instead!!! Let Him just rain down on you!

The thought that came to my mind just now… after a night rain there is a glorious feel in the morning air and in the morning light. Everything appears different. I even see my largest and most prized Crepe Myrtle saturated and stretched out from the rain last night. The Glory of God is everywhere!

The glory of God is so great… that our life in Christ is new like that morning light and our Spirit is like that morning air. And in that stretched Crepe Myrtle, is like our humbleness to accept the rain of Jesus in our life.

In the dark of the night, we got that wonderful thunderstorm and heavy rain which washed the dirt away… Christ washes our sin away.

That rain knocked dead branches out of the trees… Christ can knock those ‘unforgiveness, and guilt limbs off of us,

If we accept by Faith and by Jesus’ merit …choose to do our part, trust and let go.

Old, ugly blooms fell down to the ground, just as sometimes we can hold on to bad things from our past,

And the beautiful white blooms became more radiant, as in giving praise to God…as even more new blooms are waiting to burst out!

That is what Christ can do in our life!!!

Christ puts light in our life that casts out the dark and gloomy places and we are changed because of HIM!! HE makes us fresh and new!!! Jesus brings peace and joy after the storm, and even in the storm!

Psalm 148:5 “Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were created.”

Just as the sun showed itself for only a moment through the remaining clouds this morning, God was there and in my heart I just knew that He is strong and forever faithful.

As the day is dawning, I write this with compassion for those who do not know Jesus. It is Jesus who brings us close to God and it is only by Jesus that we are forgiven and accepted by God.

I leave you with this thought, Jesus already did the hard part, and HE died for our sins. He did it because HE loves you so much and you are that important to HIM!!! None of us are perfect and we all make mistakes. You don’t have to “feel worthy” to accept HIS gift; you are already made worthy by the blood that Jesus shed on the cross.

We only need to bring Glory to God by saying thank you for the gift of Jesus; Thank you for those gifts “in the Treasure Chest”…love, forgiveness, joy, peace, happiness, faith, trust, promises,,, and the Salvation that is offered through Jesus Christ. ACCEPT AND RECEIVE…

Make that choice to accept Jesus today and seek no more for HE is here with you!

The power in Jesus’ blood is so great that it covers ALL sin. And then “go and sin no more” as we accept change in our life to strive to do the right thing always and ask for help when we are weak and forgiveness when we fail. God knows we will make mistakes; we just need to lean on HIS understanding and accept forgiveness as we also forgive others. Just put one step in front of the other and follow the light of Jesus. He will not lead you wrong!!!

Pray to God as you read these scriptures with the truth of God in your heart and receive all that God is giving you today.

NIV

Romans 10:9

That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is LORD,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”

Study Notes:

10:8

Righteousness is gained by faith, not by deeds, and is readily available to anyone who will receive it freely from God through Christ.”

10: 9

‘In your heart’ “In Biblical terms the heart is not merely the seat of the emotions and affections, but also of the intellect and will”

Together:

Thank you Father for loving me so;

Thank you Father for the gifts from YOU that so freely flow.

For it is not by my might or power that it is done, but by my submission to follow the wise one.

Thank you, Jesus for allowing me to see. You light my path to bring me home.

Thank you dear Father for a gift so deep that shows your love for me so dear.

Dear Jesus, you did what no other would do, you gave your life and we know what you went through.

Today we say thank you and there is nothing we can say or do to change what you did.

I only can repay you with accepting your gift and saying that I thank you and offer you my love…

I give you me as I acknowledge that you gave me life.

Jesus gave His life …for our life, so that we may have life!

Love in Christ,

Karen Rowe

Mailbag…………..i love getting mail………….I would love to hear from you!

Dewey,

Thank you for your time yesterday and the lunch invite that opened my eyes on being a leader in Gods eye to keep my eye on the ball. The things that are really important in the world and the direction that God may have for me. Their is a reason that you are someone that I value and you have no idea to moments that your talking with me have. The impact on me doing the right things in Gods eye and trying to find that solution and direction the he will direct me, it’s up to him.if I let him. I just need to let my Savior into my hurting heart and direct me.
I got the books for my church and will speak with my pastor as to why they weren’t their and where they stand on Vision America. The time to act is now and call me a rebel, Jack Nickelson would say in “A Few Good Men”—- “You want the truth, you cant’ handle the truth”. The fact is, it’s time.

