Good Words for First the Spirit

I'm honored to have such a powerful endorsement from Pastor Jimmy Pruitt, Lead Pastor at Bridge Church and Author Cindy Jones:

“I sat in a class with a large group of people in my own church. It’s an odd place for me to be, being I am the senior pastor. I’m usually teaching a class, leading a study, speaking at a conference, or preaching our Sunday services, however by the middle of the class I wanted to stand up and shout because God released a beautiful revelation to me through Tommy’s practical teaching. I have known Tommy Hays for years and my own family has benefitted first-hand from his personal, practical, and relational ministry.

What is beautiful about Tommy is that he never speaks in terms of theory or potential, but always from the vantage points of faith and real-world experience. Tommy has lived the words, principles, and truths you are about to read. He is both an eye witness and participant in the transformational power of God’s word at work in the lives of thousands of people all over the world. 

His joy is infectious. His confidence in God is unwavering. His passion for the Gospel is compelling. Get ready to embark on a journey of realigning your life according to God’s heart. Challenges will be engaged, clarity will be gained, and your life’s trajectory will be altered for today and for all eternity. Pace yourself as you read this work. Take time to underline, highlight, and take notes because you will want to return to these principles again and again."

—Jimmy Pruitt, Lead Pastor, Bridge Church, Fredericksburg, TX


“Letting go of our desire to determine our path, have our own destiny, and achieve our desired outcome can be daunting and challenging. But, surrendering to God's will is well worth the risk. The surrender leads us to a life filled with joy, comfort, and peace.

With honesty, clarity, and a passion for the Lord, Tommy Hays leads us on a journey to an understanding of the alignment between our spirit, soul, and body. When these are aligned correctly, our spirit can stay plugged into The Holy Spirit and keep our soul and body from directing our thinking and actions.

When Tommy Hays says this concept is revolutionary to many, he is telling the truth! It has realigned my thinking and taught me how to better keep my spirit, soul, and body in the correct order. This concept has enabled me to stay plugged in to the Holy Spirit and to acquire a powerful key that can unlock the door to the relationship with Christ that I so desire."

—Cindy Jones, Author and Teacher

“Spy Out the Land” - June 4, 2021

 

Morning by Morning, June 4 - “Spy Out the Land”

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Let my spirit awaken and arise into the newness of life You have for me today -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...

“Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying, ‘Send out for yourself men so that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I am going to give to the sons of Israel; you shall send a man from each of their fathers' tribes, a leader from each tribe’” (Numbers 13:1–2).

My heart is Your Canaan -- the Promised Land of all You’ve set apart for me according to the promises of Your Word and the unfolding revelation of Your will for my life. If I’m willing to look and listen, to press in and pray, You show me glimpses and shadows of things to come as I “spy out the land.”

Some things You want me to know. Others, it’s best if I don’t. But in it all and through it all, You want me to trust You that it’s “an exceedingly good land” (Numbers 14:7). You want me to trust You that the plans You have for me are good plans, for my good and not for my harm, a future full of hope as I learn to put my faith in You (Jeremiah 29:11).

Come, Holy Spirit. Open the eyes of my heart to see the good land You’ve set before me. This day and every day, show me what I need to see and give me faith for what I don’t yet see. Give me grace to take hold and possess the fullness of my inheritance in You, my Promised Land of Your Abiding Presence with me through my life every step of the way.

As the Apostle Paul prayed by Your Spirit for me and for all who are called to come spy out the land and enter in to our inheritance in You: 

“I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give (us) a spirit of wisdom and revelation as (we) come to know Him, so that, with the eyes of (our) heart enlightened, (we) may know what is the hope to which He has called (us), what are the riches of His glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power for us who believe, according to the working of His great power!” (Ephesians 1:17-19). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you press and pray, with the eyes of your heart enlightened by the Holy Spirit to spy out the good land and take possess of your great inheritance you have in Christ, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

The Increase of the Spirit - June 2, 2021

Morning by Morning, June 2 - The Increase of the Spirit

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Grounded in Your Word, filled with Your Spirit, help me hear Your voice and sense Your leading, as I begin my day in the communion of prayer with You -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ...

“He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30).

Less of me and more of You. Not my will, but Your will. I want to be filled up with You and emptied out of all that’s not yet like You.

