Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Thank you for stopping by for a CUP!
One of the many blessings of the Lord moving me into FGGAM is my marriage to Sharon is even stronger! This new road has brought us closer together, our love is stronger. It was very strong before FGGAM, but now more than ever. The Lord is using the talents of Sharon in many ways. She is now being offered to go out and speak nationally. We pray for the Lord’s Will to be done. The main thing for us is to do the Lord’s Will. This new work the Lord has us doing has helped me counsel people, it has become part of my testimony. We both are walking this earth for our Jesus! We bear much more fruit when we are aligned with God, His Word, wife or husband and family. You cannot have that out of order and be fully aligned with God. For some of my days I believe I had my life out of alignment……I had God, then my radio station work…..at times ahead of Sharon and the kid’s. I love my wife and kid’s and doggies dearly! Sharon is blooming like a red rose! The kid’s are all doing awesome! I think we sometimes “think” we have our life in order, when we really don’t.
What is so exciting to me in my walk with Jesus Christ is to learn the ways of our Lord everyday! To absorb His greatness! To be more Christ like! I pray you are taking time each morning to be with our Lord and His Word! You need at least an hour a day, just to be with Him! It is your most important relationship! During this time when you tune into God’s frequency He will talk to you! You will hear from God on how to go about your days! AMEN!

William Randolph Hearst, the great publisher, read about a painting and became greatly interested in it. Desperately desiring to own this painting, he sent his people all over to try to locate this painting but they couldn’t find it anywhere.
A year later, out of the blue, one of his employees came to him and told him that the painting had at last been found. Hearst, excited about the discovery, asked where it had been all this time. His employee said, “It was in your basement. You’ve owned it all the time.”
Mr. Hearst had never read the ledger that had a record of everything he owned. He did not understand the wealth that he already possessed. Many believers operate their lives never fully understanding all of the blessing that is available to them in Christ. Never forget that as a follower of Jesus Christ, you have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies. Live in the light of that truth.
I am so proud of my wife Sharon after her presentation yesterday on compassion and teamwork she was approached my a national company to speak to their employees around the country if you are interested your church or business just message me her husband does some speaking to lol lol

Dewey: Monica’s teaching from two Sundays ago, based in part on her reading of Watchman Nee’s “Spiritual Authority” Pastor Bill.
THE WAY OF THE LORD
· “1st Principle: Principle of Spirit—life in the Spirit” is OBEDIENCE.
· Our “spiritual development” is directly related to following and obeying God. If we love God we will sincerely desire and embrace His instructions—the words of Life/Truth.
· The most “intelligent” life we can have is an “Obedient Life In The Spirit”! Here, God is growing (increasing) our Spirit-man, in a Believer, through the ministry work of the Holy Spirit while at the same time decreasing our old nature (self-will/rule). He is exchanging and imparting the nature of Christ (new creation, born again, Spirit-man) for the fallen sinful nature of man. And in this He is restoring His government/rule/will/authority in the heart of man through the Blood-covenant, Melchizedek our High Priest. We have been purchased by the precious Blood of Jesus! The exchange of His government for our government is so that His will (authority) can be established on earth as it is in heaven through the Seed of Christ in us, the hope of glory.
· Hearing the initiatives of the Holy Spirit directs our life in the right way. We both learn and grow under the governmental counsels of His wise instructions/Word/Will throughout our life as we stay committed to CHRIST as both Savior and Lord.
· Life in the Spirit has everything to do with the Seed of Christ, not the seed of man. We cannot “reason” with the natural mind and expect to understand God’s ways. His ways are clearly higher than our ways. Therefore, our spiritual senses have to be “trained” (disciplined) to “obey” the Lord. We must recognize that natural reasoning of the mind is something we inherited from “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” which is an affront (insult) to God. That is to say that our natural minds are an enemy of God. As we choose to follow and obey the Lord through the life-walk of the Spirit, the root supply to the tree of knowledge of good and evil (human thought reasoning) is severed from having power in us. We are therefore exchanging our (natural) minds for the (supernatural) Mind of Christ. There is “full deliverance” when we no longer think independently of Christ. Here our souls become an unbroken habitation in Him and we are wholly obedient to Christ. (see 2 Cor. 10:4-6)
· All rebellion (acts of disobedience in thought, word and/or action) has to do with areas in our soul that has not yet been transformed-transfigured in Light. Disobedience is the mark of darkness ruling that keeps us from Truth—the Virtue of Life.
· Humbling ourselves is the first step to moving toward obedience. In all sense of the word, humility acknowledges God IS God! He is all power and all authority. Humility makes a way for our hearts to be enlarged so that we may “know” God’s ways. The bigger we are the smaller God is. The Bigger God is the smaller we are. (Principle of humility)
· Obedience makes “room” for God. Every act of obedience gives place for God to reign in us. This being His ultimate goal—to reign in the hearts of the sons of the Son of God (sons of obedience!). We have been “born from above” for the purpose of doing the Will of the Father! “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done!” Our destiny is to bring the Father’s “will” to earth and Jesus showed us this way. Life in the Spirit is all about Christ/obedience. Clearly we can see the direct relationship that the less we walk in the way of the Spirit the less we complete our destiny (book) from Heavens perspective. There is only one destiny…GOD! He is the plan, He is the purpose, He is the way, He is the Truth, He is the Light, He is the Life…He is to become the house of Revelation in our souls from which our Bread is to do the will of the Father.
