Morning by Morning, May 12 - Impartation of the Gifts of the Spirit Good morning, Lord Jesus. Fill my heart with Your Spirit, as I begin my day pressing into Your Presence -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ... “For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established -- that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me” (Romans 1:11). One of the ways that You establish us and strengthen us and encourage is through the impartation of spiritual gifts, one to another. What You’ve poured into us, You also desire to pour through us -- “distributing to each one individually as (You) will” (1 Corinthians 12:11). “There are diversities of gifts, by the same Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:4). In Christ, we all have the Holy Spirit abiding with us, so that You can do anything You desire to do through us at any time You desire (Romans 8:9). And at the same time, You also express Your spiritual gifts through us in the particular ways and for the particular purposes You have called us and send us forth into our world as “the body of Christ” (1 Corinthians 12:27). You call us, even command us by Your Word, to “earnestly desire” spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:31) and not “be ignorant” of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:1). And seeking Your heart and Your nature, Your Word commands us, “Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that (we) may prophesy” (1 Corinthians 14:1). This weekend, I’m so blessed and humbled and honored to come to be graduating from my second year of the MorningStar Ministries’ School of the Prophets. Tomorrow, we’ll be receiving words of encouragement and prayers of impartation from Rick Joyner, Chris Reed, Tom and Mary Anne Hardiman, and other teachers and leaders of the ministry, where we’ve been learning to hear Your voice and speak Your words to encourage and comfort and build up Your people by the leading of Your Holy Spirit through our various ministries (1 Corinthians 14:3). Lord, I’m hungry to receive all You have for me - hungering and thirsting for more of You (Matthew 5:6; Ephesians 5:18; Isaiah 55:1). And I’m ready to obey all You desire to do through me. “Freely (I) have received, freely (I desire to) give” (Matthew 10:8 and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8). By the power of Your grace and Your Spirit, fulfill Your Word in me and in all who make themselves available to You as expressions of Your character and vessels of Your authority as the body of Christ in our world: “The end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for ‘love will cover a multitude of sins.’ Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the utterances of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen!” (1 Peter 4:7-11) In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be filled with an impartation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as you pursue all God has for you, according to His will and plan for your life and ministry of His love, in Jesus' name.
