Wig’s Word of God Today 6-6-2012
Apostle of Christ Jesus through the Will of God in accordance with His promise of life in Christ Jesus. So you are never to be ashamed of witnessing to our LORD, or ashamed of me for being his prisoner; but share in my hardships for the sake of the Gospel, relying on the Power of God. Second Timothy 1:1/8
Second Timothy 1:1-12, Psalm 123 & Mark 12:18-27
Today in Second Timothy, Paul is reminding us to stay focused on our gift of Christ’s Gospel to know His Passion, Perfection and Purpose. He asks us to never be timid when living the Gospel of Christ seeking not our own pleasures of the flesh but fan the flames of living for the pleasure of faith, charity and love.
By the Will of God I humbly bow before His Truth daily to witness from my knees how to live as an Apostle of Christ Jesus in accordance with His Promise for I have never been ashamed to speak of His Truth to anyone, anytime or anywhere. I am His prisoner sharing in the hardships for the sake of the Gospel knowing my practice, prayer and preaching are guided by His Truth to live for His Will.
“Night and day I thank God whom I serve with a pure conscience as my ancestors did. I remember you in my prayers constantly night and day; That is why I am reminding you now to fan into a flame the gift of God that you possess through the laying on of my hands. God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but the Spirit of power and love and self-control.” Second Timothy 1:5-7
Many times I will share with you how easy it is to talk to complete strangers about Christ’s Truth. Yesterday, I pulled up to get gas running into an Emmaus Brother at the pump. Seen or unseen, if you need an Emmaus Brother just pray. After hugging (un Abrazo), he finished off filling his tank and left and a man pulled up whom I began to chat to.
When I finished talking to him, I said, “God Bless You” experiencing what I call as a Christ-like reply. “God Bless You too. How nice it is to hear a man say God Bless You without hesitation.” I pray we all can fulfill the Kingdom of God’s request of being people of faith not afraid or “ashamed for the sake of the Gospel, relying on the Power of God.” Amen.
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to live for Christ’s Gospel sharing in the joys as well as the hardships of life to live for Your Will LORD. We pray for the new Emmaus Brothers beginning our study together today LORD. We pray for guidance LORD to live as only a Disciple knows how. We pray for family, friends and strangers alike who struggle with and/or celebrate Your love. Shout out to Braulio of love and prayers. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
The Salvation of Christ he gave his life to present- Second Timothy 1:1-12
Timothy was like his brother
Learned to preach like no other
Paul his mentor he smothered
Living for Christ’s Will as a lover
Of the promise of a life in Christ
To Timothy his dear child for advice
Grace, Mercy and Peace from God to suffice
Guided by the Truth of Christ’s Eternal Light
Paul shared his gratefulness of God
Worshipping daily by His Staff and Rod
In a clear conscious as his ancestors did
Prayers for you are constant with a nod of my lid
In His Reason I remind you to stir
The Flame of Christ His Gift to incur
By the laying of hands your spirit concurred
No cowardice blood in your will to deter
Sin from laying his hands on you
By power, self-control and love will you prove
You are never ashamed of testimony True
Nor of me a prisoner of God’s Eternal Truth
I see the hardship you bare for the Gospel spoils
Facing them with strength coming from His toils
He called us to Holiness void of ugly boils
In His works not our own design of loyals
His grace was evident before time began
Manifest and made to be Kingdom’s stand
Christ Jesus lived by His Father’s Holy Hands
Savior of the world Truth’s Foundation command
Death destroyed where immortality is scene
By the Light of Truth His Gospel to believe
Appointed as preacher, Apostle and teacher
Paul was unashamed of the sufferings feature
If only we’d all believe as I do in Him
Whom the world hated as the Father’s Kin
Established confidence in Paul to guard His defense
The Salvation of Christ he gave his life to present
