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.
