Sometimes…In order to WIN you have to lose.🤔🙏🏽
“Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” (Hebrews 12:1)
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow… Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalms 51:7, 10)
Father God, we realize that we are an imperfect people, living in an imperfect world; and often times we fall into Satan’s snares. We confess that many times we mess up and slip into various sin that devastate and rock our worlds. So we ask before we fall Father, help us avoid Satan’s tricks, traps and tactics! Help us, Father, to crucify this flesh daily–not yielding to the lusts of our own flesh and the pride of life. Father, Strengthen us in our inner being so that we may live victorious lives—holy and acceptable in your sight! Our desire, oh Lord, is to live holy—fulfilling every purpose you have for our lives. Father, we ask that you search our hearts—take us from where we are now to where you want us to be. We yield our wills to Yours perfect will, Oh Lord! Have Your way in our lives! It’s in the mighty name of Jesus I pray and praise you always! Amen.🙏🏽 ~M. Ford

“LET FREEDOM RING”
Some people move away from their homelands looking for it—sometimes leaving friends and family behind. Others start new lives—facing unknown dangers in the pursuit of it. Many fight against addictive demons—drugs, alcohol, over eating, smoking, perfectionism, pornography, and much more… all just for a taste of it. Armies are trained to fight for it; and far too many die on foreign soil fighting in defense of it. Then there are those who try every kind of “religion” imaginable striving to experience it. More and more people seek to find it through financial independence and the continuous acquisition of material things. We celebrate it in music, movies and paintings. Statues are erected in honor of it. Schools teach students to respect it. Leaders of countries deliver speeches about it. Riots break out and demonstrators march to voice frustration over not having it. So, what is “IT” that could be so highly treasured, sought after, honored and revered? FREEDOM! We all want it, even when we fear it. We were created to enjoy it—to experience nothing less. But down the corridors of history we lost it. The freedom we once knew under God—that ability to satisfy the desires of our heart in ways that pleased God became distorted, strained, twisted and faded by sin. Yet still we want our freedom, but we keep going after it in the wrong ways. So, we become slaves—slaves to cravings that draw us further into our own lusts and even further away from our God—The One who lovingly created us FREE to serve Elohim. The Word of God is life-changing for those who are willing to admit that they are sinners and desire a better way—God’s way! He who God has set free, is free indeed—no longer bound by the bondage and shackles of sin. That’s true FREEDOM—So, Let Freedom Ring! ~M. Ford

My Heavenly Father, I pray for your loving touch upon the hearts of those who are hurting and filled with sorrow and despair. No matter the reason for the pain and hurt, You Father, are the remedy. Soothe the pain, heal the heart ache, and place a smile in their spirit that will overshadow the sorrow and pain in their heart. And when they lay down at night, give them a peaceful sweet sleep; and bring them joy with the morning light! No matter the condition, situation or circumstance… Father, help each of your children to stay positive and keep the faith, even in the midst of trying times like these. Thank you Father for being faithful! It’s in Jesus’ name I pray and praise you always…Amen.🙏🏽
“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7)
“How Big Is Your God?”
If your expectation of what God can do ends with what you can think or see, then you serve a god with a little “g”!😱
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” (Ephesians 3:20)
Dead things should remain buried. Don’t allow others to keep digging up your Past in an effort to Kill your Future! ~M. Ford🙌🏼🙏🏽

A HOUSE OF PRAYER
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 an 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)
