Dear Dewey’s Daily Cup Readers,
Good morning to you and I hope this letter finds you well. Pray the Lord’s Prayer with me as we prepare our heart to listen to the Holy Spirit speak to us and bring any of our spiritual-hindering needs to our mind.
“Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”
For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory forever and ever …
Amen.
I hope this article on Confession helps and encourages us to seek freedom from all burdensome things that can weigh us down:
1st Let us turn to God’s Word to prepare our mind for Understanding; as we listen to God speak to our heart:
14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil.16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. James 3:14-17
From The Train Whistle Chapter, Dedicate your Heart to Follow Jesus:
Confession Helps Us Understand; God Already Knows
Confession is communication, sharing deep feelings that are hindering to our relationships with God and others. Confession is seeking understanding and forgiveness with the power to change. More about God than about me, confession requires faith and trust in God. The miracle of confession is His way to get bitterness, turmoil, and confusion from on the inside of us to the outside of us so that we can move forward and upward in our relationships and with God. If you harbor bitter envy or selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth (see James 3:14).
Confession is a way to search our own hearts with eyes of God and ears of God to listen to God’s still voice of truth that comes with wisdom from heaven about how to move on. Confession has a purpose to seek the peace of God with a willing heart to change. Peace is harmony in our being with God in our spirit/heart, mind/soul, and body with Jesus in our hearts. With confession, we submit our wills to God.
The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7:10
Learn to recognize the peace of God alive and living in your heart and soul. God’s peace is wonderful and a beautiful place to remain in. Only by the grace of God can we experience the peace of God alive in our lives. God’s peace is my tuning tool for me to recognize when I need to confess in my walk with Jesus.
Confess is a word with meaning that is good for our souls. When we confess, we are hearing our mouths tell God what he already knows. Many times we cannot see forward until we hear our mouths speak what is truly on our hearts.
When we confess to God, we are not condemned—we are set free in the truth.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. John 3:17-19
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word has no place in our lives. 1 John 1:9-10
Speaking to my husband and prayer are two such ways that I confess to God. With a mind set on prayer with God, I can confess what is jumbled in my heart. Find someone you genuinely can trust and ask them just to listen to you talk it out. Ask them not to try to fix you but simply allow you to talk to their nonjudgmental listening ear. Ask them to pray for you as you listen to God. I confess in order to align my heart with God, this is my way to get back in step with the Spirit.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:16
The greater our commitment to God, the greater our flight of life with God is. God is dedicated to us in his love. We can show God how much we love him by worshiping and doing the right thing.
Come to Jesus and allow him to cradle you up to a kindred place with God.
I hope this was a blessing to you!
I thank Pastor Leonard Navarre for teaching me the meaning of confession at just the right time… Simply said, “Confession is Telling God what He Already Knows.” This simple truth when applied will allow us to grow deeper in our understanding as we experience the grace of God working through our lives and our hearts! I encourage you to listen to his ministry on KKIM; or if you are looking for a church home in his location, I know he would welcome you.
Closing Thought from Angela Dawn Seldon
It is 2:30 in the morning and all is quiet, except my mind. I am thinking of something we all cannot stop. There are reminders all around us. We run our lives by it, darkness and light separate it, and still there is nothing to stop it. Have you guessed what it is? TIME is out of our control. Every second, minute, hour, day, month, and year always comes. It does not matter who you are, where you are, how rich or how poor one is you cannot stop time. What you do with it is another theme. In the scriptures, God always says TODAY, never tomorrow. So, what are you going to do this day? This is the day he has made for us. Only you can know what you are going to do with the TIME you have been given…
Thank you for joining all of us at Dewey’s Daily Cup! I pray you are blessed by this Today and that you have a good day Today…and if your day is a day of facing trials, I pray you have the God’s Grace & Wisdom fully in you to remain in Jesus and follow His Light who will lead you through!
I am hearing good reports from Dewey, who is at the National Religious Broadcasters Conference! …and Praise God…100’s of souls are being saved in India as Pastor Leonard is serving God in a humble way in this mission trip …as he has answered this call that God has led him to be there. People are hearing the good news that is found in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God!
The Most Important Confession we can make: Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, who came as man (the Lamb of God
and died as sin for all who will believe… and rose as Christ to live with God for a purpose that we too will rise with Him and live eternity Forevermore with God!
If you have not accepted Jesus as your savior yet (or if you know someone who needs their Savior…Then reach out to them), remember that this is the day that is acceptable to the Lord. Just talk to God and confess what is on your heart to Him Today…just tell God you believe who Jesus is and what Jesus has done for you…
{If you are not ready, or don’t feel worthy, I turn that thought around to you with a Bigger Question…How can you refuse Jesus now?}
Receive Jesus in your life; and by your faith in Jesus, you are saved.
Love in Christ, Karen Rowe

Office Space Needed –
Hello,
My name is Debra Neri. I’m 50 years old and a survivor of Breast Cancer, not only once but twice. I’m a single Mom of three sons and preparing to do what I love for my career and for the rest of my life.
When I had a second Mastectomy in 2009, my plastic surgeon was not able to finish my reconstruction and tattooing. I had no job or money and as God would have it, I met a wonderful woman in the permanent make-up business, who finished the tattooing at no charge. That was one of the kindest gifts I’d ever been given.
