Father, Help every believers to cloth themselves in humility; realizing that God hears the cry of the humble and delivers them from all of their trouble! Help believers gain confidence in knowing that Your presence accompanies and sustains those who are of a contrite and humble spirit. Come, Holy Spirit! Dwell in and with Your people to empower us to accomplish GREATER for the Kingdom! Thank you Father! It’s in Jesus’ mighty and matchless name I pray…Amen
“For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.” (Isaiah
Heavenly Father, I pray that all who are called by Your Name will walk in the spirit of humility, just as Jesus walked. Help us to live out that humility each and every day, deliberately seeking to be more like Christ—to act justly, love mercy and live each day recognizing that pride leads to destruction and humility breeds honor. Thank you, Father, for leading and guiding your children in the way that is right and good in your sight as we humbly submit and surrender to your will. Thank you for loving us past our failures into a future filled with your promises! It’s in Jesus’ sovereign name I pray…Amen.
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)
Father, I pray that all Christians will commit to humbly bowing before You in prayer at the beginning of each day in order to receive strength and grace needed for the Journey. Help us to overcome all obstacles, tricks and traps of the enemy in order that we might live holy and represent the kingdom well. It’s In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. Amen
“But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:6-7)
“IMPERFECT PEOPLE”
Imperfect people living in an Imperfect world makes the Perfect opportunity for God to work the Miraculous!~M. Ford😇🙏🏽
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.” (Psalms 37:23)
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 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 The Christ, I pray and praise always…Amen!🙏🏽❤️
“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)

“But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:15-16)
Father God, bless your children on today with GREATER! A greater capacity to love, comfort others, forgive, and encourage those we encounter—showing and sharing the hope of your deliverance and salvation as we let our Christ-light shine on those blinded by this present darkness. Father, equip and anoint us for every good work—persevering and prevailing in prayer!

“And that servant who knew his master’s will, but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating…Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.” (Luke 12:47-48)
Jesus Is A Faithful Friend. Others May Fall Away, But HE Will Always Stay! ~M. Ford 🙌🏼💃🏾🙏🏽
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” (John 15:13)
Little things can make a big impact on our lives. When you consider the mouth in comparison to other parts of the human anatomy, it may not seem as significant—but it is a powerful instrument to be used for good or evil—to bring joy or pain. The mouth can be used as an instrument for uplifting and encouraging or it can be dastardly and devastating to others based upon the “words” that come forth from it.
Think about it…how have you used your mouth lately? Perhaps in praise, prayer, encouragement, motivation, and blessings—to praise and worship our Lord and Savior? Maybe you have used your “words” as a secret weapon when you get into verbal arguments—or, to strike back at someone who you feel has wronged you—or, to tear down and curse people…those who were created in God’s likeness? Praises and curses coming from the same mouth…the apostle James says that these things ought not to happen—“…If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body” (James 3:2-10). So, as you self-reflect on your verbal history, remember… “Speak No Evil”.
