Heavenly Father, Thank you for another day that provides yet another opportunity to live for you—allowing our lights to shine bright in this dark, sin-sick world.
Ignite the power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the true Believers! I ask for Your glory to fill our lives, our homes, and our churches.
Eradicate everything in us that does not glorify You with your consuming FIRE🔥! Burn away lukewarmness, conformity, and complacency and ignite in us a passion for Your presence!
Let Your Holy Spirit empower us to be bold witnesses, holy vessels, and burning lights in this present darkness.
Father GOD…Jehovah Tsidkenu—God of our Righteousness, We cry out—send Your FIRE, and let Your glory be revealed in us! In Jesus’ mighty and matchless name, Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford
Father God, I come praying for those under satanic attack—those experiencing emotional, mental and spiritual warfare.
By the power of the blood of Jesus, I pray for the breaking of strongholds that bind so many of your people and rob them of the abundant life you’ve preordained.
Release those under demonic depression, oppression, suppression and possession. Set free those needing deliverance from various addictions and unholy habits that’s holding them back from carrying out Your Calling on their lives.
Lift up those needing deliverance out of the Pit of self-pity, stress, anxiety, paranoia and depression.
Turn stoney hearts filled with hate, malice, envy, and unforgiveness into hearts of flesh filled and overflowing with love, joy and peace that surpasses all understanding.
Take captive suicidal thoughts! Cleanse vulgar/foul language! Eradicate sexual sins and pornography! Transform gay and lesbian behaviors! Manifest breakthroughs from all strongholds that bind your people and bring forth a GREAT SHAKING & AWAKENING that will roll across this land like wildfire—SETTING FREE CAPTIVES and SETTING HEARTS ON FIRE FOR CHRIST!
It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-6 NKJV)
It’s easy to have Faith to Worship in a dry boat! Just because your current situation doesn’t promote “happiness” doesn’t mean you get to put JOY on the shelf too! The true testing of your Faith is when you can still Worship with water in your boat!🌊
When JESUS is onboard it doesn’t matter what it “looks like”—Keep dippin’ (in the Word), rowing (praying without ceasing), and holding on (by Faith)—you will make it to The Other Side of Through!☝🏾🌈🙏🏽~M. Ford
“On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.””
“And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” (Mark 4:35, 37-40 NKJV)
Heavenly Father, We thank you for this beautiful Sabbath and the freedom of worshiping together with a body of Believers in spirit and in truth. Thank you for the souls that were saved today from an eternal hell. Thank you for drawing those who were far from home back into the safety of your arms.
ABBA, our heart is filled with gratitude for allowing the sweet fragrance of your presence to rest with us on this day. Our desire is to be pleasing to you in every way and every day! Be glorified in all we say, think, and do. We totally surrender our heart, mind, body and soul to You!
Thank You for this precious gift of salvation, for your unconditional love, and for trusting us with the Calling on our lives. We Love you with our whole heart!
It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus we pray and give you all praise! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)
Don’t be dismayed or discouraged when the enemy comes against you like a flood.🌊
Your Anointing is a threat to the kingdom of darkness.👿🤛🏽
The enemy fights against what carries God-ordained Purpose, and he attacks what has covenant Promise!
Therefore, the attacks against you are a desperate attempt to snuff out your Christ-light.
Nevertheless…Refuse to stop Shining for Christ!☀️NO WEAPON formed against you shall prosper, says The Lord!
Your Story is still being written, yet the ending is finished…YOU WIN!☝🏾🙌🏼🩸✝️🌈🙏🏽~M. Ford
“So shall they fear The name of the Lord from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” (Isaiah 59:19 NKJV)
Heavenly Father, Jehovah Tsidkenu—God of our Righteousness—Open our eyes so that we might see the invisible! Fortify our faith so that we can believe for the impossible! Turn our stoney hearts that have been calloused by worldly culture, lusts of the flesh and prides of life into hearts of flesh that are in tune with heaven’s calling and sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Fill our hearts with a fervent passion and steadfast love for you that will take our breath away as you breathe new life into us!
LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, ELOHIM—Order our steps in your Word, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil! Ignite your Holy Spirit within us so that we are filled with the power to operate in the fruit thereof.
Thank you, ABBA, for your loving kindness towards us and your steadfast patience with us as you skillfully and intentionally mold, shape and TRANSFORM us into your likeness.
It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus, who is The Christ, I humbly pray this prayer. Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
”And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.“ (2 Kings 6:17 NIV)

Beloved…Are you wondering WHY the masses are rushing down paths that appeal to the lusts of the flesh while the road you are on seems less traveled and difficult at best?
Are you wondering WHY the pains of your past and the predicament of your present seem to repeatedly attempt to rob you of hope for the future?
Stop wondering and start Praising GOD! You have been Called Out, Intentionally Picked and Planted for GOD’S Purpose. YOU have been Anointed and Appointed to a Higher Calling. You have been Equipped and Empowered for such a time as this—So take your STAND NOW!
Gird up in your most holy Faith to be Spiritually READY! The devil can’t defeat you because of your Armor—Ephesians 6:13.
Don’t be deceived…the Devil is a LIER. Man can’t curse what GOD has blessed! Start Praising God NOW for keeping His Hand ON YOU while working His PLAN through YOU!
YOUR NAME IS “VICTORY”! Hallelujah and Amen🙌🏼🙏🏽~M. Ford
“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord.” (Isaiah 54:17 AMP)
Every Believer is engaged in spiritual warfare—from the time you get up in the morning until the time you go to bed at night, and even while you are asleep the battles are raging!
The enemy is busy building strongholds in your life—destructive patterns of thinking, reoccurring cycles of sin, and systems of oppression, suppression and depression that seek to keep God’s people bound, steal your joy, and eventually kill and destroy you! 👿🤛🏽🙏🏽
As the enemy constantly bombard you day and night with lies these strongholds may appear unshakable, BUT they cannot withstand the weapons God has placed in our hands! 📖🙌🏼🙏🏽
It is imperative that Believers understand that we cannot fight spiritual battles using carnal weapons. God has given us weapons of warfare that are not carnal BUT mighty in God for pulling down strongholds! Satanic darkness is driven back by the Power of God’s Word, Praise, and the powerful weapon of PRAYER. 📖🙌🏼🙏🏽
When we Pray, we do not fight in our own strength, BUT we connect to the main power source, which is GOD himself, through the Power of the Risen Savior—JESUS—pleading the power of His Blood and His Name!🩸🙏🏽
When we call on THE NAME OF JESUS we activate the Power of the Holy Spirit! Where the enemy has built fortresses of deception, PRAYER tears them down brick-by-brick!🧱Where unholy habits have taken root, PRAYER pulls them up and casts them out! Where depression has seeped in, PRAYER overcomes suicidal thoughts, transforms your mind, and replaces stinking thinking until nothing remains but the Victory of Christ Jesus!☝🏾🙌🏼
When We Pray…the enemy is defeated and will therefore have no alternative BUT to Loose You and Let You Go…IN THE MIGHTY AND MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS! Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,” (2 Corinthians 10:4 NKJV)
