Journey in the company of the Holy Spirit,who "will teach you everything & will remind you of everything I have told you" John 14:26
Change is a necessary part of God's strategy.To use us to change the world, he alters our assignments.

We praise God we are together today!

Pastor Massimo Lorenzini of First Baptist Church of Espanola reports that they had a Great Praise Night, last night, with two sister Church's in Espanola. Pastor says it was a taste of heaven!
Pastor Leonard Navarre of Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood says the Church is growing.... all time attendance.... and the Church is going ahead with plans to build a new auditorium.
Pastor Mark Scales of Heights Christian Church says that Sunday was a Tremendous Day of Praise and Worship at Heights!

I believe the Body of Christ is coming together here in New Mexico......Walls are coming down.......we are stressing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ........Reading God's word.......spending at least an hour a day with God.......listening.......praying..reading HIS word........
Jeffery L. Sheler writes in his book on the Life of Rick Warren........
In a sense, the history of evangelicalism has been an almost continuous process of revival and reform, of people carving out and maintaining a religious identity separate from some other group or set of beliefs that they considered to be out of synch with a proper understanding of Scripture. It is a corrective impulse that goes back to the start of the Protestant Reformation in the early 1500's and to even earlier purifying movements in Christian history.
The spark that ignited the Reformation was Martin Luther's personal "rediscovery of the Gospel"- his embrace of essential New Testament teachings that he believed had been obscured in the Roman catholic Church. In nailing his Ninety-five Theses to the cathedral door at Wittenberg, Luther had staked out the revolutionary view that God's grace was the sole basis of salvation for the sinner and was to be appropriated through faith alone (sola fide), unmediated by the Church, as revealed through the Bible alone (sola scriptura), the only infallible authority on matters of faith. Those central tenets of the Reformation who also would become key elements of modern evangelical belief.
Over the next two centuries, the theological uprising launched by Luther would sweep across Europe, spawning new movements and denominations that increasingly emphasized personal piety and individual accountability over Church tradition and authority. In American Colonies, that egalitarian message would be fanned into a roaring fire in the 1740's by the revivalist preaching of Methodism founder John Wesley, Congregationalist Minister Jonathan Edwards, and Anglican evangelist George Whitefield-----key figures in what would become known as the Great Awakening. In Church's and meetings halls and in outdoor gatherings from New England to Georgia, seekers by the thousands enthusiastically cam to embrace a populist gospel that emphasized the necessity of the "new birth"-----the belief that salvation was a gift from God, to be received with assurance by repenting of sin and placing one's faith in Jesus Christ as savior, RATHER THAN BY ENGAGING IN CHURCH RITUALS!
The Great Awakening would have a lasting impact on evangelism and on the course of Christianity in the United States of America!
ARE YOU READY???? Sharon and I are ready for Another GREAT, GREAT, GREAT AWAKENING!!! It is the only thing that will save these United States of America........a GREAT AWAKENING IS NEEDED IN OUR LORD!!!
Let me hear from you!
Last week we reported on the 108 yr old WWI vet who testified before Congress on a monument........Today we remember those who fought at Pearl Harbor.......My dad, Marine Sgt. Wally Moede was on the scene after the attack......he was just coming in to Pearl Harbor.........
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii - Retired firefighter Ed Johann was a teenage apprentice seaman on Dec. 7, 1941, when he spotted Japanese planes coming in over Pearl Harbor.
He thought they were U.S. aircraft conducting drills until explosions and flames erupted from stricken ships in the harbor.
Then came screams of sailors; the stench of burning oil and flesh.
The 86-year-old Oregonian is due to return Monday to Pearl Harbor for the first time since World War II to attend a ceremony marking the 68th anniversary of the attack.
"I really don't know how I'm going to handle it," said Johann, from his home in Oregon. "When I think about it, all I have is unpleasantness. I'm sure it's not like that now."
Then, he and two other sailors were waiting to ferry passengers on a small boat to and from the USS Solace, a hospital ship that was moored in Pearl Harbor.
Johann's motor launcher boat rushed to the USS Arizona, which was hit by several bombs, one of which struck her forward ammunition magazines and set off a massive explosion. Already fueled and manned when the attack began, their 30-foot boat was the first rescue vessel to arrive at the scene.
They found the water littered with people — some wounded, some dead, some unharmed. Many were covered in the leaking oil from the ships.
They loaded as many as they could and delivered them to the hospital ship before returning to the USS West Virginia for more.
"As we're pulling them out of the water, a lot of times the skin would come right off the arm," Johann said. "They would just be black with oil, except maybe you could see the white of their eyes."
The planes kept coming. Dive-bombers plunged out of the sky, dropping bombs and strafing the water and ships with machine gun fire before roaring back up for another round. Torpedo bombers flew in level to drop their submersible weapons for underwater assaults.
The burning, sinking vessels at first lowered men into Johann's makeshift rescue boat. But some sailors started to panic and jump into their small ship, forcing it to pull away so it wouldn't sink too.
"Some of the sailors would be like in shock and some of 'em would be like going out of control, screaming and hollering," Johann said.
The next morning — after nervously worrying the Japanese planes would return — Johann's boat unloaded men from the Solace who failed to make it through the night and delivered them to land.
"We had them stacked like cordwood in our boat. The open end where the feet was sticking out was these big brown tags that said 'unknown, unknown,'" Johann said. The military hadn't adopted dog tags yet and many couldn't be identified.
The attack sank four U.S. battleships and destroyed 188 U.S. planes. Another four battleships were damaged, along with three cruisers and three destroyers.
More than 2,200 sailors, Marines and soldiers were killed.
"We didn't survive by any skill," Johann said of his boat. "It was just luck, pure luck. Because all we were concentrating on was trying to save people, and not save ourselves."
Johann served the rest of the war on the USS Wright, a seaplane tender. After 1945, he returned to California where he worked in sawmills before moving to Portland, Ore. where he spent 28 years as a firefighter. He retired to a beach cottage in Lincoln City and where he served on the city council, helping build hiking trails and campaigning against domestic violence.
Every Fourth of July, he goes to bed early to avoid the fireworks because they remind him of Pearl Harbor's explosions. Even so, the blasts keep him awake.
But the horrors he went through also led him to become a firefighter.
"I think I had it in my mind," Johann said, "I wanted to help people."
For years, Johann said he wouldn't go to the annual observance in Hawaii in honor of those killed in the attack. But now that he's 86, it seemed liked a good idea.
"If I'm ever going to do anything like that I'd better do it now," Johann said. His son, who lives on Maui, will accompany him.
It is very sad to see our greatest generation leave us........many heroes........Let us RISE........LET US BECOME A GREAT GENERATION WITH GREAT AWAKENING.........IT IS UP TO YOU AND ME!!!!!
WILL YOU JOIN US??????????
Let us pray..........
Lord, let your people AWAKE! Let us rise up for YOU! Let us gather together in a GREAT AWAKENING FOR YOU, FATHER! In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
