LORD, take note of their threats and help Your servants to proclaim Your message with all fearlessness, by stretching out Your hand to heal and to work miracles and marvels through the Name of Your Holy Servant Jesus. Acts 4:29-30

 

In all truth I tell you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born through water and the Spirit; what is born of human nature is human; what is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:5-6

 

Acts 4:23-31, Psalm 2 & John 3:1-8

 

Please note that the Bible has several different areas where you can read how the Disciples called out to the LORD in prayer just as we do today to overcome the people who mutter selfish threats at your love and charity of people in need. We see it here today in Acts 4 where they call out to the LORD after being released from prison. “Help Your servants to proclaim Your message with all fearlessness- through the Name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.”

 

It seems a bit crazy to me that the love God has for humanity would be considered a threat to people of secular belief or that the work of people of faith to convert souls and save sinners from a life of eternal torment would be considered wrong. We must all stay focused on the task at hand by practice, prayer and preaching to guide the lost back to Kingdom of God through Baptism and the Spirit.

 

The work of Truth from above must begin in a cleansing action of water then submersed so to speak in the Spirit of God’s Word. Find the Truth in His Spirit to guide you to share the amazing feeling of being saved by Christ’s Redeeming Death on a Cross. Today more than ever our world is in need of His Transforming Peace. Pick up your Bible daily and practice to know His Truth. Pray for the conversion of souls and everything you do in His Precious Name. Proclaim to the lost the Good News of Salvation. Together we can bring God back to the forefront of the lost and confused. Amen.

 

Dear God of all kingdoms, we pray You LORD make us fearless in the eyes of the lost and confused. We seek Your guidance LORD in practice, prayer and deed. We pray LORD all petitions are gathered to make the ballot. We pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Romans 8:28

Spirit led God inspired Christ fed

 

Everyone born in the Spirit will Eternally be Free- John 3:1-8

 

A Pharisee named Nicodemus came to see

If Jesus would share His Power with he

Teacher we know God is with You to be

For the signs of wonder would never agree

 

Jesus replied with an amen to know

The Kingdom of God you cannot go

Unless you are born of again in water to sow

Where the Spirit of Truth anoints your show

 

How can a man be born again?

He cannot reenter his mother’s womb in sin

How can this be to given new life?

We are all the same even to spite.

 

An amen of Truth came down on Me

To find cleansing in water to eagerly see

A new life born again in Spirit to be

Born from above to abide in He

 

Everyone born in the Spirit will Eternally be Free

This is what the love of God is: keeping His Commandments. Nor are His Commandments burdensome, because every child of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith. First John 5:3-4

Wig’s Word of God Today 4-15-2012

 

This is what the love of God is: keeping His Commandments. Nor are His Commandments burdensome, because every child of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith. First John 5:3-4

 

You believe because you can see me. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. John 20:29

 

Acts 4:32-35, Psalm 118, First John 5:1-6 & John 20:19-31

 

The canvas is blank but do I see nothing when I think of God? In the lucid white of any canvas whether it is a blank white screen awaiting the thoughts sent through fingers on a keyboard or a blank white surface awaiting the colors of a brush applied by a hand, God dwells in every connected digital drop of the display to every piece of fibered material anticipating the blush from a dye from some far away berry. He is there guiding you to following His Commandments in the midst of every other confusion the world and evil has distracted you with too. He will guide you by an evident grace you will feel in the midst of any sin by just taking the thoughts of His Word to action.

 

Can there be any excuses or justification for not following the Word of God- not following His Commandments? Can we say: Sometimes there has to be exceptions? Say for instance you are told your child will have Downs Syndrome and you ponder exterminating the child because you don’t won’t the child to bear a life of some form of retardation. Is it your call you not experience the life God has intended for you in the child He gives you? Or, Do you want to selfishly rid yourself of the conceived burden your mind plays out of how difficult a life with a child of imperfection will be? We must all recognize that God doesn’t make mistakes and His Will dictates your growth in His faith, hope and love.

