From the rising of the sun to its setting let the Name of the LORD be praised. Psalm 113:3

Wig’s Word of God Today 1-11-2013

Our witness is strengthened by His Love giving you victory.

Who [indeed] is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? First john 5:5

“Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.” Jesus stretched out His hand, touched him, and said, “I do will it. Be made clean.” And the leprosy left him immediately. Luke 5:12f-13

First John 5:5-13, Psalm 147 & Luke 5:12-16

We all give testimony by a life we lead based upon the beliefs instilled in our soul by the faith, hope and love we learn as a child growing into an adult. Our witness is strengthened by the Love we believe in that drives us to be forever faithful to God’s Truth. This where we begin our journey of connection, constancy and courage to love Christ’s Salvation above all other wants, wonders and worries of a life we have been given by God. “Who [indeed] is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”

Only by this declaration, demonstration and determination to give our all to Christ’s Redemption do we truly win anything in life that’s worth calling the Prize of Truth. No matter how we say Salvation; Redemption, Redeemed, Rescue, or Recovery we obtain Eternal Life from the belief we are Reborn by proclaiming Jesus is LORD, admitting our sins and repenting from sinning again. He is the Source of all things and to ignore His Truth destroys the foundation you have to be One with the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost of Love.

Jesus too can make you clean not by a wish as the Leper had asked for but by knowing and trusting God’s Truth to employ you to live in practice, prayer and proclamation. He too will say to you, “I do will it. Be made clean” by your testimony of devotion living His promise of love. Jesus will not return your request to be made clean by some sort of fantasy wish but by instilling in you the necessary motivation to live loving His Word serving His People in true charity sharing His Salvation of Sin Forgiveness. We must live in His Will not wishing for Eternal Life but wanting His Truth to guide our soul. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we live the testimony of loving Your Son Jesus Christ. Praying for SC Emmaus. Praying for Kairos Prison Ministry.  Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Thank You Jesus for Your Will to make us clean. Happy 76^th Birthday to my dad Thomas Earl Wiggins. Please pray for and say the name Greg Bishop often. In Jesus Name we Eternally pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Romans 8:28

Father’s Love took Him to pray silent sounds- Luke 5:12-16

Jesus walked along a town

A man full of leprosy was around

He saw Jesus falling prostrate on the ground

Pleading for a wish to cleanse him down

Jesus stretched out his hand without a frown

Curing his wounds with minimal sound

Willing His Truth to curing this noun

Immediately leaving was the leprosy to astound

Ordering silence amongst the crowd

Jesus ordered the man to his priest now

Completing the prescribed Moses loud

Jesus’ report spread to all the towns

Curing ailments and preaching Heaven’s bound

Father’s Love took Him to pray silent sounds

Wig’s Word of God Today 1-10-2013

What God creates He sustains by the produced respect, result and reverence of God Truth.

Whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith. First John 5:4

Jesus returned to Galilee in the Power of the Spirit. Luke 4:14

First John 4:19–5:4, Psalm 72 & Luke 4:14-22

How do you bring about God in your life each and every moment of every day? Can you say with confidence God is every thought, action and deed? When you are “begotten by God” you are confidently effected by the practice you place in your Bible study daily often referring to the Word of God to bring a smile to your face, conquer a desire of ungodly thoughts or be the led by the Spirit to live God’s Will. What God creates He sustains by the produced respect, result and reverence of God Truth. Period.

We must make God’s Word a part of our daily lives to live in the Power of the Spirit just as Christ did when He began the beginning of the Galilean Ministry. Jesus has just overcome 40 days in the desert engaged in Satan’s temptations refuting, refining and reassuring the Evil One He was the Son of God Who “Begotten not made One in Being with the Father” to shoulder the sin of the world. Yes, the same sin we avoid today to love God’s amazing heart felt life of Truth.

