Wigs Word of God Today 6-17-2013

We have all things even if it appears we have nothing for Christ is all things.

Working together, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. In everything we commend ourselves as ministers of God, through much endurance, in afflictions, hardships, constraints, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, vigils, fasts; by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, in a holy spirit, in unfeigned love, in truthful speech, in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness at the right and at the left; through glory and dishonor, insult and praise. We are treated as deceivers and yet are truthful; as unrecognized and yet acknowledged; as dying and behold we live; as chastised and yet not put to death; as sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing and yet possessing all things. Second Corinthians 6:1, 4-10

Second Corinthians 6:1-10, Psalm 98 & Matthew 5:38-42

The wonder of God’s grace is no match for the secular world’s flash and flair for it is the yoke of Truth that we find the real feeling of ecstasy not fantasy coupled with the enriching joys of endurance in the midst of insult. People often ask why I seem so tranquil even in the thick of insult for it is the joy of Christ’s Salvation that offers Eternal Life not the brashness of sinner’s fallacy.

You can look back over history and witness the mistreating’s of Christians all the while observing smiles of Salvation even to the point of death. How does one die with a smile while being beaten or mistreated? By placing the “Helmet of Salvation” on your head protected by grace delighting your face speaking Truth in everything we state. Here, we have all things even if it appears we have nothing for Christ is all things. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to always bear the Smile of Salvation even in the midst of insult or mistreatment. Thankful prayers for my son Allen who shared his love with me yesterday. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. Precious Blood Novena day six of special intentions. LORD from Psalm 32:5 I chant- “I declared my sin to You; my guilt I did not hide. I said, “I confess my transgression to the LORD,” and You took away the guilt of my sin.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,
Thomas Cruz†Wiggins
†Spirit led God inspired Christ fed†
Ephesians 6:17-20

Christ we can’t waste– Second Corinthians 6:1-10

Receive God’s grace
Not in vain
In an acceptable time
Salvation will reign

Cause nothing to trip you
Stumble without fault
Your ministry giving
The Truth Christ taught

Endure in hardships
If beaten, show Christ’s smile
With purity and knowledge
Love the extra mile

The Holy Spirit is Power
Speak only in Truth
Righteous weapons
Overcome insults as proof

We may seem unrecognized
Yet acknowledged by grace
In death we live
By Salvation we taste

Poor to many
Enduring the race
Possessing all things
Christ we can’t waste

Happy Father’s Day in Truth to Defend.

For through the law I died to the law that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given Himself up for me. I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing. Galatians 2:19-21

Second Samuel 12:7-13, Psalm 32, Galatians 2:16-21 & Luke 7:36-50

Our Salvation comes from the works of Christ and not the law established only by men who sin failing to recognize that the law revealed the sin establishing salvation not in Christ but in the law itself. To live for the law of the land foretells your destiny in sin void of Christ’s Way of faith, hope and love by His established Authority as the Holy One of God. The Truth allows us to follow a path of Righteousness dying to a law created by man circumventing the law to live for God and God alone. Once you find Christ’s beauty in every thought, action and deed, you’ll see Christ living in your desires, destinations and duty of everyday life as a celebration even in the midst of man’s established law of chaos.

My heart aches today on the day we recognize fathers as the rock each family is protected by for in my early years I abandoned my children for the law of selfishness. While I am confident in Christ’s Law of Love and forgiveness, I am lonely in aspects of life’s past sin that created division in a family fashioned some 30 years ago. In being forgiven by God I am strong by the Salvation His Son provided the world but I have yet to feel the love from children I once felt and fathered because of these past mistakes. My prayer is everlasting that one day they’ll see the Truth and forgive me of these injustices waking to call me dad or father as God intended life to be. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray our actions are instilled by the Law we read and pray upon each day. Prayers for all fathers especially the One and Only Father in Heaven. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. Precious Blood Novena day five of special intentions. LORD from Psalm 121:7-8 I chant- “The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will guard your soul. The LORD will guard your coming and going both now and forever.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,
Thomas Cruz†Wiggins

