Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Thanks for stopping by for a CUP!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Let everyday be a day of Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ Psalm 69:30 Let me shout Gods name with a praising song, Let me tell his greatness in a prayer of thanks.
Sharon and I are so thankful to all of you for your love, FGGAM is a labor of love! The CUP has been a labor of love for 14 years now!
Thank you all for your love and prayers!
After Sharon’s presentation to the lovely women at Rock Rio Saturday night, she awoke Sunday morning with a fast beating heart with irregular beats. Remember she is a nurse, so getting her to see a Doctor is a Challenge ! LOL LOL me I would have been calling for an ambulance!!! LOL She went to work but her boss and nursing friends convinced her to go to Urgent Care and we spent the afternoon there getting an EKG and more tests will take place today. The EKG shows the irregular beat but the good news is Sharon did not have a heart attack! Please pray for complete healing and restoration. Her appointment today is at 9:30am.
Nurses are God’s angels here on earth, they take care of everyone, including the Doctor’s……..sometimes they have a hard time stopping and taking care of themselves.
This scripture is for all of us…especially this morning for my Sharon, Robin who is undergoing tests for cancer, Karen who has breast cancer, Randy praying this thanksgiving to be reunited with his children……….
“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—-from this time on and forever.” says the Lord.
Oh my the Words of our Lord…….I am so thankful this day and all days for the Bible. The Words and ways of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us take time this day and all days to be thankful for the Bible. I think we forget the Bible and it’s true meaning. It is so very precious, our very own book from our Lord Jesus Christ with how to live our lives.
I am just but a simple man who has a deep, deep passion to tell everyone of the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Here is more for my Sharon, Karen, Robin and Randy all all of us………
God said it, I’ve circled it, and that settles it. Circle God’s promises in your Bible.
There are more than 3,000 promises in your Bible from our Lord Jesus Christ. By virtue of what Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross, every one of them belongs to you and me. Every one of them has your name on it! The question is: How many of them have you circled?
The cover fell off one of my many Bibles yesterday………I circle the words in the Bible……..My prayer is that you wear out the cover of your Bibles!
Carry your Bible everywhere you go……..have one in your car, at your work, at your home…….refer to it during the day……..share it, have Bibles to giveaway………I have a box of Bibles in my car to give away when I find the appointed time to do so.
As I stated yesterday, awake early each day and spend at least an hour in reading the Bread of Life and praying and listening! AMEN!
That is the best prescription I can give mankind!!!!
Sharon and I have a passion to be Salt and Light to the World and show the Light of Jesus to one person at a time.
Sharon designed brochures for FGGAM, they just arrived yesterday, if you would like to help us get the word out about FGGAM and get a few from us, drop me an email! God Bless you!
Let me go into John a bit with you this morning, this is what the Lord put on my heart.
Yesterday I shared this from my Message Bible………
“I am he,” said Jesus. “you don’t have to wait any longer or look any further.” verse 26 in John 4
32-35 he told them, “I have food to eat you know nothing about.”
The disciples were puzzled. “Who could have brought him food?”
Jesus said, “The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started. As you look around right now, wouldn’t you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I’m telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what’s right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It’s harvest time!
The following was sent to me by our Dear, Dear friend Shari Hardway Johnson…..(By the way Shari and Karen Rowe will have Thanksgiving messages for us tomorrow and then we will take a break and be back with you on Monday, Lord Willing)
Years ago a farmer owned land along a WV mountain ridge top. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms in the higher
mountains. They dreaded the awful storms and blizzards that raged across the land, wreaking havoc on buildings and crops. As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals.
Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. “Are you a good farmhand?” the farmer asked him. “Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the little man.
Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man’s work.
Then one night the wind howled loudly and thunder boomed in the distance. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand’s sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, “Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!”
The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows.”
Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarps. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, the shutters were closed, firewood was neatly stacked by the kitchen door, and all the doors were barred shut. Everything was tied down. Nothing could possibly blow away.
The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.
When you’re prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically, you have nothing to fear. The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he had secured the farm against the storm. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life?
How well were you prepared for this storm?
– story modified from a sermon by my friend Pastor Tim.
This next POWERFUL message is from Leslie Montgomery………..
We all struggle with unbelief at one point or another in our walk with Christ, so that’s why I wrote today’s transformational devotion, Overcoming Unbelief. Enjoy, and have a blessed weekend!
When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples,
he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
Luke 22:45
“Exhausted from sorrow,” the disciples slept through a time when Jesus needed them the mos
t. He had warned them, saying “Pray that you will not fall into temptation” (Luke 22:40), then withdrew from them to pray by himself. Jesus did not ask the disciples to pray for him because of the looming destruction of his body or because he needed strength to endure. His request was for them to pray that they would not fall into temptation.
The Gospels of Matthew and Mark reveal that Jesus went away and returned three times to find the men sleeping. In response he said, “The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41). The Bible passage stating that the disciples were “exhausted from sorrow” and Jesus’ comment that their spirit was willing but their bodies weak give the impression that the disciples may have been grappling with anticipatory grief regarding his pending death. But what form of temptation did he want them to resist through prayer? He feared they would fall into unbelief, where hopelessness is found and vision is lost.
In the fall of 1998, I had the pleasure of meeting and developing a friendship with Joni Eareckson-Tada. At that time, Joni had been in a wheelchair for over thirty one years. She became a quadriplegic in 1967 from a diving accident. I was a prison Chaplain, and Joni and her staff worked with our people to form a program to restore wheelchairs for those who were physically disabled.
During a conversation over lunch Joni and I discussed her diving accident and she shared with me that initially she felt hopeless. Filled with anger towards God, she was consumed by a ‘why me’ attitude. But this led her nowhere. Confined to her bed, she became suicidal and ineffective for Christ. She lost her vision and bathed in unbelief as she couldn’t grasp how God could ever use her or her life for His purposes. Eventually she submitted to God’s plan for her life by believing in faith what Gods Word says about her in His Word, and in the years since, He has used her disability for His glory, helping literally thousands of people. Joni has been more successful in Christ without the use of her legs than most that have total use of their body. When it comes to unbelief, Smith Wigglesworth says it best:
God wants to sweep all unbelief from your heart. He wants you to dare to believe His Word. It is the Word of the Spirit. If you allow anything to come between you and the Word, it will poison your whole system, and you will have no hope. One bit of unbelief against the Word is poison. It is like the Devil putting a spear into you. The Word of Life is the breath of heaven, the life-giving power by which your very self is changed. By it, you begin to bear the image of the heavenly one.
Once again, if we do not have hope it’s because we have no vision. Without vision, men perish. Our vision must be God’s vision. His vision for us is described in His Word, so we must learn His Word, stand on it, and apply it to our lives.
‘Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen!” (Hebrews 11:1). Things hoped for and not seen are visions for the future. The invisible is more real and tangible than the visible. Faith is the foundation of all things in Christ, including transformation. We should not let life’s circumstances shipwreck our faith. We can trust, we can believe and we can walk in faith. We should ask the Lord right now to increase our faith, remembering that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
As I close, look at where in your heart you carry unbelief about who God is and what He’s promised for us in His Word. Follow this with confession in prayer and asking God to heal your unbelief. In Mark 9, a father who lacked faith that Jesus could heal his son asked Jesus to help him overcome his unbelief (v. 24), and Jesus told him, “Everything is possible for him who believes.”
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