About six years ago I recognized His Truth as the only Way I can live my life accepting my calling to Teaching God’s Children by sharing my practice, prayer and preaching with the world. I have undertaken many Godly challenges in this time absolutely loving the Word that many only hear on Sundays. Some of you may enjoy Lectoring on Sundays and the love of God’s Word is first and foremost the requirement to being a part of the Mass. Last night my Brother in Christ Richard shared something I think we all seem to forget: The Word is the same as the Host we are there to share in the Mass.

“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. What came to be through Him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:1-5

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we conquer the world by trusting in Your Word. We pray for St. Louis lectors ministry. Praying for SC Emmaus. Praying for Kairos Prison Minstry.  Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Thank You Jesus for the grace you bestow in the lives of those who believe in You! In Jesus Name. Amen.

Romans 8:28

The Love of God conquering the world by faith– First John 4:19–5:4

We are all beloved in God’s grace

For He first loved the human race

He made us in His image to relate

Not loving your brother is lying hate

You can’t say I love God in fate

If you hate the brother you state

A liar in your heart you make

You cannot love God in your mistake

His Commandment is easy to relate

Nothing to hide or love to abate

In Christ we obey Commandments begotten to taste

Are you living the fear of punishment by your instant indulgence?

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment, and so one who fears is not yet perfect in love. First John 4:18

They had not understood the incident of the loaves. On the contrary, their hearts were hardened. Mark 6:52

First John 4:11-18, Psalm 72 & Mark 6:45-52

I’ve been adjusting lately to the fact that I have reached this amazing milestone of being a 50-year-old man in love with Jesus Christ who has been reflecting on the fear John speaks of in our Study today. I can remember so vividly the feeling of being punished by my actions of excess laziness, lingering and lust that my body tingles with temptation driving me to call out “My LORD and My God” to push away the ugly feeling of fear. We all have been afraid of losing our lives because we sought sin openly or discreet knowing each step we took would rob our Eternal Life for the flash and flair of the external life.

We all have lived the life where gratification comes from self-worth instead of self-denial denying homage to our LORD and Savior instead living the fear of punishment by our instant indulgence allowing Satan to steal our heart’s desire. Just like the Disciples on the boat we are frightened by Jesus walking on the water as we grow by our surroundings of trust or lust in which we either deny or comprehend the revelatory character of Christ’s sign’s revealing His Divine Salvation offered to the world. I pray each of us harden not our hearts but embellish Christ’s Truth in our souls by our faith, hope and love of practice, prayer and preaching. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we never fear Love knowing always Love is You to accomplish Good Will. Happy Birthday prayers to my son Jeffrey-Steven Robin Wiggins who turns 14 today. Praying for Greg Bishop’s strength in Christ. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. I rejoice in You LORD! In Jesus Name. Amen.

Romans 8:28

Fearing only from no perfection yet– First John 4:11-18

If God does love His people

Love one another not being feeble

Nothing seen of Him in a Steeple

Sinners fit not through the Eye of a Needle

Yet we find God in each of us

Living our life in a fuss

Perfection is God’s must

Love we always trust

We know we remain in Him

Obviously by not committing sin

Leaning on the Spirit of Truth within

Father’s Son is humanity’s Salvation from sin

Acknowledge the Christ

Your life will be right

No fear in punishment’s fight

Only God’s Truth our delight

For He is Love to remain in depth

Perfection in us by our God-fearing respect

Love so perfected any fear’s regret

Fearing only from no perfection yet

Love should be capitalized at all times for Love is God.

In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins. First John 4:10

They all ate and were satisfied. Mark 6:42

First John 4:7-10, Psalm 72 & Mark 6:34-44

Sometimes we seem to forget that we serve a God of love guiding our pains, panics and problems to overcome the slightest worry by trusting His Love. I think the world has used the word love without recognizing it should be capitalized at all times for Love is God Who “loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins” allowing us to live in His Love completely in each thought, step and desire we live.

