“THERE IS A NAME”

Heavenly Father, Thank you for yet another day that was not promised. This day I proclaim peace, love and the fullness of Your Joy upon all those who call upon Your Great Name!  
As we cast all of our cares upon You in prayer, we rest in your presence and walk in deliverance as we are empowered by your Holy Spirit! 
Help us to seek hard after more and more of YOU—not conforming to this world and succumbing to unholy habits, but by the transforming of our minds through the washing of the Word. Always pure in our Worship, intentional in our Witness, and steadfast in Prayer in order that we might grow in grace, be spiritually empowered, and able to withstand and prevail against attacks of the enemy from WITHOUT and WITHIN!
LORD GOD, Fill us with Your Light—desiring to LIVE THE WORD over living as the world; perpetually seeking your face as we forsake every sinful way, polluted thought, and unholy habit! 
Thank you, ABBA, for the uncomprehending POWER given us When we call on THAT GREAT NAME—JESUS! It’s in HIS mighty and matchless NAME I pray and praise you always! Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.” (Proverbs‬ ‭18:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

A CLEAN HEART

“A CLEAN HEART”

LORD GOD, Give us a clean Heart so that we might serve you well. LORD, fix our hearts so that we can be used by You—For we are not worthy of all your blessings!
We have caved in to culture, retaliated against wrongs with ruthlessness, watered down righteousness, and strayed away from your Word! We have bowed down to lusts of the flesh and the idols of this world; and we have not fed our spirit what is needed to sore above sin and live Holy! We have grieved the Holy Spirit by quenching His perfect work in us; stagnating our transformation process into the likeness of Christ. 
Nevertheless…EVEN NOW, El Shaddai—God Almighty, sprinkle Your purifying CLEAN WATER on us so that we might be cleansed from ALL unrighteousness! Blot out our transgressions, and empower us to walk in your Will! Remove our iniquities, and make us READY for service! Fortify our Faith and EQUIP us for every battle!
LORD, give us a New Clean Heart and a New Spirit that desires and longs for the eternal things of Heaven and not the temporal things of this earth! 
Thank you, ABBA, for choosing and using us for Your glory and honor! It’s in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus I pray and praise you forever and always…Hallelujah and Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

“I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.” (Ezekiel‬ ‭36‬:‭25‬-‭27‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

STAND GUARD

Published on by Duty to Delight MinistriesLeave a comment

“STAND GUARD”

Heavenly Father, I come humbly praying for your divine guidance and protection today in every area of life. For every “doorway” not guarded by the Holy Spirit becomes a “gateway” for demonic spirits to enter.

Therefore, set a guard over our HEART, for everything we do flows from it. Keep our MOUTH free of perversity, our TONGUES void of slander and gossip, and dry up the flow of corrupt talk far from our LIPS!

Let our EYES look straight ahead towards the prize of the high calling and our gaze remain fixed directly on You—the author and finisher of our faith!

Fine-tune our EARS to Heaven’s wishes and let us not lean in to the foolishness of this world. Guide the paths of our FEET and help us remain steadfast in all our ways—not turning to the right or the left—so that we do not walk in the path of evil.

Bless the works of our HANDS so that everything we touch will bring glory and honor to You, our GOD, Elohim!

Help us to Watch and Pray always, standing steadfast in our Faith, so that we do not enter into temptation. For the Spirit is willing to do your will but the Flesh is weak—Therefore, Holy Spirit, empower us to be strong and courageous in the face of our adversary, the devil, who walks about like a roaring lion seeking to devour us!

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for giving us the GRACE we need to operate in LOVE even in the midst of hate; to show MERCY even when undeserving; to be a PEACEMAKER even when surrounded by chaos.

Thank you, JESUS, for your Agape LOVE that Saved us, lifted us out of sin, and will cause us to win in the end! Hallelujah and Amen!☝🏾🙏🏽~M. Ford

SOVEREIGN

“SOVEREIGN”
Heavenly Father, as we start a brand new week filled with brand new mercies and brand new opportunities, we give you brand new praises!
For You graced us with sweet sleep and your peace as our pillow. You held us so gently with your righteous right hand; patiently protecting and shielding us from seen and unseen dangers!
Thank you for Your never slumbering eyes that are always watching over us by day and by night; we never escape your Holy vision! 

