“Mantle of Revival” - May 31, 2022

Morning by Morning, May 31 - “Mantle of Revival”
 
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I welcome You and embrace You, here in my heart and every moment of my day – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ...
 
I woke up extra early this morning and couldn’t sleep, so I read an email from Dutch Sheets with his morning devotional today from “Give Him Fifteen, An Appeal to Heaven.” He was speaking of a dream about revival from his friend and prophetic intercessor, Gina Gholston. As she spoke of Evan Roberts and Welsh Revival and Moriah Chapel and a “mantle of revival” and You wanting to impart that mantle for travailing prayer and revival to us in our generation, but even growing greater, my spirit starting jumping up and down inside of me like crazy! No time to sleep! Time to get up and pray! ...
 
You’re stirring up in my memory my ministry trip to Wales about twelve years ago in October of 2010, hosted by with my great friend and prophetic intercessor, Heather Butler, who lives at Holyhead, just across the channel from Ireland in Anglesey, Wales. I preached and prayed, while Heather sang prophetic songs over the people, over the churches, and over the land everywhere we went. One of the most exciting parts of that ministry trip for me was our three glorious days in the home town of Evan Roberts, in Loughor, Wales, where I was so honored and blessed to literally sleep in his bedroom (now a B & B!), pray in the Moriah Chapel Sunday School room at the pew where he prayed for revival, and then preach from his pulpit in Moriah Chapel in a rare and miraculous, as Heather sang over the people!
 
Praise You, Jesus! Praise You for every mantle of revival and impartation of passion to join Your people to see salvation, healing, deliverance, and a wave of revival in our generation like the world has never seen!
 
I’m remembering an old man, “Old Harold” they called him, back at Heather’s home church in northern Wales the Sunday morning before we started our ministry journey through Wales and down to Moriah Chapel in southern Wales. Harold’s mother was saved through the ministry of Evan Roberts in the great Welsh Revival. They called it “The Singing Revival.” As soon as I met him, I kneeled down and asked “Old Harold” to pray for me to carry that Spirit of Revival from Wales, along the lines of Paul’s prayer for impartation in Romans Chapter 1:
“For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established” (Romans 1:11 NKJV). “Some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord” (NLT).
 
I just now dug up my Morning by Morning prayer devotional from that next day, twelve years ago, and I pray it back to You now, Lord, with that same longing for revival in my spirit today:
 
Morning by Morning, October 11, 2010 - “The Time of Singing has Come!” 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are great and mighty, merciful and kind. I honor You and welcome You into my thoughts and desires and every moment of my day. …
 
“My Beloved speaks and says to me: ‘Arise my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land’” (Song of Solomon 2:10-12).
 
You are the God who gives us voice to sing Your praise and declare Your goodness. After the Sunday morning message yesterday in Anglesey, Wales, a woman came up for prayer for persistent pain in her throat and damage from many years of smoking cigarettes. She could speak alright, but she hadn’t been able to sing in years, which had been a great passion of her heart.
 
After we prayed, Your Spirit stirred in my heart to ask her to sing. And she did! With each verse, her voice grew stronger! By the time she came to the verse of Your healing power, the whole church was filled with her voice and Your praises! As she cried with tears of thanksgiving for Your mercy and love, she said this was such a wonderful day--not only because of her miraculous healing, but also because her husband had come with her to church for the first time in a long time! She said he wasn’t saved, but she knew he’d heard God’s Word today and it would be a deep seed planted in his heart that would surely grow.
 
I looked and saw him standing at the back of the church and waved him up to us. I asked him if he heard how God healed his wife’s voice. He said Yes! Then she said something about him singing with her in the past and how wonderful it would be for them to sing together again.
 
I asked him if he sang, and he didn’t answer. In the convergence of our Welsh and American accents, the wife thought I was asking her husband if he was saved and repeated my question to him in her version. So I asked, “Can you sing?” He said, “Yes.” I asked, “Are you saved?” He paused and said, “I think so.”
 
I said, “Well, you can know so. Would you like me to lead you in a prayer to ask Jesus into your heart?” He said, “Yes, I would” and prayed with me. Once again the church was filled with our voices and Your praises! No doubt the angels joined in with their voices and praises as well: “Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents!” (Luke 15:10).
 