 

In any child God creates, you will find a beauty that will impact your soul with joy, pain and confusion seeking the faith, hope and love of God’s blessing. Don’t create a reason to kill when God has created a reason for you to love. The blessing of any child will transform you to live by God’s Decrees. There will be a smile God has blessed you with that will light up your heart living to share God’s Only Son with them in everything you do. There will be challenges and rewards beyond your wildest imagination but His blessings will outweigh any sorrow you ever encounter. We must allow God to be God and seek His Perfection ruling out ANY exception. We must overcome the world by faith in what we see and can’t see. Amen.

 

Dear LORD, we pray to be a Child of God to overcome the world by faith. We seek Your guidance LORD in practice, prayer and deed. We pray LORD all petitions are gathered to make the ballot. We pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

The Spirit is Truth filled with God’s Grace- First John 5:1-6

 

Are you begotten by God?

Do you believe in His Son?

If you love His Veracity

The love of His Father is won

 

Love exudes for the Child of God

The love you feel in the Spirit of love

A love of obeying His Decrees we keep

Not burdensome living but allowing us to reap

 

To conquer the world of confusion and sin

A faith so strong shielding a hurricane’s wind

Riding on the tails of Redemption’s blend

Acknowledging Christ Eternal Life to win

 

By Food, Water and Blood to taste

Jesus Redeemed the human race

Testified in the Spirit we eagerly face

The Spirit is Truth filled with God’s Grace

You must judge whether in God’s eyes it is right to listen to you and not to God. We cannot stop proclaiming what we have seen and heard. Acts 4:19a-20

Wig’s Word of God Today 4-14-2012

 

You must judge whether in God’s eyes it is right to listen to you and not to God. We cannot stop proclaiming what we have seen and heard. Acts 4:19a-20

 

Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Gospel to all creation. Mark 16:15

 

Acts 4:13-21, Psalm 118 & Mark 16:9-15

 

It’s hard to deny something that burns in your heart with such fervent love more so I believe when it comes to the love of Jesus Christ. When you finally fall in love with Christ, your body tingles often and your mind ponders His words of love singing to total strangers or helping the elderly in need. I saw His love burning in the heart of a mother picking her child up from school as she sang Gospel music through her open minivan window.

 

As I walked by I said, “it’s so nice to hear you singing your love of Jesus with your kids in the car. My prayers are with you to living for Jesus with joy. God Bless you.” I hope we acknowledge people of faith as an outward symbol of our unity of striving to live by His Word. To listen to God is to listen to His Word. To sing to God is to surrender your world. To pray to God establishes faith. To proclaim for God releases any hate. Amen.

 

Today I hope to share this love of His Truth with my brothers and sisters in Christ during the Christian Family Coalition 2012 Welcome Back from Tallahassee Breakfast. I know in my heart that it is so imperative to bring our love of Christ together for the unity of His Truth in sharing faith, charity and love. Moreover, the common man and woman of God’s Creation must bond together to eliminate oppressive legislation that attempts to steal our basic Christian values. We follow Jesus guided by the church. Christ left His Church on the Rock of Peter to become unified in His Name. God please help us to be a people of faith.

 

Dear God, we pray we never stop proclaiming Your Son’s Truth. We seek Your guidance LORD in practice, prayer and deed. We pray today that everyone allow Your Spirit to lead him or her in everything they say. We pray for my children. We pray my sister has a happy birthday and safe travels today home to Miami. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Romans 8:28

Spirit led God inspired Christ fed

 

God’s Will released them to Proclaim the Good News- Acts 4:13-21

 

To proclaim with boldness of Peter and John

To find the love of Jesus light as a feather heavy as a ton

They perceived them uneducated just ordinary men

They became amazed when the Spirit led from within

 

Then they stared at the crippled who was totally healed

By the Name above all names that God revealed

Ordering them to leave so they can confer

They all realized it’s hard to deny what’s seen walking in the dirt

 

How these men in Christ’s Name healed this man

One who once sat now can run and fearlessly stand

We will call them back and tell them to cease

They give an explanation to try and keep peace

 

But no one can deny the remarkable feat

Accomplished in the Name of Jesus to seek

When called back to face their demands

Ordering the men to stop teaching or be banned

 

Cease using the Name of Jesus to speak and deny

Your God came the order from the priests who pry

Peter and John knew this would be living a lie

Choosing to fight for what is right in the Truth of Christ’s eye

 

