Heavenly Father, I come praying today for Your children…those who are called by Your name. Help us to long for an intimate relationship with You—no longer desiring milk, but the meat of Your word to guide our lives, especially in times like these.

Father, consecrate our hearts so that we grieve over the sins of mankind and over our own personal sins, then confess and repent—turning away from those things that break Your heart and turning to Your Word and Prayer for the strength we need to truly Live Holy day by day.

Father, I Pray for spiritual accountability and freshness to fall upon each of us individually and collectively as one global body of believers to effectively serve in building up your kingdom here on earth—using our spiritual gifts and talents for ministry, mission and witnessing to the unchurched and unsaved in our homes, communities and beyond.

Father, I Pray for spirit-fed, spirit-lead and anointed pastors, teachers, preachers, leaders, prayer warriors and all true Christ followers to rise up and with holy boldness proclaim Your sovereignty, omnipotence, faithfulness, forgiveness, righteousness, mercy, grace and Love!

Father, I Pray for SPIRITUAL REVIVAL to sweep across this Land like a mighty rushing wind—turning the stony unrepentant hearts of the people back into submitted, surrendered hearts of flesh that truly seek to serve and live for You above all else! Hear my humble prayer on this day as we Fast and Pray, Oh Lord…Heal Our Land! In the strong and mighty Name of JESUS…Amen.🙏🏽

#2Chronicles7:14

God’s Mercy endures beyond our Mistakes. His Love Never Fails even when We Fall, because His Grace is Greater and Sufficient for us all. ~M Ford

“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8)

God’s Word is unfolding before our very eyes—these times are the end times according to the many signs. I’ve said it before and I say it again now—THIS INCUBATION PERIOD of pandemic has PURPOSE. COVID, WEST NILE, HIV, AIDS—pandemic diseases unleashed in alarming rates, while various other “natural” disasters consistently climb.

Corruption and debauchery throughout out land and country—everyday the boundaries of sin are being pushed further and further. People are being brainwashed into accepting WRONG as RIGHT by the cultural pressure of society and subliminal messages of a crocked and perverse generation, causing the unaware to slip further and further into the abyss of sin and immorality.

But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times of great stress and trouble will come; difficult days that will be hard to bear. People will be lovers of themselves (self-focused/selfish), lovers of money (greed), boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control (immoral), brutal, haters of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of sensual pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of (outward appearance) godliness but denying its power (religion without relationship)—for their conduct (behavior) nullifies their faith.

Have nothing to do with such people and stay far away from them! They are the kind of people who worm their way into our homes and gain control over the gullible, morally weak, and spiritually immature, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires and impulses, always learning (listening to anybody who will teach them) but never able to come to a knowledge of THE TRUTH.

As for true Christians, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of (the truth of God’s Word), because you know those from whom you learned it (Truth Teachers), and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:1-9, 14-15, paraphrased).

Therefore, While the world 🌎 is on pause—PRAY!🙇🏾‍♂️🙇🏽‍♀️ God’s Word is right and true…Jesus will return in the blink of an eye—Are You Watching? Will You be READY? Now is the time to…Reflect, Re-evaluate and Repent. (2 Chronicles 7:14). Hallelujah and Amen! ~M. Ford

Today becomes tomorrow and tomorrow becomes yesterday—Everything must CHANGE!

This incubation period has purpose. When the caterpillar weaves it’s cocoon and eventually breaks out as a beautiful new butterfly the cycle begins again and another level of change happens!

If God can change a Worm 🐛 into a beautiful butterfly🦋, just imagine what he can do with you and I!😇

Let’s Worship while we Wait and Watch The Masters Plan unfold into something spectacular! ~M. Ford

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.” (Psalms 121:1-2)

GOD IS WORKING. This is an incubation season for us all. God is using this time of pandemic to pull us AWAY FROM many of the things of this world that so easily distracted us from truly doing HIS WILL.

GOD IS WORKING…to bring about CHANGE, to pull us CLOSER TO himself, and to line us up with HIS DIVINE PLAN.

GOD IS WORKING. Don’t rush The Master as He works to TRANSFORM the mundane into a MASTERPIECE.

GOD IS WORKING. The HEALING of our LAND requires PRUNING. The pruning PROCESS is PAINFUL…but that pain produces HEALING.

GOD IS WORKING. Everything that STARTS must STOP. What BEGINS will END. SEASONS CHANGE…Yet GOD remains the SAME.

GOD IS WORKING. This incubation PERIOD has PURPOSE. Will you let GOD do HIS perfect work in you?

GOD. IS. WORKING. ~M Ford

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)

Heavenly Father, I come praying Your protection, direction and covering over your children today…those who are called by your name. Touch those who are hurting, sick, disenfranchised, disillusioned, lonely and lost with your finger of healing, restoration, renewal and love in Jesus’ name. Father, bless us with an extra measure of your grace and mercy as we continue to seek your will for our lives. Lord, we desire to do greater works in your name! Help us be the light and salt in this dark and unsavory world! Purge, renew and strengthen us each day and empower us to live Holy. Help us to walk boldly in the calling you have upon our lives, for you have called us out of the darkness of the world into the marvelous light of eternity! It’s in Jesus’ mighty matchless name I put my trust and have hope! Amen🙏🏽

“BE THE WHEAT”

Satan’s malicious intention in sowing tares among the wheat is to cause problems and confusion (James 3:16). The bad seeds grow to become poisonous weeds that allow only the healthiest of the wheat to survive. Tares, like weeds, have never been a marketable product. “Tares” are actually darnel, a seed hardly identifiable from the wheat seed, and “immature wheat” and darnel look alike. To try to destroy the darnel (tare) would mean destroying much of the wheat, and separating one from the other would be beyond the servants’ abilities. Only when the wheat has “matured” can the tares be detected. Then the tares are gathered together in bundles in the field and destroyed by fire.

Many who are NOT in the “process of conversion/transformation” resemble those who are. Just like true Christians, they go to church, pray, and read the Bible, but they are only religious “hobbyists”. Jesus calls them “sons of the wicked one” (Matthew 13:38), and being tares, they will be destroyed. The tares are not originally from the wicked one, but they develop character according to Satan’s strong influence and they are led by the enemy and so are his children (John 8:44).

Let us be the WHEAT because HARVEST TIME IS HERE! Hallelujah and Amen 🙌🏼🙏🏽❤️

Father, I pray for a “spirit of prayer” to spread like wildfire across our homes, churches, land and world until every church becomes A HOUSE OF PRAYER, saturated with spirit-led, prevailing prayer resulting in a harvest of souls turning back to The Lord! Father, cast out every wicked way, every evil thought and every dastardly deed! Forgive us of every sin, transgression and iniquity that has caused us to compromise our faith and walk against your perfect will. Wash us with the blood of Christ and we will be cleansed from the inside out! Father, fill us with your precious Holy Spirit and set our souls on blazing fire with a fervent love and overflow of desire for more of your presence and power to do the work of the kingdom right here on earth—all for Your Glory, oh God! It’s in the saving name of Jesus I pray and praise you always…Amen.

“He said to them, “It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers.” Matthew 21:13

Don’t expect a bountiful harvest if you have no seed in the ground. WORK—WORSHIP—WAIT! In the fullness of time God will send Showers of Blessings that you won’t have room to receive! ~M. Ford

“But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” (II Corinthians 9:6)
