“OH, MAGNIFY HIM!”

“OH, MAGNIFY HIM!”

Oh, what joy that came to me, When my Savior set me free!

Oh, what joy that overwhelms me, When I feel His loving arms around me!

Oh, what joy that I anticipate, When I’ll walk through those pearly gates!

Oh, what joy that floods my soul, Knowing His face I shall behold! ~M. Ford

“Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.” (Psalms 34:3)

“Never Alone”

“NEVER ALONE”

God never said that life’s road would be easy; But He did promise that you would never have to walk it alone. God’s Grace suits every case and He specializes in the impossible! You are about to “come to” your “breakthrough”, so Stay Positive and Keep the Faith! ~M Ford

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalms 23:4)

“WAR CRY!”

“WAR CRY!”

Heavenly Father, I pray that you will raise up a remnant of believers that have not bowed their knee to the Baal’s of this modern world, and are willing to wage war on their knees in order to combat spiritual wickedness and demonic oppression of this present darkness! I pray that you will give Pastor’s wisdom and understanding as they call their congregations to prayer and lead them to a spiritual understanding and revelation of the times. I pray that all true believers will seek hard after the truth of your Word so that they might be spiritually mature, equipped, rooted and grounded in the Word and not blown away by every wind of doctrine; and be able to withstand the wiles (tricks, traps, temptations) of the devil in this evil day. I pray that you will raise up mighty prayer warriors, preachers, pastors, prophets and evangelists who are truly sold-out for Christ; becoming beacons of light in a dark and dying world!

Father, give your children an unrest in our spirits that will drive us to one accord fervent prevailing prayer over the decaying moral condition of our society, local communities, nation and our world consumed by human cunning and craftiness and deceitful schemes brought on by this present darkness. Lord, send a fresh wind of steadfast faith and a fire of desire for more of YOU that will ignite the hearts of your people across the country and world! Hear our cry, Oh Lord, and Heal Our Land! It’s in Jesus’ mighty and matchless name I pray and praise you forever! Amen🙏🏽

(Ephesians 4:11-14)

“The Peacemaker”

THE PEACEMAKER

My Heavenly Father, I pray for your loving touch upon the hearts of those who are hurting and filled with sorrow and despair on today. Soothe their pain, heal their heart ache. No matter the reason for the pain and hurt, You Father, are the remedy. When they awaken in the morning place a smile in their spirit that will overshadow the sorrow and pain in their heart. And when they lay down at night, give them a peaceful sweet sleep, and bring them your joy with the morning light!

No matter the condition, situation or circumstance… Father, help each of your children to stay positive and keep the faith, even in the midst of trying times like these. Father, You alone know all about it, and you alone have the grace that suits every case! Thank you, Father, for being faithful! It’s in the saving name of Jesus I pray and praise you always…Amen.🙏🏽

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

“Our War Cry!”

OUR WAR CRY!

Father God, We come humbly asking that You forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Give us a clean heart so that we might be used in great ways for your glory!

Father, we prostrate ourselves in prayer on this day, interceding for our families, children, marriages, churches, communities, government, nation and world. We humbly ask that You, oh Lord, will move in miraculous ways! Father, move like a mighty rushing wind across our land for our healing, restoration, and deliverance! Only you Father, can break the shackles that bind us and bring about a supernatural deliverance and release from systemic racism, global pandemics, moral decay of society, and persecution of your Church.

Father, you alone are the righteous judge—faithful, long-suffering, full of grace, loving and merciful! Hear our prayers and send overflow in areas of lack and need; and grace us with mental and emotional wellness, freedom from depression, oppression, suppression, obsession and possession!

We look to YOU Father, and YOU ALONE in such a time as this! For You are almighty God, our strength and song, high tower and strong deliverer! Bust us out of complacency and set the captives FREE! Set our hearts and souls on fire and give us a thirst that only You can quench! Hear our cry, oh Lord, and heal our Land! Hallelujah and Amen! 🙏🏽

“A Fixed Fight”

A FIXED FIGHT

Saints, we can’t win spiritual battles using carnal weapons. ~M Ford

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ”. (II Corinthians‬ ‭10:4-5‬)

CONTENTMENT

CONTENTMENT

When you take your focus off things that are “not happening”, and place it on The One who “makes things happen”, you will find Contentment a much easier state to obtain. ~M. Ford

“Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.” (Philippians 4:11)

“HEAL OUR LAND!”

“HEAL OUR LAND”

Heavenly Father, I come praying today for Your children…those who are called by Your name. Help us to long for an intimate relationship with You—no longer desiring milk, but the meat of Your word to guide our lives, especially in times like these.

Father, consecrate our hearts so that we grieve over the sins of mankind and over our own personal sins, then confess and repent—turning away from those things that break Your heart and turning to Your Word and Prayer for the strength we need to truly Live Holy day by day.

Father, I Pray for spiritual accountability and freshness to fall upon each of us individually and collectively as one global body of believers to effectively serve in building up your kingdom here on earth—using our spiritual gifts and talents for ministry, mission and witnessing to the unchurched and unsaved in our homes, communities and beyond.

Father, I Pray for spirit-fed, spirit-lead and anointed pastors, teachers, preachers, leaders, prayer warriors and all true Christ followers to rise up and with holy boldness proclaim Your sovereignty, omnipotence, faithfulness, forgiveness, righteousness, mercy, grace and Love!

Father, I Pray for SPIRITUAL REVIVAL to sweep across this Land like a mighty rushing wind—turning the stony unrepentant hearts of the people back into submitted, surrendered hearts of flesh that truly seek to serve and live for You above all else! Hear my humble prayer on this day as we Fast and Pray, Oh Lord…Heal Our Land! In the strong and mighty Name of JESUS…Amen.🙏🏽

#2Chronicles7:14

“ARE YOU READY?”

ARE YOU READY?

God’s Word is unfolding before our very eyes—these times are the end times according to the many signs. I’ve said it before and I say it again now—THIS INCUBATION PERIOD of pandemic has PURPOSE. COVID, WEST NILE, HIV, AIDS—pandemic diseases unleashed in alarming rates, while various other “natural” disasters consistently climb.

Corruption and debauchery throughout out land and country—everyday the boundaries of sin are being pushed further and further. People are being brainwashed into accepting WRONG as RIGHT by the cultural pressure of society and subliminal messages of a crocked and perverse generation, causing the unaware to slip further and further into the abyss of sin and immorality.

But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times of great stress and trouble will come; difficult days that will be hard to bear. People will be lovers of themselves (self-focused/selfish), lovers of money (greed), boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control (immoral), brutal, haters of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of sensual pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of (outward appearance) godliness but denying its power (religion without relationship)—for their conduct (behavior) nullifies their faith.

Have nothing to do with such people and stay far away from them! They are the kind of people who worm their way into our homes and gain control over the gullible, morally weak, and spiritually immature, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires and impulses, always learning (listening to anybody who will teach them) but never able to come to a knowledge of THE TRUTH.

As for true Christians, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of (the truth of God’s Word), because you know those from whom you learned it (Truth Teachers), and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:1-9, 14-15, paraphrased).

Therefore, While the world 🌎 is on pause—PRAY!🙇🏾‍♂️🙇🏽‍♀️ God’s Word is right and true…Jesus will return in the blink of an eye—Are You Watching? Will You be READY? Now is the time to…Reflect, Re-evaluate and Repent. (2 Chronicles 7:14). Hallelujah and Amen! ~M. Ford