Ephesians 6:17-20

Happy Father’s Day in Truth to Defend– For Alexandra and Allen

Father’s Day for many
Tried and proved for few
Past sinners aching to be forgiven
Allow a Father his obvious due

My son seems lost and abandoned
The father who created his right
To live a life in libations
Created in self-will to fight

A daughter overshadowed by lust
A father lived in sorrowful sin
Division created by sensations
Not forgiven to see Truth’s win

For many of us we ache in worry
Not a call or card to begin
The ability to heal life’s problems
Created without God in self to lend

Happy Father’s Day in Truth to Defend

Find the strength to overcome sin’s enticing fallacy relishing not the false tongue.

So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake He made Him to be sin who did not know sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2nd Corinthians 5:20-21

You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, ‘Do not take a false oath, but make good to the LORD all that you vow.’ Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the Evil One. Matthew 5:33, 37

Second Corinthians 5:14-21, Psalm 103 & Matthew 5:33-37

The Truth seems hard to understand even in the midst of hearing a good sermon or listening to our president speak of the daily activities our great country exploits in every corner of the world. Many of us took lying to a new plane by living a double life seeking rewards of lust and addiction speaking only of the fantasy we lived until every story we ever ran from caught us from behind bringing us to our knees. We must be not afraid of telling it like it is relishing the confession to overcome the sin. We seem to forget we are to reconciled to God for the sake of He Who knew sin not taking on the sin of the world.

The world is full of lies and deceit for personal gain as well as private endeavors allowing our personal desires to come across in each step we take for the thoughts and feelings of satisfaction or the joy of being held. We, the surrendered people of Christ, are given the ability to “become the righteousness of God in Him.” Here, we find the strength to overcome sin’s enticing fallacy relishing not the false tongue or the soft touch of another person’s sinful lust but the Word of God Living and Breathing from the Love Christ instilled in the world. “Anything more is from the Evil One.” Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to speak Your Truth in every aspect of our lives not running from lies but instilling Your Word by our love of Your Son. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. Precious Blood Novena day four of special intentions. LORD from Psalm 31:6, 19-20 I chant- “Into your hands I commend my spirit; You will redeem me, LORD, God of Truth. Strike dumb their lying lips, which speak arrogantly against the righteous in contempt and scorn. How great is Your goodness, LORD, stored up for those who fear You.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,
Thomas Cruz†Wiggins
†Spirit led God inspired Christ fed†
Ephesians 6:17-20

All lies are the Evil One’s just as Jesus said– Matthew 5:33-37

Jesus shared history in Truth
His Disciples heard of ancestral proof
False Oath take not as a lofty loot
Vow to God the Oath of youth

The youth of a baby knows not the lie
They only ask for attention as they cry
It is men and women seeking blame
Instead of sharing in the weakness of pain

Swear not by the lips God gave all
Surely not by heaven God’s Throne so tall
Surely not by earth His Footstool to call
Jerusalem not by the Great King’s sprawl

Swear not by the head lying and unwed
Not a hair will turn black or white from what you dread
Always say yes from the heart meaning yes you led
Say no from the heart when lies try to embed

All lies are the Evil One’s just as Jesus said

Afflicted? Sure, but “not constrained,” “persecuted but not abandoned.”

We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. 2nd Corinthians 4:8-10

Second Corinthians 4:7-15, Psalm 116 & Matthew 5:27-32

Sit back and describe your afflictions: underpaid, overworked and tired? Maybe these are just a few of the complaints most people have but are they complaints to God or just your lack of focus or gumption to overcome them by faith, hope and love. God may close a door but doesn’t He open another door to guide you to His Will? If you believe and trust with your whole heart, God will deliver you according to His Plan not yours but He asks of us to proactive in our pursuit of happiness by faith we can find the work He wants us to accomplish. Work where money is not the object but only the result of loving His Truth to be His worker. Celebrate God in every step you take employed or unemployed to be the faith lifting someone up to the Guide of Life.