They speak of the great revival in Wales in the early 1900’s as “The Singing Revival.” And just before my message, I asked an older man whose mother was saved in that revival and imparted to her son that revival spirit that’s never wavered for all these years to come pray for us to have that spirit.
 
O Lord, You are answering our prayers! You are releasing the spirit of revival in our hearts and in this land and throughout the earth. Heavenly Father, Your Holy Spirit is preparing a holy Bride for the coming of Your Son. Let us be a passionate people, singing to You our songs of thanksgiving for Your mercy and love, filling the earth with our voices of Your praises. “The time of singing has come!” (Song of Solomon 2:12) In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
 
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
 
(That morning, I included this following note for my devotional readers at the end of my prayer)
 
Friends, please keep us in prayer during our time in Wales and England this month for our Encounter Wales! ministry trip. We are encountering and experiencing God among the people in many diverse ways. We're so grateful to Heather Butler and her husband Bob of Hidden Treasures Ministries and Honey from the Rock Healing Rooms of Wales for making the arrangements and provision for us to come and minister and to come and receive of the impartation for revival from the heart of this land to share in ministry to the nations and at home.
 
Our team will travel all over to towns and villages in Wales and to Oxford, Birmingham, and Plymouth England to preach, pray, and love the people of this land, as we share the Good News of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. And we're so grateful to you, standing with us in prayer, encouragement, and provision that makes it possible to fulfill the calling and vision of Messiah Ministries at home and abroad, "Preparing the way of the Lord ... Ministering the healing love of God." God bless you, my friend!
 
Wales has deep spiritual roots. The great Welsh Revival, in about 1904-1906, swept the nation and in time, impacted the world. It began as a simple time of fervent prayer and testimonies of repentance, led by a young man named Evan Roberts. I'll get to speak and share at Moriah Chapel, his home church where the Revival began humbly; and I'm excited about going to drink deeply from that ancient well of world-changing revival.
 
Many also believe the Welsh Revival was a precursor to the famous Azusa Street Revival in California that ushered in the 20th century Pentecostal movement. Let's pray for revival and awakening in the hearts of the people and in ours. If you'd like to be part of our interactive, intercessory prayer team, please send a note to Linda back at home, our pastor of prayer ministries, coordinating our prayer team with updates, testimonies, and shared insights from prayer. God bless you!
 
Yes, Lord! I put You “in remembrance” of these things that You have done and ask You to do it again in our day! (Isaiah 43:26) “O, that You would tear open the heavens and come down!” (Isaiah 64:1). Yes, Lord! “Revive us again!” (Psalm 85:6) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!

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

My friend, may your be filled up and overflowing with the Holy Spirit, embracing a "mantle for revival" in your passionate prayers for revival in our hearts and in our land and to the ends of the earth in our generation, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Pakistan Ministry Praise Report!
We are praising God! Another Holy Spirit Outpouring during our Pakistan Ministry Open Air Crusade through our monthly internet ministry there! We had our largest gathering yet, with this exciting Praise Report from our ministry partners there, Pastor Rizwan and Mehwish Fazal:

“Thank the Lord 372 Souls are Saved and 28 Persons are Healed on the Spot!
One Person wasn’t able to walk clear from his right leg but after your Prayer he went back home by walking clearly.
One Woman had Stomach Pain from last 4 months but after doctors reports she has no more Stomach Problem.
One more big testimony, one person had stones in his gall bladder but after your Prayer Holy Spirit operated and no more stones!”

We Praise God for all He is doing in Pakistan! Each month we try to go to a different village and set up a projector screen for me to preach through Skype, with Pastor Rizwan interpreting for me and then he and his wife and the team follow up with ministry and discipleship.

Thank you so much, friends, for all your prayers and support that make this evangelistic part of our ministry possible!

Honoring Our Fallen Warriors - May 30, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, May 30 - Honoring Our Fallen Warriors
 
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I look to You and honor You -- here in these first moments of my morning and in every moment of my day. ...
 
In my nation, today is Memorial Day. We honor the men and women who fought and died for our freedom, that we can remain “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” I know some don’t; but I do.
 
