”Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.“ (Isaiah 43:19 AMP)
GOD’S LOVE REACHES
What if God gave up on us as quickly as we give up on one another?
Instead of judging…PRAY people through life seasons.🙇🏽♀️
Instead of talking about it…PRAY about it even that much more.🙇🏾♂️
PRAYER sparks unconditional Love into action.💖 Even when operating in disobedience outside of God‘s Will His LOVE still reaches his own and draws them back to Himself.♥️
When we truly BELONG TO THE LORD, He Himself promised never to leave or forsake us.💯
Just remember…the battle is not yours, but it’s The LORDS!☝🏾Hallelujah and Amen!!🌈🙏🏽~M. Ford

THE SEEKERS—Part 3
Jehovah Tsidkenu—God of our Righteousness! Ignite a Spirit of Prayer within the body of Believers until every Church once again becomes A HOUSE OF PRAYER!

Thank you, Abba, for Hearing and Answering this humble prayer! It’s in the strong and mighty name of Jesus I pray and praise you always…Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

THE SEEKERS—Part 2
Jehovah GOD, I pray for a “spirit of prayer” to spread like wildfire across our land and country—saturating our homes, schools, churches, government and country with fire and desire to SEEK YOUR FACE in these perilous times!
Draw us closer to Your Heart until the things that break your heart will break out heart and cause our desires to aligned with Yours!
Raise up a remnant of sold-out Believers that are filled with The Holy Ghost, walking in their Calling and committed to doing Kingdom work!
Thank you, ABBA, for hearing and answering this humble prayer…In JESUS’ NAME! AMEN 🙏🏽~M. Ford

THE SEEKERS
Heavenly Father, As we come seeking your face on this day, we trust you to move your hand in our favor.
Forgive us of every sin, transgression and iniquity that has caused us to compromise our faith and walk against your perfect Will.
Search our hearts and cast out every wicked way, every evil thought and every dastardly deed even before it is done!
Wash us with the precious blood of Christ and cleanse us from the inside out. Fill us with your precious Holy Spirit and set our souls on blazing fire with a fervent love and desire to please you, Our God!
Manifest in us a passionate desire for more of your presence and power to do the work of the ministry in order to build up Your kingdom here on earth—all for Your Glory!
It’s in the redeeming Name of Jesus Christ I Pray and forever Praise…AMEN!🙏🏽~M. Ford

Stay positive and faithful to your Calling, then Trust God to do the rest—THIS IS ONLY A TEST!🙏🏽🌈~M. Ford

IS IT TIME YET!
Waiting on God is a spiritual discipline that believers must learn early on in their Christian walk.
Impatience is an indication of a lack of Faith. Know that GOD is never early and never late.
We must Learn to TRUST God’s timing because “The Father Knows Best”.🙏🏽~M. Ford
“For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who WAITS for Him.” (Isaiah 64:4 NKJV)
LOOK IN THE BOOK!
Don’t allow what you “Think is right” to lead you down the wrong path of action. Just because it speaks to “your pain” and “sounds good” doesn’t mean it’s from GOD.
Look in The Book—What Does God’s WORD Say? Hear and Obey.🙏🏽~M. Ford
“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12 NKJV
STEPPING STONES
The enemy meant what happened to you to become a stumbling block, BUT GOD turned it into a Stepping Stone.
MORAL: Don’t let your Past define your Future.🙏🏽~M. Ford
“When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble.” (Proverbs 4:12 NKJV)
