At Your Name, Lord Jesus - March 1, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, March 1 - At Your Name, Lord Jesus

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Your name is above every name (Philippians 2:9). And as I begin this day, I declare Your name over every moment of my day. ...

 

At Your name, Lord Jesus, all powers and dominions must bow.

At Your name, Lord Jesus, all delay becomes now.

At Your name, Lord Jesus, all truth comes forth.

At Your name, Lord Jesus, all heaven bursts through the door.

At Your name, Lord Jesus, all hope comes alive.

At Your name, Lord Jesus, all fear is deprived.

At Your name, Lord Jesus, all things become new.

At Your name, Lord Jesus, all the promises of God break through.

 

So I speak out the power of Your name Lord Jesus. I embrace the power of Your name. There is no greater name. There is no other name by which we are safe and secure in the eternal plans and purposes of God (Acts 4:12). And as You said, “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it” (John 14:13-14).

 

Lord Jesus, line up my heart with Your heart, the nature of my character with the nature of Your name, so that what I desire and what I ask is in alignment with Your name and expresses the power and authority of Your name.

 

As I arise and go about my day, fill my mind with Your thoughts, my heart with Your desires, my mouth with Your words, and my spirit with the Spirit of Your name. For “the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in (Your) name, He will teach (me) all things, and bring to (my) remembrance all things that (You) said to (me)” (John 14:26). You choose us to “go and bear fruit, and that (our) fruit should remain, that whatever (we) ask the Father in (Your) name He may give (us)” (John 15:16).

 

“Let this mind be in (me) which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father!” (Philippians 2:5-11).

 

Father, be glorified as I confess the name of Jesus and bow to the Lordship of Jesus -- first here in my heart then in every situation I encounter throughout the moments of my day. At the name of Jesus in my life today, let the world see the glory of my Father through the power of the name of Your Son. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may the name of Jesus be declared and exalted over everything you will encounter and overcome in your life today, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

“In the Spirit I’m Alive!” - February 29, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, February 29 - “In the Spirit I’m Alive!”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I draw near to You and You draw near to me, as I listen for Your leading, here in the communion of prayer to begin my day apart with You. ...

 

“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His” (Romans 8:9).

 

Every day, I can choose to begin my day “in the flesh” or “in the Spirit.” And I can choose to continue my day until the end of my day “in the flesh” or “in the Spirit.” But why would I choose the flesh when I can choose the Spirit?

 

In the Spirit, I’m alive. In the Spirit, I’m part of You bringing life. In the Spirit, I’m part of Your Body, stretching out Your hands, speaking out Your words, moving in the power and authority of Your name with Your love at Your command and the leading of Your Spirit (Romans 8:14). For “indeed the Spirit of God dwells in (me) and I “have the Spirit of Christ” living in me.

 

So why would I choose the flesh? Why would I choose an ordinary day, when my day could be filled with the Spirit, overflowing with the Spirit--whether I’m going across town or around the world?

 

As I express my prayer, the words of an old Don Potter song from MorningStar Ministries stir up in my spirit from when he sang it over us at a ministry retreat many years ago:

 

“In the Spirit I’m alive! In the Spirit I can fly! In the Spirit of the Living God.” ... “In the Spirit He is real! In the Spirit I can feel! In the Spirit I am healed by the power of His love!” ...

 

Spirit of the Living God, fill me afresh with Your Spirit today. As Your Word both invites and commands, “Be filled with the Spirit!” (Ephesians 5:18).

 

Yes, Lord! “Spirit of God,” “Spirit of Christ,” Spirit of the Living God, the Loving God, the Moving in Power and Love God, move in me and move through me today! For along with every believer who carries the Holy Spirit in their heart, “the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in (me), (and) He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to (my) mortal (body) through His Spirit who dwells in (me)!” (Romans 8:11)

 

So by the power and mercy of Your grace living in me, I choose to live “in the Spirit” today, for “In the Spirit I’m alive!” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you live your life in the Spirit today, alive in the Spirit today, for "in the Spirit (you're) alive! God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

My Heart is Full! - February 28, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, February 28 - My Heart is Full!

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Put Your thoughts in my mind and Your desires in my heart, as You make me more like You today (Romans 8:29). ...

 

I made it back home from India late last night. The middle leg of my journey from Doha to Dallas was fifteen hours! But it was worth every minute and mile, going and coming, for all I saw You do as You were saving souls, healing hearts, breaking chains, and moving in the power of Your love for so many who were desperately hungry for an encounter with You.

 

You’ve set my heart on fire with revival again! And I pray every spark You’ve set everywhere You sent me will be fanned into flame! (2 Timothy 1:6)

 

I’ve hardly had time to reflect on what all You’ve done, as my mind tries to wake up from the fog of the travel home, after ministering in three different areas of India in three weeks, but as I wake up this morning, what first comes to my heart is that “My heart is full.”

 

As David expressed in Psalm 28:

 

“The Lord is my strength and my shield;

My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;

Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,

And with my song I will praise Him!” (Psalm 28:7)

 

And in the 23rd Psalm: “My cup runs over!” (Psalm 23:5).

 

And as Paul exuded in Romans 5: “The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Romans 5:5).

 

Thank You, Lord! Thank You for all who prayed for me, provided for me, imparted into me, and were part of all You did in me and through me as You sent me to India for these three magnificent weeks of ministry!

 

Thank You for letting me and all who are a part of our ministry in so many ways be a part of the fulfillment of Your Word:

 

“And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come!” (Matthew 24:14).

 

My heart is full! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may your heart be filled with all the goodness and love of God, overflowing through you! God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Impartation of Joy - February 22, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, February 22 - Impartation of Joy

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Fill my heart with Your light and my mouth with Your words. ...

 

“The joy of the Lord is (my) strength” (Nehemiah 8:10).

I’m amazed what a difference joy makes. People are drawn to it. People are hungry for it. Sometimes they don’t even know how much they need it until they see it.

 

And joy is transferrable. It’s contagious!

 

This is my third and last week of ministry in India. And among all the things I’ve seen You do -- moving in the power of the Holy Spirit and the love of God to save souls, heal hearts, break chains, awaken revival -- seeing faces light up with joy, seeing sad eyes start to sparkle with delight, seeing the joy of the Lord ignite a healing from the inside out in so many hearts -- has been one my greatest joys! Because it’s all a manifestation of Your joy!

 

In the middle of my journeys, I joined a couple from my home base church and weekly course on inner healing in Fredericksburg, Texas--Allen and Molly Nance--who were visiting the Children’s Home north of Hyderabad they have sponsored for years. One morning we were blessing the children on their way to school with a snack for the day, as we took them by the hands. But first they needed to recite their memory verse for the day -- “The joy of the Lord is (my) strength!”

 

As soon as they said the words of Your Word, their faces lit up with joy! Then they ran off into their day. Joy was imparted! Joy was ignited! And they carried that joy -- Your joy -- everywhere they went and to everyone they met.

 

Fill me with more joy today, Lord. It’s part of our inheritance as children of God, part of our inheritance in the kingdom of God. “For the kingdom of God is ... righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit!” (Romans 14:17) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you be filled with the of the Lord today, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
