Embrace all with Jesus charity judging not the sinner but sharing the Salvation of sin.

Let it be known to you that this Salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen. With complete assurance and without hindrance he proclaimed the Kingdom of God and taught about the LORD Jesus Christ. Acts 28:28, 31

There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written. John 21:25

Acts 28:16-31, Psalm 11 & John 21:20-25

Our study of the Book of Acts comes to subtle ending with Paul explaining the Prophets of Old description of Salvation was fulfilled by the LORD Jesus Christ over and over again convincing some but confusing others as even Paul fulfills the Prophesy of Isaiah from chapter 6:6-9 describing with such Spirit-led accuracy and Authority the Truth of Salvation God had brought to the world as described by He amongst the bearers of witness from the beginning of time.

“Some were convinced by what he had said, while others did not believe. Without reaching any agreement among themselves they began to leave; then Paul made one final statement. “Well did the Holy Spirit speak to your ancestors through the prophet Isaiah, saying: ‘Go to this people and say: You shall indeed hear but not understand. You shall indeed look but never see. Gross is the heart of this people; they will not hear with their ears; they have closed their eyes, so they may not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be converted, and I heal them.’” Acts 28:24-27

Paul has a lot of convincing to do establishing the First Church amongst the gentiles would be as challenging as the Jews laying the Divine Foundation for Christ’s Resurrection to now as described by Christ where “the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against It.” We will prevail by the Promise established by God for he who believes in the Son of Salvation. We will speak and some will not hear while even when the do listen the will not understand keeping us focused on prayer and surrender without judgment loving all as Commanded by Jesus Himself for the Works of Christ could never fill all “that would be written.”

When I think about prayer and surrender to a Way of Christ, I think of serving the less to see more engaging pity by His Purpose noticing not sin but Salvation’s grace all should feel by the love of Christ’s Charity we lovingly seal in our hearts and souls by obedience to Deliverance by God’s Destiny for all mankind imprisoned but free radical diseased. I find Jesus more in the eyes of the homeless, hungry and hurt as much as I find His beaming Spirit from the eyes of the imprisoned held behind the gates of mistakes in society’s fulfillment of God’s Decrees. My poem today reflects the love of Christ we bring to the prisoners in South Florida’s Kairos Prison Ministry from our monthly reunion we experienced last night.

Please join me in praying for a 9-year-old little girl to know her daddy’s heart of love and protection as well as his own Walk in the LORD’s love these next nine days. Please also join me in praying for a man in blue whose description of the tears expressed last night he felt when given his first Bible grasping Freedom in the walls sentenced by sin. Behind the walls of punishment to the darkness of living on the streets of God He asks us to embrace all with His charity judging not the sinner but sharing the Salvation of sin. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to share as we dare for You LORD for the witness of Your Son following Paul to the hearts of the lost. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day two of novena prayers for Roxy. We begin a novena of prayers for Sal, Melina and Page.

Ephesians 6:17-20

My daily love for Him I cannot waste– In honor of Prisoners needing Prayer

Seeking the blessings
Not seeking the Truth
We make Him first in action
We make Him first as proof

Being freed by obligation
Searching in vain to face
Prayer for selfish rights of vindication
Praying not for God’s grace

Letting go to Him First
Mess not up the gift to relate
My life struggles with haste
My daily love for Him I cannot waste

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”* He said to him, “Yes, LORD, you know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” John 21:15

Wigs Word of God Today 5-17-2013

Love of Christ recreated just like Peter in his confessed three times of love.

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”* He said to him, “Yes, LORD, you know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” John 21:15

Acts 25:13-21, Psalm 103 & John 21:15-19

Jesus allows Peter to admit his love for Jesus not once, not twice but three times to set the record straight for denying Jesus three times after His arrest. Many Biblical Scholars agree that here in John and Matthew is when Jesus gave Peter authority over the whole flock in commissioning the Church and it guidelines by Christ’s own words in Matthew 16:18-19, “And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build My Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

Here, we find the Church built strong and centered on Christ’s Salvation to further hope in love, instill faith in peace and live the charity of Eternal Life offered by Christ for all who, “at the Name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:10-11 This is not to say even the Church will make mistakes for men not God still make decisions based upon earthly things when God only chooses Heavenly Truth. This Truth hurts sometimes and in the end corrects all faults by the Blood of His Son’s Cross.

