Wig’s Word of God Today 9-7-2011
Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry. Because of these the wrath of God is coming [upon the disobedient]. Colossians 3:5-6
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you. Luke 6:22a
Colossians 3:1-11, Psalm 145 & Luke 6:20-26
Paul explains to us today to stop our vices allowing the life of Christ to become completely alive in you centering your life around His Word to live in your resurrected life for the Glory of God. He warns us if you are disobedient in your behavior you surely will experience the wrath of God somewhere in your life because of your evil desires of greed and self. Once you find God’s Spirit dwelling in you each moment of every day you will find the mundane tasks for God will seem so joyous. You will seek this joy of His love constantly putting to death what once was a selfish passion of lust, greed and self.
Many times in your life of living for God, you will find people will try excluding you from certain events or conversation by the Grace of God working in you. People who are fearful of God’s Truth are fearful of you entering upon their landscape in more ways than you can imagine. You are a threat to their selfish ways of life and they will do whatever it takes to exclude you and your righteousness. Once you become righteous in the LORD, you take on a different persona that selfish people will fear but it is our duty as Disciples in Christ to share His Truth without hesitation. One or two at a time can we make a difference until many come to know the passion you feel for Christ’s Salvation and His Everlasting Promise.
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today for all vices in our life to disappear and for us to become completely in communion with Your Truth. We pray for those who exclude us, even those in our ministries who seek preference over Purpose in choosing their likes and dislikes of life’s leaderships. We pray for my daughter Alexandra’s peace and healing. We pray for my cousins in Georgia having a serious surgery today and a stress test later this week. We pray for my Prison Ministry Team of Kairos as we prepare to minister to the imprisoned next weekend. We pray this in the Name of Christ Jesus. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
From His Sermon on the Plain
The poor are blessed
The Kingdom they possess
In work and in deed
Living the Apostles creed
The hungry are His
Blessed to live
Satisfied and full
Hungerless to prove
Weeping eyes see
The beauty of He
Laughing in joy
Never to destroy
People who hate you
Blessed for Truth
Shielded from insult
Evil names of reprove
Leap and rejoice
For the day has gained
Insight and guidance
From His Sermon on the Plain
