Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
May the peace and the strength of our Lord be with you and yours. Our Lord is the only one that can gives us TRUE PEACE and TRUE STRENGTH! The only one that can give you peace and strength at the same time, you can be peaceful and yet have the strength to bring down Goliath.
“When you’re doing the work of God, it’s easy to find the needed inspiration for the project. George Okpara, who raised money for repairs of the organ of Minnesota’s first Back Church.
I am very thankful to the Lord for what He is doing here at FGGAM, when God gives you a mission you must do it. You must put all your heart and soul into it.My life verse is, My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24
I become sad when people lose their passion for a ministry, or for anything God has given them. Have you had passion then lose it? Did God move you out or did you do it on your own? I have been teaching and preaching for years that we must have a personal relationship with God to hear Him speak to us through the Holy Spirit, our messenger of God. I get concerned when people tell me, The Lord has me moving in a different way……..yes that is possible, but is that God or you. I get this a lot in counseling, the Lord has told me……but we must be people of maturity and seek Godly counseling to make sure we are hearing from God and not just going off on our own because we want to. I thank the Lord for Spiritual discernment, it is something that the Lord has given me and is using me to counsel many. I am doing more counseling than ever,it seems that over the last 3 months the Lord has made that a focus of FGGAM. We do not charge. We depend on folks like you to support FGGAM. Counseling is draining. Emotionally and physically. I have people that text me everyday to let me know how they are doing. I do this with the Godly passion that has been given to me by Him. I do not just meet with these people, I love on them and stay in contact with them. Pastor Derek Smith of Legacy Church who is on Dewey and Friends this week said the Church needs to take people under their wing, and not just do a hit and run when folks join the church, the same holds true for counseling.
If I cannot help a person I refer them. This is all about God and His people. I am in the trenches each day for God, for His glory alone. One person at a time. As we say at FGGAM, Bringing the light of Jesus Christ to the world, one person at a time.
God has given me this work to do. When that takes place, just like George said, When your doing the work of God inspiration comes easy. I get sad when other people don’t have that. I know the prescription for a life for God, I take it constantly everyday day, minute by minute, it’s the medicine of prayer, praise and listening to God. It beats everything!
Are you living each moment of your life for God?
Too many have the passion of a wet noodle! LOL! How about you?
Read this please……….
Dewey,
I just want you to know that I am greatly encouraged by your CUPs. You are such a prolific writer that I can’t keep up with all of them, but when I am able to take the time to read them, I am blessed and encouraged. Know that you are doing what the Lord calls you to do, and I am doing likewise. It is a blessing and a joy to be doing what God has called you to do.

AMEN! Doug!
