Duty to Delight Ministries is dedicated to Christian discipleship, spiritual growth & development, and equipping & encouraging the believer to live a transformed life in Christ through the power of prayer.
My Heavenly Father, I pray for your loving touch upon the hearts of those who are hurting and filled with sorrow and despair on today. Soothe their pain, heal their heart ache. No matter the reason for the pain and hurt, You Father, are the remedy. When they awaken in the morning place a smile in their spirit that will overshadow the sorrow and pain in their heart. And when they lay down at night, give them a peaceful sweet sleep, and bring them your joy with the morning light!
No matter the condition, situation or circumstance… Father, help each of your children to stay positive and keep the faith, even in the midst of trying times like these. Father, You alone know all about it, and you alone have the grace that suits every case! Thank you, Father, for being faithful! It’s in the saving name of Jesus I pray and praise you always…Amen.🙏🏽
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)
Father God, We come humbly asking that You forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Give us a clean heart so that we might be used in great ways for your glory!
Father, we prostrate ourselves in prayer on this day, interceding for our families, children, marriages, churches, communities, government, nation and world. We humbly ask that You, oh Lord, will move in miraculous ways! Father, move like a mighty rushing wind across our land for our healing, restoration, and deliverance! Only you Father, can break the shackles that bind us and bring about a supernatural deliverance and release from systemic racism, global pandemics, moral decay of society, and persecution of your Church.
Father, you alone are the righteous judge—faithful, long-suffering, full of grace, loving and merciful! Hear our prayers and send overflow in areas of lack and need; and grace us with mental and emotional wellness, freedom from depression, oppression, suppression, obsession and possession!
We look to YOU Father, and YOU ALONE in such a time as this! For You are almighty God, our strength and song, high tower and strong deliverer! Bust us out of complacency and set the captives FREE! Set our hearts and souls on fire and give us a thirst that only You can quench! Hear our cry, oh Lord, and heal our Land! Hallelujah and Amen! 🙏🏽
Saints, we can’t win spiritual battles using carnal weapons. ~M Ford
“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”. (II Corinthians 10:4-5)
When you take your focus off things that are “not happening”, and place it on The One who “makes things happen”, you will find Contentment a much easier state to obtain. ~M. Ford
“Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.” (Philippians 4:11)
Heavenly Father, I come praying today for Your children…those who are called by Your name. Help us to long for an intimate relationship with You—no longer desiring milk, but the meat of Your word to guide our lives, especially in times like these.
Father, consecrate our hearts so that we grieve over the sins of mankind and over our own personal sins, then confess and repent—turning away from those things that break Your heart and turning to Your Word and Prayer for the strength we need to truly Live Holy day by day.
Father, I Pray for spiritual accountability and freshness to fall upon each of us individually and collectively as one global body of believers to effectively serve in building up your kingdom here on earth—using our spiritual gifts and talents for ministry, mission and witnessing to the unchurched and unsaved in our homes, communities and beyond.
Father, I Pray for spirit-fed, spirit-lead and anointed pastors, teachers, preachers, leaders, prayer warriors and all true Christ followers to rise up and with holy boldness proclaim Your sovereignty, omnipotence, faithfulness, forgiveness, righteousness, mercy, grace and Love!
Father, I Pray for SPIRITUAL REVIVAL to sweep across this Land like a mighty rushing wind—turning the stony unrepentant hearts of the people back into submitted, surrendered hearts of flesh that truly seek to serve and live for You above all else! Hear my humble prayer on this day as we Fast and Pray, Oh Lord…Heal Our Land! In the strong and mighty Name of JESUS…Amen.🙏🏽
God’s Word is unfolding before our very eyes—these times are the end times according to the many signs. I’ve said it before and I say it again now—THIS INCUBATION PERIOD of pandemic has PURPOSE. COVID, WEST NILE, HIV, AIDS—pandemic diseases unleashed in alarming rates, while various other “natural” disasters consistently climb.
Corruption and debauchery throughout out land and country—everyday the boundaries of sin are being pushed further and further. People are being brainwashed into accepting WRONG as RIGHT by the cultural pressure of society and subliminal messages of a crocked and perverse generation, causing the unaware to slip further and further into the abyss of sin and immorality.
But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times of great stress and trouble will come; difficult days that will be hard to bear. People will be lovers of themselves (self-focused/selfish), lovers of money (greed), boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control (immoral), brutal, haters of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of sensual pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of (outward appearance) godliness but denying its power (religion without relationship)—for their conduct (behavior) nullifies their faith.
Have nothing to do with such people and stay far away from them! They are the kind of people who worm their way into our homes and gain control over the gullible, morally weak, and spiritually immature, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires and impulses, always learning (listening to anybody who will teach them) but never able to come to a knowledge of THE TRUTH.
As for true Christians, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of (the truth of God’s Word), because you know those from whom you learned it (Truth Teachers), and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:1-9, 14-15, paraphrased).
Therefore, While the world 🌎 is on pause—PRAY!🙇🏾♂️🙇🏽♀️ God’s Word is right and true…Jesus will return in the blink of an eye—Are You Watching? Will You be READY? Now is the time to…Reflect, Re-evaluate and Repent. (2 Chronicles 7:14). Hallelujah and Amen! ~M. Ford
Today becomes tomorrow and tomorrow becomes yesterday—Everything must CHANGE!
This incubation period has purpose. When the caterpillar weaves it’s cocoon and eventually breaks out as a beautiful new butterfly the cycle begins again and another level of change happens!
If God can change a Worm 🐛 into a beautiful butterfly🦋, just imagine what he can do with you and I!😇
Let’s Worship while we Wait and Watch The Masters Plan unfold into something spectacular! ~M. Ford
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.” (Psalms 121:1-2)
GOD IS WORKING. This is an incubation season for us all. God is using this time of pandemic to pull us AWAY FROM many of the things of this world that so easily distracted us from truly doing HIS WILL.
GOD IS WORKING…to bring about CHANGE, to pull us CLOSER TO himself, and to line us up with HIS DIVINE PLAN.
GOD IS WORKING. Don’t rush The Master as He works to TRANSFORM the mundane into a MASTERPIECE.
GOD IS WORKING. The HEALING of our LAND requires PRUNING. The pruning PROCESS is PAINFUL…but that pain produces HEALING.
GOD IS WORKING. Everything that STARTS must STOP. What BEGINS will END. SEASONS CHANGE…Yet GOD remains the SAME.
GOD IS WORKING. This incubation PERIOD has PURPOSE. Will you let GOD do HIS perfect work in you?
GOD. IS. WORKING. ~M Ford
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)
Heavenly Father, I come praying Your protection, direction and covering over your children today…those who are called by your name. Touch those who are hurting, sick, disenfranchised, disillusioned, lonely and lost with your finger of healing, restoration, renewal and love in Jesus’ name. Father, bless us with an extra measure of your grace and mercy as we continue to seek your will for our lives. Lord, we desire to do greater works in your name! Help us be the light and salt in this dark and unsavory world! Purge, renew and strengthen us each day and empower us to live Holy. Help us to walk boldly in the calling you have upon our lives, for you have called us out of the darkness of the world into the marvelous light of eternity! It’s in Jesus’ mighty matchless name I put my trust and have hope! Amen🙏🏽
