Thank you Lord!

Let me share with you this email I awoke to this morning, This speaks to the hurt many have………
Our Friend who sent this email started out my writing..this reminds me of you, Dewey……….

“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.”

― Henri Nouwen

The one who shares my pain and has touched my wounds.

Our friend writes……
Things here not going so well. I have been turned down for every single job I sent resumes to.

I wonder just what to hell my value is anymore.

Most every day I will get at least one email or phone call that states the same as our friend does here. I am thankful people trust to ask for help. It takes guts to ask. Some hide in sorrow, drowning their sorrow in substance abuse, anger and other nasty things. Some spend money that they don’t have at Christmas time and that just makes matters worse. Let us pray for our friend, please, and all those hurting. One of the things we can do as people of God is to share our struggles and how God delivered us from our challenges. This devotional by Smith Wiigglesworth addresses the human struggle. Wigglesworth talks about the greatest struggle I had at one time in my life, RELINQUISHING CONTROL! RESTING IN THE GLORY OF GOD IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES! I burned to the ground years and years ago and God rose me up! He saved me. I was blind and could not see……read on……….

Have you relinquished control?
Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Genesis 32:24
Looking back on our spiritual journeys, we have held on to our own way too much of the time. When we come to the end of ourselves, God can begin to take control. The Scripture asks: “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” Amos 3:3. We cannot enter into the profound truths of God until we relinquish control, for “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption” 1 Cor. 15:50
Jacob’s name means “supplanter.” When Jacob came to the end of his plans, God had a better plan.
How slow we are to see that there is a better way.
It took me too long to relinquish, and when I did, WOW WEE! I am in so in love with our Lord and His way, not mine! Amen!
This comes from a Christmas gift I got last night from FGGAM Board Member Wanell Pate. Smith Wigglesworth on Spirit Filled Living! Thank you Wanell, we love you! Merry Christmas! Love the teaching’s of Wigglesworth!
We had so much fun last night at the FGGAM Board meeting! Praise God!
Here is a story sent to us by Dear friend Ann Quest out of Dallas………..

