Wig’s Word of God Today 5-10-2011
Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God. Acts 7:56
For the Bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives Life to the world. John 6:33
Acts 7:51—8:1a, Psalm 31 & John 6:30-35
Sitting above me on the shelf of my desk is a small plaque that says; “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God… to them who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 I am reminded of Stephen when I read this daily because of his courage to love God even though he knew people didn’t understand his love for God or his love for His Son Christ Jesus. He boldly proclaimed this love without hesitation and accepted his destiny with courage, passion and forgiveness. He forgave his killers as they were stoning him to death for he knew he would pass into the hands of Christ to live Eternally in Heaven. I have to agree that forgiveness is the most compelling feeling of release and jubilation a person can accept to live in peace and harmony with God. Without forgiveness, we will end up despising life living in a world of spite, jealously and hate. Take the time today to forgive someone in your past as Stephen forgave his killers at his death and live in liberation from detestation.
It was just as hard then as it is now for people to understand what Christ meant when He said, “For the Bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives Life to the world.” John 6:33 It seems so hard but yet it is so easy to accept His Words as Truth to accomplish living in faith, charity and love. His life, crucifixion and death brought about absolute Redemption of sins for the world becoming the Bread of Life for humanity to reach Eternal happiness here on earth and in heaven. It’s how we share His Truth which gives us continued faith to accomplish Good Works of charity each and every day. People will sometimes ask me: “How can you talk to complete strangers about Jesus?” I talk to people as friends and not strangers to share with them Christ’s Truth of Redemption by the Power of the Holy Spirit moving me with the correct posture, with the correct words and the correct actions of His Truth to bring more souls to know His love. I like to think that people are drawn to me because I wear His Truth in my smile, in my walk and in my actions becasue He is EVERYTHING to me. Is Jesus everything to you?
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we continue our prayers of healing for Augie Silva. We pray today people will always see Your Son in our thoughts, our words and our actions. May we live to share His Truth with anyone, anytime and anywhere. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”
Forgiving His Killers Christ’s Way- Acts 7 the death of Stephen
Your necks are stiff
Your ears are closed
Your heart has no Truth
Christ from the Cross foretold
The Spirit of God you fight
Not accepting your call
Your ancestors persecuted
Each death prophets fall
Angels brought you the Truth
All of you despised their gift
Christ was the forgiving King
His Blood your Redemption lift
You threw him out of the city
Stoning him along the way
He accepted death with humility
Forgiving his killers Christ’s Way
