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 1-8-2011

We know that we belong to God, and the whole world is under the power of the evil one. 1 John 5:19

1 John 5:14-21, Psalm 149:1-2, 3-4, 5-6a and 9b & John 3:22-30

I think everyone can agree the world is under the power of the evil one by just looking around and observing the lack of respect taking place in every town across the world. The youth of today seems to have lost their way when it comes to being respectful to their elders. When I say elders, I am describing parents, grandparents, teachers and people of authority. I am describing people who are older and wiser by way of living the Word of God. I believe the Word of God is void in people’s homes destroying the perception our youth has regarding authority and therefore has led them astray. John warns humanity by using the word “children” to “be on your guard against idols.” These idols today come in many different forms but most would agree they driven by the Mass Media. We who believe in the Son of Man are afforded the opportunity through prayer to guide our society back to the Truth through the Word of God. Be diligent in your practice, your prayer and your proclamation to help show your love of loving Jesus is the only way to Truth in accomplishing the Will of God.
 
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, today we pray for the soul of Chris Santello who passed away recently. Lord, he was a good man full of love for Your Son. Welcome him in Your Eternal home of heaven. We pray today for safe travels of my dear friend John Lobo. May his work be touched by Your Divine Hands. I also pray for special intentions Lord for Your help and guidance. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,

Who (indeed) is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:5

Jesus stretched out His hand, touched him, and said, “I do will it. Be made clean.” And the leprosy left him immediately. Luke 5:13
 
1 John 5:5-13, Ps 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20 & Luke 5:12-16
 
Once again, John reminds us the true testimony of Truth comes from God Himself through the birth, life and death of His Son Jesus Christ! Hallelujah! It is up to our Free Will to accept or reject this Truth living a life of surrender to the One and Only True King of the Universe. This surrender to His Will allows you to be made clean by His Son’s Gospel of Love creating a presence of ever lasting Trust in His Word. Grow with Him daily in a relationship based upon your practice daily ( reading you Bible), your daily prayers and your daily proclamation. By loving our love of Christ we can indeed be the victor over the world and allow His Will to make us clean.
 
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, today I pray for peace in personal intentions. I pray to have courage to stand up for Your Son in all instances. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,

For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith. 1 John 5:3-4
 
He said to them, “Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4:21

1 John 4:19–5:4, Psalm 72:1-2, 14 and 15bc, 17 & Luke 4:14-22
 
Do you believe you can conquer the world by your faith? I met a young man last night in an office supply store that checked me out and I asked if the store had a military discount, he replied no. This led him to ask me what branch I served in and that he had joined the Army and was going to Boot Camp March 1st. As my sale was completed, he said,  “The job market is so poor, I decided to join the Army because I have faith God will protect me as I serve my country.” I replied with, “By your faith in God, you can conquer the world! Amen.”
 
I was thinking of my daily Scripture study from today’s passage and the Lord led me to a young man who had placed his faith in God and I became a vessel to reassure him. We parted by praying together as I asked the Lord to guide him and protect him as he pursues the call to protect his country. Today, let us continue to pray for our military by loving our love of Christ in keeping the commandments and knowing Jesus has fulfilled all Scripture in coming to the world to shoulder the sins of humanity.
 
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, we pray today as we do every day that our military will be guided by Your Son’s Light of Truth. Guide us to live Your Commandments and thus living Your Will in all things. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

The commandments do live
Unburdened by their Truth
A life void of sin full of faith
The world conquered in dues
 
Returning home in Spirit

Wig’s Word of God Today 1-5-2011

This is how we know that we remain in Him and He in us, that He has given us of His Spirit. 1 John 4:13
 
They had all seen Him and were terrified. But at once He spoke with them, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!” Mark 6:50

1 John 4:11-18, Psalm 72:1-2, 10, 12-13 & Mark 6:45-52
 
A battle cry for all Humanity: “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!” If we know He is in us, then we know His Spirit will guide us to have courage for anything we undertake. “Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God.” 1 John 4:15 From this perfect love we can drive out all fear from our minds and hearts and become one with God to accomplish His Will in anything we undertake. “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.” 1 John 4:18
 
