“Lord, Change My Mind!”

“LORD, CHANGE MY MIND!”
If you let GOD do HIS work IN you, then He will be able to do HIS work THROUGH you! ~M. Ford

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2)

“I’m Determined”

Heavenly Father, I come interceding in prayer on behalf of all saints today…those who are called by Your name—Christians. Father, pour out your spirit on your children who are seeking you! Fill our hearts with overflowing love for You, love for one another, and for those we encounter daily. Give us the heart of a Lion so that we will have Holy boldness to stand for things that are right in a world that has chosen to fall for things that are wrong. Give us a spirit of praise and worship like David—recognizing and responding to Your character, Creation and faithfulness at all times and in all situations! Give us a quiet peace deep within that comes with the confidence in knowing that You, Oh Lord, are GREATER than anything and ABOVE all things! Father, gift us with spiritual 20/20 vision—living in the natural realm, but seeing things in the supernatural realm! Father, build us up in our most holy faith so that we won’t falter and fail when trials and troubles come our way, but rather we will mount up on wings like an eagle and soar…ready to give the TESTIMONY of the TEST that we’ve endured and prevailed! Help us to see these situations and circumstances as you see them Father—as only a temporary testing of our faith divinely designed to strengthen us for this race! Father, heal those who are sick and in need of a healing touch from The MASTER physician. Grant peace to those who are emotionally distraught, confused and living in tumultuous situations and devastation. Mend broken and shattered relationships between husbands and wives, children and parents, family and friends! Father, Restore to us those things that have been taken captive and held hostage by the enemy! Give us an attitude of gratitude and a spirit Of Praise for all of your abundant blessings! Father, help us to seek You FIRST in every area of our lives—not putting our trust in things of this world, BUT give us the wisdom to put all of our faith and trust in YOU— Our Sovereign Savior, Prince of Peace, Bread of Heaven, Alpha and Omega, The Great I AM! You are Lord of all and over all…hear the hearts cry of Your people and heal the land! It’s in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus The Christ I pray…Amen.🙏🏽

“Revive Us Again!”

Heavenly Father, I pray that as we pray today for Spiritual Revival in our families, homes, schools, communities, churches, country and land—that you, oh Lord, would increase our believing faith in your ability to intervene supernaturally and do the impossible, even in this time of world crisis. Father, I pray that as we deny ourselves the fleshly appetites for food to SEEK YOUR FACE in prayer and fasting today, in response You will pour out your spirit in ways unimaginable! Father God, raise up an army of true Prayer Warriors that will steadfastly wage war against the enemy on their knees! No longer bound and defeated by political correctness, social status, and worldly ways, but Warriors willing to persevere in fasting and prayer until we reclaim our families, marriages, children, schools, communities, nation and world for Christ! Hear our one accord prayers today, Oh Lord, and Heal Our Land! In Jesus’ mighty, matchless and miraculous name I pray! Amen (2Chronicles 7:14)

“Faith Trumps Fear”

The enemy wants to confuse and distract us from pursuing our God-ordained purpose. Satan wants you to Panic and not Pray! When we magnify our Fears instead of exercising our Faith and trusting God, we delay the manifestation of our purpose and blessings! Walk in Faith and not Fear and Watch God unfold HIS plans for your life! ~ M. Ford

“For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the LORD, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 AMP)

“A Loving Touch”

Heavenly Father, we need your touch this day. Touch our minds so that we think on things that are good and right in your sight. Touch our hearts so that we are in perfect peace no matter the situation. Touch our tongues so that we speak of your greatness, love, forgiveness, omnipotence and sovereignty! Touch our eyes so that we see Your glory shining through the gloomy clouds of darkness in our lives!

Father, send your healing and restore those hurting, sick and emotionally distraught is my prayer. Comfort those in a season of loss—no matter what that loss may be that’s causing your children pain and suffering. Comfort and cover each of us on today with an extra portion of your grace and mercy! Help us weather every storm of life in a manner that reflects your goodness and glory! Thank you, Father for loving us unconditionally! We love you Father with our whole hearts! Help us to REJOICE in your great unconditional love for us! It’s in the all-sufficient name of Jesus I pray…Amen ❤️🙏🏽

“Seeking God First”

Father, I pray that Christians all around the world will seek the face of God versus the hand of God. Help us to understand that if we seek after things we can easily miss you, Oh God, but if we seek after You the things will come!

Father, I pray that Christians will make God’s approval their chief concern versus His blessings; placing their attention, affection and desires on pleasing God alone. For You, Oh Lord, are the solution to every problem, the cure for any illness, the comforter to all broken-hearted and the peace that passes all understanding! Thank you, Father, for being loving, merciful and never failing! It’s in the strong and mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen🙏🏽

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

(Matthew 6:33 NIV)

“Earth & Heaven”

There is Much Power in Being on One Accord and having Unity among the Saints!🙌🏼☝🏾🙏🏽❤️

“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:18-20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Harvest Time!”

“HARVEST TIME”

Don’t expect a bountiful harvest if you have no seed in the ground. WORK—WORSHIP—WAIT! God will send Showers of Blessings that you won’t have room to receive! ~M. Ford

“But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” (II Corinthians 9:6)
