Morning by Morning,
January 9 - Open and Shut Doors of God
Good morning, Lord
Jesus. Let me be single-minded and wholehearted in my intentionally-directed
focus on You alone in these first moments of my morning. ...
"... These are the
words of the holy One, the true One, who has the key of David, who opens and no
one will shut, who shuts and no one opens: 'I know your works. Look, I have set
before you an open door, which no one is able to shut'... " (Revelation
3:7-8).
Lord, You are holy and
true. Your heart is good and Your motives are pure. You can be trusted in every
way with everything. You see the end from the beginning and the beginning from
the end ... and everything in between.
And You know me. You
know every desire I'll ever have, every thought I'll ever consider, every choice
I'll ever make. You know the thoughts and intents of my heart better than I can
ever discern or understand. You know what's of the Spirit and what's of the
flesh; You know what comes out of selflessness and what comes out of
selfishness. You rightly discern and You rightly judge, for You alone are the
holy and righteous One.
So I trust You and I
ask You to open the doors before me that align with Your perfect will and plan
for me. And I trust You and ask You to shut the doors that do not. In all
honesty I admit I have much to learn, but this much I know: You know what's
best. And I want Your best. It's in Your best for my life that I'll know the
fullness of Your peace and joy for me and everyone around me. That's the desire
of my heart, as best as I can discern and believe; and that's my prayer. So I
believe by faith that will and that has come to pass (Psalm 21:2). In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love
of Jesus, Tommy
Hays
Friends, I
pray you will trust God with all your heart to go before You opening
and shutting doors to help direct your steps into His perfect will for your
life. May you know the fullness of all His peace and joy for you and all those
around you. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
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 elsehere, 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 frienship!
