All by the Power and Grace of God

  

Personal Prayer Ministry for Inner Healing and Restoration

 

Almost 200 sessions of personal prayer ministry a year for the past several years, while Tommy formerly served as Pastoral Director of Rapha God Ministries. Almost countless other prayer ministry sessions and spiritual direction sessions through 22 years of meeting with people in a loving and safe environment to help them be set free of all that would hold them back from being all the Lord created them to be, receiving healing and freedom in Jesus' name, to be secure in their identity and fulfilling their destiny in Christ. Many sessions were translated in Spanish, and the languages of many nations such as Pakistan, India, Brazil, and Hungary.

 

Evangelistic Meetings, Conferences, and Crusades in the Nations

 

Travelled throughout many states in the US, from Alaska to Florida and almost countless places in between and to the nations, preaching and teaching in churches, retreats, camp meetings, open air gatherings, crusades, prayer revivals, and street ministry, including Pakistan, India, Uganda, Kenya, Israel, the Philippines, Brazil, Costa Rica, El Salvador, England, France, Wales, Estonia, Mexico, and Canada.

Advancing the Unity of the Body of Christ

 

For many years, hosted and led the Greater Lexington Strategic Prayer Summit bringing together prayer warriors and worshippers, pastors and leaders, from across the many diverse streams of the River of God in the Lexington, Kentucky region to seek the Lord's heart for the coming year in unity and agreement in prayer and prophetic proclamation and intercession. Invited by Max Lucado to join him in preaching messages of healing and hope at the monthly First Wednesday Serves of Worship and Healing at Oak Hills Church for six years. Served alongside leaders of other ministries on the Board and Advisory Councils of the Aldersgate Renewal Ministries, National Christian Foundation of Kentucky, Aglow International, Spiritual Leadership, Inc., and Rapha God Ministries.

 

Some Current Projects:

 

Healing Academy--Teaching our Healing Academy for training and equipping for healing prayer ministry on Tuesday Nights over 7 weeks at The Bridge Church in Fredericksburg, Texas. Discerning other invitations in other cities and nations for this teaching and ministry. 

 

Evangelism--Monthly outdoor evangelistic crusades and outreach meetings through our Skype Internet Ministry into Pakistan in partnership with two ministries in Pakistan. I am preaching in a different village each month around Lahore, Pakistan in the Punjab Region. Our local team sets up a big screen in an outdoor meeting usually, while a pastor or evangelist simultaneously interprets my message of hope and healing live in Pakistan. Then we follow up with prayer and discipleship through our ministry partnership. Every month, between 250 and 350 souls are being saved, with many reports of healing miracles. Momentum is growing! Now other invitations with other ministries in the region are coming in with even more opportunities to be part of the awakening revival in Pakistan, such as the Pastors and Leaders Retreat we just led through Skype.

 

"Setting Hearts Free"--An Online Encounter being developed for a webinar teaching and ministry encounter, covering key principles with prayer ministry of healing from fear, trauma, rejection, shame, and emotional wounds and strongholds of the past.

 

Developing podcasts and video blogs--Bringing the transforming power of personal prayer ministry to exponentially more people through media. One series being developed focuses on contemplative prayer to experience a deeper, more intimate prayer life. Another series focuses on teaching key principles of inner healing with prayer ministry encounters. And another series focuses upon equipping and training for the ministry of inner healing and deliverance.

 

On-line personal prayer ministry sessions--Through this time of quarantine in the San Antonio area, but also reaching to many other states and nations. I recently had prayer ministry sessions in Scotland, Poland, and Sweden through Zoom. The Lord is opening doors to make our ministry much more accessible over barriers of distance, language, and cost, as He empowers us to help prepare the Bride and Body of Christ for these days of God's glory and revival in the earth.

 

City-Wide Prayer for Revival--Joining Max Lucado on the leadership team, along with other city leaders, in planning citywide prayer gatherings in San Antonio and the Hill Country region in multiple weekly prayer gatherings for revival in our land.

