“One Spirit with Him” 10-27-09

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in me today. ... “But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him.... Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body” (1 Corinthians 6:17-20). Unite my heart to Your heart, my mind to Your mind, my will to Your will. Let me become one spirit with You. Where Your thoughts are still higher than my thoughts and Your ways are still higher than my ways, change mine to align with Yours. Change my spirit to align with Your Spirit. It’s already done in heaven—“in the heavenly places,” in the heavenly realm, where I am already in Christ and Christ is in me, seated at the right hand of the Father, and I already have been blessed “in Christ with every spiritual blessing” (Ephesians 1:3). Let it now be done on earth—in this earthly realm, where I live out my life day by day and choice by choice, in the grace that You give through the sacrifice of Your blood and the power of Your name—as it is in heaven. Be glorified in my body and my soul and my spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Encourage me when I walk in the ways that lead to life. Convict me when I don’t. Help me hear Your voice and sense the leading of Your Spirit, guiding my thoughts and desires in trusting surrender to Yours, saying, “This is the way; walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21). By the mercy of Your grace and the power of Your love, I am not my own. I am Yours. I’ve been bought with a price, at the cross of Christ. You gave Your body for me so that I could give my body to You, as a temple of Your Holy Spirit to live forever in me, making me one spirit with You. Hallelujah! Thank You, Jesus! Let me live this day and my life in the truth of Your Word and the power of Your Spirit to the glory of Your Name. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Friends, please join us for these upcoming Messiah Ministries' Events at our home base in Lexington, Kentucky (and please spread the word): Nov 12-14: The Fountain School of Spiritual Ministry -- Level II is a focused time of teaching, mentoring, discipleship, personal ministry, equipping, worshipping and prayer led by Tommy Hays and a teaching team of experienced prayer ministers. We will continue to study and experience a Biblical perspective of the ministry of healing and wholeness of spirit, soul and body, and apply the foundational principles of the Kingdom of God for prayer ministry. The course combines dynamic classroom teaching in a small group setting with personal hands-on experience, as students receive personal ministry and are guided in ministry for others. Level II gives deeper experience, opportunity, and practice in healing prayer ministry than our Level I Course. Craig Marsh, gifted by God with the spiritual gift of miracles (1 Corinthians 12:10) will be with us for the last two nights and a healing service.
