”If you were of the world, the world would love you . . . but I chose you out of the world.” John 15:19
“When you feed your faith you are starving your doubts to death.” Lester Sumrall
“Dewey Moede of For God’s Glory Alone Ministries is a man that hears from God. His words are concise and dependable. He truly works for God’s glory alone.” Pastor Tom Bozone of Rock Rio Church in Rio Rancho where Dewey and Sharon were Sunday.
What I will never forget about Mistie Stephenson Micklevitz Mom, Denna, who just passed away onto heaven, after my visit and prayer time with Denna she gave me and Sharon Friendship Bread. I will always remember that in Denna’s pain she was still giving the friendship of our Lord Jesus Christ!—The words of Dewey
“It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.”
-Donald Miller
Graham Cooke
”It’s very important to know where the line is between faith and presumption. Go and stand as close to that line as possible. Some of us are so scared of being presumptuous that the place where we’re occupying is really a place of unbelief. There’s territory in, around and in front of you that belongs to you but you’re not occupying it because you’re scared of making a mistake. God is not worried about your presumption. He’s concerned about your unbelief.”
A very Dear friend of mine who I had the blessing of baptizing awhile back in Minneapolis Minnesota, Randy Thom, goes to jail today for 60 days. Randy has confessed his sin and been forgiven by our Father. Randy is a tremendous witness to all those around him, I was one of many that wrote letters to the Judge asking for mercy. It was delivered by our Lord! AMEN! As I talked to Randy this morning before he enters the jail I told him that out of this is going to result in a greater testimony for our Lord!
Dr. W. Edward Bedore wrote this on Paul’s Prayers from Prison………
EPHESIANS 1:15-23
The Apostle Paul starts the letter to the Ephesians with these words: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places” (Eph. 1:3). This sets the theme of the letter, which is the believers’ position “in Christ.” The words translated “blessed” and “blessing” come from the Greek root word ulogeo. This word carries the general meaning of “to give honor to.” In other words, Paul is saying that the uniquely honored and highly exalted God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has honored the members of the Body of Christ with every spiritual honor in the heavenly places. This is an astounding statement of spiritual fact. The first three chapters of Ephesians are built directly on this verse, and the last three chapters are directly related to it.
Paul’s prayer as recorded in verses 15-23 is an appeal that God would grant the Ephesians spiritual enlightenment and understanding of the blessings bestowed on them “in Christ” as outlined in verses 4-14. This request, of course, is not only to the Ephesian church but includes every believer from Paul’s day until now. These spiritual blessings are referred to as “the hope of His calling” and “the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints”(verse 18).
The Lord Jesus Christ is seated at the Father’s “right hand in the heavenly places.” He has been exalted above and beyond all others in heaven and earth. As believers, we who were dead in sin have now been made alive with Christ and made to “sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:1-7). To understand your calling “in Christ” read and re-read the first three chapters of Ephesians and ask God to grant Paul’s prayer on your behalf.
Here’s what Randy wrote on his facebook………
okay friends, i have to tell ya all i will be deactivating my fb account for a period of not more than 60 days, i made some bad choices a few years ago and am now going to take care of that and get that issue behind me, so dont despair.. i will be back.. as of jan 7 2013 i will not be on facebook,, the worst part of doing this is knowing i cant be on facebook everyday.. so until we reconnect,, may you be a blessed fully and be a blessing for many.
From Randy’s friend Kathy Peterson……..
I have been doing a lot of thinking and praying this weekend…and God is so amazing…but I have also realized how much I take my own health for granted…how quickly something can happen that can be such a life-changing event…not only for myself…but for the people around me…..today is my brother’s Birthday and Terry…I wish you a very Happy one….yesterday…a lifetime friend…underwent a very serious operation…and the outcome looks very good….today also another friend is in a position to square away a part of his like and put it behind him…godspeedRandal Thom….I am so proud of you and your friendship is a treasured part of my past…..Life changes all around us each and every day….some time it can be frightening, sometimes joyful, sometimes filled with sadness. But for me…I am Blessed because I know that God and Lord Jesus are with me…guiding me…holding my friends and family in their arms…and that brings, joy, consolation and peace to me. Have an awesome week everyone….be safe…be happy…be grateful and be blessed.
Please keep Brother Randy in your prayers…..we grew up together in Windom, Minnesota and the Lord brought us back together a few years ago for Randy’s Baptism! PRAISE GOD!
Sunday was a POWERFUL movement of the HOLY SPIRIT at Rock Rio Church in Rio Rancho. My report to you this day is the Lord is raising me up further and further along with my wife Sharon. This walk, journey or whatever you want to call it is so AWESOME, even thou we do not know where are next nickel is going to come from. The Lord is teaching us much that we share with everybody. I wish I would be taping all my sermons to share with you all that are not able to come to the service. Sharon and I have turned over our lives completely to the Lord and the Holy Spirit has put a blanket over us. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND MY DEAR FRIENDS THIS IS NOT OF ME AND SHARON BUT OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, OUR LIVES ARE COMPLETELY FOR HIM AND NOT MAN AND OUR BOASTING TO YOU IS OF HIM NOT OF US SO YOU CAN SEE THE WONDERS HE DOES! WE DON’T HAVE FANCY “STUFF” WE ARE JUST SIMPLE PEOPLE IN LOVE WITH OUR LORD.
