Dear KKIM Family,
May you grow closer to the LORD this day!!!
MEN: To undervalue your wife, it is one of the gravest mistakes you could make! Tony Evans
AMEN!!! Read 1 Peter 3:7……..please do that now before continuing to drink this CUP! It pertains to just what Tony Evans said……..
Your wife is stronger than you think! I had a friend Tom Johnson point that out to me months ago, it awoken further love for Sharon in me……..I had underestimated Sharon’s strength.
I have to say that I am a firm believer in all of us having mentor’s, having people around us to tell us things we need to hear….things that God has told them to tell us! I see this as a huge problem in the Body of Christ………surrounding ourselves with people that just tell us what WE want to hear, not what WE NEED to hear!
My prayer is that each day you drink this CUP with your Bible in hand.
WOW WEE! Hallelujah!! What a day yesterday!! A day of miracles!
Yesterday I am sitting in the control room of KKIM and finishing the CUP as the Computer at home is just gotten wore out……..this is 5:30 in the morning as I finish the CUP and get ready for a live break during our Radio-A-Thon. The lovely man on the phone says, “Dewey I read on the CUP that you need a computer!” I said, “Yes, In fact I ordered one yesterday from Angelo Winfield yesterday…He said, “We are going to pay for it!!” I wept…….I wept……..More to the story……Karen Rowe told me on Tuesday to order the Computer in faith and to not let the blessing of the CUP be taken….order the computer on faith….I ordered it and then a mentor of mine, Pastor, calls (he does not want his named used, he said it is all for the Glory of God) and it’s all paid for! I wept more and more…..
I wept much yesterday…….tears of joy and blessings…..one of the problems with us these days is that we don’t cry enough…tears of our Lord……
There is more…………Even is this economy……..WE WENT PASS OUR GOAL OF 150 Children yesterday!!!!!!!!!! We are on our way to 200!!!! Thanks to all of you who helped rescue Children in Haiti!!! You can still take part or add on to what you have already given as we now go forth www.mykkim.com has all the details! KKIM listeners did not let man’s economy stop them……we are on God’s economy!!!! Thank you for hearing the cry of the poor!
I was even getting calls last night after I got off the air, people saying they still wanted to give! A Doctor said he was so moved by what he heard he had to call in and wanted to come down and give me a check…..I directed him to www.mykkim.com or the toll free number 1-866-843-9500
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED: This part of about giving and being blessed has been tarnished by the Church and too many Ministries and Evangelists, too many have done what an unbelieving world wants to see……It has hurt solid Ministries like Cross International and KKIM and most Ministries, it’s the few that do the damage. I myself have learned by my relationship with Jesus Christ…….that the Holy Spirit will move me when it is time to give and I give, even if I don’t see that I have it, but then it comes back to me in many ways…….We have to give with a pure heart……..and receive with a pure heart………no other motive……..no other motive…….The key to a life in Jesus Christ is a pure heart for Him……an ear that hears Him. To act when we hear Him, even if we do not see it!
In his book, Kingdom Man, Tony Evans says that Psalm 128 is the mantra of a Kingdom man…….
“How blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
Who walks in His ways.
When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands,
You will be happy and it will be well with you.
Your wife shall be happy and it will be well with you.
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine within your house.
Your children like olive plants
Around your table.
Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears the Lord.
The Lord bless you from Zion,
And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Indeed, may you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!”
In this Psalm, David outlines the life of a Kingdom Man. he begins with the personal life of a man who fears the Lord: “How blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways. When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands, you will be happy and it will be well with you.”
Read that again…….How is your walk with Jesus doing? Yesterday I witnessed a Christian man lying……to another Christian man and women. These are the kind of things that an unbelieving world loves to see. There is too much of this in the Body of Christ!
I was asked so what do you think Dewey? I said, and I really mean this: I try not to do something stupid everyday…….If we keep focused on walking right beside Jesus we all would be better off…….if we would just think and know that Jesus hears and sees everything…….We must not embarrass our Lord.
Simple things..but the flesh struggles so much at times…….
Daddy used to say, “Sometimes the less said, the better………..the Lord just gave me those words……
I am seeing more clearly in my life the fruit of my hands…….can you see the fruit you have produced?
