Overcome the silence to rouse all to love accomplishing the Good Works of Christ.

We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works. Hebrews 10:24

For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible; nothing is secret except to come to light. Mark 4:22

Hebrews 10:19-25, Psalm 24 & Mark 4:21-25

There stems a courage that runs deep in the veins of humanity’s Prophets of Old who defied reason by the Power of God resting not until every last opportunity was given to give your all to everyone around you. This same audacity is needed to rouse the lost, lonely and left behind to accomplish Good Works in Christ as the hands and feet of charity. We must use this nerve of Christ’s confidence to be unafraid as we approach our daily lives stifling the proud, encouraging the lonely and carrying the lost to the assemblies to welcome and share in their sufferings to increase their courage to be all they can be for Christ. We must as Paul so eloquently stated, “rouse one another to love and good works.”

We will find as we lend a hand to God’s Purpose that there’s more to life than our own desires of getting ahead when we purposely learn to lose ourselves in Christ’s hope of charity for all humanity. We know when we enter anyone’s habits, havens or homes we are to encourage what Christ has brought into the Light to make visible for the forgiveness of sins creating desire to live in consideration, compassion and charity just as Mahatma Gandhi did before being killed 65 years ago yesterday.

Teaching non-violence peace as Christ did he was a symbol of God’s Truth to the very end and my school celebrated the peace he taught the world yesterday in our third annual “Peace March” in recognition of Martin Luther King who imitated Christ’s non-violent way to overcome oppression that changed the world. Below is a copy of the “Poetry Play of Gandhi’s Peace” I wrote and performed with my class of 31 amazing 6-9-year-olds. I pray we can give our lives to the Light that makes charity a norm in the lives of each and every child taught today. God help us to overcome the silence to rouse all to love accomplishing the Good Works of Christ. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we live Your Light prepared to rouse and contribute to the Good Works You desire. Praying for the Emmaus Team of South Carolina. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. We pray for Greg Bishop’s healing. LORD, help us to be more confident in our daily walk with You. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

It’s not what we get in the end but what we live for Him in charity.

The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying: “This is the Covenant I will establish with them after those days, says the LORD: ‘I will put My laws in their hearts, and I will write them upon their minds,’” He also says: “Their sins and their evildoing I will remember no more.” Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer offering for sin. Hebrews 10: 15-18

“The mystery of the Kingdom of God has been granted to you. But to those outside everything comes in parables, so that ‘they may look and see but not perceive, and hear and listen but not understand, in order that they may not be converted and be forgiven.’” Mark 4: 11-12

Hebrews 10:11-18, Psalm 110 & Mark 4:1-20

The levitical practice of daily sin offerings and sacrifices are finally recognized as ineffective in forgiving iniquity when Jesus took upon Himself the submission of allowing all humiliation, torture and death to conquer sin forever.  The forgiveness of sin demonstrated by His sinless willingness to die for me and for you erases the need to offer anything except complete obedience to living a life in Christ to instill the Kingdom of Heaven as you live in His faith, His hope and His love to understand His desired obedience to charity not a parity of life wrapped in selfish desires of flesh, greed and excess.

By placing God’s Laws in your heart and acting in obedience to living this life here on earth then you live by the necessities to drive humanity to seek not the riches of selfless greed or even the thought of Eternal Life for if you are seeking the prize more than living in Christ then His Laws are not obeyed in your heart. The Mystery of the Kingdom of God is not searching for a perfect life to find a perfect Heaven but to live your life in His Gospel to be the hands and feet of Christ in success and failures as Jesus does what he does best to win souls to continue faith, hope and love creating Heaven on earth. It’s not what we get in the end but what we live for Him in charity in the here and now that transforms people by His love, laughter and life we follow to share by our example. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we live Your Laws in our heart LORD. Praying for the Emmaus Team of South Carolina. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. We pray for Greg Bishop’s healing. LORD, praying for calm in the midst of inaccuracies. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Romans 8:28