We know that men make mistakes and run churches broke centered not on the Gospel of Christ Jesus but the stupid desires of the flesh wreaking havoc with pride displaying not the humility of Christ’s Truth. Yes, we all make mistakes but it how we surge forward in life to recognize the need for involvement spreading the joy of God’s Word established to offer faith and obedience to propel prayer whereby we give thanks to God for everything we think, say and accomplish to overcome desires of self tethered to the love of Christ recreated just like Peter in his confessed three times of love. We might deny Him but He opens His arms and receives you by His Grace of forgiveness. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray if we deny You LORD we repent quickly and hold on to Your Truth. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. We begin a novena of healing for a friend’s wife named Roxy. LORD from Psalm 136:23 I chant- “The LORD remembered us in our low estate, for His mercy endures forever.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Simon Peter confessed his love three times to concede– John 21:15-19

Jesus reappeared to the Disciples to eat
A breakfast of fish feeding the meek
Forgiveness would instill Peter to seek
Asking do you love Me will be the order to speak

The son of John Peter would no longer deny
As Jesus asked, “Do you love Me?” in a cry
You know all things Peter said to Eternally vie
As again Jesus asked a second time to spy

The real love Peter had for the Savior inside
No longer running but building to abide
“Simon, son of John, do you love Me? to confide
Peter answered yes LORD You know that I love Your stride

Jesus wasn’t finished in His Will for Peter’s streak
A third time He would ask if His love will always reach
For Jesus as he climbs to build the Churches peak
When Jesus replied the third time tend and feed His sheep

Growing old younger times will be the memories you see
Dressing yourself was easy as one two and three
Soon they will dress you and lead you to be
The kind of death to glorify by succumbing to always follow Me

Simon Peter confessed his love three times to concede

I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word, so that they may all be One, as you, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. Righteous Father, the world also does not know You, but I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

Acts 22:30; 23:6-11, Psalm 16 & John 17:20-26

Jesus has just consecrated everything the Father had ever shared with Him as He wondered the land sharing God’s Truth in Word by giving us a New Covenant of Love forthcoming in forgiveness shouldering the untruths of the world preparing for the death He sought absorbing every ounce of humanity’s sin. The Disciples are described by some Biblical Scholars as listening from a far this discourse Jesus had with the Father Himself asking to allow all God had shown Him would be revealed to the them from within as Jesus asks the Father to make them One to accomplish the faith, hope and love of charity.

Jesus asks to be made known in you too overcoming your ever rushing world of self-pity in ways you can only imagine but will relish by the surrender you give to living for His Truth. Jesus shouldn’t be something you deny but celebrate in confidence in every decision you make joining with Him to become One as you should your spouse abiding in thoughts, actions and deeds for the Good Will of mankind. I was encouraged by this beauty of living for Christ this week by a 93-year-old woman who held my hand and prayed the Our Father with me enjoining me with Christ’s love instilling surrender to God’s Word. In Him I am ready for death without Him I am already dead. Amen.

Praying aloud so the Disciples wouldn’t nod
A far they may say was Jesus praying to Him
Praying for Truth in the words they begin

Those who believe in their words find faith
They all become One with Love void of hate
As the Father is in Christ for us to relate
He asked we be in Them both as His Will of fate

The world will then believe You sent Me He said
Giving the glory the Father gave to Him instead
Of not sin and lying but Truth as they wed
Perfection only felt when you surrender your bed

The Father even loves You as He loved the Son
A gift to Jesus from the Father the ONLY One
Loved by Him before the world’s foundation was laid
God’s solution to forgiving sin by the Son Who paid

For all sins the Righteous Father even unknown He bled
In those who denied the Father or Christ Who fed
For Jesus made known the Father forgiveness instead
The Love of Him and His Son is in you He bred

In Him I am ready for death without Him I am already dead

Consecrate them in the Truth. Your Word is Truth. As You sent Me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate Myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in Truth. John 17:17-19

Wigs Word of God Today 5-15-2013

Seeking riotousness avoiding debate creating dialogue absent of judgment and hate.