Being overworked isn’t something we must complain about but treasure for in His Arms we contend everything we seek by the hope we place in His Word aligning with His Spirit to feel satisfied not overworked by our surrender. If we are to work for God in the job we currently have or don’t have, we must do it with our whole heart gaining the wisdom of charity to live for His Will. As we grow older we can complain how tired we are by the lack of exercise we give our bodies need or strike a pose in desires our body craves to be tuned optimally by the love we give our souls to be energized by God’s Truth. Stand not on the sidelines of life but in the midst of sweat and aches to gain strength to live our life for His Will of charity and nothing more. Afflicted? Sure, but “not constrained,” “persecuted but not abandoned.” Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to embrace affliction by the joy we place in living for Your Word. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. Precious Blood Novena day three of special intentions. LORD from Psalm 122:8-9 I chant- “For the sake of my brothers and friends I say, “Peace be with you.” For the sake of the house of the Lord, our God, I pray for your good.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,
Thomas Cruz†Wiggins
†Spirit led God inspired Christ fed†
Ephesians 6:17-20

Bestowed in abundance Christ’s Salvation we believe– 2nd Corinthians 4:7-15

Our strength comes from Him
Not from the breath we take in a whim
His surpassing Power will never go dim
We have nothing unless His Truth we eternally swim

Constrained not in desires perplexed in our ways
Every affliction makes us grow in our days
Despair we lose by faith we crave
Persecuted or abandoned by the life lead astray

Feel destroyed by the way we lead our life
Struck down and wounded by the self-will of strife
Carry on in the Body of Jesus less you carry a knife
For in Him we are protected in our daily society’s fight

Manifested in our actions a body surrendered to His breed
Given up to death by mortal flesh unless we truly concede
In death we learn to fight for the breath we daily need
Bestowed in abundance Christ’s Salvation we believe

Never waiver for Christ’s Sake living in the midst of troubles.

Now this LORD is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom. Such by God’s mercy is our ministry, and therefore we do not waver. If our Gospel seems to be veiled at all, it is so to those who are on the way to destruction, the unbelievers whose minds have been blinded by the god of this world, so that they cannot see shining the Light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. It is not ourselves that we are proclaiming, but Christ Jesus as the LORD, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. It is God who said, ‘Let Light shine out of darkness,’ that has shone into our hearts to enlighten them with the knowledge of God’s glory, the glory on the face of Christ. 2nd Corinthians 3:17- 4:1-6

Second Corinthians 3:15–4:6, Psalm 85 & Matthew 5:20-26

We awake this morning at the tranquil Franciscan Retreat Center in Tampa, Florida taking in the Spirit of Christ living for the glory of God. We, my beautiful wife Toni and I, are here to celebrate the birth of a servant for Christ’s Sake consecrated Antonia born on the Feast of St Anthony. Yes, my amazing Soul-Mate in Christ asked not for diamonds and pearls (though she loves her jewelry), she asked to get away to someplace new to refresh our souls spending time in silence praying for faith, hope and love to overcome our selfish needs and live for the Glory of God. We serve the Spirit of Christ together shinning the Gospel Light to anyone, anytime and anywhere hoping as many of you do we can be an instrument of God’s peace.

God reminds us today we are to never waiver for Christ’s Sake living in the midst of troubles to gain a better plan directed by the Gospel we live in our actions proclaimed with our lips praying for “those who are on the way to destruction.” We must let the “Light shine out of darkness” providing hope where there is despair sharing Salvation as we “enlighten them with the knowledge of God’s glory, the glory on the face of Christ.” I was singing as I mowed the other day not thinking of others around me but feeling the moment of Christ’s Spirit listening to Leeland’s “Holy Spirit have Your way with me.” As I kneeled in the midst of hearing “what a joy it is to give my life to You,” I sang even louder, “more of You and less of me God” a young boy walked up and asked, “Are you singing?” “Amen,” I said as I looked at his smile of innocence. “God has a plan for you too young man. God Bless you!” There is freedom! Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray Your Spirit guides our every thought, action and deed. Birthday prayers for my wife and Soul-Mate in Christ, Toni. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. Precious Blood Novena day two of special intentions. LORD from Psalm 30:6, 13 I chant- “For His anger lasts but a moment; His favor a lifetime. At dusk weeping comes for the night; but at dawn there is rejoicing. So that my glory may praise You and not be silent. O LORD, my God, forever will I give You thanks.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Turning to the LORD
His veil is removed
Standing in His midst
Our surrender to His Truth

