“AND SEEK MY FACE…”

ABBA Father, I pray that Christians all around the world will SEEK The FACE of GOD versus the hand of God. For when we SEEK Your FACE, You will move Your Hand in our Favor! 

Increase our believing faith in Your ability to intervene supernaturally and do the impossible in times of personal crisis and world chaos. 

I pray that You will pour out your Spirit in ways unimaginable, and those things that proved impossible for man will manifest into unexplainable realities through GOD!

Thank you, ABBA, for hearing and answering this humble prayer. It’s in the powerful name of JESUS I pray and praise always! Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford 

“Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me! You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.” (Psalm‬ ‭27‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

DAY 7: 21 Days PRAYER & FASTING

Jehovah Tsaba—The Lord my Warrior! I pray that you endow the saints with courage and perseverance to rise up and wage war against the enemy on our knees! Help your children to be persistent in prayer, unwavering in your word, and ever ready to fight the good fight of Faith! 

I pray that Pastors will have wisdom and discernment to call their congregations to Prayer intercession and lead them to an understanding of the times. Raise up a remnant of true believers that will be fearless and faithful; casting off every vain imagination, pride of life, unholy habits, and wicked ways until the day of your return.

Anoint us with power, authority and with holy boldness to stand steadfast and unwavering in our faith in perilous times such as these; No longer bound and defeated by political correctness, social status, and worldly ways!

Raise up Warriors willing to persevere in fasting and prayer until we reclaim our families, children, communities, nation and world for Christ! Hear my humble cry, Oh God, and heal our Land! It’s in Jesus’ mighty and matchless name I pray and praise always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford 

“And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.  And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night?“ (Luke 18:1-8); (Ephesians 4:11-13; Isaiah 56:1-7; Jeremiah 23:1-4).

“IF MY PEOPLE…WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES…AND PRAY…”

Jehovah Roi—all seeing GOD! You sit high in supreme authority, but you look low with compassion for your people. Nothing escapes your holy vision!

I come praying and interceding on behalf of all those who are in authority so that we might lead quiet and peaceful lives in Godliness and Holiness. I pray for those  under satanic attack—those experiencing emotional, mental and spiritual warfare. I pray for the breaking of strongholds that bind so many of your people and rob them of the abundant life you’ve preordained. 

Sovereign GOD, Manifest breaking of strongholds in the House of Faith! Bring forth a GREAT SHAKING and AWAKENING that will roll across this land like wildfire—SETTING FREE CAPTIVES and SETTING HEARTS ON FIRE FOR CHRIST! 

It’s In the strong, mighty and matchless Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” ( II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Heavenly Father, I humbly pray for forgiveness of our sins and a cleansing from all unrighteousness. For we live in a society that pleasures in the flesh and forgoes the things of the spirit. And we contend with a world that clamors after and exalts wrong while crucifying the people of GOD who stand for righteousness and practice holiness.

Therefore, I pray against the moral and spiritual erosion that has permeated not only our nation, but our churches, our homes and the world. Turn stoney hearts filled with hate, malice, envy, and unforgiveness into hearts of flesh filled and overflowing with your love, joy and peace that surpasses all understanding! 

LORD GOD, Create in us clean hearts that are sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. ENDOW Believers with Fervency, Passion and Commitment to LIVE HOLY before a crooked and perverse generation!

As we humble ourselves under your sovereign grace, give us a sincere hunger for Your Word and a thirst that can only be quenched by more of You!

It’s in the strong, mighty, and matchless Name of Jesus I pray. Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

“And I said: “O my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens.” (Ezra‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

DAY 2: 21 Day Daniel FAST & PRAYER

Father GOD, as we launch out into a brand new day, we ask that you go before us and prepare the way. Keep us safe from seen and unseen dangers. Dispatch your Angels to protect us from every hurt and harm. Give us wisdom, knowledge, discernment and understanding to accomplish every good work for your glory and honor. Give us clarity of mind, strength in our bodies, joy in our hearts, and an extra portion of your grace and mercy. Allow your peace that pass all understanding to freely flow in the lives of those who SEEK hard after you and your Will!

In times like these we need an anchor—You, Oh LORD, are that Anchor! For we know that our Hope and Help comes from You alone—our Sovereign Savior, Prince Of Peace, Strong Tower, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God! Thank You for loving us unconditionally. Hear this humble prayer and show us Your glory!

It’s in the saving Name of Jesus I pray and praise always. Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

DAY 1: 21 Days Prayer & Fasting 

Jehovah Tsidkenu—God of our Righteousness! Guard our minds so that we remain focused on the truth of your word when the world tries to draw us away from it.

Clarify our thoughts when the enemy raises up confusion and purify our hearts so that we are positioned to hear your voice more clearly.

As we are seeking and pursuing more of you with Intentional Focus, Oh God, let this be a season of renewal, repentance, realignment, awakening, and transformation! 

LORD GOD, SPEAK as we SEEK more of you! It’s in the wonder-working Name of JESUS CHRIST I pray and will praise always…Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

http://www.duty2delightministries.com

Heavenly Father, as we begin this brand new day, Go before us, be with us, and work through us to accomplish every good work for your glory!

Help us to be lights that shine bright for you as we walk by Faith and not by sight; casting off every form of unrighteousness and yielding the Fruit of The Spirit as a witness to the world that we serve a living Savior!

We submit and surrender our total being, Mind-Body-Soul-Spirit, to your transforming grace. You are the Potter and we are the clay!

Help us, Oh Lord, to trust you and obey as we walk in holiness day-by-day! It’s in the sovereign Name of Jesus I pray and praise always…Amen. 🙏🏽~M. Ford
