“With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:6-8 ESV)

“When I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.” (2 Timothy 1:5-6)
Father God…our hearts are so glad because of what you have done in us and through us thus far! We stand on tiptoes of expectation as to what you will do as we move further in and deeper down in our relationship with you!

Consecrate our hearts so that we are sensitive to your will! Regulate our minds so that we think on you more each day! Sharpen our vision so that we see in the spiritual realm! Fine tune our hearing so that we recognize Your voice even in the midst of chaos and confusion! And, when we get weak and tired, oh Lord, Strengthen us for this journey! Have your way Lord…ALL for Your glory! We love, praise and worship you always….IJN, Amen🙏🏽

Power to cast out demons & cause the enemy to flee when we CALL UPON THAT GREAT NAME JESUS AND PLEADING OF THE BLOOD!!! GOD ALMIGHTY SHOW US WHO YOU ARE TODAY AS WE FAST & PRAY!☝🏾🙌🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
What will YOU be doing when Jesus returns? No one knows the day nor the hour, so don’t delay accept Him today. Then Watch and Pray…it will determine if you go or stay! ~M. Ford
“For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” (Matthew 24:38-42)
The fact that you have peaked the enemy’s interest means You are a valuable witness for God’s Kingdom. It’s Your time to SHINE!…Not Whine!😇
“And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him without reason.”” (Job 2:3)
Heavenly Father, Allow your loving, healing touch to rest upon the hearts and bodies of those who are hurting and sick today. No matter the reason for the hurt, or the nature of the illness, You Father, are the remedy. Soothe the physical pain, cool the burning fever, diminish the mental despair, and heal the hurt and heartache in those who have lost loved ones, battling sickness, struggling with depression or feeling distressed and pressed by the cares of life. Father, abolish every scheme, trick, plot and plan of the enemy as we counteract every vain imagination with your Word! Father, place a smile within our spirit, joy deep within our soul and give us your perfect peace that will overshadow all sorrow, pain, distress and unrest in our hearts. Give us peaceful nights with sweet sleep, and joyful days with great expectations that you will bring us joy with every new dawning, if we just hold on to our faith and faint not! Allow your mercy and grace to flow like rivers of Living water, and your peace that pass all understanding to rest upon the hearts and minds of those who put their trust in you! It’s In the matchless name of Jesus I pray and praise you always…Amen.🙏