I know that after my departure savage wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock. And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the Truth to draw the disciples away after them. Now I commend you to God and to that gracious Word of His that can build you up and give you the inheritance among all who are consecrated. Acts 20: 29-30, 32

Consecrate them in the Truth. Your Word is Truth. As You sent Me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate Myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in Truth. John 17:17-19

Acts 20:28-38, Psalm 68 & John 17:11-19

To live a life in Christ I believe as Jesus describes today as well as Paul who followed Christ’s own Way that we must “consecrate” everything about our lives to living in Truth for the sake of Christ’s Gospel. This really isn’t as tough at it may sound because the surrender comes from obeying every day the need to delve into the Word of God with fervent desire to practice what we preach unceasingly praying about everything we practice. I see consecrating your life to Christ as giving up selfish desires and replacing them with righteous desires of God in faith, hope and love living in charity.

It means to go as far as God tells you to and then some by avoiding men “perverting the Truth” devouring your soul like “savage wolves” enticing your good nature by their good looks, swift charm and enticing personality focusing not on the Gospel of God’s Only Son but that of what a mere man can do forgoing what Christ’s Blood has already done. By living the Life of Christ we come to know what it means to be Spirit-led God-inspired and Christ-fed in everything we do seeking riotousness avoiding debate creating dialogue absent of judgment and hate. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to consecrate everything about our lives to Your Truth. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers.

As Scripture foretold as gave way to Your Plan
As I come to You to sit at Your Right Hand
Sharing my joy in the world as I speak candidly
Sharing what I’ve known from the beginning completely

Jesus gave us His Word to entail
A life of the Father none to curtail
The world hates His Word they eternally fail
Not belonging to this world Jesus wasn’t frail

None who believe belong to the world too
Please keep them from the Evil One’s deadly flu
The sickness of sin lacking what is True
Burning in hell the world boasts as proof

Truth is what we bind in His Word to see
God’s Word is Truth following Christ faithfully

This is My Commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. John 15:12-14

Acts 1:15-17, 20-26, Psalm 113 & John 15:9-17

The LORD asks us to be His friend by the life we lead for others obedient to His Truth laying down its purpose to share faith, hope and love as friend wanting nothing more than to see the fruits of love ignite the passion of Salvation. We discover the joy of giving when we truly give our all for Christ’s Purpose of living for the love of Truth. We can’t deny this need in every corner of the world by our love of sharing the Word of God in living as friends of Christ Jesus.

Many a time homeless people will say they have no way to repay me when I offer them clothes, food or a room to take a hot shower. People are so adamant about life’s needs by their costs instead of embracing the needs of existence by their courage of hard work, honest giving and faithful service to God’s Children allowing God’s love to encompass their lives of Truth. As Jesus said, “It was not you who chose Me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name He may give you.” Amen.

Remaining in His love by a soulistic retreat

No greater love than this as I have loved you
Laying down your life is the proper thing to do
You are Christ’s friend if you give to accomplish Truth
No longer a slave because you know as He abides to soothe

Friends will hear what Christ has heard from His Father
No longer a burden but granting love without bother
Bearing fruit to remain in Christ’s Name as a brother

I have told you this so that you might have peace in Me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world. John 16:33

Wigs Word of God Today 5-13-2013

Living the peace Jesus speaks of with audacity of Truth’s journey.

Paul then said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the One who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus.” When they heard this, they were baptized in the Name of the LORD Jesus. And when Paul laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. Acts 19:3-6

I have told you this so that you might have peace in Me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world. John 16:33

Acts 19:1-8, Psalm 68 & John 16:29-33

More and more every day we take comfort in the One Who has conquered the world and lives amongst the languished, lost and lonely through the soul Baptized in His Name, namely you and me in the Spirit of God’s Truth enveloping fright with courage taking sight with love. We do “take courage” by His conquered proof laughing not at the losers of the world in judgment but enveloping tears of joy in the cleansing of Baptism living right by the Gospel of sight treasured in our hands walking across the lands.

Here, Jesus reminds us today we’ll find real peace in His guidance to live in faith, hope and love of His charity sharing His Spirit by laying hands on as many as you can in the chaos of daily routine living the peace Jesus speaks of with audacity of Truth’s journey. There is nothing that can stop Truth for Truth is God in everything we see touch and deploy with righteous joy. A young hearing impaired man who works at a Goodwill I frequent commented yesterday on my Cross saying, “Your Cross is beautiful- without God this world would be nothing.” God’s real peace in Christ’s silent Truth. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to always have peace in Your Son’s love given by You LORD. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. LORD from Psalm 138:3 & 1 I chant- “On the day I cried out, You answered; You strengthened my spirit I thank you, LORD, with all my heart; in the presence of the angels to You I sing.” In Jesus Name we pray for all teachers especially the ones teaching the Gospel of Your Son.

