”Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.“ (Romans 12:1-2 NIV)

“FOREVER I DO”💍♥️
“FOREVER I DO”💍♥️
Marriage is NOT a noun, it’s a verb. It’s not something you get, it’s something you DO.
It’s the WAY you LOVE your spouse EVERYDAY—through good times, through bad times, through up and down times, and all the times in between times.
It’s caring, sharing and showing your spouse Love.
But remember, Your spouse may be bilingual when it comes to Love Languages. So instead of changing spouses, change your Language.😘♥️💪🏽💍🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail;” (I Corinthians 13:4-8 NKJV)
“Heart of The Matter”
“HEART of The Matter”
Father God, I come praying for the hearts of the unsaved to be changed and that they come into the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Help the saved to have hearts broken by the things that break your heart and to have Your attitude toward sin.
Open the spiritual eyes and ears of your people to the truth of Christ and God’s Word regarding every area of life. Help us to truly believe in the ability of The Holy Spirit to set free from any unholy habit and sinful ways that cause us to walk against your will.
Draw by Your Spirit those in need of true repentance, deliverance, and salvation. Help the church to truly be The Church—a House of PRAYER, Hope, Healing, and Help for those seeking to live a transformed life in Christ.
Give you people a desire to go into the harvest field to share Christ, serve in ministry and disciple others—all for Your glory!
Thank you, ABBA, for trusting us with the Calling you’ve placed on our lives! Have your way as your perfect will be done. It’s in the sovereign Name above all names, JESUS, I pray. Hallelujah & Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36:26 NKJV)
“ABBA”
Father GOD, as we celebrate black history month, I pray that people of ALL colors, rich and poor alike, will seek to know You, The True and Living God! For you exercise loving kindness, righteousness, and judgment over all men. Therefore I pray that those in authority will line up under your sovereign Will as they make daily decisions that impact the masses.
Sovereign GOD, there is nothing too hard for You—no matter what we may be facing or what may be facing us—We cry out ABBA! WE BELONG TO YOU! Not our will, but Your perfect Will be done! In Jesus’ name I pray and praise you always…Hallelujah and Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD.” (Jeremiah 9:23-24)

Father God, I pour out my heart in prayer for marriages today. Turn the hearts of the husbands towards their wives, and turn the wives hearts towards their husbands. Bind marriages together with the third cord of Christ that is not easily broken. Set the desires of each couple on fire for each other and give them a passion to please one another. Replace selFISHness with selfLESSness. Uproot unforgiveness and plant compassion. Turn hearts of stone into hearts of flesh that will yield unconditional love. Open our spiritual eyes to see one another through the eyes of Christ. Stir up a love so deep and fulfilling that it will overcome any obstacles and be a beacon of light giving testimony of God’s goodness, mercy and grace! Allow peace to be our pillows at night and joy to surround us with the morning light! Fortify our faith and help us face each and every day TOGETHER so that nothing will shake our love, commitment, and unity. These blessings I pray upon every husband and wife as they seek to honor Christ in their marriage. Let Your perfect Will be done…It’s in the name of Jesus, who is The Christ, I pray and praise always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