Here in this moment
We find freedom’s grace
Transformed from His image
The Spirit alive in our face

Discouraged not in our obedience
His Ministry of Salvation our guide
Veiled to those who are perishing
From sinners His Face He will always hide

Only Christ do we preach to taste
Slaves for Christ’s Sake not waste
God’s Light shining in hearts of grace
God’s knowledge of Christ on our face

Nonjudgmental Light void of condemnation relishing judgment by He Who wrote the Law.

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the Law, until all things have taken place.” Matthew: 5:17-18

Second Corinthians 3:4-11, Psalm 99 & Matthew 5:17-19

Many may think of the law as the those established by man but in your heart you know Jesus was talking about the Law written for Moses across the tablets of stone by the one and only finger that can etch by the Power only the Creator can possess. The Prophets of Old describe Jesus exactly as He was forcing us all to either choose or deny the Only Way to Heaven. Here, we find the desire to know Heaven on earth by the faith, hope and love we live for Christ’s Charity. In my mind Christ’s Charity is the joy of singing in the shout of words over a lawnmower of Christ’s love as much as it is handing a blessing bag of goodies prepared for a homeless person by the children of my class. Surrounding ourselves with the preparation as much as the act is living in God’s Law embracing the Heaven created by the charity you live.

Take some time to prepare a bag or two with your kids having them write a small note of encouragement and love from God’s Children placing cookies, juice, tooth brush, wipes and etc. in a bag. Be an active choice of living the Law trusting the surrender you embrace in the acts of kindness as much as the discipline you instill by the following the Word of God. Humanity’s open discussion of this Law has many overwhelmed with choices of welcoming differences of opinion in a nonjudgmental Light void of condemnation relishing judgment by He Who wrote the Law. When we tear down that wall of ignorance, we see every person as the created love of God void of mistakes learning wisdom by following His Truth. Amen.
We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray our actions are instilled by the Law we read and pray upon each day. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. Precious Blood Novena day one of special intentions. Novena prayers day nine for “Poppy Juan Cruz’s “health.

Ephesians 6:17-20

Meeting Jesus Face-to-Face Instilled by Faith– Matthew 5:17-19

When Jesus said, “Hey”
We listen or I dare say we pay
Abolish not the Law of the day
The Prophets knew how to pray

Abolish not Prophets who lived the law
Earth and heaven will survive in sins gnaw
As each letter of the Law will never fall
Away in hades where they eternally crawl

Everything will have taken place as God’s Divine Will
Nothing will pass not even a mother’s birth shrill
But he who breaks the least of these by cheap thrills
Teaching others to follow standing the least in heaven absolutely still

For those who obey teaching God’s grace
The Commandments they love and daily face
As their guide to the greatest in heaven’s place
Meeting Jesus Face-to-Face Instilled by Faith

Jesus will always point the Way home by the glow and warmth of His Truth.

You are the Light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Just so, your Light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Heavenly Father. Matthew 5:14, 16

Acts 11:21-26; 13:1-3, Psalm 98 & Matthew 5:13-16

You must not hide what is evident in the gleam resonating from your eyes evident in every step we take washing clean the thoughts of sinners granted by the Truth illuminating your soul. Snub you cannot once you become inundated with His Word allowing only faith, hope and love to glisten the path we take for charity. Oh, you may cause your Light to flicker but Jesus will always point the Way home by the glow and warmth of His Truth you somehow meander off to in thoughts gaining a smile or energy to act on giving in the air of disappointment. The unknown strengthens your will to live in God’s trustful joy seemingly mesmerizing like Christmas lights if you dare that obviously throws shadows of God’s Will producing forgiveness across the planes of time.