What if we all took a moment right now to stop and be silent and in our minds picture the fruit you have produced over your life time……..PRAISE GOD!
David writes about the family of a Kingdom man……”Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine within your house, your children like olive plants around your table.”
Next, David talks about the Kingdom man in relation to the church: “The Lord bless you from Zion.”
And David concludes with the Kingdom Man and his community, including his greater society and his legacy: “And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. Indeed, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.”
The blessing comes when a Kingdom Man fears the Lord and walks in His ways in his personal life.
How is your walk with Jesus Christ?
Here is a touching poem sent in my Jim Hofflander who sometimes just has bread to eat and night to fill his stomach……
I am on Social Security -- but my security is in the Lord I have a low income -- but am richly blessed by God I've been homeless -- but my eternal home awaits me in Heaven I've been in mental hospitals -- but my stability is in Jesus
How touching……let us pray on this…….
Would you now go to Philippians-Chapter 4 Verses 11-13. Please read that, it is one of my life verses given to me years ago by Anita Price…….it has meant so much to me over the years…….
Here is another touching story……DON’T YOU JUST LOVE THE CUP OF SHARING!!!!! THANKYOU LORD!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for gathering here at the CUP each day!!!!!!!!!!!!

This morning as I was eating my breakfast at the table with my grandson Connor who is 2 years old. I was reading out of my Bible John 12:12-19. I was getting some study time in for Palm Sunday. Soaked into the word, I was awaken by the sound of Connor saying to me “Bible, my Bible”. I realized that Connor had been watching me and wanted to first copy me in what I was doing and the second thing was that he wanted to please me. So I ran to get his Bible from the family room and placed it next to him. I stopped my study and read to him 2 or 3 quick stories out of the Bible for Connor. He was so please and excited to hear about Jesus and just how much He love us.
This reminded me that we need to set a good example to our children and yes even our grandchildren because they are watching us. Paul said follow me as I follow Christ. Jesus said to have faith like a child. My grandson is just learning at 2 to talk and express himself of his need. Today I saw his need to know God’s word and to have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Please take the time to encourage the next generation to know Jesus our Lord and Savior.

A Community Before Christ
More sharing by Darlene Quiring…………
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” (Mt. 25:40)
Here is both a rewarding encouragement and a warning that should bring us up short. Whatever we do to Christ’s brethren is reckoned as being done unto Himself.
We can show kindness to the Lord Jesus any day by showing kindness to a fellow-believer. When we show hospitality to God’s people, it is the same as if we entertain Him in our homes. If we give them the master bedroom, we are giving it to Him.
Almost anyone would be quick to do everything possible for the Savior if He came as King of kings and Lord of lords. But He commonly comes to our door in very humble guise, and it is this that puts us to the test. The way we treat the least of His brethren is the way we treat Him.
A godly old preacher visited an assembly in hopes of being able to share with the saints from the Word. He did not have personal charisma and may not have had a dynamic pulpit style. But he was a servant of God and did have a message from the Lord. The elders told him that they could not ask him to stay for meetings and suggested that he go to a meeting in the black ghetto. He did, and was warmly received by the brethren there. During his week of meetings, he took a heart attack and died. It was as if the Lord was saying to the brothers in the fashionable assembly, “You may not have wanted him but I did. In refusing him you refused Me.”
In his poem “How the Great Guest Came,” Edwin Mark-ham tells of an old cobbler who made elaborate preparations for a dreamed-of visit from the Lord. The Lord never came. But when a beggar came, the cobbler put shoes on his feet. When an old lady came, the cobbler helped her with her load and gave her food. When a lost child came, the cobbler took her back to her mother.
Then soft in the silence a voice he heard:
Lift up your heart, for I kept my word.
Three times I came to your friendly door;
Three times my shadow was on your floor.
I was the beggar with bruised feet,
I was the woman you gave to eat,
I was the child in the homeless street.
Thank you Darlene!
Day 38 of our 40 Day Journey Buried in Borrowed Tomb
Isaiah 53:9 Old Testament Prophecy
And when he was dead, he was buried with the disgraced
in borrowed space (among the rich)
Even though he did no wrong by word or deed.
