Morning by Morning,
January 16 - Seek the Face of God
Good morning, Lord
Jesus. You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords. I lift up the gate of my
heart and open up the door of my spirit that the King of glory may come in.
...
"Who will ascend the
hill of the Lord? And who will stand in His holy place? Those who have clean
hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do
not swear deceitfully. They will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication
from the God of their salvation. Such is the company of those who seek Him, who
seek the face of the God of Jacob" (Psalm 24:3-6).
O God of Jacob - the
God who brings breakthrough from our brokenness, who brings beauty from our
ashes, who brings freedom from our bondage - the God who brings good out of
evil, light out of darkness, and righteousness out of injustice - You are my
God. And I seek You. I seek Your face; I listen for Your voice; I wait for Your
leading.... Selah ...
It seems I hear You
say, "My son, My blood cleanses your hands and My Spirit purifies your heart.
The throne of My Presence in the hill of the Lord and all are welcome who will
humble themselves to let Me cleanse them in My blood and purify them with My
Spirit. I readily embrace all who seek Me with all their heart."
Yes, Lord. Your Word
says, "When you search for Me, you will find Me; if you seek Me with all your
heart, I will let you find Me, says the Lord" (Jeremiah 29:13-14). Your Word
says we are cleansed from all unrighteousness by the blood of Jesus (1 John
1:7-9). Your Word says Your Spirit of Truth frees us from what is false and
leads us into all truth (John 16:13). And nothing can separate us from the love
of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38-39).
Lord, let my heart be
true and not deceitful. Let me lift up my soul to You and no other. I want to
ascend the hill of the Lord; I want to spend the moments of my day abiding in
Your Presence, no matter where I am or what I do. Keep my hands clean and my
heart pure. Let me be counted among the company of those who passionately seek
You with all their heart, O God of Jacob. In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love
of Jesus, Tommy
Hays
Friends, by
the power of the blood Jesus and the purifying fire of the Holy Spirit, all
through the mercy and grace of our Father in Heaven, may you have clean hands
and a pure heart in your passionate pursuit of the face of God. Please pray the
same for me. God bless you, my friend!
This Weekend,
I'll be back in Kentucky leading a Spiritual Renewal Weekend at Bagby
Memorial United Methodist Church in Grayson, Kentucky, January 18-20
with my good friend Pastor Susan Elkow (http://bagbyumc.org/events.php). Come join us if
you can!
I'm really excited to be invited
to speak on The Healing Nature of Jesus during "An
Evening of Healing" with Max Lucado at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio Wednesday
Night, February 6 at 7pm. Please come join us if you can (www.oakhillschurch.com).
Starting Thursday Night,
January 31, we will begin a 6 Week Level 1 School of Ministry
for Sozo Inner Healing Prayer Ministry Training, at our ministry office at Rapha
God Ministries in San Antonio. Please come join us; seating is limited
(www.RaphaGodMinistries.com)
In this
new season, I will still be leading Messiah Ministries, but
also joining in leadership as the Pastoral Director of Rapha God
Ministries based in San Antonio, Texas, continuing my calling of
equipping and ministry of inner healing -- healing from the inside out -- to see
God's people set from from their past and awakened to their identity and destiny
in Christ. I'll also continue to share these morning prayers, teach our 4 Day
Schools in Kentucky and elsewhere, and still travel to speak and minister as the
Lord leads with the relationships we've established and the new ones to be
formed, at home and abroad.
For
a few months of transition, the Messiah Ministries mailing address in Lexington
will remain the same, but I will be moving into my new office and the new base
for ministry will be at: 4
Dominion Drive, Building 1; San
Antonio, Texas 78257 www.RaphaGodMinistries.com
God
bless you and thank you for all your prayers and friendship!