Peter said you can think what you wish

Whether we listen to you or obey God’s niche

Impossible the feat of talking not about His Truth

God’s Will released them to Proclaim the Good News

Jesus called out, ‘Haven’t you caught anything, friends?’ And when they answered, ‘No,’ He said, ‘Throw the net out to starboard and you’ll find something.’ So they threw the net out and could not haul it in because of the quantity of fish. John 21:5-6

Wig’s Word of God Today 4-13-2012

 

This is the Stone, which you, the builders, rejected but which has become the Cornerstone. Only in Him is there Salvation; for of all the names in the world given to men, this is the only one by which we can be saved. Acts 4:11-12

 

Jesus called out, ‘Haven’t you caught anything, friends?’ And when they answered, ‘No,’ He said, ‘Throw the net out to starboard and you’ll find something.’ So they threw the net out and could not haul it in because of the quantity of fish. John 21:5-6

 

Acts 4:1-12, Psalm 118 & John 21:1-14

 

Peter comes to know the Power of the Holy Spirit and what it can do for your confidence, ability and belief utilizing his new found desires to address anyone and everyone including the Pharisees and Scribes that they are the ones who killed the person in which they do everything in the healing of the crippled. “Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, addressed them, ‘Rulers of the people, and elders! If you are questioning us today about an act of kindness to a cripple and asking us how he was healed, you must know, all of you, and the whole people of Israel, that it is by the Name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you Crucified, and God raised from the dead, by this Name and by no other that this man stands before you cured.” Acts 4:8-10

 

Many of us have felt the Power of the Holy Spirit when we address others about our surrender to a life of Christ. The joy of feeling the Spirit of God direct your thoughts, actions and deeds is a feeling that is overwhelmingly amazing driving you to do more and more for the LORD in every way just to share the Salvation of His Son Christ Jesus. Use the Spirit’s enlightenment to give you courage, confidence and ability to talk to strangers in a restaurant or to a group of homeless people gathered in a park.

 

This guidance given to you by the Holy Spirit is just as much a protector as He is the poise you will garnish in surrendering your life to Christ’s Way of loving humanity. It’s the same feeling you’ll get when you seek to live in faith, charity and love that will find you the “big” fishes in the sea of sin that need Jesus the most. It’s when you follow your own desires that the fish and accomplishments of your life will feel small in comparison to the happiness, desire and conviction you’ll experience when your nets are used for the love of Jesus Christ. Amen.

 

Dear Heavenly King, we pray to never reject the Cornerstone of Humanity and to always lift up Your Son in the Spirit you have given us to relish in confidence, ability and belief . We praise You and thank You for Your Spirit of Truth. We pray today Your Spirit leads me in everything I speak. We pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Fishing with Jesus is Redemption’s Friend- John 21:1-14

 

The Disciples had returned to their love of fishing

When Jesus presented Himself a third time at the sea

The life long journey before Christ was shaky

Now the world would be the catch to agree

 

So at least seven of the men got in a boat

Staying all night without a single fish feat

When morning arrived a man stood by the shore yelling

Caught any fish friends to bring ashore and eat?

 

Nothing came their reply hurried and weak

Cast your nets to the right and find some fish to greet

So they cast it over and tried to haul in the piece

Of a net so full of fish standing hem up in their seats

 

The Jesus said to Peter It is I the LORD to meet

Peter couldn’t hold his desire as He jumped in the water to seek

The Risen LORD was on the shore with a fire

Cooking and preparing some fish to eat

 

Peter then went back to help drag the net ashore

Not breaking one line of net to worry

One hundred fifty three big fish they caught

Fish were the biggest to scurry as the Savior began to talk

 

Come have some breakfast with Me

His time was limited to Ascend

Eating bread and fish as need

Being the third time He reveled Himself to them

 

Fishing with Jesus is Redemption’s Friend

He (Jesus) opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. Luke 24:45

Wig’s Word of God Today 4-11-2012

 

Now you must repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, and so that the LORD may send the time of comfort. Then He will send you the Christ He has Predestined, that is Jesus, Whom heaven must keep till the Universal Restoration comes which God proclaimed, speaking through His holy prophets. Acts 3:19-21

