Dear Readers of FGGAM,
Hello from NC. It is a cold and rainy day again here today. I wonder, how is the weather where you live? Regardless of the weather, we can rise up together to lift up praise to God, whom is our Father in Heaven; and to whom lives in us through Christ Jesus, our personal Savior and Lord.
I personally thank God that we can gather together in this warm place to celebrate and learn more and more about the Christ! To deepen our knowledge as we share with each other, is a beautiful thing to me! I praise God for whom He Is; and thank Him for you, and for FGGAM, that to me, it is a place to come in, and go to, like a Library, where knowledge is available for checking it out! The knowledge we hope that you find is the Good News of Jesus. Yes, God has made His relationship with you personal! God loves you my friend!
It doesn’t take but a breath and a pause …
Have you made your confession to God that you believe His testimony about His Son, and His love for you? When you do, you will discover that God loves us first and best, so that we can learn what it is to love, and be loved by God.
Note from Jesus: It is written in Red, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance (Luke 5:32, KJV).”
Now, Something personal
I always like to start our time here on FGGAM with something personal in the message the Lord Jesus gives me each day; and as always, I believe it always fits just right, because of the God whom works all things together for the good to them that love God.
This morning, I was asking my son and husband about how electricity works, specifically, because I had it mentioned in my daily devotion already. Friends, we need each other to gain understanding about things we don’t know, because God has blessed us each with different counterparts and weights to help each other in our understanding to really comprehend what God is saying to us!
As the morning went on and I took a few notes before breakfast was over, after we said our family morning prayers, Robert left for work. Later, Daniel called out from his bedroom, “Has daddy left yet?” I replied, “Yes, son. What is it that you need?” He entered into the kitchen, as he was gathering his school things together and said, “I wanted to ask dad if I could take my earphones to school today; but since he is not here, I won’t take them.”
Wow! This is the picture that God wants us to understand about abiding in His Word! I went on to teach / bring up the light of understanding to my son’s mind, this message. And, my son, said, “So I am teaching myself?” I replied, “Son, you have the greatest teacher who ever lived living on the inside of you! Jesus is teaching you all things, according to His Word!” This is how the Father God wants us to respond to all things; and in all life dilemmas!
When we are not certain we have our Father’s permission to move on something, go back to the last thing God told you; and wait until you speak to Him about a question again, but be willing to obey what God, our Father in Heaven tells us is best for us, and others around us, even if we don’t completely understand the why, just yet!
With that introduction, I hope this devotion is a blessing to you! At the end, the Lord showed me that Sunday’s Devotion tied right on in. Be blessed friends! Lived loved! And love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength!
Because, like God 1st loved us, we love God; if you try to plug in to the world without first plugging in to God, it is of little effect; if any positive effect at all. We can’t shine alone … BUT GOD! Greater is God who is in you than he that is in the world! Like I was taught to plug in my computer, it is not worth the risk to blow up my computer (brain) by skipping the order of which to plug into first – to the world / or to my God. Jesus is the Light of the world!
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12, KJV).”

Daily Devotion to God’s Holy Word
Let the Light of the Lord get out of you to Shine!
Learning how to read the Bible has changed my life! We get the inside scoop of just what we need every day if we seek what we need & read!
There is hope & renewal in God’s Word!
Relationships with people can be tuff, but God’s Word renews our inner being by the teaching of Christ!
To experience the Bible LIGHT up what we need to remember about who God is & How great is His LOVE for us will renew our soul in the very presence of God!
Our heart is the HEART of the story God is writing! A story that began many years ago! And a story God has always known that our heart would be made from the beginning to get to the end of the beginning to eternally shaped (not in iniquity), but for all who loves Jesus (in the pureness of the heart of God)!
This is a spiritual transformation!!!
Electricity is made by exciting electrons! ~ Like Reading the Word of God will excite the LIFE / SPIRIT in us to believe; & the Word of Christ will cause “The LIGHT of understanding” to turn on!
As electricity is used to run things, Our heart (spirit) runs our mind, because as it is written Where your heart is, there will be your treasure also.
The Holy Spirit is the Mind of Christ! But there are other unholy / evil spirits loosed in this world also. Electricity can be understood & so can spiritual matters be comprehended.
It is a matter of heart in what we choose to desire…
A movement happens! As Solar Energy is collected from the sun, converted to electricity & is either stored or sent back to the grid; so it is that we send our praise back to God and also store knowledge for future use .
Something happens! Who is your spiritual source of power? God is a Spirit and God is the SOURCE of our Holy Spiritual Transformation!
Let the teaching of Christ live inside you richly. Use all wisdom to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:16 ERV
Something to think about… Who is Jesus to you?
Love in Christ,
