Fiery Eyes, Full of Light, Glory, and Love - September 23, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, September 23 - Fiery Eyes, Full of Light, Glory, and Love

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Your Word says Your eyes search the earth looking for those whose hearts are truly Yours (1 Chronicles 16:19). I pray Your eyes see a true heart in me. ...

 

Our eyes reveal our heart. You said:

 

“Your eye is the lamp of your body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but if it is unhealthy, your body is full of darkness. Therefore consider whether the light in you is not darkness. But if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be as full of light as when a lamp gives you light with its rays” (Luke 11:34-36).

 

Your eyes reveal Your heart, as well. In Your heart, there is no darkness. Your heart is full of light. It’s a fiery light full of Your light, full of Your glory, full of Your love. And one day soon we will see You coming again in Your glory, with that fiery light of Your glory Your shining in Your eyes for all the world to see!

 

“Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse! Its rider is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems, and He has a name inscribed that no one knows but Himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, wearing fine linen, white and pure, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a scepter of iron; He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On His robe and on His thigh He has a name inscribed, ‘King of kings and Lord of lords’” (Revelation 19:11-16).

 

O King of kings and Lord of lords, let the Fire in Your eyes pierce my heart today! Burn out of me all that is not yet like You! Word of God, full of the Spirit of God, full of the Light of the Glory of God, “judge and make war” with everything in my flesh today that would oppose Your Spirit on that day, that I can be full of joy on that glorious day to come! Let Your fiery eyes -- full of light, full of glory, full of love -- find a true heart in me! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you be fill with the Light of the Glory of God, as our King of kings and Lord of lords sees a true heart in you, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you!

“Start a Fire on the Earth!” - September 22, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, September 22 - “Start a Fire on the Earth!”


Good morning, Lord Jesus. You’re my Savior and my Shepherd, the High and Exalted One and my Example. So I look to You and seek to hear Your voice in my heart, as I step out onto the journey of my day (John 10:3). ...


I’m at a three-day conference south of Nashville with pastors and leaders and hungry hearts pursuing more of You called New Room. It’s named after the gathering place for hungry hearts in the days of the great awakening that burned across England led by John Wesley. I’ve been there, with old friends David Thomas and J.D. Walt, who are leading this conference hosted by Seedbed ministry. It’s exciting to be with them again, as You’re fanning the flames of awakening again in hungry hearts--desperate for a mighty move of God in our land and throughout the earth and beginning in our own hearts.


Come, Holy Spirit! Come, Holy Fire! Come fall on us; come burn in us!


David kicked off the conference with Your Words from The Message:


“I’ve come to start a fire on this earth--how I wish it were blazing right now! I’ve come to change everything, turn everything right-side up!” (from Luke 12:49-53 The Message)


You’re the Fire and we’re the wood. “For our God is a Consuming Fire!” (Hebrews 12:29).


And I offer to You “the wood” of all that needs to be burned up and consumed in my life, that I can be ablaze with the Fire of Your Life burning in me. Burn up “the wood” of all that would hold me back from being all You created me to be, all that would be a distraction, a hesitation, any kind of a limitation from my life being wholly surrendered and submitted to You.


Lord, You can “change everything” in a moment. Let that moment be now! You can “turn everything right-side up” in the flicker of a Flame. Strike that Match and set it to the wood of my soul now! Set me ablaze with a passion for You, in fiery hot pursuit of all You would do in me and through my life! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you be set ablaze with the Fire of God, in fiery hot pursuit of Him all He has for your life, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you!

Praying for an Unveiling - September 20, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, September 20 - Praying for an Unveiling

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Speaking Your name, seeking Your face, I look and listen for Your leading, as I seek to being my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. ...

 

The news reported the tragic, senseless death of a 22 year-old woman in the custody of the “morality police” in Iran who was undergoing “re-education” training for failing to cover her head with a veil. As I read the story, I sensed both compassion and anger, as I imagined life in that world. I can understand modesty; but I also understand merciless control that would keep an entire gender veiled, hidden away, and covered up, upon penalty of torture and death.