Here we find the ability to become “satisfied” as Christians by the New Birth of living in His Son’s Truth. Many will ask why your smile is different or the twinkle in your eyes seems to encourage others to ask how God and Jesus Christ has impacted your life. Many will want what you have in Christ but few have the capable courage to conquer sin. You and I must be steadfast in sharing Christ’s Salvation of love He gives completely of Himself by simply saying “I believe.” Amen.

I have begun the process of placing my work for God in voice and picture so you may soon be able to see and hear the “Cruz†Wiggins” behind God’s poetry. Please pray for me as I begin a new chapter of sharing God’s Truth of His Son Jesus Christ in voice and picture. We place “God First” to live in His Will of faith, hope and love knowing His Son’s Salvation is the only Way to live for God and God alone. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we embrace the Love you have for us in every aspect of our lives. Praying for Greg Bishop’s strength in Christ. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Please LORD guide us to love more. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Expiating our sins of lustful fun– First John 4:7-10

Loving one another’s faults

To live in God’s hug

No love in side?

The heart of God confide

Nowhere to sneakfully hide?

God is love we can’t deny

He will remain with you in all situations giving you peace by His Truth first-hand.

Those who keep His Commandments remain in Him, and He in them, and the way we know that He remains in us is from the Spirit that He gave us. First John 3:24

First John 3:19–4:6, Psalm 2 & Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25

Ok, raise your hands if you sometimes let your feelings get in the way of obvious loving choices because the heat of the moment carried you too far since you lost faith in God to delivering His own judgment. The Bible teaches us that living a life of faith, hope and love in Jesus guarantees us of abiding in God regardless of how overly passionate we become in the heat of the moment. We must be obedient in practice, prayer and preaching to trust God’s judgment with everything our lives have to offer. This type of obedience does take time to develop but I can attest that it strengthens by living His faith, sharing His hope and becoming His love to reassure each of us in His Everlasting Salvation.

Overcome the condemnation our hearts feel to seek excess instead of God by reminding ourselves God is Greater than our hearts desire by the strength we can and do celebrate in Him. Each and every one of us can feel the Spirit “that He gave us” by calling out to Him often during the day. Be not afraid to say the Name of Jesus habitually in a constant communion with His Will. Mistakes will be made but He will remain with you in all situations giving you peace by His Truth first-hand. The Voice of Truth is undeniable, unexplainable and unquestionable embraced by living Christ’s habits of “God First” to accomplish living His Commandments. Amen.

“This is how we shall know that we belong to the Truth and reassure our hearts before Him in whatever our hearts condemn, for God is greater than our hearts and knows everything. Beloved, if [our] hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God and receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His Commandments and do what pleases Him.” First John 19-22

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we feel Your Spirit Father in all we do. Praying for Greg Bishop’s tumor to shrink in his liver. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Please LORD help us to know You better. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

The Epiphany of Christ to every human being regardless of race or desire.

Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the newborn King of the Jews? We saw His Star at its rising and have come to do Him homage.” Matthew 2:1c-2

Isaiah 60:1-6, Psalm 72, Ephesians 3:2-3, 5-6 & Matthew 2:1-12

We celebrate the beauty of Christ’s birth today in what tradition calls the “Epiphany”  described in our reading today as the arrival of the Magi “from the east” “to do Him homage.”  Today also represents the last day of the Twelve Days of Christmas we’ve been praying for these last two weeks instilling in our hearts the beauty of God coming to be with His people. What many of you may not know is the “Magi” are not counted in the Bible as totaling three even though many cultures celebrate wonderful traditions represented by the “Three Kings” or “Three Wise Men” deepening the mystery we embrace to live in His Salvation. Today we can have our own Epiphany each and every day by loving His Word guided practice to instill prayer unafraid to preach in silence or aloud the Gospel His love fashioned as the manifestation of Christ to every human being regardless of race or desire.

