YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND! by Kim Hadaway

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!

Patricia King: Framing Your World with the Word of God

I had a dream last night and I knew it applied to me personally, XP ministries with Patricia King and to the body of Christ, but it was also so the world could see and be welcomed into this place with Christ.

In the dream I was high on top of a building (which I knew represented XP ministries and everything inside it.)

I was on top of the building and I was surrounding the structure with the Word, the Word of God.

I knew this was a place of establishment and as I did this it was;

1.       Surrounding and framing the ministry with the truth and substance of the Word of God and all that the Word contained.

2.       Establishing these as truths inside of the ministry in every area, every dept. and everyone who served in any area of XP ministries.

3.       It was also establishing a barrier of protection with the Word of God. We are all created for blessing!

4.       It was also marking us for all to see. We are to be a banner for all to see. And what they should see is Jesus and His goodness and His promises to us, and all He paid for us to receive. John 3:16

What we possess we utilize for ourselves and then we share it with those in the body and the world.

This is done so we all can experience the fullness of the Kingdom of God.

God created each of us to live in the realities of His Kingdom, He created us for relationship but to also know Him and the fullness of all that He is. He has truly given us everything that pertains to life and Godliness, we truly have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places.

As I was framing the Ministry structure with the Word of God, I was above, this too is scripture. We do this from a Heavenly perspective, from above and not beneath.

We are seated with Christ in Heavenly places, I can see clearly from this place. I can see who He is, and all that He has released to me and to all of us in the Body of Christ.

He desires that all the world would know this place with Him.

The place of blessing and fullness of Joy!

I pray that today, you are able to receive the revelation of His love and receive the fullness of His salvation. He paid it all for everyone of us. He desires that we know Him and His word to us. We all can and are invited to frame our world with His words of Love and Promise.

Blessings,

Kim Hadaway

 

Patricia King: Hearing from God for Intercession by Dana Roman

Suddenly, I felt an urge to pray. In my spirit I saw the word suicide. It surely wasn’t me, but a strong anointing to pray for whoever it was came upon me. I began to take authority over the spirit of death, fear, rejection, hurt and bondage. I felt a warning like an alarm went off in my spirit and my prayer turned into travailing intercession. As I cried out to the Lord it felt as if I was birthing something very spiritual. Jeremiah 30:3-6 speaks of a prophetic word of restoration of finances and possessing the land. It seems the men were crying out like a woman in labor birthing in prayer a spiritual, divine intervention.

Paul prayed in the Spirit a lot and one day he said, “Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I’m going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives” (Galatians 4:19 NLT). My travail lasted about forty-five minutes and then I felt the work of intercession had been completed. As always, I began praising and worshipping God for intervening on whoever wanted to commit suicide.

Several hours later my pastor friends called and said, “What were you doing at 9:00a.m.?” I told them what happened when I heard the word suicide, right at that time. They began thanking me and sharing that they both had been talking about driving their car right off the freeway overpass at that very moment. They were broke, out of a job, and so hurt and filled with fear and bondage from another minister who had been lying about them to a large amount of the body of Christ in their area. They both had decided that they wanted to die.

Within months our pastor friends had a nice house to live in, and started receiving a salary from a group of believers that wanted them to be their pastors.

God’s voice can come in many ways, but the key is we must listen and obey.

  • God’s voice can be heard when we read the Word of God.  The more of the Word of God we know, the more sensitive we are to hearing in the spirit realm.
  • The Lord may give you a word on a bill board, or even a knowing deep in your spirit like I had with the word suicide.
  • God speaks through all types of people, strangers, friends, family members, and not just your spiritual leaders.  Be sensitive to pain in people’s lives so you can pray for them, give them a scripture to encourage them or just a friendly smile and listening ear.
  • God sometimes uses unusual ways to speak to us. Job 37:5 says, He thunders with His voice. Deuteronomy 5:24 says, They heard the voice of Lord from the midst of the fire.

There are many more ways to hear from God but I ask these questions when I’m not sure if it is Him or not: Is what I am hearing something that was taught by a good or bad influence in my life? Is what I am hearing going to produce the fruit of the Spirit according to Galatians 5:22-25? Is God giving me this knowledge or is it something I already knew? Either way, how am I supposed to pray regarding what I am hearing? The Lord always has the right strategy for every prayer and every assignment that He gives.

Patricia King: Battling Anxiety and Depression

Blog by Karen Lusher, friend, CSA-XPMEDIA.COM

As I’ve been interceding for one so precious to me suffering  greatly with anxiety and depression that just won’t seem to let up even with medication,  the Lord highlighted this familiar passage to me with new revelation that I’d like to share.   What He highlighted I’ll put in bold print, and what He impressed on me, I’ll put in italics. Hopefully this will be a blessing for those struggling with similar issues. 

Many of you love this passage:  Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice.  Let your gentleness be evident to all.  The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ  Jesus.