CHRISTMAS at the Gas Station

The old man sat in his gas station on a cold Christmas Eve. He hadn’t been anywhere in years since his wife had passed away. It was just another day to him. He didn’t hate Christmas, just couldn’t find a reason to celebrate. He was sitting there looking at the snow that had been falling for the last hour and wondering what it was all about when the door opened and a homeless man stepped through. Instead of throwing the man out, Old George as he was known by his customers, told the man to come and sit by the heater and warm up. “Thank you, but I don’t mean to intrude,” said the stranger. “I see you’re busy, I’ll just go.” “Not without something hot in your belly.” George said. He turned and opened a wide mouth Thermos and handed it to the stranger. “It ain’t much, but it’s hot and tasty. Stew … Made it myself. When you’re done, there’s coffee and it’s fresh.” Just at that moment he heard the “ding” of the driveway bell. “Excuse me, be right back,” George said. There in the driveway was an old ’53 Chevy. Steam was rolling out of the front.. The driver was panicked. “Mister can you help me!” said the driver, with a deep Spanish accent. “My wife is with child and my car is broken.” George opened the hood. It was bad. The block looked cracked from the cold, the car was dead. “You ain’t going in this thing,” George said as he turned away. “But Mister, please help …” The door of the office closed behind George as he went inside. He went to the office wall and got the keys to his old truck, and went back outside. He walked around the building, opened the garage, started the truck and drove it around to where the couple was waiting. “Here, take my truck,” he said. “She ain’t the best thing you ever looked at, but she runs real good.” George helped put the woman in the truck and watched as it sped off into the night. He turned and walked back inside the office. “Glad I gave ’em the truck, their tires were shot too. That ‘ol truck has brand new .” George thought he was talking to the stranger, but the man had gone. The Thermos was on the desk, empty, with a used coffee cup beside it. “Well, at least he got something in his belly,” George thought. George went back outside to see if the old Chevy would start. It cranked slowly, but it started. He pulled it into the garage where the truck had been. He thought he would tinker with it for something to do. Christmas Eve meant no customers. He discovered the the block hadn’t cracked, it was just the bottom hose on the radiator. “Well, shoot, I can fix this,” he said to himself. So he put a new one on. “Those tires ain’t gonna get ’em through the winter either.” He took the snow treads off of his wife’s old Lincoln. They were like new and he wasn’t going to drive the car anyway. As he was working, he heard shots being fired. He ran outside and beside a police car an officer lay on the cold ground. Bleeding from the left shoulder, the officer moaned, “Please help me.” George helped the officer inside as he remembered the training he had received in the Army as a medic. He knew the wound needed attention. “Pressure to stop the bleeding,” he thought. The uniform company had been there that morning and had left clean shop towels. He used those and duct tape to bind the wound. “Hey, they say duct tape can fix anythin’,” he said, trying to make the policeman feel at ease. “Something for pain,” George thought. All he had was the pills he used for his back. “These ought to work.” He put some water in a cup and gave the policeman the pills. “You hang in there, I’m going to get you an ambulance.” The phone was dead. “Maybe I can get one of your buddies on that there talk box out in your car.” He went out only to find that a bullet had gone into the dashboard destroying the two way radio. He went back in to find the policeman sitting up. “Thanks,” said the officer. “You could have left me there. The guy that shot me is still in the area.” George sat down beside him, “I would never leave an injured man in the Army and I ain’t gonna leave you.” George pulled back the bandage to check for bleeding. “Looks worse than what it is. Bullet passed right through ‘ya. Good thing it missed the important stuff though. I think with time your gonna be right as rain.” George got up and poured a cup of coffee. “How do you take it?” he asked. “None for me,” said the officer.. “Oh, yer gonna drink this. Best in the city. Too bad I ain’t got no donuts.” The officer laughed and winced at the same time. The front door of the office flew open. In burst a young man with a gun. “Give me all your cash! Do it now!” the young man yelled. His hand was shaking and George could tell that he had never done anything like this before. “That’s the guy that shot me!” exclaimed the officer. “Son, why are you doing this?” asked George, “You need to put the cannon away. Somebody else might get hurt.” The young man was confused. “Shut up old man, or I’ll shoot you, too. Now give me the cash!” The cop was reaching