Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
AMEN! AMEN! PRAISE GOD! For another day to serve HIM! He came to serve not to be served let us be the same. Please Read Mark 10:45 today.
Let us go into prayer……………..
“God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.” E.M. Bounds
WE got this from pastor Leonard late last night………
From Wendy Heimann this is her husband Denny’s niece!
Leonard,
Denny’s niece and her husband, Brenda and Vic, are in the hospital with the flu. We know Vic is in ICU on a vent and we have no update on Brenda. Their 2 young daughters are being cared for by their neighbor until Brenda’s mother can get from Indiana to Denver. Please pray for their healing.
thank you for praying!
We are praying!
Let us pray for the family of Christian radio broadcaster Frank Pastore who passed away yesterday. Frank was injured in a motorcycle wreck last month. What a gift he had for radio! He used it for our Lord! Frank also pitched in the Major leagues with the Minnesota Twins and Reds.
Here was the posting on the web site of radio station KKLA last night……….

Awesome pictures. Holy Spirit at work in NM.
Last night Rene’ prayed for us before going to bed for dreams, visions and revelation.
I awoke early while she still slept and prayed. Had a clear vision of a hand holding a brand new
unread Bible. As I watched the bible “aged” before me. It became tattered, worn and well-loved.
The Holy Spirit is telling us we need to return to his Word.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Blessings
Paul
Thank you Paul, got a lot of comments on the pictures of the service Sunday. PRAISE GOD! I get asked a lot for pictures and audio of my sermons, that as I have said is the last thing on my mind when the Holy Spirit is moving and takes over. Thanks to Sister Mable Lopez’s daughter for taking pictures this past Sunday. A HUGE PRAISE note here, this is the way God is using me and Sharon…..reaching one person at a time. The pictures that you saw yesterday here at the CUP are happening everywhere we go! Let us PRAISE GOD for that! Let is BOAST in the LORD! We have done are best to give people an idea what are work is for the Lord. It is for His Glory Alone! We thank the Pastors who turn their pulpit over to us……that is such a Godly honor! Pastor’s trusting me and Sharon in the Lord, what a GODLY honor!!! AMEN! That is something we do not take lightly! Every week this month we have been to a different church. Now the next two weeks we will be Preaching at the First Baptist Church in Quemado, NM. For Jan. we will be at Rock Rio in Rio Rancho (It tickles me and Sharon to be invited back again and again, it is not when you are invited back you worry!!!! LOL LOL) Jan. 6th. I will be at Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood leading the Men’s Bible Study on Jan 10th and then on Jan. 20th we are in Los Lunas at the Open Door Church of God. What is fun to see now as we are into our 4th month here at FGGAM, is that people are starting to show up where we preach that do not belong to a church and have heard about our Preaching date from the CUP, TV, etc.One by one! AMEN!
We are not a fancy dancy ministry, a very small ministry, just me and Sharon following the Lord in the work He has assigned us to do for Him.
My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24
If you would like to book us to Preach at your Church just email me.
Yesterday I was talking to a lovely lady in Northern New Mexico who wanted to make a donation to FGGAM. PRAISE GOD! I very humbly ask that you first pray for us and then consider a love offering here at the end of the year to FGGAM. We pray that you see and hear the work we are doing, We nee your support. It is tax-deductible. God Bless you all and Merry Christmas!
So agree – Looking for the answers in all the wrong places.
On a brighter note, loved seeing the pictures of you and with Sharon! – Shelly

