Wig’s Word of God Today 1-30-2011

Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of Me. Matthew 5:11

As it is written, “Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:31
 
Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13, Psalm 146:6-7, 8-9, 9-10, 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 & Matthew 5:1-12a
 
There is a great need to shelter yourself from evil by listening to the Prophets of old. Zephaniah was a prophet during the reign of Josiah occurring during 640-609 B.C. describing a warning to those who worshipped false idols that by their observance of the law they will hopefully be sheltered by the life they lead in God. False idols surround us today on every corner driving millions to satisfy their own selfish desires to love not the LORD but the worship of money and success. As an Apostle of Jesus Christ I beg you all to “seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth, who have observed his law; Seek justice, seek humility; perhaps you may be sheltered on the day of the LORD’S anger.” Zephaniah 2:3 Do you seek justice and humility in your life?
 
How many of us really live the calling of the LORD? Paul describes not the proud but the lowly to obtain greatness from God by not boasting in one’s self but rather the One Who gave us life in Christ Jesus. We must all seek humility and boast in Christ as Paul states “It is due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, Who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Whoever boasts, should boast in the LORD.” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 Jesus teaches us in Matthew 5 the principles we should live our life by helping the poor in spirit, comforting those who mourn, giving a hand to the meek, feeding the hungry, applauding the merciful and showing mercy ourselves, living a clean life free of sin, being a peacemaker (the true Children of God), and defending the one who is righteous in the name of the LORD. Christ has promised us; “blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.” Matthew 5:11-12a You live all these principles by loving your love of Christ Jesus! Amen.
 
In prayer we ask: Dear Abba Father, we pray today for the healing of Alba Diaz who ministers to the imprisoned. We pray for those who persecute us because of our love of loving You LORD. May we always boast in You for the Salvation we receive by Your Son’s Truth and Blood. We pray this in the Name above all Names, Jesus Christ. Amen.
 
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
 
The Life Lived in a Clean Heart
 
Humble earth dwellers
The law should be observed
Seek not false idols of self
Seek the Truth in God’s Word
 
A remnant will dwell amongst you
Lies will never cross their tongue
Living in harmony of God the Father
His Will they will live to be done
 
A calling all should consider
One boasting in not one’s self
But living the life of the meek
The Wisdom of God to be felt
 
Blessed are you who seek His Ways
Comforting the hope of all who afford
The life lived in a clean heart
Obtaining true joy in Heaven’s reward

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do! I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650. I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect. I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain, Yours in Christ, Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
