Dear Family of Jesus,
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” – John 14:27 |
Thanks for stopping by for a CUP!
Please make sure and stop by www.fggam.org! For God’s Glory Alone!
Today we tape two TV programs for Dewey and Friends. Our first guest will be Pastor Ricki Horton the Founder of the Upper Room Ministry and the second guest will be David Standridge who is running for Family Court Judge. David is a long time friend of this Ministry. Dewey and Friends airs Saturdays at 6pm on KAZQ 32 and remember for those of you out of state you can watch on line at www.kazq32.org! So this Saturday Pastor Horton and then David Standridge the following Saturday! AMEN! Thank YOU LORD!
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Eph 2:10
The plan that the Lord has for us is not to deliver us out of the world, but to invade the “power of darkness” with the dominion of Heaven. Breakthrough is when Heaven invades the darkness on the earth. Breakthrough interrupts the devil’s plans, and it intrudes upon his works with the works of God. Breakthrough is when the devil’s plans of poverty, lack, sickness, division, decline, and decrease are replaced with God’s abundance, blessing, health, unity, increase, and growth!
God’s plans are for you to reach His expected end for you, His vision of you. Vision is seeing the end from the beginning. God operates by vision, since He not only sees the end from the beginning, but He also declares the end from the beginning Read Isa. 46:120 please
AMEN! AMEN!
From Pastor Brenton Franks:
ARE YOU EXPECTING A HARD DAY? If you are following God in obedience, you should not be expecting defeat but blessing. You should expect opposition, but you should never forget that God is bigger than any opposition you are facing. Listen to what David said in 2 Samuel 22:19-20 19 They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the LORD supported me. 20 He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me. (NLT) People will attack you…that is no surprise, but God will support and secure His own
WOW WEE!

Her surgery was successful all the margins came back clear of cancer. She does have to have 40 days of radiation and is recovering slowly with a lot of pain and tiredness. Please continue to pray for her as we know you will. Thanks for asking about her Dewey.
Blessings,
Rene’ and Paul
Let us be in prayer.
I was asked about the CUP the other day and this is how I responded….
The CUP is not of me but of God, it is the words that God gives me in my sleep and when I awake, it it His message each day, He has been giving me the word’s for over 14 years now to put forth and it is changing lives, so if it is long some days, that is of the Lord and not me. Just had to share how the Lord uses me.
AMEN!
My Classmate from Windom, Sonja, sent us this AWESOME Devotional! It really hit home with me!…………
Doing Laundry to the Glory of God
Sharon Jaynes
Today’s Truth
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God,
(1 Corinthians 10:31, NASB).
Friend to Friend
In my last devotion we met Amanda who said, “I just never have enough time to spend with the Lord,” Amanda cries. “I work forty plus hours a week, commute ninety minutes both ways, oversee elderly parents’ affairs, and take care of my five-year-old son. I’m either on the road, at my desk or taking care of someone else’s needs. And on top of that, I never feel like I’m doing any of it well. What does God want from me in the middle of all this madness? How can I carve out time for Him? I feel like I’m constantly failing Him!”
We also looked at how to solve Amanda’s dilemma (and mine and yours) by erasing the lines between the secular and the sacred so that in him we live and move and have our being encompasses all of life. Here’s what it would look like.
Suppose you acknowledge God’s presence as you walk down the grocery store aisle, drive through the car pool line, sit in the hair stylist’s chair, stir the spaghetti sauce, shampoo your hair, love your husband, or rake leaves in the yard. Isn’t that what in Him we live and move and have our being really looks like? Praying with your eyes wide open at times is the only way to practice prayer without ceasing.
Monday always follows Sunday, but when you erase the lines that separate the secular and the sacred, the world becomes your sanctuary. God’s presence one steady stream.
This was true for Jesus. He never hurried. He never panicked. He was never driven by the tyranny of the urgent. If I were in his sandals, I probably would have been wringing my hands with all I had to accomplish in three and a half years. I can hear myself now: “I’ve got three and a half years to make a difference. How can I cram all the miracles and teaching into this short amount of time?”
Three and a half years translates into 1,278 days. If you go back and count the days recorded in the four gospels, you’d come up considerably short. So what was Jesus doing on the days that were not mentioned by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? He lived His life. He worked. He ate. He washed. He partied. He prayed. He studied. He meditated. He listened. The Sacred lived in the midst of the secular.
Paul wrote: “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God,” (1 Corinthians 10:31 NASB). Whatever you do…
Cleaning bathrooms to the glory of God.
Vacuuming the floor to the glory of God.
Reading my Bible to the glory of God.
Singing praises to the glory of God.
Being intimate with my husband to the glory of God.
Cooking dinner to the glory of God.
Helping in the soup kitchen to the glory of God.
Shopping for groceries to the glory of God.
Mailing packages to the glory of God.
Filing my taxes to the glory of God.
All things…to the glory of God.
What does “to the glory of God” mean? The Greek word for glory, doxa, denotes honor or splendor, a reflection of God’s character. We are to reflect God’s character, His ways, and His splendor in everything we do. Discounting sinful behavior, such as sexual perversions, gossip, drug and alcohol abuse, or any number of immoral acts that contradict the life of a Christian, our entire existence both in the secular and the sacred realm could and should be an act of worship. When that happens, words such as “do everything as unto the Lord” and “pray without ceasing” become clearer and more within our grasp.
Yes, we do need times alone with God. Jesus pulled away to be with the Father often. “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed” (Mark 1:35). If Jesus, the Son of God, needed to spend extended time alone with his Father, then we certainly do too. However, by acknowledging God’s presence in every aspect of our lives, we will experience the blessed union in all things. Moments of sudden glory will appear as manna from God.
God longs for you to experience His presence in the spin of the laundry, the sizzle of the cooking, the buzz of children’s chatter, and in the quiet of solitude. From the time God rent the curtain in the Holy of Holies when Jesus took his last breath on the cross, God welcomed you into His presence…not just on so-called holy days, but everyday days.
Let’s Pray
Lord, I’m glad You’re sticking with me today…and I’m sticking with You. I acknowledge Your presence now and through my entire day. I’m not saying “See you later,” with this Amen. We’re going into this day together!
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.