 

‘This is what I meant when I said, while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, in the Prophets and in the Psalms, was destined to be fulfilled.’ He then opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and He said to them, ‘So it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that, in His Name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses to this. Luke 24:44-48

 

Acts 3:11-26, Psalm 8 & Luke 24:35-48

 

Peter and John had just asked in the Name of Jesus Christ to heal a man who was begging for he was crippled since birth and had no other way of surviving except to beg as they said to him, “I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you: in the Name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, [rise and] walk.” Then Peter took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles grew strong. He leaped up, stood, and walked around, and went into the temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God.” Acts 3:6-8

 

As the crowd grew in the Temple area, they became amazed at what the Disciples had done by healing the man. Peter though became perturbed and filled with the Holy Spirit addressed them saying it wasn’t he who healed the man but it was the One who they had Crucified Who had to die for the sins of all humanity. He explained to them the need to repent and turn to the LORD to find true peace in the time of comfort. It is the exact peace and time of comfort you receive today when you earnestly repent and surrender your life to knowing the Truth in Jesus Christ.

 

Once you begin to find Christ in all you do, you find even in your Scripture reading things God will open up to you through the Holy Spirit that will enlighten you and fulfill your Will of God’s Predestined Plan for you. I find this everyday when I listen intently to His Spirit in my heart when I read the Bible in the early hours of each day. I have begun to understand why God brought His Only Son to live and die for you and me. I have felt the call of God to share every Spirit led thought I write in word and in poetry to fulfill the Will of God in my life lifting many of you to new heights of understanding how “He then opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.” Amen.

 

Dear LORD and God of all, we pray to listen to Your Spirit to understand the Scriptures so we too may be Disciples of Your Truth. Guide us LORD by Your Spirit to know Your Word to share Your Son’s Redemption. We pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Romans 8:28

What was written of Christ to die for all- Luke 24:35-48

 

The Disciples told the Emmaus journey

How they recognized Him in the Bread so early

Out of nowhere He stood in their midst

Peace is with you Christ began to admit

 

Scared and startled was their reply

Don’t be afraid it is Me you can’t deny

Don’t let your hearts be ever be denied

Touch Me and see it My tears I cry

 

My hands and My feet are here in the flesh

They were joyous knowing God made Christ pass the test

As Jesus said He was hungry asking for some fish

Eating and reclining taking in some rest

 

All words I spoke have now come true

From the Law of Moses to each Prophets due

Jesus opened the Scriptures to their hearts of few

Gaining understanding and wisdom relished anew

 

What was written of Christ to die for all

Rise and walk after death’s Crucifixion stall

Repenting and knowing forgiveness of sins

Preach to all the nations for Eternal Life to win

 

Each of you is my witnesses from beginning to end

Two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. Luke 2:13b

Wig’s Word of God Today 4-10-2012

 

Two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. Luke 2:13b

 

Their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. Luke 24:16

 

Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer before entering into His glory? Luke 24:26

 

Acts 3:1-10, Psalm 105 & Luke 24:13-35

 

If you have ever been on an Emmaus Retreat, you will indentify with today’s message from Luke that describes the “Walk to Emmaus” by two Disciples who were on their way home from Jerusalem after the death and reported rising of Christ. Many of you like me have probably walked the road to Emmaus many times since your weekend asking the LORD this or that seeking the sign you require to fulfill your complete surrender to God and His Son’s Way of faith, charity and love of your fellow man.

 

God instilled in you His grace to complete the weekend and therefore you are living proof of His beckoning of you to become a surrendered follower of His Son’s Truth. Now that you have begun your own walk to Emmaus, remember the Disciples were prevented from seeing Jesus in the beginning of their walk just as you will be prevented from seeing Him in your walk unless you open your heart to find Him in everything you do. What is separating you from your complete surrender to a Life of Christ?

 

When He opens your eyes in the Scriptures, He will in turn open your heart to His face in the people you encounter daily as the sharer of His Gospel to help people find His Redemption and life of complete trust, devotion and commitment to live a life in His care. During this journey, you will begin to find how necessary it was for Jesus to suffer for the sins of humanity and by your practice of reading your Bible daily; you too will live a devotional life of prayer to embrace His calling of proclamation as a natural part of living for His Truth. Amen.

