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.

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
