Wig’s Word of God Today 6-1-2011
Rather it is He Who gives to everyone life and breath and everything. Acts 17:25b
He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you. John 16:14
Acts 17:15, 22—18:1, Psalm 148 & John 16:12-15
Sometimes I think it’s hard to believe let alone conceive in our minds how the Disciples of Christ seemingly took His Gospel and spread it over all the world and here 2000 years later we are living His Truth by this very beginning. In Acts 17 today, Paul is in Athens walking about and encountering one idol after another and he’s determined to tell the Hellenist their philosophy is wrong and the religion of Christ Jesus must be followed to receive Eternal Life.
Once Paul delivers his message in the highest judicial and legislative council of ancient Athens called Areopagus, many scoff at the idea of someone being raised from the dead yet Paul still converts a person or two. Today we encounter the same thing time-and-time again by the disbelief of people we encounter when we share Christ’s Truth with them because they are caught in a selfish net of Satan’s sinful ways wanting nothing more than to have the most stuff, the most lustful pleasures and the most money.
Yet God states we still are charged to make sure they have every opportunity to believe even as Martha in John was told by Jesus Himself. “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in Me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 We must as believers seek to share to His Redemption even if the fright of being turned down may occur as it does so many times when anyone preaches the Love of God.
Jesus began John Chapter 16 with, “I have told you this so that you may not fall away,” as He describes how the Advocate, the Spirit of Truth, will guide them in Words from their mouths, courage in their hearts and action in their beings to accomplish the sharing of His Resurrection to gain Life Everlasting in Him. The Holy Spirit will share in our hearts and souls our love of loving Jesus by what has already been told not any new prediction of what will come. Christ has fulfilled all Prophesy in His Life, Death and Resurrection. He has made sure they shared His Gospel with us so we will not fall away. Amen.
“But when He comes, the Spirit of truth, He will guide you to all Truth. He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is Mine; for this reason I told you that He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you.” John 16:13-15
So we ask in prayer: Heavenly Father, we continue our prayers today for Augie Silva and we ask for healing and peace. LORD, we pray today to Glorify the Father and to admit mistakes when they happen to learn from friends whom we trust. We pray for all who read my study to be lifted up by Your Truth in Word, Deed and Spirit. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless His Truth,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”
Words, Courage and Action in Truth
The Truth seems hard to bear
In the now and present to Eternally share
His Spirit will guide you if you dare
To follow the Word of God Who always cares
Not on His own does He speak
The Son’s Truth comes for the weak
Heard in the Walk of Resurrection’s peak
The LORD of all will save the meek
All the Father has is His
The Spirit’s Truth He freely gives
Declared and given unto you
Words, Courage and Action in Truth