Fulfilled in Jesus Matthew 27: 57-60
At eveining time, a rich man from Arimathea arrived. His name was Joseph, and he had become a disciple of Jesus. he went to Pilate and asked to be given Jesus body; Pilate assented and oprdered his servants to turn Jesus body over to Joseph. So Joseph took the body, wrapped Jesus in a clean sheath of white linen, and laid Jesus in His own new tomb, which he had carved from a rock.
Joseph of Arimathea had become a disciple of Jesus. he was honoring Jesus the only way he knew how; little did Joseph know that three days later Jesus body would not need a tomb anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus’ Last Words on the Cross
The hill is quiet now. Not still but quiet. For the first time all day there is no noise. The clamor began to subside when the darkness—that puzzling midday darkness—fell. Like water douses a fire, the shadows doused the ridicule. No more taunts. No more jokes. No more jesting. And, in time, no more mockers. One by one the onlookers turned and began the descent.
That is, all the onlookers except you and me. We did not leave. We came to learn. And so we lingered in the semidarkness and listened. We listened to the soldiers cursing, the passersby questioning, and the women weeping. But most of all, we listened to the trio of dying men groaning. Hoarse, guttural, thirsty groans. They groaned with each rolling of the head and each pivot of the legs.
But as the minutes became hours, these groans diminished. The three seemed dead. Were it not for the belabored breathing, you would have thought they were.
Then he screamed. As if someone had yanked his hair, the back of his head slammed against the sign that bore his name, and he screamed. Like a dagger cuts the curtain, his scream cut the dark. Standing as straight as the nails would permit, he cried as one calling for a lost friend, “Eloi!”
His voice was raspy, scratchy. Reflections of the torch flame danced in his wide eyes. “My God!”
Ignoring the volcano of erupting pain, he pushed upward until his shoulders were higher than his nailed hands. “Why have you forsaken me?”
The soldiers stared. The weeping of the women ceased. One of the Pharisees sneered sarcastically, “He’s calling Elijah.”
No one laughed.
He’d shouted a question to the heavens, and you half expected heaven to shout one in return.
And apparently it did. For the face of Jesus softened, and an afternoon dawn broke as he spoke a final time. “It is finished. Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”
As he gave his final breath, the earth gave a sudden stir. A rock rolled, and a soldier stumbled. Then, as suddenly as the silence was broken, the silence returned.
And now all is quiet. The mocking has ceased. There is no one to mock.
The soldiers are busy with the business of cleaning up the dead. Two men have come. Dressed well and meaning well, they are given the body of Jesus.

March 30, 2012. A most precious lady we once knew had the habit of covering her mouth when she spoke. She was not one who liked to draw attention to herself. But just the opposite was true. She was awkward and retiring from the presence of almost everyone who knew her. Her talents were remarkable in every way. We grew to love her deeply. Once I knew she believed that my wife and I really loved and accepted her, I asked her about her noticeable habit. She would never say one way another. She took all this to her premature death and grave. Without reference to our dear friend in any way, the Lord is saying, “If you have done foolishly in exalting yourself, you may lay your hand over your mouth. But all you need really do is confess your sin, receive your forgiveness and walk in total liberty and joy. Receive My grace.”
Proverbs 30:32 (AMP) “If you have done foolishly in exalting yourself, or if you have thought evil, lay your hand upon your mouth.” Ras Robinson

March 30, 2012. I know you’re frustrated. This frustration is coming across to others as real anger. You don’t want that. Those involved will respond to the anger in an adverse way and not hear the important things you are saying. You have been dwelling on this for a long time and it has built up so much anger in you. It is like you are in a pressure cooker. I am the only One who can process your anger, because I know your heart. Pop off to Me. You need this until you can get it all in a logical thought out way where others can hear what you are saying. Act wisely and do this.
James 3:17 (AMP) “But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity).” Bev Robinson

March 30, 2012. Lay aside the spirit of timidity. I did not give that particular spirit to you. Instead I have given My power and a complete mindset. For too long My Church has become comfortable within the walls of where they meet together. It is good to assemble together with other believers in worship. Likewise it is good to get out beyond yourselves and deliver My good news to a lost and dying generation. Your dependence cannot be not upon you. I am the one who brings conviction of sin. I need you to play an active role in sharing the new life I bring. The Spirit of the Lord is upon you.

