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.
The catchall phrase offered by many Christians as an excuse for continuing in sin Is, “I’m only human”.
Instead of proclaiming that which we already know, begin to declare with your mouth The word of God, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!”
This paradigm shift in your THINKING will cause a transformation in your LIVING—FREE YOUR MIND and the rest will follow!🙏🏽~M. Ford
“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” (Galatians 5:1, 13 ESV)

Heavenly Father, We THANK YOU for your promise to restore those who have fallen away and to bind up the wounds of those torn, bruised and battered by sin and life.
For we realize that all have sinned and fall short of your glory—Thank You, Lord, for not dealing with us according to our sins, but out of the abundance of your love for us!
Father God, many are hurting and need healing in their body, mind and spirit—heal them from the inside out—Speak peace into chaos; give strength to the weak; bind up the wounds of the hurting; mend that which is broken; bring clarity into cloudy minds; and restore rejoicing where sorrow has claimed its home…in the mighty name of Jesus!
Father, You alone are our help and our hope in these evil days and our strong tower where the righteous can run in and be safe! We will continually praise you for your faithfulness and your goodness and mercy towards us!
Hear our humble cry this day, forgive our sins and to heal our land! It’s in That Name above ALL names I pray…JESUS! Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford
HALLELUJAH and AMEN TO THE ONE WHO IS CALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE! (Revelation 19:11)
“Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up.” (Hosea 6:1)
Father God, we lay at your feet asking forgiveness for sins of omission and commission—for we all have sinned and fallen short of your glory.
You alone, Father, are faithful and just to forgive our sins, cast them into the sea of forgetfulness, cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and restore the years that were eaten away by sinful actions.
Thank You Lord, for your promise to extend mercy and forgiveness to those who confess and forsake their sins. We thank You that Your ear is not closed to our cry’s, Your hands are ready to wipe away all our tears, Your arms will catch us when we fall and rock us when we hurt because Your love never fails—even in our darkest hours.
What then shall we render unto You, Oh Lord, for all of Your mercy and kindness towards us? We shall offer You the sacrifice of Praise—early in the morning, at noontime, and even in the midnight hours our hearts will rejoice and our lips will praise You on high—Our Prince of Peace, Strong Tower, Sovereign Savior! Hallelujah and Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford
Father God, I thank you for drawing near to all those who call upon your name in truth as we fast & pray today.
Thank You, that your arm is not too short to reach down and save the lost; your hand is open wide to bless, caress and comfort the comfortless; and your ear is not too dull to hear our humble one accord cry for the healing of our land.
Father, we stand on your promises, trusting in your holy Word, as we plead the cleansing blood🩸of Jesus and declare the power of His great Name!
That at the Name of JESUS every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that HE alone is LORD! That at the Name of JESUS those bound by sin will be set FREE forever! At the Name of JESUS demons will bow down in submission to HIS authority! At the Name of JESUS the sick will be healed, the lost saved, broken marriages mended, prodigal children returned, unholy habits ceased, estranged relationships restored, and every wrong made right at That Great Name!☝🏾🙌🏼

“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” (Psalm 145:18)

Sometimes God will send a “headwind” in your Life to slow you down so that you don’t get to your destination too soon—before patience has done its perfect work in You.
Although your Vision may tarry or be delayed, when you are “ready”, according to God’s perfect timing, He will send a “tailwind” that will get you to HIS intended destination for you…RIGHT ON TIME!🙌🏼💨🔥🙏🏽~M Ford
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” (James 1:2-4)
Mark Twain said, “Two most important days in your life are the day that you are born and the day you find out why”.
However, I believe that the two most important days in one’s life are the day we are born and the day we are REBORN.
It’s only then we can find out the TRUE PURPOSE of our birth—through Christ Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith.🙏🏽~M. Ford
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 ESV)
Father God, We pour out our prayers for marriages today. Turn the hearts of the husbands towards their wives, and the wives hearts towards their husbands.
Bind marriages together with the third cord of Christ that is not easily broken. Set their desires on fire for each other and give them a passion to please one another.
Replace selfishness with selflessness. Uproot unforgiveness and plant compassion. Turn hearts of stone into hearts of flesh that will yield unconditional love. Open their spiritual eyes to see one another through the eyes of Christ.
Stir up a love so deep and fulfilling that it will overcome any obstacles and be a beacon of light giving testimony of God’s goodness, mercy and grace.
Allow peace to be their pillows at night and joy to surround them with the morning light. Fortify their faith and help them face each and every day TOGETHER so that nothing will shake their love and commitment.
These blessings I pray upon every husband and wife as they seek to honor Christ in their marriage. Lord, Let Your perfect Will be done. It’s in the most high name of Jesus, who is The Christ, I pray and praise always! Amen 🙏🏽 ~M. Ford
