Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Thank you so much for stopping by here at the CUP! God Bless you!

This is the Word of God that was given to me today in my prayers………

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phil 4: 8-9

I am sad this day for my Dear Friends David Standridge and Janice Arnold Jones and also Judge Sam Winder and Heather Wilson. I know all four personally and they are wonderful people who ran a Godly campaign.

Years ago when Heather served New Mexico in Washington DC I was able to sit and talk to her in her office for about an hour! I really saw a women with a true heart for God’s people. That is when I served on the Arc of NM Board, she was a strong supporter, she won the White hat award that year from the Arc! David Standridge has been a dear friend and mentor of mine for 15 years! This man is a strong man of God who left everything on the field.He and his wife Debbie and two sons teamed together to run a wonderful Godly campaign. Janice Arnold Jones has been a dear friend for 7 years. She has always made herself available to interviews on the spur of the moment even in stressful situations. I had the Godly honor of being in on the initial meeting to explore her run for Governor. Janice is one of the most intelligent Politicians I have ever met. Judge Sam Winder who I first met in May at the National Day of prayer event at Cross of Hope where we both spoke is a very honorable man who was a light for Jesus Christ here in New Mexico while he served.

I am thankful to know these four folks. They are role models for us all. They lost in their election bid, but they are the Light of Jesus Christ and role models for us all. We must continue to be Salt and Light and occupy until our Lord Jesus Christ returns. We must continue to stand in the gap for God. Standing in the gap for the sanctity of life and marriage. Standing in the gap for Biblical principals.

God led me to this scripture last night…….

1 Peter 4: 12-19
12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15 If you suf

fer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” 19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good

I remind you what I posted yesterday the Words given to me by our Lord Jesus Christ…….I posted them on the CUP yesterday……
Do not be surprised by anything.

This is the World we live in…………..

(Undated) — Voters in Colorado and Washington state approved measures legalizing marijuana for recreational use. Colorado’s measure allows people 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of marijuana and grow up to six plants. The law calls for taxing and regulating marijuana like alcohol and allows for the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp. Washington’s initiative legalizes possession of up to an ounce of marijuana and takes effect on December 6th. A similar measure went up in smoke in neighboring Oregon.

>>Maine, Maryland Voters Approve Same-Sex Marriage

(Undated) — Maine and Maryland voters have opened the door for same-sex couples to marry. It’s the first time voters anywhere have approved ballot measures to allow same sex marriage. The issue had been defeated in 30 states, including Maine in 2009. A similar measure is narrowly ahead in Washington state, where ballots are still being counted. Minnesota voters rejected a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage.

After these stories broke, God gave me this scripture for you………..

John 12:37-43

Even after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him. This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere: “He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn–and I would heal them.” Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him. Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

I will not argue right from wrong….the Bible is our reference point on how to live our lives is the bottom line. In the worst of economic times since the depression, this election saw the most money spent ever on advertising, for what? status quo? It takes a change of heart….it takes a personal relationship with Jesus Christ to know right from wrong.

Sharon and I here at FGGAM will continue to be Salt and Light to the World carrying out the Great Commission, showing the Love of Jesus Christ. We must not be angry and shout out anger to the World, we have done that too much where it has hurt the testimony of the Body of Christ. In your personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, He will give you the Words to speak.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Matt. 5:9
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15

One of my prayers is that the people of the United States will not be like a car stuck in mud spinning it’s wheels wildly and turning to the left and to the right all in anger.

Diane Snyder who ran for the State Senate in NM posted this last night, let us pray……..

To my family, all of my friends and supporters, I thank you with all of my heart for your love, support and your faith in me during our campaign. You are incredible and I am so blessed to have you in my life.

I ask for now for your continued love and support, and most importantly your prayers as we move forward into my greatest battle, surviving cancer. Even though there is no known cure for MM (cancer in bone marrow), I am a strong woman and I know that God will give me strength to live my life in his wisdom and grace.

