Tragedies into Testimonies, Challenges into Character, Griefs into Glory - July 5, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, July 5 - Tragedies into Testimonies, Challenges into Character, Griefs into Glory
 
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I need You -- here in my heart and every moment of my day -- God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit -- three Persons of One God and One God who is always with me and even abiding within me (Romans 8:9). ...
 
In these days of such tragedy and loss, so many battles and challenges, ever-increasing darkness in which to shine with the Light who lives within us, I’m mindful of how You are at work in it all and despite it all (Romans 8:28). You don’t “will” it all, but You certainly “use” it all. And You “use” it all to make us all more like You (Romans 8:29).
 
You’re developing our character. You’re teaching us to love, helping us learn to trust. You’re empowering us to overcome and equipping us to help others overcome on our life-long, but one-time journey through this broken and fallen world where we grow in the grace to “walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).
 
“Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Romans 5:1-5).
 
How great our Father’s love for us. How amazing our Savior’s grace for us. How deeply our Comforter cares for us.
 
You turn our tragedies into testimonies, our challenges into character, and our griefs into glory. “Christ in (us), the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
 
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God -- with every Dimension of Your Being, You are at work in every dimension of our being (Philippians 2:13). You’re taking all we go through to draw us nearer to You (James 4:6), and taking all we face to bring us “face to face” with You (1 Corinthians 13:12). For You’re the God who loves us, who is always with us, and who is always at work within us and working with all that comes against us to make us more like You each day (2 Corinthians 3:18). In Jesus’ name I pray.
 
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you embrace the God who is with you and developing His character within you through all you endure and overcome, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Pakistan Ministry Report from our Last Outdoor Crusade Last Week:
We praise God for this exciting Praise Report of salvations, healing, and deliverance, with a few testimonies from our ministry partners in Pakistan, Pastor Rizwan and Mehwish Fazal:

“Thank the Lord 295 Souls are Saved! One boy around 17 years had much shoulder pain from one and half years but after your prayer no more pain. One lady had a condition of fluid coming out from her chest but after prayer she has no more. One 55 year old person had heart problem with 50 percent heart working but after prayer and check up reports next day to doctor thank the Lord 90 percent of his heart is working very well. Thank the Lord Jesus and thank you for your prayers!”

We Praise God for all He is doing in Pakistan! Keep joining us in prayer for Revival 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!
