Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins

 Wig’s Word of God Today 4-26-2011

Repent and be baptized, every one of you, 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
 
Acts 2:36-41, Psalm 33 & John 20:11-18

How many of you remember when you were Baptized? I know, many of you were Baptized as a baby and confirmed later but not me, I was Baptized when I was thirty at a Midnight Easter Vigil and I can tell you I felt the Holy Spirit move me to tears as I processed up with many other first timers. I kept thinking, “Am I worthy, Am I worthy, Am I worthy,” while the feeling of His Truth kept resounding in my heart and soul, “I died for your sins. My Truth will set you free.” Well free it did set me. I chose to embrace His Truth in more ways than one; I chose to practice by reading my bible every day. I chose to pray every moment of every day over everything and every deed. I chose to share His Truth by my proclamation to anyone, anywhere and anytime.
 
The message of Peter he shared on that first Pentecost day after Jesus’ Death and Ascension is as important today as it was then. “For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call.” He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Acts 2:39-40 I would argue that the generations of people since have grown in corruption and sin. One only has to look at a television program and see how sinful behavior is exalted over the Truth by selfish acts of sin. Our culture will promote excessive sex and cheating on your spouses is ok and then celebrate this with the actors as a good example to follow. Our world is missing the values of loving thy neighbors, family and Truth through living the Word of God so much I believe the LORD’s wrath will fall upon on our world to clean up this mess before too long. Be examples of His Truth and stay steadfast to your love of loving Christ Jesus for the good of all Humanity. Amen.
 
So we ask in prayer: My LORD and my God, we pray today Your gift of the Holy Spirit dwells in our souls to live every moment to Glorify You and Your Son’s Truth. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”
 
Your Son’s Truth to Forever Live and To Trust
 
His Word is the Light to love
Heat from the True source above
Justice His true living breath
Air to breathe to undergo the test
 
The oceans and seas His bathing place
Reverence shown and to joyfully state
A nation who shows its worth
Are guided by His Truth in its work
 
Nations have tried to live without Him
He foiled their designs and frustrates them
Only His Truth will guide the reality seen
By their works will God judge nations pristine
 
Wait for the LORD our help and armor
Kept from death and obvious dishonor
Rejoice in His Holiness to rid our disgust
Your Son’s Truth to forever live and to Trust

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