 

This Word from Your Scripture comes to mind:

 

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:17-18).

 

Some would say it’s none of my business. But my spirit cries out for “freedom.” My heart cries out for every person to be set free and unveiled from everything that would keep them from seeing You and Your glory.

 

The “veils” in our lives take many forms -- “veils” of cloth that cover our head or our face, “veils” that cover our perception of who You really are and who You’ve created each one of us to be in our true identity as children of God, “veils” that cloud our thinking and darken our understanding of the value and significance of every life freely lived without oppressive control, and “veils” that cover our hearts and our spirits from knowing the one true God who loves us, who’s for us, and who wants every one of us to come to know You as You truly are.

 

Come, Holy Spirit. Remove the “veils.” Open eyes to see the Truth of the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ (John 14:6). Open hearts to receive the love of God from the God who is Love (1 John 4:18).

 

I believe that compassion and even anger that’s stirring in my heart for this woman and her people this morning is an expression of Your heart, moving me to pray for this unveiling by Your Spirit.

 

“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for words. And God, who searches hearts, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” (Romans 8:26-27).

 

Today, I’m praying for an unveiling. Unveil eyes, unveil faces, unveil hearts and minds and oppressive control in every form that every heart can seek You and see You “with unveiled faces” by the “freedom” of “the Spirit!” (2 Corinthians 3:18) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you be moved by the Holy Spirit, praying for an unveiling of hearts and minds to see and know Jesus in the freedom of the Spirit in every tongue and tribe and nation in our generation, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you!

Buildup for Breakthrough - September 19, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, September 19 - Buildup for Breakthrough

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Lead my heart and guide my steps today. ...

 

As I listen for Your leading, I hear in this in my heart: “Buildup for breakthrough.” ...

 

As I wait on You, a Scripture and a prophetic picture come to mind from the Book of Revelation:

 

“When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

 

Another angel with a golden censer came and stood at the altar; he was given a great quantity of incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar that is before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake” (Revelation 8:1-5).

 

I’m sure I don’t know all the meaning or the timing of this Scripture and this picture. But what comes to my heart this morning is that that there is a buildup of all “the prayer of the saints.” The saints are the people of God, made sanctified, forgiven, and free by the grace of God (Ephesians 1:7; Philippians 4:22).

 

Among those many prayers of the saints, throughout many generations, from every tongue and tribe and nation, are prayers for breakthrough (Revelation 7:9). My prayers are among those prayers. And my prayers among the prayers that fill up the “golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” (Revelation 5:8).

 

I thank You for every breakthrough we’ve seen. And I thank You for every breakthrough to come.

 

And as I pray, for the breakthroughs to come, give me grace to persevere; give me grace to believe You hear every prayer. Give me grace to know that You are at work in ways we don’t always see and moving in ways we don’t always know. And give me grace to keep seeking Your heart in my prayers, so that I pray according to the leading of Your Spirit in accordance with Your will.

 

“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for words. And God, who searches hearts, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” (Romans 8:26).

 

When those kinds of prayers are lifted up to Your throne and fill up Your golden bowls, we know that You hear us and we know that You will answer us -- all in Your time and all in Your way, as Your Word promises:

 

“And this is the boldness we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of Him” (1 John 5:14-15).

 

I join with “the whole creation” and all Your saints in this groaning, travailing in prayer for Your breakthrough in our lives and in the earth (Romans 8:22-23).

 

Lord, hear my prayer. Hear the prayers of Your people in a buildup for breakthrough. Send Your Breakthrough Fire to earth! Send Your Breakthrough Revival Fire to the earth! Send Your Holy Fire to burn in me and all Your people -- burning out all that’s not yet like You and fanning into flame a burning passion for You! “For our God is a Consuming Fire” (Hebrews 12:29) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you be consumed in the Fire of the Holy Spirit, lifting up your prayers by His leading according to the will of God in a buildup for breakthrough in your life and in the earth, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you!
