The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower…

Posted on by

Recently I had a friend of ours share a report a doctor had given her that wasn’t positive.

This report obviously concerned her and her husband, but she could feel fear trying to well up inside of her and her husband and it was even affecting the atmosphere of their home.

She is a woman of Faith, but at times there are Reports that get released to us that are contrary to the promises of God.  There are also Giants that spew out threats and accusation to wear us down and try to cause us to give up and forfeit and live in fear.

Goliath spewed out accusation, threats of bondage, death and eternal slavery.

David heard these threats but was not moved by them, because he had relationship with the Lord and was acquainted with Him intimately, and knew His love toward him.

When he heard these threats and accusations that had instilled fear in the army of the Lord, he chose to fight because of the relationship he had with the Lord.

David knew where his strength was and it was in the Lord, in the name of the Lord. David fought Goliath with the name of Lord.

The names of the Lord are not just names they are spiritual substance, descriptions of who God is and all He possesses, His strength and Power.

When David stood against the giant, he was not clothed in mans armor or mans ideals, plan or earthly weapons, but He was clothed in the name of the Lord. He ran into and lived inside of the names and substance of the Lord and stood clothed in this spiritual substance that no foe can withstand and the end result was the enemy was defeated, beheaded and the enemies  of the Lord and His people ran in fear!

My friend also is intimately acquainted with the Lord and has chosen to remember how she is clothed and has chosen to purposely praise God as she examines every article of Clothing she has been given by the Lord and the armor she wears. She does this so beautifully. She has chosen to Run into the NAME OF THE LORD AND ALL HIS PROMISES and in this place she is safe and saved!

What an awesome God we serve!

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe! (Proverbs 18:10)

I encourage each of us to study the names of the Lord and meditate on who He is and all He possesses and live and abide in the riches that He has released to all who believe. He longs to give everyone the fullness of Himself, and His salvation. He is such a loving God.

If you feel as if you are battling Giants that have been spewing out accusation and threats, I pray that you will find peace and refuge in the Mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! He stands with arms wide opened!

We can do this through prayer as well, through naming His names and Praising Him for being that to each of us who believe in Him.

Psalm 91 Decree

Posted on by

I know we are all familiar with Psalm 91, but this week I am sending this in the form of a Decree. We can lay hold of the promises in the word and remember these are a part of our inheritance. This decree I have personalized for XP ministries, feel free to personalize it to you and your family and the areas you serve in, it is a gift of God to all believers.

 

Lord, we thank you for the awesome privileges and blessings that you have given to us. We now lift up and release this prayer over Patricia, XPministries and all those who serve inside of this ministry in any area and our families. We tuck ourselves inside of this prayer and the blessings inside of these promises.

We decree that XP ministries and all those who serve with this ministry choose to abide in the Secret Place of the Most High, and we will remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty, whose power no foe can withstand. We say of You, Lord, “You are our Refuge and our Fortress, Our God; in You we confidently trust!”. For as we do this, we position ourselves to receive the fullness of Your blessings.

You deliver us from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

We thank you that You cover us with Your feathers, and under Your wings we trust and find refuge. Your truth and Your faithfulness are a shield and a buckler to all of us at XPmedia.

We decree, we will not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrows (the evil plots and slanders of the evil one) that fly by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand, but it will not come near us! Only a spectator shall we be, because we are inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High, as we witness the reward of the wicked.

And Your word says that because we have made You our refuge and the Most High our dwelling place, there shall be no evil that befalls us, nor any plague or calamity come near our dwelling place.

We thank you for the angelic host that You have released to Patricia, and all that serve at XPministries , and we call them in. We thank You, Father, that these angels have been given charge over us to accompany us, to defend and preserve us in all our ways. We thank you for these angels and that they bear us up on their hands, so we do not dash our foot against a stone, and cause any harm to ourselves or others.

We decree that we at XPministries and all who serve in this ministry will tread upon the lion and the cobra; the young lion and the serpent we will trample underfoot.

Thank You, Father, for Your promises to us as believers. We set our love upon You, Lord, and we thank you that You deliver us.

We thank and praise You for setting us on high, and thank you that we have increasing knowledge and understanding of You more every day. We acknowledge Your mercy, love, and kindness and we rely solely on You, knowing You will never forsake us, never.

We thank you that when we call upon You, You hear us, and You answer us. You are with us in troubles and You deliver us and honor us. You satisfy us and show us Your salvation!

