Heavenly Father, As we launch out into a new week, Your people are in dire need of your strength, confidence, courage, comfort and peace today.
Many may be fearful—facing trials, troubles and difficulties that seem too hard to bare and impossible to overcome.
Nevertheless, help us to realize that things are not always what they seem to be in the natural realm because of what is working for our good in the spiritual realm!
Open our spiritual eyes to see the invisible—that there are more on our side than those against us!

Many people will “wear” The Cross around their neck or tattooed on their body as a symbol of beauty or outward expression. But few are willing to “bear” The Cross, becoming a true disciple of Christ.
This type of FAITH requires total sacrifice of self; a change on the inside that prompts Christlike actions on the outside as we believe and trust in Jesus.
As we walk the sometimes painful paths of life that JESUS walked, with all of its shame, pain and gain, we must Remember…
There are no crown-wearers👑 in Heaven that were not cross-bearers✝️on earth—No Cross, No Crown.✝️👑🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” (Mark 10:21)

“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13)
Heavenly Father, Thank You for your precious blood🩸that can wash away every guilty stain of sin.
For You have commanded us to be Holy, just as you are Holy. Help your children to desire and SEEK after Your holiness and righteousness more than seeking after selfish pleasure, lustful desires, pride of life, and the things of this world.
Stir up within us a burning desire to live our lives Holy and acceptable unto You—hiding your Word deep within our hearts, so that we will not sin against You!
And when temptations come, we will have a solid foundation built upon your Word to help us live pure and Holy—not yielding so easily to sin and the wicked ways of this world.
Thank you, ABBA Father, for being forever faithful! It’s in the mighty and matchless Name above every name, JESUS, I humbly pray. Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct”. (1 Peter 1:14-15)
Father GOD, I come praying for Pastors—those You called and appointed to shepherd, guide and instruct the body of Christ.
I declare and decree a supernatural shifting in the church atmosphere as we band together on one accord and fervently plead the sanctifying blood of Jesus over every Pastor.
Give them a Shepherd’s heart for the people—caring for the one gone astray as much as the ninety nine that stay. Settle their mind on things that will bring glory and honor to YOU, and not on things of this world that have no eternal value.
Crown their heads with wisdom and knowledge from YOU on high—not leaning to their own understanding. Give them divine insight pertaining to spiritual things so that the body of Christ might be fully equipped for the work of ministry that honors You!
Prune away the foolishness of this world and anoint them with the fire of the Holy Ghost so that they will have YOUR discernment and discipline in order to build up the body of Christ according to Your perfect Will.
Keep them fixed and focused on Your WORD and Your WILL and not be distracted by the enemy, lusts of the flesh or the pride of life.
Rekindle a fire and desire in their hearts to see the body of Christ become strong in the FAITH and walk boldly in the KNOWLEDGE of Christ.
Empower them to lead their congregations to becoming mature believers—manifesting Christ’s spiritual completeness and exercising spiritual gifts in unity for the evangelizing of sinners, edification of the saints and the exaltation of Christ!
Have Your way Yahweh! It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus I pray…Amen!🙏🏽🌈💪🏽🙏🏽~M. Ford
“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.” (Ephesians 4:11-14 NIV)
