GOD KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST HIM
The LORD is good. When trouble comes, he is a strong refuge. And he knows everyone who trusts in him. Nahum 1 :7
It has become socially acceptable for people to shout “Jesus!” out of shock, joy, fear, pain or whatever rush of feeling they experience. The name has become a careless cliché in the mouths of those who do not care about the Lord or trust him in anyway. Some people even stylishly yell the name to reflect their sense of style and social status. But the name of Jesus is not just and exclamation of emotional wave-lengths and the Name is certainly not social status symbol.
There is power in the name of Jesus. There is healing in the name of Jesus. There is hope in the name of Jesus. There is strength in the name of Jesus. The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run in and are saved. The name of the Lord defines who he is and Nahum says the Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.
That makes the difference between one man in distress who shouts the Name Jesus and receives deliverance and the other man in distress who shouts the Name Jesus and receives no help at all. The name doesn’t just deliver those who habitually shout it, the name works for those who have a relationship of complete surrender, dependence, hope and faith (trust) with the Lord. That is how the Lord knows those who trusts Him and stands as their strong hold (tower, refuge, and fortress) in the day of trouble.
Liberation thought: Those who trust in Jesus are unshakeable.

Prayer:
I take authority over the Kingdom of darkness concerning my mind; I declare that I have the mind of Christ in the Mighty Name of Jesus
I declare war against any whispering spirit trying to sow unproductive thoughts in my mind, in the Mighty name of Jesus!
I have the mind of Christ. I have a renewed mind. I have a transformed mind. I am a child of God
Thank you.
