“Live Like Jesus” - February 14, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, February 14 - “Live Like Jesus”

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Let me see with Your eyes, hear with Your ears, love with Your heart, as You live Your life through mine today. “For (I) have died, and (my) life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is (my) life is revealed, then (I) also will be revealed with Him in glory” (Colossians 3:3-4). ....

In the mystery of faith and the power of grace, You move in my heart by Your Spirit to make me more like You each day, with my life hidden with Christ in God each day. My part is to choose; Your part is to move -- to move in my mind, to move in my heart, to move in my thoughts and move in my desires, so that I desire what is right and do what is right, by the power of Your grace at work within me. “For God is working in (me), giving (me) the desire and the power to do what pleases Him” (Philippians 2:13 NLT).

And what pleases You, Lord? ... That I allow You to live Your life in me. That I allow Your nature to become my nature, as I allow Your thoughts in my mind, Your desires in my heart, Your ways to become my ways. That I take hold of the Truth and let the Truth take hold of me -- that You are “the Way and the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6) and that You desire to be my Way, my Truth, and my Life.

By the power of Your grace at work within me, bring me to the place of surrender and trust where I can truly say, “I live for God” (Galatians 2:19 NLT), where I can truly say, “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20 NLT).

This is the will of God according to the Word of God for me and all who would fully surrender and fully trust their whole lives to You by the power of Your grace: “And as (I) live in God, (my) love grows more perfect. So (I) will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but (I) can face Him with confidence because (I) live like Jesus here in this world” (1 John 4:17 NLT). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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

Friends, may you be empowered by the grace of God and transformed by the Spirit of God to live like Jesus today, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

The God Who Delights in Us - February 11, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, February 11 - The God Who Delights in Us

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Looking to You, listening for Your leading, I’m seeking to begin by day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. ...

“He reached down from on high, He took me;
    He drew me out of mighty waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy,
    and from those who hated me;
    for they were too mighty for me.
They confronted me in the day of my calamity;
    but the Lord was my support.
He brought me out into a broad place;
    He delivered me, because He delighted in me” (Psalm 18:16-19).

Thank You for Your Word that reveals Your heart: “He brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me” (v. 19).

When You lead me out of the woods and lift me up from the pit to bring me into a broad and safe place, it’s not because I’ve deserved it or earned it. It’s not because You feel sorry for me or because You feel obligated to me. It’s because You have “delighted” in me.

When You deliver me from evil and rescue me from harm, it’s not because You’re weary of hearing my whining or frustrated of waiting for me to figure out how to take care of myself in my own power, my own wisdom, in my own way. It’s because You have “delighted” in me.

Lord, let that Truth get down into my spirit. Help me see myself more how You see me, how You have “delighted in me.”

You love me. You like me. You have “delighted in me.”

You want Your best for me -- for “(my) Father in heaven give(s) good things to those who ask Him” (Matthew 7:11). You want me to have all I need -- for “my God will fully satisfy every need of (mine) according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). In fact, the Truth is, You want to pour out upon me even much more than I need -- “abundantly far more than all (I) can ask or imagine!” (Ephesians 3:20)

Yes, You convict me and correct me and lead me to repentance. That’s what a loving Father does -- “for the Lord disciplines those whom He loves, and chastises every child whom He accepts” (Hebrews 12:6). That’s what a Good Shepherd does -- (John 10:11). Your kindness leads me to repentance (Romans 2:4). And Your kindness flows out of Your heart of love for me, Your desire for the best for me, because You have “delighted in me.”

By the power of Your grace at work within me, I choose this day to see You as are You are and myself as I am. You love me! You like me! You delight in me!

“The Lord, (my) God, is in (my) midst,
    a warrior who gives victory;
He will rejoice over (me) with gladness,
    He will renew (me) in His love;
He will exult over (me) with loud singing
    as on a day of festival” (Zephaniah 3:17)

Yes, You are the God who delights in me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you see the Lord your God as He is and see yourself as He does -- that He loves you, He likes you, He delights in you, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Home from our 2 Week Ministry Trip to Central Mexico
Thank you so much for all your prayers!
Ministry in Morelia and Patzcuaro, Mexico
2 Freedom Encounter Weekends and Citywide Pastors and Leaders Meeting

We loved our time of ministry in central Mexico the last two weeks in Morelia, Patzcuaro, and little excursions along the way in San Miguel and Los Azufres! We love our new ministry partnership being formed with Pastors Fernando and Laura Tovar of Rey de Reyes Iglesia and Morelia House of Prayer. And so excited to have our great friends Todd and Debbie Willman join us on the team! We Praise God for all He has done!

