Morning by Morning, February 6 - "We Have the Mind of Christ"
 
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit as You line up my heart with Yours, my mind with Yours, my will with Yours, my life with Yours, O Lord, my God -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ...
 
"We have the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16).
 
Lord, let the truth of Your Word be established and steadfast in my thoughts: I have the mind of Christ. ...
 
Let my brain line up with Your Truth. Let neurons and neurotransmitters, the passageways and synapses, and every substance in my brain line up with Your Truth and hear the Word of the Lord:  I have the mind of Christ.
 
Every lie must bow to Your Truth. Every blockage and barrier must come down. Every lie must leave, along with every liar. By the power of God's grace, by the power of the Blood of Jesus, I have the mind of Christ.
 
And now, if anything contrary tries to come to my mind today, I "take every thought captive to obey Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5). In the mighty name of Jesus I "destroy arguments and every proud obstacle raised up against the knowledge of God" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
 
Let every cell in my body come into alignment with the mind of Christ. Let every desire of my heart come into alignment with the mind of Christ. Let every word from my mouth, every expression of my emotions, every expectation of every moment of my day come into alignment with the mind of Christ.
 
Your Word says "Be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God -- what is good and acceptable and perfect" (Romans 12:2). And Your Word says, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him in love" (Ephesians 1:3-4). In Your love for me and Your good thoughts toward me, You have blessed me with the spiritual blessing of "the mind of Christ." I have "redemption through (Your) Blood, the forgiveness of (my) trespasses, according the riches of (Your) grace that (You) lavished on (me) (Ephesians 1:7).
 
So keep giving me Your grace to keep believing Your Truth. Let Your Truth sink more deeply into my brain and every dimension of my being:  I have the mind of Christ. With that in mind, may I go through every moment of my day determined to "live for the praise of (Your) glory" (Ephesians 1:12). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you live for the praise of God's glory today, knowing you have the mind of Christ but the power of the grace of God, letting the Lord line up your thoughts, your desires, your will, and your life with His, in Jesus' name! Please pray the same for me! God bless you, my friend! 

  
Healing Academy at Aldersgate Renewal Ministries this week. Please keep us in prayer for a mighty move of God's Spirit for healing and equipping! I pray the same for you!

Morning by Morning, February 24 -- "Immerse!"
 
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I welcome You here in my heart and every moment of my day -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...
 
As I listen for Your leading this morning, I hear in my heart the word "Immerse." I believe I hear You saying, "Immerse yourself in Me, in My Word, in My Spirit, in My Presence. Immerse yourself in Me and I will fill you up and pour you out."  ...
 
Yes, Lord. I'm here early at the airport on my way to Tennessee to teach the Healing Academy all week long. People will be coming from all around to seek You and all You have for us -- for our own healing and for equipping in the ministry of healing in spirit, soul, and body. I'm excited to get there because I'm excited to be around spiritually hungry brothers and sisters who are passionately pursuing You. May we be immersed in Your Presence and overflowing in Your power.
 
I think if story of Naaman who went down to the Jordan River in Israel. "He went down and immersed himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; his flesh was restored like the flesh of a young boy, and he was clean" (2 Kings 5:14).
 
Restore me, Lord. Heal me and free me from all that would hold me back from being all You created me to be in my spirit and soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5;23). Teach me, equip me, and empower me to in the power and authority of Your Word and Your Spirit to be Your ambassador of hope and healing everywhere You send me, just as You sent out Your first disciples (Luke 9:1-2) and then many more (Luke 10:1). And I pray for a great impartation of Your passion and power to all of us (Romans 1:11; 1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6).
 
I'll be teaching at "the ARC" -- Aldersgate Renewal Center, named after Aldersgate Street where John Wesley recorded in his journal his "heart was strangely warmed." He was surely immersed and baptized with Your Holy Spirit and Holy Fire in the that place of prayer that set him ablaze with a passion for You and Your people that kindled a fiery revival that burned across two continents. Immerse me! Saturate me! Baptize me with Your Holy Spirit and Your Holy Fire! (Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:5-8) Do the same in us all and in all we encounter with the fire and the power of Your Holy Flame! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you be immersed in the fire and power fo the Holy Spirit and spread His fiery flame everywhere He sends you, in Jesus' name! Please pray the same for me! God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, February 5 - Let the River Flow!
 
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Fill me up and pour me out!  ...
 
