Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Charles Spurgeon – The Prince of Preachers
“We need, nowadays, dear Friends, to have a little less talk about what men are and much more actual living unto Jesus. The Lord work it in us by His Spirit!”
Here is a note from our Dear friend Linda after yesterdays posting on the Holy Spirit!
Dewey, approx. 50% of ‘christians’ DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT??!!
NOT BY POWER, NOR BY MIGHT, BUT BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD!
we know that satan and his cohorts are behind this deception, as it is God’s Holy Spirit (and I always say GOD’S Holy Spirit because there is a counterfeit) that teaches us, empowers us…… and besides the defilement of God’s Word, this deception, too, is due to LACK OF KNOWLEDGE! our enemy wants to disarm us…. and even leading some to the belief that he doesn’t even exist! it is indeed a spiritual battle!
MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!
Jesus said My sheep hear and know My voice…. and that of a stranger’s they will not follow. too many false converts are following another voice, the false Christ……
we are indeed in the last days.
thank you, Dewey, for being an obedient servant.
In His Love,
Linda Dodd

PS: I loved the ping pong balls falling….. watched captain kangaroo every morning as a kid. 🙂
Love you Linda!

Let me share with you why dumb, sinful things are done in this world…..No Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit dwelling in us enables us to live a Godly life and to express, through our words and deeds the good news of Jesus Christ with simplicity, clarity, and effectiveness. I would like to think that is what is going on here at FGGAM. When you don’t have the Holy Spirit in your life you are going to do and say dumb things, sinful things.
The Holy Spirit gives us WISDOM!
The Holy Spirit is also called the Spirit of Truth!
The one who guides us into making God’s choices and decisions, NOT OURS!!!!!!
This all comes from my study of the Holy Spirit, from the Bible, from my study of Dr. Stanley’s book, and from my own testimony! AMEN! PTL!!!!!!
The Holy Spirit is the One who leads us to the discovery of God’s plans!
Amen!
ARE YOU EXCITED!!!!!!! If not check your pulse now and call 9111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every person needs God’s wisdom in how to raise children, how to be a President, how to be a Congressmen or women! How to be a Pastor…..
How to have Godly relationships! Amen!
WE ARE ALL IN NEED OF THE WISDOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO MAKE IT SAFELY, PRODUCTIVELY, AND JOYFULLY THROUGH ANY GIVEN DAY!!!!!!!!!!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Acts 16:11-15
New International Version (NIV)
Lydia’s Conversion in Philippi
11 From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day we went on to Neapolis. 12 From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district[a] of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13 On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. 14 One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatiranamed Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.15 When she and the members of her household were baptized,she invited us to her home. “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
This is one of my favorite devotionals on the Favor of God. The Favor of God is misunderstood by many, it is not magic, it is of God. This was written by the late David Wilkerson.

The book of Haggai is a marvelous lesson on how to get and keep the blessing and favor of the Lord. In utter simplicity the prophet Haggai outlines how God’s children can live and walk under God’s continual blessing and favor.
Yet Haggai also shows the causes and reasons why people lose God’s blessing – and what they must do to come back into His favor! This is true for nations, families, individuals.
The wonderful truth is, God blesses those who walk in faithfulness – He shows favor to those who favor Him. I don’t know about you, but I love to be around people who have the favor of God! There is something of the exuberance of Christ about them. And they have a settled peace. You don’t have to worry from one day to the next whether they’re up or down, because there is a steadiness about their walk with God.
One of the greatest sorrows a pastor has to bear, however, is to witness the awful changes that take place in Christians who go sour. These are believers who at one time were on fire for God, dedicated and zealous for His work. They were happy, blessed, growing in faith, maturing spiritually.
Then one day you began to sense that something had gone wrong. A frown had replaced their smile. Suddenly they’d stopped growing. Spiritual decay had set in!
This happens to married couples! Perhaps it is true of your marriage. Only a year or so ago, you both seemed so happy. There was a spark in your eyes, and you were sweethearts. Everywhere you turned God was blessing you. People around you thought nothing could ever come between you. You both enjoyed the fullness of God’s favor.
But now something is wrong. In a matter of just months, you both are walking in sorrow! You can’t agree on anything – there is constant misunderstanding between you. Your love for each other and for God’s work is waning. His blessing and favor on your marriage has been withdrawn!
This also happens to individual Christians! I have been greatly blessed by the faithfulness and zeal of many individual Christians, many of whom are single. They’re so full of joy, excited about the Word of God, always putting the Lord’s work first, When I see them I say to myself, “There goes one who will never quit and never grow stale. He [or she] is determined to go all the way with the Lord!”
Yet, sadly, some of these zealous believers begin to change. They start missing meetings, whereas they used to come to every service. And a sad, dour look has swept over their countenance, The blessing of God is no longer there – you can almost see it draining out of them!
Now when I see them, I wonder, “Lord – what happened? How could they just drift away? How did such coldness get into their spirit? How could they forget the secret of having Your blessing and favor upon them?”
The same thing happens to nations! From the day God commanded His blessings upon Israel, down to modern-day America – nations that once lived under bountiful goodness soon forget God! They forget why He blessed them – and they become His enemies, going from favor to awful judgments!
No nation was ever so blessed as Israel. God told them, “I picked you out of all the peoples of the nations – and I carried you in My arms! I found you, bathed and clothed you. But then you turned sour on Me! You turned against Me, committing spiritual adultery!”
Like Israel, America has lost God’s blessing and favor! At one time this nation was greatly blessed. Our forefathers were, for the most part, godly men. And up to just a few years ago, America blessed the whole world as the number-one lender nation. Not anymore! We are now the number-one debtor nation, owing more money than the rest of the world combined! We’re so deep in debt we’ll never get out!
What has happened to America? It has lost its soul, its blessing, its favor with God! No longer are we one nation under Him – because He has turned us over to our sins. We have become godless – and now we are under His divine discipline!
How do nations, families, individuals lose the blessing and favor of God? What causes this fall into ruin and shame? Haggai lists three reasons for this:
