If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me

Wig’s Word of God Today 3-10-2011

 

I call heaven and earth today to witness against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, by loving the LORD, your God, heeding His voice, and holding fast to Him. Deuteronomy 30:19-20a
 
Then He said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Luke 9:23
 
Deuteronomy 30:15-20, Psalm 1:1-2, 3, 4 and 6 & Luke 9:22-25
 
We are all living a life for Truth by trusting in the LORD to bring us the strength to deny ourselves lifting our Cross of Christ high over our heads each day to accomplish the Will of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. Moses further explains the blessing and the curse by describing the Ten Commandments as the only way to live in grace through loving the LORD in following the decrees He shared with Moses to guide humanity to peace and harmony. Moses charged all to know that heaven and earth will witness against the lives you lead in public and private and you can rest assure God is watching every decision and action you will every make just as your neighbors, friends and communities are a witness to the life you lead in Christ.
 
Last night I read a bumper sticker that said, “Calling you a Christian just because you attend church on Sunday is like calling you a car if you visit your garage.” There is more to a life in Christ than just visiting your church on Sunday. There is life to lead in His Word that pushes you to be a person of action, of compassion and of Truth void of all acts of self. The world needs Christians of action who are willing to deny themselves to accomplish works of faith, charity and love. God has asked us all who believe in His Son to accomplish more than just attending church Sunday. He wants us all to know Eternal Life by our faith in Jesus Christ. In loving your love of Christ, you will live by His Words; “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.” Luke 9:25
 
So we ask in prayer: Heavenly King, we pray today for strength to carry the Cross of Your Son be it heavy or light to further the Gospel for the Salvation of Souls. We ask this in the Name of Christ Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen.
 
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”
 
Live Forever the Gospel of Trinity
 
Live void of death and doom
Commandments of vitality groom
A life to lead in action to prove
Your worth to enter Heaven’s room
 
Loving Him and walking in His ways
All your exertion of faith He sees
Numerous descendants of Humanity
Keeping His commandments and decrees
 
Hearts lead astray seeking false Gods
Choose an existence of burning fate
Void of a long life He promised to state
Witnessed by heaven and earth to relate
 
Come after Him and surely see
His Truth of living Eternally
For whoever loses their life abundantly
Will live forever the Gospel of Trinity

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do! I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650. I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect. I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain, Yours in Christ, Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
