Send us a textMorning by Morning, July 30, 2025 - River of Life Good morning, Lord Jesus. All of me for all of You, as I begin my day embraced by Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Holy Spirit. ... “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” (Revelation 22:1-2). Lord Jesus. You are the River of Life. You are the Living Water (John 4:10). Yesterday, we down into the valley of “the slums” area of Nyeri, Kenya to give to the poor, to share the Word of God and the Bread of Life, in partnership with a ministry there providing education to the children and encouragement to the people. And a river runs through it. In many ways, that river has represented death with unclean waters that bring sickness and disease. But as we climbed up to a high place overlooking that valley to pray, You gave us words of life to proclaim a River of Life to runs through the hearts of the people and the land. You gave Bishop Gachengo, who oversees the ministry and one of the churches there, a vision of transformation for that valley. And as we prayed and proclaimed, as we called forth Your vision for that valley by the leading of Your Spirit, our team (Pastor Jeff, Mandie, Levi and Laurie), joined in that hope, filled with faith, that You are the God who sees and hears and transforms. Even as our group prayed and sang over the valley, souls came to be saved and drink of the River of Life. One man received Jesus in his heart and renounced his addiction to sniffing glue, then threw down and stomped his plastic bottle of glue. Praise God! Let the Life of Christ fill his heart and fill this valley! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.Written and sent out from the morning prayer time of Tommy Hays each day.God bless you and may you have a great day!—Tommy Hays | Messiah Ministrieshttp://messiah-ministries.org

While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.  “And He said to them, ‘What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?' They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered Him, ‘Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?' He asked them, ‘What things?' They replied, ‘The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed Him over to be condemned to death and crucified Him.  “But we had hoped that He was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find His body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Him.  “Then He said to them, ‘Oh, how foolish you are and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into His glory?' Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He interpreted to them the things about himself in all the Scriptures. “As they came near the village to which they were going, He walked ahead as if He were going on. But they urged Him strongly, saying, ‘Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.' So He went in to stay with them. When He was at the table with them, He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, and He vanished from their sight. They said to each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while He was talking to us on the road, while He was opening the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:13-32).Written and sent out from the morning prayer time of Tommy Hays each day.God bless you and may you have a great day!—Tommy Hays | Messiah Ministrieshttp://messiah-ministries.org
