Life Together in Love - September 14

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Draw me close, help me listen, hear my prayer. ...

"Above all, clothe yourselves in love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called into one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God" (Colossians 3:14-16).


Last night after dinner, Sylvia and I were invited to join Louise and Harry Bezzell for their home group at the Apple Hill Lodge outside Moravian Falls, North Carolina. With young and old, children included, they've been meeting together every Tuesday night for worship, prayer, encouragement, and discipleship for ten years. They asked us to share our story of our journeys of faith that led us to You and to one another. Then they asked us to pray and prophesy over every one there, from the youngest children to the elder leaders. "For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged" (1 Corinthians 14:31).


How beautiful to see the Body of Christ living life together in harmony and love. And how wonderful to be welcomed as family with a father's blessing and opportunity to share the gifts of You've given us to encourage Your Bride wherever You lead us. Thank You for touching our hearts as we sang to You and prayed for one another. Thank You for the physical healing of the one with the pain of an abscessed tooth, and thank You for the deeper changes in all of our hearts and lives that will be made manifest in our journeys to come. What a joy to know wherever we go, we're always part of one body and one family with You. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.


Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

Friends, Sylvia and I are enjoying a couple of days in the mountains at Moravian Falls, NC between our ministry engagments in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Many speak of this area as a holy place with an open heaven. May we draw near to hear the voice of the Lord on this mountain. And I pray you'll hear His voice for your life as well. God bless you!