for his gun. “Put that thing away,” George said to the cop, “we got one too many in here now.” He turned his attention to the young man. “Son, it’s Christmas Eve. If you need money, well then, here. It ain’t much but it’s all I got. Now put that pea shooter away.” George pulled $150 out of his pocket and handed it to the young man, reaching for the barrel of the gun at the same time. The young man released his grip on the gun, fell to his knees and began to cry. “I’m not very good at this am I? All I wanted was to buy something for my wife and son,” he went on. “I’ve lost my job, my rent is due, my car got repossessed last week.” George handed the gun to the cop. “Son, we all get in a bit of squeeze now and then. The road gets hard sometimes, but we make it through the best we can.” He got the young man to his feet, and sat him down on a chair across from the cop. “Sometimes we do stupid things.” George handed the young man a cup of coffee. “Bein’ stupid is one of the things that makes us human. Comin’ in here with a gun ain’t the answer. Now sit there and get warm and we’ll sort this thing out.” The young man had stopped crying. He looked over to the cop. “Sorry I shot you. It just went off. I’m sorry officer.” “Shut up and drink your coffee ” the cop said. George could hear the sounds of sirens outside. A police car and an ambulance skidded to a halt. Two cops came through the door, guns drawn. “Chuck! You ok?” one of the cops asked the wounded officer. “Not bad for a guy who took a bullet. How did you find me?” “GPS locator in the car. Best thing since sliced bread. Who did this?” the other cop asked as he approached the young man. Chuck answered him, “I don’t know. The guy ran off into the dark. Just dropped his gun and ran.” George and the young man both looked puzzled at each other. “That guy work here?” the wounded cop continued. “Yep,” George said, “just hired him this morning. Boy lost his job.” The paramedics came in and loaded Chuck onto the stretcher. The young man leaned over the wounded cop and whispered, “Why?” Chuck just said, “Merry Christmas boy … and you too, George, and thanks for everything.” “Well, looks like you got one doozy of a break there. That ought to solve some of your problems.” George went into the back room and came out with a box. He pulled out a ring box. “Here you go, something for the little woman. I don’t think Martha would mind. She said it would come in handy some day.” The young man looked inside to see the biggest diamond ring he ever saw. “I can’t take this,” said the young man. “It means something to you.” “And now it means something to you,” replied George. “I got my memories. That’s all I need.” George reached into the box again. An airplane, a car and a truck appeared next. They were toys that the oil company had left for him to sell. “Here’s something for that little man of yours.” The young man began to cry again as he handed back the $150 that the old man had handed him earlier. “And what are you supposed to buy Christmas dinner with? You keep that too,” George said. “Now git home to your family.” The young man turned with tears streaming down his face. “I’ll be here in the morning for work, if that job offer is still good.” “Nope. I’m closed Christmas day,” George said. “See ya the day after.” George turned around to find that the stranger had returned. “Where’d you come from? I thought you left?” “I have been here. I have always been here,” said the stranger. “You say you don’t celebrate Christmas. Why?” “Well, after my wife passed away, I just couldn’t see what all the bother was. Puttin’ up a tree and all seemed a waste of a good pine tree. Bakin’ cookies like I used to with Martha just wasn’t the same by myself and besides I was gettin’ a little chubby.” The stranger put his hand on George’s shoulder. “But you do celebrate the holiday, George. You gave me food and drink and warmed me when I was cold and hungry. The woman with child will bear a son and he will become a great doctor. The policeman you helped will go on to save 19 people from being killed by terrorists. The young man who tried to rob you will make you a rich man and not take any for himself. “That is the spirit of the season and you keep it as good as any man.” George was taken aback by all this stranger had said. “And how do you know all this?” asked the old man. “Trust me, George. I have the inside track on this sort of thing. And when your days are done you will be with Martha again.” The stranger moved toward the door. “If you will excuse me, George, I have to go now. I have to go home where there is a big celebration planned.” George watched as the old leather jacket and the torn pants that the stranger was wearing turned into a white robe. A golden light began to fill the room. “You see, George … it’s My birthday. Merry Christmas.” George fell to his knees and replied, “Happy Birthday, Lord Jesus.” This story is better than any greeting card. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS!