We praise God for all He has done and will do!

Presidential Proclamation of "Return" to God - September 29, 2020

 Morning by Morning, September 29 - Presidential Proclamation of "Return" to God

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I'm listening for Your leading, as I worship and wait, here in the communion of prayer with You -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...

 

"Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I Am God, and there is no other!" (Isaiah 45:22)

 

The spiritual atmosphere over our nation has shifted. On Saturday the Sabbath of September 26, 2020, I believe heaven has recorded in the Book of Life that America turned to God in repentance and prayer.

 

With the national prayer walk led by Franklin Graham and the national sacred assembly led by Jonathan Cahn, all before the capitol of our nation's seat of government in Washington, I believe You looked to see if there was a remnant who would stand in the gap and call on Your name to turn to You on behalf of our land (Ezekiel 22:30). And we joined in. From homes and churches, from cell phones and laptops, from backyards and living rooms, in our cars and on our knees, all across this land, saying, "Yes. Lord. We hear Your call to repentance and return. We turn to You. We return to You. You are God and there is no other!"

 

With those who joined with us in our little gathering to pray that morning, we were shocked and stunned at the dramatic smashing of the potter's vessel in shattered pieces across the platform, just as the prophet Jeremiah smashed the potter's vessel before people of Israel speaking of the fate of the nation that refuses to turn to God (Jeremiah 19:10). With convicted and repentant hearts across the nation and around the world, we cried out to You in repentance and prayer that this nation would turn to You, return to You, again in our hearts as a nation under God.

 

And then, we were just as shocked and stunned to hear Jonathan Cahn return to read from a fax of the Presidential Proclamation just received and to be publicly declared, following this prophetic act on behalf of our nation. From his position and seat of governmental authority, the President of the United States of America issued his "Presidential Message on the National Day of Prayer and Return, 2020" at that moment on September 26, 2020.

 

It was not just a Proclamation of a National Day of Prayer, but of a National Day of Prayer "and Return." In words which will become known to be historic, expressing humility and faith, repentance and trust on behalf of our nation, the President and First Lady declared they joined "millions of Christians here in the United States and around the world in prayer, as we turn our hearts to our Lord and Savior.... Today, I am pleased to join my voice to yours in thanking God for blessing this nation with great power and responsibility. With reverence, humility and thanksgiving, we beg for His continued guidance and protection."

 

Those words, spoken from that position of governmental authority, personally and on behalf of our nation, carry untold spiritual significance. No doubt, a Spirit of Revival has been released into the heart of our nation. No doubt, we will see evidence in the days to come of a shifting and changing in hearts and homes, in laws and leaders, in words and actions, and in more than we can imagine across this land. No doubt, the spiritual battles will intensify, the choices and their consequences will become more clear, and the fruit and move of God will become more dramatic among us. For "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" (Psalm 33:12).

 

Come, Holy Spirit! Breathe new life into these dry bones of our nation to arise and return to become and fulfill all You've desired to do in us and through us as a nation under God! (Ezekiel 37:1-14) "Sleeper, awake! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!" (Ephesians 5:14)

 

This revival, this awakening at hand, is the move of Your Spirit moving in our hearts to turn our hearts completely to You. This revival and awakening is Your power at work within us to restore us to righteousness, to pursue Your holiness, to trust in You alone as the Lord our God. And all by the power of Your grace, we will be that light to the nations and that city on a hill we've been called to be and prophesied to be for such a time as this! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you stirred up in your spirit, filled afresh with the Holy Spirit, as you continue to pray for and expect and witness the great awakening and revival in our land and in the earth, pressing through the spiritual opposition and on to the victory and great harvest we have in Jesus, in Jesus name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

  

Praise Report from Preaching in Pakistan Monday though our Skype Internet Ministry!

