Wig’s Word of God Today 9-16-2011
For the love of money is the root of all evils, and some people in their desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains. 1 Timothy 6:12
1 Timothy 6:2c-12, Psalm 49 & Luke 8:1-3
It amazes me that we as humanity know what is the root of all evil yet we find people who still succumb to the temptation of selfish acts of greed for lust of flesh, excess and wealth. I know in my heart that when I began giving to the poor, seeking the homeless and tithing to the LORD, my entire desires for money fell into the same surrender pit I had fallen into not seeking a way out but asking people to jump in along with me for the Glory of God the Father.
Yesterday as we entered the prison of the unknown fellowship we were about to experience, you could sense the forced humility amongst the prisoners when we began small introductions of each us following a small script. Many would agree that the love of money and self had placed them within the walls of separation but as importantly, they recognize the need to follow the search for God’s forgiveness and guidance in troubled times of mistake driven choices.
The many pains of wrong choices were written all over their faces and I know it was hard humble pill to swallow for many of them. By the Grace of God we can channel the love of excess in flesh, greed and sin to accomplishing good in the world by our practiced Bible reading daily, our endless prayers of guidance and our proclamation of Christ’s truth as He instructed over 2000 years ago. Kill the root of evil with the kindness and goodness of God. Amen.
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today for our love of You to kill the root of all evil in our life. We pray we focus on Your Word to keep us from straying from the faith You instill in our hearts. We pray for the Team and Candidates of Kairos Prison Ministry weekend and the unknown the Spirit of the LORD will guide us to today. We pray for our spouses who support our love of Your Son’s Truth. We pray for my daughter Alexandra’s peace and healing. We pray this in the Name above all names, Christ Jesus. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
A Man of God to Adore
Urge true teachings
To people who teach lies
The words of Christ Jesus
Remove humanity’s cries
Conceited distortion
Nothing gained
From greed in religion
God shows His pain
Wrong doctrine
Come verbal disputes
Creating envy and rivalry
Corrupted minds deprived of the Truth
Nothing comes with us in birth
Except pure innocent joy
Nothing will go out at death
Except flesh sin destroyed
The rich can’t take their wealth
The root of all evils ignored
The Truth of God’s Word creates
A Man of God to adore
