Via con Dios! -- Go with God! - January 26, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, January 26 - Via con Dios! -- Go with God!

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me start my day well -- grounded in Your Word and filled with Your Spirit -- to walk with You closely through every moment set before me. ...

“These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: ‘Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:5-8 NKJV).

Just as You sent out Your first disciples, You are still sending out Your disciples today. As You are, so are we to be in our world (1 John 4:17). By the grace of God and in the plan of God, the same Spirit that raised You from the dead lives in us (Romans 8:11). The same Spirit that moves in the power of God to proclaim the Gospel, to heal the sick, to cast out demons, to bring forth the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven, lives in us. We are “the body of Christ” in our world (1 Corinthians 12:27), “filled with the Spirit” of Christ to minister the power and the love of God in our world (Ephesians 5:18; Acts 1:8).

Like those first disciples, You gave them boundaries and instructions for their assignment. You encouraged them and empowered them for their assignment as You sent them. When You told them where to go and what to do “As you go,” they knew they went with God and God went with them.

As I write this, I think of the Spanish blessing, “Via con Dios” -- “Go with God.

In the morning, my wife and I will “Go with God” on our assignment to Morelia, Mexico for two weeks of ministry there. You’ve given us our boundaries and our instructions for this assignment. And the assignment hasn’t changed -- proclaim the coming of the kingdom of God and see You demonstrate the coming of Your kingdom through the power and the love of God everywhere you send us. Heal the sick; cast out demons. Lift up the name of Jesus. See the glory of God made manifest here on earth as it is in heaven. As we go, we know we go with God! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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

My friend, may you you know you go with God on your assignment today, grounded in His Word and filled with His Spirit, to proclaim His Gospel with your life everywhere He sends you -- whether in person or in prayer, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

Morning by Morning, January 25 - Life in the Spirit

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Fixing my eyes on You, I watch and wait for the leading of Your Spirit (Hebrews 12:2). For the sons and daughters of God our Father are led by the Spirit of God who abides within us (Romans 8:14). ...

“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you” (Romans 8:9-11 NKJV).

Come, Holy Spirit. I welcome You here in my heart and here in every moment of my day. Guide my steps. Direct my path. Put Your thoughts in my mind and Your desires in my heart. Help me lean not on my own understanding, but trust in You with all my heart -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God -- even every choice I’ll make and every challenge I’ll face (Proverbs 3:5-6).

This is living life “in the Spirit” instead of living life “in the flesh.”

More of Your Spirit; less of my flesh. More of You as the Source of all I am and all I need and all I do; less of me trying to be and do and find fulfillment in my own ways in my own strength and my own wisdom apart from You. You must increase; I must decrease, in the sense my growing trust in You and deeper surrender to You in all that I am and all that I have, all I will ever be and all I ever will have (John 3:30).

“The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter until the full day” (Proverbs 4:18). I’m not righteous by anything I have done, but by all that You have done. And I’m on “the path of the righteous” -- step by step, day by day, morning by morning, from glory to glory -- only because the Righteous One lives in me -- “the Spirit of Christ” in me (Romans 8:9); “Christ in (me), the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).

So as I entrust my life and my day to You -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- I trust Your nature and surrender to Your will to come live this day through me. Another day of “life in the Spirit” -- “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25).

Let it be said and let it be so, all by the power of Your grace and life of Your Spirit living in me, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you be filled with Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ in you, the hope of God's glory arising and shining and living through you today, as you live this day in the life of the Spirit, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!

“Above Your Fellows” - Jesus Above All - January 24, 2022

Morning by Morning, January 24 - “Above Your Fellows” - Jesus Above All

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Make me more like You today -- for as You are, so are we to be (1 John 4:17). ...

As I listen and wait for the leading of Your Spirit -- to begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Your Holy Spirit -- I hear in my heart these words from the Messianic Psalm 45, prophetically written of You nearly 1500 years before You were conceived by the Holy Spirit in human form as our Messiah and Savior of all. It speaks of how You were anointed with “the oil of joy above Your fellows.” I’ve been pondering these words ever since my deep encounter with You a few nights ago: 

“My heart overflows with a good theme;
I address my verses to the King;
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

You are fairer than the sons of men;
Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.

Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One,
In Your splendor and Your majesty!
And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
Let Your right hand teach You awesome things.

Your arrows are sharp;
The peoples fall under You;
Your arrows are in the heart of the King’s enemies.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your fellows.

All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.
Kings’ daughters are among Your noble ladies;
At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir” 
(Palm 45:1-9 NASB1995 emphasis added).

Lord Jesus -- our King of kings and Lord of lords, our Savior and Messiah, the Anointed One of God -- You stand above all. You stand above all Your fellows. And You are anointed with “the oil of joy above Your fellows” (v. 7).

Even as You walked this earth on Your way to the cross to die as the Sacrifice of God on our behalf -- in all seriousness of the gravity of all You would endure before You would overcome -- You were still filled with joy in Your heart, secure in Your identity and fulfilling Your destiny:

“Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart” (Hebrews 12:1-3).

As we look to You, “fixing our eyes on (You),” allow You to anoint us with “the oil of joy,” despite all we have endured and are enduring and will yet endure, we will overcome in You. You release Your grace -- like a grace package perfectly suited to each one of us -- for each of us to overcome.

And You give us grace by Your Spirit to not merely overcome as if just getting by, just surviving, just barely making it through, but to overcome with joy in our hearts and peace in our spirits, as we confidently trust in You and all You have done for us and continue to do for us.

Because Your stand “above all Your fellows,” anointed with the oil of joy “above all Your fellows,” You lift us up into that very place by Your Spirit, as we overcome in You because You overcome in us. As Your Word promises:

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:4-7).

Thank You for the grace to overcome with joy all I endure. Thank You for all You endured for me for the sake of the joy that was set before You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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

My friend, may you be anointed and filled with the joy as the joy of Jesus overflows in your life with His grace to overcome all you endure, just like Him, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
