Here are Great Words from Pastor Jerry! WOW! This is the walk Sharon and I started 4 months ago, PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!
I have a great deal of respect and honor for all martyrs of our faith; make no mistake about that. However, what our world desperately needs are “living martyrs” for our faith! I mean Christians who have died to all aspects of the fleshly self for our Christ and His Kingdom! There are far too many believers who keep their faith secret for fear their profits will go down, or their living will become more difficult. Living martyrs “seek first the Kingdom of God” above all else, and trust Him in spite of the costs.

Here is a letter of Testimony we received after Preaching this past Sunday at Christ Full Deliverance Ministries……..
To introduce myself, I am a retired U.S. Navy veteran of 22 years and have been working as a convenience store manager for the last 14 years or so in addition to a few other odds and ends. In my service I saw two tours of duty in Vietnam; was involved in the Grenada operation; evacuated Beirut 3 different times (twice under fire) and the Panama operation. My last tour of duty was as the communications officer for the Admiral on the east coast in charge of all the navy seals. 41 days into relaxing on 45 days of terminal leave prior to my navy retirement, the Admiral called me on a Friday afternoon and informed me to pack my bags, my retirement papers were being red lined and that we would be flying out together first thing Sunday morning to Saudi Arabia and eventually performed duties in Iraq in Operation Desert Storm.
Originally I was brought up in a Godly home but over the years that home unfortunately turned very progressive. Fortunately, I retained enough of my beginnings to see me through my military career. Subsequently, I did not necessarily become progressive but I did loose touch with the Church and Our Lord.
Only a few months ago my elder brother located in Dallas Texas passed away due to heart and lung conditions which at his early age of 66 was a complete surprise and shock to me. GOD said, “Pastor Dewey (who had not even met me yet), Rick needs us”. Along came Pastor Dewey and my spirits lifted. Let me explain I love my dogs as much as I love my own children; (they are all Gods children), and they all taught me an awful lot about love, care and compassion. So, only weeks after my brothers lose, we lost “daddys little girl” Suzy-Q from old age at 13 years. My heart was being ripped to shreds. GOD said, “Pastor Dewey, Rick needs us”. Along came Pastor Dewey and my spirits lifted. Only a few weeks later I lost my job, (keeping in my mind, I have not been unemployed since I was 12 years old, which is 48 years ago). At the age of 60 and knowing the current job and employment market; I was devastated !!! GOD said, “Pastor Dewey, Rick needs us AGAIN !”. Along came Pastor Dewey and an ease came over me. I am still unemployed but an ease came over me that I havent felt for years. As Pastor Dewey states: a window has been shut so a door could be opened and I am now fearless that I will find my way through that door !!! (THIS GUY DOESNT GIVE UP; NOR DOES HIS BOSS !!!)
A week later Pastor Dewey invited me to attend service at Christ Full Deliverance Ministries in Rio Rancho which is lead by Pastor Marty Cooper where he was going to be the guest speaker. My wonderful wife and very best friend Sandy and I were immediately made to feel at home by Pastor Cooper and the entire congregation; our hearts both lifted. Ive been in front of many well-known and important speakers during my military career including President Reagan but I have never in my life been so moved and impressed with a speaker as I was that day in that homely little Church. Pastor Dewey & his Supervisors above brought me from near depression and once again made me realize how little my problems are and brought my life back into the reality of our LORD and the mission of our Church. Pastor Dewey and his lovely wife Sharon do not care if they minister to one or one hundred.
At sea, sailors relied on lighthouses to find their way safely to port.
Pastor Dewey and his lovely wife are a lighthouse for any and all
Souls to find their way back to our Lord and Savior.

Amazing Testimony from my friend Mistie………
My husband is absolutely amazing. As I watch my mom die of cancer and experience the hardest time of my life, I am also experiencing the best and closest time in my marriage. He is right by my side; for every bathroom trip, every wheelchair ride and all the crying in between. He talks to her about heaven and tells her how much he loves her and that her grand kids will be okay. I have never felt so loved. I am so thankful to God for him.
Let us pray for Mistie’s Mom and the whole family!
From our friends at the Lighthouse Church in Chimayo. Let us pray for complete healing! AMEN!
Good morning everyone. This is an urgent call to prayer for our brother, Bobby Gonzales. He will be going through surgery today. The doctors hope to open the knee and clean out any infection. Bobby is on major antibiotics and is in massive pain right now. The doctors’ reports tell that the worst case scenario could be leg amputation. BUT — OUR GOD IS GREATER!! Please pray that God would give the doctors and nurses wisdom – and more importantly – that Bobby’s knee and leg – and his entire body would be healed!! WE BELIEVE!!
Also – pray for Bobby’s family – that God would continue to give them strength.
Thank you in advance for standing with Bobby in prayer!
This will encourage you this day…………Thank you Chuck for sending this in. I have not seen this one for ages, it is a true story………it is amazing!
Beautiful story…. makes you understand that things happen for a reason
The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned
to their first ministry, to reopen a church
in suburban Brooklyn , arrived in early October
excited about their opportunities. When they saw
their church, it was very run down and needed
much work. They set a goal to have everything
done in time to have their first service
on Christmas Eve.
They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls,
painting, etc, and on December 18
were ahead of schedule and just about finished.

