Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Thank you for stopping by for a CUP of encouragement!

I want to share with you this day more than ever, that God speaks to me in my sleep, God show’s me things. This started years ago but is now increasing.Sharon says of late I have been in such a deep, deep sleep at night. It is the peace of the Lord. What the Lord is telling me is to be obedient, be absolutely obedient. The other thing He is stressing to me is to keep walking for Him, keep on the path I have put before you, says the Lord. He also is bringing me and Pastor Paul Holt closer together to be watchman on the wall for Him and bringing our wives with us in doing this work. I am seeing right before my eye’s much of the results of the Lord’s work. I am trying not to get in the way! In this CUP I have posted on standing in the gap for God, please read it.

PS If I could bottle it….I would give everyone a bottle, but it can be found in your Bible!

Sharon and hit the road at 430 Sunday to head down to First Baptist Church in Magdalena to join in on the Sunrise service with Pastor Paul Holt Praise be to God a great time of worship and praise Amen!! Love all the folks in Magdalena!!! By the way if you were not able to worship yesterday listen to Pastor Paul’s Resurrection Sunday message at www.fggam.org an Awesome message you will be blessed!! For Gods Glory Alone!!!! By the way Pastor Paul whipped up a mean batch of pancakes afterwards! WOW!

March 25, 2013. You received a new heart and a new spirit. Moreover, I put my Spirit in you, enabling you to do what I command. You are not who you once were. All things have changed. I have given you a fresh start with no history for you since the exchange of hearts took place and you received the Spirit. There is nothing from your past to hold you back. Your future is as bright as the noon day sun. I have plans to bless you and not to hinder you in any way.

Ezekiel 36:26-27 (MSG) “I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed.” Ras Robinson

April 1, 2013. Have you ever wondered why you have the confidence you possess? It is because Christ in you has become your rock foundation which cannot be moved. Additionally, He is your fortress, the strong tower you can turn to and depend upon. All you are now doing is being done at His command to you. Obedience is your key to continued success. Actually, your success is because He is leading and guiding you. You are in a most favored position. Be very careful in this season. Keep Jesus as Lord.

Psalm 31:3 (NASB) “For You are my rock and my fortress; for Your name’s sake You will lead me and guide me.” Ras Robinson

Yesterday Dave Ryan of the Magdalena First Baptist Church said, “I watch you every Saturday, you say things that nobody else on TV is saying, a great program with Pastor Paul.”

Mabel Lopez, “You say things many Pastor’s are afraid to say.”

Pastor Mark Tross, “You say the things many people wish they could say.”

I do not boast in myself…I boast in our Lord for what He is doing in my life, Sharon’s life and Pastor Paul and his wife Josie. The Lord continues to groom us for the mission He has us on to bring his truth forward and stand in the gap for Him.(LATTER ON IN THIS CUP I HAVE A WRITING ON STANDING IN THE GAP FOR GOD,please read)

I see the hunger in People’s eye’s for the truth, in their voices, in their actions.

As we drink this CUP today I want to share this posting I got from The Navigator’s. My Mom Ruth is in heaven, and many called her my Dad’s shadow. She was right beside my Dad as Bus Supervisor back home and his 6 day a week job, and right beside him in his duties as Assn’t Fire Chief, Mom also was head cook at Winfair School, took care of us 4 kid’s…….just a Godly example of her Biblical name, Ruth………

Big Doors Swing on Small Hinges

Mike Treneer, International President of The Navigators
As we read the Old Testament, what is the hinge point that begins to turn people back to God after the moral and spiritual decline of Judges so that we end up with Samuel and David and Solomon? It’s the story of two women, Ruth and Hannah. Their stories are the hinges upon which the mighty doors of God’s purposes swing.
I love the story of Ruth. Her story captures this wonderful quality of God: He loves to work through ordinary people.
Ruth was an ordinary person. An immigrant. A widow. A daughter-in-law. She was destitute. Her only means of support was the Old Testament equivalent of welfare. Maybe Ruth wasn’t an ordinary person; maybe she was sub-ordinary. And yet Ruth had extraordinary impact. She impacted her family. The talk in the community was that this widow, this immigrant, was better than seven sons. What a testimony!
But her influence did not stop there. Ruth is one of four women mentioned in the line of Christ. Is that not astounding? That’s why I love the story of Ruth.
Big doors swing on small hinges, and that prevents any of us from crossing ourselves off of God’s to-do list, from thinking that our lives don’t matter in the purposes of God. We must conclude that we serve, we love, we trust an extraordinary God who delights in doing the most amazing things through the most ordinary people.

I preach and teach much on standing in the gap for God and that is a must! I believe with my whole heart that is why God put me and Sharon, Paul and Josie together here at FGGAM, to stand in the gap for Him at this time.

Thank the Lord for my Mom Ruth! I am looking at her picture right now!
The message you just read about Ruth, fit’s this next message…..just read it and pray over all you have drank this morning here at the CUP! AMEN!

