I pray the Legislature keeps questioning all of the Governor’s plans and proposed spending! We need to follow the money on all these movements, especially POT! See my post also on the Governor’s push to legalize pot. Also keep an eye on Pro-Life issues, so much outside money is coming in to the state to promote abortion. As I have stressed, do your research and follow the money. Team Jesus, please be in prayer over the New Mexico Legislative session.
New Mexico lawmakers have many questions about one of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s top priorities tuition-free college as they prepare to open the 2020 session ABQ Journal Report
I got this notice from one of my mentors and heroes of faith, New Mexico Watchman Jose and Miki Vasquez! Jose and Miki have been such strong servants to God in New Mexico and at the Legislature for many years! This prayer call starts today!! Jose and Miki have been our Dear Friends for years, we love them so very much!

This awesome message is from one of our heroes of faith, Ethel Maharg, Executive Director of the Right to Life Committee of New Mexico.
In just a few days it will be the anniversary of the 1973 court decision Roe vs Wade. Since then over 61 million children have lost their lives to abortion. So many lives have been lost that it is now the leading cause of death in our country.
We are known as the late term abortion capital of the world because we allow abortion for any reason to take place right here up to the day of delivery. This has to end. We have to give life a chance.
Last year during the state legislature we gathered as a people and made our voices heard and let our representatives, senators and governor know that bill HB 51 that continued to allow this senseless killing of children was not in keeping with who we are as a people. We would not take no for an answer and the bill was defeated. This unfortunately did not change the fact that we are the late term abortion capital of the world, but it did keep it from progressing any further. Our hope is to end abortion in our state.
Recently during a football game between Ohio State and Michigan the announcer told the story of JK Dobbins. His mother became pregnant at 18 and was considering abortion but chose life instead. The announcer said, “Dobbins is one of the best players in the nation at any position this year.”
Steve Jobs the co-founder of Apple was adopted. We all know what he went on to accomplish with Apple, in fact you may own one of the products like an I-phone. His mother gave his life a chance.
Well known evangelist James Robison was conceived in rape, yet his mother chose life. His mother gave his life a chance.
Tim Tebow’s mother was told to abort him. She said no and the rest is history. She gave his life a chance.
Last year during one of the rallies a young lady gave her testimony and she said that 15 years after she had chosen to have an abortion she was in her kitchen washing dishes while her children were playing, and she heard God ask her; “what would he have been.” You see God knew her baby was a boy and He had plans for him like he has for all of us.
We hear many success stories of people who are alive today, but we will never hear those stories of children who are aborted. We need to give life a chance.
If you had an abortion, there is healing. Let God restore you and give your life a chance.
This Wednesday the 22nd we will be marching in Santa Fe for the annual pro-life march. Please make plans to join us as we stand together for life and say New Mexico give life a chance.
Ethel Maharg Executive Director
My Post from Yesterday:
From one of my main mentors and heroes of faith, Former Congressman and now Pastor Bill Redmond, pictured above,
from Los Alamos, NM:
Pray for the pastors in New Mexico who yesterday did not even mention the babies who have been slaughtered. May the Lord forgive them for their silence.
As Dietrich Bond Hoffer said, “Silence in the face of evil is evil itself: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act as to act.”
It is poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish. Mother Teresa
I am weeping inside writing you this post……
Team Jesus, we must pray against the death of God’s babies. Saturday when I spoke at ther Albuquerque Right to Life Memorial Service for the 5,000 plus babies in New Mexico in 2019…..I got so sick to my stomach……get this please…..think about this …….please……I felt I was doing a funeral for 5,000 babies…….over 5,000 babies…..let that sink into your heart, mind and soul….What are you going to do about this? ……that is what the Lord showed me….I have always been against abortion and always will be. This evil is ‘Hitler Like’. My spirit is so very disturbed.
I have said for years….follow the money…….do your own research…….so many are making so much money off of abortion……I say again, dive in, and do your own research on this evil industry.
Team Jesus we need to pray against all this outside money coming into New Mexico supporting abortion. Any broadcaster or newspaper that accepts this type of advertising is supporting the death of babies. When I was in radio we would not accept this type of evil.
I posted
this on Sunday before I went to FBC in Reserve, NM to preach………
Albuquerque Right to Life held a Memorial Service at Mt Calvary Cemetery yesterday, in memory of the 5,000 plus unborn children lost to abortion in New Mexico in 2019. When you are in Church today remember those precious babies that never got a chance to live like you and me. How are you going to remember these babies that never got a chance to live? What are you going to do about it? What is your Church doing to help?
I was blessed to lead in prayer and say a few words. As I prayed I would think of my own children and grandchildren. This was so very heavy on my heart, it was like a funeral service for 5,000 little babies, that is still very, very heavy on my heart this morning at 4am.
Over 5,000 babies lost their lives in New Mexico in 2019………shame on us.
We heard from many speakers! The Chapel was full of unity for God and His babies! I have not seen this much unity in the pro-life movement in New Mexico ever! PTL!
I do not think we mourn and weep enough
over all these deaths.
We must stop abortion in New Mexico and in America, the whole world!
The Church must come alive in America with the love of Jesus and sharing that love! Enough of the hate and name calling. Hate just results in more hate. People come to Jesus because of unconditional love and eternal life. Only a fool spews hate. Only a fool uses foul language. All these folks in America that are running for office, if all they can do is bad mouth their opponents, they are fools. Where is the meat and potatoes? Jesus is not in all that foolishness.
Don’t waste your breath on fools, for they will despise the wisest advice. Proverbs 23:9
Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:2
If this hate and division continues in America, it will destroy us. Mark my word!
Hell is full of broken promises and lies. In all my years in media, I have a library full of broken promises from politicians.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
–John 13:34-35
We have been given More Responsibility Than All of The Leaders of Every Nation on Earth!
America is suffering from a spiritual drought. Mother Teresa said, “It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.”
How does that make you feel?
America, Bless God and His babies, do not kill them.
I pray the Republican Party stands strong against the Governor on making recreational pot legal here in New Mexico! We already have enough evil in the state. Pot head drivers??? killing people? We are at the top or near the top in drunk driving deaths! People ruining their health from smoking pot? How will all this improve the well-being of our children? Follow the money on this! See all the reports below! People are picking money instead of what is best for God’s people. KOB TV Report
Yesterday a young lady was helping me fill out a crime report at the Police substation in the Foothills and I told her she was being so very kind and helpful and I asked her if she was thinking of becoming a police officer, and she said, “My Dad was, but I don’t know if I want to.” I said, Yes, I understand, it is like a war out there. She looked right at me and said “Yes.”
At 5:34 Saturday morning I am getting another report of another act of violence in Albuquerque. According to the ABQ Journal a man broke into a home in NW ABQ and was shot. The man has died.Report Here
These thugs will just barge into your car or home and steal or kill……it is a war.
Making pot legal will increase evil.

