Peter replied, “Repent and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you
and your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” Acts 2:37-39

Oh, my friends I had never stomped my feet and jumped so much in delivering the Words that
my Lord gave me yesterday at the Lighthouse Church in Chamisal, NM. I hope that doesn’t scare
some of you! The Holy Spirit gives us POWER and it is available to everyone! Oh my friends
receive a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit this day! A Great day in the Lord it was has at Pastor Juan
Romero’s Church! I thank Juan for the trust he put in me. You have such an AWESOME Mom Juan
and your congregation was so attentive to the Word of God yesterday. I am thankful, just like my
lovely Uncle Joe told me, God gave me the Words to Preach, all Words were of God. I have much
help in my Preaching, solid mentor’s like Robert Lewis, Leonard Navarre, Jim Montoya, Larry Moss,
Paul Holt, Mark Tross and many others. Pastor’s that pray for me as I prepare to Preach. A Pastor
much turn his life over to our Lord and let the Holy Spirit bring him the message he is to deliver!
AMEN! Many came forward for prayer and healing yesterday. The Lord moved upon me to have
my friend Steve Minor come with me yesterday, since Sharon could not. Steve is a producer at
KAZQ. Steve for 20 years in his life battled alcohol and drugs, gang activity, spent time in jail. He
for the last 10 years of his life has been with the Lord, he is a shining example in our Lord what
happens when one turns their life over to our Lord. Steve did not know this but the Lord had big
plans for him yesterday, the Lord had told me to take Steve with me and Steve ended up Ministering
to many.
Praise God!!
This is Steve Minor and I was invited by Dewey to go and minister at Pastor Juans church
up north and again Praise God he moves in amazing ways, I had never seen Dewey preach
or been asked to step into this side of the ministry but I’m glad Brother Dewey invited me
thank you for doing this Dewey.
The drive and scenery in and of themselves were amazing and the members of the church
so friendly. Dewey delivered an inspired message, and then told the congregation
a little about me, and the miracles God has done in my own life (wasn’t expecting that)
after the message Dewey asked if people needed prayer, and at first it was a little slow
but then the Holy Spirit began to move through the crowd and quite a few of the members
from this little country church came down for prayer,
And we prayed for many healing’s, deliverance, and needs in general I was able to minister
and pray for a young man being held captive by drugs and alcohol, it was awesome,
I believe God is growing me into bigger and better things in my walk with him.
Thanks for the invite Dewey.
Steve Minor from KAZQ
Oh my friends I thank our Lord for Steve and his life for Christ! I thank Pastor Juan for inviting me to fill in for him. I love the call to be a Circuit Preacher!! Now I only need a horse.LOL LOL!!!! I so much love serving my Lord and going where ever He sends me.
I want to thank my Dear friend Paul Dokken, High School classmate of mine, for his love for my brother Daryl. Paul brought Daryl to Church yesterday in Sioux Falls, SD and took him to the Church picnic. Daryl is living in an assisted living center outside of Sioux Falls. Paul’s love is a great example for us all! PRAISE GOD!!!
We must never give up on people!!!!

Here is a note from Pastor Jim on Baptism in the Holy Spirit………
Brother Dewey:
I was moved by your Cup, to give you my position on Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
It was 1971, I had began my first professional job with the Forest Service in Arizona and I was searching for a renewed relationship with Jesus Christ. I had been spending many months riding horse
back in the Forest with a lot of time to seek God and find a a renewed relationship. At night I would study the word and during the day I would contemplate His Word and pray and seek Him.
One Sunday, I came to a Conservative Baptist Church and rededicated my life to the Lord Jesus. Pastor Van Ness of the Baptist Church said to me “You need to be baptized.” After some discussion, I obeyed his word and was baptized that evening. My act of obedience brought about an event that changed my life. Within two weeks after my baptism in water I encountered a man with a Streamline Trailer looking for fire agate, a semi-precious stone, at the Forest Ranger Station. As I explained where he could locate the agate, he said to me “I am a Lutheran Layman” and he laid his hand upon my head. Something wonderful happen to me. All of a sudden I had a vision of great love and compassion’s for Catholics and like droves of Catholics coming to the Lord. Also a word was given to in the form of a tongue not from the man but from the Lord.
I had received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit out in the Forest of Arizona on the job. I received power as a separate event as stated in Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the outermost part of the earth.”
I had never been taught about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit by any Church.
I attribute my experience to submission and obedience to God’s word and an openness to receive whatever He would give to me. (nine gifts listed in I Corithians 12, other gifts Romans 12:3-21.)
During the last forty years the Holy Spirit has continued to fill me with His Holy Spirit on the job and off the job in order to perform His ministry in me. He has given me His power to minister and serve in a manner that I could not have imagined I fill His power in me all the time. I want to be that conduit of God’s divine resources to meet human needs for His Honor and Glory.
Our Almighty God is Infinite in Power and Glory and of His Gifts, Grace and Mercy are innumerable as are His Attributes.
I encouraged those who have been taught that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a one time event when you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, to turn to you Bible and read His word and believe.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not upon your understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
We need the Body of Christ to receive the “Promise of the Father” and the gifting’s of the Holy Spirit.
Come Holy Spirit. To Him who seat upon the Throne be Honor and Glory Forever.