Evildoing He remembers no more to pay– Hebrews 10:11-18

The priest in the day

Would offer sacrifice to pray

Away the sins they did pay

No sin was ever washed away

Only One offered THE Sacrifice to obey

The Father in Heaven to stay

At His Right Hand to this day

All Eternity together as One we say

Awaiting until enemies go grey

Footstools upon His feet they may

From His Perfect offering to play

Humanity consecrated the Holy Spirit displayed

For the Spirit of Truth relayed

This Covenant He truly has paid

His Laws on our heart to stay

In our minds we recite day-by-day

He also conveyed

No more I see sins swayed

Evildoing He remembers no more to pay

Forgiveness of these no longer needs sacrifices to lay

We accept Jesus as the acknowledged sacrifice for sin once and for all.

Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of them, it can never make perfect those who come to worship by the same sacrifices that they offer continually each year. Hebrews 10:1

A crowd seated around Him told Him, “Your mother and your brothers [and your sisters] are outside asking for You. ”But He said to them in reply, “Who are My mother and [My] brothers?” Mark 3:32-33

Hebrews 10:1-10, Psalm 40 & Mark 3:31-35

The true beauty of the Word of God is the explanations given for us to reason our minds to let our hearts let go and surrender to God’s Only Son to live in forgiveness experiencing faith, hope and love every second of every day of our life. Today Paul explains why the people who follow Jesus grasps that the Old Testament sacrifices did not effect the divine benefits to come but only foreshadowed them. The sacrifices effected nothing in forgiveness of sin for there would be no need for constant repetition. These sacrifices offered up on a regular basis was an incessant recap of the sin’s being committed by the people further acknowledging it was not reasonable to believe human sins can be removed by the blood of animals through animal sacrifices.

No, Christ understood His duty was to fulfill the revelation in Psalm 40: 5-8, “Blessed the man who sets his security in the LORD, who turns not to the arrogant or to those who stray after falsehood. You, yes you, O LORD, my God, have done many wondrous deeds! And in your plans for us there is none to equal you. Should I wish to declare or tell them, too many are they to recount. Sacrifice and offering you do not want; you opened my ears. Holocaust and sin-offering you do not request; so I said, “See; I come with an inscribed scroll written upon me.” We accept Jesus as the acknowledged sacrifice for sin once and for all nullifying all Old Testament sacrifices thankful Jesus understood God’s Will offering His own body for the forgiveness of sins forever. Amen.

Over the years I have listened to many a person discuss whether Jesus had brothers and sisters or was He the only child of Joseph and Mary after his birth in the Manger. My wife and I have talked about this every now-and-then and she heard an explanation once that when Jesus was dying on the Cross looking down at his mother and the Disciple John Jesus exclaims, “behold your mother,” giving Mary a designated person to watch over her for if she had other sons and daughters Jesus would not have given her His disciple as her surrogate son. Jesus was being told His brothers and sisters are waiting outside referring to the disciples in waiting as described today when referring to your brothers and sisters in Christ. Jesus wanted them to know anyone who follows His Truth will be His brothers and sisters as well as your own brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we live in Your Inheritance calling one another Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Praying for the Emmaus Team of South Carolina. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. We pray for Greg Bishop’s healing. LORD, guide us to love. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Romans 8:28

The Body of Jesus Christ once for all– Hebrews 10:1-10

The law only shadows

The goodness of things to come

Not an image of sacrifices

Bulls blood constantly run

Never making perfect

Those who seek same

Offered continually each year

As playing a selfish game

Once cleansed from sin

Each no reason to return

But a yearly remembrance?

For blood of bulls can’t end

No sacrifices desired

Body prepared in a scroll for me

Burnt offerings no delight

I come doing Your Will to see

Neither delight or desired

The sin offerings of animal’s fall

We have been consecrated through His offering

The Body of Jesus Christ once for all

Christ’s death realized humanity’s deliverance from disobediences.

