🎤🎶Our GOD…IS AN AWESOME GOD! He reigns…from heaven above with WISDOM, POWER & LOVE! Our GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!🙌🏼👏🏾💃🏾

Father God, we thank you for the Prayers of the righteous for they avail much! We double thank you for Mercy & Grace—that cause us to overcome & prevail in this Christian race!

Our hearts are exceedingly glad because we have seen Your handiwork & tasted of YOU—You are indeed good!

We stand on tiptoes of expectation as we move into this new Day! We REJOICE because it’s nothing for you to do the miraculous through us as we submit & surrender to Your divine Will—whether with many or a remnant few YOU will accomplish all you set out to accomplish! Use us to accomplish even greater works for the kingdom!

Consecrate our hearts & make us sensitive to Your will! Regulate our minds so we think on you more & more each day! Encourage our hearts so that we are fearless in the face of the enemy! Have Your way Lord! IJN, Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

Abba, we thank you for every good & perfect gift! We know not what this new week holds, so we commit it into Your loving hands. Allow Your rod and staff to protect & order our every step as You lovingly guide us into your perfect Will.

Father, there are so many of your children hurting and dealing with every issue under the sun. But, We know you can mend broken hearts and bring peace & comfort to those bereaved; revive & restore marriages; bring order to dysfunctional families; heal those who are sick; bring clarity of mind to those confused by the enemy; give hope to the hopeless, unveil blinded eyes of the lost, and give courage & confidence to those called by Your name so that they trust and see YOU clearly in every situation!

Thank you, Abba, for giving your Angels charge over us as we move out into the unknown—Surely Your goodness and mercy will follow us as we intentionally follow You! Cover each of us this day and keep us in your perfect Will.

You indeed are Good God and we love & adore you! It’s in the precious Name of Jesus I pray, Amen 🙏🏽

“BIGGER FRUIT”

Pruning Is Painful, But Necessary.

Pruning is a necessary part of the spiritual development process in order for the believer to move to the Next Level in their walk with Christ.

The price of pruning may seem high while you are in the process, but the end result will be spectacular!

Are you willing to submit to the pruning process in order to glorify God and reach your fullest potential in Christ? ~M. Ford

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” ‭‭(John‬ ‭15:1-2‬)

In order not to fall for the enemy’s lies, we must learn to stand on God’s truths.

Spiritual battles are won “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord!

So, when the enemy comes against you like a flood, that’s the time to pull out your Weapons of Spiritual Warfare: The Word, Praise and PRAYER! 📖💃🙏

Having these three in your spiritual arsenal makes the believer Armed and Dangerous!~M. Ford👿👊🏽💪🏽✝️

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil…” (Ephesians‬ ‭6:10-18)

Heavenly Father, As we launch out into a new day, we ask that you go before us to prepare the way. Line us up with your divine purpose as we put all our hope and trust in YOU—The One who make all things possible!

Father—lead, guide, direct and protect each of us as we go forward in this day. Allow us to accomplish every good work for Your glory! We proclaim that every trick and trap the enemy has set is spoiled, rendered useless, and defeated in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ!

Father, we surrender our wills to yours; allow your Spirit to fall fresh upon us so that we are empowered to accomplish every good work in your name. Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight this day, Oh Lord, for You alone are our strength and redeemer! We love, adore and honor You, Abba! Have Your Way…In Jesus’ name…Amen! 🙌🏼☝🏾🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.” (Psalms‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)
