Morning by Morning, February 1 - "Not in Word, but in Power"
Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are my Lord and Savior, my Healer and Deliverer, my Good Shepherd and Best Friend. I love You, Lord, because You first loved me. ...
"For the Kingdom of God is not in word but in power" (1 Corinthians 4:20, NKJ).
You never intended the proclamation of Your Word to be separated from the power of Your Word. You never intended us to settle for the Word of God to be a just a historical Book of empty promises for our lives today.
In the Kingdom of God, the Word of God is manifested by the power of God. And Your power on behalf of us is an expression of Your love for us - Your power to save us with eternal life, healing, deliverance, and all the wholeness and freedom You provided for us to have through the sacrifice of the Blood of the Lamb (Isaiah 53:4-5, fulfilled in Christ, Matthew 8:16-17). "The Lord has made known His power to save!" (Psalm 98:2, NCV)
Yes, Lord. Let Your Kingdom come! Let Your will be done! Here on earth, as it is in heaven, with the promises of the Word of God manifested in the demonstration of the power of God. You are the Word made flesh; and You are alive and mighty, displaying the power and the glory of Your Word in our lives and throughout the earth. This is the Gospel of the Kingdom of God - "it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who has faith" (Romans 1:16). And there is no salvation - no eternal life, no healing or deliverance, no wholeness or freedom - in no other name but the name of Jesus (Acts 4:12).
Praise You, Lord God Almighty - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - for Your Word and for Your power. You are "mighty to save!" (Isaiah 63:1) In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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



My friend, may you experience the full power of the Word of God as He manifests His Kingdom in your life. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!


An Astounding Night! Thank you for praying for us last night. We ran out of notebooks when over 80 people came for our first night of our first School of Ministry forLevel 1 Sozo Inner Healing Prayer Ministry Training through Rapha God Ministries in San Antonio (www.raphagodministries.com). And we were so encouraged and overwhelmed by the Lord's favor when Max Lucado came up to speak kind and powerful words of affirmation and encouragement over us, like a father's blessing as a spiritual father of this city. Praise God!


I'm really excited to be speaking on The Healing Nature of Jesus during "An Evening of Healing" with Max Lucado at Oak Hills Church, at the main Crownridge Campus in San Antonio Wednesday Night, February 6 at 7pm. Please come join us if you can (www.oakhillschurch.com).