I can imagine as the Bible teaches us that it was very hard for even the Apostles to see and believe Jesus was the Son of God. “They had not understood the incident of the loaves. On the contrary, their hearts were hardened.” Mark 6:52 Jesus just fed 5000 people from five loaves of bread and two fish and then He walked on water, how would you feel? Scared? Liberated? How many of us have accepted Christ as our Savior and received graces immediately? In loving your love of Christ, you can expect an abundance of grace in your life. It’s when you experience the problems of living, does your true faith become tested and then we heed His words, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!”
 
And so we pray: Heavenly King, Almighty Father, we pray today to be courageous by our surrender in Your Son’s Truth. Guide is to show this courage by our practice, by our prayer and by our proclamation. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

Wig’s Word of God Today 1-4-2011

Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. 1 John 4:7
 
When He disembarked and saw the vast crowd, His heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things. Mark 6:34

1 John 4:7-10, Psalm 72:1-2, 3-4, 7-8 & Mark 6:34-44
 
The faithful new Shepherd of the World was moved with pity over His people wanting to know and understand His Father better. The Love John speaks of in his letters coursed through His soul wanting to share His Father’s Truth in teaching them the proper acts of faith, hope, charity and love. God showed His love for us by sending His Only Begotten Son to live sinless in the world and stretch His Arms over the Cross of Redemption to save Humanity from sin. John reminds us “whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.” 1 John 4:8-9 Many of you notice I coined the phrase “love your love of Christ” for in surrendering to God’s love we love our love of His Son.
 
And so we pray: Dear God, we pray to accomplish love no matter what we are called to do for You. We pray You show Your love to us by teaching us Your Word through our free will to Glorify You. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,

Wig’s Word of God Today 1-3-2011

We belong to God, and anyone who knows God listens to us, while anyone who does not belong to God refuses to hear us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit. 1 John 4:6

1 Jonn 3:22–4:6, Ps 2:7bc-8, 10-12a & Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25
 
There is a historical Truth about Jesus as we continue our studies of John’s letter that resonates in the Gospel of John regarding Christian living; love and truth. We must live in God’s love and abide in His Truth to accomplish living with faith, hope, charity and love. To live in love one must concern themselves with establishing the greater good of all humanity. To live in Truth one must seek to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with anyone you meet. They go hand-n-hand. You may say to yourselves: “Doesn’t everyone know about Jesus by now?” There will be people everyday you meet that hasn’t heard a word of the Gospel to save their soul from eternal damnation. The Spirit of Truth lives within all of us who have surrendered your life to living by Christ’s example. By your eyes they will know you are Christian. By your walk they will know you are Christian. Most importantly, by your words from the Gospel will they know your love of loving Christ for the Glory of the Father.
 
And so we pray: Dear God, we pray today for all children and teachers going back to school. We pray for guidance Lord in this world full of deceit. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

Wary of every Spirit’s spoof
Not abiding in Christ’s Truth

Each nation can inherit the same
Abiding by Truth from Gospel’s range
Fearing the Lord with respect to gain
Rulers of the earth proclaim His Name
 
A choice of repentance given to thee
Christ proclaimed by the Sea of Galilee
Curing the sick and proclaiming the Gospel
Heaven’s Kingdom is at hand for free

Rise up in splendor! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you. Isaiah 60:1
 
Isaiah 60:1-6, Psalm 72:1-2, 7-8, 10-11, 12-13, Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6 & Matthew 2:1-12
 
Arise in a New Year being thankful for the Lord’s goodness and love in your life. His Light of Truth shines upon all Humanity! Hallelujah! Yesterday, I began a new walking routine with our new German Sheppard puppy Kairos. I am reminded of the Sheppard’s who walked to see their new born king bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They followed a star shinning bright overhead directing them to their Savior. I too will arise daily to open the Light of Truth by reading the Word of God daily to share in the Promise of Christ’s Redemption. There is no need for change this year as much as their is a need for revision in following the decrees set forth by our Lord and Savior. He reminds us to keep a sound body by living a life of His Truth, to study His Word every day, to pray unceasingly over everything to Him and to Proclaim His Good News to everyone you meet. Loving your love of Christ shows in everything you do by your hope, your faith, your charity and your love.
 
