Dear Family of Jesus,
Thank you for stopping by for a CUP!
WOW! I went to a Pastor’s Conference on Friday put on by TVAC, excellent!(Traditional Vales Action Committee) Catholics and Evangelical’s coming together! Leaders like Bill Redmond, Walter Bradley, Archbishop Michael Sheehan and others making this happen in our state! Some are asking me If I have retired!!! RETIRED???? I am getting asked so many questions, what are you going to do? This is a Godly movement in our lives. God is moving us out in the field to sow seeds for Him. Most people laugh when they see me and offer congratulations because they understand the movement of Jesus Christ. Friend Ben Lucero says” Some will not understand what you have done, Dewey, leaving a full-time paid position and going to no pay check and starting a new Ministry, they will be watching you, your Testimony will mean much too many people.”
Our Lord is with us, He will not forsake us.
I believe the Lord is calling us ALL to let go of “THINGS” Things that mean nothing to God.
God knows what those “THINGS” are in your life and I pray that you know what they are.
We are going full blast with the Holy Spirit. Sharon and I are like Missionaries, going off into the field for our Lord.
Let me share with you a bit what happened yesterday at the Upper Room, where I am Preaching out of, 5505 Lomas. I also have an office there, for counseling etc……
The Holy Spirit blew in and blew the roof off! AMEN! WOW! WEE!
At the TVAC get together Bishop Harry R. Jackson Jr. had us focus on these two scriptures…..
Ezekiel 13:5
You have not gone up into the gaps or breeches, nor built up the wall for the house of Israel that it might stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.
Bishop Jackson shared that God founded America, God has favor on America, Our founding Fathers were Christians, were they perfect? NO, none of us are! Bishop Jackson said he believes in all his heart, like God cares for Israel, God cares so much for America. But who is standing in the gap for America? Who is standing in the gap for Israel? More importantly who is standing in the gap for God? Are you?
I believe we have to leave our places and go meet people where they are at and share Jesus Christ with them.
I believe God is calling us ALL OUT TO SERVE HIM and not ourselves!
The TVAC touched on two vital issues to God……..
Abortion and Marriage.
I never thought we would have to defend marriage and point out scripture to even the Church on the sanctity of marriage.
Abortion, enough said.
Will you stand in the gap for God?
These are not Political issues, they are Godly issues.
Many have made them a Political issue…..this is a Godly issue.
God’s Platform……..not a Political platform.
Listen, both the Democrats and Republicans in my mind where an embarrassment to God with all the money they spent on their lavish conventions while this Country is in an economic crises. Sad, sad testimony to the common folk like you and me.
Most these folks are out of touch with God.
I am here to inflict the comfortable and to comfort the inflicted. I do not care about my popularity with man. I only care where I stand with God.
Elijah, as my Dear friend Pastor Leonard shared with me yesterday was known as the “great troubler” of Israel, speaking Truth in Love.
Let God not say this what is found in Ezekiel 22:30 about present day America and the American Church………
And I sought a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.
This is what I Preached on yesterday at the Upper Room! Praise God for the young people in attendance!
I also Preached on the Power of the Holy Spirit and that is so lacking in the lives of so many Christians! It is lacking in the Church! You can be Baptized, but you may not have the fullness of the Holy Spirit! I have posted an excellent Godly write up by Louie Giglio on the Holy Spirit.
As Charles Stanley states, “If America was full of the Holy Spirit we would have the greatest economy in the World.”
If the Church was full of the Holy Spirit we would not be seeing the failures of the Church, with attendance nationwide of folks going to Church at a miserable rate of 10%!
It is time for you and me to have the FULLNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!
65% of so called Christians do not believe in the Holy Spirit………..oh my, oh my!
Please visit us at www.fggam.org and read about what is going on and pray about supporting our efforts, please. I have been encouraged by my many Pastor friends not to be shy saying we need your financial help in our Ministry. We so much covet your prayers.
Smith Wigglesworths life was radical. Plain and simple. Modelled after his and our Saviour. Ask yourself this question today. Is your cup running over?
When people demand a lot of things from you, they usually don’t consider what will be good for you but only what will be good for them. Joyce Meyer
Faith is acting like something is so even when it is not so in order that it might be so simply because God said so. Tony Evans

How to be Filled with the Holy Spirit
|
|||||||
Receive power now!
Just before He ascended into heaven, Jesus said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you” (Acts 1:8).
This page will give you the instructions of how to be filled with the precious Holy Spirit of God Himself, the manifest power of God.
This is not for our own purposes and is only to serve Him. However, this same power enables us to be what God wants us to be in this life and to be an overcomer.
IMPORTANT: This power is not available unless you have already been born of the Spirit by receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Otherwise it does not work. Don’t try. In fact, it may even be dangerous. If you have not received Christ, stop now, and click here.
All believers are indwelled by the Holy Spirit; however, not all believers are “filled” with the Spirit and His power, otherwise God would not have to command us to be. The lack of spiritual power is all too evident among believers.
Not an option. If you have already received Christ, in Ephesians 5:18 God commands all believers to be filled with the Spirit; therefore, we know it is God’s will for everyone. It is really a command from God and really not an option.
Before His ascension into heaven, in Acts chapter 1 Jesus prophesied that this phenomenon would happen to believers. He called it “the promise of the Father,” told the disciples that they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came on them, and He also referred to it as “the baptism with the Holy Spirit.” It happened a few days later on the day of Pentecost as described in Acts 2:4, and there it is called being “filled with the Spirit.”
In several others places in the book of Acts it happened to other believers and different terminology is used, but in all cases the Holy Spirit came “on” or “upon” people.
It doesn’t matter what you call it. The important thing is that it brings the fullness of God’s power and releases the gifts of the Spirit in your life to be a witness for Christ and to do His will. This happened to me many years ago and is the power behind this message you are reading, as well as other ministry in my life.
Here is how you can be filled with the Spirit, right now:
Here is the suggested prayer:
“Dear Lord Jesus, your Word says that you are the ‘baptizer in the Holy Spirit.’ Thank you for forgiving my sins because you died on the cross for me. Thank you for offering the fullness of your Spirit to me. As you commanded, I desire to be filled with your Spirit, so I know it is your will. And your promise says that if I ask anything according to your will, and if believe that I receive, then I can have what I ask for and it is mine. Therefore, I ask for the fullness and power of your Holy Spirit to come upon me right now. I receive Him by faith, right now. I now thank you for answering this prayer and filling me with your Holy Spirit. Now use me for your purposes and your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Continue to worship and praise God. You may or may not experience physical or emotional feelings. That is not important. It is not based on feelings but on faith. Feelings may come now or later. The gifts of the Spirit may begin to flow through you immediately, or later, also by faith.
In the book of Acts, most or all of whom the Holy Spirit fell upon began to speak in unknown languages (e.g. 2:4, 10:46, 19:6). This manifestation of the Spirit continues widely to this day, as attested to worldwide by believers in virtually all denominations. Doubt and fear from poor teaching often blocks this manifestation, but doubt and fear are overcome by faith. Step out in faith and do not doubt.
Allow the life of Christ to flow through you and use you for God’s purposes.
God bless you