My life is worth nothing unless I use it for the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24
Too many of you are out there today trying to please man. Your too attached to “stuff” What does the “stuff” mean to God?
Is what you are doing this day for the eternal…….or for man and “stuff”?
For too long I served Man. We all, no matter where we are at need to serve God first. “Stuff” is what has gotten the Church and the United States in trouble!
Sharon and I face huge challenges like many of you,……but we have our Lord Jesus Christ, our family and many, many friends like you!
Please keep our daughter Gretchen in your prayers as she evaluates her next step in life.
One thing I sure have found is that as you are raised up by our Lord, satan attacks your children and other areas of your life. Your prayers for our family and for FGGAM are so much appreciated!
Just one final note on family…..There is nothing more POWERFUL than a husband and wife together in our Lord, a couple that has just died to themselves and has given their lives completely to our Lord. That is another reason we must stand in the gap for the sanctity of marriage! AMEN! Let us pray for those couples that are not on the same page with God! AMEN! Revival starts in our homes! AMEN!
This is just so AWESOME by Gayle at Rock Rio, she read this before Communion yesterday at Rock Rio…….you will want to print this out and save it and spread it all over the world! AMEN! Thank you Gayle!
G – This is a special communion, the first of 2013. Today is a communion of dedication to You, Lord Jesus.
S – We declare this day before You that all that we have, all that we are, and all that we have accomplished is by Your grace alone.
G – Without You, we are nothing, we have no good thing, and we can do no good thing.
S – We give back this day, all that You have given us: our lives, our loved ones, our material possessions, our bodies, our minds, our time, our energy and our passion.
G – Lord Jesus, we commit to living our lives for You and for Your kingdom purposes in 2013.
S – We surrender our self-focus, our selfishness, our pride and our desire to have things the way we want them to You.
G – We say: “Do whatever You desire!” “Lord, have it Your way!” “Precious Savior, not my will but Yours!”
S – We surrender our families and loved ones to You, Lord Jesus, as we focus first and foremost on You.
G – We commit to placing all of the possessions You have given us—from our homes and cars to food and clothing—into Your Hands, for You to use as You will to accomplish Your purposes.
S – We commit to spending time with You each day, especially time in silence and quiet, where You speak and we listen, where we rest in Your presence, where we get to know Your mind and heart, where You have opportunity to build us up and strengthen us for what lies ahead.
G – We declare that we are called to be a relational, restorative and reconciling community in Christ—one that proclaims the good news of salvation, celebrates Your healing grace, nurtures the growth and gifts of Your people, and restores the joy of Your reign.
S – So, we commit to be faithful in teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, in prayer—that through worship in spirit and in truth we may become the living temples of your presence.
G – We commit to support and affirm those to whom You have given spiritual gifts and ministries, and to teach and train them up for kingdom service, encourage them, and pray for them.
S – We commit to the creation of a welcoming home here at Rock Rio, where the burdened and suffering will find support and comfort, where the alienated will be accepted, where the captives will be set free, where those seeking You will be shown the way.
G – This house, Your house, is one where each of us presents You to others. We show Your love by loving each other and loving the unlovable in the world.
S – We show Your love by offering not only material support, but spiritual support through intercession, healing, deliverance and prophecy to the hungry, homeless, captive, fearful, burdened and lost.
G – Finally, Lord, we welcome the empowering Holy Spirit to this house, and into each of our lives. We know that these commitments and dedications are impossible for us to keep in our own strength. The only way that we can fulfill what we have promised to You today, is by Your Spirit at work in us.
S- Thank You, Jesus. We praise You. We worship You. We love You. And we look forward with great anticipation to how You will work out these declarations in our lives and here at Rock Rio.
As Jesus told those He loved the night before He died, this is my body broken for you. Take and eat the Bread of Life.
WOW! DYNAMITE! AWESOME! POWERFUL! Thank you Gayle of Rock Rio! AMEN! Just think what would happen if everyone read those every morning and committed their household to them! WOW! REVIVAL in the home! AMEN!
After I posted the 10 benefits of Walking in the favor of God by Pastor Reyes, Grace posted this reply…….excellent words by Grace……..a message for all of us!
Grace Cordova Kalberer Amen! Amen! All too often we hear about what life is like without our Fathers love, without His favor snd grace. But we don’t hear enough about God’s enormous heart and His profound blessings to those He loves. I’ve always said, you cannot frighten or coerce anyone into following the Lord. And yet, all His good is so clearly and powerfully outlined right here, direct from scripture! Who would turn away from such treasures!? Not I!!! Thank you, Dewey, for this powerful refreshing reminder! Surely the Lord works through you!