Enjoy today’s study in a podcast at www.cruz-wiggins.com

Those who are called may receive the Promised Eternal Inheritance. Hebrews 9:15c

If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him. Mark 3:26

Hebrews 9:15, 24-28, Psalm 98 & Mark 3:22-30

The Holy Spirit is our victor over Satan’s enticing trick of sin by accepting Jesus’ role as mediator of the New Covenant based upon His Sacrificial Death. Christ’s death realized humanity’s deliverance from disobediences committed under the Old Covenant, which the Mosaic sacrifices were incapable of obliterating. There was no Eternal Life as promised by God for it could not be achieved until Christ fulfilled all necessities of God’s Spirit producing the Immaculate Conception, a life of miracles and healings, dying on a Cross sinless refusing to fight back and ultimately Rising again to be the True Victor over death. The Old Testament tradition of using blood to remit our sin as Moses did to seal the agreement between God and His people becomes obsolete by the New Covenant of love guaranteed by the Blood of Christ washing all of us clean.

We find such peace in Christ’s New Covenant by living according to His Word rebuking Satan when he attempts to destroy, divide or decimate your love of God. We must allow the Holy Spirit to be our guide in calling out to Him constantly never brushing God’s Truth aside but lifting His cleanliness around our ambiance of love. When you rise up against Satan allowing the Holy Spirit to enlighten your soul’s love of living for Jesus, then you find the capability, courage and candor to give your free will direction to live in God’s Divine Will of predestination. Yes, you are predestined by our LORD’s Will to live on faith, hope and love finding out life is more about charity than identity losing the ego to live in His love show. “Those who are called may receive the Promised Eternal Inheritance.” Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we receive Your Promised call of inheritance. Praying for the Emmaus Team of South Carolina. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry.  Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. We pray for Greg Bishop’s healing. LORD, keep us calm in Your Truth. In Jesus Name we Eternally pray. Amen.

Delivering transgressions

From the old covenant confessions

If you are summoned

You obey God’s lovin’

Because you are shovin’

Satan’s sin a buggin’

A sanctuary He entered

Not built but delivered

Heaven itself considered

Appearing for God unpilfered

Repeatedly offered for sin

His Blood dripped once to begin

The foundation of the world transcends

The New Covenant’s Promise to win

Die once and for all to lend

Appearing for to comprehend

Salvation for this who defend

Life must be lived in rejoicing “for rejoicing in the LORD is your strength!”

Enjoy today’s study in a podcast at www.cruz-wiggins.com

Do not be saddened this day, for rejoicing in the LORD is your strength! Nehemiah 8:10e

Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. Some people God has designated in the church to be, first, apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then, mighty deeds; then, gifts of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues. Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts. 1^st Corinthians 12:27-28, 30

Nehemiah 8:2-4, 5-6, 8-10, Psalm 119, 1^st Corinthians 12:12-30 & Luke 1:1-4, 4:14-21

We all seem to be confused by the sadness that goes on around us demonstrating a lack of love for God seems unfathomable to most of us that God is ignorantly being ignored as we strive to be the most selfish we can as a world instead of calling on God naturally from conception to natural death. Yes, I would say our life is missing God from conception to natural death and must be lived in rejoicing “for rejoicing in the LORD is your strength!”

We will naturally be saddened by the situations we all live in life where tears of Christ’s love washes clean the sins of all humanity allowing us a potency to live in peace celebrating Truth as desire, determination and destiny to live in God’s Divine Will as One Body in Christ. Many of us will strive for spiritual gifts to heighten the desire to always place God first but some will use less determination in arriving at the destiny each and every one of us will conclude.