On December 19 a terrible tempest – a driving
rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days.

On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church.
His heart sank when he saw that the roof had
leaked, causing a large area of plaster about
20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall
of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit,
beginning about head high.
The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor,
and not knowing what else to do but postpone
the Christmas Eve service, headed home.
On the way he noticed that a local business was
having a flea market type sale for charity, so he
stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful,
handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth
with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross
embroidered right in the center. It was just
the right size to cover the hole in the front
wall. He bought it and headed back to the church.
By this time it had started to snow. An older
woman running from the opposite direction was
trying to catch the bus. She missed it. The pastor
invited her to wait in the warm church for
the next bus 45 minutes later.

She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor
while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put
up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor
could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and
it covered up the entire problem area.
Then he noticed the woman walking down the center
aisle. Her face was like a sheet. “Pastor,”
she asked, “where did you get that tablecloth?”
The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check
the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into
it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had
made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria .
The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor
told how he had just gotten “The Tablecloth”. The
woman explained that before the war she and
her husband were well-to-do people in Austria .
When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave.
Her husband was going to follow her the next week.
He was captured, sent to prison and never saw her
husband or her home again.
The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth;
but she made the pastor keep it for the church..
The pastor insisted on driving her home. That
was the least he could do. She lived on the other
side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn
for the day for a housecleaning job.
What a wonderful service they had on Christmas
Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the
spirit were great. At the end of the service, the
pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door
and many said that they would return.
One older man, whom the pastor recognized
from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the
pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he
wasn’t leaving.
The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on
the front wall because it was identical to one
that his wife had made years ago when
they lived in Austria before the war and how
could there be two tablecloths so much alike?
He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he
forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was
supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and
put in a prison. He never saw his wife or his home
again all the 35 years between.
The pastor asked him if he would allow him to
take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten
Island and to the same house where the pastor
had taken the woman three days earlier.
He helped the man climb the three flights of
stairs to the woman’s apartment, knocked on
the door and he saw the greatest Christmas
reunion he could ever imagine.
True Story – submitted by Pastor Rob Reid
who says God does work in mysterious ways.
I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for
you today, to guide you and protect you as you go
along your way. His love is always with you.. His
promises are true, and when we give Him all our
cares we know He will see us through.
So when the road you’re traveling seems
difficult at best, just remember I’m here
praying and God will do the rest. Pass this on
to those you want God to bless and remember
to send it back to the one who asked God to bless
you first.

Sonja sent this in……Thank you Sonja!
twas’ 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven’s gate.
their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
they were filled with..
such joy, they didn’t know what to say.
they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
“where are we?” asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
“this is heaven.” declared a small boy. “we’re spending Christmas at God’s house.”
when what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus’ face.
and as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, “I’ll take care of mom and dad.”
then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
“Let My power and presence re-enter this land!”
“may this country be delivered from the hands of fools”
“I’m taking back my nation. I’m taking back my schools!”
then He and the children stood up without a sound.
“come now my children, let me show you around.”
excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
and i heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
“in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT.”

This is from Posting that the Lord led me too that is so timely for the United States of America……..the posting is by Dallas McAllister Youth Speaker for Shepherd Ministries
Dear Dawson, Why did God make the earth and us along with it? He doesn’t really need us, so why did he create anything?
Great question, and you’re not the first to ask it. King David asked essentially the same thing:
“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers … what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?” (Psalm 8:3-4).
Why did God make us? To answer that, we need to know three things:
First, and you mentioned this in your question, it wasn’t because he needed us: “The God who made the world and everything in it … is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything” (Acts 17:24-25).
And he didn’t make us because he was lonely. Long before we were here, God already had “company” with his Son and the Holy Spirit, referred to in Genesis 1:26, “Let us make man in our own image.”
And he didn’t make us because he needed his ego fed. It’s not like God made us to satisfy some craving to be worshiped. God is totally secure in who he is—without us.
Second, despite not needing us, God chose to create us anyway, out of his great love: “I have loved you with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3). Yes, God loved us before he even created us. It’s impossible to get our heads around that idea, but it’s true; that’s what “everlasting” love means.
God is love (1 John 4:8), and because of that love and his wonderful creativity, he made us so we can enjoy all that he is and all that he’s done.
Third, God created us to fulfill his eternal plan. I could write pages and pages about this, but suffice it to say that God, in his infinite wisdom, chose to make us a part of his eternal plan.
What part do we play in this plan? Well, the Bible is full of instructions for how we should live our lives. But here are a few key verses to remember:

1. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:5).
2. “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39).
3. “We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).

We’re also part of the war between God and Satan, and God’s ultimate plan to defeat Satan. By putting our faith in God, we can defeat Satan and his lies (see Ephesians 6:10-18).
Finally, perhaps the most important part we play in God’s eternal plan is to point people to eternal life with God—through his Son Jesus Christ. The Bible calls this our “ministry of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).
That’s why we’re here. But it’s also important to note that we have a choice in all of this. When God created us, he didn’t make us pawns in some cosmic chess game. We’re not his toy soldiers. God gives us freedom of choice.
Bottom line: God may not need us, but we certainly need him. I hope you’ve made the choice to put your trust completely in him—and play an exciting part in his loving, eternal plan.