Philippians 4:4-7  Rejoice in the Lord always.  (Lord, You want this to be my lifestyle….you said it twice!)  I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident  to all.  The Lord is near.  (This is the important precedent for His next point…..He Is Near!!!!  )  Do not be anxious about ANYTHING, but in EVERYTHING, by prayer and petition, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD.

(I saw a picture of lots of little clouds around this dear one’s head each with a legitimate “anything” inside of it  that would make any  woman  anxious.  Then I saw a big red heart shape symbolizing the heart of God.  I saw her taking every “Anything” one at a time, grabbing it, taking it captive, but most importantly, giving God her petition about each one as she  thanked Him for taking it from her and releasing it into His heart labeled “Everything.”   Thanksgiving, petitioning, and thrusting were all connected in one prophetic action of faith!    I saw that this was the essence of spiritual warfare as we read about in II Corinthians 10:4,5.  This tells us what to DO with those things we take captive;  it’s an action I love of THRUSTING that “ANYTHING” into God’s EVERYTHING heart to deal with, which  is exactly what He has promised  us He would do!!!  To me this prophetic action she could actually do was very significant, because there were so many “anythings” that she didn’t know what to do with.  How could she possibly keep so many captive?   But there is more….something even more wonderful than this!!) 

  And the PEACE OF GOD WHICH TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING, (This peace that He gives us when we give Him all of our ”anythings”  lifts us up over these worries.   It doesn’t make sense, for we don’t see in the natural that anything has changed…)  (that peace… will GUARD your HEART (even though it’s been broken and has been so troubled, it’s guardednow by the peace of God.  It’s guarded; God’s peace guards your precious heart!  All of its ”anythings’ were thrust into His ” everythings,” and it’s now guarded against future attacks, for this thanksgiving, petitioning/thrusting of our “anythings” becomes a lifestyle!)  and  (it also guards) your Mind in Christ Jesus.  (Your troubled mind full of worry and concerns is now guarded by God’s peace  for we are in Christ Jesus, and He gives us His very mind.  There need be no more worry about our thoughts.  Our mind is guarded by God’s peace which takes us to verses 8 and 9.  Our thoughts are focused now on thinking about whatever is lovely, pure, excellent, admirable, and praiseworthy ….peaceful thoughts….and all anxiety goes.  

This dear one could see the picture of this and proceeded to take her many concerns to the Lord, one by one.  It is something she is practicing day by day and even though she’s still struggling, I see her growing in this and I’m seeing some new hope. She likes the thought she can DO something with her “anythings..” and intercede for them all in one action.  It takes away her sense of powerlessness and gives her a greater sense of accomplishment. My prayer is that I am able to help this dear one make  this “thanksgiving/petitioning/thrusting  prophetic act” of each “anything” that haunts her  a habit and becomes a permanent part of her new lifestyle so that she never struggles with this again.  It’s God’s preventive medicine as well.  God wants to give her heart and mind peace, and in these verses He teaches us how to get there.  Blessings to all who suffer and struggle with depression and anxiety. May the Lord give us all revelation of these things so we can walk them out.  

Patricia King: Don’t Want Rocks Crying Out in My Place!

by Kim Hadaway, itinerant minister with Patricia King and XP Ministries

We are in the midst of our Operation Extreme Love School in Thailand. As we observe our surroundings, it could become overwhelming if we did not know the God of Love.

Love Himself created each one of us and did so for us to have a life of love, freedom and relationship with our magnificent Creator. When we fell, Love came down and made a way for us to be completely and eternally restored to perfect relationship with a perfect God.

As we walk the city, we see so many hurting lives destroyed by sin, deception and abuse of the enemy. We can actually hear the heart cries, some of our team have even stated they feel the same way. And we have even seen in the Spirit a cry from the ground for justice, from the generations past that have experienced injustice (Genesis 4:10b).

I am aware that we are on a mission, but even more aware that our daily lives should be a mission.

Whether we are in Pattaya, Thailand, Cambodia or in our own cities, nations, streets, neighborhood markets, workplaces, or our own living rooms…

As I sat here today observing, I began to be reminded of a few things, one being all of creation is groaning. We at times may not have been able to understand the depths of the groan and the meaning behind it, but every person and every part of creation is aware of God. There is a cry to know Him, to be filled with His great love, and to find justice where there has been injustice. Everywhere we go, when we pray for people they always say, please pray for blessings on my life and that I find love…

So, why the unusual title to these prayer directives?

It started as I meditated on all of the above and, in the midst of this time, the words to an old song came to me: “Ain’t gonna let no rock cry out in my place, I’m going to praise His Holy Name!”

This song is in reference to a Scripture out of Luke 19:40 where the Pharisees told Jesus that He needed to silence His disciples. Jesus proceeded to inform them that if His disciples were silenced, the stones would immediately cry out in their place.