How will we live our life before reaching what is really one breath one heartbeat away? Living in faith, hope and love is just as much a spiritual gift as preaching from the pulpit or living your life for Christ in a Convent. Paul reminds us today we should all live for this spiritual gift and share it as the knowledge of Christ’s Redemption striving eagerly to walk in Christ’s offering of devotion, desire and destiny of God’s love. “Do not be saddened this day, for rejoicing in the LORD is your strength!” Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we rejoice in Your strength of a spiritual gift to share Your Son’s Salvation. Praying for the Emmaus Team of South Carolina. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry.  Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. We pray for Greg Bishop’s healing. LORD, guide our hearts. In Jesus Name we Eternally pray. Amen.

Romans 8:28

Christ’s Church is One Body for me and you– 1st Corinthians 12:12-30

The Corinthians are told

Arguably even sold

The Truth by Paul so bold

Of Christ’s whole Body to show

Many parts to grow

Into one body to know

As Christ is One to sow

Baptized Jew or Greek will stow

Each drink of the same Spirit

Holy Ghost of strength to win it

Not being afraid of any part to profit

In Christ we live as the whole body’s knowledge

God’s construction also honors

Suffering parts honored too

God designates apostles and prophets

Not all do mighty deeds in youth

Some may have strength of healing

Or maybe they speak a variety of tongue’s gruel

The love of teaching shares His Body

Christ’s Church is One Body for me and you

Encouraging no shame of open acknowledgment of Jesus’ Salvation.

For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control. So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our LORD, nor of me, a prisoner for His sake; but bear your share of hardship for the Gospel with the strength that comes from God. Second Timothy 1:7-8

2 Timothy 1:1-8, Psalm 96 & Mark 3:20-21

How many times did your mother tell you to mind your manners whether boy or girl by the love we trust in God’s Only Son? We are always told to be careful of sin but wallow in it as parents denying our children the right to know God and trust Him with everything in our lives. Paul is keeping Timothy fired up for the LORD knowing He is “a prisoner for His sake” encouraging no shame of open acknowledgment of Jesus in Timothy’s thoughts, testimony and temptations bearing his “share of hardship for the Gospel with the strength that comes from God.”

Why as mothers and fathers will we not send our children out to mind their manners with Christ as their guide? I remember distinctly as a child those who were saved by confessing Christ as LORD and those of us who were obviously not. I have learned to remove a “spirit of cowardice” by the practice, prayer and proclaiming I do in every facet of my life. For far too long I have denied the One and Only True God leaving me hopeless, hostile and hungry for Christ’s Salvation of sin. No matter the fault I can turn to Him and say I am sorry for my sins LORD repenting earnestly in my heart to embrace my communion with God’s Truth.

Paul reminds us today it’s Ok to not be ashamed of your testimony to Jesus sharing love with self-control bearing “your share of hardship for the Gospel with the strength that comes from God.” Sometimes I think the strength I have comes only from His Gospel I surrender myself to everyday. I will not be ashamed nor will give in to denying the Truth by the love I have developed to share the charity of God’s Will. We are not ashamed when we purposely share Christ somehow some way during every moment of our lives. Our “Walk to Emmaus” can be our walk daily in the lives we encounter in the battlefields of humanity. Read your Bible in practice every day. Pray unceasingly every moment of your life. Proclaim without shame. Amen.

Today I begin a new personal way of sharing Christ’s Gospel when I begin to podcast my Scripture Study each day. Today as every day I come to you all surrendered but from now on I’ll be including the option to listen to my study or stop by YouTube and watch it live every day to put a face with the words. Today I begin sharing Christ’s voice through my lips of love for Him. I pray we all find the faith, hope and love of Christ in each moment we live our lives for charity. Christ’s Charity of Truth by our thoughts, action and deeds. I pray what I share in brevity can bring about a poetic sense to living God’s Word. Thank you for sharing His Truth with me. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we are never ashamed of Your Son’s Gospel of Love. We pray for each other as we carry about our daily lives for You LORD. Praying for the Emmaus Team of South Carolina. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry.  Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. We pray for Greg Bishop’s healing. LORD, thank You for letting me share Your Truth.

