Wig’s Word of God Today 5-30-2011
Whoever hates Me also hates my Father. John 15:23
Acts 16:11-15, Psalm 149 & John 15:23- 16-4
Today in Acts we learn of a woman named Lydia who listened to Paul preach becoming a believer Baptizing her family and afterwards said to them: “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my home.” Acts 16:15c There’s an immediate beauty in accepting the LORD Jesus as your Savior that moves mountains and opens doors to even absolute strangers. The door of this woman’s house was opened to Paul and Silas because they shared the Truth of Salvation with her and her family. A Truth that can open doors to complete strangers for the Glory of God. “Knock and the door will open.”
This weekend I listened to a story of doors opening when strangers come knocking to share the Truth of Christ when the directors of the Miami Dream Center (www.miamidreamcenter.org) shared lessons of helping the people of Little Haiti and other less fortunate areas of Miami. What amazed me the most is their absolute resolve to go back time-and-time again to the same area allowing the Holy Spirit to move people’s heart to accept Christ’s Salvation when door after door is closed in their faces from the start. The Guiding Light of Christ is allowing them to illuminate people’s hearts to Trust and Accept their help in the Name of the LORD Christ Jesus. Often people will say no to their request to pray for them but more often than not they will eventually open their doors to their work of prayer with persistence of Christ’s love. A lesson to learn and accept in all of our lives. The Joy of Salvation will open doors by His Persistent Love of Humanity. Be persistent and share His Truth. Amen.
Such a powerful in your face statement by Christ: “Whoever hates Me also hates my Father.” John 15:23 How can we love the Father if we don’t love the Son? There’s only One Way to the Father and that’s through the Son. Jesus tells us towards the end of John 15 that people will makes excuses for their sin but He reminds us, “But in order that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without cause.’” John 15:25 People will hear and witness true miracles in the Name of Christ Jesus but yet still not believe. Their life of selfish acts of greed, excess and lust are more important than anything they witness because Satan’s grip of their soul is pulling them away from His Truth. From our persistence in exposing the shame of excess of the secular world we will provide a true testimony of our love of loving Christ as a open door to His Salvation. Amen.
So we ask in prayer: Dear God, we pray today for continued healing of Augie Silva. We pray to knock on the locked doors of lost souls with confidence void of fear to share Your Son’s Truth with all Salvation. We pray for all the souls who lost their lives serving our Great Country this Memorial Day. Bless them LORD will Eternal Rest in Your Arms of Salvation. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
God Bless His Truth,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
My Truth They Did Not Include
An Advocate will come
His Truth from the Son
Will share the Father’s need
Only from Him will He proceed
Testify to Him
Seek only His Truth
My Will be His
My Salvation to use
They will expel you
Throw you away
Their lust and greed guiding
A death they must pay
A death they will witness
From Satan’s depth below
They did not know they Father
My Truth they did not include
