Morning by Morning, November 1 - “Treasure in Clay Jars”

Morning by Morning, November 1 - “Treasure in Clay Jars”

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me listen for Your voice and follow the leading of Your Spirit.  ...

“But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us” (2 Corinthians 4:7).

Lord, take the clay of my heart and shape it as You will today. Fill me with the Treasure of Your Spirit in communion with my spirit. Scoop up the dust of the earth that You’ve created to become my body and breathe Your breath of life into me, that I may be a living soul, fully-surrendered and fully alive to You today. May “the life of Jesus be made visible in (my) body” as You express Your life through me today (v. 4:10). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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

Morning by Morning, November 4 - "Believe in the Son of God"

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Here I am, Lord -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Speak to my heart and lead me by my spirit into the way and truth and life You have for me today.  ...

"Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony in their hearts. Those who do not believe God have made Him a liar by not believing in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. And this is the testimony:  God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life" (1 John 5:10-12).

Dear Lord Jesus, I believe in the Son of God. I believe You are the Son of God, God the Son -- the One who perfectly reveals the heart and nature of God the Father and lives in my heart to make me more like You every day through God the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 1:3). I believe You are and the Father are One, that You are in Him, that He is in You, that You are in me, and I am in You by the constant communion of the Holy Spirit of God forever abiding in me (John 14:20).

So come live Your life through me today. May the life I live be lived by the faith of the Son of God living in me (Galatians 2:20). In the power of Your grace and love, You forgive me from my sins, heal me from my wounds, free me from my chains, and fill me with Your Spirit. Let this be my testimony of my heart and the declaration of my life, this day and every day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

 

My Friend,  may the Son of God live His life through you today. Please pray the same the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, October 31 - Spirit of Light and Life

Good morning, Lord Jesus. On this day many celebrate the darkness and the dead, I want to start my day celebrating the Light and the Living One. Instead of filling my thoughts with ghosts and goblins, witches and skeletons, I want You to fill my mind and my heart with Your Holy Spirit and power until my bones rattle in the mighty rushing wind of Your Presence. ...

"If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through His Spirit that dwells in you" (Romans 8:11).

Come, Holy Spirit! Cleanse my soul, awaken my spirit, fill my body, sweep through my city with the light of the glory of God. "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 4:6). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

I had a great time speaking on prayer and transformation last night at The Park Community Church in San Antonio. Tonight we'll be teaching our Level 2 School of Ministry for Sozo Inner Healing Prayer Ministry at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio. It was wonderful to speak on stewardship of spirit, soul, and body at the FUMC in La Grange last weekend. Thank you for keeping me and our ministry in prayer as we help equip the saints for the work of ministry and allow the Holy Spirit to continue His transformation process in our lives and city. I pray the same for you, my friends!

Morning by Morning, October 30 - "Draw Near to Listen" Good morning, Lord Jesus. Awaken my spirit to arise into newness of life today.  ... "Guard your steps when you go to the house of God; to draw near to listen is better than the sacrifice offered by fools ..." (Ecclesiastes 5:1). As I come to the house of God, as I come to the place of prayer where my heart is Your house, give me grace to approach in humility and reverence, with intimacy and faith, honoring You as my God and King, yet also as my Best Friend and Life-long Companion (John 15:15). Let me guard my steps from presumption or pride, but also from doubt and unbelief. Let me come boldly to Your throne of grace because You've forgiven me of my sins and drawn me near in Your love (Hebrews 4:16). And as I draw near to listen for Your voice and the leading of Your Spirit, help me be quiet to watch and wait for Your words of truth and life to my heart. ... It seems I hear You say, "My son, do not hold back. Draw near. As you draw near to Me, I always draw near to you. In this very moment, I am strengthening you and encouraging you; I am preparing you for the steps you'll walk through this day. Know that I will go with you; and in fact, I have already gone before you. Trust Me and come follow Me, My friend." Yes, Lord. I choose to believe I'm hearing Your voice, as I sense Your Presence and Your peace (John 10:3). I'm a child of God, created and called to be led by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14). As I listen and hear, I am encouraged and strengthened. And I'm excited to see where You'll lead me today. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays   My Friend,  I pray you will hear the Lord's voice and follow the leading of His Spirit, as you drawn near to God throughout the moments of your day. Please pray the same the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, October 29 - Together "Face to Face"

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Continually come into my heart; continually flow out of my heart. Help me abide in You always, as You abide in me.  ...

"Although I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink; instead I hope to come to you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete" (2 John 12).

You've created us for relationships that are close, personal, and intimate at varying levels that are appropriate to the levels of relationship and trust You've established in our lives. And while we can communicate through electronic technology and sometimes even paper and ink, there's something significant in speaking face to face, looking one another in the eyes, extending a touch, and exchanging an embrace. Your Spirit draws us out of isolation and loneliness into friendship and fellowship with one another, "not neglecting to meet together ... but encouraging one another" (Hebrews 10:22). And then "our joy may be complete."

Lord, free us from isolation and loneliness in Your Body. Align our hearts and relationships with You and with one another according to Your sovereign purposes and plans for our lives. "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).

You're always with us to help; and at the same, You also position the ones You have chosen to walk with us in the relationships of our journey to be an extension of Your hands to help us and an expression of Your face to look into our eyes and encourage us. And then, together, "our joy may be complete."

You're a God of personal relationship -- relationship with You and with one another. Establish Your relationships in our lives. Give us courage and faith to trust You to know what's best for each one of us. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. 

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

 

My Friend,  I pray the Lord will establish His personal relationships in your life to fulfill all His plans and purposes for you so that your joy may be complete. Please pray the same the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, October 25 - Extravagantly Generous Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be at the center of my thoughts and all that I say and do throughout the moments of my day.  ... "Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To Him belong the glory and the power forever and ever" (1 Peter 4:10-11). Every gift I have is a gift from You. Every good thing in me and my life is an expression of the goodness of God. Apart from You, there's nothing good in me; but I praise You, Lord God, that I never have to be apart from You. So when I speak, when I serve, when I give, when I pray, when I love, let me do all things in Your strength by Your leading for Your glory. "Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change" (James 1:17). So give me Your generous Spirit -- extravagantly generous in all things because You've been extravagantly generous to me (John 3:16). "What are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold His own Son, but gave Him up for us, will He not with Him also give us everything else?" (Romans 8:31-32) You've given all for me; by the power of Your grace, I choose to give all to You. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My Friend,  I pray the Lord will lavish His extravagant generosity upon every area of your life today, as He pours out that same Spirit through you to others. Please pray the same the same for me. God bless you, my friend! This weekend I'm excited to be speaking on Healing & Stewardship of Spirit, Soul, and Body at First United Methodist Church of La Grange, Texas with my good friend Pastor J. Paul Bruhn. Please keep us in prayer.

Morning by Morning, October 23 - "A Cheerful Giver" Good morning, Lord Jesus. You've shown me Your Father, saved me by Your Blood, and filled me with Your Spirit. I love You, Lord, and thank You, Lord, for first loving me.  ... "The point is this:  the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work" (2 Corinthians 9:6). Lord, fill me with the joy of giving -- giving abundantly from the heart of all that I am and all that have all to You. You've taught me so many times in so many ways that "You can't out-give God." It's You've nature to give. Father, You give us Your Son (John 3:16). You give us Your Spirit (Acts 2:4). You give us the fullness of Your salvation (Romans 9:13). You give us "abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine" (Ephesians 3:20). And I want to be a giver like You -- a cheerful giver in the joy of Your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My Friend,  I pray the Spirit will stir in your spirit with the joy of giving all that you have and all that you to the glory of God from every dimension of your life. May you be a cheerful giver! Please pray the same the same for me. God bless you, my friend! This weekend I'm excited to be speaking on Healing & Stewardship of Spirit, Soul, and Body at First United Methodist Church of La Grange, Texas with my good friend Pastor J. Paul Bruhn.