Thank you and God Bless You,
Shawn

(Grant and I took Shawn to the Vision America Conference at Legacy Church on Tuesday. PS Get your Pastor and Church involved in Vision America…..email me for details..whether you are in Minnesota, New York or where ever……..)

Good Morning KKIM Family!!!

“I have heard your prayers, I have seen your tears.” Isaiah 38:5…………..yes what a Savior we have……He sees everything……..He knows everything………

“We must always pray, “Thy will be done.” Ruth Bell Graham

How wonderful it is to be with you today! WOW! What a storm we had yesterday……….lightening strike right behind the station hit a power pole and the sparks flew all over and the lights went out! The strike also damaged some equipment. Please pray for us and the station as we have taken some heavy lightening strikes the last few days at the radio ranch. You can have all the surge protectors you can buy….but lightening is lightening!

In softball last night we lost badly to First Family Church. The team is coached by KFLQ”s Engineer, Nathan! Nathan showed no mercy on the mound last night! Get’cha next time Nathan!

Here is AWESOME news on the DDC web site!
Good morning-

A very busy start to the week- today is slated to be just as bad- I am taking tomorrow off and plan to upload your commentary and get the front page of the new site in place. I am looking forward to it 🙂

Best,

Jannetta

Jannetta is such a blessing!!!! Cannot wait to see it!

Dearest Dewey and Family,
Yesterday I was blessed by a song ;

Put your eyes on JESUS, look full in HIS wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of HIS glory and grace.

What a wonderful song! and so true. love, Sam

Thanks Sam!

Please pray for Taunya’s Dad……………Please add Robert to your prayer lists. Our prayers are with you Taunya.

I found out last night that my father has been diagnosed with cancer of the bladder. His name is Robert Tourville, but for years he was known by his stage name of “Bob Ransom” ~ one of the most talented pianists ever born. Unfortunately, as often happens in the life of a musician, he has spent most of his years as an alcoholic and sadly that has been at a great cost. He is up in Duluth, MN ~ we’ve tried for years to get him to come down to ABQ where he has my mother, 7 children and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren, but he simply has not wanted to leave MN. He has already started chemotherapy, and I ask for your prayers for his healing ~ I would very much like to take Jaden up to meet him. Please pray that the Lord touch him and heal him physically and more importantly, give him peace in his heart. I pray that he is able to lean completely on our Lord at this trying time and that he feel the strength of all of our prayers.

God bless you and each of your lovely readers/listeners ~ I pray for each of you daily.

Taunya

Psychiatrist Gerald C. May observed, “After twenty years of listening to the yearnings of people’s hearts, I am convinced that human beings have an inborn desire for God. Whether we are consciously religious or not, this desire is our deepest longing and most precious treasure.”

Phillip Yancey says this about prayer. “To the believer, Prayer represents the most important use of time.”

I will say this, that reading God’s word and praying to God is our most important use of time.

If we do not choose to look inward and bare our souls, therapists and support groups now offer outlets that were once reserved for God alone.

Time and time again when I get stressed and start to get out of whack it is because I have not been in the word enough. I had to be reminded by a friend of that yesterday. It is so good to have Brothers and Sisters in Christ that can help us in our daily walk with Jesus Christ. That is why we are here everyday for you! Last night Lars came to our softball game with Brownie our oldest dog. Brownie is such a dear…….We have had her for about 14 years……..She loves to “talk” to daddy………why do I bring this up???? because it is one of the biggest blessings the Lord has given me…………..:Lars and Brownie………there is a lot of love in both. Plus there is something just right and peaceful about a boy and his dog.

Communication with other people keeps getting shorter and more cryptic: text messages, email, instant messaging. We have the constant sensation of not enough: not enough time, not enough rest, not enough exercise, not enough leisure. Where does God fit into a life that already seems behind schedule?

When is the last time you have received in the mail a letter hand written???

My Mom, Dad, and Uncle Joe used to write letters all the time……………now it just does not happen. A lot of true emotion and love went out the window when we stopped writing letters.

Prayfully we hope that the DDC and KKIM will always have the Love of Christ in them.

Karen Rowe sent this timely message…………

Prayers to God are sent up for you and Encouragement from HIM is sent to press on…

Philippians 4:6
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
7: And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

The Lord is near in your troubles, do not fear.

