Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Thank you for stopping by for a CUP!
One of the many blessings of the Lord moving me into FGGAM is my marriage to Sharon is even stronger! This new road has brought us closer together, our love is stronger. It was very strong before FGGAM, but now more than ever. The Lord is using the talents of Sharon in many ways. She is now being offered to go out and speak nationally. We pray for the Lord’s Will to be done. The main thing for us is to do the Lord’s Will. This new work the Lord has us doing has helped me counsel people, it has become part of my testimony. We both are walking this earth for our Jesus! We bear much more fruit when we are aligned with God, His Word, wife or husband and family. You cannot have that out of order and be fully aligned with God. For some of my days I believe I had my life out of alignment……I had God, then my radio station work…..at times ahead of Sharon and the kid’s. I love my wife and kid’s and doggies dearly! Sharon is blooming like a red rose! The kid’s are all doing awesome! I think we sometimes “think” we have our life in order, when we really don’t.
What is so exciting to me in my walk with Jesus Christ is to learn the ways of our Lord everyday! To absorb His greatness! To be more Christ like! I pray you are taking time each morning to be with our Lord and His Word! You need at least an hour a day, just to be with Him! It is your most important relationship! During this time when you tune into God’s frequency He will talk to you! You will hear from God on how to go about your days! AMEN!
”It is important to face everything with courage, otherwise circumstances will intimidate us into giving up and not pressing through. Confident people go out to meet life rather than waiting for it to come to them

William Randolph Hearst, the great publisher, read about a painting and became greatly interested in it. Desperately desiring to own this painting, he sent his people all over to try to locate this painting but they couldn’t find it anywhere.
A year later, out of the blue, one of his employees came to him and told him that the painting had at last been found. Hearst, excited about the discovery, asked where it had been all this time. His employee said, “It was in your basement. You’ve owned it all the time.”
Mr. Hearst had never read the ledger that had a record of everything he owned. He did not understand the wealth that he already possessed. Many believers operate their lives never fully understanding all of the blessing that is available to them in Christ. Never forget that as a follower of Jesus Christ, you have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies. Live in the light of that truth.
I am so proud of my wife Sharon after her presentation yesterday on compassion and teamwork she was approached my a national company to speak to their employees around the country if you are interested your church or business just message me her husband does some speaking to lol lol

THE WAY OF THE LORD
· “1st Principle: Principle of Spirit—life in the Spirit” is OBEDIENCE.
· Our “spiritual development” is directly related to following and obeying God. If we love God we will sincerely desire and embrace His instructions—the words of Life/Truth.
· The most “intelligent” life we can have is an “Obedient Life In The Spirit”! Here, God is growing (increasing) our Spirit-man, in a Believer, through the ministry work of the Holy Spirit while at the same time decreasing our old nature (self-will/rule). He is exchanging and imparting the nature of Christ (new creation, born again, Spirit-man) for the fallen sinful nature of man. And in this He is restoring His government/rule/will/authority in the heart of man through the Blood-covenant, Melchizedek our High Priest. We have been purchased by the precious Blood of Jesus! The exchange of His government for our government is so that His will (authority) can be established on earth as it is in heaven through the Seed of Christ in us, the hope of glory.
· Hearing the initiatives of the Holy Spirit directs our life in the right way. We both learn and grow under the governmental counsels of His wise instructions/Word/Will throughout our life as we stay committed to CHRIST as both Savior and Lord.
· Life in the Spirit has everything to do with the Seed of Christ, not the seed of man. We cannot “reason” with the natural mind and expect to understand God’s ways. His ways are clearly higher than our ways. Therefore, our spiritual senses have to be “trained” (disciplined) to “obey” the Lord. We must recognize that natural reasoning of the mind is something we inherited from “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” which is an affront (insult) to God. That is to say that our natural minds are an enemy of God. As we choose to follow and obey the Lord through the life-walk of the Spirit, the root supply to the tree of knowledge of good and evil (human thought reasoning) is severed from having power in us. We are therefore exchanging our (natural) minds for the (supernatural) Mind of Christ. There is “full deliverance” when we no longer think independently of Christ. Here our souls become an unbroken habitation in Him and we are wholly obedient to Christ. (see 2 Cor. 10:4-6)
· All rebellion (acts of disobedience in thought, word and/or action) has to do with areas in our soul that has not yet been transformed-transfigured in Light. Disobedience is the mark of darkness ruling that keeps us from Truth—the Virtue of Life.
· Humbling ourselves is the first step to moving toward obedience. In all sense of the word, humility acknowledges God IS God! He is all power and all authority. Humility makes a way for our hearts to be enlarged so that we may “know” God’s ways. The bigger we are the smaller God is. The Bigger God is the smaller we are. (Principle of humility)
· Obedience makes “room” for God. Every act of obedience gives place for God to reign in us. This being His ultimate goal—to reign in the hearts of the sons of the Son of God (sons of obedience!). We have been “born from above” for the purpose of doing the Will of the Father! “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done!” Our destiny is to bring the Father’s “will” to earth and Jesus showed us this way. Life in the Spirit is all about Christ/obedience. Clearly we can see the direct relationship that the less we walk in the way of the Spirit the less we complete our destiny (book) from Heavens perspective. There is only one destiny…GOD! He is the plan, He is the purpose, He is the way, He is the Truth, He is the Light, He is the Life…He is to become the house of Revelation in our souls from which our Bread is to do the will of the Father.

