Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

I took that picture of yesterday’s sunrise near Socorro, New Mexico on my trip to Reserve to preach! PRAISE GOD!

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13: 34-35

So blessed to be with you this morning! We love you all!

WOW! Sandi B sent this in after we sent out the urgent prayer need for Angel Murchison’s daughter who has kidney stones:

Hi! Dewey, my daughter had kidney stones during her pregnancy. We used 1 tablespoon in the morning and 1 tablespoon of pure pomegranate juice. We also used real lemons. We squeeze 1/2 lemon into 1 glass of water, I used stevia to sweeten the lemon water. She drank one cup of this lemon water (hot or cold) every hour. The lemon brakes down the crystal that form the stone and the pomegranate starts moving the out of your system. My daughter had several Stones and with in a  day or two she passing them.

I have to tell you a funny story about KIDNEY STONES! I remember one Sunday afternoon we were at Grandpa and Grandma Caraway’s house……..we did that a lot after Church, loved going to Grandpa and Grandma’s…anyhow Grandpa was recalling his episode with kidney stones and said, “Kidney stones are more painful than giving birth!” Grandma said, “How would you ever know!!!”

The Lord showed me this yesterday on the way back from preaching at the Baptist Church in Reserve:

“There is extreme joy and peace when God confirms with you that you are on His track not yours.” Pastor Dewey Moede

Sharon told me as I left, “Now enjoy your drive and beautiful scenery and what God is going to show and tell you!”

WOW! I have a smart wife………..God spoke to me……..He showed me much, confirming with me that me and Sharon and FGGAM are on HIS TRACK not ours! Amen!

The growth is just so AWESOME! But we always pray that it is pleasing to God.

My day started at 2am on Sunday with the posting of news and inspiration at FGGAM.ORG and final preperations to the sermon God has given me, it ended at 5:30pm when I got home! When I got home Sharon had made me homemade beef stew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Buffy and Reno jumped into my arms, I am a very blessed man. Thank you for your prayers.

Yesterday day in Reserve I preached again on LOVE! God commands us to LOVE each other! Also on healthy fellowship! A healthy Church! WOW!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

We will post the sermon sometime this week, I will let you know.

Please for Zeke and Jade as their 31 year old Mom passed away in her sleep. They go to the Reserve Baptist Church. Please keep these children and the whole family in your prayers.

I have to tell you I had such a joyous time in Reserve, I so much love all the folks their, I have even made friends outside the Church! I thank the Lord that He has had me going to Reserve! YyesterdayI was shown so much love by all the folks! Two young girls me me at the door when I entered and gave me hugs! Thank you Lord for my friends!

Now to the book of John  and my mentor Pastor Leonard Navarre:

Show or tell???

 

In John 13 we find Jesus in the Upper Room with His disciples.  As John 13:1 says, “it was just before the Passover feast.  Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world and go to the Father.  Having loved His own who were in the world, He show them the full extent of His love.”

 

All seem to have a fascination with John’s writings.  For you see, it was only John, among the gospel writers who had an intimate friend in Jesus Christ.  Matthew was not among the inner four; Luke, as far as we know, never met the Lord in person; Mark was a young man at the time of the Crucifixion.  Only John knew Jesus well.  And, his writings reflect it.  His writings are full of personal kinds of remembrances you find when the author knows about someone he loves deeply.  So, it is apt, therefore, that John begins the story of the Last Supper with the words, “He now showed them the full extent of His love”.

 

So, may I ask you?  How did Jesus show the full extent of His love?  We probably would say, “at the cross”.  Well, yes, you would be right.  However, I believe this verse, John 13:1 is simply the beginning of the acts leading to His crucifixion that show us Jesus’ love.

 

It is not just His love but “the full extent” of His love.   It was as if He were saying, “now you will see it all”.  We see it here in the Upper room, in the garden, at the trial, at the questioning, at the beating and finally at the cross.  Is there any greater love than a person giving their life for another?

 

Look again at the first.  Not just “His love”, not just the “full extent of His love” — look at the verb.  He SHOWED them.  He did not just tell them; He introduced to them a startling new doctrine.  That of not only saying, “I love you” but SHOWING how much I love you by my actions.

 

Jesus, the Lord and Master, proceeds to take a basin of water and a bowl and WASH their feet.  No servant, no butler, no attendant at the meal had done so.  Not even any of the disciples.  BUT JESUS DID!  He took on the attitude of a servant.  Saw a need and responded.  Someone once said, “they don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”.

 

Is there someone in your life that needs to be shown the “full extent of your love”?  Maybe it’s your husband?  Your wife? Your children? Your neighbor?  Someone at the office?

 

Remember, WE ARE JESUS’ FULL EXTENT OF LOVE TO THIS WORLD!

 

Are we just telling the world?  Or are we SHOWING the world His love?

Amen Pastor Leonard Navarre!

We are getting an average of 18,000 visits a day someday’s over 20,000 and it is bogging down the site and at times it causes slowness….people do not like a website to be slow! So will you please help us??? I will let you know when we have raised the $300.00. We are also doing an upgrade of the website to make some improvements and a bit of a new look in some ways…..this is something that our CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Isaac Milleson knows better than me, but he knows how to run a site, as this Godly man has helped FGGAM.ORG grow faster than anything he has ever witnessed in his business. So we listen to him and we know God directs him, we know Isaac as a strong man of God! Please do not underestimate what God is doing at FGGAM. We are praying for more people to become aware as to what FGGAM is all about and how God is using FGGAM, not only in New Mexico, but the world.

Angel’s Prayer of The Day By Angel Murchison, the family that prays together stays together!

My Good Morning Revelation, by Karen Rowe Oct 19, 2014 I have to share with you last night on my way home from preaching in Reserve I ran into a rain storm between Datil and Magdalena and it was hard to see, all of a sudden I got a text from Karen saying she was cooking dinner and the Lord put me on her heart and she wanted to know if all was okay and I told her about the rain storm and she started to pray for my safety! How about that! PRAISE GOD!

Thanks for stopping by for a CUP!

For God’s Glory Alone in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, Dewey, Sharon, Family and FGGAM Team

Let us keep praying for each other and our families and neighbors!

And all of God’s people said, AMEN!
