“Bear Fruit, Fruit that Will Last” - August 31, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, August 31 - “Bear Fruit, Fruit that Will Last”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be at the center of my heart and in the middle of every moment of my day. ...

 

“You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask Him in My name” (John 15:16).

 

By the moving of Your Holy Spirit in my heart and through this ministry You’ve entrusted to me, I want the moments of my days to “bear fruit” and bear “fruit that will last.” I believe You’ve appointed me, as one of Your disciples, as one of the children of my Father, “to go” in the power and the Presence of Your Spirit to minister the healing love of God everywhere You send me, whether at home or abroad. And one of the expressions of that love is to see people set free from all that would hold them back from being all You created them to be -- free to be like Jesus.

 

My wife Rocio and I have just finished our last assignment “to go” and minster Your healing love in Your power among the people of Mexico. I made it home last night and she’s still there a little longer, going over to spend some extended time with family and friends in the community where she grew up in central Mexico. We were so blessed to have many of them come over to join us in some of our ministry time. Her brother was one of the twenty souls who were saved last Sunday morning! Praise You, Lord!

 

We praise You for the many salvations, healing of spirit, soul, and body, freedom from spiritual oppression, and fresh baptisms of the Holy Spirit in the Fire of God, with awakening of spiritual gifts in the communities of Torreon, Patzcuaro, and Morelia. And we’re excited to go again as You lead us and appoint us to go and make disciples (Matthew 28:20) in the power of Your Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).

 

On our last evening there, as we were hearing some of the testimonies of what You had done in the lives of the people, we were especially moved to hear some stories of the “fruit that will last” -- fruit that remained and was continuing to grow from some who had received ministry on our last trip there seven months ago. Some of the fruit of this kind of ministry of “inner healing” -- what I call “healing from the inside out” in spirit, soul, and body -- springs up suddenly, even miraculously. Like the woman who testified last weekend that she was suddenly, miraculously able to understand English after forgiving her father who had put the wrong kind of pressure on her as a child to learn! But most of the fruit of this kind of ministry comes little by little, layer by layer, step by step, as Your Spirit changes hearts and renews minds to transform Your people “from glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18).

 

So it was so good to hear what You had done, as we heard of deeper peace, fuller joy, greater freedom, growing confidence, and spiritual awakening that was continuing to mature in experience and expression over time. Praise God! We praise You for the testimonies of “fruit that will last!” and for the stories of Your glory that we’ve not even heard yet and maybe never will until we stand before You in Heaven. But right now, our hearts sing with joy for all You have done! Our hearts are full of praise for answering the prayers of so many who have prayed for this ministry of the healing love of God.

 

You said, “My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become My disciples” (John 15:8). And You want us to know that “(You) have said these things to (us) so that (Your) joy may be in (us) and that (our) joy may be complete” and full (John 15:11).

 

Our joy is complete and full! And we pray that all who join with us in prayer, in encouragement, and in ministry, will be filled up and overflowing with Your joy, as each of our lives “bear fruit, fruit that will last” in the different ways You call each of us and send each of us “to go” -- whether in our prayers or with our suitcases -- in the authority of Your name and the power of Your Spirit! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you be filled with joy for the fruit that will last that the Holy Spirit will bear through your life in all the ways the Lord calls you and appoints you, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you!
