Morning by Morning, September 18 - “Kings and Priests” of Our God

 

Morning by Morning, September 18 - “Kings and Priests” of Our God   Good morning, Lord Jesus. King of Kings and Lord of Lords, come rule and reign in my heart and every moment of my day (Revelation 19:16). ...   “John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:   “Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.   “To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. “Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.   “‘I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty’” (Revelation 1:4-8).   The Apostle John wrote these words from an island prison in exile from the world. But his heart was free, his faith was strong, his hope was secure as a citizen of Heaven and a son of God.   John was confident in his identity and declared the same of us--we are “kings and priests” to our God. “Kings” because we’ve been entrusted with dominion in our spheres of influence in this world under the authority of the One who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. “Priests” because we’ve been made holy by the Blood of the Lamb who has cleansed us from our sins that we might enter into the holy place of the very Presence of our God as we worship in spirit and truth.   As we read and hear these Words, as we embrace and live this Truth, we are “blessed” by God and anointed by the Holy Spirit as “kings and priests” (v. 3). And our hearts are filled with faith and love of the One “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty!   One day You will be “coming in the clouds, and every eye will see (You).” But every moment of every day between now and that day to come, we can invite You to come in our hearts, to rule and reign in our lives--secure in our identity and fulfilling our destiny in You. To You, Lord God--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--“be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Tommy, may you be blessed with the confidence and security of your identity as a "king and priest" of our God through Jesus Christ, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, September 12 - “He Will Say ‘Here I AM’”

 

Morning by Morning, September 12 - “He Will Say ‘Here I AM’”   Good morning, Lord Jesus. I speak out Your name over every area of my life and bring every area of my life under the authority of Your name (Philippians 2:9). ...   “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am’” (Isaiah 58:6-9).   O Lord, I want to hear You say “Here I AM” when I cray out. I want to know that You see my needs, that You know my struggles, that You’re with me in my battles, that You are for me and with me, guiding me and empowering me into all You have for me and desire to do through me.   So give me a right heart. Develop in me a right character. Form right motives in my desires and right thinking in my mind. Give me Your perspective of who I am, of who You are in me, and the priorities You have for me as I now go about the moments of my day.   Crucify the selfishness of my flesh. Deliver me from evil and pull down the strongholds of pride and self-centeredness. Forgive me for wasting Your resources and the time You’ve entrusted to me during this small sliver of time You’ve entrusted to me on this side of Heaven in the ways that don’t align with Your will and Your ways. And thank You for the opportunities You’ve given me to be in the flow of Your Spirit and the center of Your will--as best as I can and all by Your grace.   As I seek to begin this day with You renewing a right spirit within me, let Your Light “break forth like the morning” and let Your glory be my “rear guard.” Let Your “righteousness” go before me because You’ve set things right within me by the power of Your grace and the mercy of Your love. In the power and authority of Your name, let bonds of wickedness be released, heavy burdens be lifted, crippling yokes be broken, healing spring forth speedily, and the oppressed be set free! All for Your glory! All in the way You have chosen! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be empowered in alignment with the Lord's heart and perspective to live out this day for His glory by the power of His grace in your life, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, September 9 - “Exceedingly Abundantly” More on Our Pakistan Ministry Trip!

 

Morning by Morning, September 9 - “Exceedingly Abundantly” More on Our Pakistan Ministry Trip! Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be at the center of my heart and every moment of my day. ... “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen” (Ephesians 3:20-21).   We’ve just returned home from our Pakistan ministry trip, where we saw You move in such power of Your love and confirm Your Word with signs and wonders in the authority of Your name. All along the way -- in the streets, in the homes, in the churches, at the brick kiln compound where many were trapped in bonded slavery, in the rental car, in our outdoor gatherings where we witnessed such hunger for more of You. You were healing hearts and bodies, mending relationships and restoring hope, changing mindsets and breaking chains of bondage, pulling down strongholds and replacing them with peace and joy and love. “Exceedingly abundantly above all that we (could) ask or think!”   But on our last night outside a village on a plot of land among the fields, the people came by foot, motorcycles, rickshaws, and busloads to the largest gathering our ministry has ever witnessed for our Jesus Healer & Savior Crusade at Pattoki, Pakistan. Over 3 thousand came! Maybe closer to 4 or even 5 thousand, some have estimated. And probably over 700 opened their hearts to Jesus for the first time! I had to ask twice to make sure they understood the question because so many responded to the invitation to join in the prayers of salvation!   And many come up on the platform to give immediate testimonies to miracles among the prayers for healing and deliverance -- like the man who testified he was lame but now could walk and showed us all! Wow! Praise You, Lord Jesus! Many were still lining up to give testimony, as we had to get away to catch our plane for home, which we will be excited to see on the videos being filmed by our host team!   Only You could do all that! And You did in ways that were so much more than we could have ever imagined! You’re our Healer and our Savior! Many there among the predominate faith of that nation know You as Healer and Prophet, but that night many also came to know You as Savior! Praise God! And maybe the best of all was to see such joy on their faces as they were filled with Your Spirit to carry it all home to their families and villages and everywhere Your Fires of Revival will continue to burn!   Thank You, Heavenly Father! Praise You, Lord Jesus! Keep moving in power and love, peace and joy, Holy Spirit! You are the God of more! You are the God of “exceedingly abundantly above all that we (could) ask or think!” All glory and honor to You “forever and ever! Amen!” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you experience the exceedingly, abundantly more of God, as He fills you with His Spirit and pours out His love and peace and joy through you, wherever you are and everywhere He sends you, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day! Thank you for keeping us in prayer as Rocio and I as the Lord sent us to the nation of Pakistan on our 10 day ministry trip there! Note: My computer crashed on our trip, so I was not able to send out my devotionals, but God has provided a way for me to resume!
