New Mexico Pastor and His Church Are Under Attack

Pastor Dewey Moede

I am pictured here with Pastor Paul Jaramillo and his lovely bride Pat!

I am so very blessed to be best friends with Pastor Paul Jaramillo! I am so super blessed to know this man of God who is running for the Los Alamos, New Mexico School Board! He and his Church are under attack!!! This comes as no surprise because when you decide to firmly stand for GOD and do not waver to the ways of this dark world, the attacks come! I know Pastor Paul’s heart, I know Pastor Paul’s wife Pat, who spent 40 years as a teacher, they both love the LORD with all their heart, they love children. They have a growing congregation in Los Alamos! Satan is mad! Verbal, Ugly attacks have been going on.  Satan is raising his ugly head more than ever now in Los Alamos, BECAUSE A STRONG MAN OF GOD IS STANDING UP AND TAKING ACTION BY RUNNING FOR SCHOOL BOARD!!!! Not to mention the truth he speaks in the pulpit!  Many Christians are so very timid and do not speak up! I have been blessed to preach at Pastor Paul’s Church two times now, such a powerful congregation! Spiritual Warfare is hot and heavy in New Mexico and all of the world!

Paul Anthony Jaramillo Sr. is at Open Door Bible Ministry.

Ok so this is how low people are going to go in my sleepy town? Got it!! In John 15, Jesus made a statement to His disciples that warned the church to expect persecution. He said, “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own …” (vv. 18-19). That’s why John said, “Love not the world …” (1 Jn. 2:15). I have a feeling this is for both political and religious views. Anger and hate festers an evil spirit.
I feel blessed for all the right reasons!
HERE IS ONE OF THE RESPONSES TO PASTOR PAUL’S FACEBOOK POST:

Raul Granillo

Brother, I was preparing a message for Sunday this morning. A major part of that message is that most Christian Churches today are not Christian enough to earn attacks. Praise God that the enemy is intimidated by your ministry!

I have been working a bit with the New Mexico Business Coalition. I have been able to hook them up with some folks who are very sick and tired of the condition of New Mexico! I am very grateful for the efforts of Carla Sontag and her staff. Carla is spot on with this statement: “If we continue to work separately, however, we’ll continue to get the same results we’ve been experiencing.” AMEN! I will do my best to help Carla get the word out about this wonderful organization.  Christians need to come together more than ever right now. Time is urgent. Pastors and Churches need to unite. Communities need to unite! Our children are facing an evil world, is this what you want? I am sure it is not! So now is the time to act. Please click on the link below for more information to get started in making New Mexico a Christian state. Right now, New Mexico is ruled by anti-life politicians. This is a non-partisan effort, which I am very thankful for!!! Unite New Mexico! 

 

New Mexico Business Coalition

 

Paul wrote in Romans 13:1 “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”

 

The New Mexico Business Coalition (NMBC) was established in 2009 as a God-led mission to influence business policy and hold elected officials accountable. NMBC has had some incredible wins over that time on behalf of business owners and the people of this state. We have stopped many significant tax increases, egregious regulatory measures and held off the legalization of recreational marijuana for several years. We have been successful in removing some corrupt elected and appointed officials from office, including most recently a cabinet secretary who was operating contrary to a law that NMBC wrote and helped get passed in 2020.

 

Despite these efforts, our state is losing ground on every front. We’ve seen an increasing number of ungodly leaders take office at all levels of government. We’ve seen government mandates and legislation that have increased the killing of our unborn children and we’ve seen government decisions that have stripped away our God-given right to attend church. And, while our basic rights are stripped away, government mandates are now forcing people to choose to go along with the mandates or lose their jobs and their ability to take care of their families.

 

The time is now for believers to unite and exercise our right to speak the truth and get our state and country back to one that is God-led and following Godly principles.

 

How will we do this?  We are uniting believer-based leaders to join a growing army in our state the goal is not to replace the efforts of any group, but to strengthen them. Through this statewide effort, we can share important information on issues and candidates impacting their followers’ lives. We believe when people are armed with the truth, they’re more likely to vote, which will lead to better leadership in our state.

 

As a leader in this mission, you automatically become part of a leadership team that will meet regularly to discuss the issues and develop a plan to activate our army of like-minded individuals throughout the state. We know that in working with great people, like you, we can find the right path to a better New Mexico.

 

The statewide database we are creating will allow us to notify participants when an issue of interest arises. That includes a statewide focused effort at election time to elect believers who will guide New Mexico into a new direction. Our collective action and voice will increase our effectiveness in winning important victories.

 

We are available to answer questions and help you in any way.  We know that together, we can truly make a difference. If we continue to work separately, however, we’ll continue to get the same results we’ve been experiencing.

God Bless, Carla Sontag

High School Football Players Lead Postgame Prayer After Staff Banned From Doing So

PRAISE GOD FOR SUCH BOLDNESS!!!! PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD EVERYBODY!!! STAND FOR JESUS!!!!