NM governor urges business leaders to support cannabis bill
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham began her push to try to win over skeptics on the issue of legalizing recreational marijuana use on Thursday, telling Albuquerque business leaders the policy shift would immediately create 11,000 jobs and generate tax dollars that could be used on public safety programs. With a 30-day legislative session set to start…

We must not legalize recreational pot! I am being told right here in Albuquerque many are getting very sick from smoking so much pot! It is just plain BAD! The politicians see the MONEY created by legalizing pot, not how it damages people! Follow the money! The politicians want the cash for the state coffers, this is what they call diversifying the economy! Here at FGGAM we put life before all this evil like recreational pot, booze, gambling, drugs, ….our number one fight is for life, we are against abortion! WE have been outspoken about pot dating back to my days at KKIM Christian Radio, the same as abortion, booze, casino gambling and drugs and other evils. The Body of Christ has done wonderful work against the killing of God’s babies, but we must also SPEAK OUT against pot!! Will you? Dr. Guy Clark (Who posts here at FGGAM) of Albuquerque has spoken out for years against casino gambling, I thank the Lord for him! Where is the Church on that? I do my best to post information on all these issues, I thank people like Ethel Maharg, Elisa Martinez, Betty Eichenseer and Vince Torres my heroes on the fight against abortion for all their help! Drunk Driving deaths is another severe problem here in New Mexico. Where is the Church on the drinking of booze? All these issues that I am sharing about affect the future of our children! What are you doing about it? We here at FGGAM are dedicated to serve our Lord, to stand in the gap for Him on these issues until He calls us home.
What Does it Mean to Stand in the Gap for God?
We need to clean up our act, as my Daddy
used to say!
What kind of world do you want to hand down to your children? Your grandbabies?
From Dr. Jim Denison at FGGAM: Solomon noted: “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety” (Proverbs 11:14). Servants who lead as they are led by Christ are the great need of our day.
If you have influence with even one person, you are a leader. Jesus’ word to his first disciples is his word to us: “Whoever would be great among you must be your servant” (Matthew 20:26).
Whom will you serve today in his name? What courageous stand will you take for the Lord you serve?
When Jack Wilson (Hero of the Texas Church Shootings) received the Medal of Courage on Monday, he responded: “When events arise, you’re going to do one of two things. You’re either going to step up and do what’s right or walk away, and I’m not one to walk away.”
Which “one of two things” will you do today?
Marijuana may accelerate the growth of this common cancer — study
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, doesn’t just get you high. It accelerates the growth of one common cancer, new research in animals and humans, suggests.