Friends, I'm excited to share this praise report I just received from Pastor Rizwan Fazal after our outdoor evangelistic meeting in a new village for our outreach in Pakistan last night: "Thanks very much to share Word of God with people of Pakistan in Kot Radha Kishan Village. Thanks Lord 406 Souls are Saved and 32 Persons are Healed from different things!" Praise God!

 

Thank you so much for all your prayers, encouragement, and support for us to be able to hold these monthly evangelistic outreach meetings through our Internet Ministry into Pakistan. Each month, I am preaching in different villages around Lahore, Pakistan in the Punjab Region through Skype in these outdoor evangelistic meetings. Leading our local team, Pastor Rizwan Fazal sets up a big screen in an outdoor meeting usually and interprets my message of hope and healing live in Pakistan. Then we follow up with prayer and discipleship through our partnership of ministry with Pastor Fazal and his wife. We're excited to see what God is doing in these days of revival in Pakistan!

"And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come!" 

(Matthew 24:14)

Day of Atonement, Fulfilled in Jesus, "Once for All" - September 28, 2020

Morning by Morning, September 28 - Day of Atonement, Fulfilled in Jesus, “Once for All”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. On this Day of Atonement, I look to You   -- the One who alone can atone for our sins and set things right between our holy God and an unholy people. ...

 

“But when Christ came as a High Priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation), He entered once for all into the Holy Place, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, with the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer, sanctifies those who have been defiled so that their flesh is purified, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living God!” (Hebrews 9:11-14).

 

Under the Old Covenant, the sacrifice for the sins of the high priest and the people of Israel was to be made once a year on the Day of Atonement, throughout all their generations forever (Exodus 30:9-10; Leviticus 16:1-35). It was to be a day of complete rest, with no work, as the people fasted and prayed in repentance for their sins.

 

The blood of a bull was shed and offered for the sins of the high priest and the blood of a goat was shed and offered for the sins of the people. Then the high priest was commanded to “lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over it all the iniquities of the people of Israel, and all their transgressions, and all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and sending it away into the wilderness by means of someone designated for the task. The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to a barren region; and the goat shall be set free in the wilderness” (Leviticus 16:21-22).

 

All of this was a type and a shadow of what was to come and be fulfilled in You as our Eternal Sacrifice, the “Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world” (John 1:29) and our “Great High Priest” who has forever offered Yourself as our Sacrifice and dashed Your own blood upon the Mercy Seat of God that our relationship with God may be set right and restored through Your mercy and grace (Hebrews 4:14-16).

 

The Messianic Prophecy of Isaiah written nearly eight hundred years before the coming of the Messiah and Savior of all the world, Jesus the Christ, speaks of the One who will take upon Himself all our sins and set us free: “The Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all.... For He shall bear their iniquities....” (Isaiah 53:6,11).

 

Speaking of the One to come who would be our Sacrifice and Atonement once and for all, Your Prophecy of Isaiah Chapter 53 declares of our Messiah and Savior:

 

“Who has believed what we have heard?
    And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For He grew up before Him like a young plant,
    and like a root out of dry ground;
He had no form or majesty that we should look at Him,
    nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.
He was despised and rejected by others;
    a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity;
and as one from whom others hide their faces
    He was despised, and we held Him of no account.

Surely He has borne our infirmities
    and carried our diseases;
yet we accounted Him stricken,
    struck down by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
    crushed for our iniquities;
upon Him was the punishment that made us whole,
    and by His bruises (“stripes” KJV) we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have all turned to our own way,
and the Lord has laid on Him
    the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, and He was afflicted,
    yet He did not open His mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
    and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
    so He did not open His mouth.
By a perversion of justice He was taken away.
    Who could have imagined His future?
For He was cut off from the land of the living,
    stricken for the transgression of my people.
They made His grave with the wicked
    and His tomb with the rich,  
although He had done no violence,
    and there was no deceit in His mouth.

Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush Him with pain. 
When You make His life an offering for sin, 
    He shall see His offspring, and shall prolong His days;
through Him the will of the Lord shall prosper.

Out of His anguish He shall see light; 
He shall find satisfaction through His knowledge.
    The Righteous One, My Servant, shall make many righteous,
    and He shall bear their iniquities.

Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great,
    and He shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because He poured out Himself to death,
    and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet He bore the sin of many,
    and made intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:1-2).

 

Today is the holiest day of the Jewish people, when they fast and pray throughout the earth on this Yom Kippur. Yet there is no longer a high priest or temple or a sacrifice of bulls and goats for sin. The temple was destroyed, just as You said. The veil of the temple, where the high priest would go behind into the Holy Place one time a year before the mercy seat of God, was ripped in two, from top to bottom, at the moment of Your Sacrifice upon the cross for us all -- both Jew and Gentile (Matthew 27:51).

 

As You proclaimed, “It is finished!” (John 19:30). And on this holy day, the Day of Atonement, I thank You and praise You for Your Sacrifice for me and for all, “once for all” (Hebrews 9:12). All my sins were laid upon You, that I am now forgiven and free, restored in righteousness by Your blood to be right with God (Hebrews 9:23-28). So today, in both deepest humility for my sins but also with highest praise that they are all forgiven in You, I praise You and thank You that every day I can “come boldly to the throne of grace” where I have obtained mercy and grace through what You have done for me, once and for all! (Hebrews 4:16) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

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

My friend, may you know you are forgiven and free through the Blood Sacrifice and Atonement of Jesus Christ, as You humble yourself turn to Him in faith for all He has done for you, in Jesus name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

"Go Up" to the Battle in Victory! - September 24, 2020

 Morning by Morning, September 24 - "Go Up" to the Battle in Victory!

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Speak into my spirit, as I listen for Your leading, here in these first moments of my morning -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ...

 

"Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the valley of Rephaim. David inquired of the Lord, 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You give them into my hand?' The Lord said to David, 'Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.' So David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. He said, 'The Lord has burst forth against my enemies before me, like a bursting flood.' Therefore that place is called Baal-perazim. The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them away" (2 Samuel 5:18-21).

 

Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of darkness in every form they present themselves (Ephesians 6:12). They are our "Philistines" who "come and spread out" before us with intimidation, control, and fear, with mockery, ridicule, and deceit, with the weapons of their warfare that are meant to steal, kill, and destroy in our lives (John 10:10). They especially love to "spread out" in "the valley" places in our lives to kick us when we're down, to try to keep us from looking up or seeing past their wicked plans and cruel assaults.

 

But our God is greater! "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world!" (1 John 4:4) "Nothing is impossible with God!" (Luke 1:37) And "all things are possible to the one who believes!" (Mark 9:23)

 

Like David, You call us to "inquire of the Lord," to listen for Your voice, to trust in Your plan, and to believe by faith, lived out in our words and actions in alignment with Your will. And if we will listen, we will hear You when You say, "Go up! For I will certainly give them into your hands!"

 

Our enemies were defeated the day they nailed Your hands to a cross (Colossians 2:13-15).  And now by the power of Your grace, You enforce that victory of the cross in our lives, as we agree with You and call on Your name, to bring us through our valleys and burst through our enemies like a bursting flood of Your unstoppable power and unrelenting love for us! As You've promised in Your Word and invite us to believe and declare in the authority of Your name and power of Your blood: "The God of peace will shortly crush Satan under your feet! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!" (Romans 16:20)

 

Yes, Lord! As best as I can and all by Your grace, I choose to "Go up" and run to the battle today, as You enforce the victory of Your cross and burst through my enemies! I choose to believe You've already given them into my hands and will soon crush them under my feet! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you go up to the battle in victory, as the Lord bursts through your enemies when you look up to Him, listen for His voice, obey His command, and trust all He has done for you through the victory of His cross, in Jesus name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