We saw physical healings, freedom from demonic manifestations, salvation of souls, but all saturated in a soaking river of God's love. Many tears flowed in the cleansing streams of the Holy Spirit. Many hearts were lifted up and set free in the power of the Savior’s love! All glory to God! Gloria a Dios! Alabado sea el Señor! 

Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement, friends! Los quiero mucho!

Praise Report from Pastora Laura Tovar from this weekend:
"Such a huge blessing. This morning God dropped his glory flooding the place and our lives with immense Love!
Via Pastors Tommy and Rocio Hays.
Thank God for his life!"

Light of God’s Glory Pushing Back the Darkness - February 10, 2022

 


Morning by Morning, February 10 - Light of God’s Glory Pushing Back the Darkness

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Light of the World, You light up my world, as I seek to begin my day in the Light of the Glory of Your Presence. ...

“Therefore, since it is by God’s mercy that we are engaged in this ministry, we do not lose heart. We have renounced the shameful things that one hides; we refuse to practice cunning or to falsify God’s word; but by the open statement of the truth we commend ourselves to the conscience of everyone in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:1-6).

Holy Spirit of God, You are pushing back the darkness. You are opening up the heavens. You are revealing “the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” all over the world. Hard hearts are being softened. Deadened spirits are coming to life. Blind eyes are being opened. Deaf ears are being unstopped. Lame bodies are leaping for joy. Speechless lips are singing praise. And the “the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” is breaking forth like the dawn of a new day. And the darkness has to flee!

Yes, it is a battle. Yes, it is a spiritual war. But “the weapons of our warfare” -- like the weapons of love and grace and faith and forgiveness and worship and honor; like the weapons of praying for those who persecute you, blessing those who curse you, even loving those who hate you; like the weapons of persistent perseverance in the power of Your grace, keeping our eyes on You as we look up and not down, looking forward and not back, seeing our lives and one another with the eyes of heaven and the Father heart of God instead of the eyes and heart of our world -- “have divine power to destroy strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:3-4).

These are weapons we wield by the power of Your grace and Presence of Your Spirit moving in us, fighting forward through us, and overcoming for us. “Christ in (us), the hope of glory” -- Your glory of Your Presence shining in us and through us, pushing back the darkness and opening up the heavens more and more every day (Colossians 1:27). 

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it” (John 1:5). You are “the Light of the World. Whoever follows (You) will never walk in darkness but have the Light of Life” (John 8:12). The darkness cannot overcome It -- but can only flee in the Light of the Glory of Your Presence. 

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

My friend, may the Light of the Glory of God revealed in the Face of Jesus Christ shine through you and push back the darkness all around you, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

The Disciples “Returned with Joy!” - February 9, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, February 9 - The Disciples “Returned with Joy!”

Good morning, Lord Jesus. All that I am and all that I have, I entrust to You as I begin my day embraced by the Father’s love, centered in the Savior’s grace, and filled with the Holy Spirit’s presence. ...

“The seventy returned with joy, saying, ‘Lord, in Your name even the demons submit to us!’ He said to them, ‘I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.’ At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, ‘I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was Your gracious will.  All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Then turning to the disciples, Jesus said to them privately, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!’ For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it!’” (Luke 10:17-24).

Yesterday, Rocio and I “returned with joy” from our two week ministry trip to central Mexico to share the healing love of God everywhere You sent us. With Rocio interpreting, we were able to express Your heart as one to the people who were so hungry to hear and receive this message of healing from the inside out and the spiritual freedom we have in Christ. And an outpouring of the Father’s love is what we constantly heard the people call it, all along the way, as we saw You heal the broken-hearted and set captives free in Morelia, Patzcuaro, and little excursions along the way in San Miguel and Los Azufres.

“Blessed are (our) eyes” for all we have seen, as we saw You heal hurts and wounds of the past, break off spiritual chains, and awaken again passion for You in the freedom of the Spirit from hearts embracing the Father’s love. We saw physical healings, freedom from demonic manifestations, salvation of souls, but all saturated in a soaking river of Your love. Many tears flowed in Your cleansing streams. Many hearts were lifted up, set free, in the power of the Savior’s love!

We’ve “returned with joy,” but we can’t wait to go back! Fill us afresh and send us again as Your ambassadors of love, preparing the way of the Lord in the hearts of Your people to the ends of the earth. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may the Love of God and the power of His love heal you and free you and flow through you as an ambassador of His love wherever He sends you, whether in your body or through your prayers, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
