A Decree for 2023 - January 9, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, January 9 - A Decree for 2023

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Your sheep hear Your voice and follow Your leading (John 10:3). So I’m listening for Your leading, as I begin my day deliberately, intentionally looking to You and waiting for You. ...

 

What comes to my heart are the words I believe You gave me this weekend to share with the Online Connect Group Leaders of MorningStar Ministries, gathered from here and several other nations from around the world. I was asked to seek the Holy Spirit for a decree that we could make together in prayer and proclamation at this beginning of 2023 (Revelation 1:6; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 Peter 4:10-11; Romans 8:14-17; 1 Corinthians 14:3).  What I shared with them, I believe also applies to all of us in the Body and Bride of Christ in this year of overcoming challenges with persistent faith and courageous boldness:

While praying, I had a vision in my heart of the three Hebrew young men in the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel, Chapter 3.

 

Nebuchadnezzar had made a decree that all the inhabitants of his kingdom would bow down and worship his golden image, and that whoever would not bow down and worship would be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire. But there were three who would not — Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They made their own decree back to the king, boldly declaring:

 

“If our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire and out of your hand, O king, He will deliver us. But if not, be it know to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods and we will not worship the golden statue that you have set up” (Daniel 3:16).

 

They were thrown into the fiery furnace, but there was Another in the fire with them. They were delivered through the fire so that they did not even smell of smoke.

 

After seeing their witness of faith and boldness of heart, Nebuchadnezzar made another decree: “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him!” (Daniel 3:28)

 

Father God, we decree in the name of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit for the MorningStar Online Connect Group Leaders in 2023:

 

You are our King of Kings and our Lord of Lords! (Revelation 19:16) Whatever fires we face this year — whether from the furnace of the Fire of the Holy Spirit to test us or from the furnace of the fire of the spirit of this world to destroy us; whether in the circumstances of our own hearts or in the hearts of those we’ve been entrusted to serve and to lead — we will not bow down and worship the idols of this world; but we will worship the One True God! “For indeed our God is a Consuming Fire!” (Hebrews 12:29)

 

This Scripture now rises up from my spirit and into my mind from Psalm 24:1-6:

 

“The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,

the world, and those who live in it;

for He has founded it on the seas,

and established it on the rivers.

Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

And who shall stand in His holy place?

Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,

who do not lift up their souls to what is false,

and do not swear deceitfully.

They will receive blessing from the Lord,

and vindication from the God of their salvation.

Such is the company of those who seek Him,

who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah

 

We decree that in 2023 we will ascend the hill of the Lord, we will stand in His holy place, by the grace of God. We will have clean hands and pure hearts, by the Blood of Jesus. We will not lift up our souls to what is false and we will fear no evil, by the power of the Holy Spirit. And we will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from the God of our salvation, for we are sons and daughters of God, manifesting the character of God in boldness and faith, as a witness and testimony to the principalities and powers of this world for the glory of God, being made manifest in us (Ephesians 3:10).

 

The words of an old worship song by Chris Tomlin rise up in my spirit now, as our decree of humility and faith before You:

 

We bow our hearts, we bend our knees;

Oh Spirit come make us humble.

We turn our eyes from evil things;

Oh Lord we cast down our idols.

So give us clean hands and give us pure hearts.

Let us not lift our souls to another....

Oh God let us be a generation that seeks

Who seeks Your face, oh God of Jacob!

 

Lord, let it be so — in our hearts and in 2023! In Jesus’ name we pray and in the authority of the mighty name of Jesus we decree! Amen.


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

 

My friend, may you be empowered by the Holy Spirit to overcome every challenge you face with persistent faith and bold courage, as you continue to grow into the spiritual maturity of Christlikeness, in Jesus' name. God bless you!

The Holy Communion of Oneness with Christ - January 6, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, January 6 - The Holy Communion of Oneness with Christ


Good morning, Lord Jesus. You’re One with the Father, One with the Holy Spirit, and in the mystery of faith and mercy of God, You desire to be One with me and with all who join themselves to You. “The one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him” (1 Corinthians 6:17 NASB). ...


