Heavenly Father, Thank you for your mercies that are new to us every morning! Because of the shed blood of Jesus, we can live a new life free from the bondage of sin…and I THANK YOU!
Gracious Father, allow the purifying power of your Holy Spirit to cleanse our lives from all things that dishonor you and hinder us from doing your perfect will. In the mighty name of Jesus, we cast off every form of unrighteousness and yield our total being—Mind, Body, Soul, and Spirit to your transforming grace.
You are the Potter and we are the clay! Help us, Oh Lord, to trust you and walk in holiness day-by-day! It’s in the saving Name of Jesus I pray and praise you always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9 ESV)
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your unfailing love! Thank you for yet another opportunity to enter into your throne room and lay our petitions at your feet. I come praying that your people, who are called by your name, will humble themselves and pray fervently for a spiritual revival in our land!
For we know that you are the only light of hope we have in this present darkness, and the only remedy for a sin sick world. Help us to seek hard after Your will and to repent of every evil way and sin that separates us from You!
I pray that your Holy Spirit will sweep across our land and country like a mighty rushing wind…setting on fire hearts with a burning desire for more of You and less of this world! I pray that The Holy Spirit will ACTIVATE—freeing hearts and minds that are captive by demonic depression, oppression and possession!
I pray that those who don’t know You as Savior and Lord will be set free from Satan’s grip so that the loss will come into the knowledge of Your saving grace!
Father…endow the saints with holy boldness to witness for Christ and not fall prey to Satan’s tricks and traps! Raise up a remnant of people who will obey your Word and live holy! Raise up a remnant of people who won’t bend, bow or break under the weight and pressures of this life! Raise up a remnant of people who are willing to do it Your way, Yahweh!
Oh Lord, Our GOD…Hear our Hearts Cry, and Heal Our Land! It’s in the mighty and matchless Name above every name, JESUS, I Pray…Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
Thank you, Jesus, for Not quitting on the Cross so that our souls would Not be lost!
Endow us with that same ability of endurance as we travel through this life’s journey—so that we too will not quit before we reach the Finish Line. For we know that the Race is Not given to the Swift, BUT to the One who ENDURES TO THE END!
Father God, You indeed are faithful to complete that which you have begun in us. Therefore, help us to willingly lay aside earthly distractions with temporal gratification in order that we might accomplish our heavenly assignments and gain eternal rewards.
Thank you, Lord, for giving us Sticking and Staying power! It’s in the mighty & matchless Name of Jesus Christ I pray and praise you always, Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:” (Hebrews 10:35-36 NKJV)
Heavenly Father, Oh, how we Love you! We stand in dire need of your strength, confidence, comfort, healing, restoration and peace today. Many of your people are facing trials, troubles, tasks and tests that seem too much to bare and impossible to accomplish or overcome. Nevertheless, help us to realize that things are not always what they seem to be in the natural realm because of what is taking place in the spiritual realm. Open our spiritual eyes so that we might see your supernatural movements in our natural situations day-by-day. For You have promised that in times of uncertainty, unrest and raging storms in our lives, to make us steady and sure—able to stand firmly even on the shifting sands of life. Help us to never forget that you are the source of our strength, that You will provide every need for us, and that there is an invincible army of angels that will fight our every battle…IF we just Be Still, Trust & BELIEVE!
Help us to look past our problems and our pain and remember your Promises! Standing firmly on your Word at all times and boldly declaring that GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN US, than he who is in the world! Like a tree planted by the rivers of water—We Decree and Declare that WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED! Thank you, Father, for your Faithfulness! It’s in the mighty and matchless name of JESUS I pray and praise always…AMEN🙌🏼🙏🏽~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. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.” (Psalms 121:1-3)
Heavenly Father, Our hearts are crying out for healing to go forth in our cities, states, nations and world! I fervently pray for your Word Of Truth to penetrate hardened hearts, release and restore those caught in sins traps, and for the spiritually lost to come into the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Help those who are “The Called” to truly desire a transformed life in Christ, and live to bring glory and honor to Him in all things. Give your people a desire to go into the harvest field to share Christ, serve others, and make disciple as you have instructed.
Father God, open the eyes, ears and hearts of the people to the truth of Christ and His Word—from the White House, to the School House, to the Court House, to the Church House, to our House…Let YOUR NAME BE GLORIFIED! Hear our hearts cry, Oh Lord….forgive our sin and heal our land!
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus The Christ I pray and praise you always…Amen.🙏🏽M. Ford
Father God, pour out your spirit upon all flesh, especially those souls searching and seeking hard after 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!
Father God, we know that whether with many or a remnant few you will accomplish all you set out to accomplish! Anoint and Appoint those who are truly sold-out for Christ and will represent the Kingdom well—in spirit and in truth!
Holy Spirit REACTIVATE Believers—young and old—who are called, anointed and appointed for such a time as this! Grace us with holy boldness as we combat the enemy, reclaim and take back our homes and communities for Christ!
Use us to do even greater works for the kingdom! Have your way Lord…ALL for Your glory! We love, praise, worship & adore you….IJMN, Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.” (Psalms 143:10)
Father God, Help us to be faithful to you 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 to do Your Will, and Feet to 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 glory!
This day we decree and declare No weapon formed against us shall prosper as we bind up every defeatist though, action and conduct that will hinder us from accomplishing Your perfect Will!
Thank you, Father, for loving us past our faults and guiding us into Your precious promises as we forge faithfully into Victory, In the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus! Hallelujah and Amen 🙏🏽
“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”. Philippians 1:6
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, Yahweh! He who God has set free, is free indeed—no longer bound by the bondage and shackles of sin. That’s true FREEDOM—Let Freedom Ring!♥️🤍💙🙏🏽~M. Ford

Heavenly Father, Open the eyes of our heart, so that we might see things the way You see them and not be blinded by the pride of life, lust of the flesh, or the wicked ways of this world. Open the eyes of our heart, so that we might see your divine Hand moving in every circumstance of our lives. Open the eyes of our heart, so that our passions will move us into actions that represent Christ well. Open the eyes of our heart, so that we will truly hunger and thirst after your righteousness and not cling to our own selfish desires. Open the eyes of our heart, so that our talk will line up with our walk as we become living billboards for Christ. Open the eyes of our heart, Oh Lord…Open the eyes of our HEART! It’s in the saving Name of Jesus who is The Christ I pray and praise always…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford
