“THERE IS A NAME”

Heavenly Father, Thank you for yet another day that was not promised.

Help us this day to SEEK hard after more and more of YOU—not conforming to this world, but by the transforming of our minds through the washing of the Word.

Always steadfast in our Worship, faithful in our Witness and prevailing in our Prayers so that we might grow in grace, be spiritually strong, and able to withstand and prevail against the attacks of the enemy from WITHOUT and WITHIN! 

Proclaiming peace, harmony, unity, love and the fullness of Your Joy over our lives as we call upon Your Great Name—JESUS! 

We cast all of our cares upon You as we proclaim victory, rest in your presence and walk in deliverance and power EVEN NOW!

Thank you, Yahweh, for the POWER given us When we Call upon Your Great Name! Hallelujah and Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

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

SPEAK LIFE!

Father God, help us to SPEAK LIFE even when death seems to be looming at our doorway! We decree and declare that EVERY seemingly DEAD situation in our LIVES will be RESURRECTED for Your Glory!

We decree and declare that Your rejuvenating Breath of LIFE will circulate through our bodies restoring us to good health, and that we will prosper in the physical just as our souls prosper!

We declare that everything our hands touch will prosper and bring You glory and honor as we Work, Worship and Witness for You!

We decree and declare that peace, wellness, wholeness, longevity and prosperity is our portion and that the fullness of Joy in Jesus will overflow in our hearts and be complete!

We decree and declare that everywhere our feet trod we will drip Jesus—being READY and WILLING to do the work of the ministry, sharing your Love as we go; withholding nothing, but freely surrendering to Your Will and Your Way Yahweh every day!

We decree and declare Your FAVOR over our lives so that OUR CHILDREN ARE BLESSED, OUR MARRIAGES ARE BLESSED, OUR FAMILIES ARE BLESSED, OUR FINANCES ARE BLESSED, OUR HEALTH IS BLESSED, WHEN WE COME WE ARE BLESSED, AND EVERYWHERE WE GO WE ARE BLESSED!

THANK YOU FATHER FOR BLESSING US! HALLELUJAH AND 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, 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, Raise up Christian marriages with husbands and wives willing to do it God’s way and not their own way.

Help them to love you first, with their whole hearts, and you in turn will grant them grace to be loving, kind, and affectionate towards one another—supporting, encouraging, respecting and submitting to their own spouse as unto the Lord.

Draw them together in unity and oneness—committed to practicing selflessness, forgiveness, and keeping the sanctity of the bedroom in their marriages.

Compel them to be devoted to praying together and studying God’s word together in order to cultivate an atmosphere of unconditional love, respect, and peace in their home.

It’s in the transforming Name of Jesus I pray this humble prayer. Amen 💍❤️🙏🏽~M. Ford

“I AM FREE”

Those who Christ has set free are free indeed!

Don’t allow the poisonous gossip of the foolish to derail you from your predestined path of promise.

Live like you know Jesus and silence the lips of the foolish.🙏🏽~M. Ford

“For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.”  (1 Peter 2:15-16)
