	<itunes:summary>www.PurelyCatholic.com - We all need a consistent spiritual practice - some form of a prayer life. To help you with this, Jorge Lazaro Diaz, our PurelyCatholic.com commentator, reads the upcoming Sunday Mass scriptures and shares with you a short, down to Earth (no pun intended) reflection.  We hope to help you with your prayer life by sharing with you some tidbits to make them more real to you as a working (or non-working if you happen to be unemployed) professional, student or just someone wanting to grow your Catholic faith and prayer life.  Jorge says, \"The program is practical and NOT too intellectual or theological.  We hope it helps you address the issues you face as a husband, wife, parent or just plain, old, regular Catholic trying to do your best.\"   Let us know if you think I hit the mark.</itunes:summary>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 2-23-2012 </strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">What profit is there for one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself? Luke 9:25</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Deuteronomy 30:15-20, Psalm 1 &amp; Luke 9:22-25</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As described in Deuteronomy 30:16-20 by Moses says it all for humanity even today to follow and find favor with God is very simple:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">“<em>If you obey the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I am giving you today, loving the LORD, your God, and walking in His ways, and keeping His commandments, statutes and ordinances, you will live and grow numerous, and the LORD, your God, will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. If, however, your heart turns away and you do not obey, but are led astray and bow down to other gods and serve them, I tell you today that you will certainly perish; you will not have a long life</em>.<em> </em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><em>I call heaven and earth today to witness against you I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, by loving the LORD, your God, obeying His voice, and holding fast to Him. For that will mean life for you, a long life for you to live on the land which the LORD swore to your ancestors</em>.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">So I ask you: “What profit is there for one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In the Holy Trinity we pray to seek You LORD as Truth to live and abide by in thought, word and deed. We pray for the soul of Pam Bishop. We pray for the healing of Joe Montalbano. We pray for “40 Days of Life” to close abortion clinics. We pray for the Emmaus Team in NJ. We pray for LIFE FM. We pray for all people. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;<em>Spirit led God inspired Christ fed</em>&#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">Christ Fed Humanity Spared- Luke 9:22-25</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Jesus described to His Disciples</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The death He would soon endure</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The chief scribes, elders and priests</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Will kill me for the love God I procure</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The grace of the Father will raise Me</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">This is something you can be sure</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">On the Third Day I will come alive</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Death of sin for you I forever conquer</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As the thought of death set in</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">His words directed at all to hear</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Those who will follow me</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Must deny himself all fear</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">By picking up his cross daily</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Losing his whole world to compare</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">By saving your life from forfeit</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Christ fed humanity spared</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 2-22-2012 </strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. Matthew 6:6</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Joel 2:12-18, Psalm 51, 2 Corinthians 5:20-6:2 &amp; Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We begin Lent with Ash Wednesday liturgies where the Church uses ashes as the ancient symbol of repentance (sackcloth and ashes). They also remind us of our mortality as you hear the words &#8220;<em>remember that you are dust and dust you shall return</em>&#8221; and thus bringing closer the day when we will stand before God and be judged. To prepare well for the day we die, we must die now to sin and rise to new life in Christ. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Being marked with ashes at the beginning of Lent indicates our recognition of the need for deeper conversion of our lives during this season of renewal as we live out the 40 days in hope to give more to prayer, fasting and charity. We are reminded today to seek out the LORD in all we do especially in prayer asking the LORD to guide you in faith, repentance and surrender to living a life led by His Word. Give up more than just candy or coffee but give in to God’s Only Son of Redemption to share and to proclaim.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The LORD asks us to all to go to an inner room and close the door to pray to Him in secret allowing you an opportunity to shut out any distractions and wondering thoughts about outside activities and thoroughly focus on the task at hand of praying to the Father alone. I know it’s hard to let go and let God be God when praying for we have countless thoughts and tasks on our minds but God asks us to shut that door and be still in His Presence during prayer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I personally find early morning as my beginning prayer time as the moment I can find quiet to start my day in His Truth. As I live each day, I call out to the LORD in prayer often as I seek His Counsel to guide my every thought, action and deed. May this Lenten time bring you closer to God in ways you never imagined. May you give more to studying God’s Word, pray over everything you do and make a mends with anyone you hold a grudge against. “<em>And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you</em>.