“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
The enemy wants to confuse and distract us from pursuing our God-ordained purpose. Satan wants us to Panic and not Pray!🤯🙏🏽
When we magnify our Fears instead of exercising our Faith and trusting God, we delay the manifestation of our purpose and blessings.⏸🗝🚪
Father God, Lord Omnipotent!🙌🏼 We realized that You alone have all power in Heaven and Earth in your hands—You alone are sovereign, not man. Strengthen us for this journey as you unfold Your plan.📜
Give us hinds feet🦌to maneuver the slippery slopes of life; the Faith of Job so that we do not falter when tempted or fail when tested😈⚠️🚫.

Heavenly Father, endow us with the love and grace needed to edify, comfort and care for those in need the most. Help us be the light and salt in a dark and unsavory world; and let us never forget or take for granted that the treasure we have within these earthen vessels is to be shared with those we encounter daily. In Jesus’ name I pray…Amen.~M. Ford
“Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.” (I Thessalonians 5:11)
Don’t allow life’s moments of imperfection to define who you are and stifle your spiritual growth and God ordained mission in life. Snap-shots in time never tell the complete story!
Ask God for spiritual vision to see past temporary faults, failures, setbacks and imperfections, to who He has designed and predestined you to be. Live beyond the moment—see the invisible and expect the impossible through Christ!

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
Heavenly Father, Thank you for another day filled with new mercies!
I come praying that your people, who are called by your name, will humble themselves and pray fervently during these dark and perilous times! For I know that you are the only light of hope we have in this present darkness, and you are the only remedy for a sin sick world.
I pray that our national leaders would not put their trust in military strength, financial leverage, human strategy, or political power and influence to solve our problems and global difficulties; but rather put their hope, trust and faith in You who made the heavens and earth!
I pray that the hearts of those in authority locally and globally will be turned back to You, Oh God! I pray that the scriptures will once again guide all decision making in our country that was once rooted in your Word.
I pray that your Holy Spirit will sweep across our land and country like a mighty rushing wind…setting free minds captive by demonic depression, oppression and possession!
I pray that hearts and minds of those who don’t know You will be set free from Satan’s grip! I pray for the loss to come into the knowledge of Your saving grace! And I pray that saints will have holy boldness to witness and not fall for Satan’s tricks and traps!
I pray that the lost and unchurched will flock into the House of Prayer seeking deliverance and restoration in Christ Jesus!
I pray that the hearts of the saints will be set on fire for You, Oh Lord, and that we truly hunger and thirst after your righteousness…seeking to serve and to live holy as unto You…withholding nothing, but surrendering all!
I pray that people rich and poor alike will seek to know You, Oh God, in the beauty of Your holiness!
Father, there is nothing too hard for You, who called everything into existence by simply saying, “Let there be…”! Therefore, I humbly ask that you hear my hearts cry and my plea on this new day filled with Your new mercies! Nevertheless, it’s not my will I seek, but Your will be done on this earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus name I pray and praise you always…Hallelujah and Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD.” (Jeremiah 9:23-24)

“Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6 ESV)
“TAKE COURAGE” The Father will allow your difficulties and delays to last only a season. There is a limit to the delays and sufferings in your life. Remember that Satan’s power over Job was even limited by God, and Hannah can attest that delays are not denials as she dedicated her long awaited for son Samuel back to the Lord. Understand this—God will use even the difficulties and delays in your life to complete His perfect work “IN”you in order to accomplish His purpose THROUGH you!~M. Ford
“And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.” (Habakkuk 2:2-3 ESV)
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your new mercies today! Thank you for another opportunity to live for you and to love one another. Thank you for your grace that you freely give, and for forgiving us of our sins, transgressions and iniquities.
Father, we ask that you wash us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness, so that we will be pleasing in your sight. Help us to effectively show and share the love of Christ as we go—discerning when to be as humble as a Lamb and when to be as fierce as a Lion in order to accomplish every good work for the building up of Your Kingdom here on earth.
Father, transform us through the RENEWING of our minds—help us to have godly thoughts, that will lead to godly actions, that will result in godly lifestyles! Oh Lord, Our God…Help us to Line Up our desires with Your Will—Purge us from any and all things that do not look like YOU—and help us develop a sincere hunger, thirst and desire for MORE of YOU and YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS!
Father, Create in us clean hearts and renew in us right spirits so that we may be used by you for GREATER works—all for your glory and honor! It’s in the mighty and matchless name of JESUS, I pray and praise always…Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!” (Psalms 139:23-24)
Are you still waiting on God to fulfill a Promise or answer a Prayer? Does your waiting seem to be weighing you down—causing your promise to be overshadowed by your pain?
Don’t despair! God is not a man, that He should Lie; nor is He the son of man, that He should change His mind. If He said it, He will Do it; and if He promised it, it will come to pass!
The Lord, Your God, Will perfect that which concerns you! Pray With Expectancy. Give God Radical Praise. Hide the Word In Your Heart.
Be Strong In The Lord and of Good Courage while you wait because The Master is perfecting His Masterpiece!🙌🏼☝🏾~M. Ford
“The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.” (Psalms 138:8)
“God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?” (Numbers 23:19)