They talk about campaign surprises. I do confess, being diagnosed with MM mid-campaign was not the type of surprise that I expected.

Let us pray for Diane, for healing! AMEN!

Also pray for Sandy as she collapsed at work yesterday and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. She had breathing difficulty. She is at home resting PRAISE GOD. Her husband Rick texted me right away and we prayed! Sandy is the wife of Rick who runs a convenience store near our home and they just love Buffy and Reno! By the way I have to add here that I take Buffy and Reno on some of my Ministry calls when I can, and those two do a Godly work with people! Folks just love Buffy and Reno! AMEN! THANK YOU LORD!

God is a Dream-Maker (Genesis 28:12). God came to Jacob with a dream for a glorious future. God always puts dreams about the future in our hearts. Jacob awoke to a wonderful truth. Beforehand, he did not know that he was at the house of God and the gate of heaven. God delights in giving us dreams and then seeing them come to pass. — Mimosa Lane Baptist Church “40 Day Devotional Revealing God’s Glory”

This is from our Dear friend Shona Neff…….

This is my take on dead faith vs a living faith:

“A tree is a tree.
A tree that bears fruit reveals what kind of tree it is.
Faith is faith.
A faith that bears fruit reveals what kind of faith it is.”

The Rock……….

Genesis 49:24 – his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, Exodus 17:6 – Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink. Numbers 20:8 – Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water… Deuteronomy 8:14-15, Nehemiah 9:15 – (The Lord your God) brought you water out of hard rock… Deuteronomy 32:04 ff – He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. Psalm 18:2, 31, 46 – The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer… Zechariah 12:3 – On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. Matthew 7:24-25 – the house built on the rock did not fall in the storms, because it had its foundation on the rock. Matthew 13:5 & 13:20, – seed that falls on rocky places with shallow soil grows quickly, then dies Matthew 16:18 – you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my assembly (church), and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 1 Corinthiansw 10:4 – they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ 1 Peter 2:8, Isaiah 8:15 – “A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.” This excellent post is from Andrew Wommack……….he is part of the KAZQ CH 32 family…….