 

Dear God, we pray to recognize Jesus in our won walk to Emmaus by a life of practice, prayer and preaching. Teach us LORD to live by Your Decrees in every step we take. We pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Romans 8:28

Spirit led God inspired Christ fed

 

Jesus Christ is Risen He is Risen Indeed to Save us- Luke 24:13-35

 

Two began their walk

To their home in Emmaus

Just living the talk

Of the Truth Christ had gave us

 

They were frightened by His death

They were amazed a man knew it not

When approached out of no where

As they walked along not in a trot

 

Eyes shadowed from seeing His face

He asked them what they talked about to state

Surprised He didn’t seem to know the facts

They asked are you the only one who seemed to lack

 

The knowledge of a Savior’s death

How He taught and preached with great respect

Mighty in deed and Word before God

The chief priests and rulers crucified His bod

 

They explained they thought He was the One

To redeem the world from selfishness and fun

The fun of sin is too much to take

He rebuked their own inability to state

 

How the Christ must suffer as the prophets relayed

Many years ago as the Christ did pay

For His glory was predestined by God to say

Jesus must die for the sins of the world’s dismay

 

Then this man relayed the prophet’s thoughts

Without missing a beat to discover the lot

When Emmaus came into sight their hearts were seared

By the Truth He spoke to eliminate their fears

 

They asked Him to stay for it was near night

He agreed and sat to have a bite

He took the bread and said His blessing

Their eyes were opened to the Christ in resting

 

As He appeared from nowhere as the man they walked with

Christ disappeared as quick as they humbly noted

Haven’t our hearts been burning within us?

He opened the Scriptures to know and to assure us

 

Returning to Jerusalem fast paced and gracious

To summon the Eleven to share the LORD’s graces

The LORD has been raised and appeared to Simon

They recounted the steps they took to Emmaus

 

Jesus Christ is Risen He is Risen Indeed to Save us

‘You must repent,’ Peter answered, ‘and every one of you must be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’ Acts 2:38

Wig’s Word of God Today 4-10-2012

 

‘You must repent,’ Peter answered, ‘and every one of you must be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’ Acts 2:38

 

‘I have seen the LORD,’ and that He had said these things to her. John 20:18b

 

Acts 2:36-41, Psalm 33 & John 20:11-18

 

Peter’s Speech at Pentecost brought about many things for the Disciples. First, they were received warmly by the crowd indicated in the response of Acts 2:37, “Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, “What are we to do, my brothers?” This reaction gave Peter more fuel to capture the second Purpose that motivated them being the Holy Spirit descending upon the apostles preparing them to proclaim the new covenant with its unique gift of the Spirit.

 

Stop and think about the first time you felt the Holy Spirit lift your thoughts, your words and your actions to accomplish what God has intended for you. Maybe it was talking to a stranger about Jesus in a McDonalds. Maybe you felt the Spirit lift you when you were giving your first Emmaus talk. Maybe the Spirit gave you the courage to stop and talk to a homeless man or woman who obviously needed your act of charity. Whatever the Sprit leads you to do, you must practice, pray and preach to give yourself a true preparation to deal with whomever the Spirit leads you to.

 

You will find the Face of Christ in the people placed in your paths of life to accomplish His Will by taking on the Three P’s of Christianity in a moment-by-moment circumstance of surrender. The appearance of Christ to Mary Magdalene signifies His love of her and His Trust she will carry out His request to relay His message to the Apostles. You too will see His face in the people you witness to.

 

This appearance only happens in the Gospel of John whereby John gives the explanation of why Jesus calls the Disciples His brothers. The Father of Jesus will now become the Father of the Disciples because Jesus can give them the Spirit once He Ascends that comes from the Father and they can be reborn as God’s children. “Go to My brothers and tell them, ‘I am going to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.” John 20:17. The Spirit of God dwells in each of us as a Guide of Surrender. We must give our all to God’s Purpose to find His Spirit’s directives in all we do. Amen.