God asks us to “see your good deeds and glorify your Heavenly Father” by the Light of His Living Word never confused by the Trust we place in our hearts of forgiveness. We must choose forgiveness over anger producing action to give instead of take forming success in the midst of failures. Sometimes things happen we immediately wish we would have changed but God knows where He wants you and this cannot be diluted by minor setbacks or doors that are closed. Open the next and the next and the next until God gives you an invisible key opening others hearts and souls for Christ’s Redemption. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray Your Light produces favor to not stumble in holes of life. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. Novena day one of special intentions. Novena prayers day eight for “Poppy Juan Cruz’s “health.

Away to be trampled underfoot abused

This world must be illuminated by this Light
Like a city on a mountain shinning in the night
Unable to be hidden standing tall and bright
A lamp on a lampstand giving all that is right

You too must always shine for what others crave
The Truth of God’s Word you to learn pave
Across the streets of sin graceful and brave
All may see your good deeds glorifying the Fathers only way

The Christ the Light Humanity’s Fave

A man Redeemed encouraged by Kairos Prison Ministry.

Blessed be the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all encouragement, Who encourages us in our every affliction, so that we may be able to encourage those who are in any affliction with the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God. Second Corinthians 1:3-4

Second Corinthians 1:1-7, Psalm 34 & Matthew 5:1-12

If you look back over your life peering into the difficulties, disasters and dangers you seemingly overcame in the midst of denying the One and Only True God, you’ll notice a quiet encouragement from He Who paid the Ultimate price for your sin void of judgment covering you in forgiveness calling you home. It may have taken years for you to recognize Him but He was there encouraging you to repent from your struggles giving in to faith, hope and love by His Saving Grace.

Over this past weekend I am reminded of a man by this Scripture I met who like many of us allowed Satan to run his desires into a misery of doing things that were not only sinful but lacked any good judgment one would eagerly say if they peered into his sinful thoughts of crime and selfishness. This man happened to make more money than the Governor of the state he worked for as its tourism director yet he had a passion for robbing banks that included doing whatever it took to get away with them even to the point of hostage taking in his flee for safety.

This man got down on his knees asking Jesus to come into his life being obedient even after being sentenced to ninety-nine years. Ultimately, he would serve two years at the “Rock” changing his desires to ever commit a crime again focusing his surrender by the prison ministry he attended where he found no one judging him or despising him but encouraging him to the point of complete obedience.

Yes he served more than two years, but the Kairos Prison Ministry made such an impact on his heart by the love love listen listen approach he accepted the smiles as genuine ultimately winning respect of the Parole Board as a man of faith sorry for his crimes obedient to Christ’s Call praying to end his time where God then would continue to use him for His Glory.

This man said he owes his life to Kairos for he believes he would still be serving his 99-year sentence if he hadn’t attended Kairos Number 13. Not only did he win his freedom by his remorse and diligence of serving God by God’s Encouragement, Ken Cooper served as Kairos Weekend Leader at Union Correction Institution #40 also writing a book of his Redemption titled “Held Hostage.” Below you’ll read my poem reflecting his testimony to us while I attended Kairos Leader Training this past weekend. I pray we can all see this type of encouragement from God even if you feel you are living out a life sentence for your past sinfulness and stupidity. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to always live our life encouraged by Your Truth. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. Novena prayers day seven for “Poppy Juan Cruz’s “health. LORD from Psalm 124:8 I chant- “Our help is in the Name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Double Life Given to Christ– In honor of Ken Cooper

Forgotten and lost?
From sin totally rotten
The hearts of prisoners
Write Christ’s Gospel unforgotten

At the feet of Satan
We shake our dust
In Christ’s Name
We surrender our lust

Kairos grads I greet
Debriefed by Christ’s release
The Word of God to repeat
Into practice by Kairos relief

Release not a man of hate
Allow not his pride to state
Pointing in haste to seemingly relate
I know not why I release his fate

Crying to be washed in Light
His Blood to cleanse my fight
Bank robbing was my delight
Double Life Given to Christ

God’s Time they celebrate for free- Stages of the Kairos Journey.

Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, “A great prophet has arisen in our midst,” and “God has visited his people.” Luke 7:16

First Kings 17:17-24, Psalm 30, Galatians 1:11-19 & Luke 7:11-17

Where do we find the desire to work with tenacity of being surrendered to Christ’s Truth? Why do people walk away from the Church after their parents raise them in Christ’s love teaching them the ways of the Bible to ultimately find the selfish desires of the heart to inflict confusion and waver your focus of the ongoing journey with Christ’s love? We waiver to accept the niceness of nonsense by the good to me feelings of smoke and mirrors forgetting God is the reason for any of our feelings less we forget we need the forgiveness of our sins to overcome the untruths of world shoved down our throats by thieves and wolves of Satan’s tassels. This weekend I’ve been learning the process of awakening a soul who is lost and confused seeking the Truth but unwilling to step out and take chances for God’s love because others might observe them as fanatical.

God asks you to include others around you by taking the time in getting to know others through the process of inclusion allowing the celebration to take place once anyone sees you’re objective is to share Christ’s Salvation not steal their joy. We listen listen love love and smile. No matter the response we simply embrace all without judgment helping those in need saying yes to someone in silent want void of indecision to make the connection God placed you in to bring a brother or sister to Christ. Everyone goes through stages of God’s love awakened by the moment you were placed there by His Will engaging the spiritual holiness directing our lives to God. We must treat this gift with obedient respect offering our best as the obligation to be well versed and rehearsed finding graces from God by your surrender. We are asked this weekend: How much does it mean to you to be a part of changing someone’s life? Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to live Your stages of love for Christ’s Truth. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. Novena prayers day six for “Poppy Juan Cruz’s” “health. We pray for all Kairos participants everywhere in the world. LORD from Psalm 28:7 I chant- “The LORD is my strength and my shield, in whom my heart trusts. I am helped, so my heart rejoices; with my song I praise Him.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Participation experiences His Glory

With Open Mike we see support
The celebration ending their retort
Supporting each other to tear down their fort
Forgiveness to experience Christ even more

After three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers. When His parents saw Him, they were astonished, and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for You with great anxiety.” Luke 2: 46-48

Tobit 12:1-20, Psalm 23 & Luke 2:41-51

Why do we do what we do seems a viable question when it comes to following the Truth of Christ living in His Salvation. Today I awake in Marywood Retreat Center just off the beautiful North flowing St. John’s River near Jacksonville, Florida attending the Leadership Training for the Kairos Prison Ministry International. It is the same location that I attended my Cursillo over 21 years ago. Our training centered last night on why we do what we do in Kairos without any changes by our own desires discovering we are a sacrificial member of Kairos because we go in for the prisoners and not for our own agenda.

Many a time we attempt to place our own desires into something we are doing for God and express what they described as our “good intentions” but instead destroy the process God has put into place by prayer and grace asked for and received by past volunteers of founding members who like you and me wanted to serve the Will of God surrendered to the Truth of Jesus Christ. My poem today reflects the beginning journey last night of why we do what we do in Kairos learning it’s not about me but about them. The prisoners are the focus sharing the Truth bringing them closer to Christ as it is my hope to bring all who share in my Bible study daily the opportunity to be closer to Jesus Who is the reason why we do what we do as Disciples of His Truth. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to do what we do for Your Son’s Salvation and not our own agenda of pride. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. Novena prayers day five for “Poppy Juan Cruz’s” “health. LORD from Psalm 125:4 I chant- “Do good, LORD, to the good, to those who are upright of heart.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,

Kairos- Why we do what we do

Introductions begin our ride
Opening in prayer we must confide
Everything we learn we cannot hide
In Christ His Truth we forever rely

Stay away from the trap of good intentions
Way off course you’ll end to see
Change nothing to serve not serve you
Wrong reasons you’ll end up to be

Take me out and keep God in
Here to learn how to volunteer and win
Prisoners are the main thing to begin
Volunteers for Christ quipped to lend

How to follow the manual’s way
God inspired Spirit led to say
How many hams make a Kairos day?
Christ fed Truth to Eternally pray

Kairos began as a Cursillo tool
Building wisdom spirit void of drool
An instrument of God protected and True
In serving it’s why we do what we do

Kairos is God’s Special Time for prisoners not you