As You prayed for each of us at the end of Your earthly days, in Your High Priestly Prayer:


“I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, that they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me” (John 17:20-21).


Our unity in the communion of oneness with You -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God -- is more than our spiritual intimacy with You, it’s also part of our witness to the world. Just as You continued in Your Prayer:


The glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and You loved them, just as You loved Me” (John 17:22-23).


You want us with You, wherever You are; and You want us to be as one with You, wherever we are. As You continued to pray:


“Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world” (John 17:24).


This unity in the holy communion of oneness with You, Lord Jesus, is a deep yearning of Your heart and powerful witness of Your love. As You expressed with passion in the final words of Your High Priestly Prayer:


“Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them” (John 17:25-26).


It’s only by Your grace, only through faith, and in a way that we can hardly grasp with our human minds and limited understanding that we “may become partakers of the divine nature” in our communion with You (2 Peter 1:4). Seeking You, surrendering to You, embracing You by the grace in which You are embracing us -- spirit to Spirit, heart to Heart, deep to Deep -- we are joined together with You, united as one with You.


That’s all part of what it means to be “the body of Christ” (1 Corinthians 12:27), to be “the bride” of Christ (Revelation 21:9), to have “the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16), to be filled with “the Spirit of Christ” (Romans 8:9). “Christ in (us), the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). “If we have become one with Christ in His death, we will be one with Him in being raised from the dead to new life” (Romans 6:5 NLV).


Thank You for the gift of this holy and intimate communion with You, this unity with You, this spiritual journey of becoming one with You -- day by day, moment by moment, morning by morning. “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with (us) all” (2 Corinthians 13:14). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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

 

My Friend, may you be as one with Christ, joining with Him in the holy and intimate communion of oneness with Him -- spirit to Spirit, heart to Heart, deep to Deep, in Jesus' name. God bless you!

“Astonished” by “The Boy Jesus” Who is “About My Father’s Business” - January 5, 2023



Morning by Morning, January 5 - “Astonished” by “The Boy Jesus” Who is “About My Father’s Business”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. As I draw near to You, You draw near to me -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God (James 4:8). ...

 

“(Jesus’) parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it; but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, ‘Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.’ And He said to them, ‘Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?’ But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them” (Luke 2:41-50).

 

We often think of Jesus as the Baby in the manger at Christmas time or the Lord Jesus waking, talking, and teaching His disciples while ministering to the people or our Savior Jesus upon the Cross as the Sacrifice for our sins or even the King of Kings and Lord of Lords Jesus coming in glory on His white horse to judge the nations at the end of days. But there is also “the Boy Jesus.”

 

It's as “the Boy Jesus” that You “increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” (v. 52). And it’s even as “the Boy Jesus” that You were already “about (Your) Father’s business” (v. 49). You were “in the temple” while You were “listening” to the teachers and “asking them questions” (v. 46). But even then, even as “the Boy Jesus,” everyone who heard You was “astonished” at Your wisdom and understanding.

 

On my own journey from conception to adulthood, from my new birth in Christ to my maturity in Christ, let me be found “in the temple” -- in the place where Your Presence dwells. Let me be listening and learning to the Word of God and growing in relationship with the One who is the Word of God (John 1:1, 14). And let me never cease to be “astonished” at Your wisdom, as I marvel in Your Presence that You are the God who is with me, who draws near to me, as I draw near to You (Matthew 1:23; James 4:6). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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

 

My friend, may you always be drawing near to Jesus as He draws near to You, never ceasing to be astonished at His wisdom and Presence, growing you up into spiritual maturity, in Jesus' name. God bless you!

Growing in Wisdom and Stature and Favor with God and with Man - January 4, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, January 4 - Growing in Wisdom and Stature and Favor with God and with Man

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I begin my day seeking Your face and listening for Your voice in the communion of prayer -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...

 

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52 RSV).