They are fallen warriors. Their lives and their deaths have meaning and purpose, essential for the survival of our nation and worthy of the honor of our nation. They laid down their lives for us that we could live our lives in freedom. Freedom has a price; and they paid that price. “There is a time for war” (Ecclesiastes 3:8). And they answered the call of their time with the sacrifice of their lives.
 
As I think of them today, I also think of You. In a sense, You are our Fallen Warrior:
 
“I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously;
    horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my Strength and my Might,  
    and He has become my Salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise Him;
    my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
The Lord is a Warrior;
    the Lord is His name!” (Exodus 15:1-3)
 
The enemy of our souls did not take Your life, but You willingly laid down Your life for us (John 10:18). You are the One who is both our Fallen Warrior and our Victorious Warrior, as You poured out Your Blood for us at the Cross, and as our Father raised You from the dead for us in Resurrection Life to give You the name above every name (Philippians 2:5-11).
 
You were Fallen, that we could be forgiven. You died, that we could live in freedom -- freedom from sin, freedom from regret, freedom from everything that would hold us back from being all You created us to be. And that we could live our lives in honor -- the honor of knowing we are sons and daughters of the living God, created with meaning and purpose, to live out our destiny in You in the freedom You’ve made available to us.
 
“Thanks be to God that (we) who were slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart ... having been set free from sin” through Your sacrifice on the Cross for us! (Romans 6:17-18)
 
So this Memorial Day, as we honor the brave men and women who fought for us and died for us as fallen warriors, we also remember and honor the One who gives meaning and honor to both our lives and our deaths when our lives are entrusted to You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
  
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

My friend, I join with you to remember and honor our fallen warriors, as we remember and our Fallen and Victorious Warrior, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

It’s Ok to Ask the Questions, Led to the One Who is the Answer - May 27, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, May 27 - It’s Ok to Ask the Questions, Led to the One Who is the Answer
 
Good morning, Lord Jesus. You’re here in my heart, here in my life, here in every moment of my day -- “always with (me)” (Matthew 28:20). In You, I “live and move and have (my) being” (Acts 17:28). ...
 
In the aftermath of massacres, in the throes of wars, in the destruction of plagues, in the scarcity of famines, in the instability of financial insecurity, in the confusion of cultural chaos, and in the insanity of the destruction of moral standards, we can begin to ask Why? and Where are You? and How long?
 
It's ok to ask the questions. It’s ok to express our griefs and sorrows, our frustration and disappointments. You’re big enough to handle our questions. You’re loving enough to allow us to vent out our thoughts and feelings. I’m reminded of those very kinds of expressions from the heart of David:
 
“How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
    How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long must I bear pain in my soul
    and have sorrow in my heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
    Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
and my enemy will say, ‘I have prevailed’;
    my foes will rejoice because I am shaken” (Psalm 13:1-4).
 
And at the same time, I’m also reminded of how Your Spirit would lead David to turn his questions of You back to his trust in You, reminding him of Your faithfulness through every tragedy and battle and disappointment of his life, as he continued to express his heart in that same Psalm:

“But I trusted in Your steadfast love;
    my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord
    because He has dealt bountifully with me” (Psalm 13:5-6).
 
He didn’t ignore his pain or deny his questions. But he also didn’t get stuck there. He remembered Your faithfulness in his past and embraced Your Presence in his present. In the midst of all his questions, he chose to “rejoice in Your salvation” and “sing” of Your steadfast love and bountiful mercies.
 
You shifted his perspective. And in the shifting, You didn’t change the facts of his world at the moment, but You did change the effect of their influence on his soul.
 
O my soul, with a heart like David, I choose to lift up my heart to the Lord.
 
O my Lord, just like You did for David, shift my perspective. Remind me of Your faithfulness, refocus me on Your Presence with me right now in the present, and reassure me You’re always with me and leading me into the unfolding fullness of Your steadfast love and bountiful mercies.
 
And I pray the same for all who need that heart by Your grace, that heart like David, through whatever they’re going through today. It’s ok to ask the questions, as Your Spirit leads us to the One who is the Answer. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
  
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

My friend, may you be free to ask your questions, to express your thoughts and feelings to the Lord who leads you by His Spirit to the One who is the Answer, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
