Wig’s Word of God Today 5-21-2011
The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:52
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in Me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these. John 14:12
Acts 13:44-52, Psalm 98 & John 14:7-14
The Jews became jealous of Paul and Barnabas because the Gentiles were drawn to their preaching of the Truth which offered them Eternal Life. The more they spoke, the more they were drawn to Gospel of Jesus and the more the Jews began to complain and ultimately had them both expelled from their region. I can see them now as they leave the town and pull their sandals off shaking the dust off at them in observance of Matthew 14:10; “Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words–go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet.” The Seed of Truth had been planted and it was time for Paul and Barnabas to continue their journey of preaching the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
The Gospel of John relates to Christ’s Glory in chapters 13 through 20 sharing Jesus’ Divine role in the Seven Signs or “I AM” statements. His Divine Purpose becomes more and more evident through His Declaration “that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.” John 14:11 I am often reminded of Christ’s statement “whoever believes in Me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these” when I see works of charity being performed by ordinary men and women of every walk of life.
When I share the Gospel of Christ to strangers through acts of charity, I remind them to accomplish the same act of joy when encountering people in their walk of life. By loving your love of Christ you will do the works of His Truth by your faith, charity and love and see greater ones each and every time. As people of faith, Christ implores us to be forthcoming to friends and strangers alike and allow His Spirit of Truth to overcome the ignorance of His Divine Teachings to thwart the consequences of living a life of greed, hate and self. Amen.
So we ask in prayer: Dear Abba Father, today we continue our prayers for healing of Augie Silva. We pray special intentions for Raquel’s work promotion. We pray we can accomplish Your Glory when we accomplish works of charity in Your Son’s Name. We ask this in Jesus Name. Amen.
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”
Ask in My Name His Glory to Be- John 14
My Father is known in Me
Love Me as the Father you see
Not a difference in each to agree
Only I and the Father can always Be
Phillip was blind of this
Asking to see His proof
Jesus said you know Me Phillip
Living with Me is the Truth
No words come from Me alone
My Father dwells in every unknown
I speak His Truth I’ve always shown
His words were not lived on His own
All Works I have done is He
The Father of Life to always see
Ask in My Name His Glory to be
You will do greater works than these