The more I surrender, the more You rule and reign, as I entrust my heart and soul to You and Your will and Your ways. Help me, Lord. Help me desire this; and help me do this. You have to give me the desire and the power to trust and to surrender. But You’re faithful to do it if I’m willing. “For God is working in (me), giving (me) the desire and the power to do what pleases Him” (Philippians 2:13 NLT).

And what pleases You is for me to trust You and Your love for me and Your heart to want all that is best for me. Then the more I trust, the more I surrender. The more I surrender, the more You fill me with Your Spirit. As Your Word commands each of us who are willing to trust You and obey You and embrace You in Your mercy and love: “Be filled with the Holy Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).

But to be filled, we must be emptied. For You to increase, we must decrease. Your Spirit only fills us to the degree that we surrender to You.

As we humble ourselves in Your sight, You lift us up (James 4:10). To the degree we humble ourselves in Your sight, to that degree You fill us up. You fill us up and lift us up into the place of Your Presence, in the deep communion of spirit to Spirit, heart to Heart, deep to Deep -- to the degree we surrender our will to Your will and open our heart to Your heart.

Come, Holy Spirit. More of You and less of me today. You must increase, and I must decrease. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you be filled with thanksgiving to our God for those we remember and honor for their sacrifice and service for our freedom and security to be one nation under God, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

“Ride On Victoriously!” - June 1, 2021

 

Morning by Morning, June 1 - “Ride On Victoriously!”

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Your Holy Spirit, I want to begin my day grounded in Your Word and experiencing Your Presence. ...

“In Your majesty ride on victoriously for the cause of truth and to defend the right!” (Psalm 45:4)

Glorious and majestic, strong and mighty in Spirit and Truth, ride on victoriously, O God! No evil shall stand against You. No enemy of the Cross will have ultimate victory. Not one of Your words will fall to the ground unfulfilled.

There’s a need to ride on, for it’s time to advance. There’s a need to fight, for the battle is at hand (v. 5). “You love righteousness and hate wickedness” (v. 7). But even in the battles, with the Sword of the Word of Truth in Your mouth, You also carry the joy of the Lord in Your Spirit -- “anointed” with “the oil of gladness” in measure beyond all others (v. 7). And when the last battle has been fought, when Your eternal victory is won and made manifest on earth as it is in heaven, “Your name (shall) be celebrated in all generations; (and) the peoples will praise You forever and ever! (v. 17)”

Fill my heart with Your victory today! Put Your words in my mouth and Your joy in my spirit. Let me love righteousness and hate wickedness -- not holding back in fear or intimidation, but arising inside in courage and strength to ride on with You “for the cause of truth and to defend the right!” (v. 4) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you ride on victoriously today in every battle at hand, filled with the joy and strength of the Lord for the cause of truth and to defend the right, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Remembering and Honoring Our Fallen Patriots - May 31, 2021

Morning by Morning, May 31 - Remembering and Honoring Our Fallen Patriots

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You’re the Commander of the Army of the Lord (Joshua 5:14; Revelation 19:14). Speak to my heart as I listen for Your command today. ...

"Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your kin, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your home.... Rally to us wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet. Our God will fight for us" (Nehemiah 4:14-20).

On this Memorial Day in America, I “remember the Lord” and I remember the men and women who heard the sound of the trumpet in their hearts to stand and fight for our nation. They are our patriots. And this is more than a long weekend.

I honor them. I remember them. And I thank You for them -- for their sacrifice and their service, for fighting for us that we would have the freedom and security You desire for every nation.

Your Word says, “Our God will fight for us.” And one of the ways You fight for us is through those who answer the call of Your command to defend our land, to fight for what is right, by the power of Your grace alongside the armies of Heaven. No surrender. No retreat.

“The Lord is a warrior. The Lord is His name!” (Exodus 15:3)

“Put on your sword, O Mighty Warrior!
    You are so glorious, so majestic!
In Your majesty, ride out to victory,
    defending truth, humility, and justice.
    Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!” (Psalm 45:3-4).

Thank You for warring on our behalf and on behalf of what is right and just and true in our world. Thank You for the men and women who have honored You by allowing You to fight for us through them.

God bless America. And God bless the men and women who have loved her and fought for her. May she continue to turn to You with a repentant heart, trusting faith, and fearless courage to be and to do all You've destined for her -- all by the power of Your grace, as we seek to be one nation under God. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you be filled with thanksgiving to our God for those we remember and honor for their sacrifice and service for our freedom and security to be one nation under God, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