"The He brought me back to the entrance of the temple; there, water was flowing from below the threshold of the temple.... Everything will live where the river goes.... On the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fruit every month, because the water from them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing" (Ezekiel 47:1-12).
 
My heart is Your sanctuary. My spirit is Your temple. My life is Your river. Let Your river flow! Bring life to all You touch! Just as You said, "Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers if living water" (John 7:38).
 
By the power of Your grace, I'll not dam it up, I'll not hold it back. I'll let it flow! As the old song says, "Let the River flow! ... Move in power!" Healing and hope, freedom and forgiveness, mercy and miracles, purity and power -- refreshing, renewing, reviving in us all and all You touch! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may the Mighty River of God's Holy Spirit flow through you today bringing His Life to all He touches, in Jesus' name! Please pray the same for me! God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, February 1 - Knowing "This is the Way"
 
Good morning, Lord Jesus. One with the Father, One with the Holy Spirit, be One with me as I abide in You and You abide in me. "Anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him" (1 Corinthians 6:17). ...
 
As I listen for Your leading, You're bringing this Scripture to mind:  "When you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it" (Isaiah 30:21).
 
Lord, I need to hear Your voice. I need to sense Your leading. You know each challenge before me. And You know how to turn every challenge into an opportunity to make me more like You. That gives me peace and that gives me hope. In a way it makes every day a "no lose" situation when even the hard things You redeem into good things and even my mistakes You redeem in Your mercy. "Though (the righteous) fall seven times, they will rise again" (Proverbs 24:16). And by Your mercy and grace, I'm righteous in You, because You're right here in me -- "Christ in (me), the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).
 
Open my eyes to see. Open my ears to hear. Make my spirit one with Your Spirit so that I know "This is the way" and I can walk in it. "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God" (Romans 8:14).
 
You're bringing to mind a memory from when I was younger and we had horses. I learned that to turn the horse to the left or the right, you were not supposed to jerk the reins in that direction but gently lay the reins on the side of the horse's neck and he would turn. Make me that sensitive, Lord. Bring me into that deeper place of communion with You to sense Your leading and follow Your prompting. 
 
Give me the grace to trust You know what's best and the courage to trust Your leading. Give me the faith to believe the promise of Your Word and the obedience to live it out each day:  "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6). Then I'll know the way; and then I'll walk in it. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My Friend, may you grow in your spiritual sensitivity, abiding in Jesus and one with His Spirit, to know the way to go in every challenge you face, in Jesus' name! Please pray the same for me! God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, January 31 - Don't Miss the Day of Visitation
 
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Lord, I need You and I seek You. Apart from You I can do nothing. So I thank You that I'm never apart from You, and I willingly choose to be desperately dependent upon You. When I'm weak, then I'm strong in the power of Your strength; and Your grace is sufficient for me. Fill me afresh with Your Spirit now, as I embrace Your grace to begin this day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit.  ...
 
"Glorify God in the day of visitation" (1 Peter 2:12 NKJV).
 
One day You'll come again in great glory on the earth. "For the Lord Himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel's call and with the sound of trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with Him to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever" (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). But at the same time, every day between this and that one, You want to come in Your glory here in my heart. Every day is the day of Your visitation for those who lift up our heads and open up our gates "that the King of glory may come in" (Psalm 24:7).
 
So don't let me miss a moment of Your visitation. Don't let me live out a day without acknowledging Your Presence and welcoming Your Spirit into every area of my life and every moment of my day. At Your first coming, You wept over Jerusalem "because (they) did not recognize the time of (their) visitation" (Luke 19:41-44). And You weep now for those who are missing Your visitation every day, living life without Your Presence and Your power and Your grace. 
 
Lord Jesus, open our eyes to see You. Holy Spirit, open our hearts to receive You. Heavenly Father, open our arms to embrace You. Set us free from the deception of self-sufficiency and the pride of self-centeredness that stands as a wall between Your Presence and our need of Your grace. "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.... Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you" (James 4:6-10).
 
Today is the day of our visitation! Today is the day of our salvation! "For God says, 'At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.' Indeed, the 'right time' is now! Today is the day of salvation!" (2 Corinthians 6:2 NLT)  Don't let us miss it. Don't let us miss You. By the power of Your grace, I open wide these gates and let the King of glory come in! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you embrace your day of visitation this day and every day -- embraced by the Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit -- this day and very day, in Jesus' name! Please pray the same for me! God bless you, my friend!