We can celebrate one revelation after another by soaking the Truth into our souls cleansing our hearts of unwanted memories, moments and motivations that keep us totally from Christ’s unending love. People will have their own Epiphany’s from your love of Christ too celebrating with you a resounding breath of fresh air we all take to establish and maintain God’s Courage of His Son Jesus Christ. I just had another Epiphany, did you? Yesterday I finished presenting the Book of genesis in poetry I worked on for about 50 days or more. I’ll be moving into Exodus now continuing my Spirit-led rhymes of God’s love hoping I can bring a smile of God’s love to your heart and a desire to give ourselves completely to His Will. I believe in my heart this is a moment-by-moment Epiphany if you submit yourself to practice, prayer and preaching. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray day 12 of our 12 Days of Christmas giving thanks the Maji went home a different route. Praying for Greg Bishop’s tumor to shrink in his liver. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Carolina prayers for March. Prayers of thanksgiving for Tommy Leong. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

No mention of the least

Only telling the vision complete

To King Herod the baby killer feat

Described as Magi of unknown seats

Royal or rough who’d know to speak?

Herod asked for the location to keep

On their way they followed the star to repeat

A Morning Star’s Epiphany from afar to greet

It was still in place upon leaving Herod’s bleak

They found Him in a house paying homage at His feet

Deed and Truth serves as the union we have with God’s Will.

If someone who has worldly means sees a brother in need and refuses him compassion, how can the love of God remain in him? Children, let us love not in word or speech but in Deed and Truth. First John 3:17-18

First John 3:11-21, Psalm 100 &  John 1:43-51

We search for reasons, rights and ramifications of our passion in life to become “worldly” seeking God knows what of ungodly things ruining the spiritual union we have with God to live in godly ways. Look around you: Do you see what I mean? Are you connected to God in daily or even moment-by-moment tasks? Truly, I believe to live in Deed and Truth we must occupy our passions with Godly decisions sharing His Redemption by the sweat of our brow or the silence of our life’s Honesty. The love of Deed combined with the love of Truth serves as the union we have with God’s Will.

Oh sure, God will and does love you sitting on that couch or computer table doing God knows what. A line in a song of Leeland comes to mind: “What are you doing when no one is watching?” The love of God remains in us by what we do for God not what we are for God. He’ll love you either way but God calls us from our shells to be an active witness for His Truth. His Truth means way more than just a good read, it is a Way of life studied and revered accomplishing a bond God seeks with every child, woman and man living compassion established by Christ to know.

I encourage here in brevity a love of God to act upon with passion to “love not in word or speech but in Deed and Truth.” I once heard a pastor say we can equal our sins by the charity we provide. Somewhere here in charity God sends His Spirit of Truth to find a love Unequaled and Divine creating our own passion to provide God’s strength in any and all charity one may be called to accomplish. I created a ministry called “Trunk of Comfort” finding a love of Deed and Truth to share with the homeless communities of South Florida. I pray one day you can see the eyes of those less fortunate when they open their arms to take a new pair of shoes or pair of clean pants from you. You too will know you have loved “not in word or speech but in Deed and Truth.” Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray day 11 of our 12 Days of Christmas giving thanks God commands us to live in Deed and Truth. Praying for Greg Bishop’s tumor to shrink in his liver. Praying for Angel Diaz’s mom and dad. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Carolina prayers for March.  In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

For El Shaddai blesses his gaze– Genesis 48-50

My faith has been hurt

Daily has been late

I push on in Genesis forty-eight

Jacob turned Israel meets Joseph’s boys

Joseph brings them to him as close as a nose

Jacob adopts them blessing them as his own

While giving the younger the go ahead throne

Joseph contests for the oldest indeed

Jacob said he will be greater indeed

Joseph backs down as his child indeed

Ephraim was blessed the leader indeed

Jacob draws his children near

He gives them his testament so dear

Each were praised or defaced

Each one accepting their father’s embrace

He gave Joseph the highest praise

As a man of God to eternally graze

For El Shaddai blesses his gaze

The Tribes of Israel highest paid

Jacob continued giving his final plans

My breath will soon be no more where I stand

Bury me with my kin in the cave of Ephron

Finishing his words he drew his last breath fan

Concluding Genesis with one more than forty nine

Sadness felt as even Joseph also finds

He forgave his brothers one last time

He died at one hundred ten smiling in kind

The entire Bible continues in rhymes

Each book set since the beginning of time

God calls us to be righteous to establish and maintain a communion with Him.