From July 23rd of 2019 from Chuck Akeley of Albuquerque:
“Legalization” Of Marijuana In New Mexico – Is This Really A Good Idea?
In our country and yes, our state, it has become almost fashionable to support the growth and use of marijuana, whether for medicinal use or recreational use. So much so, that even our state executive and many legislators consider government sanctioned and controlled distribution of marijuana to be a worthy effort as means to acquire tax dollars. Let’s consider some of the well-established issues facing New Mexico. For many years, we’ve been rated at the bottom or almost the bottom for quality of education, children living in poverty, drug use (e.g., opioid use), drug trafficking (I-40, I-10, I-25 and the southern border corridors) and DWI offenders (including the associated deaths). Is there really wisdom in enhancing these issues by creating a culture of “legalized” use of marijuana here in New Mexico?
A wise man once told me that if you have any doubt as to whether to do or say something, then ask yourself, would you look to Jesus and say “Lord, I do this thing as unto You” or “Lord, I give You thanks for this which I am about to do.” If the answer is no, then why are you doing it? Would you ask Jesus to bless your firing up of a joint or bowl or eating of a laced edible so that you would experience a high? The scripture says we should seek His wisdom. According to Proverbs 4:7, “[w]isdom is the principal thing; [t]herefore get wisdom [NKJV].” Ephesians 5:15-21 instructs us to walk in wisdom: “[s]ee then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ [NKJV].” Just because we CAN do something doesn’t necessarily mean we SHOULD do something.
My background includes a few years as a Special Agent with the USAF Office of Special Investigations, during which much of the training involved drug enforcement. I spent the first year after completing the initial academy leading the Travis AFB, CA Joint Drug Enforcement Team and subsequently worked for several years at Holloman AFB, NM participating in drug enforcement operations with the other agents. Once you have strapped on the equipment and executed a few warrants, you tend to develop a very different perspective about “low level drug use,” as the small amounts of drugs came from someone who was probably not your next door neighbor, and that person’s drugs came from a trafficker – a very dangerous person. The perspective that I’m not hurting anyone is a big lie. It is not surprising to me that the military and local or state police have had to lower standards in order to acquire acceptable cadets. Today, our children and youth often do things as a result of cultural or peer influences which can devastate future employment opportunities. How much worse it is when our children’s parents are the ones modeling this behavior? I thank God that our Lord is forgiving and merciful, and am reminded that we are called to forgive others and to help guide our friends, family and others unto salvation and into their God-given destiny!
It’s interesting to hear discussions about “legalizing” recreational use of marijuana at the state level. If a state allows something that is forbidden at the federal level, it is not really legal, but what is happening is that the federal government has elected, as a matter of enforcement discretion, to refrain from seeking prosecution under certain circumstances and the state has elected to ignore existing federal code or statutes. The federal Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”), 21 USC 812, establishes five schedules of controlled substances, identified as Schedules I, II, III, IV and V. Schedule I lists substances that have been determined to have: 1) a high potential for abuse; 2) no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States; and 3) a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or substance under medical supervision. The psychoactive substance in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”), remains to this day a listed Schedule I substance. Because of this, many states have struggled with the medicinal and recreational use of marijuana and declare legality, when in point of fact, what is occurring is simply enforcement discretion at the federal level and a glaring lack of willingness of the federal government to take a solid position one way or the other.
There is MUCH remaining to be said about this issue, including the increasing levels of THC in modern-grown marijuana plants provided by dispensaries and technologically-advanced illicit grows, the lack of clear means for law enforcement to easily determine the degree of driving impairment compared to determining alcohol impairment, the effect that such has or may have on us developmentally, mentally and physically, the wisdom and procedure for assuring sound regulatory controls at the federal and state level – and assuming this issue isn’t going away quickly, the spiritual implications of encouraging, yet another mind altering substance for use by our residents, demonstrating yet again, the wisdom of man in the face of the wisdom of God.
Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask that You would speak to the hearts of those in a position to encourage, allow, regulate and/or spend tax dollars on marijuana matters in our beautiful State of New Mexico (and across this nation). Give us ears to hear and eyes to see what is the will of God. May wisdom guide our discussions and determinations, with a mighty hedge of protection over all who are doing Your will and serving Your people, in light of this challenge. But regardless, help us to always love. Always. Amen.

Albuquerque, New Mexico
From Jan. 10th, 2019
From Dr. Guy Clark:
About a week ago Thom Cole wrote a good article in the Santa Fe New Mexican about the failure of the state to take gambling addiction seriously. I thought it would be useful to reveal more details about the state’s failure, so I wrote this op-ed for the Albuquerque Journal that appeared today. It’s not just that the state fails to do a good job of attacking this enormous health problem (state studies since 1997 have indicated that there are between 35,000 to 45,000 problem gamblers in the state), the health department does not even recognize the problem. I hope you will read this article and encourage your state legislators to hold legislative hearings next month to remedy this problem.
To contact your legislator open the “Find Your Legislator by Address” page by clicking here. On the “Political Body” field you can scroll down to pick the house or the senate, then add your address in the following field. That will bring up a field with your legislator’s picture and name. You can then click on his/her name and it will take you to their legislative page where you can find their contact information.
The most effective contacts are by phone, so you could call your legislator at their home, since they won’t be at their Santa Fe office until mid-January. An email would also probably get to them. You could say something like, “I read the article about problem gambling in the Albuquerque Journal (or the SF New Mexican), and think that it is disgraceful that the state does nothing to help problem gamblers. Would you please do what you can to get legislation moving to get the health department to create an office that deals with gambling addiction?”
Stop Predatory Gambling New Mexico will be at the legislature and will use what influence we have to get legislation moving to get the state engaged in helping our citizens.
Thank you for your help,
Dr. Guy C. Clark, chairman
Stop Predatory Gambling New Mexico