When Jesus came by way of the Incarnation, mankind would come to know God by feel. Mary fed God; rocked God to sleep, and bathed Him. At a later time, other children played with Jesus the kinds of games they would have played then. Did they play “tag”? Did they play “Hide and Seek”? As an adult, Jesus touched many people that He healed; He touched a Leper; would we? How many times must Jesus have placed His hand on the shoulder of a disciple as they walked, talked, and laughed? I know one thing for certain; He touched me, and made me whole. I have never been the same since. Praise His name, and He has touched others through me. 🙂
From Adrian Rogers……….
The devil wants you to live your life from an empty cup. He wants you to think that God’s cup of grace has dried up for you. He wants you to be disenchanted with God. Most especially, he wants you to feel that God is a cosmic killjoy…that God is always thinking of ways to rob you of joy and peace. Satan knows that if you start to feel negatively about God, then he can have his way with you in other areas.
Take courage. Be strong. Jesus has won the victory for you! Send those lies back to the pit where they came from and claim the promises of God.
I Preached on this Sunday at Christ Full Deliverance Ministries……….
In the words of The Late Henri Nouwen.The secular world around us is saying in a loud voice, “We can take care of ourselves. We do not need God, the church, or a Pastor. We are in control. And if we are not, then we have to work harder to get in control.The problem is not lack of faith, but lack of competence If you are sick, you need a competent doctor; if you have technical problems you need competent engineers; if there are wars, you need competent negotiators. God, the church, and the Pastor have been used for centuries to fill the gaps of incompetence, but today the gaps are being filled in other ways, and no longer in America do we seek the spiritual answers to practical questions.
The life of sex, drugs, and violence among the teenage sons and daughters of the super-rich entertainers in Los Angeles is an example of this. The cry that arises from behind all of this decadence is clearly: “Is there anybody who really cares? Is there anybody who wants to stay home for me? Is there anybody who wants to be with me when I am not in control, when I feel like crying or hurting myself, or someone else? Is there anybody who can hold me and give me a sense of belonging? Is there anyone to love me?”
It is here that the need for a new Christian leadership becomes clear. The leaders of the future will be those who dare to claim their irrelevance in this world we live in as a divine vocation that allows them to enter into a deep solidarity with the anguish underlying all the glitter of success, and to bring the light of Jesus there.

RACHEL IS WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN
A Simile
“A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children;
and she refused to be comforted, because they were no more” (Matthew 2:18)
In response to the terrible tradgedy at Newtown, CT, the media and national talking heads are parading out their psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors and even politicians in their attempt to explain to the rest of us the motive behind the horrible event and why it happened. Few, however, will mention the source of that evil act or acknowledge the remedy.
The late Charles Colson explained it well when he reminded us that “all crime is a matter of the heart and until the heart changes, there will always be crime. There is only one that is able to change the human heart and that is the Lord Jesus Christ through a personal relationship with him” (2 Corinthians 5:14-20).
Let that be our reminder as we weep and pray for God’s comfort for those who lost their children and loved ones
(2 Corinthians 1:3-5).

Have a Mary Christmas!
(and yes… it’s spelled correctly)
My question to myself this morning was… “What does Christmas provide for me?” Not what Christ provided for me, because I am in awe aware and eternally grateful for that! But specifically what does this season provide for me. What is its purpose? This is my 50th year of celebrating it, but only my 16th year in my new birth. And it was not until a ***Facebook friend that I’ve come to admire blogged about “Reading the Christmas story as if it were your very first time,” that I began to treasure that thought. By treasure I mean I really see it as a great value; to stop going through the motions of Christmas, many of which have been there pre-salvation and begin anew to look at this story.
In my Teen Sunday School class we’ve been studying the characters of Christmas… two thus far: Mary and Joseph. And there in the pages I found countless truths that stirred my heart this season.
The awe that all things truly are possible with God
Luke 1:34-37~ Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible.
No matter the age (Mary was young, Elisabeth old) God is in the miracle business. To bring to pass something that others think impossible. When Mary asked the angel, “How shall this be?” she wasn’t asking in disbelief, she was asking in awe. “Really, God’s gonna do what!” And the angel answered her in detail as well as told her of the blessings on her cousin Elisabeth. Mary didn’t doubt that either, she ran to see her! But Elisabeth’s husband Zechariah doubted when the angel visited him and told him of his fatherhood to be. His response was (1:18) “Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.” He wanted more proof. So the angel shut his jib for nine months, but the miracle still happened!
I want this “Mary Christmas!” The one that when God speaks to my heart and says… “I’m going to make “this” happen,” and my response will be, “Tell me how!!!!” No doubts or fears, just the faith that if He spoke it He will bring it to pass. What about you? Has God been speaking to your heart about something that you see no possible way for it to transpire? Well I hope you have a Mary Christmas too!!!! Just believe…