Children, let no one deceive you. The person who acts in righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous. First John 3:7

First John 3:7-10, Psalm 98 & John 1:35-42

Today we continue our thoughts on what it means to be righteous. John explains that a habitual sinner is a child of the devil while a Child of God is defined as being in fellowship with God and therefore cannot sin. For years and years I would shy away from people who seemed to have one thing on their mind and that was saying yes to Jesus. I never took the time to understand why being righteous was better than being a sinner. The whole Eternal Life thing didn’t sink in as much as being forgiven of my sins didn’t sink in either. I would rather cross the street than to talk to friends I knew who were going to church but I’d especially lose touch with people who went to weekly Bible study.

These people loved to talk about Christ’s Gospel which of course speaks of love and forgiveness loving thy neighbor as thyself. Oh yeah, I wasn’t loving myself very good so how could I love my neighbor? As God calls us to be righteous to establish and maintain a communion with Him keeping us from sinning as much as it established a desire to share the Good News led by the Spirit’s ignition.  You will no longer cross the street or avoid the Good News but live in God’s Word daily to find His Will more purposeful than that of destroying moral obligations. “In this way, the Children of God and the children of the devil are made plain; no one who fails to act in righteousness belongs to God, nor anyone who does not love his brother.” Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray day 10 of our 12 Days of Christmas giving thanks God commands his faithful to live righteous. Prayer of healing for Greg B. beginning his journey in Texas to be healed. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Carolina prayers for March. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

No one was left to worry Pharaoh’s nest– Genesis 46 & 47

Jacob leaves for Egypt as God contended

His ride with his family was surely splendid

The Pharaohs wagons and all his staff

Jacob turned Israel enjoys his sorrow turned laugh

Pharaoh had a visit from Joseph to give

The father’s arrival with brothers he did

The land of Goshen under his majesty’s rein

They may dwell there and tend my cattle the same

Another version lays tale to an arrival estranged

Pharaoh tells Joseph his people have came

The Country of Egypt is theirs without blame

Joseph made sure all were treated the same

Joseph used his position well

He fought to make Pharaoh’s undeniable wealth

All would give their animals too

Ultimately leaving just land to pursue

The famine was great both far and wide

Joseph knew how to handle the foods low tide

He traded their land for seed for crops

His agrarian policy gave Pharaoh the mop

To soak up each family’s historical wealth

No one was left to worry Pharaoh’s nest

Joseph had dealt with his kingdom like heaven

His father meanwhile lived to one hundred forty-seven

As Israel who was Jacob became old and thin

His son Joseph made sure his promise would be given

God’s purity of Truth has been stolen by the loss of sharing the Word of God.

Everyone who has this hope based on Him makes himself pure, as He is pure. First John 3:3

First John 2:29–3:6, Psalm 98 &  John 1:29-34

It is so important to create dialogue about the desire to be pure for God with people who have turned a blind eye to Truth when it comes to moral issues of choice including abortion and staying pure until wedlock. While I know there are many more moral/ ethical issues to discuss, I see something important to consider in purity for all decisions as guided by Scripture in First John today. There used be a day when a 15-year-old or younger girl would be given away in marriage as my mom was to lessen the burden I was told on my widowed grandmother in the late 1950’s. What seemed to lessen the burden in my eyes opened the door to more responsibility and thus creating undue burden that would one day shift to a “baby boomer” generation.

