Wig’s Word of God Today 6-23-2012
No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24
Second Chronicles 24:17-25, Psalm 89 & Matthew 6:24-34
I find myself today sitting in a small outreach center for spiritual retreats in Vineland, NJ experiencing the joy of Brotherhood in an Emmaus retreat for the boys of South Jersey. I have to admit the love of Christ is full force today amongst people who up to yesterday were complete strangers but now are Brothers in Christ. You can see every type of person here who seeks to accomplish the Will of God by faith, charity and love and I am excited to say each are filled with the Spirit of God. When I look into the eyes of these men, I see men who love one another for what they are and not for what they bring to the table in possessions or money. They have a genuine desire to be devoted to one another serving God to His fullest expectations.
In my life, I have been drawn to the temptations and enticements of toys, noise and financial worth not recognizing the desires of flesh these items can cause in your life until it was too late to stop my progression of selfishness and sin. In my case, the end result was losing everything living on the streets of despair but God had a different plan for me I accepted when I learned to place His Truth in my life first and seek the comforts of faith, hope and love. I know this is one of the reasons why I am drawn to the homeless of the world for I have felt the sting of thorns sleeping in the bushes of a master of sin. I finally learned to love God by knowing myself first in the Glory of God the Father. It is my prayer to accomplish His Will by serving only His Truth and nothing more, nothing less. Amen.
In prayer we ask: Dear LORD, we pray today to seek Your Truth above all else serving only Your Truth as our Master of faith, hope and love. We pray for the NJ Emmaus weekend to be filled with Your Spirit LORD. We pray for the NC Emmaus Team preparations. We pray for Mike the homeless man whose health concerns are immediate. We pray for our wives praying for us at home. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

My Walk to Emmaus set me free- Tribute to Carlos Z.
Looked in the mirror
Finding who you are
Defining your daily actions
To increase my heart’s desire
Honesty in my presence
Not here to teach my view
No cult of an angle to experience
Living in Christ anew
We are here because God calls us
Not to force any beauty of me
My priorities are driven relentless
By God’s love of Eternity I thee
I thought I saw the weakness
In men who hugged a fool
My hole in my chest opened
Finding a liar, a cheat, a drool
I watched them be a brother
A husband and a friend revealed
I asked God to show His presence
I learned God was in all unconcealed
I witnesses guys in friendship
I was scared at first to see
They shared peace I didn’t know to encourage
Loving God through knowing myself for He
My Walk to Emmaus set me free
