Courage, Unity, and Sacrifice - September 19

Morning by Morning, September 19 - Courage, Unity, and Sacrifice

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are the Commander of the Army of the Lord; and I arise to report for duty and embrace my mission for this day. ...


"So Gideon and the hundred who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set the watch; and they blew the trumpets and broke the smashed the jars that were in their hands. So the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the jars, holding in their left hands the torches, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow; and they cried, 'A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!' Every man stood in his place all around the camp, and all the men in the camp ran; they cried out and fled" (Judges 7:19-21).


Your Holy Spirit is strategically aligning us and spiritually inspiring us with Your divine strategies and heavenly wisdom to defeat the enemies of our souls and advance the Kingdom of our God. You are uniting us as one with those You have chosen to take their stand with us. You are stirring up our courage in the confidence of Your power and the sword of Your Spirit of truth to accomplish every mission You've set before us. And You are bringing us to the place where the clay jars of sin and flesh are broken before God so that the light of Your glory can arise and shine through us.


In that spirit of courage and unity and sacrifice, You are fanning a flame in the heart of the army of the Lord that You are calling, equipping, and empowering. And in that spirit, a shout of victory rises up in our hearts with the high praises of God in our mouths! "In all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us" (Romans 8:37). And in whatever battles we face, "let God rise up, let His enemies be scattered; let those who hate Him flee before Him.... But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy!" (Psalm 68:1-3). In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.


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


Friends, the Lord gave me these words -- Courage, Unity, Sacrifice -- when I preached the Sunday morning message of 9-11 in Pennsylvania, near the field where one of the four planes crashed on that day 10 years ago. I shared those words again this past weekend with the men at our Men's Retreat at Living Waters near Bravard, North Carolina. I believe they are words the Holy Spirit is stirring the heart of the Body of Christ in this hour. So I pray this for you and for for me, as we advance together in the Kingdom of God. God bless you!