 

Dear LORD, we pray to be fed by Your Spirit by our practice, prayer and preaching. Guide us by Your Spirit to give more and expect less. We pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Peering in to see the Truth

Two Angels asked why are you weeping

When the Christ rose as Proof

 

The Proof called to her for seeking

Him at the tomb He has already rose

Not seeing Him fully

He was disguised at first to know

 

Mary Jesus called in remembrance

Of her devotion to the Truth to show

She said Teacher as He said don’t’ hold on to Me

To the Father I must now be obliged to go

 

To your Father and My Father I will sit

To My God Your God I will commit

To the Spirit of Love descending

The Holy Spirit of Him to Wit

Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell My brothers that they must leave for Galilee; there they will see Me.’ Matthew 28:10

Wig’s Word of God Today 4-9-2012

 

Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell My brothers that they must leave for Galilee; there they will see Me.’ Matthew 28:10

 

Acts 2:14, 22-32, Psalm 16 & Matthew 28:8-15

 

The Disciples learn from the women that Jesus has spoken to them and He sends word to go to Galilee to see the Risen LORD and learn of the instructions God has intended for them to accomplish. In the world of Biblical Scholars they call this a “proleptic parousia,” which signifies a literary device of referring to a future event as if it had already occurred and, therefore, exists as a present condition; as such, it expresses anticipation and assurance regarding that future event.

 

The future event of the Disciples would entail them preaching the Gospel to all four corners of the earth. Today we must continue this confidence Jesus instilled in the Disciples on the mountain as true belief in His Universal Power to overcome sin and lead our world to a never-ending happiness of faith, hope and love. We must learn to Trust Christ with every aspect of our lives and living the assurance He gave to the world of believers that we will practice, pray and preach to find His Promise of Eternal Life in Heaven. Amen.

 

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

 

Dear God, we pray to live in Your Assurance of Everlasting Life Promised by Your Son’s Gospel. Guide us to serve you fully LORD by our life as true examples. We pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Two Mary’s found Christ’s Tomb empty

Fearful yet joyful He had Risen

Running to announce He was gone

Jesus approached them proving nothing was wrong

 

The girls went near and embraced His feet

Don’t be afraid came the comment to speak

As Jesus told them to tell the Disciples to meet

In Galilee I will meet them at the mountain’s peak

 

While the guards went and told how things went down

The chief priests jaws must have fell to the ground

Giving them money to quiet the discovery from their lips

The soldiers kept the change saying He was stolen really quick

The disciple running ahead of Peter proved something we all need to find when we begin celebrating Easter as the Day of Resurrection; the faces of Christ in a Risen LORD who are the poorest of the poor, sickest of the sick and the hungriest of the hungry. We must envision the Face of Christ on each of them as a proactive choice of charity not being afraid of human opinion but rectifying oneself to His Purpose for His Will.

 

The Redeemer of the world has Risen for hanging Him on a tree did not prohibit God’s Design of Forgiveness of sins- it fulfilled it. When they brought Him down from the tree, they brought down the sins of the world that has been laundered by the Blood of Jesus. Your sins, my sins, have been forever erased from God’s Own Heart giving us reason to live in His faith, His hope and His love.

 

God granted humanity its wish: showing Himself after His Risen fulfillment of all the Scriptures raising us up with Him in Glory before the Father. When “He is your Life- you, too, will be revealed with Him in glory.” Just as the Disciple, you too will see and believe Christ is in every dirty foot you see in an un-bathed hungry homeless man who is a brother, an uncle- a dad.

 

When you immerse yourself in the serving the poorest of the poor, then you begin to see the Good News in the hearts and souls of these desperate faces of humanity allowing you to understand the Scripture more fully. Most importantly, you begin to act for the Glory of God bringing you to see and believe in each frown, each frightful look and each desperate smile of a man or woman who needs your hug as much as they need your source of life in nourishment in food and the Word of God.

 

Today is the Day of Resurrection. Jesus Christ has Risen today, He has Risen indeed for you to know His forgiveness, for you to know His charity and to live in His love. Seek His Risen Face in the people who need Him most and live His Will for your life. The battle cry of Truth: Jesus Christ is Risen. He is Risen Indeed! Amen.