Stand In The Gap?
Ezekiel 22:30
Ezekiel catalogs the sins of the people of God in this chapter. The two main groups of people that are guilty of gross sins are theProphets/Priests (Gods leaders) (vs. 25, 26, 28), and the princes (political leaders – v. 27). With these three powerful groups opposing God it is no wonder the rest of the people of the land had followed them into the ways of sin.
The sin of the people had gotten so bad that God had begun to SEEK out a person who would intercede for the land, but He found none (v. 30). Because God found no one to stand in the gap, He must go on with His plan to punish the people (v. 31).
Our gap is the same today…
I. God’s PLAN / PURSUIT— A Man (“I sought for A MAN..”). God’s plan has always been men! E.M. Bounds said, “Men look for better methods… God is looking for better MEN!”
A. God is looking down from heaven… He is looking all over the world… He is looking up and down the pews of this church… SEEKING a man / woman to stand in the gap!
1. Isaiah 6:8 – Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
2. Queen Esther stood in the gap! At the
risk of her life, she stood between her people
Haman’s plot to destroy them.
3. Consider Abraham’s plea to God for 10
righteous people in Sodom that it might be
spared.
4. When Israel murmured against Moses,
God told Moses, “Get you up from among this
congregation, that I may consume them as in
a moment.” Moses told Aaron to quickly go
out with a censer and make atonement for the
people because of God’s wrath. Aaron when
out and the Bible says, “He stood between
the dead and the living; and the plague was
stayed.”
Let’s stand in the gap!
· Between Good and Evil—Psa 94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
· Between Idleness and action
· Between the Living and the Dead
· Between Instruction and Ignorance
· Between Intercession and Indifference
B. That is where God wants us today! He wants individuals…
1. Individuals who will make themselves available (Moses, Isaiah).
2. Individuals who will make a difference.

II. God’s PLACE — A Gap (“…that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land…”).
A “gap” is a break or breach. The word “gap” only occurs twice in the Bible—Both times in Ezekiel (13:5; 22:30). Each time it has to do with a breach in a hedge or barrier.
A hedge (wall) was a protective thing in the Bible. We have fences around our yards to protect our children. It keeps them IN and away from harmful elements and keeps bad things out of our yards. If there is a gap, either our children can get out, or harm can get in.
A. “…before ME…” – As God’s representative.
B. “for THE LAND…” – To the world, our community, our homes, our schools, our neighborhood, our place of employment.
1. There are “gaps” that only you can fill. There are “gaps” that only I can fill.
2. God is looking for a Christian wife to stand in the gap for her unsaved husband.
3. God is looking for a Christian teenager to stand in gap at their school.
4. I praise God for my wife Sharon, Brother Paul and Sister Josie who are standing in the gap with me here at FGGAM!
5. I praise God for those who are supporting FGGAM and standing in the gap with us, planting sees to bring forth excellent fruit for the Lord!

Over 2,500 people have visited the FGGAM web site since Feb. 1st. www.fggam.org. God has put us in a position to bring the news to all through a Biblical lens and also at this web site the encouragement people need in their daily walk with Jesus Christ.
I want to encourage you to picture Jesus right beside you every moment of your day. He is their, grab His hand.

Standing in the gap! When we are on the radio like today at NOON on KADZ AM 730 we can see the hit’s increase to the FGGAM web site and also after the program. People are hungry for the truth, they want the truth, no matter what the secular media says! We have tremendous viewership of our TV program on KAZQ CH 32 Saturdays at 6pm.
Lord, thank YOU for what YOU are doing! It is all about God and answering the call He has placed on you! When you answer His call, not yours, AWESOME things will happen for the Kingdom! AMEN! It’s not us, it’s GOD! When you add all those folks going to the FGGAM web site and all those reading the Daily CUP it just blow’s me away what God is doing!
By the way you can listen to us on KDZA all over the world at www.am730.cc and also on Sky Angel. Noon Monday’s.

We must Stand in the gap and be salt and Light to the World! AMEN!

Board members of FGGAM concurred the other night in our meeting at Cross of Hope, in saying that FGGAM has become a Church without walls. AMEN!!!!!!

III. God’s PURPOSE — A Warning (“…that I should not destroy it…”).
A. When God was ready to destroy Israel at Mt. Sinai for their idolatry, Moses stood in the gap and interceded on their behalf and they were spared.
B. Broad is the way that leads to destruction (Mt. 7:13). The gap is large because the way is so broad.
C. Hosea 4:6 – My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…
1. Knowledge of the Gospel.
2. Knowledge of God’s commission

IV. God’s PAIN — A Tragedy (“…but I found NONE.”)
A. NONE convicted enough to take the challenge of building up God’s wall.
B. NONE compassionate enough to care for others in need of God.
C. NONE courageous enough to go against the flow of the crowd.
D. NONE consecrated enough to surrender their talents, time, and treasures for God’s service.

Conc. We should stand in the gap because Jesus stood in the gap for us on Calvary’s cross!
· There are ministries with GAPS because of lack of workers.
· There are mission fields that need preachers.
· There are schools, neighborhoods, and businesses that need witnesses

AMEN!

We received this letter last week from Attorney David Standrige:

Dewey,

I wanted to take a quick moment to drop you a note about some important things on my mind. I’ve known you for many years. Our relationship began on a professional level but quickly turned to a friendship. During that time I’ve seen you grow so much as a husband, Pastor, and leader. You’ve impacted our great State of NM in more ways than you will ever know. During the years you’ve gone through your own personal trials, but each time have found triumph over the circumstances because of your faith. None of us are perfect, but you’ve always done what you believe the Lord has called you to do. I’ve seen you, on multiple occasions, ask the question “What is the best Christian response to this situation.” That speaks volumes to me. At times your attitude and life approach have inspired and convicted me to live at a higher level. Thank you for that example.

Now you are embarking in a great, timely crusade for the very heart of our state. While you continue in your ministry of Faith, Grace and Love of Jesus Christ, you are choosing to take a stand for principles and values that mark you in today’s society. I find it very refreshing to see someone stand so strong for the values we cherish and I know others feel the same way. I encourage those I come in contact with to support For God’s Glory Alone, through their prayers and finances. I know that your work will only grow and strengthen our great state with the help of like minded people unifying for the sake of our values. I pray that people are moved to generously support your efforts at shining the light in New Mexico. Best wishes my friend for your continued success. Know that you have a partner and friend in me!

For the firm,

David A. Standridge
