LET THERE BE!
“LET THERE BE”
Heavenly Father, Let Your Will be done on this earth as it is done in Heaven. Allow Your anointing to fall fresh on Your people today; empowering us to do greater works for Your Glory! There is nothing too hard for You, Elohim—the One who called everything into existence by simply speaking three words, “Let there be”!
El Shaddai—Hear my humble heart’s cry as I pray for the sick to be healed and restored; for the disenfranchised to find help and hope; for the lost and unchurched to flock into the House of Prayer seeking deliverance and restoration in Christ Jesus; and for people rich and poor alike to seek to know You in the beauty of Your holiness!
LORD GOD, set the hearts of the saints on fire for You until we truly hunger and thirst after your righteousness—seeking to Love God, learn the Word, serve Others, and Live Holy for Your Glory—withholding nothing and surrendering all!
It’s In Jesus’ mighty and matchless name I pray and praise you always…Hallelujah and Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford (Psalms 145:3)
TIME TO DOUBLE DOWN!
“TIME TO DOUBLE DOWN!”
Heavenly Father, Your children are in dire need of your strength, confidence, comfort, power and peace today. Many are facing trials, troubles, tasks and tests that seem too much to bare and impossible to overcome.
Nevertheless, You are the GOD over impossibilities! 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.
Therefore, help us to stand firm on our Faith, knowing without a shadow of doubt that with YOU being FOR us, IN us, and WITH us is more than the world against us! For you have given your angels charge over us and there is an invincible army that will fight our every battle!
Your promise still stands that in times of uncertainty, unrest and raging storms of life, You will make us steady and sure—standing firmly on your Word at all times—decreeing and declaring WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED because YOU, our GOD, are our source of courage and strength!
Thank you for your faithfulness and your favor, Father! It’s in the mighty and matchless name of JESUS, who is The Christ, I pray and praise always…AMEN.🙌🏼☝🏾🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8)
EVEN NOW
“EVEN NOW”
Heavenly Father, You are indeed an AWESOME GOD! I come praying for Your protection and covering over your people today. Give each of us an extra portion of grace, mercy and STRENGTH as we enter this new day—Not knowing what we may encounter, but trusting You to bring us through victoriously!
Give your Angels charge over us as we go to and fro this day. Touch those who are hurting, sick, lonely and lost with your finger of healing, love, restoration and deliverance. Whatever the need—You can fulfill. Wherever the hurt—You can heal.
Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and anything that will dishonor You, our God. Teach us to be humble in spirit, and help us to seek Your Will above our own way—to truly be light and salt in this dark and unsavory world! Purge, anoint, renew, strengthen and consecrate us for Greater works in You Name—the author and finisher of our faith!

“Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give to You.” (John 11:22)
“DO GOD”
“DO GOD”
Most have heard of the phrase, “You do you, and I’ll do me” as we strive to “do better” and “be better” in life.
This worldly mentality might be okay, If all you desire is “better” in life. BUT, if you want “God’s BEST” in life, then we must learn to “Do God”!
Doing it God’s way will glorify Him and it is the only way to get “His BEST” for your life. Shalom🙏🏽~ M. Ford

Some of us are sick, but when the doctors fail…YOU, Oh LORD, are still faithful! Some are hurting, but YOU, Oh LORD, are the soothing salve needed to ease the pain! Some are in turmoil, but YOU, Oh LORD, can bring peace in the midst of chaos! Some are experiencing all manner of life storms, but YOU, Oh LORD, can turn a catastrophe into a time of celebration!
Jehovah GOD, in times like these, You are our joy, peace, strength and song…a very present help in times of trouble!
Therefore, I humbly ask that You lead, guide, provide, direct and protect us each day. Move in our lives in a supernatural way!

Meet us at the point of our most intimate needs—heal our bodies; renew our minds; consecrate our hearts; and ANOINT us from the crown of our heads to the soul of our feet!
Allow the sweet fragrance of your presence to overwhelm those we encounter daily as we Drip Jesus everywhere our feet trod! Be glorified in all we say, think and do. We totally surrender our heart, mind, body and soul to You!
