Wig’s Word of God Today 8-28-2011
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 16:25
Jeremiah 20:7-9, Psalm 83, Romans 12:1-2 & Matthew 16:21-27
When you lose your life by taking up Christ’s Cross and following Him, you do not die for His sake yet your old life has fallen away and the new you in Christ has come alive in a surrender that gives hope to mankind. I’ve heard it said it is much easier to lay down your life and die than it is to become One with God in all things in giving up your life for His Truth. Think of that High Calling from God. Are you willing to give up everything for Him to dwell in your heart forever guiding you to an Eternal Home?
His Truth will set you free from desires of flesh and self by the Brightest Light the world has ever known illuminating every step you take making simple chores of life seem rewarding. The Light will illuminate your heart and soul when you empty yourself of all worldly desires and walk in His Light of Truth to accomplish faith, charity and love. To do the Will of the Father takes practice by reading your Bible more than just once a week.
The Will of God demands your attention to detail in giving Him your all in every situation even when the Light seems dim. It is precisely at these times when you must turn up the Flame of Christ by your practice and prayer ready to proclaim His Good News to the ones you love and don’t love. Make no distinction between the ones you know and don’t know or like or dislike. His Truth is meant for anyone at anytime and anywhere in world. For, “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 16:25
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today our life always represents Your Will to proclaim Your Glory. We pray today for peace and healing of Alexandra. We pray for the people encountering the winds and rains of the hurricane near NY as well as my brother Chris who’s there living amongst its arrival. We pray all this in the Name of Christ Jesus. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
A Life Lost to Pray
He had to suffer
It was His fate
The Will of God
No ransom to pay
He explained this
To the Disciples dismay
I must die for you all
To raise on the third day
Peter sad with fear
Yelled with a tear
“God forbid, LORD!”
Never while I’m here
Christ had to explain
Peter a life to know
Thinking as humans
Not as God to show
The world He’s in control
Over death to make it known
God’s Only Son was real
Blood on a Cross to seal
A life for those who choose
My Cross to carry too
Finding along the Way
A Life Lost to Pray
For love of Humanity to stay