Share the Gospel with poverty each day– 2 Timothy 1:1-8

Paul begins his letter to Timothy

Proclaiming he lives in God’s sympathy

A Promised life in Christ Jesus’ beauty

Dear child grace, mercy and peace from God almighty

Worshipping God is Paul’s story

Grateful he is for Christ’s glory

A clear conscious as his ancestors prayed

Paul praying for Timothy every night and day

Yearning to see the tears of Timothy’s love

As Paul yearned for Salvation from above

So sincere was Timothy’s rejoicing faith

His Mother Eunice and Grandmother Lois relate

Paul reminds him by his hands to stir in the flame

The gift of Spirit as you eternally proclaim

Nothing to hide or cowardly disdain

Rather power and self-control testimony the same

Nor of me be afraid to bear hardship to pray

God will deliver you to Heaven to stay

Share the Gospel with poverty each day

Your strength from God His proclamation you say

Together we must “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.”

I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ Acts 22:7

Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:15-16

Acts 22:3-16, Psalm 117 & Mark 16:15-18

Many a saint over the years has taken this call and literally proclaimed “the Gospel to every creature” singing to the birds and holding in their arms the lost, lonely and languished not allowing anything or anyone to stand in their way. In their life they followed the Truth by practice, prayer and preaching sharing God’s Word first and foremost in a life represented by Christ’s guidance. In proclaiming the Gospel to every child, citizen and creature, most entered a conversion that changed their life forever as many of us have going through different types of retreats or friendships developed in the LORD.

I remember when I first left my Emmaus weekend on cloud nine feeling a warmth I’d never experienced before seeking, sharing and searching again and again God’s Word becoming a heart-driven desire where my soul seemed to be connected to the Spirit of Truth. I knew I needed to live in God’s Word no matter my faults searching the text with peaceful daily occurrences as I grew into being called to share what I study and feel by God’s Spirit driven thoughts, actions and deeds. I knew people around me had to be believers who maybe had experienced something similar as I growing from a sinner into a soother guided by God’s Word.

Yes, “we become who we surround ourselves with” no matter what mistakes you make along the way. Here, in this place, we come together as believers to proclaim the Gospel by experience not just by a pastor or preacher who will always be very important in your walk with Christ but more importantly people who like you identify with the experiences of every day sinners “who were lost but now are found.” Together we must “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature” not allowing anything to stand in our way. The very reason I began writing “Wig’s Word of God Today.” To share the Redemption that saved the world from sin. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear God, we pray today to proclaim the Gospel to every creature. We continue praying for the Emmaus candidates of this past weekend and its team members. We pray they are experiencing the Word of God without prejudice or bother. Praying for the Emmaus Team of South Carolina. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry.  Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. We pray for Greg Bishop’s healing. LORD, thank You for life. In Jesus Name we Eternally pray. Amen.

By your belief in Christ they will recover quick– Mark 16:15-18

Sure to awake a repenting sinner’s tear

When they learn to believe

By you sharing the Gospel conceived

Baptize them so they will be saved

Condemned those who don’t learn to behave

Oh yes My signs will accompany you all

Your belief in Me will drive out demons so tall

Speaking new languages you will begin to call

Picking up serpents without making them fall

Even if you drink something deadly wrong

Nothing will harm you always to be strong

Lay your hands upon the lonely and the sick

Approach Christ to be forgiven and seek patience, persistence and peace.

Jesus is always able to Save those who approach God through Him, since He lives forever to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25

Whenever unclean spirits saw Him they would fall down before Him and shout, “You are the Son of God.” Mark 3:11

Hebrews 7:25–8:6, Psalm 40 & Mark 3:7-12

The surrender takes time for some and for others it happens in the flash of second as we approach Christ to give up the ways of sin and seek patience, persistence and peace in life to live for God’s Commands and not our own self-centered desires. It will never be easy in our defined frailty but always centered on faith in Christ’s Divine appointment and not that of the law of men living in weakness but the Creator of Life Who lives in Mighty and Eternal. “For the law appoints men subject to weakness to be high priests, but the Word of the Oath, which was taken after the law, appoints a Son, Who has been made Perfect Forever.”

