Wig’s Word of God Today 1-22-2011
How much more will the blood of Christ, Who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to worship the Living God Hebrews 9:14
Hebrews 9:2-3, 11-14, Psalm 47:2-3, 6-7, 8-9 & Mark 3:20-21
How many of us still haven’t cleaned our consciousness from dead works to establish a complete surrender to a life of Christ? Ritualistic customs over the years have certainly seen their share of unusual and sometimes barbaric offerings in worshiping God. While the description of goat’s and calves blood doesn’t seem appealing when describing past practices, the soulistic connection gained by giving up everything for living in Jesus brings euphoric feelings from knowing the Blood of Christ cleansed your sins and mankind’s sins for all eternity. Here today, I am reminded by this talk of blood that senseless acts of death has spilled the blood of over 52 million babies in America alone since January 22, 1973. I am guilty of this as well allowing my first wife before we were married to have an abortion. A truth unknown to my children until today. I have cried countless times for that baby years later when I awoke in Christ’s arms to become everything for him. A discussion of surrender I have enjoyed conversation about with friends in Christ seeking to recognize and obtain how to complete this surrender of body, mind and soul of every action, every thought or every breath we take. Can you do it? I am reminded today my surrender is not completely unblemished but rather in need of further fasting, further denial of self and further prayer. Will you join me? Will you pray with me today for the babies spilling their blood without voice except your own.
Sometimes I feel confused by people’s reactions to loving your love of Christ. It seems to the most part people react positively to worshipping our LORD in public say in praying before a meal or praying with someone by holding hands. To Bruce the Homeless Painter I split my sub with at Subway last Thursday, I hope my praying with you in public garnished God’s love in my surrender to His Son’s Truth. There are many things we do as Christians to offer love and charity to people that might say looks like we are out of our mind. Christ’s life here on earth was no different experiencing complete denial and hatred of His Amazing love and Redemption. People spit in His face. They whipped His Body until it bled. They suffocated Him on a Cross but were still offered His Everlasting Forgiveness when He rose again three days later to breathe the Holy Spirit on His Apostles. Our God is so amazing. Everything in place of wonder, despair and fear. We should have the confidence to practice, pray and proclaim our love of Christ anywhere, anytime and anyplace with anyone. No matter what people say or do, your surrender to Christ lifts people less fortunate than you sharing His love with all humanity.
And so we pray: My Lord and My God, surrendered and ready my soul needs repairing from family aches from my love of You. I pray You bind my soul with Your Son’s Truth to proclaim without shame living in union with You for Your Glory. I pray today Your people come to know that every baby we have allowed to be killed will be given forgiveness by Your Son’s Blood on a Cross. LORD please teach us to stop killing babies senselessly. I ask this through Christ our LORD, Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
Out of Who’s Mind
Special little place
The offering of grace
God’s love is in need
Overcome by veins He did bleed
Cleansed by His Blood
Deaths of many
This day we relate
Babies die from negate
The works of the dead
Can be cleansed in you
Seeking His Word to wash
The filth of not truth
Babies are thrown
Away in a fear
Out of who’s mind
Christ’s thoughts appeared
