“For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.” (Romans 12:4, 6-8)

Heavenly Father, I pray that you will raise up a remnant of believers that have not bowed their knee to the Baal’s of this modern world, and are willing to wage war on their knees in order to combat spiritual wickedness and demonic oppression of this present darkness!
I pray that you will give Pastor’s wisdom and understanding as they call their congregations to prayer and lead them to a spiritual understanding and revelation of the times. I pray that all true believers will seek hard after the truth of your Word so that they might be spiritually mature, equipped, rooted and grounded in the Word and not blown away by every wind of doctrine; and be able to withstand the wiles (tricks, traps, temptations) of the devil in this evil day. I pray that you will raise up mighty prayer warriors, preachers, pastors, prophets, teachers and evangelists who are truly sold-out for Christ; becoming beacons of light in a dark and dying world!
Father God, give your children an unrest in our spirits that will drive us to one accord fervent prevailing prayer over the decaying moral condition of our society, local communities, nation and our world consumed by human cunning and craftiness and deceitful schemes brought on by this present darkness.
Lord GOD, send a fresh WIND 💨 of steadfast faith and a FIRE 🔥 of desire for more of YOU that will ignite the hearts ♥️ of your people across the country and world! Hear my cry, Oh Lord, and Heal Our Land! It’s in Jesus’ mighty and matchless name I pray and praise you forever! Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—” Ephesians 4:11-15 NKJV
HEAVENLY FATHER…YOU are The True and Living GOD! We desire to live life Your Way, Yahweh!☝🏾🙏🏽Thank You for loving us past our faults and meeting us right where we are. As we bow in your presence this day, help us seek Your WILL in ALL things—and not our own way.
Comfort those who are hurting due to loss of loved ones, and touch those who need healing—whether physical, mental or emotional—release your healing balm that will penetrate any area of need. Strengthen those who are weak and ready to give up—let them know that for those who have no might you increase their strength when they wait upon YOU!
Open the eyes of those blinded by the lies and deceit of the enemy—free them from that terrible grip, so that they are forever free to truly experience life according to your will and purpose. For we know that this present darkness permeating our land and devastating your people is not something to be overcome in the flesh. But, we who are spiritual must mount up for battle in the spiritual realms, with our most steadfast, holy faith—wearing the whole Armor of God, praying in the spirit without ceasing at ALL times, and pleading The Blood Of Jesus over satanic situations encountered!
Help us, Oh Lord, to forge ahead in Jesus’ holy NAME—even when we get weak, frightened, discouraged and seem to have little hope, help us to find hope and peace in Your presence, and renewed strength and power in Your promises! Thank you, Father, for your divine love that lights up the darkest days of our lives!
Thank you, Father, for being the righteous Judge over all, for your grace that is sufficient, and for being the one and only Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Sovereign Savior and Prince Of Peace—Hallelujah! I pray this prayer in the mighty Name above all names, JESUS! Amen☝🏾🙌🏼🙏🏽M. Ford
“I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.” (Psalm 91:2-4)
