Good morning, Lord Jesus. Your name is the name above every name (Philippians 2:9). And at Your name, the first word of my morning, I bow down in my heart and confess with my mouth that You are Lord. ...
"O that You would tear open the heavens and come down, so that the mountains would quake at Your Presence-as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil-to make Your name known to Your adversaries, so that the nations might tremble at Your Presence! When You did awesome deeds that we did not expect, You came down, the mountains quaked at Your Presence. From ages past no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, Who works for those who wait for Him" (Isaiah 64:1-4).
Your light breaks through the darkness. Your voice calms the storm. Your promises are yes and amen. Your steadfast love endures forever. But it's in Your Presence that nations tremble. It's in Your Presence that the mountains quake. And it's in Your Presence, revealed in the presence of our adversaries-our fights and frustrations, our fears and failures-that You make known Your name.
You know every battle going on in the world-all the extreme conditions of weather and war, of worry and weariness, and of all the ways our world is crying for help in the face of overwhelming waves we are powerless to withstand in our own wisdom and will. But You are God. And You are good. Your Presence is with us. Your promises are for us. And Your power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)
O Lord God Almighty. I call on Your name-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I look up to You-Creator of Heaven and Earth. I stand on Your promises and welcome Your Presence. Come and breakthrough in my life. Come and breakthrough in the lives of all who humble themselves to call on Your name in this world that needs Your help from on high. Come and do Your great and awesome deeds we did not expect. Surprise us with Your power. Surround us with Your glory. Astound us with Your steadfast love, tender mercies, and amazing grace. You are at work, as we watch and wait for You to move in Your mighty ways (Isaiah 64:4). In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
My friend, I'm praying for God to surprise You with His power in your life today, in the name of Jesus. Please pray that for me and for one another today in the agreement of prayer (Matthew 18:19).
Come to the Fountain This Friday Night! May 20th, our Messiah Ministries' monthly gathering for prayer, praise, and healing worship with the family of God as one, from many different churches and traditions under the name of Jesus. Come drink deeply from the Living Waters, to be refreshed and renewed in the Presence of God, as we worship Him and welcome Him to heal us and free us in spirit, soul, and body.