If you love someone who seems impossible to save, take heart. “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” Luke 18:27
Here are Great Words from Pastor Jerry! WOW! This is the walk Sharon and I started 4 months ago, PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!
I have a great deal of respect and honor for all martyrs of our faith; make no mistake about that. However, what our world desperately needs are “living martyrs” for our faith! I mean Christians who have died to all aspects of the fleshly self for our Christ and His Kingdom! There are far too many believers who keep their faith secret for fear their profits will go down, or their living will become more difficult. Living martyrs “seek first the Kingdom of God” above all else, and trust Him in spite of the costs.

Here is a letter of Testimony we received after Preaching this past Sunday at Christ Full Deliverance Ministries……..
To introduce myself, I am a retired U.S. Navy veteran of 22 years and have been working as a convenience store manager for the last 14 years or so in addition to a few other odds and ends. In my service I saw two tours of duty in Vietnam; was involved in the Grenada operation; evacuated Beirut 3 different times (twice under fire) and the Panama operation. My last tour of duty was as the communications officer for the Admiral on the east coast in charge of all the navy seals. 41 days into relaxing on 45 days of terminal leave prior to my navy retirement, the Admiral called me on a Friday afternoon and informed me to pack my bags, my retirement papers were being red lined and that we would be flying out together first thing Sunday morning to Saudi Arabia and eventually performed duties in Iraq in Operation Desert Storm.
Originally I was brought up in a Godly home but over the years that home unfortunately turned very progressive. Fortunately, I retained enough of my beginnings to see me through my military career. Subsequently, I did not necessarily become progressive but I did loose touch with the Church and Our Lord.
Only a few months ago my elder brother located in Dallas Texas passed away due to heart and lung conditions which at his early age of 66 was a complete surprise and shock to me. GOD said, “Pastor Dewey (who had not even met me yet), Rick needs us”. Along came Pastor Dewey and my spirits lifted. Let me explain I love my dogs as much as I love my own children; (they are all Gods children), and they all taught me an awful lot about love, care and compassion. So, only weeks after my brothers lose, we lost “daddys little girl” Suzy-Q from old age at 13 years. My heart was being ripped to shreds. GOD said, “Pastor Dewey, Rick needs us”. Along came Pastor Dewey and my spirits lifted. Only a few weeks later I lost my job, (keeping in my mind, I have not been unemployed since I was 12 years old, which is 48 years ago). At the age of 60 and knowing the current job and employment market; I was devastated !!! GOD said, “Pastor Dewey, Rick needs us AGAIN !”. Along came Pastor Dewey and an ease came over me. I am still unemployed but an ease came over me that I havent felt for years. As Pastor Dewey states: a window has been shut so a door could be opened and I am now fearless that I will find my way through that door !!! (THIS GUY DOESNT GIVE UP; NOR DOES HIS BOSS !!!)
A week later Pastor Dewey invited me to attend service at Christ Full Deliverance Ministries in Rio Rancho which is lead by Pastor Marty Cooper where he was going to be the guest speaker. My wonderful wife and very best friend Sandy and I were immediately made to feel at home by Pastor Cooper and the entire congregation; our hearts both lifted. Ive been in front of many well-known and important speakers during my military career including President Reagan but I have never in my life been so moved and impressed with a speaker as I was that day in that homely little Church. Pastor Dewey & his Supervisors above brought me from near depression and once again made me realize how little my problems are and brought my life back into the reality of our LORD and the mission of our Church. Pastor Dewey and his lovely wife Sharon do not care if they minister to one or one hundred.
At sea, sailors relied on lighthouses to find their way safely to port.
Pastor Dewey and his lovely wife are a lighthouse for any and all
Souls to find their way back to our Lord and Savior.

Amazing Testimony from my friend Mistie………
My husband is absolutely amazing. As I watch my mom die of cancer and experience the hardest time of my life, I am also experiencing the best and closest time in my marriage. He is right by my side; for every bathroom trip, every wheelchair ride and all the crying in between. He talks to her about heaven and tells her how much he loves her and that her grand kids will be okay. I have never felt so loved. I am so thankful to God for him.
Let us pray for Mistie’s Mom and the whole family!
From our friends at the Lighthouse Church in Chimayo. Let us pray for complete healing! AMEN!
Good morning everyone. This is an urgent call to prayer for our brother, Bobby Gonzales. He will be going through surgery today. The doctors hope to open the knee and clean out any infection. Bobby is on major antibiotics and is in massive pain right now. The doctors’ reports tell that the worst case scenario could be leg amputation. BUT — OUR GOD IS GREATER!! Please pray that God would give the doctors and nurses wisdom – and more importantly – that Bobby’s knee and leg – and his entire body would be healed!! WE BELIEVE!!
Also – pray for Bobby’s family – that God would continue to give them strength.
Thank you in advance for standing with Bobby in prayer!
This will encourage you this day…………Thank you Chuck for sending this in. I have not seen this one for ages, it is a true story………it is amazing!
Beautiful story…. makes you understand that things happen for a reason
The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned
to their first ministry, to reopen a church
in suburban Brooklyn , arrived in early October
excited about their opportunities. When they saw
their church, it was very run down and needed
much work. They set a goal to have everything
done in time to have their first service
on Christmas Eve.
They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls,
painting, etc, and on December 18
were ahead of schedule and just about finished.

On December 19 a terrible tempest – a driving
rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days.

On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church.
His heart sank when he saw that the roof had
leaked, causing a large area of plaster about
20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall
of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit,
beginning about head high.
The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor,
and not knowing what else to do but postpone
the Christmas Eve service, headed home.
On the way he noticed that a local business was
having a flea market type sale for charity, so he
stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful,
handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth
with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross
embroidered right in the center. It was just
the right size to cover the hole in the front
wall. He bought it and headed back to the church.
By this time it had started to snow. An older
woman running from the opposite direction was
trying to catch the bus. She missed it. The pastor
invited her to wait in the warm church for
the next bus 45 minutes later.