Here’s Doctor Joe with our Medical Bag!!!!!!!
Pills versus Lifestyle
Recently, in an act of desperation to turn back the tide of the obesity epidemic that now affects almost seven out of every ten Americans and over 80% of some populations (African American women), the advisory committee to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted 20 to 2 to recommend approval of Qnexa, a “new” obesity drug that is simply the combination of two older medications, phentermine (the “phen” of phen-fen”) and topiramate (Topamax).
This was an outrageously dangerous decision. Mounting evidence proves that the solution to lifestyle and diet-driven obesity-related illnesses including heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and even cancer, won’t be found in a prescription bottle.
By 2020, over 50% of the US adult population will have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, with annual costs approaching $500 billion. By 2030, total annual economic costs of cardiovascular disease in the US are predicted to exceed $1 trillion. By 2030, globally we will spend $47 trillion; yes trillion, to address the effects of chronic lifestyle-driven disease. Outrageous!
Prescription medication for lifestyle diseases has failed to barely dent the obesity and disease curve. Statins are known to increase the risk of diabetes in women by 48%. And large data reviews by independent international scientists from the Cochrane Collaborative found that statins only work to prevent second heart attacks, not first heart attacks, which means they are not helpful and most likely harmful for 75% of those who take them.
Avandia, the number one blockbuster drug for type 2 diabetes has caused nearly 200,000 deaths from heart attacks since it was introduced in 1999. The drug was designed to prevent complications of diabetes, yet heart attacks are the very disease that kills most type 2 diabetics. In 2011, the FDA issued stricter prescribing guidelines for Avandia, but the drug is still on the market. Outrageous!
The large ACCORD trial found in over 10,000 diabetics that intensive blood-sugar lowering with medication and insulin actually led to more heart attacks and deaths.
Something is deeply and outrageously wrong with the medical approach.
The problem of chronic disease, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, is not a medication deficiency, but a problem with what we put… at the end of our fork.
Why would good men and women of science vote to approve a medication for a condition that is a social disease and requires a social cure? The social, environmental, economic, and political conditions of America and increasingly the global community have created a fatty environment.
Something must be done. But it’s not better medication or surgery or more angioplasties and stents, which have no proven benefit in over 90% of those who receive them. The data shows they work for acute coronary events, but not stable angina or blockages.
We continue to pay for expensive treatments for chronic disease, despite the fact that they don’t work, while insurance does not pay for nutrition counseling unless the patient has kidney failure or diabetes. Outrageous!
Chronic disease is a food-borne illness. We ate our way into this mess and we must eat our way out.
Every year the average American consumes 24 pounds of French fries, 23 pounds of pizza, 24 pounds of ice cream, 53 gallons of soda (or a gallon each week), 24 pounds of artificial sweeteners, 2.7 pounds of salt, 90,700 mg of caffeine, and about 2,700 calories a day. And that’s just the average. Lord, convict us!
Do we really think that we can medicate our way of this problem with a repackaged old diet drug (phentermine), combined with an older anti-seizure medication (Topamax)? Both these drugs have dangerous side effects, including increased heart rate, heart attacks, and birth defects such as cleft lip.
Large studies published over many decades show that 90% of coronary heart disease cases, 90% of type 2 diabetes cases, and one-third of cancers can be avoided by maintaining a healthier diet, increasing physical activity, and stopping smoking. We must treat the cause, not the symptoms.
Mounting evidence points to the power of food to reverse heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, and even to lengthen our telomeres, slowing the aging process. In a recent study, intensive dietary change reversed advanced type 2 diabetes in only 12 weeks. There is no medication that can achieve those results.
There really is a simple solution to our obesity epidemic. But it’s not in a pill bottle. It’s at the end of our forks. It is simply more effective than any medication and works better, faster, and cheaper, not just as prevention, but also as treatment for what ails us. We can change our fatty environment through individual small choices we make every day, and making changes in our homes, our families, our schools, our workplaces, our churches. In Jesus’ name, we have the power to be well.
Thank you Dr. Joe! God Bless you!