Many a man and woman will desire persistence to guide them as the secular world throws more and more flesh in their faces stroking their egos allowing Satan to steal their soul. Without persistence of living for Christ and making a choice with your thoughts, actions and deeds to give your all to His Way you will become filled with “me” desires instead of breathing for the Truth found only in faith, hope and love of God’s charity. Here we find a peace unsurpassed in the entire world where we dare to ask strangers to pray with us to find Christ’s charity in the love of living for Him.

Yesterday, I was reminded of this when I had lunch in local fast-food place- not the “Golden Arches” but the “Freckled Faced Wendy” place whose Pretzel Roll seemed inviting. As I waited in line to order I noticed about six elderly ladies ordering their lunch too and we all sat down near one another. I calmly spoke up and said, “Ladies, since we haven’t begun to eat yet, would you care to join me in prayer before our meal?” “Oh yes,” came the reply of one of them as I stood up to stand next to their table exclaiming “Praise God.”

Finishing the prayer I sat back down and conversed with them for a while exchanging dialogue about a God and Son we live our lives for. They invited me back next Wednesday for some lunch-time fellowship which I do look forward to. God can place you in places of to be His charity of faith, hope and love by living in each moment for God’s Truth where we live in patience, persistence and peace of God’s Divine Will. Will you share a prayer with a stranger today? By God He asks us to. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear Father above, we pray today to always approach You by Your Son Jesus Christ. We continue praying for the Emmaus candidates of this past weekend and its team members. We pray they are experiencing the Word of God without prejudice or bother. Praying for the Emmaus Team of South Carolina. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry.  Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca.

Since He is a forever intersession for them

Not the binding laws of foolish old men

A fitting High Priest separated from sin

Undefiled, innocent and Holy just to begin

Higher than the heavens he shall eternally Swim

Not needing a day-to-day sacrifice to trim

Such as the high priests own sins of whim

Offered Himself once and for all to win

The appointment of Son by the Father of all

Not subject to weakness as the men who like to brawl

The One and Only High Priest endlessly providing the Sacrifice for sin.

It was fitting that we should have such a High Priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the heavens. He has no need, as did the high priests, to offer sacrifice day after day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; He did that once for all when He offered Himself. Hebrews 7:26-27

Hebrews 7:1-28, Psalm 110 & Mark 3:1-6

Melchizedek was the king of Salem (Jerusalem) who blessed Abraham in Genesis 14:18–20); like other kings of the time he performed priestly functions. The writer of Hebrews describes today in Chapter 7 what he sees in Melchizedek as a type of Christ. We must realize God instituted His Redemption for humanity from the beginning of time instituting priests as we grew to offer sin sacrifices for the law could only appoint high priests with human limitations while the fulfillment of God’s oath regarding the priesthood of Melchizedek shared in Psalm 110:4 making the Son of God the perfect priest forever. Jesus fulfilled all prophesies giving humanity the One and Only High Priest endlessly providing the Sacrifice for sin by dying on a Cross sinless and holy.

Jesus in today’s world seems a far off memory forgotten in circles of discontent wanting only the desires of the heart stemming from the excess of flesh, flirtations and fame. We want more skin, more sociality and more recognition for accomplishments of living a life of self. The Perfection we see in poverty we forget in wealth by the darkness created around our hearts of filth. Walk down any street in America and you’ll see more skin from men and women than 50 years ago.

If you’re not on FaceBook, then you’ve chosen peace over pettiness living in desires of God? The social drive of information today seems too much too soon too late gathering life-long friends to steal away your hearts from the charity your community needs. I see people looking at a phone driving, walking and sitting in public as if the text they are getting or the FaceBook post they are reading is the most important thing in the world.

