Led by the Spirit “By Another Road” - December 28, 2021

 

Morning by Morning, December 28 - Led by the Spirit “By Another Road”   Good morning, Lord Jesus. I’m listening for Your leading, as I wait to hear and seek to follow -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...   “And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, (the wise men) left for their own country by another road” (Matthew 2:12).   Thank You for all the ways You speak to us, all the ways You seek to communicate with us. Sometimes by the written Word of God, brought to life and applied to our lives by the Spirit of God. Sometimes by Your still, small voice in our hearts, rising up by Your thoughts in our minds. Sometimes by pictures, images, impressions, parables from the surroundings of our world around us. Sometimes by visions, trances, even by Your audible voice. And sometimes You speak “in a dream” like You did when You warned the wise men to go home “by another road.”   However, You choose to speak to us, whether to encourage us or correct us or warn us or just because You want to walk and talk in intimate relationship with us, You encourage us to listen. You said, “My sheep hear My voice. I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). Your Word says, “All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God” (Romans 8:14).   The wise men heard Your voice in a dream. We don’t know for certain their faith or religion or spiritual practices before they followed Your star to come and worship the new born “King of the Jews” (Matthew 2:2). They were known as “Magi from the east,” astrologers who sought the stars for knowledge and guidance (Matthew 2:1 NIV).   But we do know they came from afar -- whether merely far away from their own country or far away from their religious faith -- and they had a personal encounter with the Living God. They offered You the gifts of their treasure chests (v. 11). And they offered You the gifts of their worship and their hearts, as they “bowed down and worshipped (You)” (v. 11 NIV).   Then You offered them the gift of Your guidance, as You spoke to them in a dream. You saved their souls and You saved them from Herod (v. 12). And they went home “by another road” -- speaking as much of “another road” home to the East as it was “another road” home in their faith. Now they weren’t merely trusting in the stars to lead them, but trusting in the Living God.   Lord, You are the Living God -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. Speak to me. Lead me. Encourage me, correct me, warn me. But above all, help me learn to listen and embrace Your invitation to come walk and talk with You in intimate relationship with You -- wherever You lead, on whatever road, on my journey of faith. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be led by the Spirit of the Living God, traveling your journey of faith walking and talking with Him in the intimate relationship He longs to have with you, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend! Tommy & Rocio Hays | Messiah Ministries Messiah Ministries Mailing Address: 412 S.

Our Gift Remains - December 27, 2021

 

Morning by Morning, December 27 - Our Gift Remains Good morning, Lord Jesus. I seek Your face and listen for Your voice, heart to Heart and spirit to Spirit to begin my day intentionally focused on You. ... “On entering the house, (the wise men) saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they knelt down and paid Him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh” (Matthew 2:11). The wise men brought You gifts at Your birth. And You have given us Your gifts at our rebirth in Christ -- the gifts of eternal life, forgiveness of sins, healing and freedom, love and peace and joy. And the greatest Gift of all, the Gift of Your ever-abiding Presence, here in our hearts forever with You. Emmanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23). In a sense, the gifts of the wise men may speak of aspects of Your nature as our Lord and Savior. Gold was precious and valuable, sought after and cherished, speaking of the glory of Your Presence. Frankincense was offered by the priests in the temple, lifted up to God in prayer, speaking of Your place as our High Priest and filling the temple of our hearts with Your Spirit. Myrrh was used in the anointing process for burial, speaking of Your sacrifice for us when You laid down Your life for us at the cross that we could live our resurrected life in You. The wise men travelled home, having paid their homage and honor to You. But their gifts remained. And so do the gifts You’ve given us. So does the greatest Gift You’ve given us. Our Gift remains. Just as You promised, “Remain in Me, and I in you” (John 15:4 NASB). “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be filled with the Spirit of Christ, born in you as you're born again in Him, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend! Tommy & Rocio Hays | Messiah Ministries Messiah Ministries Mailing Address: 412 S.

“Let’s Go to Bethlehem!” - December 23, 2021

 

Morning by Morning, December 23 - “Let’s Go to Bethlehem!” Good morning, Lord Jesus. O come let us adore, You -- Christ the Lord. ... “When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.’ So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this Child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them” (Luke 2:15-18). When the angels announced Your birth in Bethlehem to the shepherds, their hearts leapt with excitement and anticipation. “Let’s go to Bethlehem!” they said -- maybe even chanted. And “they went with haste.” Let it be the things of God that stir our hearts. Let it be the excitement and anticipation of things of Your kingdom that move us with passion. Let it be the joy of Jesus and the amazing grace of Your goodness -- Your “good news of great joy” -- that motivates us to make known all that You are and all that You’ve done for every one of us. “Let’s go to Bethlehem!” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be stirred in your spirit and moved with passion to pursue and proclaim the things of God -- the good news of great joy we have in Jesus, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend! Tommy & Rocio Hays | Messiah Ministries Messiah Ministries Mailing Address: 412 S.