LORD GOD Omnipotent, we recognize your awesome power and everlasting provision, so we steadfastly stand on your promises as we deal with everything under the sun this new week from health to wealth. We trust you to make our feet like hinds feet so that we don’t slip and slide out of your Will as we walk life’s treacherous roads and unpredictable paths.

Therefore, we lift up our eyes to the hills from where our help comes from; For all our help comes from You, Elohim, who made the heavens and earth! 
Thank You, ABBA, for always being our Provider, Waymaker, Promise Keeper, Deliverer, and Protector!
Hallelujah🙌🏼, Hallelujah🙌🏼, Hallelujah🙌🏼 and Amen !🙏🏽~M. Ford

CHURCHED, BUT NOT CHANGED!

Published on by Duty to Delight MinistriesLeave a comment
“CHURCHED…But Not CHANGED!”

Being “a Christian” is not simply something practiced at church on Sunday mornings:
If you “shout” and don’t “shift”—that’s Churched. 
“If you “buck” and don’t “yield”—that’s Churched. 
“If you “run” and don’t “wait”—that’s Churched.
“If you “speak in tongues” and still “gossip and slander”—that’s Churched. 
“If you “sing songs of praise” and don’t “Pray”—that’s Churched.
“If you “read the Word” and don’t “walk in the Spirit”—that’s Churched.
Being A CHRISTIAN is about living a CHANGED Lifestyle based on an intentional Choice to submit and surrender your will and Live for Christ—everyday!
God will give you revelation on how to move from Stagnation to the Next Level of Transformation in your spiritual walk “IF” you Pray and Obey!
Don’t Get Beat—You Know Better!🙏🏽😇~M. Ford

“And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.” (Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭47‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

A PRAYER FOR PASTORS

Published on by Duty to Delight MinistriesLeave a comment

Father God, I come Praying for Pastors all across this world today. Give them preaching power to rightly discern and deliver your Word with power, authority and clarity as they stand in Your Name.

Anoint them so that they will speak, teach and preach The Word of God—not adding to nor taking away, but steadfastly declaring the undiluted Truth! 

I pray that as Your Word goes forth during this day, lost souls will come to Christ in droves; Christians will be totally surrendered and Committed to Living Holy; and that Lives will be Transformed and Changed forever after experiencing a close life-altering encounter with Christ!

It’s in HIS mighty and matchless name I pray and praise always…Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

A PRAYER OF PRAISE & EXALTATION!🙌🏼☝🏾

Published on by Duty to Delight MinistriesLeave a comment

“A Prayer of Praise & Exaltation”

I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth! My soul boasts in the Lord because He has been my strength and my shield; My protector and my deliverer; My help and my hope; And He has put a new song in my mouth, and every praise is unto His holy Name!

I sought the Lord, and He heard my cry and delivered me from all my fears and foes. The Angels of the Lord encamp all around me and have been given charge over me. When enemies plot against me and make dastardly plans to destroy me, Jehovah Sabaoth—LORD of Hosts; Mighty Guardian—will raise up a standard against them! I shall not be afraid of their weapons of destruction formed by day or night because El Roi—God who sees all—will defend and deliver me in Victory!

Therefore, I will  seek, praise and exalt Elohim all the days of my life! Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! All His Saints, magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together this day! Hallelujah and Amen!☝🏾🙌🏼🙏🏽~M. Ford (Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭1‬-‭10‬)

THIS JOY I HAVE!

Published on by Duty to Delight MinistriesLeave a comment

“THIS JOY I HAVE!”

We often say “the JOY of the Lord is my strength“, but in reality we equate joy with the “happenings” that surround us—such as closing on that new house, obtaining that degree or diploma, getting that promotion on the job, opening a new business, or finally being included in a long sought after social status or position. 

All of these “good things” come from God, and we should rejoice when we receive these blessings from the LORD. However, it is possible to have all of these “good things” and still not have Joy. The mistake we often make is seeking JOY outside of GOD.

GOD is the ONLY true SOURCE of JOY. When we put our trust in Him, we can experience JOY in all our life circumstances—even in the midst of struggles, sickness and loss…IF our hope is in the LORD!

Don’t miss out on experiencing God’s great JOY in your life by putting your hope and trust in stuff or other people and their opinions. HOPE IN GOD! He alone is the health of our countenance that allows us to radiate love to those around us and experience the true JOY of the LORD!

THIS JOY is our STRENGTH!🙌🏼🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; For I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” (Psalm‬ ‭42‬:‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)