Most Christians believe that praising God and being thankful is good; however, many think it is optional, something to do after they have served the Lord in other ways. Some Christians only praise God when their circumstances are good and they have a reason to thank Him. The truth is that praising God is not an option. Praise has a powerful effect on the believer, the devil, and on God. It is our highest calling.
In Deuteronomy, God pronounced a curse on the children of Israel: “Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things” (28:47). Even though we are not under the Law, this verse tells us that God wants us to have joyful and thankful hearts. Jesus was joyful. Hebrews 1:9 tells us that praising God at all times is part of the normal Christian life: “Therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”
How does praise affect the believer? When we praise God, we are acknowledging that it is not our own efforts that produce blessings and prosperity. In Deuteronomy, chapters 7 and 8, the children of Israel are told to remember to thank God for the abundance they will receive. God, not their own efforts, gave them wealth. Praise makes us humble.
Thanksgiving is also a way to abound in faith. Any time we operate in a high degree of faith, praise is present. Colossians 2:6-7 says, “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” When you are believing God for something and it is completed, praise is a natural response. What some people often neglect is that they can increase their faith with praise, and their answers will come more quickly.
By focusing on your problems instead of praising God, you become self-centered and prideful. Praise forces you to get your attention on God and off your problems. Some people say that they are praying, but they are so focused on their problems that they are actually complaining. If you focus on the Word of God, faith will come. How do you keep from focusing on the problem when you are in pain or have no money? The most important thing you can do is praise God. A negative, complaining attitude won’t change overnight, but beginning to praise God will start the transformation in your attitude. If you have always been negative, you must practice thinking on positive things. Philippians 4:4 tells us to “rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.”
When we pray, we should begin with praise and end with praise. The Lord’s prayer gives us this example, and Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” When you pray with thanksgiving, the peace of God will keep your heart and mind.
Praise will build you up spiritually and keep you from crumbling, “for the joy of the LORD is your strength” (Neh. 8:10). The Apostle Paul was persecuted and suffered far more than most of us, yet he put it all in perspective in 2 Corinthians 4:17-18: “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” First, Paul said our affliction is just for a moment in light of eternity. He looked into the spiritual realm. Praise will push you into the spiritual realm to see what God has done for you. Paul and Silas praised God in prison. It was the praise that released the power of God and the earthquake that delivered them from their captivity.
Praising God doesn’t just affect us; it is a powerful weapon against the devil as well. Psalm 8:2 says, “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.” In the book of Matthew (21:16), at the time of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday), Jesus quotes from Psalm 8. When he quoted this verse, he interchanged the words “perfected praise” for “ordained strength.” This is a tremendous revelation: Praise is strength (Neh. 8:10)!
Some people are so involved in spiritual warfare that their attention is on the devil more than on God. There is a place for fighting and resisting the devil, but focusing too much on the devil is not good. Praise is a powerful weapon against the devil that has no negative fallout. In 2 Chronicles 20, Jehoshaphat appointed singers to lead his army into battle with praise unto the Lord. When they went into battle singing and praising God, the Lord set an ambush, and their enemies were defeated.
Why does praise defeat Satan? Satan’s sin was jealousy of God. He is still driven by jealousy today (Is. 14:13-14). Even if he can’t get people to worship him, his goal is to keep people from worshiping God. He seeks to draw attention away from God. When we worship God, we thwart Satan’s plan.
We have learned the power of starting a service with praise. Praise makes the devil flee and releases the anointing of God. Even the secular world knows the benefits of praise. The medical profession says that a person who is joyful is more healthy than a person who is morbid and depressed. Praise stops a negative attitude.
The most important reason to praise God is that it ministers unto Him. Acts 13 describes a situation at the church in Antioch. Verse 2 says, “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.” This is an awesome statement. They ministered to the Lord. How do we minister to the Lord? We often think we serve God only by ministering to other people. This happened in Matthew, chapter 8, with Peter’s mother-in-law. She waited on them and did household duties. That is a ministry; however, in this instance in Acts, they were fasting, praying, and ministering to the Lord. They were worshiping and glorifying God. That also ministers to the Lord.
The truth is that God desires ministry. God is complete and self-contained, but He needs us to love Him. Any person who loves has a need to show that love and a need to have that love returned. That is the reason for the creation of man in the first place. In Revelation 4, John saw a vision of what is happening in heaven. He saw twenty-four elders and four living creatures that don’t cease praising God. In verse 11, the elders said, “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” This tells us that God’s original and current purpose for creation is for His pleasure. God created us to be full of praise, joy, and thanksgiving. He is blessed by His creation.
We are often so service-oriented that we think we have to minister to others or work at the church to bless God. We think our net worth to God is our service. We forget that if it blesses God, it doesn’t have to touch anyone else. He longs to know us personally and intimately. There are hundreds of times in Scripture that God solicits our praise. Psalm 100:4 says that we should “enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”
I married Jamie because I love her and want to share my life with her. Jamie is an excellent homemaker and keeps a clean house, which blesses our family. However, if she cared more for the house than for me, it would cease to minister to me. It is the same way in our relationship with God. Service is not a substitute for a relationship with God.
Our number one priority must be to love God personally. Praise is giving of yourself to God — an intimate communion with Him. If we would praise and seek God first, during our prayer time, other things would be added unto us. (Matt. 6:33)
John 3:16 tells us that God gave His Son that we might have eternal life. Christians often think eternal life begins when you die and go to heaven, but John 17:3 tells us differently. Eternal life is now. Intimately knowing God is eternal life. Praise is a way to begin this love relationship with God.
“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name”(Heb. 13:15).

Get your Bibles out please……..two key verses today John 15:5 and Deuteronomy 4:29

Facebook is turning out to be a tremendous opportunity to Minister to people. It takes time, but we are able to help guide people in the ways of our Lord. I have made myself vulnerable in our Lord to serve Him. Here is what awaited me on Facebook this morning…..