Morning by Morning, October 22 - Press On to Perfection Good morning, Lord Jesus. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, fill my spirit, soul, and body with the fullness of Your Presence in the communion of prayer. ... "Therefore let us go to toward perfection, leaving behind the basic teaching about Christ, and laying again the foundation:  repentance from dead works and faith toward God, instruction about baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and the eternal judgment... Ground that drinks up the rain falling on it repeatedly, and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God" (Hebrews 6:1-7). Lord, let Your Word fall like rain, repeatedly every day, on the ground of my heart, plowed and prepared for You. Let Your Spirit come rest upon me, repeatedly every day, like the dew of the morning, refreshed and renewed. I want to be useful to You and fruitful for Your Kingdom. Thank You for the foundations of the faith You've established in my spirit, like well-planted seeds that are broken-up by pressure and time so that my spiritual life can arise out of the soil to grow into maturity, to go on toward perfection. And the perfection You desire form me is a life wholly devoted to You (Matthew 22:37-40). This is the fulfillment of Your command, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). Yes, Lord -- all in Your time, all in Your way, all by the power of Your grace at work within me by Your Spirit (Philippians 2:13). "Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me His own.... I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:12-14). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My Friend,  I pray the Holy Spirit continues to stir in your heart to press on to perfection through the soaking Presence of God by His Word and Spirit upon your life repeatedly every day. Please pray the same the same for me. God bless you, my friend! This weekend I'm excited to be speaking on Healing & Stewardship of Spirit, Soul, and Body at First United Methodist Church of La Grange, Texas with my good friend Pastor J. Paul Bruhn.

Morning by Morning, October 21 - "With My Whole Heart"

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up my eyes and open up my heart to welcome You in to every area of my life and every moment of my day. ...

"I give You thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing Your praise; I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness; for You have exalted Your name and Your word above everything. In the day I called You answered me, and You increased my strength of soul... The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of Your hands" (Psalm 138:1-8).

With my whole heart, with an undivided heart, with a heart that holds nothing back, I worship You, I give You thanks, I give Your praise, I give You all that I have and all that I am, as best as I can and all by Your grace. Let there be nothing ever between us, nothing ever to take my heart or my focus away from You and Your purpose for my life.

You've filled my life with good things. And even in the most tragic and painful times, You've displayed over and again Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness to me. You constantly increase my strength of soul. You persistently awaken my spirit to arise into daily communion with Your Spirit. You unfailingly exalt Your name and Your word and Your will above every circumstance and challenge that would seek to derail Your plans for my journey of faith with You -- never because I deserve it, but always because You love me. By the grace of God to redeem it all, Your steadfast love for me, O Lord, endures forever. So how could I help but love You and thank You with my whole heart? In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My Friend,  may you know the steadfast love and unfailing faithfulness of our God in every challenge and circumstance of your life. May you increasingly trust Him with your whole heart. Please pray the same the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, October 18 - Obedient from the Heart

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be Lord of my spirit, soul, and body; Lord my mind, will, and emotions; Lord my past, present, and future; Lord of my identity, security, and destiny; Lord my possessions, positions, and promises; Lord my relationships, opportunities, and challenges; Lord of my hopes, dreams, and desires. Be Lord of all.  ...

"Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that you, having once been slaves of sin, have become obedient from the heart ... and that you, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness... For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification" (Romans 6:16-19).

Lord Jesus, I choose You as my Master and Lord. I ask You to change me from the inside out until I "become obedient from the heart" -- not just obedient because I know in my heart it's right, but obedient because in my heart I long to be right.

Free me from the slavery of sin -- not just in my actions, but also in my thoughts and desires. "The end of those things is death" (v. 6:21). But create in me a clean heart; renew a right spirit within me. Cause me to desire the life You've chosen for me, with an honest desire for holiness of heart and life from the inside out. "The end (of that) is eternal life" -- not just a life of joy and peace in heaven when I die, but a life of joy and peace in my heart now (v. 6:22). So in the power of Your grace, Lord, make my heart right so I can be obedient from the heart. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My Friend,  may Jesus be Lord of every area of your life, may His Holy Spirit change your heart from the inside out more and more every day to be more like Him. May He be your Master and Lord. May you desire holiness of heart and life so you can be obedient to God from the heart. Please pray the same the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Friends, I'm amazed at the healing and freedom that always takes place during our School of Ministry, even as we are learning God's principles of the Kingdom for inner healing and deliverance so we can minister that healing and freedom to others. We had another awesome night last night during our Level 2 School of Ministry on Thursday Nights for Six Weeks. Please keep us in prayer for the next four weeks of our School. And I pray for God's mighty healing and freedom in your life and through your ministry in Jesus' name! We have recorded our Level 1 and Level 2 Schools on DVD, which should be available soon(www.RaphaGodMinistries.com) 

You can also order our Resources from my past preaching and teaching settings on Intercessory Prayer, Healing & Deliverance, Men's Retreats, Spiritual Warfare, City-Wide Revival and Strategic Prayer, and other similar topics (www.Messiah-Ministries.org)  Be you be equipped and encouraged to fulfill your calling and ministry in Christ. Please pray the same for me!