She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor
while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put
up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor
could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and
it covered up the entire problem area.
Then he noticed the woman walking down the center
aisle. Her face was like a sheet. “Pastor,”
she asked, “where did you get that tablecloth?”
The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check
the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into
it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had
made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria .
The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor
told how he had just gotten “The Tablecloth”. The
woman explained that before the war she and
her husband were well-to-do people in Austria .
When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave.
Her husband was going to follow her the next week.
He was captured, sent to prison and never saw her
husband or her home again.
The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth;
but she made the pastor keep it for the church..
The pastor insisted on driving her home. That
was the least he could do. She lived on the other
side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn
for the day for a housecleaning job.
What a wonderful service they had on Christmas
Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the
spirit were great. At the end of the service, the
pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door
and many said that they would return.
One older man, whom the pastor recognized
from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the
pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he
wasn’t leaving.
The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on
the front wall because it was identical to one
that his wife had made years ago when
they lived in Austria before the war and how
could there be two tablecloths so much alike?
He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he
forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was
supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and
put in a prison. He never saw his wife or his home
again all the 35 years between.
The pastor asked him if he would allow him to
take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten
Island and to the same house where the pastor
had taken the woman three days earlier.
He helped the man climb the three flights of
stairs to the woman’s apartment, knocked on
the door and he saw the greatest Christmas
reunion he could ever imagine.
True Story – submitted by Pastor Rob Reid
who says God does work in mysterious ways.
I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for
you today, to guide you and protect you as you go
along your way. His love is always with you.. His
promises are true, and when we give Him all our
cares we know He will see us through.
So when the road you’re traveling seems
difficult at best, just remember I’m here
praying and God will do the rest. Pass this on
to those you want God to bless and remember
to send it back to the one who asked God to bless
you first.

Sonja sent this in……Thank you Sonja!
twas’ 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven’s gate.
their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
they were filled with..
such joy, they didn’t know what to say.
they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
“where are we?” asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
“this is heaven.” declared a small boy. “we’re spending Christmas at God’s house.”
when what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus’ face.
and as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, “I’ll take care of mom and dad.”
then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
“Let My power and presence re-enter this land!”
“may this country be delivered from the hands of fools”
“I’m taking back my nation. I’m taking back my schools!”
then He and the children stood up without a sound.
“come now my children, let me show you around.”
excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
and i heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
“in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT.”

This is from Posting that the Lord led me too that is so timely for the United States of America……..the posting is by Dallas McAllister Youth Speaker for Shepherd Ministries
Dear Dawson, Why did God make the earth and us along with it? He doesn’t really need us, so why did he create anything?
Great question, and you’re not the first to ask it. King David asked essentially the same thing:
“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers … what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?” (Psalm 8:3-4).
Why did God make us? To answer that, we need to know three things:
First, and you mentioned this in your question, it wasn’t because he needed us: “The God who made the world and everything in it … is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything” (Acts 17:24-25).
And he didn’t make us because he was lonely. Long before we were here, God already had “company” with his Son and the Holy Spirit, referred to in Genesis 1:26, “Let us make man in our own image.”
And he didn’t make us because he needed his ego fed. It’s not like God made us to satisfy some craving to be worshiped. God is totally secure in who he is—without us.
Second, despite not needing us, God chose to create us anyway, out of his great love: “I have loved you with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3). Yes, God loved us before he even created us. It’s impossible to get our heads around that idea, but it’s true; that’s what “everlasting” love means.
God is love (1 John 4:8), and because of that love and his wonderful creativity, he made us so we can enjoy all that he is and all that he’s done.
Third, God created us to fulfill his eternal plan. I could write pages and pages about this, but suffice it to say that God, in his infinite wisdom, chose to make us a part of his eternal plan.
What part do we play in this plan? Well, the Bible is full of instructions for how we should live our lives. But here are a few key verses to remember:

1. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:5).
2. “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39).
3. “We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).

We’re also part of the war between God and Satan, and God’s ultimate plan to defeat Satan. By putting our faith in God, we can defeat Satan and his lies (see Ephesians 6:10-18).
Finally, perhaps the most important part we play in God’s eternal plan is to point people to eternal life with God—through his Son Jesus Christ. The Bible calls this our “ministry of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).
That’s why we’re here. But it’s also important to note that we have a choice in all of this. When God created us, he didn’t make us pawns in some cosmic chess game. We’re not his toy soldiers. God gives us freedom of choice.
Bottom line: God may not need us, but we certainly need him. I hope you’ve made the choice to put your trust completely in him—and play an exciting part in his loving, eternal plan.

