Walking, Leaping, and Praising God 10-16-09

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Savior, Healer, Master, and Friend—You are Lord of my life, Lord of this day, and Lord of all. ... “But Peter said, ‘I have no silver or gold, but what I have I give you; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk.’ And he took him by the right hand and raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. Jumping up, he stood up and began to walk, and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.... While he clung to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomon’s Portico, utterly astonished. When Peter saw it, he addressed the people, ‘You Israelites, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our ancestors has glorified His servant Jesus...’ ” (Acts 3:6-13). Lord Jesus, You are glorified when we speak in Your name and obey Your will to be as Your heart and Your hands in Your healing of the brokenhearted and freedom of the bound. And our Father in heaven, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is glorified as well when we glorify Your name through our obedience and prayers to continue Your ministry of healing and love: “Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father will be glorified in the Son. If in My name you ask Me for anything, I will do it” (John 14:12-14). For the next two days, You’ve called me here to teach Your Word and minister Your love at the Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary of Estonia. As stretch out Your voice to teach and stretch out Your hand to heal, for the students and others who come, may Your name and our Father be gloried. Release the power of Your healing love into their spirits and souls and bodies, as You prepare a people who are whole and free, filled with Your Spirit, to display Your glory throughout this land and everywhere You send them, until the day of Your coming in the fullness of Your Kingdom: “May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The One who calls you is faithful and He will do this” (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24). Lord, let there be an awakening and breakthrough of revival in our hearts and this land and throughout the nations of the earth. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). And blessed are those who humble themselves in the sight of the Lord, for they will be lifted up into Your arms, into the glory of Your presence, and in the power of Your love, as You heal the brokenhearted and set the captives free (James 4:10). It will be clear to all that it’s not by our own power or piety, but by the power of God and the authority of Your name that those You touch will be walking and leaping and praising God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Friends, please keep us in prayer for this conference on healing at the Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary in Estonia (www.emkts.ee). Many have been planning, praying, and fasting for these days for a long time. I'm thrilled and honored to be here and to join in what God is doing in this land. And I join you in praying for awakening and the breakthrough of revival in your heart and your land, as you pray for mine. God bless you!
