Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are the Resurrection and the Life. Come live in me and live through me today. …
“For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost” (Luke 10:10).
You didn’t just wait for the lost to come to You. You went to them. You sought them out. You didn’t judge them or shame them; You reached out to them, speaking the truth in the love of God with them. And they heard what You said because they saw what You lived.
It seems Your ministry was not limited to building a nice building or preparing a beautiful service of worship in a welcoming atmosphere. You spoke in the synagogues, but You also searched in the streets. Love compelled You. Mercy overwhelmed You. You wanted all to know they were loved by God, created for a life of so much more than they knew.
And we are Your Body. We have Your Spirit. So let us not merely sit back in our buildings and services, waiting for the lost to find us. Let love compel us to go seek them out, for them to see Your heart in us for them. At work, at school, next door, in the store—open our eyes to see them, our hearts to love them, and our mouths to share with them the saving love of God. Just like somebody shared Your love with us. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
Friends, please keep me in prayer this week, as I go out to the Refuge for Women to teach our School of Spiritual Ministry with their prayer team and leadership team. This is a powerful ministry dedicated to the rescue of women from the adult entertainment industry, to help them find Jesus and be equipped to live a life that honors Him in the power of His Spirit (www.RefugeForWomen.org ). And like our ministry in many places at home and abroad, Your prayers and financial support for Messiah Ministries enable us to minister to others who need our help. Freely we’ve received and freely we give. Please prayerfully consider partnering with us in our ministry together to those who need to know the healing love of God in Jesus Christ ( www.messiah-ministries.org ).
Come to the Fountain This Friday Night! April 15th, 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. We meet monthly in the Chapel at Centenary UMC, 2800 Tates Creek Rd, Lexington, Kentucky at 7 PM. We have various worship leaders from our area lead us in worship each month. This month, Jeff Green will be leading in worship and Linda Dulin be leading in prayer. All are welcome!
