“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)
“TESTIMONY of The TEST”
Heavenly Father, pour out your spirit on your children who are seeking you today! Some are hurting and their hearts are heavy with grief and sadness—Embrace them with your comforting arms and grace them with your kiss of peace that surpasses all understanding. Some are feeling lonely and have no one to love or to love on them—Fill their hearts with overflowing joy for You, while your love gently surrounds and comforts them. Others are encountering difficulties, hardships, and overwhelming issues of life daily—Give them the heart of a Lion so that they will have Holy boldness to stand with unwavering faith during difficult and tedious times.
Father, free us up in the spirit to praise and worship You like David—recognizing and responding to Your character, creation and faithfulness at all times and in all situations!
Endow us with a quiet peace deep within our soul that comes with the confidence of knowing that You, Oh Lord, are GREATER than anything and ABOVE all things!
Gift us with spiritual 20/20 vision—living in the natural realm, but seeing things in the supernatural realm! Help us to see these situations and circumstances we encounter as you see them—as only a temporary testing of our faith divinely designed to strengthen us for this race!
Father, Build us up in our most holy faith so that we won’t falter and fail when trials and troubles come our way, but rather we will mount up on wings like an eagle and soar…READY to give the TESTIMONY of the TEST that we’ve endured and prevailed! IJN…Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”(Romans 12:11-12 NIV)
“A Living Legacy”
What Legacy are You Living that will strengthen generations to come and have eternal value?
Heavenly Father, I come praying that we will exemplify godly wisdom, knowledge and understanding in the application of your word to our lives so that we might live holy in the presence of a vulnerable generation.
I come praying for godly parents who will train up their children in the Word, dedicating them to the Lord, and setting a pattern of seeking the Lord in all things—big and small. I pray that the younger generations may find strength and hope in the Lord and not lean to the destructive vices disguised as pleasures of this world.
Father, help us to walk in humility, demonstrating a steadfast strength and confident courage as we live out our Faith before our children, so that they too will be clothed in humility, respectful to others and to one another—exhibiting proper behavior at all times.
Father, I pray for our children/youth to remain sexually pure and for their salvation at an early age—always lifting up their concerns to You in prayer, and trusting You to exalt them in due season. Raise up godly leaders in our children/youth that will obey Your Word and represent You well in all arenas of life. It’s in the Saving and Sovereign name of Jesus Christ I pray this prayer…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Tell your children about it, Let your children tell their children, And their children another generation.” (Joel 1:3)
How do you defeat the giants that come against you in life?
Not by power, nor by might…But In the Name of JESUS—The Giant-slayer!☝🏾🙏🏽~M. Ford
“You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the Name of the Lord Almighty…” (1 Samuel 17:45-46)
This winter ice/snow storm in Texas has displaced and devastated many. My heart goes out and prayers go up for all who are still hurting and those now healing from tragedies, hardships and calamities of all sorts brought on by this natural disaster.
As we all move towards recovery and some forms of normalcy, I realized that It’s the little things we all take for granted without realizing it.
Now when I flip a switch and the lights come on I whisper “THANK YOU, LORD”! When I turn on the faucet and hot and cold water comes out, I say “THANK YOU, LORD”! When I open the refrigerator or freezer and select something to cook and I don’t have to wait until the next rolling outage ends, I shout “THANK YOU, LORD”! No busted pipes…”THANK YOU, LORD”! Still got my health & strength…”THANK YOU, LORD”!
The next thing you know I’ve got a Praise Party going on!🙌🏼💃🏾🔥This experience has taken my GRATEFULNESS to a whole new level! 🙌🏼☝🏾💃🏾
Father, I Continue to pray for all those who are still displaced and/or now working through major losses, plumbing and cleanup issues as a result of the freeze. Help us to stand on Romans 8:28 and not waiver in our faith. Amen 🙏🏽
Love & Prayers always!❤️🙏🏽~M. Ford
Valentine’s Day is just one of the 365 days of the year that we can SHARE and SHOW the Love of Christ!❤️