There’s no need to question Authority
Jesus came from God they believed reportedly

The Christ answered in understanding tone
You believe now was His response shown
He made them behold the hour untold
Scattered you places leaving Him alone

Jesus continued He’d never be alone or cold
The Father is with Him where Truth will be told
Telling them this to have peace to eternally hold
The world is trouble as they all will grow old

Courage you receive as the Christ did He’d say
Believe in Me He said to forever smell the Way
The roses of Salvation instead of living to pay

He led them [out] as far as Bethany, raised His hands, and blessed them. As He blessed them He parted from them and was taken up to heaven. Luke 24:50-51

Wigs Word of God Today 5-12-2013

The Ascension of Silence brought to our lips by His Divine Will. Inescapable. Undeniable. Eternal.

May the eyes of [your] hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to His call. Ephesians 1:18a

He led them [out] as far as Bethany, raised His hands, and blessed them. As He blessed them He parted from them and was taken up to heaven. Luke 24:50-51

Acts 1:1-11, Psalm 47, Ephesians 1:17-23 & Luke 24:46-53

He was raised and sits at the Right Hand of God by the Power created by He to leave yet enter our “hearts enlightened” as He did the day of His Ascension where after just having breakfast catching a mother load of fish by His Command from the beach putting to rest the most famous bar-b-que the world over transitioning to watching Him Rise into Heaven blessing them first in the awe of God’s Amazing Ability leaving them but causing a fire we still feel today by the Truth illuminating our hearts as He did theirs from the beginning. Jesus would send the Holy Spirit to instruct them as John would soon share his thoughts on how Christ came to be as He “enlightened” us with His Word through the Prophets sending a predestined plan to heal the wounds of sin caused by self-will uneducated on God’s Will.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through Him, and without Him nothing came to be.” John 1:1-3

Here, we find the hope to know His Call by the Word of God securing our obedience to the Will of God. Today in our celebration of remembering the Ascension we first turn the pages of God’s Truth written to instruct and enlighten our hearts of Christ’s Spirit leading us to be everything we can in the surrender of Christ’s call of living for His faith getting down on our knees in prayer to Him while serving love of Jesus in the charity we provide to bring Him alive. We can hear this call when His Word becomes our life by sharing what He asks of us not afraid of Him Rising shedding tears of joy in your crying lost not in sin but in righteousness to win the Salvation promised in the Ascension of Silence brought to our lips by His Divine Will. Inescapable. Undeniable. Eternal.

I am reminded today of two versus in the Bible that instructs our call for the greater good of humanity’s need of knowing charity in faith abiding in prayers for charity’s sake producing His love by charity’s Great Teacher in first the book of Philippians 2:12e-15 and then Ephesians 6:15-20. I pray you enjoy them both hearing your call amongst the Words of Truth prayerfully enlightening your heart to always hear His voice. Amen.

Work out your Salvation with fear and trembling. For God is the One who, for His good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work. Do everything without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, Children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine like lights in the world.” Philippians 2:12e-15

Take the helmet of Salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit. To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones and also for me, that speech may be given me to open my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel for which I am an ambassador in chains, so that I may have the courage to speak as I must.” Ephesians 6:17-20

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray our hearts are always enlightened by the Truth we live obedient to every day. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. LORD from Psalm 14:2 I chant- “The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if even one is wise, if even one seeks God.” In Jesus Name we pray for all teachers especially the ones teaching the Gospel of Your Son.

He had been instructed in the Way of the LORD and, with ardent spirit, spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John. Acts 16:25

Wigs Word of God Today 5-11-2013

Admit God is in everything we are especially in the silence of own hearts.