In the last six months, I attended, The Institute for Permanent Make-up and Tattoo Removal and training to be a Permanent Make-up Artist & Eyelash Extensionist. I now have all the tools & training to start this career. Now, I’m able to give the same gift to other women, that I received. This is a service, that for me, will be very rewarding for my clients and myself.
I’m looking to rent a space for my Permanent Make-up and Eyelash Extension business. The room needs to be about 16′ x 12′ with a door that locks. A salon is a good match. I’ve been marketing and have many clients who are waiting for me to have a business location. I have a part-time merchandising job and preparing to attend The Aveda Institute to be an Esthetician, beginning in March and ending in July, to expand services for clients. I’d be willing to share a room, although I need to have access at a variety of times to accommodate clients. The sooner I can get in a place, the sooner I can get started.
I’m preferably looking for a salon in the NW area of Albuquerque, which could include Rio Rancho & Corrales. 16′ x 12′. With access to a bathroom & parking.
Thank you for forwarding this email to those who are looking to rent a space.
God Bless,
Debra Neri

Dr. Joe’s Medical Bag-
The World is facing a “massive” rise in antibiotic-resistant blood poisoning caused by the bacterium E.coli – bringing closer the danger of diseases worldwide as impossible to treat.
Experts say the growth of antibiotic resistance now poses as great a threat to global health as the emergence of new resistant strains of diseases such as Aids and pandemic flu.
Slow but insidious growth of resistant organisms is threatening to turn common infections into untreatable diseases. Already, an estimated 25,000 people die each year in the European Union from antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria kill more than 40,000 North Americans a year, and the numbers will soar because the so-called super-germs are becoming out of control.
Decades ago, these species could be wiped out with a single dose of penicillin. But overuse of antibiotics gave the bacteria a chance to develop new genes that protected them.
Professor Peter Hawkey, a clinical microbiologist and chair of the British government’s antibiotic-resistance working group, said that, “It is a worldwide issue – there are no boundaries. We have very good policies on the use of antibiotics in man and in animals in the UK. But we are not alone. We have to think globally.” Between 2005 and 2009 the incidence of E.coli “bacteremias” (the presence of bacteria in the blood) rose by 30%, from 18,000 to over 25,000 cases. Those resistant to antibiotics have risen from 1% at the beginning of the century to 10%.
Only one in 20 of infections with (resistant) E.coli is a bacteremia, so the above data are only the tip of an iceberg of infected individuals,” says a report produced by Professor Hawkey’s group, commissioned by the Department of Health and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
“There are only so many antibiotics available and as we lose them it becomes more and more difficult to replace them,” Professor Hawkey said.
The rapid rise in E.coli blood poisoning is thought to be linked with the aging of the population. E.coli is a common cause of urinary-tract infections but may also cause wound infections following surgery or injury. These are regarded as minor conditions, but if they became untreatable they would be life-threatening.
E.coli infections pose a much bigger problem than MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a strain of staph bacteria that does not respond to some antibiotics that are commonly used to treat staph infections) because the bacterium is more common. Only one in 10 people is a carrier of MRSA, but E.coli is present in everyone. “Those who get ill (with E.coli) are rare – but because it is so common it is a big problem,” Professor Hawkey said.
Using standard antibiotic regimens, there is a one in 10 chance that treatment of an E.coli infection will fail because the bug is resistant. But, as the numbers of resistant infections rise, there will be increasing pressure to use more powerful antibiotics, called carbapenems, which are the last line available. And resistance to those is already emerging. “In the last two or three years we have seen (organisms) develop which destroy carbapenems. That is a great worry,” Professor Hawkey said.
How bacteria adapt to beat antibiotics
“Bugs” are like all other life forms: they must adapt to survive. Reproduction is so rapid among bacteria that they can change in months or years.
Most bacteria are killed by a new drug but the natural variation that occurs in any species means a few examples may, by chance, have some quirk in their genetic structure that allows them to survive.
These bacteria are then selected out by the antibiotic, which kills the rest. The mutant bacteria grow in numbers until they become the dominant species.
One of the biggest areas of antibiotic misuse is by doctors who prescribe them to complaining patients with viral infections.
Antibiotics do not work against viruses and the more often an antibiotic is given, the more likely a person’s natural bacteria will become resistant.
Adding to the medical overuse of antibiotics, North American livestock have been fed small doses of antibiotics as a growth promoter since the 1950s.
As a result, livestock serve as a reservoir of drug-resistant germs.
The biblical aspects of this article
This article caught my eye and held my attention so much so that I had to share it with you. Why? Because it is truly “biblical” in more ways than one. In Revelation 6: 8, we read about the Fourth Seal opened upon the Earth that causes a fourth of its people to be destroyed by four separate “things” one of which is a death by diseases caused by the very things this article talks about.
Regardless of your “belief” that yours or my generation will or will not experience these horrific Seals and Trumpets – it absolutely doesn’t matter – what matters is that it’s critical for you take care of your body, the Temple of the Holy Spirit right now…today and from here out until the Lord calls you Home. For if you don’t take care of yourself, IF you don’t practice everyday prevention, you will weaken your body and you will be highly susceptible to dangerous bacterial and viral manifestations that are upon us now.
Almost 80% of your immune system is in the small intestine; your gut. E.coli also gets into the gut via the mouth and then into the blood system to cause a terrible health crisis, which this article tells us there is soon to be no cure for it.
If you haven’t already, please accept my challenge to you to begin now to commit your body, mind, emotion and will, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to the Lord everyday by making it a strong haven for a vibrant immune system.