This is for someone…Believe in your healing!!! Have Faith and do not doubt!!! There is power in a believing prayer!!! Jesus said so many times in the Bible “Because of your FAITH, you are healed” It took time for me to understand that it really comes down to Faith. God’s power is always great and never changing, but how great is our faith? I am not pointing fingers, or else my finger would have to come right back to me, but I am encouraging in the teachings of Jesus and in testimony of the things that I have seen in great faith! FAITH in Jesus is Power in God!

John 5:6 “Do you want to get well?” 5:8 “Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up our mat and walk.” (Read 9) the man was cured at once!

The power of Christ Jesus, our savior and Son of God said that we can ask anything in HIS name and believe it to be true and it will be done as we have asked…healing by Faith for the Glory of God is in line with God’s good will and God honors our requests as Jesus has promised. There are times that God’s will is wise and we are weak to understand, but that doesn’t mean that God does not heal… That is why God is God and we are to trust in HIM to know that HIS will is good. We can walk accordingly and know when we are asking something according to HIS good will.

In all things we give thanks to HIM, because God sometimes will put us somewhere where God needs us to be to share our faith with others for them to see this wonderful thing we have in Christ!
Maybe even a crappy job that we have no idea why we are there, but if we look we can see another that God loves so much that HE sent us there for them and most generally, we learn more about Christ in ourself and what a double a blessing!!!

In health and job challenges… If we were to loose everything, but keep your soul, we are wealthy in Christ. I want to encourage those who face struggles right now and Jerry and Tina are especially on my mind just now to keep walking forward and God will provide. Trust HIM as long as it takes and do anything that God asks your to do. Work with your hands in anyway that God provides and hold steadfast to faith in your breakthrough! If you are unable to work at the moment, accept those gifts that God sends your way and someday pass those gifts along to another as a gift of love

(That song about the woman who left a $100 tip for the waitress with the note, “if you really want to thank me, then don’t let this stop with you; I was once in need and someone once helped me like I am helping you”)

The things that come to my mind as I feel your pain is that “failure…is the only opportunity to do it better the next time”….You both have a new opportunity to be where God places you. It may take time and “Patience is a virtue”…easier said than lived through, but remember that God loves you and HE has not forgotten you. He has you on my mind today and I want to encourage you not to give up. Good things are on your way!!!

Keep the Faith and Know it is true….Praise Him, Honor HIM and in all things keep saying “Be still and know that I am God” as you talk to HIM and look to HIM for guidance in your every decision.

Also, I believe that this quote is meant to share today. It is for all of us!!!

From: Our Daily Bread May 19 (Thursday) “Doing Our Part” , by Richard De Haan
The story was telling about a runner that was praying to God as he strived to finish the race…
“I was praying,” the runner answered. “Pointing to his feet, he said, “I was saying, “You pick ’em up, Lord, and I’ll put ’em down.”
“That athlete prayed for God’s help, but he also did what he could to answer his own prayer.”

Also from (2 Kings 20:5-7)
“God did the healing, but He used human effort and natural means.
And also:
“Let’s pray while we run as fast as we can.”

“Pray as if everything depends on God; work as if everything depends on you.”

Hang in there!!! We have been there!!! In testimony, God has always gotten us, me and our family, through hard times and to a better place!!

Jesus said to the disciples who were afraid to see Him walking on water, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
Then to Peter who said, “Lord, if it’s you, … tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come” Jesus said.

“Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and , beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith, ” he said, “why did you doubt?

Peter did the impossible until he took his eyes off of the power of God and instead looked at the obstacles that could overtake him in a natural mind.
In all things, look high to God and know that with God, nothing is impossible!!! It may look like you are sinking, but don’t look at that; Look @ where God has you!!! Walking on water!!! Praise God!!!

It is good to ask for prayers. We are not to carry the burden alone, because the devil will fill us with lies. Remember that God brings out the good in us!!! Listen to God and be sure it is God doing the talking.
God speaks and brings peace…don’t be afraid to go where God asks you to come…HE will go with you when we ask HIM to come along!!!

Love and Prayers,

Karen Rowe

Christ’s Love to you all, Dewey Sharon and family

PS Would you please tell 10 people about our Ministry today???

Let us hear from you today!!!

Good Morning KKIM Family!

It is such a blessing to be with you all today………..I just treasure this time together! I want to than you all for your prayers for Amy and Lynne. Please also pray for Jerry Torres as he is in the hospital once again because of his autoimmune disease. Jerry and Tina are good friends of KKIM and they are really struggling right now as they have no income coming in.

