“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13)
Heavenly Father, Thank You for your precious blood🩸that can wash away every guilty stain of sin.
For You have commanded us to be Holy, just as you are Holy. Help your children to desire and SEEK after Your holiness and righteousness more than seeking after selfish pleasure, lustful desires, pride of life, and the things of this world.
Stir up within us a burning desire to live our lives Holy and acceptable unto You—hiding your Word deep within our hearts, so that we will not sin against You!
And when temptations come, we will have a solid foundation built upon your Word to help us live pure and Holy—not yielding so easily to sin and the wicked ways of this world.
Thank you, ABBA Father, for being forever faithful! It’s in the mighty and matchless Name above every name, JESUS, I humbly pray. Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct”. (1 Peter 1:14-15)
Father GOD, I come praying for Pastors—those You called and appointed to shepherd, guide and instruct the body of Christ.
I declare and decree a supernatural shifting in the church atmosphere as we band together on one accord and fervently plead the sanctifying blood of Jesus over every Pastor.
Give them a Shepherd’s heart for the people—caring for the one gone astray as much as the ninety nine that stay. Settle their mind on things that will bring glory and honor to YOU, and not on things of this world that have no eternal value.
Crown their heads with wisdom and knowledge from YOU on high—not leaning to their own understanding. Give them divine insight pertaining to spiritual things so that the body of Christ might be fully equipped for the work of ministry that honors You!
Prune away the foolishness of this world and anoint them with the fire of the Holy Ghost so that they will have YOUR discernment and discipline in order to build up the body of Christ according to Your perfect Will.
Keep them fixed and focused on Your WORD and Your WILL and not be distracted by the enemy, lusts of the flesh or the pride of life.
Rekindle a fire and desire in their hearts to see the body of Christ become strong in the FAITH and walk boldly in the KNOWLEDGE of Christ.
Empower them to lead their congregations to becoming mature believers—manifesting Christ’s spiritual completeness and exercising spiritual gifts in unity for the evangelizing of sinners, edification of the saints and the exaltation of Christ!
Have Your way Yahweh! It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus I pray…Amen!🙏🏽🌈💪🏽🙏🏽~M. Ford
“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.” (Ephesians 4:11-14 NIV)
Your perspective on life can make or break you! When we factor GOD into the equation…ALL THINGS BECOME POSSIBLE!🙌🏼🌈 If God can change a Worm 🐛 into a beautiful butterfly🦋, just imagine what he can do with you and I!💜You are His Masterpiece in the making!😇
Let go!🙌🏼
Let God!☝🏾
Watch Him Work!🙏🏽~M. Ford
“God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “You shall say this to the Israelites, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”(Exodus 3:14 AMP)
YOU were CHOSEN on Purpose FOR PURPOSE. God does not call the equipped, HE equips The Called.
If you can stop doing what you say “God called you to do” without remorse, longing, or emptiness…Then it’s NOT A Calling.🙏🏽
Father God, move upon the hearts of The Called—drawing them to be totally surrendered to the Will of Christ; walking in obedience and living transformed Lives—no longer succumbing to the ways of this world and the lusts of the flesh.
I plead The Blood of Jesus over every diabolical plan, plot, trick, trap and attack of the enemy against those Called by God!
I decree that every Demonic spirit that raises up against Your Anointed be cast back into to pits of hell to torment them no more!👿🤛🏽
Jehovah Tsidkenu—God of our Righteousness, Glorify yourself in our lives so that this sin-sick world will know we serve a Risen Savior!
It’s in the strong and mighty Name above every name, JESUS, I pray and praise! Amen🙏🏽 ~M. Ford
Father GOD, allow the Fresh Wind💨 of the Holy Spirit to blow on your people, empowering us for greater works! Send a Cleansing FIRE🔥to purge us from all that is unrighteous and unholy! OH LORD, Our GOD—Hear our heart’s cry! Move by the might of your own Omnipotence upon the hearts and minds of the people—Restore, heal, and deliver us from the snares of the Fowler, the lust of our own flesh, and the pride of life! Jehovah Tsidkenu, GOD of our Righteousness, we look to You for guidance and deliverance as we Loose on earth what you have already loosed in Heaven; and we bind on earth what you have already bound in Heaven! Thank you, ABBA, for the Gift of The Holy Spirit we have in these earthen vessels and the KEYS you’ve given us to the Treasures of Heaven! We SEEK Your perfect Will for our lives—Let it be done “IN” and “through” those called by Your Name! It’s in That Great and Awesome Name—JESUS, I pray and praise always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:19 ESV)