Morning by Morning, October 17 - The Rule of Peace Good morning, Lord Jesus. Embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, filled with Your Holy Spirit, I want to be in communion with every dimension of God throughout every moment of my day.  ... "And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful" (Colossians 3:15). Let me not be ruled by my own mind, my own will, or my own emotions. Let me not be ruled by fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of success, or fear of man. Let me not be ruled the stability of government, the standards of culture, or the seductions of the world. Let the peace of Christ rule in my heart. You promise the rule of Your peace for all who will choose to let You rule in our hearts. "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do no let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid" (John 14:27). So when I have questions, let Your peace rule. When I need a sense of direction or discernment, let Your peace rule. When I waver or doubt, when I stumble or fall, when I just need to know that You are there and You are for me and You'll always come through with Your very best for me, let Your peace rule. You are the "Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). Your peace is beyond understanding; it doesn't make sense in the eyes of the world or in the face of circumstances, but it guards my heart and steadies my mind (Philippians 4:7). Life in the Kingdom of God is full of peace (Romans 14:17). So by the grace of God I bow my knees and open my heart to rule of Your peace in my life today. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My Friend,  I pray the peace of Christ will rule in your heart in every decision and encounter you have today. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, October 16 - Vessel of Honor

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Let Your name be the first words from my mouth this morning. Let Your nature be in my heart throughout the moments of my day.  ...

"But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart" (2 Timothy 2:20-22, NKJV).

I want to pursue You from a pure heart. I want to be a vessel of honor in the house of my God. I want to be useful the Master and every good work You've planned for my life. I want to be secure in my identity and fulfill my destiny. I want to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all I'll ever truly need will be added unto me (Matthew 6:33).

So cleanse my heart and purify my soul. Give me right thoughts and right desires. Give me clean hands and a pure heart. Give me a passion to "pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace" -- all by Your power and all by Your grace at work within me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My Friend,  I pray the Holy Spirit will continually cleanse your heart and purify your soul, shaping you into a vessel of honor for our God. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, October 15 - Constant, Steadfast God

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me start this day centered in You, grounded in Your Word, and filled with Your Spirit.  ...

"God is not a human being, that He should lie, or a mortal, that He should change His mind. Has He not promised, and will He not fulfill it?" (Numbers 23:19)

You are my constant and steadfast God. Your Word is certain and Your promises are secure. You are faithful and true, unwavering and worthy of my trust. You'll never leave me nor forsake me; You're always with me. You're always at work to bring out the best in me and work out Your best for me. And that gives me peace and comfort and strength in the security of Your unfailing love for me. "He who did not withhold His own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will He not with Him also give us everything else?" (Romans 8:32) "No good thing does the Lord withhold from those who walk uprightly" (Psalm 85:11).

You've given Your best for me. I want to give my best for You, as best as I can and all by Your grace. "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by Him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15). I want to love You and honor You and serve You this day and every day because You are so good and faithful to me. I love You because You first loved me (1 John 4:19). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My Friend,  may you know the constant, steadfast love of our God every day of your life. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, October 10 - Holy Fire from the Heart

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, sanctify me in spirit, soul, and body. As best as I can and all by Your grace, I give as much of me to You as I can; and I receive as much of You within me as I can. I pray that tomorrow I'll be able to give You more -- more and more, every day until the day You come to embrace Your Body and receive Your Bride.  ....

"May the God of peace himself sanctify (me) entirely; and may (my) spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The One who calls (me) is faithful, and He will do this. Beloved, pray for (me)" (1 Thessalonians 5:23-25).

Yes, Lord. Hear my prayer. Here I am. I can never be holy from the outside in, trying to be good enough or do all the right things to be righteous enough. But You can make me holy from the inside out -- holy from the heart (Philippians 2:13). Take the Holy Fire from Your altar in heaven and sanctify me; ignite Your Holy Fire in my spirit and send me (Isaiah 6:6-8). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My Friend,  I pray the God of all peace would sanctify you entirely in spirit and soul and body, that He would burn within you with His Holy Fire from your heart. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

We'll be starting our Level 2 School of Ministry this week onThursday Nights for 6 Weeks. We are excited to be recording our Level 1 and Level 2 Schools. Please keep us in prayer. Our alumni are always welcome to come join any of the sessions of our Schools:  www.RaphaGodMinistries.com