FROM CHURCHLEADERS:

High school football players in Tennessee’s Putnam County School (PCS) System led parents and fans in a postgame prayer Friday night after coaches and staff were told that they were legally not allowed to do so themselves.

“Satan’s power was defeated tonight, as the threat of a legal action to forbid prayer after the game was overwhelmed by player lead [sic] prayer supported by parents and fans in solidarity on Overall Field,” said PCS alum Bob Vick in a Facebook post. “God bless the Baxter and Stone players for their faith and courage.”

How the church can bless the culture into spiritual awakening

Today is September 22, 2021 | Read time: 6 minutes | Read online

NOTE: Thank you to Ryan Denison for writing today’s Daily Article. He is the Denison Forum Senior Fellow for Theology and has written more than four hundred articles for Denison Forum.

A recent report out of England found that the country’s forty-two Anglican cathedrals contributed £235 million (roughly $321 million) to their local economies in 2019. Among that value included more than six thousand jobs and volunteer posts, accruing more than nine hundred thousand hours of service through food banks, support groups, and various outreach ministries to help their respective communities.

And such contributions are not unique to Great Britain.

In America, faith-based groups contribute more than $316 billion in savings to the US economy every year. In addition, congregations, religious institutions, and faith-based businesses contribute roughly $1.2 trillion of socio-economic value to the country, which is the equivalent of the world’s fifteenth largest national economy.

I bring these statistics up, however, not as an opportunity to congratulate ourselves for a job well done but rather to show just a small taste of the potential we have to bless our country and our community by serving others in the name of Jesus.

Why the global awakening is missing America

There is a Great Awakening going on in our world, and hundreds of thousands are being adopted into the family of God every day as a result. Muslims are coming to Christ in numbers never before seen in history. Similar stories are found in South Korea and China, where within the next ten years, their combined Christian populations are projected to pass America‘s.

But we’re not seeing it here, and there is little to indicate that will change on its own.

Matthew 8 could give us a hint as to why that is.

The chapter starts with Jesus coming down the hillside after delivering the Sermon on the Mount to encounter a leper and then a centurion. Both were in desperate need of his help and, because of the faith they demonstrated, both received the healing for which they asked (8:1–13). He then proceeded to do the same for the mass of people that followed him to Peter’s house (8:14–17).

Later on in the chapter, he and the disciples leave that area and encounter two demon-possessed men. Jesus heals them both, granting the demons’ request to instead inhabit a herd of pigs who are then driven off a cliff and die. The herdsmen fled and came back with a town’s worth of people who “begged him to leave their region” (8:28–34).

In both instances, people experienced the miraculous power of God. But while the first group responded with gratitude and faith, the townspeople at the end of the chapter asked Jesus to leave and wanted nothing to do with him. The difference is that those he healed were aware of how much they needed him. Those who sent him away were not.

That same pattern is at the heart of why some parts of the world are encountering Christ in powerful and transformative ways while, for most of the West, that’s simply not the case. Our culture just doesn’t understand why we need what Jesus has to offer.

So what can we do to help them take that step?

A different path to revival

In previous centuries, the Great Awakenings that helped shape so much of western culture—especially in America—began because a large segment of the population became increasingly aware of their need for God.

At times, as with the ministry of Jonathan Edwards, that happened through preaching and emphasizing the depravity of humanity. Far more often, though, it happened because people who thought God just didn’t care about them or that Christianity was just for the wealthy—one of the primary fallacies the First Great Awakening tried to correct—encountered the good news of Jesus from people who cared about them enough to share it.

Given the state of our culture today—where morality is largely subjective and the church is often seen as a barrier to progress—we are not going to convince many people that they need Jesus by just praying that God would change their hearts while criticizing all the ways in which their lives run counter to his teachings.

To be sure, prayer still has a very large role to play in helping our culture come to Christ, but if it essentially amounts to “God, please let them know how awful they are,” then we’re not going to see things improve very much.

I’d like to propose a different approach.

Revival starts with you

Instead of looking at the world around us and lamenting at how lost they seem to be, what if we shifted our focus instead to asking God how we can best bless the lives of those around us?

What if our prayers were less about what’s wrong with the world and more about what we can do to make it better?

In Genesis 12, God blesses Abraham so that, through Abraham, he might bless the world (Genesis 12:2). As Christians, we are heirs of that purpose.

What would it look like if we devoted a substantial amount of our time in prayer to asking the Lord how he wants to use us to bless the people we meet?

What kind of an impact could we make on our community if, instead of trying to figure out ways to get them into our churches, we chose instead to figure out ways to meet their needs where they are?

As mentioned at the start, the numbers don’t lie. A lot of Christians are already doing that, and it’s awesome. But if we want to see the Great Awakening that’s creating new believers across the globe come to our borders, then it’s going to take a level of intentionality and Spirit-driven focus that is often lacking in our communities of faith.

We may not change the narrative about our faith on a national level, but every person we meet is a chance to change it on a personal one. If we want to see revival, then it has to start there.

God has a plan to use each and every one of us to be a blessing in his name to the lost around us.

We just have to ask and then obey.

Will you?
