Wig’s Word of God Today 5-16-2012
Nor is He in need of anything, that He should be served by human hands; on the contrary, it is He Who gives everything — including life and breath — to everyone. Acts 17:25
He will glorify Me, since all He reveals to you will be taken from what is Mine. John 16:14
Acts 17:15, 22–18:1, Psalm 148 & John 16:12-15
As Paul walked around Athens, he discovers an altar with an inscription reading “to an unknown God.” Paul references this to the people when he discusses with them how they are to know God Who needs nothing from us for He IS everything around them providing for their needs including their own breath. “The God who made the world and all that is in it, the LORD of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands, nor is he served by human hands because He needs anything. Rather it is He Who gives to everyone life and breath and everything.” Acts 17:24-25
I think we seem to forget sometimes that we are not in control of the world around us and it is by His Hand that even the wind blows against your face. Jesus continues to remind us in John 16 that His Father’s Way is the Way of the Wind through the Holy Spirit Who represents everything God and Christ are when it comes to being One in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit will reveal the true nature of Christ by your practice, prayer and preaching. Everyday when you begin your Bible study allow the Spirit of Christ to come inside your heart where by the Spirit He will reveal to you the secrets of living a life in Christ.
There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t call out to the Holy Spirit in prayer to awaken my soul with the Breath of Life. I recite a Holy Spirit prayer that has evolved in the antiphons and hymns of every liturgical tradition, especially the Pentecost sequence. It goes like this, “Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. O, God, who by the Light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolations, through Christ Our LORD, Amen.”
Dear Father in Heaven, we pray to lift our voices to the Holy Spirit in prayer to live in faith, charity and love. We pray for the sick, the lonely and the homeless of the world. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
Trust the Holy Spirit to eliminate your fears- John 16:12-15
As Jesus spoke to His disciples
He applied His grace
There is much more to tell
The Spirit will eternally trace
What you can’t bear now from Me
Will come as the wind in your face
Not knowing falsehoods to see
But guiding the Spirit of Truth to relate
He does not speak on His own
He only speaks what He hears
From the Father as He glorifies Me
Declared to you as righteous tears
Trust the Holy Spirit to eliminate your fears
