Wig’s Word of God Today 8-6-2011

His kingship shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:14e

Until day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts. 2 Peter 1:19e

Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and do not be afraid.” Matthew 17:7

Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14, Psalm 97, 2 Peter 1:16-19 & Matthew 17:1-9

Today we celebrate something in America we have waited way too long to do. Maybe celebrate is the wrong word to use. Instead, let’s say we are encouraged today to pray and fast for our nation, the United States of America by the Governor of Texas Rick Perry. In his proclamation he wrote: “It seems imperative that the people of our nation should once again join together for a solemn day of prayer and fasting on behalf of our troubled nation. In times of trouble, even those who have been granted power by the people must turn to God in humility for wisdom, mercy and direction.”

Many would like to lead you to believe the U.S.A. is no longer One Nation Under God but one nation under self. Our nation is in need of a transfiguration itself much like the one Jesus underwent on the mountain before two of His Disciples. A change of heart so to speak where Americans humble themselves before the LORD and seek less instead of more. Many of us pray in the morning to establish the Will of God for the entire day but I would implore all Americans to pray every moment of every day to establish forgiveness to our God praying His Grace will once again fall on our great land.

Just as Jesus touched Peter and John to soothe them after being frightened by His Father calling out from Heaven on the mountain, so will He touch us and calm our fears by bowing to His Truth in true humility, seeking less to accomplish more for His Glory and praying unceasingly for guidance, wisdom and love. Our leaders must turn to God in a humble servitude to accomplish His Will for each and every one of us. I believe the Morning Star will rise again in own hearts by the majority of America who believe without God America will fail but with God “all things are possible.” On my knees I humble myself before the LORD in prayer this very moment asking God for healing and Truth to be etched in our hearts for all ages. Will you join me today to pray on your knees for America? Will you fast with America to accomplish more in Truth? “Selah- stop and listen.”

So we ask in prayer: Dear God, we pray today for America and seek Your great wisdom to accomplish Your Will for Humanity. We pray the Morning Star will rise in our hearts to never be afraid of sharing Your Truth. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

God Bless His Truth for America,

Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

Romans 8:28

“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”

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
