Dear Family of Jesus,
Thanks for stopping by for a CUP! We love you and pray for you!
You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltiness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.
PRAISE GOD! YES! Matt: 5 13-16
That is why we are here everyday at the CUP! That is why the Lord has given us FOR GOD’s GLORY ALONE MINISTRIES, that is why the LORD has given us the TV program, LORD willing we will soon be doing commentary on our Web Site, The program will be called, “This is the World we Live in”, We have purchased the equipment and we are going forward…………We are here to be Salt and Light, for God’s Glory Alone! AMEN!!!!
Let me share with you this morning again from the writings of Pastor Steve Hickey. WOW! Does he hit another Grand Slam homerun!
I get asked a lot about people’s salvation and what they do with it.I get asked a lot about people NOT being filled with the Holy Spirit………
This is taken from Pastor Steve’s book, Obtainable Expectations A Timely Exposition Of The Sermon On The Mount. I strongly encourage you to read this book and get your Pastor a copy!
Pastor Steve talks about going the second mile..I have shared that here on the CUP. Matt 5:41 If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
He writes….”Religion” is the Magnificent Mile. Walk in religion and you will be content with “magnificence.” If religion can satisfy you with “magnificence,” then keep your witness away from the rest of the world. Mile two, the miracle mile, springs forth when we press beyond ourselves and beyond what we are obligated to do. Only then do we successfully resist the resistance and deception of the Spirit of Religion. The Spirit of Religion has a magic trick when it comes to miles one and two.
Certainly you have seen the Magician pull a rabbit out of a hat. Everyone loves that hat trick. Right before your eyes they place a handkerchief in the hat, and yet they pull our a rabbit. Likewise, the Spirit of Religion, and the high priests of the Spirit of Religion, swap the miraculous with the magnificent. We are so wowed by the grandeur that we never notice God left. Religion vainly seeks to manipulate God through magic, ritual and tradition. The magicians of Egypt mimicked the power of God; by grace, Moses walked in the power of God!
I get asked a lot about when people are baptized…that the Church needs to be better at helping raise up people that have just entered the Kingdom……not just baptize them, but be a Mentor to them, help guide them in their new life. Many get caught up in the Baptism, but then do not stay alongside them.
Here is what Pastor Steve Hickey writes on Salvation…….
Salvation is a wonderful thing and I do not mean to diminish or disparage it in any way by saying it belongs in the mile-one. (Pastor Steve as I had shared in a previous CUP stated that mile one is salvation when our progress into the Kingdom seems to stop shortly after saying the sinner’s prayer. Mile Two is the filling and empowering of the Holy Spirit launching us into a lost world!)
Pastor Hickey says, his desire here is to make a point regarding how so many are saved but not yet converted. They make it to the alter, their sins are forgiven and they seem to make it no further. The journey we call the Christian Life simply becomes a destination one arrives at when they ask Jesus into their hearts, when in truth that significant step is just step one of the Christian life.
AMEN! It is our duty in our LORD to help people move to the second mile!
We have this prayer need from Kay Hendrickson who is a Board member of www.fggam.org ;
Good Evening,
Please pray for Jo Threewit who is have a lot of back pain. She is getting treatment. Pray that these treatments work to relieve the pain.
Also please pray for the Manning family. They are having a great struggle at this time; let us pray for God’s mercy and favor for them and that He will find work for Jeremiah. It is a very bad time in New Mexico for finding a job.and it seems to be getting works. So pray for them and their children that we can show Christ’s love to them.
God’s blessings to all of you.
Kay
We are praying Kay! Let us pray for Miracles in the life of Jo and the Manning family! AMEN!
This is AWESOME from Godvine……….
Forgiveness Bubbles
Thanks for listening to me, God
I need to talk to you
I know you love your children, Lord
No matter what they do
And though I try to do my best
I know I always should –
But I’m not perfect or grown up
Sometimes I’m not quite good
Right now my heart is cold and stained
With dirt and grime and sin
I need forgiveness bubbles, please
To make it clean again
If you wash my heart again
And rinse away the stain
The wicked things I’ve said and done
Will go right down the drain
My heart feels very dirty, God –
Won’t you please scrub it bright?
When you forgive me once again
My heart will be snow white
Please help me keep my heart clean, Lord
And teach me to do right
Help me keep my heart forever
Shinny penny bright
But if I happen to mess up
And need another scrub
I know you won’t forget me, God
Just plop me in your tub!
