Morning by Morning, October 22, 2025 – “Everlasting Dominion” of The Kingdom of God Within Us

 

Morning by Morning, October 22, 2025 – “Everlasting Dominion” of The Kingdom of God Within Us Good morning, Lord Jesus. King of Kings and Lord of Lords, come rule and reign in my heart and every moment of my day (Revelation 19:16). … “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came One like a Son of Man, and He came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion and glory and a Kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him; His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom one that shall not be destroyed” (Daniel 7:13-14). Your Kingdom “shall not pass away.” Your Kingdom is “an everlasting Dominion.” And at the same time, You said Your Kingdom is “within (us)”–within every heart to receives You and surrenders to You and embraces You as King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Luke 17:21). And Your Word says Your Kingdom is “righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17). So come establish Your Kingdom, Your everlasting Dominion, in me by Your Holy Spirit moving in me, forming in me, developing in me Your “righteousness” and Your “peace” and Your “joy.” More of Your nature in the Spirit; less of my nature in the flesh. More of Your ruling and reigning in Your will; less of me ruling and reigning in my will. “Not my will but Your will be done” (Luke 22:42). May this not be just a one-time prayer. Not just a morning by morning prayer or day by day prayer. But a moment by moment prayer from a heart fully and forever surrendered to You, declaring, “Lord Jesus, You have Everlasting Dominion in me and Your Kingdom shall not pass away.” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you grow in the nature and character of our God, fully and forever surrender your heart moment by moment to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who rules and reign in you with an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, in Jesus' name.

Morning by Morning, October 21, 2025 – “Seek First”

 

Morning by Morning, October 21, 2025 – “Seek First” Good morning, Lord Jesus. I look to You and listen for Your Spirit — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ... “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). First thing in the morning, I seek You first. I look to You. I wait for You. I listen for You. First things first. And You are first. You and Your kingdom and Your righteousness. You are the King of the Kingdom of God. You are the One who sets things right with You, right within me, and right with my relationships with others in the righteousness of the Kingdom of God. Then, as I seek You first, as I put You first, You add all these things to me. You add to me peace and love and joy. You add to me protection and provision. You add to me favor and blessing and honor. You add to me open doors and opportunities. You add to me what I need and when I need it to live out the Kingdom of God in my heart and through my life. For “the Kingdom of God is within (me)” (Luke 17:21). “For the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17). So come, Holy Spirit. Keep lifting my eyes and my heart to the King of the Kingdom of God, putting my King first — first in my morning, first in my life, first in all things. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you lift up your eyes and your heart to seek first the King of the Kingdom of God and may all the things you need and all the things God desires for you be added to you, in Jesus' name. God bless you and you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, October 20,2025 – Yes, We Have a King and His Name is Jesus!

 

Morning by Morning, October 20,2025 – Yes, We Have a King and His Name is Jesus! Good morning, Lord Jesus. In these first moments of my morning, I’m leaning in to listen for Your leading (John 10:27). ... We’ve been hearing a lot about “No Kings” these past few days. But it just reminds me that we do have a King. And His name is Jesus! “King of Kings and Lord of Lords!” (Revelation 19:16) And One day soon our eyes will see the Glory of the coming of the King! “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). Come, Lord Jesus! Come rule and reign in my world. Come rule and reign in my heart. “And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ (Revelation 22:17) Lord Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, my King and my Lord, I close my prayer this morning with the closing prayer and proclamation in the closing Words of the closing Book of the Bible: “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I AM coming soon.’ “Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you make room in your heart this day and every day for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to come rule and reign in you and our world, in Jesus' name. God bless you and you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, October 17, 2025 – “Iron Sharpens Iron”

 

Morning by Morning, October 17, 2025 – “Iron Sharpens Iron” Good morning, Lord Jesus. As I rise for my day, may Your Spirit rise in me. ... “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend” (Proverbs 27:17 NLT). I’m away at a men’s retreat down by the Guadalupe River in the Hill Country of Texas for a few days. I’m blessed to be soaking in the relationship of friends and new friends under the leadership of a great friend, Dr. Dave Gentry of Selah Ministries. It’s nice that I’m not the teacher, preacher, pastor or evangelist, just one of the men, here to receive. And at the same time, here to give — as we each give and receive from one another in our encounters and conversations, along our walks and around our table, up on the ridge or under the stars, sharing our lives and hearts to the degree each one desires at the time. In the mix, “iron sharpens iron,” hearts open up, life is exchanged, and we all see some of You in one another in some way that we’re needing — both needing to receive and needing to give. And in the interweaving of relationships with You and with one another, we’re also resting, refilling, recharging in spirit, soul and body. Sharpen me, Lord. Sharpen my wits, sharpen my spirit, sharpen my understanding of Your Word and it’s every-day application in my life. Whittle away more of my flesh as You rekindle more of my spirit. We all know there are battles ahead where we’ll need “the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God” (Ephesians 6:17) to be sharp in our hearts, clear in our minds, ready to be wielded in the power and guidance of Your Spirit, whether within our own souls or for the souls of those we love and the souls You love. This is not a vacation. This is a forge. And in this forge, in this purifying, sanctifying, empowering Fire of Your Spirit, “iron sharpens iron” and warriors are made ready for battle. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be sharpened and ready for battle, as iron sharpens iron in your life by the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name. God bless you and you have a great day!
