Rivers of Resurrection Life - April 2, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, April 2 - Rivers of Resurrection Life   Good morning, Lord Jesus. Put Your thoughts in my mind, Your desires in my heart, Your words in my mouth, as I embrace my place in the body of Christ today (1 Corinthians 12:27). ...   “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:3-5).   I have a “new birth into a living hope”--all by the power of Your resurrection. I have “an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade”--all by the power of Your resurrection. Let us live into the fullness of our inheritance and the fullness of life we have in You through Your resurrection.   Death is defeated. Hope is alive. I’m born again by Your Spirit abiding in me, giving Your Life to me, flowing through me. Your Resurrection Life releases a River of Life flowing through all who believe in You, trusting in You and all You have done for us, bringing Your Life to all it touches. “Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” (John 7:38).   In the heavenly places, there’s already a “river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb” (Revelation 22:1). Let Your river flow! Let Your rivers of resurrection life flow in us and through us and throughout our world! Let “the knowledge of the glory of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea!” (Habakkuk 2:14) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be filled-up and overflowing with rivers of resurrection life, bring life to all God touches through you, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend!

Resurrection Power and Perspective - April 1, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, April 1 - Resurrection Power and Perspective   Good morning, Lord Jesus. Let Your life fill my heart. ...   “Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.   “But the angel answered and said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.’   “So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word” (Matthew 28:1-8).   The angel said, “He is risen!” And every heart that trusts in You and all You have done for us through the sacrifice of Your love and the shedding of Your blood says, “He is risen!”   And now every moment of every day, Your same Spirit rises in us! Your resurrection power rises in us! “If the Spirit if Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in (us), He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to (our) mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in (us)!” (Romans 8:11)   Let Your resurrection power, Your resurrection life, become my resurrection lifestyle with my resurrection perspective: I’m not dead; I’m alive! I’m not lost; I’m found! I’m not overcome; I’m an overcomer! I’ve not been conquered; I’m more than a conqueror! I’m not a victim; I’m victorious!   “And (us) He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins.... But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace (we) have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus!” (Ephesians 2:1-6)   Because You have taken Your place in Your resurrection glory, I can take me place in You! Because You are alive, I am alive! Because You have risen, I am risen in You! Give me the grace to live my days from that resurrection perspective. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be filled with resurrection power to live a resurrection lifestyle from a resurrection perspective, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend!

Seeds of Judas’ Greed that Betrayed Jesus - March 27, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, March 27 - Seeds of Judas’ Greed that Betrayed Jesus   Good morning, Lord Jesus. As I follow You through Your Word on this Holy Week, I embrace You and Your Word into my week. ...   “Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, ‘What are you willing to give me if I deliver (Jesus) to you?’ And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him” (Matthew 26:14-16).   Judas was afflicted with greed and betrayal. The spirit of greed says, “What will you give me?” The spirit of betrayal says, “I have no loyalty to anyone but myself.” And these spirits opened his soul to be invaded by the evil one himself (Luke 22:3).   The greed and betrayal, the dishonor and disloyalty of Judas against You serves as a warning to us all. Though he was later racked with remorse, even trying to return his thirty pieces of silver, admitting, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” it was too late; and he hanged himself in despair (Matthew 27:3-8). All was in fulfillment of the ancient Words of God prophesied long ago (v. 9-10), spoken by the One who knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end (Isaiah 46:9-10).   Holy Spirit, search my heart. Reveal and remove every root, every seed, every influence of greed or betrayal in me. Replace it with the grace to be found faithful to You to the end.   Judas followed You as Your disciple. Judas saw You do great and mighty things in perfect expression of the perfect Father heart of God in the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit of God. Yet somehow, he was disappointed in You or frustrated in the plan or disillusioned with Your submission to the will of the Father instead of to the will of Judas.   There were dangerous seeds that grew into the greed that led Judas to betray You. Whatever was sown into of his soul to be reaped with his destruction, any of us could be tempted or even found guilty at times of allowing those kinds of thoughts to linger in our minds rather than taking them captive and overcoming them (2 Corinthians 10:5). And all of us, apart from the grace of God, will reap what is sown (Galatians 6:7).   Make me sensitive to recognize any of those temptations in me, to overcome any negativity and criticism, self-righteousness or judgmentalism. Keep lifting my eyes to You to keep trusting in You, to keep believing You have the Words of Spirit and Life and Truth, knowing what’s best for me and for all in the perfect plans of God. Keep giving me grace to keep following You, “found faithful” to You to the end (1 Corinthians 4:2). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be found faithful to Jesus to the end, allowing His Holy Spirit to keep your spirit sensitive to any seeds that would led to destruction, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Thirsting for Our Time of Visitation - March 26, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, March 26 - Thirsting for Our Time of Visitation   Good morning, Lord Jesus. My eyes are on You. Looking and listening for Your leading. ...   “Now as (Jesus) drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, ‘If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation’” (Luke 19:41-44).   I hear Your passion for Your people on that day of that first Holy Week on Your journey to the cross for us all. How You longed for eyes to see, ears to hear, hearts to receive all You had to freely give. But they “did not know the time of (their) visitation.”   Instead of peace, they would have destruction. Instead of life, they would have death.   How it is true today. Your passion is the same for all people--to know You, to embrace You, to receive all You desire to freely give to all.   Come move in a great visitation of Your Presence in our day. By the power of Your grace, by a mighty move of Your Holy Spirit, open eyes to see, open ears to hear, open hearts to receive. Release from Heaven the humility to admit our need of You and awaken an intensity of desire for You. Use all that feels like destruction or death or blindness or deafness or hard-heartedness of every situation in every life that desperately needs to know You and encounter You and experience Your passion and love for each of one. Let them not miss “the time of (their) visitation.” Let us not miss “the time of (our) visitation.”   No matter where any of us are on our spiritual journey, may You awaken in us all a deeper hunger, a greater thirst, to know You, to encounter You, to experience You with an insatiable desire to have a visitation from You in our world and in our hearts:   “And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely!” (Revelation 22:17) 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 by the Holy Spirit with an insatiable thirst for the visitation of Jesus, this day and every day until He comes in glory, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
