Go and Preach the Kingdom 4-22-10

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me start this day and every day centered in Christ, embraced by the Father, and filled afresh with the Holy Spirit. … “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:7-8, NKJV). For four nights, You have given me the honor and entrusted to me the responsibility to share Your Word from my heart, to spend and be spent in the sharing of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God among the people of a Georgia town where I’ve never been before. In the bond of Your Spirit, we worshipped together, kneeled down to pray together, hungered and thirsted for a fresh touch of Your Presence together, wept over our battles and struggles together, and laughed in the joy of the Lord together. Thank You for this gift of allowing me to love and be loved so deeply from the heart in places I’ve never, among people I’ve never known, as we open our hearts together to seek the face of the One we all long to see and yearn to know. Truly we were in Your Presence and truly our lives were changed, because we can’t help but be changed as we behold Your glory and embrace Your Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18). Let Your revival fire continue to burn in our hearts and set others ablaze with a passion for Jesus everywhere You send us to proclaim with our lips and live with our lives the coming of the Kingdom of God. “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send and who will go for Us (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)?’ And I said, ‘Here am I, send me” (Isaiah 6:8). In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Friends, thank you so much for covering us in prayer for our Revival at Villa Rica First United Methodist Church in Georgia hosted by pastor James Smith. Surely the Presence of the Lord was in that place! We'll be excited to hear more of all the Lord has done and will continue to do. I pray the same for you in the revival and renewal of Your spirit, your church, and your city, my friend!
