Wig’s Word of God Today 2-15-2011
Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear? Mark 8:18a
Genesis 6:5-8; 7:1-5, 10, Psalm 29:1a and 2, 3ac-4, 3b and 9c-10 & Mark 8:14-21
In Genesis, the LORD began to see mankind as evil and He regretted creating man to accomplish ugliness and sin. “When the LORD saw how great was man’s wickedness on earth, and how no desire that his heart conceived was ever anything but evil, he regretted that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was grieved.” Genesis 6:5-6 The LORD’s heart found favor in His servant Noah and the LORD directed Noah to build an Ark to carry the creatures and beasts of the earth. There comes a time in everyone’s life that we either listen to the LORD and do as He asks us or we take our chances with the world and live a life of selfishness. One day, we too will be drowned in a flood of sin that will take away your heart and soul or we can choose to live in peace as the flood waters rise around you by our surrender to Christ Jesus.
We are called to understand the Words and Deeds of Jesus in the verse “watch out, guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” But still the Disciples did not understand His Words because they could not see this in the multiplication of the loaves for the 4000 or the 5000 people. Since yeast, or leaven, induced fermentation in bread dough, it was a perfect symbol of the insidious effect of those who opposed Jesus. How many of us see His miracles every day but are unwilling to serve because of selfish needs?
I have written about the need for us to carry our own sign these last few days instead of waiting for a sign from God to live for Him. Yesterday I stopped and prayed with a woman who had made just a sign. She was holding an advertising sign for some company when I noticed by her feet a sign that read “Jesus loves you.” I immediately turned in and parked near her. As I got out and approached her I said, “I have asked people to make up their own sign to show their love of Christ instead of waiting for Him to give them a sign. And today here was an affirmation of this. I would like to pray with you.” And I began praying out loud with my eyes closed and as I finished I opened my eyes and she was holding her hands up high repeating “thank You Jesus, thank You Jesus, thank You Jesus.”
So we ask in prayer: Dear God, today I pray for Brother Ed Kassler and his wife, Gerry. Please place Your healing hands on him and make him well. I also pray for my son Allen Thomas Wiggins who turns 25 today. We pray we can always understand Your Word and always be focused on Your love during the floods of emotions, problems and obstacles in our lives. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

Blood of Redemption We Do- TNT Cruz-Wiggins
He is our love together
He is our protector might
He will leap for joy
When we come home at night
He stands tall by our side
He holds us up to fight
He will die for the right
At Crucifixion’s height
His shade of red excites us
Blood of Redemption we do
Valentine’s love for all Eternity
Soul-2-Soul He is our glue