&#8221; Matthew 6:18</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In the Holy Trinity we pray to close the door and listen to Your Word as our guide to live for faith, charity and love. We pray for “40 Days of Life” to close abortion clinics. We pray for the Emmaus Team in NJ. We pray for LIFE FM. We pray for all people. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Let us not judge what we see</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As others come to be</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Closer to God by prayer</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 2-21-2012 </strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">So submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you of two minds. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">James 4:7-8</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">James 4:1-10, Psalm 55 &amp; Mark 9:30-37</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Bible teaches us to draw close to God so God doesn’t become our enemy by our love of the world instead of embracing His Truth to guide our every thought, action and deed. There is only one Real Way to resist the devil and that’s by practice, prayer and preaching. We must take steps to securely attach ourselves to God’s Word to guide our lives to a complete purification in God’s love for each of us. The Devil will flee when you rebuke him in God’s Name.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Your sinful pleasures are limited to feelings that escape you and are fleeting at best. When you embrace God’s Truth, you find the strength to submit to God’s Plan for you by your actions of repentance, humility and resistance to evil. If you are living with two minds of sin and purification, you are living in “yes” “yes” world of indecision. If you do not submit yourself to God’s Plan, then you are trying to skim demonic joys while walking the Light of Truth. “<em>God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble</em>.” James 4:6</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In the Holy Trinity we pray to draw near to God and resist temptation in Your Holy Name. We pray for “40 Days of Life” to close abortion clinics. We pray for the Emmaus Team in NJ. We pray for LIFE FM. We pray for all people. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">He Will Exalt You by Humble Adorning- James 4:1-10</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Where do wars and conflicts come from?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Only passion within yourselves at best</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">You kill and envy but cannot obtain</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">You covet but do not possess</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">You can’t possess without asking</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In asking you must ask of God</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">You do not receive your passions</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Adulterers can’t see grace in a bod</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">If you love the world then God is your enemy</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Lover of stuff grants you excommunication</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Grace of God will guide you to be humble</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Only in His Grace will one receive satisfaction</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Submission to His Truth is easy to do</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Resist the Devil and he will flee from you</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Cleanse your hands you sinners of heart</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Those of two minds God’s love does part</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Shed the sinner’s release of weeping</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Let your laughter be one of mourning</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Where His Truth guides your sojourning</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He will exalt you by humble adorning</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show his works by a good life in the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">I do believe, help my unbelief! Mark 9:24b</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">James 3:13-18, Psalm 19 &amp; Mark 9:14-29</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">How can any of us face the unbelief of society in today’s sinful secular beliefs of men and women who live outside the practice of living God’s Divine Word? James teaches us that true wisdom doesn’t come from earthly unclean demonic spirits “<em>but the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without inconstancy or insincerity</em>.” James 3:17 We face this unbelief by showing our “<em>works by a good life in the humility that comes from wisdom</em>.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We can only gain understanding of God’s desires for humanity by studying His Word each and every day with patience, tenacity and fervor for living the Truth. There is only one way to find the wisdom God instilled into mankind and that’s by seeking wisdom in humble servitude of His Truth. Without good works of compassion, mercy and love we live for selfish desires void of God’s Divine Wisdom instilled only by studying the Word of God and acting on its purposeful consequence. He will help your unbelief. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">He will find you sharing His love without hesitation in the most unusual places once you find His Surrender means more to you than any other thing in your life. In a sense of heart, you become <em>willing</em> to die for Him because you are <em>ready</em> to die for Him. Your readiness came when you called out to Him in repentance asking for forgiveness and confessing Christ is LORD. What you weren’t ready for before becomes a Truth you live for now. “<em>Whoever believes in the Son has Eternal Life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him</em>.” John 3:36</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In the Holy Trinity we pray for wisdom of humility and belief. We pray for “40 Days of Life” to close abortion clinics. We pray for the Emmaus Team in NJ. We pray for LIFE FM. We pray for all people. We pray for the Good Friday prayers to be answered. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Who but the Trinity is wise and understanding?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Who but the Trinity shows works by good life?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Who but the Trinity is humility coming from wisdom?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Who but the Trinity instills in us to live right?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In false spirits you have bitter jealousy at heart</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In false spirits you have selfish ambition to start</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In false spirits you have boastful false truths</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In false spirits you live earthly, unspiritual and demonic used</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">For where jealousy and self-led ambition ride</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">There is disorder and foul ambition to hide</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The hatred is dismal and flamboyant at best</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">For Truth prepares you for the ultimate test</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What is pure comes from above</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Peaceable, gentle and compliant</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Mercy abound dripping in good fruits</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">No inconstancy on insincerity knelt truths</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 2-19-2012 </strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">As God is faithful, our word to you is not “yes” and “no.” </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">2 Corinthians 1:18</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Isaiah 43:18-25, Psalm 41, 2 Corinthians 1:18-22 &amp; Mark 2:1-12</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Paul is describing to us the way people may answer the call to Christ as a double impression saying yes for this or that in Christ but also saying yes for areas of life that contradicts your surrender to a “<em>Child of God</em>” abiding by the decrees of God’s Word. We become naïve to our own understanding if we say yes one moment and in the same breath say yes to something else or think of something else in place of accepting the Truth in “<em>constancy</em>” living for the glory of God the Father. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Stop and think about this: Do you believe its okay in certain circumstances to have an abortion while saying I am Pro-Life? Do you give in to opinions of men when professing the Truth of Christ Jesus? Can you stand in His Will accepting His call when the task seems too big or the opposition is too vocal? Reclaim your place to live for a faithful God Whose “<em>yes</em>” is always “<em>yes</em>” guiding you to accomplish this “<em>yes</em>” in a task too big for your thoughts but undeniably trusted by the One and Only True God as doable. We all know God doesn’t set us on task we couldn’t complete in His Name with all trust, focus and graces coming from our souls.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Let us not wonder what makes us a happy motivated human being but trust in God’s Word to guide us to His Will. We think that we must rely on self-instruction but God’s Spirit is promised to us by Christ Himself  to guide us as His Mentor and Aide. We must pull always from our original sources in His Word to integrate our learning instilling curiosity while holding hands with human error. We become righteous by living for His Will in the real world of poverty accepting mistakes as learning to embrace our work for His Salvation. Let our “yes” mean “yes” for His “yes” to grace, forgiveness and love. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We pray by God, His Son and His Spirit our yes to You is Eternal. Robert M. in NJ we are praying a Novena for you my Brother in Christ. We pray for “40 Days of Life” to close abortion clinics. We pray for the Emmaus Team in NJ. We pray for LIFE FM. We pray for humanity. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Do you not see how faithful God is?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As God is faithful in yes at His best</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Not knowing a no in the Truth</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We are obliged to be faithful in His rest</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Son of God knew nothing less</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">But only the yes from God’s test</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Proclaimed not put on a shelf</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">But yes in His Promise in His self</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Let our amen be for His glory</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 2-18-2012 </strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you realize that we will be judged more strictly. James 3:1</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him. Mark 9:7d</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">James 3:1-10, Psalm 12 &amp; Mark 9:2-13</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">There will be times in our life when we will have trouble listening to God and following His Truth because we are weak and fall short of the goal as prescribed by Christ Jesus. I do implore that we must never lose sight of our own transfiguration of surrender to Christ’s Redemption as we live to re-share the Amazing Light that changed our life. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I can only imagine what Peter, James and John were thinking as Jesus became white as snow as they stood on the mountain watching His clothes changing before their very eyes. When God spoke to them from a cloud, they must have been totally amazed in stupendous fear. “<em>Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, ‘This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him</em>.’” Mark 9:7 </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">These men were willing to do whatever Jesus asked of them even though in the end they would deny Him to protect their own lives to fulfill the Will of God and become the Apostles of His Truth for humanity’s benefit. As a devout teacher of His Word, I pray we all never fall short of hearing His Word to guide us in practice, prayer and preaching. We must listen to God’s Son as commanded by God Himself. We will naturally shine His Light to help transfigure other’s lives to “<em>listen to Him</em>.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Last year as I walked along Key Largo June 22, I came across a memorial for a Fallen Hero. Her name was Melissa Powers and her name is one I will never forget. She was a Monroe Country Sherriff Deputy killed on duty in a car accident. Her death struck me even more when I learned she had died one year to the day where I was kneeling and praying for her soul that hot summer afternoon. I prayed for her little 7-year-old girl too when I learned of Autumn. I prayed she would have the Smile of Christ to guide her and protect her. Yesterday I met her for the first time as I watched her get out of a car with that “<em>Smile of Protection</em>” I prayed for before lifting my heart to an eye-full of rain. I visited her mommy’s resting place memorial and marveled at the work of her grandpa with tears in my eyes. Please say a prayer for our Fallen Heroes and their families in the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We pray by God, His Son and His Spirit to listen and follow Your Word LORD. We pray for Prayer Point today at the abortion mill praying for the babies dying there today. We continue our Novena of prayers for Robert M. in NJ. We pray for “40 Days of Life” to close abortion clinics. We pray for the Emmaus Team in NJ. We pray for LIFE FM. We pray for peace for mankind. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">Melissa Powers Autumn Never Forgotten</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I once prayed for a smile of protection </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">When I learned of her mommy going to heaven</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A smile of protection to be eternally given</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">For the Autumn of Christy’s soul a resting</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">She smiled with His joy of protection</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">First chance meeting to pray and to listen</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The sound of grandpa’s hard work granting</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Peace of God’s resting in a waterfall garden</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. James 2:26</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">James 2:14-24, 26, Psalm 112 &amp; Mark 8:34, 9:1</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">My mom says to me often, “<em>your burning the candle at both ends</em>” describing the works of God I accomplish each day. The process of giving to God doesn’t come only on Sundays, it comes each day as we seek to accomplish living in the Will of God without hesitation. Over the years, I’ve struggled with carrying out good works for the LORD as well as sharing the work of God I accomplish for the Glory of His Truth. After considerable prayer, God has shared with me the strength to accomplish acts of mercy as well as sharing those acts in my writings daily to demonstrate ease of making the best of your Good Works for the LORD. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Good Works for God can come anytime, with anyone and anywhere as we walk our road of life in His surrender. Your Good Works can come as a prayer at a meal with friends or family in restaurant silently sharing the Good News with strangers who may also pray for the first time at their table because you chose to pray and guide them back to God in daily prayer from that point on. Maybe your Good Works for a homeless man will cause him to pray and share his offerings more readily each day with those he encounters in the world. Just maybe because you pray before a meal at work someone will silently begin to pray each day leading to witnessing to one another in His love weeks later.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">James puts it this way in Chapter two verses 20: “<em>Do you want proof, you ignoramus, that faith without works is useless</em>?” after describing how faith is dead without works in versus 14-17. “<em>What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead</em>.” Let your life be an example of the Good Works God has instilled in you to become His Light to humanity for Good Works for Godly Ways. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We pray by God, His Son and His Spirit to accomplish Good Works to share Your Truth with the world. We continue our Novena of prayers for Robert M. in NJ. We pray for “40 Days of Life” to close abortion clinics. We pray for the Emmaus Team in NJ. We pray for LIFE FM. We pray for our spouses, children, family, friends, and the unknown Christ-like people we pray with every day. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;<em>Spirit led God inspired Christ fed</em>&#8220;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">What good is faith without works of Truth?- James 2:14-26</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What good is faith without works of Truth?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Faith is a flower to bloom in works you choose</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Faith alone won’t save you from God’s blues</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Because God wants you to do works to use</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">For His Glory when a person has nothing to wear</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Can you send away without warmth or food I dare</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Oh no, go in peace without my choice to care</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">How can that be pleasing to God if you don’t share?