Dear Dewey,

Thank you for accepting my FB Friend Request. God’s Blessings to you this election day in the USA. May the Lord be Glorified in that the right man is elected in – we are living in most bizaare times, closer to the return of Jesus Christ, I think than any other time in history, would you agree?

Have a great day.

Blessings,

Kevin

Kevin,

This is what the Lord showed me upon reading your posting……….

Jesus leaves little doubt about the meaning of prayer when he says: “Apart from me you can do nothing: those who dwell in me as I dwell in them, bear much fruit” John 15:5

Dwelling in our Lord Jesus Christ is what we are to do.

All that is going on with this Political campaign and election has disturbed my spirit greatly. TOO MUCH MONEY BEING SPENT TO BUY THESE ELECTIONS! An Ungodly amount spent while people of God go hungry. 27% of children in New Mexico MAY get one meal today, not MEXICO but NEW MEXICO a state of the United States of America!

Do you think God is happy with American Politics?

Apart from me you can do nothing:those who dwell in me as I dwell in them, bear much fruit, those are the folks we need to vote for and lift up. Those that are with our Lord Jesus Christ, knowing where all Power is from.

There is a cartoon in the Albuquerque Journal this morning, asking which is the most powerful place in America? The White House? The Pentagon? The U.S. capitol? It is the Voting Booth. My prayer is that the Church, The Body of Christ become the most POWERFUL place in America, with all eye’s toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

But if from there you will seek (inquire for and require as necessity) the Lord your God, you will find Him if you (truly) seek Him with all your heart (and mind) and soul and life. Deuteronomy 4:29

This is the key Kevin and all, We do live in bizarre times, yes, but each of us needs to do what God’s Word says in Deuteronomy 4:29 and also John 15:5.

The title of my podcasts are “This is the World we Live in”…….a world that children are attacking their parents…in Santa Fe a child stabs his Mom with a knife because she told him to clean his room…….the beer company Budwiser upset that their logo is shown in a movie about a drunk pilot!….like they are trying to hide that their product kills people? This is the World we live in……only 10% of America goes to Church…….50% of those that listen to Christian Radio and Watch Christian TV do not have a home Church, this is why God called me out….out to be Salt and Light…..to the world……..this is what God called me to do……..please pray for us as we go forth for God’s glory alone!

The Lord also has shown me to be concerned about fraud in this election. Already we have problems in Ohio that could delay a final count for days……..problems in the areas where the storm hit………Let us be in constant prayer. Do not be surprised by anything.

Life becomes an unbearable burden whenever we lose touch with the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and see only injustice to be addressed, fraud to be overcome, violence to stop, wars to end, loneliness and hunger to be removed. All these are very critical, very, very critical issues, and Christians must strive to try and solve them through our Lord, however, when our concern no longer FLOWS FROM OUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, we feel an oppressive weight.

Let’s check the mailbag……….

TY Dewey for your ‘Cup’ this morning. When we cry “Lord, Lord why has thou forsaken me?” is when we can be filled with His Love and to the fullest. Hitting the bottom means we can only go UP from there.
As I pray this day for America and all the ones on the East Coast that are in need. I pray also for those who have Everything they need, because without God they have Nothing also. Only Our Lord gives us what is most needed, Eternal Life. Unconditional Love, and Forgiveness. Again, as I have said before, I too as Paul thought “am the biggest sinner of all”.. love, sam

AWESOME message Sam! God Bless you and yours! How is your son and his friend doing?

Dewey,
Thank you to Karen for her Godly insight into marriage. What I love about Karen is that she has always been real and is not ashamed to show her human side. She is such a Godly woman yet she struggles with her humanity just like everyone else does. It is OUR expectations that bring us disappointments.

Sandy Harrington

God Bless you and yours Sandy………We always get great feedback on Karen’s posting and she has another gift for us today!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!

Tempted to give up HOPE? Make THE Trouble YOUR Testimony!