Lots of folks don’t understand
Forgiveness from above
They don’t know how my heart feels
When it is bathed in love
When I am sorry, you forgive
The problem doesn’t matter
When my heart is brand-new clean
My ugly feelings scatter
I’m growing up, and as I do
You’ll help me through my troubles
I won’t outgrow my love for you
And your forgiveness bubbles

October 3, 2012. You wonder and marvel at why some people feel you simply do not fit in. They also believe that, in some ways, you are beyond changing. How could they think change is impossible for you? Almost anyone would be disturbed by being seen as they see you, but you have made the right choice to bring this issue to Me. I say to you, “You have made Me to be a shield against all those who dislike you. You have indeed found that I alone am your glory and the lifter of your head. Never think that I feel sorry for you. Instead, I delight in you and love you always.” Psalm 3:2-3 (NASB) “Many are saying of my soul, “There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah. But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.” Ras Robinson Subscribe to “What the Lord Is Saying Today” October 3, 2012. There’s no way you could fully understand how much I love you, because you have never seen love that deep. Think of the most love you have ever seen or heard about. Multiply that times infinity then maybe you can understand My love for you. I knew you in your mother’s womb and have watched you grow. I have known when choices concerning you were bad and also when they were good. I have known when you made good choices and when you made bad ones. I was with you then and am with you now. You could turn to Me for help then and you can turn to Me now. Luke 15:20-23 (MSG) “He got right up and went home to his father. “When he was still a long way off, his father saw him. His heart pounding, he ran out, embraced him, and kissed him. The son started his speech: ‘Father, I’ve sinned against God, I’ve sinned before you; I don’t deserve to be called your son ever again.’ “But the father wasn’t listening. He was calling to the servants, ‘Quick. Bring a clean set of clothes and dress him. Put the family ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Then get a grain-fed heifer and roast it. We’re going to feast! We’re going to have a wonderful time! Bev Robinson Scroll down to see “Photo of the Day” from our ministry to children in the Philippines. October 3, 2012. Be the catalyst. Be the one who spurs others on to love and good deeds. Are you willing to look foolish for the sake of Me and My kingdom? You have desired to spread My good news to those you know and for some reason you get caught up in yourself. Your perception has become skewed because you feel you might embarrass yourself or be humiliated. I AM the Word. I AM the One who does the wooing. Be an example to those around you and speak about Me wherever you are. Someone did the same for you. Be My substance. Find a way to show THE WAY. Do you love Me? Ephesians 6:19-20 (NLT) “And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike.I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God’s ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for Him, as I should.” Kevin Robinson Regular Consumption of Sugary Beverages Linked to Increased Genetic Risk of Obesity Researchers from Harvard School of Public Health have found that greater consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is linked with a greater genetic susceptibility to high body mass index (BMI) and increased risk of obesity. The study reinforces the view that environmental and genetic factors may act together to shape obesity risk. The study appears Sept. 21 in an advance online edition of the New England Journal of Medicine. “Our study for the first time provides reproducible evidence from three prospective cohorts to show genetic and dietary factors – sugar-sweetened beverages – may mutually influence their effects on body weight and obesity risk. The findings may motivate further research on interactions between genomic variation and environmental factors regarding human health,” said Lu Qi, assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition at HSPH and senior author of the study. In the past three decades, consumption of SSBs has increased dramatically worldwide. Although widespread evidence supports a link between SSBs, obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes, there has been little research on whether environmental factors, such as drinking sugary beverages, influence genetic predisposition to obesity. The research was based on data from three large cohorts, 121,700 women in the Nurses’ Health Study, 51,529 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study and 25,000 in the Women’s Genome Health Study. All of the participants had completed food-frequency questionnaires detailing their food and drink consumption over time. The researchers analyzed data from 6,934 women from NHS, 4,423 men from HPFS, and 21,740 women from WGHS who were of European ancestry and for whom genotype data based on genome-wide association studies were available. Participants were divided into four groups according to how many sugary drinks they consumed: less than one serving of SSB per month, between 1-4 servings per month, between 2-6 servings per week, and one or more servings per day. To represent the overall genetic predisposition, a genetic predisposition score was calculated on the basis of the 32 single-nucleotide polymorphisms known to be associated with BMI (weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters). The results showed that the genetic effects on BMI and obesity risk among those who drank one or more SSBs per day were about twice as large as those who consumed less than one serving per month. The findings suggest that regular consumption of sugary beverages may amplify the genetic risk of obesity. In addition, individuals with greater genetic predisposition to obesity appear to be more susceptible to harmful effects of SSBs on BMI. “SSBs are one of the driving forces behind the obesity epidemic,” says Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at HSPH and a coauthor of this study. “The implication of our study is that the genetic effects of obesity can be offset by healthier food and beverage choices.” Bottom line here folks is DON’T drink sugary beverages if you value your health!
