Jesus the World Equestrian 9-29-10

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I exalt You, O Lord—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Be lifted up as I bow down to begin my day in worship and prayer with You. … “Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse! Its rider is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name inscribed that no one knows but Himself. He is clothed in a robed dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, wearing fine linen, white and pure, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On His robe and on His thigh He has a name inscribed, ‘King of kings and Lord of lords’” (Revelation 19:11-16). Lord Jesus, You are an equestrian. And one day You’ll return from heaven riding a white horse with all the equestrian armies of heaven following behind You on their white horses. It will be a day of great joy for those who have believed You and trusted You with their lives through the horrendous days of tribulation and persecution of Your faithful ones on the earth. And it will be a day of great judgment for those who rejected Your grace, defamed Your name, and tormented Your people (v. 19:17-21). But every day between this day and that day—“the great and terrible day of the Lord”—Your heart is open wide and Your arms are stretched out farm, for all to come and embrace the grace of Your mercy and love (Malachi 4:1-6). “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed” (2 Peter 3:9-10). Your heart is for all, Your mercy and love and grace is for all—for all who would humble themselves to call on Your name and embrace Your as Savior and Lord of all (Acts 2:21). For sixteen days, the World Equestrian Games is being hosted here at the Kentucky Horse Park between Lexington and Georgetown, Kentucky. Riders and owners of some of the world’s most talented horses have come to Kentucky from the nations of the world. Visitors have come from the nations and from across our nation to experience the games and to experience our state. And through Affiliated International Ministries and all of our churches and ministries that have planned and united as the Body of Christ in our city, we are praying that all our visitors will also experience Jesus and the glory of the Presence of God in these days. As they watch the equestrians of the world, may they also see the Equestrian of the World come riding on Your white horse in the mighty rushing wind of Your Holy Spirit into their hearts and ours. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays I'll be leaving on Friday for our ministry trip to Wales. Heather and Bob Butler of Hidden Treasures Ministries in Wales have invited us and provided for us to preach and pray at revival meetings and prayer gatherings all over the country in our Encounter Wales! revival campaign. If you'd like to be on our interactive intercessory prayer team, please let me know and I'll get you on our email prayer team list. Thank you and God bless you!