Looking beyond the Massive Wall of Trouble ~ We have to travel the road to get to our designation! By Karen Rowe

Two feet in front of you, all you can see is a wall, but God sees the path to a great Call on your life! Take another look at that great wall standing seemingly fearlessly in front of you. David saw a giant, but he knew he stood with God and he had a stone! Look at your resources; do you have at least a stone to cast; or a word to speak in prayer?
The Word of God is your way; and Jesus Christ is your Wisdom and Strength –allow the Holy Spirit to guide you with what God is providing!
If you don’t try to run away or go around your trouble, that wall will become your testimony with God for God’s Glory Alone!

Now don’t boast in tomorrow that you will do this or that; or make money or not, –according to Scripture, but…no matter what … Where are you going to be in 3 years? What you do in the next 2 years decides where you will be in 3 years and tomorrow begins with our choices in Today.
Not getting caught up in the dates, but where are you going to be in 3 days, the next 2 days decides where you will be in 3 days…and the same with tomorrow! Where we are tomorrow begins with our choices we make in Today!
We need to make our choices with God.
Focus on the real stuff, like God loves you and HE is faithful and true and just!
We have all the hope we need for all that we may face Today –and God has tomorrow covered!
The Bible says that there is enough trouble in tomorrow, so don’t worry about tomorrow in what you will eat or where you will be …paraphrased, but God is teaching us to be joyful always in Today for as long as God calls it Today!
Many times it is difficult road learning, until we understand all that we are learning has a great purpose ~ more than college education!
Never give up on the good things of God to follow the worldly passions to just drift away and do or say anything you feel like! We must battle through and resist temptations with a fight to rise to the top with God in all that we do!
We must remain dedicated to remembering the HOPE that God had given us…as we remember that just because you may be in a difficult place in your life Today or tomorrow, it does not mean that you have to stay there!
God allows us to go through the testing times for a 2 reasons:
· Satan will help God out, because Satan hopes we will fail our test with a goal to steal our peace and joy if he can’t get our soul! BUT…
· God hopes –God believes in us; and HE gives us all we need! God hopes we will persevere through our test learning that God’s way is best for us! God knows we have everything we need in HIM to persevere; not only persevere, but we are equipped to persevere well with God’s strength peace and joy! Even when we don’t feel like being good; God knows we have faithful endurance available and God knows the reward for our benefit of learning this way!
God’s Word is our strength for Today! Each Today, until we get to our grand reward, God’s Word is our strength to endure all things with a brand new start!
It is all about Jesus!
Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe

A special “Thank You” from some great kids. See below. November 6, 2012. What would cause your life to kick into high gear and at the same time increase your joy and effectiveness beyond measure? A pastor asked me, “What can I do to get our church excited, unified and growing?” The answer from God in His Scriptures is to experience the “Explosion of the Holy Spirit” and sell everything to follow His lead. God wants you to experience the explosion of the Holy Spirit for your life, the life of your church, job or business. The Scripture verses below give a clear path for the believer who is hungry for more, for that explosion of the Holy Spirit. Read them carefully and prayerfully. Our prayers are with you. Acts 2:1-4 (MSG) “When the Feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force-no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building. Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks, and they started speaking in a number of different languages as the Spirit prompted them. Acts 10:38 (NLT) And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Ephesians 5:18 (NLT) “Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 1:8 (NLT) “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere-in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Ras Robinson Subscribe to “What the Lord Is Saying Today” November 6, 2012. A new day is dawning. Blessings are headed your way. At one time you were not being understood, because you weren’t like some others. You were never intended to be like the others. You are unique, like no one else, especially not like those who misunderstood you. They were looking for your actions and reactions to be like theirs, but they weren’t. For a while it caused misunderstandings and rejection to arise among all of you. You were rejected first and then you turned the tables rejecting them. Everyone will humble themselves, forgive and will begin to love each other. It will be better than you and they have ever imagined. 1 John 4:7-8 (NASB) Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” Bev Robinson Scroll down to see “Photo of the Day” from our ministry to children in the Philippines. November 6, 2012. There’s no need to justify your behavior. Accept responsibility for your unrighteous words and actions. Stop making excuses for what you’ve done. Who’s in charge here? You? Ponder your thoughts before you speak. Even if you are correct with what you say, was being right worth the fallout? Your words have been like a flame thrower, burning everything in your path. You’ve burned bridges and other things which will take an act by Me to restore. Let Me place a guard over your lips. Stop tearing down and start building up. I created good with My word. Create good with your words and actions as well. Let others see who I AM. 1 Peter 3:10-12 (NLT) “He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,and His ears are by Savings Sidekick”open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” Kevin Robinson For Gods Glory Alone in the Love of Jesus Christ, Dewey Sharon and Family www.fggam.org If you have friends or family you think would like to share a daily cup of inspirational coffee with Dewey please forward this email and encourage them to join Dewey’s Daily Cup.