The generation craving instant gratification I myself was raised in opened the door to self-exploration that has taken innocence out humanity’s heartbeat replacing it with the thrill of flesh and desires of the heart contrary to God’s Divine Plan. We no longer want to be pure for God desiring instead enantiomeric excess of self. We want to measure out life’s experiences without any moral obligations to the results opting instead to greeting it numerous times before accepting God’s faith, hope and love of purity. What you gave away as a young person you seem to want to now hold on to righting the wrong we lived ungodly when we opened the door for any desires of the heart.

God’s purity of Truth has been stolen by the loss of sharing the Word of God across all plains of mankind. We have driven ourselves to the point of a paradigm shift in humanity that we must practice, pray and proclaim to right the wrong secular desires of the heart have pilfered by the flash and flair of impure desires, determinations and desperations to fulfill too much too soon too whipped wrong moon. We want to go to mars in an instant without learning what a pure state of mind it takes to build a spaceship to make it to all planets of purity. It is God’s desire for us to be pure as He is pure to accomplish life, liberty and love. “Everyone who has this hope based on Him makes himself pure, as He is pure.” Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray day 9 of our 12 Days of Christmas giving thanks God wants us to be pure as He is pure. Prayer of healing for Greg B. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Carolina prayers for March. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

The LORD will bring back my father’s will– Genesis 43-45

The famine grew worse so Jacob finally agrees

To send Benjamin for food again in Egypt to relieve

The hunger that will kill their will he believes

The family of boys he desires to eternally breed

They arrived before Joseph with Benjamin in tow

Gladly received a banquet he would hurriedly throw

Joseph wept in the midst of his brothers he loved so

Not a one recognized Joseph as the brother they had sold

Joseph sent them fully packed and on their way

Placing a silver cup in the youngest to pay

With his life as a slave for thieving his trade

Until Judah intercedes and saves the day

Joseph had enough and became known

His crying reached the Egyptians to show

Pharaoh who proved to have a heart of gold

Offering them to bring dad back for land to sow

Joseph reminded the brothers to fill

An apostolic witness by living righteous my relationship in Christ.

If you consider that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who acts in righteousness is begotten by Him. First John 2:29

Make straight the way of the LORD. John 1:23b

First John 2:22-29, Psalm 98 & John 1:19-28

We find the hardest thing to do in life is to truly acknowledge Christ in everything we do living as a person confident at His judgment that is based on the daily assurance of Salvation reflecting our true relationship with Him living “in righteousness” “begotten by Him.” People who live this way always seemed to push me away because I was unwilling to “let go and let God” be God finding instead selfish desires of the heart stealing my talent, time and treasure wishing life away void of righteous prayer.

Sure, I’d have to say I didn’t even know what the word righteous meant for I equated this term to someone being a Jesus Freak void of personality, pride or purpose. What we have to learn to do is to live in dialogue not debate being human and humble living in Christ not out. I must admit I have struggled with this for the confidence of God I have obtained has been so righteous in fact I have pushed away people I thought celebrated the same desire of Christ’s union as I have yet have lacked the ability to solidify the deal.

If living righteous for God means living God’s Truth in practice, prayer and preaching, then I am guilty as charged as I cannot deny the Son for I know in Him the Father is being fully revealed leading me to Salvation of the sins I have committed. I will continue my apostolic witness by living my relationship in Christ making every action I live righteous to find my path “straight the way of the LORD.” Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray day 9 of our 12 Days of Christmas giving thanks that He is righteous encouraging us to be righteous too. Prayer of healing for Greg B. Travel prayers for my brother Chris to NY. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Joseph met his brothers to grill

What is your business spies to thrill

No sir we are not spies came the cry

We are hungry and seeking for food to try

Without food our family will surely die

Spies you are and seeing they forgot

I’m giving you one title shot

Where is the youngest if you say they are 12?

At home with father the brothers did delve

Thrown into jail for three days to see

If their love for life has a future to be

One will stay to remove the stall