He had been instructed in the Way of the LORD and, with ardent spirit, spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John. Acts 16:25

For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have come to believe that I came from God. John 16:27

Acts 18:23-28, Psalm 47 & John 16:23-28

We learn today of a Jewish man name Apollos who was an “eloquent speaker” and “instructed in the Way of the LORD” but only sharing what he had learned by the hearsay of John’s baptism. He did what many of us need today: Learn about Jesus by the Disciples who are around us to better share the message of Christ’s “Way” fulfilling the destiny of God’s Divine Will enlightening the mind to instill thoughts of Truth’s Salvation. He as all of us ache in a humble spirit for God’s Truth to bear witness on everything we do allowing Apollos to go from someone who “taught accurately about Jesus” to being instructed on “the Way (of God) more accurately.”

We all have teachers around us who can help us understand the Word of God with joy in our heart lifting our spirit to thrills of breaths taken away to heaven’s height losing all fright seeing Christ in the dark of night. Close your eyes with me now as I do often when I go about my day or write and pray silently within our heart to be forgiven aligning life with Truth’s beauty obtaining the fruits of the Father’s spoil. Here, we admit God is in everything we are especially in the silence of own hearts making “Way” for Christ’s Salvation in all we care to accomplish. Again, Jesus reminds us to ask of Him to receive what the Father offers all who walk in the “Way.” Amen.

This week in our school district we celebrated teacher appreciation learning the unspoken thoughts and prayers of children who are entrusted into our care to instill faith, hope and love of life’s challenges, choices, courage and challenges again because we all know we will be challenged over and over again. As a public school teacher, I am not allowed to talk about Jesus but as a Montessori School Teacher I am allowed to talk about our Creator honoring the opinions of parental choices and celebrating with all people this unrestricted choice of humanity’s free will. No matter the way many walk in throughout every school in our world we must embrace without judgment the necessities of the child’s spirit being reverent and loving of each child’s soul.

When God’s Will placed me in a Montessori School, He did so allowing me to watch a child grow over three years instead of teaching them one and out. I watch a scared little 6-year-old walk in and three years later witness a 9-year-old emerges to be his or her own thinker relishing learning as the path life will always demand. Many of these unspoken hearts open up often during these three years but some hit you with notes of amazement when they end their third year.

This year a student wrote, “I love you. May God bless you. You’ll always be with me and I’ll always be with you. Thanks for giving me courage and everything else.” Tears only joy would bring came streaming down because I had only been with this student for three months. I began looking at another that read “Even if there’s crowd you always standing out” and God swooped me up healing so many wounds of life giving me hope our future can and will be affected by people who care. So find and hug a teacher not forgetting to love your preacher as we all learn to dig deeper to fight the Grim Reaper. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to seek instruction of those around us who lift us to new heights of understating. Prayers of thanksgiving for all teachers of the world.

†Spirit led God inspired Christ fed†
Romans 8:28

Teaching Christ is Jesus encouraged many to stay– Acts 18:23-28

Paul made his travels orderly
With purpose for God’s Truth daily
Bringing strength to all Disciples gladly
While in Ephesus a Jew taught boldly

Sharing knowledge of Christ’s only Way
Eloquent and Scripture authority they’d say
He was Apollos knowing only John’s baptism day
The Disciples Pricilla and Aquila heard what he had to say

Taking him aside they explained God’s Truth to pray
The Way of Jesus had so much more to eternally say
They taught him and watched as grace began to lay
His vigorous refutation of the Jews in public each day

Teaching Christ is Jesus encouraged many to stay

Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy. John 16:20

Wigs Word of God Today 5-10-2013

Weep in joy for those around us who seem ignorant to living God First.

One night in a vision the LORD said to Paul, “Do not be afraid. Go on speaking, and do not be silent, for I am with you. No one will attack and harm you, for I have many people in this city.” He settled there for a year and a half and taught the Word of God among them. Acts 18:9-11

Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy. John 16:20

Acts 18:9-18, Psalm 47 & John 16:20-23

Paul heard the Power in a vision, “Do not be afraid” placing His Spirit in his heart living bold by the Truth He shared in Christ’s Salvation. Here, we see Paul gaining the strength of angels by the Truth he centers his life around and in Christ’s Gospel. There is nothing else Paul wanted to do but share the Word of God baptizing for Christ’s Salvation. He left his old self behind conquering all in the Name of Christ Jesus. Where do you hear God’s strength in your life? As for me, I see it in the Word I practice each and every day. I practice what I preach so to speak seeking to live in communion His Will by keeping my mind thinking about His Truth in every circumstance I encounter aligning my faith to establish hope conquering love by charity.

