The Lord Jesus made a special promise of His return to encourage His disciples

Dear family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Thank you for stopping by for a CUP!

Today is our son’s Lars 23rd birthday! PRAISE GOD for his life. As I reflect on the life of Lars it makes me think of the impact the prayers many of you have said and are saying for Lars. He struggled in school at times because he found it boring. He was building computers when he was 5 years old. He loved movies and animation. He made up his mind to go to Columbia in Chicago. He wanted to fly, I said I want to drive you there so I can spend a couple days just with you before we release you to the World. Many of you know how tough it was for me to let go. I cried like a baby for about 100 miles or longer after leaving him in Chicago. Your prayers, the prayers of Sharon and me and our family have been so answered in his life. He now is a Teachers Aid at Columbia and is excelling in cinematography. He is on movie shoots most weekends. I can also look back on my Spiritual father, Pastor Larry Moss and his son Greg who passed on several years ago, as Godly men who played a role in Lars growing up as they mentored to him in DLD School at Heights Cumberland. Greg spent some good time with Lars as did Linda and Miss Kay at DLD. Prayers are lifted up for you all this day in thanks for your prayers for Lars and our family.

As many of you know we here at FGGAM stand in the gap for God on the Sanctity of life and marriage. This is nothing new for me as we have done this for years, even before God sent us here to FGGAM.

When I first heard the news yesterday coming out of Santa Fe, NM that the Mayor and City Attorney declaring that same sex marriage is legal in New Mexico, I was led to this scripture………

But seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. Matt. 6:33

As a whole now the United States of America is not seeking His Kingdom and His Righteousness.

Most in America are making up the laws of the land without God and His Word.

That is the America we live in this day.

Many in the Church are jumping ship on God also.

Many no longer look at God as our God and Authority.

They make it up for self-satisfaction and their will.

We have many articles and video’s posted at www.fggam.org on these issues today. Please visit us.

Many Republicans, who as a party have stood in the gap for God are jumping ship on God.

I was asked yesterday by a Pastor, what are we going to do? We are losing the battle.

There is no panic in Heaven!

Do not show an unbelieving world what they want to see, a bunch of angry Christians reacting to the news of the day.

My daughter-in-law sent the words at the top of the post today: May your life preach more loudly than your words. AMEN!

Many put forth a bad testimony on how they deal with an unbelieving world. Do it in love and by the Word of God. If you are tuned in to God, He will show you what to do and say.

God is certainly not telling anyone to retreat or give up….read His Word…..Occupy until I come back, He says!

The Promise of His Coming
The Lord Jesus made a special promise of His return to encourage His disciples during
the time of His absence. It is contained in the words “until I come back” (NASB) or
“while I am coming” (Lk. 19:13; Jn. 14:3). In giving this promise, our Lord expressed
His desire that we should be servants who wait for their Master. But not only that, He
wants us to be diligently occupied with His interests in this world, the scene of His
rejection. Are we servants the Lord can rely on?
This important theme of our service—in view of His coming—is linked with the various
roles Christians have as (1) bondmen, (2) disciples, (3) brothers and sisters, (4) witnesses,
and (5) lovers of the Lord Jesus Christ. We will consider how the expectation of His
coming affects us in these five areas. Moreover, when we look at these five relationships
let us ask ourselves the following questions: Am I really a bondman of Christ, a true
disciple, a good brother or sister, a faithful witness, and do I really love the Lord?

My friends, we must stand in the gap for God, if not us, who?

Be encouraged this day, not discouraged!

I am more encouraged this day in the Lord than I was yesterday, as God has shown me at all times His love, His truths! AMEN!

I experienced once again yesterday, the favor of God, no charge at the dentist office and Doc asked me to leave brochures about FGGAM in his lobby!

The Lord just showed me as I was typing this that many of you are receiving the favor of God but you do not know it! You think it is just luck or how the cards fall in your favor. My friends, it is the favor of God on you! Email me or call me and we can talk about the Favor of God.

If you feel you are “out of favor”, so to speak, with God get a hold of me please.

I will close with this…………

God’s sovereignty is a precious reality.
Now chances are this truth didn’t seem too precious when it first confronted you. The natural, fallen response to hearing we aren’t the ones in control is to white-knuckle our will and refuse to bow. Humans tend to like the idea that we are the captains of our own destinies. Motivational glib like that will pack out self-help seminars. But sooner or later, and hopefully sooner, we learn how bankrupt it all is. We are not in charge, and that’s a good thing.
Any peace and hope we have in our lives right now can be traced back to the fact that God alone is God, that he is the sovereign power behind everything. And this has future-creating wonder. God’s sovereignty, John Piper explains, is not mainly a theological problem with the past, but an invincible hope for tomorrow.
God’s sovereignty means the good he intends for his children will not be deterred. This means we can face anything. All his promises to us will be fulfilled. Pastor John lists nine such promises.
By the blood of his Son, God has promised infallibly…

1. I will meet all your needs according to my riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).
2. My power will be made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
3. I will strengthen you and help you and hold you up with my righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10).
4. I will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
5. I will not let any testing befall you for which I do not give you grace to bear (1 Corinthians 10:13).
6. I will take the sting away from your death with the blood of my son (1 Corinthians 15:55f).
7. I will raise you from the dead imperishable (1 Corinthians 15:52).
8. I will transform your lowly body to be like my glorious body, by the power that enables me even to subject all things to myself (Philippians 3:21).
9. I will do this without fail because I am absolutely sovereign over everything and therefore, I can do all things, and no purpose of mine can be thwarted (Job 42:2).
   AMEN!!!!
