Published on by Duty to Delight MinistriesLeave a comment

I’m so very grateful to God for allowing me to become a 2x Winner of the Reader’s Choice Christian Literary Award!📚🏆🎊🙏🏽

In 2021 I received this award for “PRAYER: The Key to Unlocking Blessings” in the Devotional Category. But I particularly cherish this year’s award in the Marriage & Relationship category because it was for a book that my husband and I wrote together— “For the Health of Your Marriage: Living & Loving Life Together”.

We praise God for the ministry He has called us to! Please continue to pray for us as we continue to do the work of Him who sent us! Love & Prayers always—Mary & James Ford 💍💚🙏🏽♥️

“We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.” (John‬ ‭9‬:‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

MISSION ✝️POSSIBLE

Published on by Duty to Delight MinistriesLeave a comment

“MISSION ✝️POSSIBLE”

Heavenly Father, Thank you for Your Love that Saved us and Raised us from sinking deep in sin! Because of Your Grace we are saved by Faith; therefore, we continually intercede in Prayer for those who are still walking in the blindness and degradation of unbelief and sin. Allow the purifying power of Your Holy Spirit to penetrate the Hearts of those who are lost so that they will believe and receive the free gift of your salvation while their blood is yet running warm in their veins. Prune away the callouses from hearts hardened by sin so they will truly know what it means to win. 

LORD GOD, You indeed are a deliverer, healer, restorer and mender of broken things! Bring forth healing, restoration and wholeness to those who are sick, torn and broken—For when YOU come into a situation everything must CHANGE and bow down to Your Sovereignty! You are still in the miracle-working business! We trust You to do those things men call impossible—for with YOU it’s NOW MISSION POSSIBLE! Show us YOUR GLORY, Oh GOD!  It’s in the mighty and matchless NAME above all names, JESUS, I pray and praise always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭25-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

YOUR WAY YAHWEH!

Published on by Duty to Delight MinistriesLeave a comment

Heavenly Father, 

Open up our hearts today so that we are receptive to the leading, guidance, teaching and correction of the Holy Spirit. For we know not how to pray as we ought to, so Holy Spirit take control—wash and cleanse us from all unrighteousness and create in us clean hearts so that we can be used for Kingdom building work here on earth. Search our hearts and if you find any thing, thought, action or deed that’s hindering our prayers and diminishing our walk with you, remove it with grace as we fervently seek your face. Line up our hearts desires with your desires, transform our thoughts into your thoughts, and sync our wills with your Will. Grant us discernment and endow us with wisdom beyond our human intellect. Holy Spirit speak into our spirits new life—A new life that does not clamor after culture, seek vain glory, or prosper from wickedness; but one that strives to become more like Christ every day!

Holy Spirit have your way as we submit and surrender to you day-by-day! It’s in the transforming Name of Jesus I pray and will always praise…Hallelujah & Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford (Psalms 51)

“WORDLESS WORSHIPPERS”

El Shaddai—GOD ALMIGHTY—we are in AWE of you! You sit high and look low…Nothing escapes your holy vision! As we begin another week that you’ve allowed, Holy Spirit, Empower us to Live a lifestyle of Worship that speaks louder than our words. 

For TRUE Worship starts on the inside (heart) and impacts everything on the outside (lifestyle). Therefore, our hearts’ desire is to be TRUE Worshippers—those that seek to worship you in spirit and truth; not only with our lips, but with our lives from our hearts!

Father GOD, take believers back to the HEART of TRUE WORSHIP where it’s ALL about YOU alone! Hallelujah and Amen!🙏🏽♥️~M. Ford

“DRIP JESUS🩸”

Father GOD, Turn the people’s hearts back to you so that spiritual eyes and ears are opened to the truth of Christ, and hearts are surrendered to your Word regarding every area of life. 

Holy Spirit, set a fire down in our soul that we can’t contain and can’t control!🔥🙏🏽 Oh GOD, we need more of YOU and less of this world in order to truly live holy! 

El Shaddai, help those who are saved to truly desire to live a transformed life in Christ—sincerely having Your attitude towards sin and No longer trusting in our own abilities, human resources, or man made promises; but rather to wholeheartedly proclaim your sovereignty and rest in the blessed assurance that YOU can do anything but fail!

Help us to “DRIP JESUS” 🩸 as we go out into the harvest field to share Christ, serve others, and disciple the saved. It’s In Jesus’ mighty & matchless name I pray, Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Heavenly Father, Help us to be faithful to you  just as you are faithful to us. Give us a HEART for the things that’s near and dear to Your Heart; a transformed MIND of Christ; HANDS eager to do Your Will and the Work of the Ministry; and FEET that run swiftly into obedience to your Word. 

LORD, Help us to never lose sight of YOUR Kingdom Calling on our lives as we humbly submit and surrender to Your Will daily. You are the Potter and we are the clay—mold us and shape us into vessels that bring you honor and glory in every way!

We stand with holy boldness in our Faith proclaiming this day that NO Weapon formed against us shall prosper as we cast out every defeatist thought; course correct every action taken outside of your will; and repent and separate from any conduct that will separate us from You and hinder us from accomplishing Your perfect Will! 

Thank you, ABBA, for loving us past our faults and guiding us into Your precious promises as we forge faithfully into Victory!

It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus I humbly pray! Hallelujah and Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

ANOINTED MESSENGER

“ANOINTED MESSENGERS”

Heavenly Father, Thank you for another opportunity to sit at your feet and soak up your presence. Allow a perpetual desire to worship you in spirit and truth overtake those who are truly seeking your face. 

I pray for your people, those called by your Name and ordained by your Holy Spirit, to be the anointed messengers of God that you have called us to be. Help us not to bend our knees to the Baal’s of this world as we lead your people into a closer walk with thee. 

I fervently pray that we will walk in obedience to Your Word; our hearing will be fine-tuned into Heaven’s will; our hearts will be consecrated for worship; we will serve God and others in spirit and truth; and that our lips will speak only the words given by The Holy Spirit when we stand before your people and open our mouth to share the gospel. 

Jehovah Tsidkenu—God of our Righteousness—Ignite a holy-Ghost fire down deep within our belly to give us divine wisdom, supernatural knowledge, profound understanding, and a holy boldness to proclaim the mystery of the good news of salvation through Christ Jesus! 

Hear this humble prayer, Oh Lord, and manifest your answer even NOW! It’s in the mighty Name of Jesus I pray and praise always! Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,” (Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬ ‭NIV)