10 Benefits of Walking in the Favor of God: Blog from Pastor Winston Reyes of Victory Fort
http://winsgigi.multiply.com/journal/item/61/10_Benefits_of_Walking_in_the_Favor_of_God
1. Supernatural increase and promotion
Genesis 39:20b-22 But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there.
2. Restoration of everything that has been taken from you
Exodus 3:21 “And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed.”
Job 33:26 He prays to God and finds favor with him, he sees God’s face and shouts for joy; he is restored by God to his righteous state.
3. Honor even in midst of adversaries
Exodus 11:3 The LORD made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh’s officials and by the people.
4. Increase assets especially in the area of real estate
Deuteronomy 33:23 About Naphtali he said: “Naphtali is abounding with the favor of the LORD and is full of his blessing; he will inherit southward to the lake.”
5. Provision and overflowing harvest
Deuteronomy 33:16 with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush. Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince among his brothers.
6. Protection from the LORD
Psalm 5:11-12 But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
7. Prominence and preferential treatment Esther 2:17 Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
8. Prayers are heard and answered
Nehemiah 1:11 O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.” I was cupbearer to the king.
Psalm 69:13 But I pray to you, O LORD, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation.
Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
9. Purpose of God is accomplished through you
Isaiah 49:8 This is what the LORD says: “In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances,
Psalm 90:17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us — yes, establish the work of our hands.
10. Battles are won in which you won’t even have to fight because God will fight them for you
Psalm 44:3 (NKJV) For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because You favored them.
Prayer for God’s Favor:
“O Lord God I seek Your favor upon my life today. Because You have given me Your righteousness, I believe that I have found favor in the eyes of God. Because You are a covenant-keeping God, You will look on me with favor and make me fruitful and bring increase in my life.
Like Joseph, I will prosper in every position, concern, or situation where I am in, because the Lord is with me. Because of Your favor, I experience preferential treatment from other people. Since I work with integrity I will obtain favor from God. A good man obtains favor from the Lord, and those who do what’s right cannot be removed. I actively seek and live by Your higher wisdom; therefore, I am highly favored and esteemed in the sight of God and men. Your favor brings promotion and approval. You O Lord take pleasure in my prosperity. You desire for me to prosper in every area of my life— spiritually, financially, emotionally, physically, mentally and socially. You surround and protect me with favor like a shield; therefore, no sickness or disease can live in my body. I thank You Lord that Your favor upon my life endures for a lifetime. I give You praise and honor. In Jesus’ name, Amen!”
(Exodus 32:11; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Leviticus 26:9; Genesis 39:1-6; Proverbs 3:1-4; 8:33-35; 11:27; 12:2, 3; Esther 2:17; Psalm 75:6-7; Psalm 35:27; 3 John 2; Deuteronomy 7:15; Psalm 5:12; Psalm 30:5)
WALKING IN THE FAVOR OF GOD
by Harlan Burton
You O Lord have promised that those who seek your face,
All who truly worship you will be covered by your grace;
We who put our trust in you will ever shout your praise,
Forever you will surround us like a shelter all our days.
Oh yes, I’m walking, walking in the favor of God,
Oh yes, I’m walking, walking in the favor of God;
He said if I would trust and obey he’d guide my steps all along the way,
That’s why I’m walking, walking, walking in the favor of God.
Weeping will not last for long joy comes with the light,
His anger is for a moment but his favor is for life;
All it takes is a child like faith, no room for compromise,
Forgetting those things which are behind, pressing toward the prize.
Oh yes, I’m walking, walking in the favor of God,
Oh yes, I’m walking, walking in the favor of God,
He said if I would trust and obey he’d guide my steps all along the way,
That’s why I’m walking, walking, walking in the favor of God.
Oh yes, I’m walking, walking in the favor of God,
Oh yes, I’m walking, walking in the favor of God,
He said if I would trust and obey he’d guide my steps all along the way,
That’s why I’m walking, walking, walking in the favor of God.
He said if I would trust and obey he’d guide my steps all along the way,
That’s why I’m walking, Oh yes I’m walking,
Let’s all keep walking, let’s keep on walking,
That’s why I’m walking, walking, walking in the favor of God.
The Favor of God!
January 7, 2013. Checking your heart at the door could be a very wise thing for your behavior. The words that flow from your lips flow directly from your heart. Your mouth speaks from that which is in your heart. Wise people in my family and from God himself advise me to keep my thinking true to God’s heart and truth. Pray that He put a guard, or a pair of fiery angels about your mouth to keep your words pure and holy. If you think it in your heart, there is a probably chance that those thoughts will shape your behavior and even your character. God says you are a good tree and that you are to bear good fruit. Then it will be evident what is in your heart. Pray about it.
Proverbs 23:7 (AMP) “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” Ras Robinson
