Wig’s Word of God Today 7-10-2012
How do you bless the LORD?
It is we who bless the LORD, both now and forever. Hallelujah! Psalm 115:18
Hosea 8:4-7, 11-13, Psalm 115 & Matthew 9:32-38
We must bless the LORD with our lives to expect the Grace the LORD bestows on each of us. I remember a story of a woman calling a Catholic Church who is distraught experiencing all sorts of troubles in life. She is calling to request help in some sort of way, i.e. food, clothing and shelter. She explains her mom and dad help build this church or that ministry and has always given abundantly to the Church.
When asked if she attended church herself, her answer was “sometimes.” When asked if she was taking time to pray the obvious prayers her parents taught her she replied, “I don’t have time.” God has all the answers yet we are overwhelmed with selfish desires to accomplish His directed Decrees of Truth. I find it odd that people feel the deserve help from the church they don’t place any effort in to build up and pray for.
God’s abundance of Grace won’t be felt from lackadaisical effort of living for the Body of Christ. Your parents giving to the Church was accomplished by faith, hope and love. If we can’t find the time to live in God’s faith, hope and love, how can you expect to feel the Grace God has written into your Divine Life of Truth? We reap what we sow comes to mind. It is we who should bless the LORD now and forever. Amen.
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we give our all to You in practice, prayer and preaching. We pray for Julian’s complete healing. We pray for knowledge LORD to live in Your Truth always. We pray for all the Prayer Warriors in the world. Thank You all. We pray the strength to overcome the fatigue in our bodies. We pray for the NC Emmaus Team and their travel needs. We pray for the Ebert Family’s new baby and the poem I wrote below for them yesterday in response to her prayers for Julian. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Where Prayers Warriors truly care- Ode to Julian’s Prayer Warriors
Tears of healing
Tears of joy
Tears of Jesus For our boy
I appreciate the prayers
And the words
They encourage my heart
As if birds
God’s Will has witness
To eternally start
The heartbeat of Truth
Deep in my heart
People far and wide have shared
Prayers of healing God can’t deny
The Cross gives us strength
A leaning post to cry
Knocked out like boxer
Looking to compete
I am my strongest in Christ
When I am weak
I can’t stop this
As the tears find their way to the ground
Confusion seems abundant
Not in my heart where He is found
I’ll probably share this soon
In my fatigue rhyming finds my need
As I stand reciting to Julian
God’s Holy Creed
I’ve been by his bedside
All night long
We have to be present
To keep Julian strong
I soothe and comfort his body
Every day as when I pray
Calling out to the Spirit
In God’s Will of dismay
Please pray for peace and strength
To stay totally engaged
By God’s Only Son
Do we find Redemption we say
God’s Healing comes
From people of faith to obtain
The complete healing
Of mind, body and soul to sustain
For it is not my will
The Will of Him I share
It’s God’s love through Community
Where Prayers Warriors truly care
