Realize how far you have fallen. Repent, and do the works you did at first

Wig’s Word of God Today 11-15-2010

Realize how far you have fallen. Repent, and do the works you did at first. Revelation 2:5a

Revelation 1:1-4; 2:1-5, Psalm 1:1-2, 3, 4 and 6 & Luke 18:35-43

Many would agree that the Book of Revelation has many symbolic messages that are hard to understand. This much we do know: God sent an angel to John “who gives witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ by reporting what he saw.” Revelation 1:2  This book’s message is just as important today as it was when it was written by John to express to the world’s churches that we should hold fast to the promise of Christ Jesus Who is the Beginning and the End allowing our fears, our worries and our sins to be shouldered by Him. Remember, no matter how far you fallen a way from His love in sin, He will always forgive you and welcome you into His arms of love.
 
Time and time again through the Gospels you will hear Jesus say: “your faith has saved you go in peace.” Not once can you find the words my power has saved you hence by faith we are afforded the Salvation Jesus Christ gives all humanity by His death on the Cross. The blind man from Jericho believed that Jesus Christ could give him sight and through his faith he was healed. The Will of God must be celebrated through all things by faith, hope, charity and love. There are those times when someone close to us is not healed and go through terrible instances of medical problems that we cannot understand and no matter how much we pray they succumb to the illness. It is precisely during these times that we must celebrate the Will of God as the destiny for this person.

Last Saturday my wife and I visited a very close friend who checked himself into the hospital after experiencing dizziness and weakness from the end results of chemotherapy. He was recently told that his chemotherapy has now saturated his system and he cannot receive any more to heal his cancer. He told us he was given a new drug for cancer therapy that would make him feel as if he was going through menopause. He would be sweaty one moment; he would cry uncontrollably the next and his emotions were up and down during our visit. He asked if I would relay to my prayer warriors that they pray for the Lord’s Will to be done for Chris Santello. He feels the Lord is calling him home soon. This is the same man I recently wrote about who shared Christ’s love with a cashier in a Home Depot affecting her life forever. In loving your love of Christ, you accept all things as the Will of the Lord and you celebrate this Love no matter what you are experiencing in your life. Please pray for Chris Santello.
 
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, today we pray Your Will be done in the life of Chris Santello. We pray especially for You to give him peace and eliminate his fear Lord. We pray for those today who have fallen away from the church that someone somewhere may touch their heart and allow them to return to the bosom of Christ. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen
 
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
 
By Faith He Will Receive His Dues
 
Christ’s revelation
Witnessed in His Word
Read the Truth aloud
Your prayers to be heard
 
Seven Stars are held high
By Christ in Heaven above
He knows your actions
Endurance of God’s love
 
Imposters you will discover
Apostles they are not
They carry evil desires
Seeking a soul that is lost
 
They are the fallen ones
Weary and tired of sin
Repentance of ugliness needed
Salvation from the Lamb to win
 
A tree holds much knowledge
A life to lead in Truth
Fed by waters of Salvation
Faith, hope and charity to use
 
The just He will carry to the finish
By faith He will receive his dues
The blind man from Jericho as witness
All people gave praise to prove

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do! I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650. I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect. I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain, Yours in Christ, Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
