Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
We love you all! Thank you Tan Tian from Malaysia and James Hofflander from Mankato, Minn for you messages of love!
This morning we are PRAISING GOD! for all those who write for FGGAM! When I was posting write ups this morning from Shari Hardway Johnson of West Virgina, Shonda Savage of Texas, Karen Rowe of Efland, NC……I was very humbled by what God has and is doing! It brought to tears. We thank the Lord for all the Godly women who have gathered at the CUP and FGGAM to put forth such Godly words! It is just amazing. I thank the Lord for my wife Sharon who is right with me on this walk of faith! I thank Jo Holt who is our prayer warrior everyday at the Prayer Wall at FGGAM! Praying over all the needs of God’s people! This is all about God, ALL! Not us but GOD! I thank all of our partners, like Annette Garcia of Son Broadcasting who prayed with me this past Saturday over my brother Daryl,who has struggled for years. Our prayer was answered a few hours later! I bring this all up to stress how important it is for the Body of Christ to be together, always, for God! I thank all the men and women who have come together to move forward FGGAM for God’s Glory Alone! As I was doing the CUP two posts came in from New Mexico Christian Attorney David Standridge. David has been speaking all around the area on the U.S. Constitution. Please make sure to read his posts today at www.fggam.org Also if you would like David to speak at your event, just drop me a line.
I see before me God moving people closer and closer together for HIM!
Lift up your hands, Your Holy hands, Holy means set apart, set apart from the world. If we have Holy hands we set ourselves apart from the world and use our hands to do the work of God. Pastor Paul Holt
I praise God for Pastor Paul. I went to Magdalena, NM yesterday to hear him preach at his church, the Baptist Church of Magdalena! POWERFUL message! You can hear more from Pastor Paul today at Noon on AM 730 KDAZ, you can listen on line right here from the FGGAM website. Also we invite you to attend the FGGAM, “This is the World we live in” Conference Oct. 15th at the Santa Fe Church of God. Please check the front page of our web site for all the details.
It’s all about God, God is the answer for all questions, God is it!
Today we give special thanks to ALL THE PASTOR’s that have touched my life, the life of me and Sharon, our family that have helped guide us through the first year here at FGGAM! We love you all, and thank the Lord for you extra special during the month of October which is Pastor Appreciation Month!
TODAY IS A DAY OF SO MANY PRAISE NOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Praise God for Him allowing me and Sonja to get reacquainted after almost 40 years! We graduated in 1974 at Windom High School. Here is a note from Sonja on a Devotional that appeared in “Jesus Calling”
Dewey,
I thought of you when I read this on Friday. It is about the Holy Spirit. I hope you like it.
I am the Creator of Heaven and Earth: Lord of all that is and all that will ever be. Although I am unimaginably vast, I choose to dwell within you, permeating you with My Presence. Only in the spirit realm could Someone so infinitely great live within someone so very small. Be awed by the Power and the Glory of My Spirit within you!
Though the Holy Spirit is infinite, He deigns to be your Helper. He is always ready to offer assistance; all you need to do is ask. When the path be fore you looks easy and straightforward, you may be tempted to go it alone instead of relying on Me. This is when you are in the greatest danger of stumbling. Ask My Spirit to help you go each step of the way. Never neglect this glorious Source of strength within you.
John 14:16-17; John 16:7; Zechariah 4:6
Love in Jesus,
Sonja
Thank you so much for that Sonja! It ties right in with our Messages on the Holy Spirit!
We continue our study today from the book by Dr. Charles Stanley: “Living in the Power of the Holy Spirit” We will be giving away copies at the Conference on Oct.15th at the Santa Fe Church of God!
We Cannot Manipulate The Holy Spirit!
What does the Bible mean when Jesus said His disciples would be “endued with power”? It means that the Holy Spirit initiates and governs His relationship with us from start to finish. The Holy Spirit cannot be manipulated. You cannot make the Holy Spirit do anything. You cannot fill yourself with the Holy Spirit, no matter what formula or method or series of works you perform. You cannot govern the Holy Spirit. Neither can you eliminate the Holy Spirit from your life.
God imparts His Spirit to those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior. The work that the Holy Spirit does in our lives is His work, done at His initiative. (POWERFUL STUFF HUH!!!!!!!) motivated by His love and divine purpose for our lives. The Holy Spirit manifests Himself as he desires in our lives.
It is the Holy Spirit who does the work
