Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Thank you for coming by for a CUP! We love you!
Love to write the CUP everyday to you! We are into the 16th year of the Daily CUP! PRAISE GOD!
As many of you know one of my favorite verses of the Bible is found at Proverbs 16:24..
Kind words are like honey to the soul and healthy for the body.
You can imagine then, how I felt when this letter to the Editor appeared in the Windom Newspaper,
my hometown paper. www.windomnews.com It is written by my Dear friend Paul Dokken.

Moede’s infectious enthusiasm shines through in his Daily Cup
As a graduate of Windom’s Class of 1973, I have been following the work of Windom native, Pastor Dewey Moede. Dewey has made quite a name in the southwestern United States as a radio and TV personality. He offers the perfect opportunity to begin your day with a wonderful devotional called Dewey’s Daily Cup. Dewey’s enthusiasm for the Lord is infectious. You can check it out for yourself at: “For God’s Glory Alone Ministries.” It is a fun website and has frequent news about many Windomites. - Paul Dokken Harrisburg, SD For God’s Glory Alone Paul! Then this showed up in my mail box………. It’s true. Blessings to you and Sharon my friend, Keep up that enthusiasm for the Lord. It’s contagious! God bless. Pastor Don and Dorothy Kimbro It is the enthusiasm that God has placed in me! It’s all about God! God wants a team not a fan club! AMEN! For God’s Glory Alone! AMEN! Let us tell His story! It’s an enthusiasm based on God’s Word! It’s the story we all need to tell in the market place! AMEN! Yesterday I had four counseling sessions. They were all blessed by God. Yesterday God also had me meet several other people that I did not know I was to meet, but God put me in their path. It was a day to share God’s promises with people. God has made over 3,500 promises to us and never breaks a promises He is God. My testimony to you is that God sets us free……FREE! No bondage to man and the ways of this world! It is the most beautiful thing ever! You will feel like you are floating on air!!!!! Yesterday, I said to God who would be meeting all these folks you have sent me to meet if I was not here, He said, that is why I called you. So then I thought of all the folks that we, the Body of Christ, are missing. FGGAM is a Church with no walls, walking and driving the streets for Jesus Christ!! AMEN! One lady yesterday was on her cell phone on the sidewalk and I could hear her say, “I don’t want to get my hopes up!” God has me say right there to her, “Young lady you have every right in our Lord to have your hopes HIGH IN HIM! She looked at me and said, “Thank you sir!”. I said, “Young lady God loves you and wants to give you to have the desires of your heart! Then I heard you hubby or boyfriend on the phone say, “That’s right Hon!” Now that is a divine appointment by God. I am finding this happening more and more everyday I call this Freedom in our Lord, turning our whole life over to him and doing what He wants us to do each day instead of what we want to do. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit will carry us through the day to say and do the work of God! AMEN! This is why you and me are here on earth! For heavens sake! If a church does not care about people far from God then they do not care about the Gospel! Right now I am dealing with many on drugs. Also relapses. Please pray over this. Pray for those Parents whose hearts are broken. This is from Chuck Swindol………… Be strong and courageous! The promise of God is that He will not allow His children to beg bread. He will care for our needs and that’s the promise you can claim. Since He took care of our greatest need at Calvary by giving us Christ, then you can be sure He will take care of everything else He considers important for us. Romans 12:1-2 tells us the steps of how to know God’s will for your life: “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” The very first verse in this passage tells us we are to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice to God. A sacrifice was a very common part of worship among the Old Testament Israelites. Sacrifices were offered to God for a variety of reasons, but the sacrifice must contain blood. Is it any wonder, then, that the ultimate sacrifice which was Jesus on the cross, would naturally shed blood for the atonement of sins? Because He offered His body as a sacrificial offering for the reconciliation between God and the children of God, we too should offer our bodies as a sacrifice. He showered His mercy upon us by giving us His Son. There is no better sacrifice than for us to offer ourselves to God. This includes surrendering our lives, both spiritual and physical, to Almighty God, who is Creator over us all. Hebrews 13:21 says that Jesus will “equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ to whom be glory for ever and ever.” Next, we are NOT to conform to the pattern of this world. The dictionary defines conform as “to be in agreement or accord.” That means we must turn our backs on what the world may offer us that is not in accordance with the Word of God, especially if the world is condoning blatant sin which God would not want us to participate in. And, we should be transformed which means to change the nature, function, or condition of, by the renewing of our minds. When something is renewed, we bring it into being, we restore, regain, or replenish. When we have done all of this, the Scripture says we will be able to test and approve what is God’s will. We will know His good and perfect will. His perfect will is what He ordains for our lives, but if we miss the mark on His perfect will, He does not throw us away as misfits. Rather, if we choose his pleasing will, we are making the second choice God will condone. The last choice is pleasing to God. He would rather His perfect will be established, but because of His abundant love for us, we are still loved and desired as His children. The steps to know God’s will for your life from the Romans 12:1-2 are: surrendering our lives, not conforming to what the world offers; and renewal of our minds so we will be transformed. To renew our minds, we study God’s Word to know Him better, to learn His laws and precepts. We are then transformed into being more Christ-like. Not conforming to the world is not easy especially since we are raised in the world, and there is so much pressure from family, friends, etc., to live life as they live it. It takes prayer and perseverance to turn our backs on the world when we know it is wrong. We must love God with all our heart, soul, and mind in order to make that change. Surrendering is not easily attained because surrender means to give up control. Many of us feel we have lost ourselves if we give up control. Yet, the Word says in Matthew 10:39, “Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” It is best to ask the Holy Spirit to guide and direct you. Also, another way to know God’s will for your life is to listen to that still small voice inside of you. The burden of the call upon your life will outweigh your ambitions which you have established. If the Lord wants you to do a specific work for Him, He will give you a burden for that work. Your heart will keep drawing you to that specific task or work. As the day draws closer for you to accomplish and know God’s will for your life, your burden will become heavier to accomplish it. If you run away from God’s will, you will always go back because the burden will not go away. The burden also has love attached. And, of course, when we pray for His will to be made known in our lives, He will tell us. As Psalm 143:10 says, “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.” Thank you for sharing Darlene! God Bless you always!
