Wig’s Word of God Today 5-18-2011
Then, completing their fasting and prayer, they laid hands on them and sent them off. Acts 13:3
If anyone hears My words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. John 12:47
Acts 12:24—13:5a, Psalm 67 & John 12:44-50
In Acts today we learn how Barnabas and Saul began their journey to Cyprus by fasting and prayer preparing them for God’s work of proclaiming the Gospel. Once they arrived anywhere, they immediately entered the Jewish synagogues and began preaching the Word of God. How often do you really fast? How often do you pray? Fasting should be a weekly occurrence with petitioner prayers in mind choosing to pray for someone or something you need help with in your life. Prayer should be unceasingly over everything you do in your life.
I know, many of you will say, “How can I do that Thomas?” But prayer is a love and necessity of showing your love of God and your thankfulness for your life. I like to think praying is a beautiful habit to form that enlightens your life with faith, courage and action to accomplish the Will of God. Once you make it a habit to pray when you get up, pray when you eat any meal, pray when get dressed, pray when you get in your car to drive anywhere, pray when you work or play, and pray before you go to bed at night will sustain an everlasting presence of God in your mind, heart and soul. Just pray! Amen.
We’ve all heard Jesus say, “I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world,” but how many of you truly listened to the beginning of His Proclamation of this verse where He says “If anyone hears My words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him.?” Here Jesus reminds us again we are not to judge the world for the Father will judge everyone according to their deeds in His time not ours. Be a Christian of Action not silence to share His Truth with anyone, anyplace and anytime. Be prepared by your practice (Bible study) to bring souls to His Salvation by your love of loving His Word. Amen.
So we ask in prayer: Dear gracious and merciful God, we continue our prayers for Augie Silva and his healing. We pray today that we never condemn the ones who do not follow Your Word but instead we pray to have the strength to share Your Son’s Salvation by our knowledge of Your Word. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”
Eternal Life is What My Father Has Sown
He cried out with love
Belief in Me will gain
My Father’s Truth to see
The Father and I as One to Be
The Light of the World to save
Humanity from sin My Way
Life void of darkness faults
A belief of My Redemption Day
You may hear My Word and feel
Sinful selfish ways are me
I will not condemn those who may
Follow Satan to your grave each day
For My Father will be their judge
Not a Word I spoke on My own
But the Father’s Truth to be known
Eternal Life is what My Father has sown
