Heavenly Father, I come praying for Your protection, direction, guidance and covering over your people today. Give each of us an extra portion of grace, mercy and STRENGTH as we enter this new day.
Give your Angels charge over us as we go—Not knowing what we may encounter, but trusting You to bring us through victoriously!
Touch those who are hurting, sick, lonely and lost with your finger of healing, love, restoration and deliverance. Whatever the need—You are able to fulfill. Wherever the hurt—You can heal.
Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and anything that will dishonor You. Consecrate us for Greater works in You Name!
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 and strengthen us this day as we walk boldly in the calling you have upon our lives!
It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus Christ I pray and praise always…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford
You can be free of chains on your wrists and still have shackles on your mind. ⛓️ Thanks be to JESUS CHRIST that we can be FREE from both!⛓️💥✝️🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36 NKJV)
Obedience to God’s Word is a must for Christians. Beware…Obeying the lusts of the flesh, yielding to the pride of life, and choosing a lifestyle of unholy habits will only lead to devastation and destruction.
Willfully being “hard-headed” leads to being “hard-Hearted”. Do What’s Right…Not What’s Easy. Obedience Breeds Blessings!🙏🏽~M. Ford
“For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Romans 1:25 NASB1995
He’s strength and security; laughter and fun. A prince to his daughter; a pal to his son. A great story teller, a mender of toys; who’s seldom dismayed by his family’s noise. He’s an everyday Santa, who brings home surprises; The man to consult when a problem arises. He’s an eager a worker as there will ever be; who wants all the best for his whole family. He’s a loving Instructor, who struggles to teach; His child to achieve all the goals one can reach. And he knows in his heart that it’s worth all the bother, when he hears his child say, “That man? He’s my Father!” (~Author Unknown)
Some people are always ready to Love you Back—But what a difference it would make in this world IF we learned to Love others FIRST. That’s called Loving like Christ.🙏🏽~M. Ford
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 NASB1995)
By nature Compromise is a temporary solution to a permanent situation. Someone else said it like this, “Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof”.
When the persistent storms of life hit hard, a compromised Christian lifestyle will shipwreck.
Remember…It’s never wrong to do the right thing. Don’t compromise your spiritual integrity to receive worldly treasures, applause or approval.
This leads to spiritual death and renders your Christian walk unfruitful and void of witness.☠️ Stick & Stay with JESUS!🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:1-2 NASB1995)
Happiness is dependent upon “happenings” and therefore is fleeting. On the other hand, JOY comes from knowing JESUS—The world didn’t give it to you and the world can’t take it away!🙌🏼👆🏽
Although in this world trials will test your faith, stretch your patience and attempt to rob you of your peace…Don’t sacrifice Holiness for Happiness.
In order to become Trees of Righteousness you must allow God’s perfect work to take root in you as you go through.💪🏽
God’s promises are always true—He will give you Beauty for Ashes, a Garment of Praise and the Oil of His JOY will once again flow freely in your heart!💜SHALOM🙏🏽~M. Ford
“To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The Oil of JOY for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called Trees of Righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” (Isaiah 61:3 NKJV)