I was asked last night about the old radio program that radio stations used to do all over America: Swap Shop…….this is how I answered …….
It was called Swap Shop and I am one of the old guys that used to do that on radio when radio was radio I am old as dirt and was with Marconi when he invented radio swap shop was a great way to being people together and met basic needs of the community also did a program on KGCX Radio in Sidney, Montana and Williston, North dakota in the 70′s called Ask your neighbor, people would call up and ask a questions…..do you have a recipe for oyster dressing? Those were the great days of radio….
Miss those day…………

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Merry Christmas! Love to all!

“But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins” Matthew 1:20-21

December 17, 2013. It is time for the church to grow up, according to the Apostle Paul’s examination. He wrote to the church at Ephesus where both He and Timothy pastored. Both those pastors knew that God’s word would mature the saints of their church if they would practice it as both of them had done. The church had been given the ascension gifts of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher. These gifts are to flow and work together. There is enough power here to change the world. Get it done.

Ephesians 4:14-16 (NASB) “As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.”Ras Robinson

Let us pray for Rick!

Hi Dewey…sure looks like your Ministry is going great. I’m so happy for you. Yesterday I fell on some ice and broke my leg. I learned today that I will need surgery on it and they scheduled me for this coming Tuesday at 1:15. It would appreciate it if you could get in touch with the Lord and ask Him to help me through this. I’m terrified of doctors so this will be a stressful ordeal for me. This is the first bone I’ve broken in my 68 years on this earth. Thanks Dewey.

we pray the healing of Jesus Christ over Rick! Amen!

Dear Dewey-

Great cup Dewey. I am reading Neil T. Anderson’s “Victory Over Darkness”. It has a wonderful description and comparison/contrast of the Natural Man, the Spiritual Man, and the Fleshly Man. The whole book has been awesome thus far. It really helps you tap into the inheritance we have as believers in the Lord Jesus. We no longer have to remain in our sin. We can step into that new creation in Christ that we have a believers who are hidden with Christ in God. We can begin the journey to ultimately becoming what God created us to be which will be complete when our Savior returns.

Great book filled with so much hope and joy. The Lord has given us so much as his children. So often we aren’t aware of what that inheritance really means for us RIGHT NOW.

Blessings and peace to you Dewey in this most wondrous of seasons. We are so fortunate because it is Christmas for us every day!

Thank you for your wise words Rene! Thank you and Paul for being a monthly supporter of FGGAM!

389,760

That is the number of the lives touched by FGGAM for our Lord Jesus Christ in 2013 thus far.

My Pastor Eddie B has gently pushed me, or maybe a little shove or two, LOL! LOL! To report a numbers break down of the lives FGGAM is touching. I am preparing a report for the FGGAM Board meeting. I also have to report these numbers to my Pastor. Pastor Eddie says supporters like to see numbers of people reached. Okay here we go…..

From the Daily Cup, FGGAM web site, From Paul’s preaching in Magdalena, From Dewey’s Preaching around the state, From our TV program when it was running, From KDAZ Radio and Socorro radio programming, From Our Conferences, From our Counseling, Hospital visits, and in home visits.These are conservative figures, I backed them down (TV and Radio) as having been in the media biz I have learned to back down the radio and Tv figures from what they show.

I sent this earlier this morning to the Board and Advisers of FGGAM, and I notice the number should be more than what I indicated, as I left out Sharon’s Speaking engagements, so sorry honey, and the lives touched by our Column in the Windom paper. I just wanted to give you all an idea of how many lives FGGAM is touching for God’s Glory Alone!

I have a complete break down for the Board.

The little Ministry that can, with God’s Favor.

I believe this is no longer a little ministry. This Ministry has exploded for God’s Glory Alone.

God is showing me a focus for 2014 and I will be sharing that more at the FGGAM Board meeting.

Your gift will make an eternal difference………

You know what? We need your help! I want to share with you that having been in Christian Media, the Church, and now full time Ministry, of all the people that you serve in your Ministry, whether it is radio, tv, Church, or a ministry like FGGAM, only about 10% of folks ever give a love offering.