And now we choose to praise You for doing this in our lives, individually and corporately.

 

Many blessings to you all, in the mighty name of Jesus!

YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND! by Kim Hadaway

Posted on by

One day in prayer I heard this phrase in the Spirit. I know this is an old song, but it is truth from the Lord God. We are actually always on His mind and heart. He is so personal to each of us and cares about every detail of our lives!

So where am I going with this? Recently I had a couple of weeks that were really above normal where different people would come to mind, sometimes I would pray for them as they came to my mind and sometimes contact them, but I dropped the ball in a few cases kind of dismissing these thoughts.

I truly believe this was the Lord highlighting these people to me for prayer or contact to encourage and check on them letting them know I was thinking about them. Have you ever had that happen where you will have someone you haven’t seen or heard about in years or months suddenly come to your mind and you blow it off? Well I felt the Lord share with me that we are always on His mind and He is sharing secrets or even words of knowledge to pray for these people. One of those that I dropped the ball on really needed me and needed encouragement and actually just wanted to know I was thinking about them. (They actually said this to me) I felt really bad, but want to learn from this. I really don’t want to ignore those little nudges for prayer or contact. I know I love it when someone I haven’t seen or heard from in a long while contacts me because I have been on their mind and heart!

So this blog is really to encourage us all to mediate on how much God loves each of us. His word says He knows every hair on our heads that is pretty detailed. So why would He not desire to see each of His children blessed? The word of God says it is His good pleasure to give His children good gifts and He desires that everyone on the earth know Him and His goodness.

So again, pay attention to His loving Kindness to you and also pay attention to those still small nudges to share His loving kindness with others and blessings through prayer and encouragement!

THE WISDOM OF GOD IMPARTED TO US by Kim Hadaway

Posted on by

Wisdom is a part of the substance of God, it is part of the seven fold spirit of God and it is also a wonderful gift that He imparts to us as believers.  In James 1:5 it states if any one lacks wisdom, let him ask of the Lord and He will give it, liberally, but the word also tells us to get understanding as well.

When Solomon was appointed King he went to inquire of the Lord, to praise the Lord, offer sacrifice, but he also desired to have impartation of the wisdom of God. When asked by the Lord what He desired in 2 Chronicles 1:7-12, we see that he asked for wisdom, and knowledge so he would know how rule as he should. The Lord gave him, wisdom, knowledge, riches and honor as well, because the request of his heart was to be wise and steward what the Lord had given him with excellence and his heart was to be a good leader and serve the people well.

(Here are a just a few scriptures that speak of the Wisdom of Solomon) 1 Kings 4:29, 30, 1 Kings 5:12, 1 Kings 4:34, 1 Kings 7:14, 1 Kings 10:4, 23, Luke 11:31.

This is a gift that God imparted to him and nations were drawn to him to enquire of this wisdom, but were also impacted by the vast wealth he possessed as well.

When we inquire of the Lord and rely on Godly wisdom and understanding and don’t lean to our own wisdom and understanding we find we do possess great wealth, (although I know the vast riches Solomon possessed were also literal gold, silver, and riches etc….)

The word tells us that we should not lean to our own understanding and that is exactly what Solomon was asking of the Lord. That he would truly possess the wisdom and understanding of God and he was blessed beyond what he could even think or imagine as the Lord imparted these gifts to him.

It is the desire of the Lord that all His children are blessed and live inside of His wisdom, entreat His wisdom, understanding, knowledge, council, might….. and He will pour it out on us.

We as children of God have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places, we just need to thank the Lord for them, and pull them in to our reality by faith.

One way we do this is through prayer and thanksgiving and decree.

When you read about Solomon, He went up to the tabernacle of meeting, this is the place the Lord stated in Exodus that the Lord would meet with us and speak with us there.

We all have a tabernacle of meeting and it is within us all as Children of God, all we have to do is believe it and receive it.

When we inquire of the Lord He hears us and not only hears but answers us when we pray. He loves our thanksgiving and praise; in fact the word tells us He inhabits our praise.

Let me give you some more scriptures that speak of wisdom, and encourage you to meditate on them and invite Wisdom to be imparted to you, Godly Wisdom!

Here are a few scriptures to meditate on, James 1:5, Proverbs 4:7, and Proverbs 2:2-7…..