One of the things that makes me so happy in the Lord is to see many of you send notes to Amy and Lynne. Here is some of those notes………..please keep them coming. I also would like all of you to pray about sending Jerry and Tina a note.

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being a prayer warrior with us. My prayer for you is that you and yours will be filled by the Holy Spirit this day and everyday. I pray for you all everyday! I scan the email list and you are all in my and Sharon’s prayers!

After this prayer, the building where they were meeting shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 4:31

Oswald Chambers said this………..

Intercession means that we rouse ourselves up to get the mind of Christ about the one for whom we pray.

Let us pray together………..

Lord, continue my instruction each day. Keep me in proper spiritual focus and empower me for the work to be done. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

It is so important to be instructed by the GREAT PHYSICAN! Follow His compass not ours!

Many of you wrote that you liked this scripture……..

But He knows the way I take;
When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
My foot has held fast to His path:
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
I have not departed from the command of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
Job 23:10-12

Please also pray for the family of 23 year old Charles Vargas who was shot to death in a downtown parking garage in Albuquerque by a convicted felon who was out on probation. Charles was an excellent artist and was aiming to be a firefighter.

Please pray for the Lopez family as they head off on a family vacation. May God be with you all.

Also please pray for Merry, Dan, and son Eric as they head off to DISNEY WORLD!!!! May God be with you all!!!

Many families are getting a vacation in before the start of the new school year.

Good Morning, Dewey…

I will start praying right now! I have prayed for Tim and his sister, Lynne Buggs, many times over the years. Please re-assure them that the Lord is Great and Mighty! He can do ALL things! I will pray for total healing…and ask God to comfort them!

May God Bless You,

Teri Mac. (aka Zeni)

Dewey, this is for Lynne.

Lynne I wanted to let you know you are being prayed for. It is never
asking too much to ask for prayer. I know in my heart that this is
very much a part of treatment and healing. Cherie

Thinking of Lynne and her family…

All those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and
He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. Luke 4:40

May there be physical and spiritual strengthening and healing in this time and for Lynne!

Because of Jesus,
Karen in Elkhart

Dearest Lynne, you are definitely in my prayers. I feel the power of GOD for you Lynne. And HE has promised us that HE will always be there for us. What a blessing that is to just concentrate on THAT. To KNOW HE is Always with us, WOW. Even in times when HE is so far from our minds, HE is ALWAYS WITH US.
Bless you Lynne

Dewey, I just read the article of homosexuals, and was informed on so much I didn’t know was going on. I want to THANK YOU for that article. It is wonderful to hear the TRUTH that is going on around us. Needless to say, they sure try to hide alot of it.
I can’t even imagine a Minister going to jail for speaking the TRUTH, but it has happened alot in our history. Christians MUST speak out MORE and MORE. I would say (We can’t let this happen) BUT, the bible tells us it will. So we must do what we can with whoever will listen, especially our children! love, sam

This really hit me about self-responsibility………sent in by Karen of Elkhart…………

OLD VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

——————————————-

MODERN (POLITICALLY CORRECT) VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and lay ing up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN,ABC and NPR show up to provide pictures of the shivering
grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green.’

Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’ Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.

Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.

Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.

The ant loses the case.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of
the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens
to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t
maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house,
now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once
peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2008

Good Morning and I hope this finds you all well. I am thankful for this ministry that allows us to all come together in Christ. I continue to read, pray and rejoice with you all!!Today, I would like to come together again in Praise to God.

Today, I send this as Praise to God in the highest. Our styles of worship may be different, but we are all worshiping the same God for who HE is and all the great that HE does. God is pleased when we praise and love HIM and love each other, as one under Christ.

May we all receive from God as God enables us; As we give God the Glory for all Good things! In the same I must trust God as I send this and I do so for HIS Glory.

When do we praise God the most? By Karen Rowe

Ephesians 5: 19-21

“Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”

God is so great!!! Praise God all the time. Praise HIM in good things and in bad…Boldly praise God out loud and don’t be afraid. God is good and worthy of praise! May we thank Jesus and say HIS name often!

It may take time to get to a point of praise in a bad situation; Jesus understands, but HE is also our strength!

We are only as strong as the closeness we seek in God, but nothing is so bad that God is not above…God gives us HIS grace that we need.

We know we receive His grace when we sense HIS peace and we offer God thanksgiving in Praise.