We need your help to help pay forward the work that FGGAM is doing for God’s Glory Alone. God is showing me that we need to be back on TV and to increase the number of radio stations our program is on. This ministry will never owe anybody any money, that is a direct order from God Himself! Amen! We also have daily bread needs. This ministry has grown from Dewey, Sharon, Paul, Jo to Issac and Laurie Milleson, (Isaac is our CTO, Chief Technical Officer) Rick and Sandy Stambaugh, Rick is our full-time news reporter. FGGAM is the only Christian media in New Mexico to have a full-time reporter 7 days a week. All of us volunteer our time to FGGAM, for God’s Glory Alone!

Your gift will make an eternal difference, as FGGAM brings the light of Jesus Christ to one person at a time!

Let me say this, this whole thing has grown beyond my expectations in just over a year, for God’s Glory Alone. My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus. .Acts 20:24

This whole thing is way, way, way beyond me……that is why I seek God every minute of the day…..it has grown so fast…..That is why I seek mentor’s……..and accountability. Amen!

If you feel moved to become a supporter of FGGAM you can give on line at www.fggam.org and set up a monthly giving plan or a one time gift.. You can also mail to FGGAM PO BOX 65516 Albuquerque, NM 87193.

I gotta share with you this post by Shari Hardway Johnson one of our 26 volunteer writers at FGGAM.ORG

I hope you enjoyed this point of view… Some might say it’s pretty narrow.Matthew 7:14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,and few there be that find it.
I also want to share with you this news report Pastor Paul Holt, the best news commentator on the planet, yes he is! I have stated that for years!
Over the past week, KOB 4 has been reporting on a Rio Rancho teacher making an insensitive remark to a African American student that wore a Santa Clause costume.
The Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho teacher rhetorically asked of Christopher Rougier, “Don’t you know Santa Clause is white?” KOB is reporting that the teacher was put on administrative leave for his poor choice of words.

The teacher who made the comments has apologized to the student and is on paid administrative leave. The students’ father, Michael Rougier, has asked that his son be removed from the classroom. But the NAACP says the work doesn’t end there, and that this should remind people how important it is to talk about racial issues in schools.
“The comments made by the teacher in the open classroom were offensive, outrageous and inflammatory,” NAACP president Dr. Harold Bailey said.

This story has made the rounds of the various talking heads at FOX, CNN, MSNBC and so on. Megan Kelly at Fox even got in a little hot water for saying, last week that Santa and Jesus were white.
A 13th-century St. Nicholas

How should a Christian react to such controversy? What side should one take when we want to love our neighbor.
It is difficult to say without knowing the true context of the words or how they were said. It is usually a bad idea in this politically correct culture to even jest this way even if you think you have earned the right to do so.
Mom always said, “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” I have never been steered wrong by such sage advice. When in doubt, don’t speak.

Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. -Proverbs 17:28

We just don’t know when what we think is hip or cool is actually offensive.
I think this whole thing could have been better handled by a strong principal using common sense backed by proper discipline. There is no need for the NAACP to be involved or for this story to even be reported, if it were nipped in the bud.
As to the (mostly) make believe person and race of Santa Clause. Old “Saint Nick” is an amalgamation of various historical and mythical figures. From the Turkish bishop who gave toys to children to the Nordic false god “Odin”, this figure picks up bits an pieces from all over.
This allows the mythical elf to be whatever anyone desires. Black, white or whatever you like. It was not until recent times that the image of Santa Clause was described in great detail.
The current image of Santa became popular in the United States and Canada in the 19th century due to the significant influence of Clement Clarke Moore’s 1823 poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas” and of caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast.This image has been maintained and reinforced through song, radio, television, children’s books and films.
I am a Christian pastor who discourages the promotion of Santa Clause anyway. This has been true for most bible believing Christians for centuries. Santa has many more roots in paganism than in Christianity.

Santa Clause is not a specific race or color because he is make believe, a children’s tale to get kids into bed at Christmas time. Jesus is a real person, but He is a Middle eastern Jewish man who is most likely brown in color.
All of this returns me to my ongoing view that without the law of God, we are searching for justice and we overreact to minor infractions of man’s made up morality.
