We Have Seen a Great Light 12-12-09

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Let your light shine in me. By the grace of God, let Your light shine through me. … “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined. You have multiplied the nation, You have increased its joy; they rejoice before You as with joy at the harvest…. For a Child has been born for us, a Son given to us” (Isaiah 9:2-3). I’m moved to tears with the joy that You would allow me to come and share this gospel of the Your Kingdom and minister Your healing love to help prepare the way of the Lord in hearts and land of the people of Pakistan. Thank You for the simple message of mercy and love You’ve given me to share with hungry hearts, Muslim and Christian alike, almost overwhelmed with the darkness of our broken, fallen world, where all hurt and we all sin and we all need the love of God revealed in Jesus the Christ. But You are Light in the midst of darkness. And You perfectly reveal the heart of God toward all who need hope and peace through the forgiving, freeing, healing love of God. For God is a good Father. And He has a Son. And His name is Jesus! Thank You, Jesus, for coming into our hearts and changing our lives. Thank You for cleansing our souls, setting us free, and making us whole. Thank You for shining Your light in our lives and through our lives to others. Though we are a people who live in great darkness—whether in our own hearts or in the heart of the world—we have seen a Great Light in You. Let the light of Your glory shine in Pakistan and America and in the nations of the earth. Let the light of Your glory shine in me and in all who will call on Your name and be saved from their sins and for Your glory. “Arise, shine! For your Light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!” (Isaiah 60:1). In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Friends, the Love was moving among us in a deeply personal and loving way by the glory of His Presence last night at our first revival meeting among Christian and Muslim people seeking the peace that only Christ can offer. Many are coming and putting their faith and hope in the Lord! Tonight I will begin preaching a series of healing revival meetings in public and in churches in the Lahore, Punjab region of Pakistan. Please keep us in your prayers and thank you for joining and sharing with me in the journey of proclaiming the good news of the gospel of the kingdom to the nations. "For the share of the one who goes down into battle shall be the same as the share of the one who stays by the baggage; they shall share alike" (1 Samuel 30:24). Many thanks to our Isaiah 35 Covenant Partners and other supporters who make this ministry possible at home and abroad to the nations. "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14).