And so we pray: Heavenly King, we pray today that we may always proclaim Your Glory in everything we do. Be our Light when we need to shine Your love. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Wig’s Word of God Today 1-1-2011

As proof that you are children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Galatians 4:6

Numbers 6:22-27, Psalm 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8, Galatians 4:4-7 & Luke 2:16-21
 
I am beginning 2011 by giving thanks for God as we begin an amazing new year in the Lord. Our Father’s Spirit cries out to Him from our hearts where He dwells constantly reminding us to be faithful yet fearful of His love and/or wrath. Will you begin the new year by writing down something you need to change? Is it change you need or repentance? Is it repentance you need or surrender? Maybe you think you need nothing and you can do it all by yourself? You’re going to church on Sundays, right? You’re offering everything to Him, right? “I’m too busy to do anything for anyone but me,” you may allow your subconscious to tell you. His Spirit in you is calling out to achieve total repentance. His Spirit in you is calling out to achieve total surrender. Just as the Lord told Moses to tell Aaron in Numbers 6:24, “The LORD bless you and keep you,” He tells us now by our repentance and total surrender that He will bless you and keep you. Let the smile on your face be God’s smile dwelling in your heart and soul living as true heirs to the witness of a baby in a manger by the Sheppard’s long ago. Love your love of Christ!
 
And so we pray: Abba, Father, we call out to You in prayer on our first day of 2011. Allow our New Year to be filled with the Spirit of Your love, seeking to achieve nothing more than Your greatest glory. May our bodies be consecrated to You to accomplish Your Will. We pray today for everyone we have prayed for this past year; heal Jhaysonn Lord, heal Chris Santello Lord and give Your peace to everyone I pray for each and every day. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

And the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and Truth. John 1:14

1 John 2:18-21, Psalm 96:1-2, 11-12, 13 & John 1:1-18
 
Anyone who denies the Son and Father are One has yet to embrace Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Amen. When you hold on to a personal relationship with Jesus, you hold on to a life-changing event allowing your day to be surrounded by His strength, His faith and His love. You begin to regard everything you do in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. “But to those who did accept him He gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in His name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision but of God.” John 1:12-13 I believe I have been born of God to accomplish praise and worship of His Glory in everything I do. By loving your love of Christ, you become children of God to accomplish His Will in all things.
 
And so we pray: Dear God we pray today for a safe New Year’s travel and celebrations all over the world. We pray as Your children, we accomplish Your Will in teaching His Truth to those who do not know Your Son. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,

Flesh came from this Truth
Dwelling among us
Sharing Redemption to choose

His love our destiny to prove
Sowing seeds of forgiveness
Grace and Truth His proof

For all that is in the world, sensual lust, enticement for the eyes, and a pretentious life, is not from the Father but is from the world. 1 John 2:16

1 John 2:12-17, Psalm 96:7-8a, 8b-9, 10 & Luke 2:36-40

John is speaking to all humanity to shed more understanding on what Jesus did when He allowed Himself to be crucified for the sins of the world. Our world is full of such perversion filling our streets with children searching for something more than the flash of enticing colors and pretentious “cool” games. Our children are searching for Truth in accomplishing the joy of living. A Truth we as adults must share with everyone we meet to give the love of Christ. The Prophetess Anna knew the importance of sharing the Truth with the people of her time, “And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.” Luke 36:38 In loving your love of Christ, you share His Truth with your children to accomplish God’s love for all humanity.
 
And so we pray: Dear God, we pray today for Your Word to remain in us so we may share Your Son’s Gospel with the children of the world. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