 

Dear Holy Father of all, we pray to see Your Risen Son in every person we share His charity with. We pray for a homeless man named Billy who cannot afford his medication and dialysis. We pray the world will always know Your Risen Son’s love and forgiveness this beautiful Easter Day. God Bless to my Co-Teacher Venecia Mackens on her birthday today. We pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

 

God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28

Spirit led God inspired Christ fed

 

Jesus Christ is Risen- He is Risen indeed!

 

On a tree with driven nails

Did our sins forever fail

As He was seen as Pristine

When He was Risen Baptized clean

 

You too are raised in Him

Now seeking what is above

As Christ reveals you to the Father

As He reveals you to His Eternal Love

 

Then you will see Him in everyone

Not a soul for you to overlook or shun

Seeing and believing in God’s Only Seed

For Jesus Christ is Risen- He is Risen indeed!

When they looked they saw that the stone — which was very big — had already been rolled back. ‘There is no need to be so amazed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was Crucified: He has Risen, He is not here. See, here is the place where they laid Him. Mark 16:4/6

Wig’s Word of God Today 4-7-2012

God set them in the vault of heaven to shine on the earth, to govern the day and the night and to divide light from darkness. God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:17-18

 

For the LORD’s Word is upright; all His works are Trustworthy. He loves justice and right. The earth is full of the mercy of the LORD. By the LORD’s Word the heavens were made; by the breath of His mouth all their Host. Psalm 33:4-6

 

When they looked they saw that the stone — which was very big — had already been rolled back. ‘There is no need to be so amazed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was Crucified: He has Risen, He is not here. See, here is the place where they laid Him. Mark 16:4/6

 

Genesis 1:1–2:2, Psalm 33, Genesis 22:1-18 & Mark 16:1-8

 

There is a deepness of the heavens we have not begun to see in the depths of God’s created human form that will instill trust, knowledge and surrender to forever live in harmony with one another for His Purpose. The “Goodness of God” divided the day and the night to accomplish work in faith of living in hope accomplishing His desires learned in His Word.

 

Genesis opens our eyes to see the brightness of the stars that shine in a galaxy man can only pursue in thought until our own depth of knowledge finds His True Calling for Mankind. In His Word, we find the guidance if you will of God’s perfect nature to live with amazing grace of faith, charity and love. We will find His Mercy as Psalm 33 describes with our love of His “right.”

 

We too have a very big stone to roll away from our souls to open up God’s Will in our life. There is a stone of unforgiveness that prohibits God’s full love to envelope your soul seemingly too heavy to be moved but is nothing when you push the Word of God up to it. There may be a stone of envy depriving your heart with unneeded anger that will roll away by the wind of a Bible’s page you turn daily to live in His love for all Eternity.

 

The Son of God rose from His tomb in a unified state of His Father and Spirit to wipe your sins clean and open the vault of heaven. How can you help roll the stone back and find that born again feeling for someone you encounter everyday? Will you share your practice? Will you pray with a stranger today? Will you proclaim the Good News?

 

Dear LORD, we pray to roll away our stone to find only Your Son’s Truth to guide us. Prayer of thanksgiving for the life and service of Lt. Col. Larry Finley. May he rest in peace. We pray for my children. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Romans 8:28

Spirit led God inspired Christ fed

 

Bones of My Bones Flesh of my Feet- Genesis 1-2

 

Genesis alone boldly smiles across the top

The beginning of Truth round the clock

Written describing the creation of the earth

A Vault separated Eternal Life and the dirt

 

God said let the Vault Eternally be

A separator of Heaven and the seas

Genesis One brought about the sun

Shinning at day nightfall to shun

 

Genesis one two completed six days

Time to rest as the seventh made its way

Holy on earth every Sabbath since

Heaven and earth will rest and relent

It’s really Saturday some people may vent

 

Yahweh God made the man as He

Formed in clay and blown in to be

Paradise about to nourish for free

Eden was home for free will to see

 

The birth of Eve amongst the fruit of the tree

A rib removed from Adam in God’s restful sleep

Bones of my bones flesh of my feet

No shame in nakedness of His Will to keep