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Thanks for stopping by the CUP! please also visit us today at www.fggam.org

Please drink this CUP slowly…….please send us a note today of what touched your heart…….

It is right to give Praise and Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ!

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of Your Glory Amen! Amen!!!! Thank You Lord We give You Praise and Thanks this day and all days yes we do!!!!!! Amen and Amen!!!!!!!

When we come to worship we come into the presence of “innumerable angels” Hebrews 12:22

PRAISE TO GOD defeats the devil faster than any other battle plan, but it must be genuine,sweet, loving, not just lip service or tried to see if it works! Praise and prayer both involve God’s Word! AMEN!

And He said to them, be careful what you are hearing. The measure (of thought and study) you give (to the truth you hear) will be the measure (of virtue and knowledge) that comes back to you—and more (besides) will be given to you who hear.
For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away (by force)

Mark 4: 24-25

Too many say I have read the word, I pray, I have been baptized…..I believe in God….but they remain in the same awful cycle, because they don’t hear God and apply God’s Word.

We must be Salt and Light to these folks as they cry out for help! Showing them the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Intriguing thought from Oswald Chambers……Most of us collapse at the first grip of pain. We sit down at the door of God’s purpose and enter a slow death through self-pity. And all the so-called Christian sympathy of others helps us to our deathbed. But God will not. If God can accomplish His purposes in this world through a broken heart, then why not thank Him for breaking yours?

“I am becoming simple, therefore wise.” – E. Stanley Jones

“Don’t let fear of the unknown keep you from moving towards the future God has waiting for you. What may be unknown to you is not unknown to God. Know that He has already gone before you to clear the biggest of the obstacles you will face. Move now to begin to fulfill your calling.” Elmer Layden of The Whisper of God

Thanks to Matt Rush for this photo of New Mexico! May America Bless God! AMEN!

I am tired of hearing Politicians say, “God Bless America!” WE, AMERICA, MUST BLESS GOD!!!! AMEN!!!!

Let us pray for the 2 million who still don’t have power on the East Coast. 40,000 New Yorkers need housing, another storm is headed their way.

Please pray for our daughter Gretchen traveling to Portales this morning! God Bless you!

I also know in my spirit the cries from Amy Jean Snow Schultz, and her battle with cancer for 4 1/2 years..please pray.

We also pray for the United States of America as Election day is tomorrow. Sharon and I voted on Friday.

My heart has been broken the last few days in counseling people with substance abuse……one calling marijuana her best friend. She so much wants to break this cycle of madness. We must show the love of Jesus to these folks as we share God’s Word with them. God’s Word is the bread of life, it is the best prescription.

A new report out shows that suicide in America has quadrupled since 2008 during this economic crises.

So many people looking for a best Friend, turn to drugs or alcohol.

Let us pray……..we must be Salt and Light, we must share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, at the same time showing the love of Jesus, not judgement.

This past Saturday on our TV program we dealt with substance abuse. Rick Griffin shared his testimony on how he and his wife Margaret with God at the head dealt with their son’s addiction to heroin. We will have that program posted on our web site soon. Thank you to our supporters who make this TV program possible.

