“HEALED”

Father GOD, We decree and declare deliverance for your people from all things that devastate, destroy and render us physically, mentally and spiritually ineffective for our Kingdom calling!

I pray for the healing/deliverance of your people from all addictive behaviors—smoking, alcohol, drugs, obesity, anorexia, pornography, foul language and all other perverse and unholy habits that plague, deteriorate and destroy these physical temples and prohibit a closer walk with you!

We decree and declare that our portion will be VICTORY over every defeatist thought, wellness & wholeness of body and mind, and abundant life in Christ Jesus!

Hear our cry this day…In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus I pray and praise forever! Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”  (James‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬ ‭NKJV)

“SAFE IN HIS ARMS”

“He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions, And under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and a wall. A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But danger will not come near you. ¶For He will command His angels in regard to you, To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. ¶“Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him; I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never]. “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. “With a long life I will satisfy him And I will let him see My salvation.”‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭4‬, ‭7‬, ‭11‬, ‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

“Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.” (‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭14‬, ‭23‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬)

“FORTIFIED FAITH”

Heavenly Father, Increase our believing faith in your ability to intervene supernaturally and do the impossible, even in this time of world crisis. I pray that as we SEEK YOUR FACE, your response will be to pour out your spirit in ways unimaginable! Empower us with Holy Ghost tenacity to rise up and wage war continuously against the enemy through fervent PRAYER, the unshakable WORD, and uninhibited PRAISE—No longer bound and defeated by political correctness, social status, and worldly ways! Fortify us mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually as we persevere in prayer and fasting until we reclaim our families, marriages, children, schools, communities, nation and world for Christ! Hear this humble cry, Oh Lord! It’s In Jesus’ mighty, matchless and miraculous name I pray! Amen 🙏🏽 ~M. Ford

How do you defeat the giants that come against you in life?

Not by power, nor by might…But by My SPIRIT says The LORD!

“HUSHED”

When JESUS is onboard, you don’t have to worry about the storms in your life because the winds and the waves obey His Will.

When The LORD says “PEACE”, there will be Peace. Shalom!☝🏾💪🏽🙏🏽~M. Ford

“And He got up and [sternly] rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still (muzzled)!” And the wind died down [as if it had grown weary] and there was [at once] a great calm [a perfect peacefulness].” (Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭39‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

“EXALTED!”

Oh Lord, my God… How excellent is your NAME! In all the earth there is none like you!

You reign supreme and your ways are right and good! You sit high upon your heavenly throne, but you look low with abundant love and compassion for your earthly children—nothing escapes your holy vision! 

I magnify You, Oh Lord, and your praise shall continually be in my mouth! I will bless you with the fruit of my lips for all of my days because you are worthy to be PRAISED!

I have seen your handiworks and all creation crown you with glory and honor—You indeed are EXALTED!

I have feasted on Your Word and I have tasted of Your loving kindness and found that You, oh Lord, are indeed GOOD—Sweeter than honey from the honeycomb!

Your mercies are new to me every morning! Your faithfulness is never-ending! Your love for me is intoxicating!

Oh, magnify the Lord with me all who LOVE and ADORE HIM! Let us exalt HIS NAME together forever! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah and Amen!🙌🏼☝🏾🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Worldly Ways Won’t Work”

If you want to have spiritual insight…you can’t keep looking through worldly eyes.

If you want to think godly thoughts…then put on the mind of Christ. 

If you want to hear God’s voice…then turn off the noise and listen.

If you want to feel God’s presence…then steal away to a quiet place and invite Him to meet you there in Prayer.

If you truly want to live for Christ…then die to self daily. 

Worldly Ways Won’t Work…If you want to Walk with the Master.🙏🏽~M. Ford 

“But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”  (1 Peter 1:15-16)