Friends of Whom?
At an Easter mass, at which some young ladies were to take
their final vows to become nuns, the presiding bishop
noticed two Baptist pastors enter the church just before the mass
began.
They were seated at the back of the sanctuary and insisted
on sitting on the right side of the center aisle.
The bishop wondered why they had come but didn’t have time
to inquire before the mass began. When it came time for some
announcements, his curiosity got the best of him. He
announced that he was delighted to see two Baptist pastors in their
midst at the mass but, was curious as to why they were
present at this occasion where the young ladies were to
become the “brides of Christ.”
The eldest of the pastors slowly rose to his feet and
explained, “Family of the Groom.”

The Story Behind This New Adventure in Webcasting “What the Lord Is Saying Today”: “A Personal Word from Ras Robinson” live broadcast at 5:55 AM Friday, September 14. See below for details and to REGISTER.
September 6, 2012. Yesterday, I visited Christ in the Desert Monastery in Abiquiu, New Mexico. The drive off the main highway is about 15 miles on a single lane gravel road. The environment is harsh and dry desert with sparse vegetation. The monastery is a beautiful tribute to good architecture. Staying only through the day, I experienced the Lord Jesus in a unique and holy way. After a while the gnarly, natural edifices surrounding the monastery began to have a quiet beauty all their own. It was a glorious retreat from modernity and into stark, natural charm and glory. The Lord said to me, “Seek Me while I may be found. I reside in the glory of clouds, deserts, oceans, streams, rocks and in My children everywhere. All cry out to Me in praise. You saw and heard it, didn’t you? Testify of Me and these things.” Deuteronomy 4:29 (MSG) “But even there, if you seek GOD, your God, you’ll be able to find him if you’re serious, looking for him with your whole heart and soul.” Isaiah 55:6 (NASB)”Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.” Ras Robinson Subscribe to “What the Lord Is Saying Today” September 6, 2012. Thoughts have been building up in your mind and you are wondering if you should express them. Yes you need to get them off your mind. But not in the way you are thinking right now. There are some you should express and some you shouldn’t. If you say all you are thinking it won’t be good. Right now you have too much emotion and the person will not hear, but will instead respond negatively to your emotion. Don’t explode and don’t stuff your feeling. Tell all to Me. That will calm you and enable you to share what needs to be known at a later time. I’ll show you when. James 1:19-20 (NLT) “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.” Bev Robinson Scroll down to see “Photo of the Day” from our ministry to children in the Philippines. September 6, 2012. You are where you are because of My grace and mercy in your life. Even though you may have seen, heard or experienced signs, wonders, and miracles, those experiences don’t make you more special than those who haven’t. Even My own disciples didn’t have full understanding of what I came to accomplish while I was on Earth. Be careful not to force your own belief structure upon others and consequently alienate them. Make room for those individuals among you who have to see in order to believe. We all encounter people like My disciple Thomas. Exhibit longsuffering with those you walk with. Represent the fruit of My patience to all people. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (NASB) “Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,” Kevin Robinson Fluoride Can Kill: Beware of Hidden Sources Many medical authorities warn that excess fluoride has been linked to a myriad of health problems including heart ailments, Alzheimer’s, bone disorders, and cancer.
