Morning by Morning, October 30, 2024 - Jesus “Lord of All”

 

Morning by Morning, October 30, 2024 - Jesus “Lord of All”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You be high and lifted up, here in my heart and every moment of my day. ...

 

“Then Peter opened his mouth and said: ‘In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:  how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.’

 

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word” (Acts 10:34-43).

 

Holy Spirit, fall upon me as I hear the word. Fall upon me as I take in the word and let the word become a part of me. Fall upon me afresh this morning and fill me up every morning to go about my day as one of Your “witnesses chosen before by God” along with “whoever believes in (Jesus)” to “receive remission of sins.”

 

Lord Jesus, as One with the Holy Spirit and One with the Father, You are “ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.” You are my Judge--not a government, not a political personality, not even my own heart. You are the One who has been given “all authority” that’s “in heaven and earth” and have sent me to be one of Your “disciples” being sent to “make disciples of all nations” in our generation (Matthew 28:18-19).

 

You are Lord of my life, Lord of all that I am and all that I have and all that I’ll do. Your “Lord of all” (Acts 10:36). By the moving of Your Holy Spirit in me, by the power of Your mercy and grace at work within me to the glory of my Father in heaven, may my life reveal and reflect that Truth--this day and every day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you be empowered by the One who is Lord of all to be His witness in your world today, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, October 29, 2024 - “The Lord is My Shepherd”

 

Morning by Morning, October 29, 2024 - “The Lord is My Shepherd”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You steady my soul as I wait on You in the communion of prayer. ...

 

As I wait on You and listen for Your leading this morning -- embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit -- one of the first Scriptures I ever learned, as my mom would lead us in prayer at night, comes to mind:

 

“The Lord is my shepherd;

I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul;

He leads me in the paths of righteousness

For His name’s sake.

 

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

For You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

 

“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

My cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life;

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord

Forever” (Psalm 23:1-6).

 

One of my first, One of my favorites, One that is sealed in my heart forever.

 

Every word is my prayer. Every word is a declaration of Your goodness and mercy and my desperate dependence upon You alone for all I am and all I need -- right now this morning, throughout every moment of this day, and “All the days of my life.” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you be comforted in the Presence of your Good Shepherd leading you in His paths all the days of your life, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, October 28, 2024 - “Jesus is King!”

 

Morning by Morning, October 28, 2024 - “Jesus is King!”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up Your name in my heart, in my words, in the moments of my day (John 12:32). ...

Today, I declare to You and to all who join with me in these morning prayers the truth of Your Word being revealed in our world: “Jesus is King!” You are “King of Kings and Lord of Lords!”

 

“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

 

KING OF KINGS AND

LORD OF LORDS

(Revelation 19:11-16).

 

And though we face battles every day in this broken and fallen world where You are at work by Your Spirit in the ministry of redeeming all things “until the times of restoration of all things” (Acts 3:21), our eyes are on You, our hearts are with You, our hope is in You.

Even in the darkest times, in the greatest intensity of spiritual warfare fully manifesting in the battles of our world, You will rule and reign in victory over the darkness:

 

“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:12-14).

 

In whatever measure we experiencing the battles with darkness in our days, we declare, “Jesus is King!” We declare, “the Lamb will overcome!” And may we be found faithful, looking to You as those who are “with (You),” who are “called, chosen, and faithful.”

 

“Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” (1 Corinthians 15:57) “(Your) dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and (Your) kingdom one that shall not be destroyed!” (Daniel 7:14) “(You) will (fully) manifest (Your kingdom) in (Your) own time, He who is the blessed and only sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords!” (1 Timothy 6:15)

 

Again I declare in the freedom I have, “Jesus is King!” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you be empowered with boldness to declare "Jesus is King!" in your heart and in your world to the glory of God, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, October 25, 2024 - “In the Beginning” was God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit in His Oneness and Glory

 

Morning by Morning, October 25, 2024 - “In the Beginning” was God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit in His Oneness and Glory

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. My eyes are on You, here in the focused moments of my morning -- “looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of (my) faith” (Hebrews 12:2). ...

 

As I wait on You and listen for Your leading, as I seek to do in these morning times, this Scripture comes to mind today:

 

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it....

 

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:1-5, 14).

 

Lord Jesus, You are the Word of God. You were there “in the beginning” and You’re also with us “always” (Matthew 28:20). You are “Immanuel ... God with us (Matthew 1:23).

 

The first Words of Scripture speak of You and Your action of creation, in Your Oneness and glory, as One with the Father and One with the Holy Spirit: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). “The Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:2). And as the Word of God, You were there in the unity of the Spirit and the Oneness of God (John 1:1).

 

The original Hebrew Word translated as “God” in Genesis 1:1 is the word “Elohim,” which is not a singular word, but a plural word, speaking of one God, with multiple dimensions of a plurality. As the account of creation in this first Chapter of the Bible goes to declare, “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness” (Genesis 1:26).

 

The whole counsel of God, the whole of Scripture, gives us understanding and revelation that You are not three gods, but One God in three Persons of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who were all, as One, actively engaged in the creation of our world “in the beginning.”

 

You expressed this concept of Oneness in a plurality of Your Identity when You said, “I and My Father are One” (John 10:30). And when You said, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.... I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me” (John 14:9-11). And when You said, “the Father ... will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever -- the Spirit of Truth ... you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you” (John 14:16-17). And as You confirmed, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him” (John 14:23).

 

Thank You for creating our world and creating us -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. And thank You for giving us the grace to fulfill the Word of Your Command to go into our world grounded and growing in the understanding of this revelation of the Oneness of Your Identity, revealed in these three Persons and Dimensions of God: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” and reminding us of the Promise of Your Eternal Presence, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).

 

And now: “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 filled with the light and life of God, as you go into your world today, worshipping and embracing the One who's been there from the beginning and even before, and who is now with you always and forever, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
