Wig’s Word of God Today 10-3-2011
I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land. Jonah 1:9
The one who treated him with mercy. Luke 10:37
Jonah 1 & 2 & Luke 10:25-37
Many of us over the years have heard the story of Jonah and his whale riding adventure in the belly of the great fish for three days after being thrown off a ship at sea. What many of us don’t know is that Jonah’s plight was considered Divine punishment for Jonah fleeing from the LORD and the sailors who tossed him into the sea begged the LORD not to hold his blood against them. Conversion of hearts and souls happened at sea during the biggest storm of their lives and many sailors we are told had a Divine change that day by the presence of Jonah and his ultimate fate of being thrown over the side to hopefully calm the seas, which it did.
Many of us have had the opportunity because of our presence to share the LORD’s Truth with someone possibly even a total stranger. Sometimes even words are not necessary to have a conversion of heart which for many a Saturday we pray for as we hold prayer vigils in front of an abortion clinic here in South Florida. A lot of times I will reflect on my own experience when I took my children’s mother to have an abortion before they were born when we first met almost 29 years ago. The lost fatherhood compels me to cry tears of anger and pain as I sit there many a Saturday for the last 5 years. Today I am especially mindful of this because it is my daughter Alexandra’s 28th birthday today.
This past Saturday something happened we hope and pray for each and every time we pray before the clinic by our silent presence of prayer and signs offering solutions for the mother; a young girl changed her mind. This young lady walked by not once but twice whispering the second time to a prayer friend “I didn’t do it.” Stunned she ran after her and offered her help and counseling that she refused but her change of heart we believe can be attributed to our weekly presence there at the death scene. Something we pray for every week and is such a joy to experience when we witness it first hand. Our prayers continue for this young woman’s health and the health of her baby.
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to treat people with mercy by Your Truth. We pray for conversion of heart for all in need. We pray for my daughter Alexandra’s peace and healing. We pray this in the Name above all names Christ Jesus. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
God’s Eternal Parental Night
Today I’ll be lost thinking of you
The wonders of birth its due
Every year this day brings tears of Truth
My only daughter was born as proof
Over the years I’ve let her down
Sometimes I think she’s wear a frown
Of why her daddy missed his date
A weekend lost a childhood of fate
God has brought me full circle in right
I teach children the love of life
My heart aches for all to know the Light
Steadfast in forgiveness a lifelong of might
God’s Eternal Parental Night