The message of who our God is, all He possesses, and His greatest demonstration of this love will never be able to be silenced. There will always be a revealing of our King and the mysteries of His kingdom. But I sure don’t want creation to have to take my place in this.

All of creation is groaning for the manifestation of the mature sons and daughters of God as well.

(Romans 8:19)

As the Word states, from the beginning of time we were created to be mirror reflections of our God and Creator. We are not just to have this knowledge but be established in this knowledge, actively walking in it. We were told to take dominion and to establish His kingdom rule everywhere we are, and to be fruitful and multiply. So if God is Love, we should see Love empower us and be established where there is none or little. If there is injustice, we are to release justice; if there is disorder, we too are called to bring and establish order as He did. If there is lack of Love, we’re called to be releasers of this great love and goodness. (Genesis 1:26-31, Ephesians 3)

I believe there is an awakening that has taken place in the body and is continuing to take place, concerning who our God is and who He has called us to be. In this revealing, the world is coming to know Him; I believe they are crying out for it from the innermost part of their being, and even the earth is crying out for this revealing of Jesus the King.

Several years ago, I heard of a rock that supposedly contained healing properties; it is called a Pakistan Salt lamp. Think of it, a rock that releases healing properties as it is lit. It is said that as it is lit, it aids those that battle with asthma, high blood pressure, and other illnesses. I know this may sound bizarre to some, but I was reminded of this and so much more that I have noticed in the past several years. Look around you: are there not more new age stores that have “healing” stones and other things advertised? Are there not more and more stores that sell clothing and accessories with the cross, the crown, keys and even lines of clothing in secular establishments called “Decree”? Is this not a cry to be heard?

Are we not those living stones that house the very Spirit of God and the Kingdom of God?

(1 Peter 2:5, Ephesians 2:22)

Are we not called to be salt and light? (Matthew 5:13-16)

Are we not to release the essence and substance of all Jesus is everywhere we go – bringing change, healing, deliverance, and freedom? And bringing light, life and love, because we have encountered true Love and have been given abundant life? As it states in Ephesians 3, to be filled with the fullness of God!

All this said, I thought of all the people running to the new age stores to buy these lamps and stones to find this inner peace and healing. But in reality, if we the mature sons and daughters of the Living God will awaken to the living reality that Jesus Is Alive In Us, and we are empowered by Holy Spirit, then we will be those who the world will begin to run to more and more to encounter Salvation Himself, Love Himself, Healing Himself, Freedom Himself!

Let’s begin with prayer,

Jesus we join together in praise and adoration to You for all You are and all You have imparted to us!

We celebrate You and the abundant life You have released to each of us.

We thank You that You are the very image of love and we also thank You for being the greatest demonstration of perfect love. 

Father God, we thank You that You have imparted to us the spirit of adoption, that we may be called Sons of God. We cry out to be those mature sons and daughters of God who bring pleasure to Your heart and glory to Your name.

Lord we cry out even now to be established as a praise in all the earth! (Luke 19:40)

We desire to bring glory and honor to Your holy name each and every day of our lives.

We acknowledge Your living Word in us and that we have been created in Your image and likeness and are to be demonstrations of Your goodness on the earth.

Forgive us when we have been silent and have been ignorant of who You have stated we are.

We choose today to set our affection on You and surrender our lives daily to You.

We desire to be conformed more and more each day to the very image of You, Jesus!

LORD WE CRY OUT FOR AN AWAKENING IN YOUR BODY TO THE LIVING REALITIES OF ALL YOU ARE AND ALL YOU POSSESS AND ALL YOU HAVE IMPARTED TO US, THAT WE TRULY WILL FULLY BE FRUITFUL.

We know You have imparted Love to us so that we too can be filled with love and become love everywhere we go. We desire that even now. 

We acknowledge You as our all in all and desire for the all in all that You have been and are to us to be imparted to those in our spheres of influence, our families, and our workplaces; in our cities, nations, and all the nations around the world.

Prayer that you can join us in for XP ministries

1.     Please pray for Patricia and our team as we establish our new missions center in Cambodia.

We desire to see justice where there has been injustice.

But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses; they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none says, “Restore!” (Isaiah 42:22)

And we say, there is now a voice that is raised up to cry out RESTORE for a beautiful people in need of restoration! 

2.     Please pray for God’s heart of love to be imparted to this nation and all the nations of the world.

3.     Please pray for Patricia and our team as we dive into this new season of media and missions around the world.

4.     Please pray daily for God’s wisdom, divine guidance, abundant favor and empowerment, supernatural strength, creativity, financial abundance, and Holy Spirit anointing in every area we are called to serve this year and the coming years.

5.     Please pray that we will always be in tune with the heartbeat of God and live in the rhythms of His heart.

Abundant blessings to you all, in Jesus’ Mighty Name!

Kim Hadaway