James 1:3-4

“…because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

…Something bad may get us down, but God can pick us up if we reach for and take HIS hand and what better way than praising God…

Praise to God unleashes the power in God to overcome anything …That is FAITH giving honor God!!! Through praise, we are enabled to gracefully get through difficult struggles.

Seek to praise HIM when tired or weak. Praise HIM with sincerity. The truth in praise is felt from the heart and is intended to glorify, thank and respect God and to show God our love for HIM.

If I am tired and feel that I have nothing to offer God, I can sit quietly with God until I overflow in Praise for HIM.

Time with God is fully received when HIS love overflows in praise from us…

I am not just writing words!

“Time with God” “HIS love overflows”…Actual time with Our Almighty God!

…And Praising God is from what we have already received! What a privilege!!!

Praise HIM in simple, quiet moments. HE comes to us and we can receive HIM in joy as we sit quietly in HIS presence, acknowledging HIM with a thankful heart.

Excited praise comes out easily on a perfectly wonderful day full of easily found blessings. Humble praise comes up out of us when God has rescued us.

A heart who believes HIS every Word and loves HIS commands will praise God automatically as HIS very Spirit fills our soul.

Praise God for HIS wonders and works that are done by HIS powerful hand. Praise God when we read HIS Word. Praise God when we sing to HIM. Praise God in prayer with our words and praise God in the stillness of the morning in the quietness of our hearts. Speak to HIM words of Praise!!! Meditate words of Praise to God all of the time and a closeness can be found in God that is real.

Exalting praise comes from complete trust in our God for who HE is!

God’s Spirit we cannot see; our spirit we cannot see, but just as the wind blows that we cannot see, we can know that the breeze blows by, just as we can know that God is with us…

Praise sent to God completes us as we are filled with the Spirit!

Praise acknowledges to God that we believe and know that He is the absolute creator of all things and giver of all good things.

The mornings are alive with HIS glory!

…so simple, but magnificently, the miracle of all life is newly unwrapped daily. My tired and weary soul can merely sit in God’s presence in silence and just bask in all that HE created and HE makes my soul soar.

To some, it may be different, I am told, but maybe only because the silence is not received in praise to God. To some the city is all one knows, but God is there too. We are created with different passions and talents for God’s good purpose, but together we seek to do what is pleasing to God.

The day is what God created and the gift is how it is received.

So together, in our place on this earth, we can come together in Spirit and Praise our God, for HE is here with us all. How amazing is HIS Power, Grace and Glory!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise HIM Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

When do we praise God the most? When we acknowledge that we know that HE is here!

I was reading Psalms and the thought came to me to wonder what had occurred in the writer’s life that motivated him to write with such passion so many words of High, exalting praise to God.

Honestly, it is so simple…God is God, and HE is worthy of Praise!!!

In the Psalms we can read and feel the tremendous call on God for help; a total dependence and need that can only be met by trust in God.

The intensity of the need >>> given to the high praise of trust in God’s hand>>>and expressed by a passion in thanking God…

Our prayer life is intended to be passionate and full of trust. God is worthy of receiving thanksgiving in praise.

Think about that in your own prayer life.

I thought of my own prayer life. I praise GOD high when “I know that HE is here”…I have always known that God Is God and HE is here, but it took spending time with God for me to understand that praises are given to God as expressions of belief; Praise is worship to HIM, acknowledging HIM and all that HE IS and all that HE does.

To God is the Glory forever and ever!!!

The other thought is I praise God intensely when I am humbled by my weakness and acknowledge that I need God.

Praise God while waiting and Praise God upon receiving…God has power to do all things…Praise God for the gift of FAITH!

There is freedom in a humbled heart, humbled mouth and humbled actions. Praise flows so much more freely…when we are humbled to know that we need God in all things.

Let us find that place of peace in God daily; let us experience God with a humbled heart every day! Not just because we have a need, but because we love HIM and have a desire to please God. Then, we can clearly see our all of our blessings that HE so freely gives!!!

“I” am weak, but HE is strong…and HE promises to be “my” God…

Praise God! HE loves us and we can live a simple Spiritual life with God…Praise God and Thank Jesus!

A fleshly heart cannot passionately praise God because it is too busy worrying and complicating life seeking praise for self…We need humble hearts for God…

Crucify our flesh daily and look to serve God in all things for God’s will and purpose; not for our own comfort or recognition.

