Returning with Joy from Kenya! - August 3, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, August 3 - Returning with Joy from Kenya!

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Fill my heart with Your love and peace and joy, as I entrust my heart and my day and my life to You. ...

 

“After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. Then He said to them, ‘The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.... And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’... Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, ‘Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name! ... In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, ‘I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.... Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, ‘Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it!” (Luke 10:1-24)

 

We’ve now “returned with joy” from our ministry trip to Nyeri, Kenya to proclaim the coming of the kingdom of God, ministering the healing love and power of God in Jesus’ name through our international team of evangelists assembled out of our own individual ministries under the banner of Wesley Paul International Ministries. We came from around the world, that Your Holy Spirit might make a life-changing impact in this part of the world in hearts and homes, in the streets and churches, in the schools and government, and in every part of society -- as well as in each one of us. And we saw Your Holy Spirit move in mighty ways!

 

We're praising You for all the souls saved, healed, delivered, and changed forever in the powerful name of Jesus during our two weeks of festival crusades and non-stop ministry outreaches -- from the Governor’s Office to the valley slums, in our main Festival the second week and in 10 satellite Festivals the first week, with Revival Meetings and a Pastors’ Conference in between. And we’re praising You for life-long friendships You knit together among our team for Your purposes from India, South Africa, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Western Kenya, Masai Tribe, and America (Texas, Kentucky, Illinois, North Carolina). From 14 years old up to my age at 62, we came from all walks of life in our varied experiences of faith in You. And in Kenya, over 150 churches and leaders came together in the unity of prayer from across many denominations and streams of the Body of Christ for awakening and revival! May this Holy Fire You’ve ignited in their hearts and in ours never go out! (Matthew 3:11)

 

Now may everything You poured into us be poured out through us in our homes and cities and churches now that we’ve returned in the joy of Your Spirit, rejoicing in the Spirit for all You have done and will continue to do!

 

“As it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heart, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him!” (1 Corinthians 2:9).

 

We love You, Lord! And You love every one of us, every soul in this world -- from Kenya to Kentucky, from Tanzania to Texas, from India to Indianapolis, and everywhere in between and every place else. So may You continue to send us out and bring us home, sharing the Good News of Your kingdom -- “not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that (our) faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God!” (1 Corinthians 2:4-5) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

Hearing the Call to Come! -- Beginning Our Ministry Trip to Kenya Today - July 12, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, July 12 - Hearing the Call to Come! -- Beginning Our Ministry Trip to Kenya Today

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I am Yours and You are mine (Song of Solomon 6:3). Lead me where You will today. ...

 

I’m heading to the airport in Austin on my way to Nairobi, with a stopover to meet up with some family who will be in Rome. City by city, step by step, I’m available to You to let Your Light and Your Love flow through my heart, my words, and even my smile of the joy of the Lord all along the way, however You will.

 

For two weeks in the city of Nyeri, Kenya, I’ll be part of a team of evangelists, preaching and ministering in a diversity of settings in satellite festivals, universities and schools, orphanages, prisons, seats of government, the city streets, and all culminating in a giant soccer stadium gathering. I’m so thrilled to be preaching my own satellite festival for 4 nights the first week and teaching a pastor and leaders conference on deliverance prayer ministry, along with the other assignments along the way. Over 150 pastors, overseers, spiritual leaders, and intercessors across the region have united in the Spirit to invite us to come and share the Good News of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God in Jesus’ mighty name!

 

What comes to mind is an image from Scripture when the Apostle Paul saw a man from Macedonia in his dreams, calling him and his team to come to his people and share the hope and faith in their hearts:

 

“A vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’ Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them” (Acts 16:9-10).

 

Just as Paul and his team heard and answered Your call come to Macedonia, we have heard Your call to come to Kenya. Our team will come from several nations -- India, South Africa, United States, and other parts of Kenya -- to share the hope within us (1 Peter 3:15). May Your Word be proclaimed, the name of Jesus be exalted, the Holy Spirit move in power, and the love of God be released like a river everywhere You send us, with signs and wonders following in salvation, healing, deliverance, revival, and awakening! (Mark 16:17-20; Hebrews 2:4) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays


My friend, may you hear and answer the call of the Lord to share the hope and faith within you, whether at home or abroad, everywhere God sends you, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

“The King of Glory” Coming Through the Gates of Our Hearts - July 11, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, July 11 - “The King of Glory” Coming Through the Gates of Our Hearts

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Fill my heart with Your Spirit, my thoughts with Your wisdom, my mouth with Your words, as You make me more like. You today (Romans 8:29). ...

 

As I begin my day, I’m reminded of Your goodness, Your mercy, and Your grace that fresh and new for me and every one of Your children every morning. “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23).

 

And as I open up my heart to You, and welcome Your Holy Spirit to fill me afresh to begin my day in communion with You, these words of one of my favorite Psalms come to mind. Just as it speaks of lifting up our heads and opening up our gates, I lift up my face to Your Presence and open up the gates of my heart to welcome You -- “the King of Glory” -- to come into my heart and every moment of my day:

 

1 The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness,

​​The world and those who dwell therein.

2 ​​For He has founded it upon the seas,

​​And established it upon the waters.

3 ​​Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?

​​Or who may stand in His holy place?

4 ​​He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

​​Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,

​​Nor sworn deceitfully.

5 ​​He shall receive blessing from the LORD,

​​And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 ​​This Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,

​​Who seek Your face. Selah

7 ​​Lift up your heads, O you gates!

​​And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!

​​And the King of Glory shall come in.

8 ​​Who is this King of Glory?

​​The LORD strong and mighty,

​​The LORD mighty in battle.

9 ​​Lift up your heads, O you gates!

​​Lift up, you everlasting doors!

​​And the King of Glory shall come in.

10 ​​Who is this King of glory?

​​The LORD of hosts,

​​He is the King of Glory!”

(Psalm 24:1-10)

 

King of Glory, I lift up my head and open up my heart to welcome You into every moment of my day and all of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays


My friend, may you be filled with the Holy Spirit of The King of Glory, as you open up the gates of your heart and welcome Him into every moment of your day and all of your life, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