This is what we do here at FGGAM! Please pray for us! Thank you! Please pray about partnering with us to continue to bring the Light of Jesus Christ to the World……..one person at a time..thru our Counseling, TV, Radio, Blog, Internet, podcasting, Preaching and Revivals. You can donate by going to our web site.

Thank you Lord for hearing us!

This is such a Godly write up by our Dear friend Karen……….

Perfection is Over Rated! By Karen Rowe

Beautifully commercialized, we know exactly how we are to look beautiful!
Wonderfully understood, we know exactly how we are to fit in and be acceptable!
So, why is it that no one seems to measure up to the exactness of the expectations of perfection in the world?
Until we are rescued from this notion of worldly perfection, we will always be left striving to meet (and accepting) something less that was never meant for us to meet alone, because we were made for so much more!

I want to share the imperfections in my 25th wedding anniversary! And this I share as a praise; not a complaint! I am neither bragging /nor complaining, but sharing, because I adore my husband and I am certain that my husband adores me! Yet, and said with smiles, there are moments in our days if you would peak through our window, that one would wonder if we care at all; and there are times that I believe that we wonder if we care ourselves; again this is the truth, but said with smiles! Although widely accepted as the normal, my husband and I refuse to waiver from God’s Holy Word; yet sometimes we fail, because we are simply not perfect … (yet).
I believe that we are learning how to love and be loved more and more every single day! I believe that growth in God’s love builds our self-confidence in love; marriages/dreams/visions/faith; anything good that is falling apart, are failing, because of missed expectations and the temptations to give up and throw away all that is waiting on a single person and also for 2 people and their children; and I say this, because my husband and I have a normal marriage, but we operate in the love that our marriage is based on with God at the lead.
If expectations of love are not met, then is the love not there? Recently, my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary! But did we meet our expectations of what this big day would be like? To answer that question, I will pose this way of thinking.

Our marriage was never based on what was defined or not defined by what the perfect marriage should be according to TV; yet there are many old fashioned shows that offer this same guidance. We have never put restrictions or obligations on the things of this world to define how, or if our marriage is worth celebrating. Of course we have mutual boundaries with all of God’s recommendations of mutual love and respect, but no silver bells or fine cuisine on this 25th wedding anniversary! What we had was real life love in full action!
Is it allowed and acceptable to be mad at your husband on your 25th wedding anniversary? Is it allowed and acceptable for your husband to work and get home later than expected on your 25th wedding anniversary? The answer is yes to both of those! Marriage is real life and a 25th wedding anniversary is a celebration of what made us earn the title of being married for 25 years, which is being true to our feelings/emotions, but working through them with respect and with love in all things. By being true to our self, we can be true to each other; but being true to anyone, including being true to our self, begins with being true to God…
…Showing patience, when the other one is not kind; or showing love and compassion and understanding when the other is doing the best they can is part of remaining true to the love that remains pure in our lives that joined us in marriage to work together forever; till death do us part, as helpers!

Love is the Perfection of all things, because God is love! God is the love that joined us together; and it is this perfect love that makes all things perfect! Jesus is the Perfect One! So for our 25th wedding anniversary we were real; and late or not late, real love is the most precious gift that we can ever give each other, regardless of the special day that the world has promoted to mean diamonds and spoiled riches.

Certainly there is nothing wrong with those things; and I am not saying that we never give gifts, but I will pose this to you to ponder on: Do you need things to make you feel loved; or do you need to just be loved? The fact is; you are loved!
Understanding how to experience knowing you are loved, and also very special; comes from the realness of God alive and active in your own heart! It is important to understand that we need to know God’s love for our self, before we can give our heart to someone else. And this is the same for maintaining this love! In our marriages, love begins in each heart that is joined in the same unique Agape love!
We give love in different ways, but part of love is how we receive the love that is given.