Jesus describes the ways we mourn and weep for those around us who seem ignorant to living God First in all circumstances grieving as we grope to fathom why finding joy as we cry tears of Salvation allowing us to never die. My invitation is constant in all aspects of my life from when I arise to when I place my head on my pillow; I am praying and thanking God for His Truth. I placed this love in the midst of children squabbling over fun in the streets as a child knocked on my door the other day to ask me to get a kid from beating his brother up. Finding strength in God to do what you have to do to protect yourself I reminded them is centered in every human heart even your parents would agree with. “Don’t be afraid to tell his parents or your parents,” I said. “As you ask God for help too.” Let us place God First and know God’s love preaching Salvation. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray we are never afraid to share Your Truth. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. LORD from Psalm 13:6 I chant- “But I trust in Your mercy. Grant my heart joy in Your Salvation, I will sing to the LORD, for He has dealt bountifully with me!” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,

†Spirit led God inspired Christ fed†
Romans 8:28

Ask My Father in My Name He will give you to grow– John 16:20-23

The Christ would give His Light
To the Disciples as they cried
Weep and mourn you will
World rejoicing even still

To grieve in the midst of joy
Seems hard to love the ploy
What you weep you will sow
By God’s Word in Me to know

Labor for a woman causes agonizing pain
Lest she forget holding the child she gains
For once the baby arrives we naturally refrain
From sinning lest we forget by what is lame

Anguish is now on your hearts before I go
It is I that make you feel sadness to know
You will see your hearts rejoice never to blow
A question for me in Heaven rejoicing to show

Ask My Father in My Name He will give you to grow

May the eyes of [your] hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to His call, what are the riches of glory in His inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of His Power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of His Great Might, which He worked in Christ, raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavens. Ephesians 1:18-20

Wigs Word of God Today 5-9-2013

No judgment to pass from your heart but the radiance of His call.

May the eyes of [your] hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to His call, what are the riches of glory in His inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of His Power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of His Great Might, which He worked in Christ, raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavens. Ephesians 1:18-20

And He said to them, “Thus it is written that the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in His Name to all the nations” Luke 24:46-47

Acts 1:1-11, Psalm47, Ephesians 1:17-23 & Luke 24:46-53

There is a beauty in the enlightenment of your heart by Christ that takes your breath away when you sit and pray aloud or in silent accepting “His call” feeling educated, edified and energized by knowing the release of falsehoods and fantasies obedient to surrender and Salvation. Jesus Christ has more freedom than failure tolerance than persecution providing an undying expectation of Truth. In the eyes of the few and proud silent or loud can refuse His Truth but your duty is not to debate but rather establish dialogue by your practice of living the Word of God.

This doesn’t mean you have to a Bible expert, it means you have to read the Word of God daily and over time His Word will be the reason you give faith, live hope and understand charity. The dialogue you create with nonbelievers must show understanding and reason allowing no judgment to pass from your heart but the radiance of “His call” from your soul to accomplish sharing your faith, teaching Truth by your prayer as we work charity providing love over judgment. People will be drawn to you by the work of His Right Hand in you favoring Truth allowing change to occur in the hearts of sin. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray our hearts stay enlightened by the grace of Your Truth. Prayers for my step-son Gabriel whose birthday was yesterday. Prayers for Dr, Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. LORD from Psalm 140:5 I chant- “Keep me, LORD, from the clutches of the wicked; preserve me from the violent, who plot to trip me up.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,

†Spirit led God inspired Christ fed†
Romans 8:28

The Mercy of God in His Valleys of Truth– Psalm 23

I lack absolutely nothing
By the Shepard of Life
Lying down in green pastures
In still waters I’m reborn to ignite

He leads me restoring my soul
Only His paths of Truth I find
For the sake of His Name I go
Allowing my life to be His in kind

The death in valleys I fear not
No evil will overcome my belief
Comforted by His rod and staff
His Truth I eternally conceive

God’s table is set before me
As enemies jockey to kill
He anoints my head with oil
I live according to His Will

As my cup overfloweth
Goodness and mercy I pursue
My life throughout all my days
In His House I live to never undue

The Mercy of God in His Valleys
Allow us to live for His Truth
In His 23rd Psalm of David
God’s Love is forever True
