Morning by Morning, June 1, 2026 — A New Heaven in the Earth One Day and Also in Our Hearts Today

 

Morning by Morning, June 1, 2026 — A New Heaven in the Earth One Day and Also in Our Hearts Today Good morning, Lord Jesus. I begin my day speaking Your name, for there’s power in Your name and peace in Your Presence. … As I wait for Your leading this morning, this Word comes to mind, speaking of a day to come: “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away’” (Revelation 21:1-4). One day heaven will come to earth. No more sorrow. No more pain. Death will be swallowed up in the victory of Life. And nothing will separate us from the love and power and Presence of our God. You will be our God and we will be Your people, and You will dwell among us forever and ever. And, at the same time, we can also embrace Your heaven in us now. As You said long ago, You continue to declare today by Your Spirit to all who have ears to hear and a heart to receive: “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:20-21). We don’t have to wait for the day the New Jerusalem of the Kingdom of God comes down from heaven. And we don’t have to wait to go to heaven when we die. We can have heaven in our hearts today! We can experience and embrace the Kingdom of God within us—right here, right now, this day and every day—as we proclaim You as King of Kings and Lord of Lords in our hearts (1 Timothy 6:15; Revelation 19:16). “For the Kingdom of God is … righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17). Come, Holy Spirit. Establish the Kingdom of God in my heart today. Come, Lord Jesus. Come rule and reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords in my heart today. Come, my Heavenly Father. You are our God and we are Your people, as You dwell among and live within us by Your Spirit. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God, You are One and You are holy and You come to establish Your heaven in our hearts every day as a foretaste, as a first-fruits, as a foreshadowing of that great and glorious day to come when the New Jerusalem comes down from heaven in the “new heaven” and “new earth” to come. “Nevertheless we, according to His promises, look for a new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:13). Let it be so in me today. All by the power of Your grace at work within me and within all who are called by Your name and embrace You and Your Kingdom in our hearts. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you embrace the Kingdom of God within you every day, as we look forward to the glorious day of the new heavens and new earth to come, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, May 29, 2026 — “One Spirit with Him”

Morning by Morning, May 29, 2026 — “One Spirit with Him” Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up my eyes and open up my heart to embrace You in every area of my life and every moment of my day, as I abide in You and You abide in me (John 15:4). … You’re One with our Father, One with the Holy Spirit, and in the mercy and grace of God, in the great mystery of faith, You desire to be One with me and every son and daughter of God: “But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him” (1 Corinthians 6:17). This “oneness” of our hearts with Yours, our spirits with Yours, is almost beyond our human comprehension. Yet it is Your deep desire, as You expressed in one of Your last prayers on earth in Your humanity as Son of Man before returning to heaven after Your resurrection as Son of God: “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me” (John 17:20-23). My human mind can’t fully grasp and comprehend this truth, this possibility of a spiritual reality, where I am “one” with You, “one spirit” with You. But I choose to believe this by faith, to embrace this in obedience, in spirit and truth, by the grace of God. Lord God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—may I learn to grow and live into this truth of this spiritual reality more and more every day on my spiritual journey with You. “Grace upon grace” (John 1:16) and “faith to faith” (Romans 1:17). “For in (You), we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you embrace and grow into the reality of this spiritual truth more and more every day, from grace to grace and faith to faith, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, May 28, 2026 — First in Priority for Spiritual Intimacy with God

Morning by Morning, May 28, 2026 — First in Priority for Spiritual Intimacy with God Good morning, Lord Jesus. I begin my day seeking to abide in You, as You abide in me (John 15:4). … As I wait for the leading of Your Holy Spirit, this comes to my heart: “Seek Me first. Then I will be first. First in all your heart. First in all you are. First in all you do.” … Yes, Lord. This Scripture from Your written Word comes to mind immediately in confirmation of what I believe I’m hearing in my heart as Your spoken word: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). So simple. And at the same time, so profound. So simple. And such a key to my spiritual journey with You. You must be first. You must be the priority. And that has to begin with the first moments of my morning and then continue throughout the moments of my day. David expressed the same thing, this same perspective of heart and spiritual priority: “One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple” (Psalm 27:4) “To inquire in (Your) temple” is to abide with You in my heart, as You abide with me in my heart (John 15:4). For my heart is Your temple, where I pursue You and embrace You and live out the moments of my day in communion with You—heart to Heart, spirit to Spirit, deep to Deep. With You as my Priority, seeking You first, I experience the Promise and Truth of Your Word from Your invitation to spiritual intimacy: “But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him” (1 Corinthians 6:17). Lord, keep me in that place of spiritual intimacy with You. This I desire. This I seek. That I may dwell with You and You dwell within me, that You may be First in my life right here, right now, and throughout the moments of my day, 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 seek the Lord first as your first priority, in the first moments of your morning and throughout the moments of your day, abiding in Him as He abides in you, heart to Heart, spirit to Spirit, deep to Deep, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, May 27, 2026 – An Open Door

 

Morning by Morning, May 27, 2026 – An Open Door Good morning, Lord Jesus. Put Your thoughts in my mind and Your desires in my heart, as I begin my day in the communion of prayer with You. … As I wait for Your leading, what comes to my heart this morning is this: “See the doors I am opening for you. Step through as I lead.” … Yes, Lord. And now this Word from Your Scripture comes to mind: “For a great and effective door has opened to me...” (1 Corinthians 16:9).   Give me eyes to see and a heart to perceive what You’re showing me and where You’re leading me. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Romans 8:14). Relationships often open doors. Whether in the natural realm or the spiritual realm. And open doors are opportunities to advance, opportunities to move forward into a new room, a new realm. We pass from where we have been to where we are to be. The most important relationship we have is our relationship with You. And when we’re growing in our relationship with You, You open the doors before us that lead us to where You want us to be—whether physically or spiritually, whether in our world or in our hearts. The Apostle Paul recognized the “great and effective door” You opened for him. He was ready to walk through it, ready to enter into the season and place You had set apart for him and his place in Your kingdom. He sensed by Your Holy Spirit when it was time to stay and time to go, when it was time to plant and time to harvest. Lord, make me sensitive to do the same. Open my eyes to see the doors You open for me. Position me in the right relationships You have chosen for me for my place in Your kingdom in each season. I’ll know the doors You’re opening when my eyes and heart are looking to the One who is my Door. As You said to Your first disciples, so You continue to speak to every disciple, “I am the Door” (John 10:9). You are my Door. You are the most important relationship I have. And I say, Yes, Lord. I am available to You, surrendered to You, committed to following You through every door You open for me. Give me grace to see Your open doors and the courage and obedience I need to walk through them to be right where You want me to be in this season and every season. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you have eyes to see the open doors the Lord has for you and the courage and obedience to walk through them to be where the Lord calls you to be in this season and every season, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