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">So faith itself without works is dead to be</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A man, woman or child without God to see</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Without works how can we demonstrate faith to agree</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I believe in One God to Eternally set me free</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Don’t be an ignoramus without works to live</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In faith of His Promise He surely will give</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Be a friend of God as Abraham did knowing</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A body without Spirit and faith without works is dead</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 2-16-2012 </strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Listen, my dear brothers: it was those who were poor according to the world that God chose, to be rich in faith and to be the heirs to the Kingdom which He promised to those who love Him. James 2:5</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">James 2:1-9, Psalm 34 &amp; Mark 8:27-33</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I have to admit I was pretty scared when it came to visiting the homeless, poor and hungry as I began my surrender to a life in Christ. There used to be a point in my life that I would look down on people who were failures in the eyes of the society. I used to ask myself, “<em>Why do these people choose to live alone amongst the elements instead of fulfilling the dream most Americans have</em>?” God instilled in me the courage to fulfill His Commands by daily practice, prayer and preaching to embrace the lost as His child of destiny. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I remember distinctly the first time I hugged a homeless man and he whispered in my ear, “<em>this is the first time anyone has held me in years</em>,” that I knew God was talking to me as tears of Christ joy ran down my cheeks. Mother Theresa heard the poor man say, “<em>I am thirsty</em>,” and she equated this to God telling her to do more for the poor and needy of the world. I personally lived a homeless life finding not despair in my heart but a purpose to live for His Glory. What you find in me writing to God in brevity is courage to do more for His Truth. Share your love of loving Christ Jesus. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">“<em>I will praise Yahweh from my heart; let the humble hear and rejoice. Proclaim with me the greatness of Yahweh, let us acclaim His Name together. I seek Yahweh and He answers me, frees me from all my fears. Fix your gaze on Yahweh and your face will grow bright, you will never hang your head in shame</em>.” Psalm 34:2-5</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We pray by God, His Son and His Spirit to seek out the poor and share with them the Good News Your Son brought to the world.. We continue our Novena of prayers for Robert M. in NJ. We pray for “40 Days of Life” to close abortion clinics. We pray for the Emmaus Team in NJ. We pray for LIFE FM. We pray for our spouses, children, family, friends, and the unknown Christ-like people we pray with every day. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">His Promised House for those who love His decrees- James 2:1-9</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">There is no distinction in faith</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">All are afforded God’s Space</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Jesus Christ is for all to taste</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Not just the rich but poor to face</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Two different types arrive at the door</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">One rich and one obviously poor</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Do not make a distinction of the two</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God is for each as He is for me and you</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God gave His grace to the poor in spirit to see</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The heirs to His Kingdom He named in thee</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">His Promised House for those who love His decrees</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A faithful place for the poor to eternally conceive</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Wig&#8217;s Word of God Today 2-15-2012 </strong><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">God&#8217;s saving justice is never served by human anger; so do away with all impurities and remnants of evil. Humbly welcome the Word, which has been planted in you and can save your souls. But you must do what the Word tells you and not just listen to it and deceive yourselves. James 1:20-22</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">James 1:19-27, Psalm 15 &amp; Mark 8:22-26</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">It’s hard to do- not get angry, right? We all have anger responses from people or situations caused by individuals who would readily agree that they are not even a part of our lives. It’s how we settle this feeling in our heart that determines the impact God’s Word has on our being. The old adage “<em>sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me</em>” comes to mind but in as much as we think we all know words do hurt. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Word of God has instilled in the heart of mankind a forgiving grace, if you will an example to follow by the love Christ displayed when He took the sin of humanity and covered it with His Blood on the Cross. James reminds us today we must take action in embracing the Word of God in every instance our lives have to offer. Practice knowing God’s Truth and see the loving embrace Christ will fill your heart with. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">“<em>But anyone who looks steadily at the perfect Law of Freedom and keeps to it &#8212; not listening and forgetting, but putting it into practice &#8212; will be blessed in every undertaking. Nobody who fails to keep a tight rein on the tongue can claim to be religious; this is mere self-deception; that person&#8217;s religion is worthless. Pure, unspoilt religion, in the eyes of God our Father, is this: coming to the help of orphans and widows in their hardships, and keeping oneself uncontaminated by the world</em>.” James 1:25-27</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We pray by God, His Son and His Spirit to follow Your Word LORD in every instance our lives accomplish. We continue our Novena of prayers for Robert M. in NJ. We pray for my son Allen Thomas who celebrates his 26</span><sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: small;"> birthday today. We pray for healing in faith, hope and love of the United States of America. We pray for “40 Days of Life” to close abortion clinics. We pray for the Emmaus Team in NJ. We pray for LIFE FM. We pray for our spouses, children, family, friends, and the unknown Christ-like people we pray with every day. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Deceive not yourself with abuse</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What reflects in the Book of Life</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Is action to take to avoid strife</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Not to forget each and every line</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">But to live the work of God’s Divine</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The Perfect Law is your hope</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Keeping the Truth to truly cope</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Practice what you preach to show</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">His blessing every undertaking will know</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Speaking ugly shows lack of faith</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Non-religious act of ugly hate</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Self-deceived void of His grace</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A faith wallowing in disgrace</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Pure love of God reflects His Truth</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A mirror of action to Eternally use</span></p>

<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">Blessed is the man who perseveres in temptation, for when he has been proved he will receive the Crown of Life that he promised to those who love him. James 1:12</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size: small;">He said to them, “Do you still not understand?” Mark 8:21</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">James 1:12-18, Psalm 94 &amp; Mark 8:14-21</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The day of love can turn into a day of temptation for those who allow the desires of life to penetrate their soul and become like old yeast to corrupt the mind to follow malice and wickedness. Jesus spoke to the Apostles about the corruptive action of leaven as a symbol of the evil dispositions both of the Pharisees and of Herod toward Jesus. The disciples of Jesus are warned against sharing such rebellious attitudes toward Jesus by stating, “<em>Do you still not understand</em>?” Mark 8:21 Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 5:8 to celebrate only with sincerity and truth. “<em>Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and Truth</em>.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Paul describes the man who can persevere through temptation as “<em>blessed</em>” ultimately receiving the “<em>Crown of Life</em>” for his patience, commitment and love towards the people of your life especially God. Paul reminds us that we are never tempted by God for “<em>for God is not subject to temptation to evil</em>” nor does He place temptation in our midst to create desire. Paul explains, “<em>Rather, each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire</em>.” James 1:13-14 When you are tempted by your own desire to fulfill events in a fantasy world, stick to embracing the Truth in God’s Word to discover how God will bless you with the “<em>Crown of Life</em>.” “<em>Let Your Faith</em> <em>Light the World</em>” as the new flag I have for my Prayer Point displays and all will see your light as God’s Light. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">We pray by God, His Son and His Spirit to persevere and overcome any temptation for the Glory of You LORD. We continue our Novena of prayers for Robert M. in NJ. We pray for healing in faith, hope and love of the United States of America. We pray for “40 Days of Life” to close abortion clinics. We pray for the Emmaus Team in NJ. We pray for LIFE FM. We pray for our spouses, children, family, friends, and the unknown Christ-like people we pray with every day. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Bless His Truth for America,</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Romans 8:28</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;<em>Spirit led God inspired Christ fed</em>&#8220;</span></p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">Birth by the Word of Truth our Right- James 1:12-18</span></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">You are blessed if you avoid temptation</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A perseverance of Truth laid within</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Your heart donning the Crown of Life</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As promised to those who love Him</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">You can’t say your temptation comes from God</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">God Himself tempts no one to sin</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">For God is not subject to temptation to evil</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Each of us is enticed by our own desire to win</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Once conceived it will rise into indulgence</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Where sin will reach a height of death</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Do not be deceived by evil desires</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">They will account for a flame in Hell at best</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Every Perfect Gift comes from above</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">A sprinkling from the Father of Lights</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">No shadow caused by change in firstfruits</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Birth by the Word of Truth our Right</span></p>