I would love to encourage you to look at your husband or wife a little deeper today, because love goes much deeper than that the love that money can buy. And as for me, I believe that these things are the root of that “bitter envy and selfish ambition” that God’s Word warns us about, in which God’s Word also gives us the solution: “If you harbor bitter envy or selfish ambition, do not boast about it; or deny the truth.” [See James 3:13-18] And through this Scripture we can learn how to evaluate the good vs. bad wisdom that come to us; and learn how we can eliminate the bad wisdom by resisting the temptations to be “bitter” and “easily angered”; and instead, open our heart and quiet our mind to fill up with the good Truth in the Word of God, which is pure and holy and based on love!

Many times, people just give up too soon on good dreams and visions in life in general. Today, I encourage you to pray and open the Word of God seeking understanding before you step out away from God’s good plan for you. Remember, in all things, pressure usually gets its hardest the day before the most awesome day, -breakthrough! If we will just resist the temptation, which is to throw our hands in the air and throw it all away too soon, then we will see what God was leading us to –as God was leading us through (if we seek HIM –as we know what we are going through); then we will see what God already knew, when we finally get there! You see God knows the outcome, we just feel the immediate … that is why we need to always remember that God loves us and we can always trust God!
Don’t give up on God ever…Don’t give up on HIS Word or things that are blessings in your life. Learn what it is to be blessed and how to live blessed! Love is the need that is needed in this world; but love is not being met in a way that the world understands, because the world is not seeking Jesus; the world is seeking self-gratification. The world is not trusting God; the world is trusting things that are failing them.
And in a marriage, Learn how to communicate your hurt feelings in a raw way through a prayerful conversation just the three of you: Husband <GOD> Wife; and find out that love heals with few words; and many times just a glance, smile or just a hug is all you need to know that the love is still glowing for you alone!

God bless you in your Today of where God is taking you to be!

Love in Christ,

Karen Rowe

What The Lord Is Saying Today

A special “Thank You” from some great kids. See below. November 5, 2012. Oh to be found faithful! Have you been faithful in your Christian life? Would others call you a faithful person? My son just finished driving a quality truck in his occupation until the speedometer read 400,000 miles. All the years it was in his possession, he kept it very clean and in tip top running order. His precious wife affirmed him, “Honey, you are such a good steward.” She was affirming his faithfulness. Now he has bought another newer truck. Moses probably got tired of his six million murmuring Hebrews. They complained about the food and lack of water and grossly transgressed God’s love and laws. But God called Moses faithful in his entire house. God affirms our faithfulness! May He find you faithful in His entire house. Hebrews 3:1-2 (KJV) “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.” Ras Robinson Subscribe to “What the Lord Is Saying Today” November 5, 2012. Are you really hearing Me? This is a question you have been asking lately. You’re wondering if you are allowing a figment of your imagination to arise within your soul. Until recently this has seldom been a problem. You felt like you were mostly hearing with high fidelity. Hearing Me seemed to be somewhat easy. But suddenly without warning you are beginning to doubt if what you are hearing is from Me. This is a good question you’re asking. I know the reason this is happening but you need to continue listening. Don’t move into fear or doubt because new understanding is on its way. Wisdom and insight is coming soon. 1 Corinthians 2:11-12 (NLT) “No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.” Bev Robinson Scroll down to see “Photo of the Day” from our ministry to children in the Philippines. November 5, 2012. All that is Mine is yours. Some of you cast condemnation upon yourself. It is because you have felt unworthy due to your past. Receive the fullness of My blessings today. Get in on the victorious way of living I have to give. Take note of believers who seem to have more confidence than others. It is in large part because they have learned to focus their mind on the present. You’ve been forgiven from your past. Receive yourself. You are the finest of all My creations. Receive your rightful inheritance as My child. Let nothing stand in your way. Take Me and all that goes with Me. Take steps forward. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT) “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun.” Kevin Robinson For God’s Glory Alone in the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ, Dewey Sharon and Family www.fggam.org If you have friends or family you think would like to share a daily cup of inspirational coffee with Dewey please forward this email and encourage them to join Dewey’s Daily Cup.
