True “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” as Defined by God - February 28, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, February 28 - True “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” as Defined by God

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Put Your thoughts in my mind and Your desires in my heart, as I seek to begin my day grounded in Your Word and filled with Your Spirit. ...

 

Last night I was honored to give the opening prayer and remarks for a rally in our community of Fredericksburg, Texas, hosted by Moms for Liberty, encouraging our community to stand up and speak out against the tide of the culture of our day seeking to program and pervert the minds of our children. World renown investigative journalist Lara Logan, who lives and raises their children in our community, spoke with fiery passion against the false narratives and dark agendas being imposed upon our children with nice-sounding terms like “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” which are doing just the opposite to the hearts and minds of our children.

 

This morning, the Word of Scripture that Your Holy Spirit is bringing to mind to me is a picture of the true diversity and equity and inclusion You intend for every child of God in all Your creation:

 

“Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying:

 

‘You are worthy to take the scroll,

And to open its seals;

For You were slain,

And have redeemed us to God by Your blood

Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

And have made us kings and priests to our God;

And we shall reign on the earth.’

 

“Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice:

 

‘Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

To receive power and riches and wisdom,

And strength and honor and glory and blessing!’

 

“And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

 

‘Blessing and honor and glory and power

Be to Him who sits on the throne,

And to the Lamb, forever and ever!” (Revelation 5:8-13)

 

That’s a picture of the children of God, saved and redeemed by the Lamb of God, grown up to maturity in their true identity as the sons and daughters of God, worshipping You and serving You as “kings and priests to our God” in true diversity and equity and inclusion from “every tribe and tongue and people and nation!”

 

You are the One to receive all glory and power and honor and blessing -- not the governments of this world or the rulers and influencers and controllers of the world. And Your Word is what is to define gender and sexuality and marriage and life and family and morality.

 

Come, Holy Spirit, in this radical revolution of restoration to what is right and reformation into all You’ve forever desired for all the children of God created in the image of God.

 

Last night I shared a prophetic picture You gave me during the prayer time of a powder keg about to explode and a spark ready to ignite it. Lara Logan said what immediately came to her the moment I spoke it was “urgency.” Now is the time to act. Now is the time to stand up and speak out and take a stand for the sake of our children.

 

Yes, Lord. Ignite our hearts by Your Holy Spirit. Let us not be complacent, but courageous. Let us not be passive, but passionate. Let us not be intimidated, but invigorated. By the power of Your grace, let us fight for this generation entrusted to our care -- not to the care of the rulers of this age, but to our care in submission to the One who is Ruler of All for all eternity. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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

 

My friend, may you be empowered by the Holy Spirit to stand up and speak out in your community against the tide of all that would seek to confuse and control our minds and the minds of our children with the false ideas and agendas of this age, in Jesus' name. God bless you!
