“AWESOME GOD!”

Father GOD, you indeed are AWESOME! Thank you, for being so very GOOD to us!

Your MERCY never runs out—it’s new every morning!

Your GRACE is undeserved—yet you give it freely!

Your LOVE has no boundaries—you love us beyond our faults.

You shower us with FAVOR—GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS!

Our hearts are filled with GRATEFULNESS to have been CALLED  and CHOSEN!

Help us to walk out of the darkness of this world and into the marvelous light of your salvation!

Have your way, Yahweh! We love, praise, worship and adore you always….In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!””(Revelation‬ ‭7‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

THINK ABOUT IT…

How have YOU used your mouth lately?  Perhaps in praise, prayer, magnification to worship our Lord and Savior?  Maybe in blessings, encouragement, and motivation to family, friends or peers?

Or perhaps you have used your mouth to spew out “words” as a secret weapon when you get into a verbal arguments—or, to strike back at someone who you feel has wronged you, to tear down and curse people who displeased you.

Don’t fail to remember that these very same people are created in God’s likeness. The Apostle James says that Praises and Curses coming from the same mouth ought NOT happen—If we control our mouths we can control our actions and therefore result in better outcomes!

So, as you self-reflect on your verbal history just this week alone…REMEMBER… “Speak No Evil”!👄🙏🏽~Mary A. Ford

“If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body” (James 3:2-10).

“SEEKING GOD’S FACE”

Father GOD, I pray that Christians all around the world will Seek the FACE of GOD versus the hand of God.

I pray that as believers FAST and PRAY for Spiritual Revival in our homes, churches, communities, and world, that GOD would increase our believing faith in His ability to intervene supernaturally and do the impossible in times of personal crisis and world chaos! 

I pray that as we deny ourselves the fleshly appetites for food, entertainment and personal pleasures to SEEK YOUR FACE in Prayer and Fasting that You will pour out your Spirit in ways unimaginable and those things that proved impossible for man will manifest into unexplainable realities through GOD!

Thank you, ABBA, for hearing and answering this humble prayer. It’s in the powerful name of JESUS I pray and praise always! Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”” (‭Mark‬ ‭9:23‬)

“PRAY…DON’T PANIC”

Father God, how excellent is your name in all the earth! Thank You that Your arm is not too short to reach down and save, nor is Your ear too heavy to hear the prayers of the righteous.

For you promised to hear and draw near to all who call upon Your Name in truth, and to extend mercy and forgiveness to those who confess and forsake their sins.

Help those who believe in You to walk in a spirit of humility; recognizing that pride leads to destruction and humility precedes honor. Compel us to seek You first in prayer when faced with insurmountable odds—allowing urgency and fervency to characterize our prayers so that we Pray, and Not panic!

I pray that as we humbly seek Your face, our faith will increase in Your ability to intervene supernaturally in any situation and do the impossible!

I Praise You, Oh Lord, for Your promise to heal those who are sick; restore those who have fallen away; to bind up the wounds of the torn and bruised; and to restore the years that the locust has eaten!

It’s in the mighty, matchless name of Jesus The Christ I pray and praise You always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“THERE IS A NAME”

Heavenly Father, Thank you for yet another day that was not promised.

Help us this day to SEEK hard after more and more of YOU—not conforming to this world, but by the transforming of our minds through the washing of the Word.

Always steadfast in our Worship, faithful in our Witness and prevailing in our Prayers so that we might grow in grace, be spiritually strong, and able to withstand and prevail against the attacks of the enemy from WITHOUT and WITHIN! 

Proclaiming peace, harmony, unity, love and the fullness of Your Joy over our lives as we call upon Your Great Name—JESUS! 

We cast all of our cares upon You as we proclaim victory, rest in your presence and walk in deliverance and power EVEN NOW!

Thank you, Yahweh, for the POWER given us When we Call upon Your Great Name! Hallelujah and Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

SPEAK LIFE!

Father God, help us to SPEAK LIFE even when death seems to be looming at our doorway! We decree and declare that EVERY seemingly DEAD situation in our LIVES will be RESURRECTED for Your Glory!

We decree and declare that Your rejuvenating Breath of LIFE will circulate through our bodies restoring us to good health, and that we will prosper in the physical just as our souls prosper!

We declare that everything our hands touch will prosper and bring You glory and honor as we Work, Worship and Witness for You!

We decree and declare that peace, wellness, wholeness, longevity and prosperity is our portion and that the fullness of Joy in Jesus will overflow in our hearts and be complete!

We decree and declare that everywhere our feet trod we will drip Jesus—being READY and WILLING to do the work of the ministry, sharing your Love as we go; withholding nothing, but freely surrendering to Your Will and Your Way Yahweh every day!

We decree and declare Your FAVOR over our lives so that OUR CHILDREN ARE BLESSED, OUR MARRIAGES ARE BLESSED, OUR FAMILIES ARE BLESSED, OUR FINANCES ARE BLESSED, OUR HEALTH IS BLESSED, WHEN WE COME WE ARE BLESSED, AND EVERYWHERE WE GO WE ARE BLESSED!

“LET FREEDOM RING” 

Some people move away from their homelands looking for it—sometimes leaving friends and family behind. Others start new lives—facing unknown dangers in the pursuit of it.

Many fight against addictive demons—drugs, alcohol, over eating, smoking, perfectionism, pornography, and much more… all just for a taste of it.

Armies are trained to fight for it; and far too many die on foreign soil fighting in defense of it. Then there are those who try every kind of “religion” imaginable striving to experience it.

More and more people seek to find it through financial independence and the continuous acquisition of material things.

We celebrate it in music, movies and paintings. Statues are erected in honor of it. Schools teach students to respect it. Leaders of countries deliver speeches about it. Riots break out and demonstrators march to voice frustration over not having it. 

So, what is “IT” that could be so highly treasured, sought after, honored and revered? FREEDOM!  

We all want it, even when we fear it. We were created to enjoy it—to experience nothing less. But down the corridors of history we lost it. The freedom we once knew under God—that ability to satisfy the desires of our heart in ways that pleased God became distorted, strained, twisted and faded by sin.

Yet still we want our freedom, but we keep going after it in the wrong ways. So, we become slaves—slaves to cravings that draw us further into our own lusts and even further away from our God—The One who lovingly created us FREE to serve Elohim.

The Word of God is life-changing for those who are willing to admit that they are sinners and desire a better way—God’s way, Yahweh!

He who God has set free, is free indeed—no longer bound by the bondage and shackles of sin. That’s true FREEDOM—Let Freedom Ring!♥️🤍💙🙏🏽~M. Ford