“I don’t need to make a million dollars,”… I only want to serve the ONE who already given it all! The gifts that Jesus gave us and the gifts that God so freely gives are humbling…God has given us so much already and He continues to bless us!

Praise God for HE really does know best in all things.

Although it may not make “logical sense” to a mere human mind, in a world bent on selfish motivation …

A spiritual heart understands that

A humble heart praising God makes a joyful heart.

We are filled with God’s Spirit and made Spiritual in God…

WE are NOT God, but God is in us…That is a real statement worthy of praise to God!

Praising God is a Spiritual action between each of us and God.

There is unity in each of us and closeness in Spirit that is shared in Jesus and in Praise…

…It is good and God designed.

Only Jesus can exact the perfection of HIS joy, peace, love and happiness in our heart, mind, body and soul!

May we turn all of our self toward praising and serving HIM, who does all great and wonderful things…May we always look to a higher vision!

God IS … still… and forever will be God!

I will close in Psalms:

Psalm 146:1-10

“Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Do no put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.

When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them – the LORD, who remains faithful forever.

He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free, the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous.

The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations.

Praise the LORD.”

Psalm 147:1-7

“Praise the LORD.

How good it is to sing praises to our God,

How pleasant and fitting to praise him!

The LORD builds up Jerusalem ; he gathers the exiles of Israel .

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.

Great is our Lord and mighty in power;

his understanding has no limit.

The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.

Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;”

I encourage to us to continue reading in the Bible…

Ephesians 5:18

Study notes: “be filled with the Spirit”… “Indicates the filling of the Spirit is not a once-for-all experience. Repeatedly, as the occasion requires, the Spirit empowers for worship, service and testimony.”

May we all enjoy a blessed day!

A blessing is a gift from God

that is received with praise and thanksgiving!

Love in Christ,

Karen Rowe

Thanks so much Karen! What a Blessing! Dr. James Dobson can be heard on KKIM weekdays at 6am and 1pm and here is some HUGE NEWS on Dr. Dobson………

Focus Daily Radio Show Wins Place in Hall of Fame
Dr. Dobson’s fans propelled him to victory through online votes
Colorado Springs, Colo. — Dr. James Dobson’s more than 30 years of broadcasting have been honored with induction to the National Radio Hall of Fame. The 2008 Class was the first selected through national online voting, and the “Focus on the Family” broadcast is the first religious program to receive such an honor.

“I’ve made a living putting thoughts into words throughout my adult life, but it is difficult to express how I feel about this honor,” said Dr. James Dobson today at a staff assembly. “I am especially pleased because the wonderful people at Focus on the Family deserve it. Our radio program has not been a solo effort. It has been a symphony performed by more than 10,000 people over the past 32 years. I am indebted to them all.”

“Particularly, I want to thank the Broadcast Team, past and present. They get a big ‘tip of the hat’ for all their hard work and dedication. They have earned the accolades this honor recognizes. I also want to thank all the friends across the nation who cast their votes for me. I love and appreciate them all.”

Focus on the Family President and CEO Jim Daly added: “To have ‘Focus on the Family’ honored in this manner means we’ve made a difference in families all over the world. That Dr. Dobson’s listeners recognized the excellence and relevance of the content of the daily broadcast and voted to give him a much-deserved win shows Dr. Dobson’s influence is as strong as ever in the hearts of his fans, as well as in the culture.”

As host of the daily broadcast, Dr. Dobson joins the ranks of radio luminaries such as Orson Wells, Paul Harvey, Gene Autry, Bing Cosby, Kate Smith, Jack Benny, Walter Winchell, Dick Clark and Rush Limbaugh, while “Focus on the Family” is featured alongside shows like “The Shadow” and “Your Hit Parade.”

Dr. Dobson didn’t anticipate the overwhelming and immediate success of the broadcast. Soon after his program went on the air in 1977, however, Dr. Dobson received an avalanche of mail from people across the cou ntry asking him for help and advice. Today, Dr. Dobson’s internationally syndicated radio programs are heard daily on more than 3,000 radio outlets across North America. They also air in 27 languages in more than 160 countries.

The Hall of Fame’s 2008 steering committee nominated Dr. Dobson in the “national active” category, alongside Bob Costas, Dr. Laura Schlessinger and the notorious Howard Stern. To qualify, a broadcaster must have contributed to the radio industry on a national level for at least 10 years.

May Christ be with you always, Love, Dewey Sharon and family