 

You are both Son of God and Son of Man, truly God and truly man. And in that dimension of Your humanity, You “humbled (Yourself)” to be “born in the likeness of men,” and You grew from a child to a man. During those thirty-three years You walked this earth in humanity, You “emptied (Yourself)” from “the form of God” and set aside “equality with God ... being found in human form” (Philippians 2:5-8). As a man, You lived Your life on this earth in perfect faithfulness to God the Father -- only doing what You saw Him doing, only speaking what You heard Him speaking -- in perfect surrender and obedience, as You “became obedient unto death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8).

 

Sometimes we can overemphasis Your Deity and underemphasize Your humanity. But the truth is, in that human dimension of Your Being, You “became obedient” and You “increased in wisdom.” In other words You grew in spiritual maturity from the moment You were conceived by the Holy Spirit in Mary’s womb to the moment gave up Your Spirit and breathed Your last breath from the Cross to declare, “It is finished” (John 19:30). “Although (You were) a Son, (You) learned obedience through what (You) suffered” throughout Your spiritual journey through this broken and fallen world (Hebrews 5:8).

 

In this way, You are not only our Savior, but You’re also our Example. You show us how to grow up in spiritual maturity, how to in increase in Godly wisdom, how to become obedient in committed faithfulness through all that we suffer and endure and overcome by the power of Your grace on our own spiritual journey through this same broken and fallen world. You empower us by Your Spirit to “Let the same mind be in (us) that was in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5).

 

By the power of Your grace at work within us by Your Holy Spirit, we keep growing and increasing, in favor with God and with man, “until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.... no longer children.... But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ” (Ephesians 4:13-15).

 

So I look to You as my Lord and as my Example. As I seek You and behold You, as I worship You and become one with You, You are making me more like You each day (2 Corinthians 3:18; John 17:22-23). You are causing me to grow up and increase, just like You, as I “follow in (Your) steps” (1 Peter 2:21) and mature into Your likeness (1 John 4:17). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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

 

My friend, may you be empowered by the Holy Spirit to keep growing in wisdom and stature and favor with God and with man on your spiritual journey to become more like Jesus each day, in Jesus' name. God bless you!

Hungry for the Presence of God Like Anna - January 3, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, January 3 - Hungry for the Presence of God Like Anna

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Listening for Your leading, I’m watching and waiting for You to bring Your thoughts to my mind and Your words to my heart. ...

 

“And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of Him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem” (Luke 2:36-38).

 

Along with the prophet Simeon, the prophetess Anna was there that day Mary and Joseph dedicated You to God at the temple, as they “performed everything according to the Law of the Lord” (v. 39). It was no accident Anna and Simeon were there. Simeon had longed to see You before he died (v. 26) and Anna wouldn’t leave the temple until she found the One she was waiting for as “the redemption of Jerusalem” and Savior of all (v. 38).

 

The heart of Anna speaks of a heart that’s hungry for the Presence of God. She was always at the temple -- worshipping and watching and waiting. Hungering and thirsting for more of You with fasting, pressing in for more of You with persevering prayer. As You would later say, maybe even with Anna in mind, along with all who are never satisfied with settling for something less that all You have for them in their spiritual life, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). As the apostle Paul would later express, “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). And as James, Your brother, would encourage us all, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8).

 

You drew near to Anna. You came to personally answer her prayers. She came to the temple to encounter You. And she did.

 

Lord, give me a deeper hunger for Your Presence. May I pray without ceasing down in my spirit, which is Your temple in my heart, where I can encounter You night and day (1 Corinthians 6:19). Even as I go about my day, I don’t have to depart from this temple or leave this place of the abiding Presence of God, where I can keep connected with You -- heart to Heart, spirit to Spirit, deep to Deep. Just as You promise, “Abide in Me, as I abide in you” (John 15:4). “You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord” (Jeremiah 29:13-14). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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

 

My friend, may you be hungry in your heart for the abiding Presence of God -- passionately pursuing the Lord -- hear to Heart, spirit to Spirit, deep to Deep, in Jesus' name. God bless you!