Priorities have shifted pilfering our faith, hope and love and turned us into disbelief, despair and derelicts living for the gratification of flesh without enlightening the soul. Thankfully, we have the High Priest Who took away our sins by the life, death and resurrection proving He is God’s Only Son. We learn by example knowing He was “holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the heavens” allowing us a True King to worship in Truth. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to always praise the High Priest of Christ. Praying for SC & STL Emmaus. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry as we begin our meetings to visit the imprisoned.  Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. We pray for Greg Bishop’s healing. In Jesus Name we Eternally pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Thomas Cruz†Wiggins

Romans 8:28

The earth and humanity had begun to sigh– Hebrews 7:1-28

Melchizedek was the king of Salem now Jerusalem

Hailed as a priest by the God Most High

Abraham got his blessing returning from the defeat of the kings

Getting one-tenth of everything from Abraham was his reply

His first name was means righteous king

King of Peace was his cry

No mother or father or end of life

Resembling the Son of God no deny

Another priest had to raised

The earth and humanity had begun to sigh

No law expressed physical descent

You are a priest forever Order of Melchizedek testified

Wig’s Word of God Today 1-22-2013

Become “imitators of those who, through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.”

We earnestly desire each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness for the fulfillment of hope until the end, so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who, through faith and patience are inheriting the promises. Hebrews 6:11-12

Hebrews 6:10-20, Psalm 111 & Mark 2:23-28

Paul explains to the Hebrews in our reading today to remain eager “for the fulfillment of hope until the end” imitating saints of old who by “their faith and patience” inherited the Promise of God to its fullest. Our lives are filled with sluggish imitation if we fail to keep God’s Word in front of every step we take partaking in the fulfillment of living in Everlasting Life with Christ’s faith, hope and love engulfing charity as Jesus did in every step He took. Our eagerness comes from God’s amazing feeling of love that transcends on you in breathtaking moments of Truth.

To live in their imitation of “faith and patience” we must lose ourselves in Christ by practice, prayer and proclamation that has no shame. Oh, you’ll have those who will balk at your car full of Jesus stickers but that one person coming across it in whatever God’s Divine Will interprets will cause repentance, rejuvenation and restoration rendering “the same eagerness for the fulfillment of hope until the end.” Don’t be shy to say in a shirt Jesus is LORD over your life distributing Christ’s Truth by example where your proclamation comes to life without words while the smile readily indicates Christ’s dialogue will follow if asked for. Become “imitators of those who, through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.” Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to always demonstrate eagerness to obtain the Promise of Everlasting Life with You in heaven Father. Praying for SC & STL Emmaus. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry to gain a few good men.  Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. We pray for Greg Bishop’s healing. We walk in Your Promise LORD for our promises are far too often broken and our lives filled with sin seeking forgiveness from our shame within. In Jesus Name we Eternally pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Thomas Cruz†Wiggins

Romans 8:28

Jesus is our forerunner High Priest to yearn– Hebrews 6:10-20

Unjust God is not

Love demonstrated in lot

Not overlooking your spot

Of work in love you got

In His Name you give the Truth

Confessing your crime to boot

The sin from your heart of loot

Fulfillment of hope aloof

Sluggish you can’t become

Imitators of those He can’t shun

By faith and patience love in fun

Inheriting the Promise God’s Only Son

God made a Promise to Abraham too

No one greater He swore upon as proof

Indeed multiplying with blessings refute

Abraham obtained the Promise to patiently recruit

All argument must come to an end

We are heirs of His Promise to completely defend

All sin from humanity we couldn’t begin to comprehend

Holding fast to the hope that lies before us to after sin

Anchor of the soul resting sure and firm

Taut reaching behind the veil to learn

Jesus is our forerunner High Priest to yearn

According to the Order of Melchizedek’s turn