OBEDIENCE THE WAY OF OUR LORD
Although as regards the Godhead, the Son and the Father are co-equal; the Lord Jesus Christ was made “Lord” only after He emptied Himself. His deity derives from who He is, for His being God is His inherent nature. His being Lord, though, issues out of what He has done. He was exalted and rewarded by God to be Lord only after He forsook His glory and maintained the perfect role of OBEDIENCE unto the Father. As regards Himself, Jesus is God; as regards reward, Jesus is Lord. Note that His Lordship did not exist originally in the Godhead.
Phil 2:5-11, 12-15 (AMP)
Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]
Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained,
But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.
And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further]and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!
Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name,
That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
………work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ).
[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.
Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining [against God] and questioning and doubting [among yourselves],
That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish (faultless, unrebukable) in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation [spiritually perverted and perverse], among whom you are seen as bright lights (stars or beacons shining out clearly) in the [dark] world,
“It seems as though at the beginning a council was held within the Godhead. God conceived a plan to create the universe. In that plan the Godhead agreed to have authority represented by the Father. But authority cannot be established in the universe without OBEDIENCE, since it cannot exist alone. God must therefore find obedience in the universe. Two living beings were to be created: angels (spirits) and men (living souls). According to His foreknowledge God foresaw the “rebellion” of the angels and the fall of men; hence He was unable to establish His authority in angels or in the Adamic race. Consequently, within the Godhead perfect accord was reached that authority would be answered by OBEDIENCE IN THE SON. From this come the distinctive operations of God the Father and God the Son. One day God the Son emptied Himself, and being born in the likeness of men He became the symbol of OBEDIENCE. Inasmuch as rebellion came from created beings, so obedience must now be established in a created being. Man sinned and rebelled; therefore the authority of God must be erected on man’s obedience. This explains why the Lord came to the world and was made as one of the created men.
The birth of our Lord is actually God coming forth. Instead of remaining as God with authority He came to man’s side, accepting all the limitations of man and taking the form of a SLAVE. He braved the possible peril of not being able to return with glory. Should He have become disobedient on earth as a man, He would have still been able to reclaim His place in the Godhead by asserting His original authority; but if so, He would have forever broken down the PRINCIPLE OF OBEDIENCE.
There were two ways for the Lord to return: one way was to obey absolutely and unreservedly as man, establishing the authority of God in all things on all occasions without the slightest hint of rebellion; thus, step by step through obedience to God, He would be made Lord over all. The other way would be to force His way back by reclaiming and using the authority and power and glory of His deity because of having found obedience impossible through the weakness and limitation of human flesh.
Now the Lord discarded this second path and walked humbly in the way of obedience—even unto death. Once having emptied Himself, He refused to fill Himself again. He never took such an ambiguous course. Had the Lord failed in the way of obedience after having relinquished His divine glory and authority and taken the form of a slave, He would have never again returned with glory. Only by the way of obedience as man did He go back. Thus it was that He returned on the basis of perfect and singular obedience. Though suffering was added upon suffering, He displayed absolute obedience, without ever the slightest tinge of resistance or rebellion.
Consequently, God highly exalted Him and made Him Lord when He returned to glory. It was not He who filled Himself up with that which He had once emptied Himself of; rather, it was God the Father. IT WAS THE FATHER WHO WAS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT THIS MAN BACK INTO GLORY. And so God the Son is now also become Jesus the Man in His return to glory. For this reason, the name Jesus is most precious; there is no one in the universe like Him. When on the cross he shouted “It is finished!”, it proclaimed not only the accomplishment of salvation but also the fulfillment of all that His name signifies. Therefore, He has obtained a name which is above every name, and at His name every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord. Henceforward, He is Lord as well as God. His being Lord speaks of His relationship with God, how He has been rewarded by God. His being Christ reveals His relationship with the church.
To summarize then, when the Son left the glory He did not intend to return on the basis of His divine attributes; on the contrary, He desired to be exalted as a man. In this manner, God has affirmed His PRINCIPLE OF OBEDIENCE. How necessary it is that we be wholly obedient without even the faintest trace of “rebellion”. The Son returned to heaven as a man; He was exalted by God after he was obedient in the likeness of men. Let us face this great mystery of the Bible. In bidding farewell to the glory and clothing Himself with human flesh, the Lord determined not to return by virtue of His divine attributes. And because He never gave the slightest appearance of disobedience, He was exalted by God on the ground of His humanity. The Lord set aside His glory when He came; but when He returned, He not only regained that glory but received even further glory.
Let us too have this mind which was in Christ Jesus. Let us all walk in the way of the Lord and “attain to obedience” by making the principle of obedience our own principle. Let us be subject to one another. Once having seen this principle we will have no trouble discerning that no sin is more serious than rebellion and nothing is more important than obedience. ONLY IN THE PRINCIPLE OF OBEDIENCE CAN WE SERVE GOD; ONLY IN OBEYING AS CHRIST DID CAN WE REAFFIRM GOD’S PRINCIPLE OF AUTHORITY, FOR REBELLION IS THE OUTWORKING OF THE PRINCIPLE OF SATAN.
It is told in Hebrews 5:8 that Christ “learned obedience through what He suffered.” Suffering called forth obedience from the Lord. Please note here that He did not bring obedience to this earth; He learned it—and He did so through suffering.
When we meet suffering we then learn obedience. Such obedience is real. Our usefulness is not determined by whether or not we have suffered, but by how much obedience we have learned through a particular trial, in having our hearts softened (pliable) so that we become useful to God.
Salvation makes people obedient as well as joyous. If we seek only joy, our spiritual possessions will not be rich; but those who are obedient will experience the abundance of salvation. Let us not change the nature of salvation. Let us obey—for our Lord Jesus, having been made perfect through obedience, has become the source of our eternal salvation. GOD SAVES US THAT WE MAY OBEY HIS WILL! The Lord has given this life of obedience to us.”~Watchman Nee, “Spiritual Authority”
