“HAPPY DAYS AGAIN”

Heavenly Father, as we continue in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we Thank You for your new mercies, abundant love, and breath in our body! 

For many we know that holidays are not happy days; therefore, deliver those who are suffering from sickness, disease, stress, anxiety, oppression, depression, helplessness, hopelessness, fear and despair. Strengthen them even in their weakest hour; growing your love, joy, and peace in their hearts until it overflows!

Allow the purifying power of your Holy Spirit to heal, deliver and cleanse them; casting out every spirit that’s not of You so that they will no longer be hindered and bound—yielding their total being—Mind, Body, Soul, and Spirit to your transforming power!

Have Your way this day, Yahweh! In Jesus‘ mighty and matchless name I pray…Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭35‬, ‭37‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

“A LIVING TESTIMONY”

Do you have a Testimony? When you give testimony in a court of law, hearsay is not admissible. You cannot testify to what someone else has seen, heard, felt or experienced. Only what you know to be true through personal knowledge, personal sight, or personal involvement is considered to be credible testimony as a witness. 

So, I ask again—do you have a Testimony? Not the kind you give in a court room on a witness stand, but the kind that’s been engraved on your heart by the personal encounters you’ve had with The Master first hand. 

Life will surely bring about bumps, bruises and scars; but these are just Testimonies in The Making—evidence that you have endured The Test—now Watch GOD do the Rest! 

Your life doesn’t have to look all perfectly gift-wrapped and nice—Just be a credible witness for Jesus Christ! 

Stand your ground. 

Stay Positive. 

Keep the Faith. 

We are called OUT of darkness INTO the marvelous Light and SET APART to be a Living Testimony. Not trying to persuade, prod or pressure anyone into our point of view, but simply telling the FACTS of what WE KNOW To Be TRUE and what we KNOW our GOD CAN DO! 

So, just be a Living Testament to our God’s grace as you run this Christian Race. March on Christian Soldier! March Onward and Upward! March ON!🙏🏽~M. Ford

“And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death.” (Revelation‬ ‭12:11‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

As the holidays are now upon us and a new year is fast approaching, many may feel the pressure to keep pressing forward even when exhausted—because there is just too much to get done and too little time to do it! We tell ourselves that we must finish the year strong—keep it moving, check off one more thing on that “to do list”, show up for just one more event! 

With so much stress and pressure, this time of year can bring joy to some and pain to others, depending on individual circumstances. But, if we take our cue from nature, it reminds us that this “season” is one of slowing down, personal reflection, and allowing time to simply PAUSE, BREATHE, and REST!

However, somewhere down the line we have come to think that REST is a “REWARD” only for those who complete everything there is to do. We will proudly say “I’ll rest when it’s finished“, no matter what our physical and mental state may be. 

BUT…REST is NOT a REWARD! 

GOD himself made it a part of our RESTORATION and RENEWAL PROCESS. It’s a vital part of RESTORING and SUSTAINING ourselves—mentally, spiritually and physically.

REST allows us to reconnect with what really matters most—our relationship with ABBA, our relationship with Others, and to be refreshed and refueled so that we can do even greater works as we walk in our God-ordained PURPOSE. Selah!🙏🏽~M. Ford

SO YOU SAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN?

Well…Christianity is not something you put on and take off at your convenience.

Nor is it like wearing designer clothes—recognition & prestige.

It Is about Loving God, Loving Others, and Living by God’s Word. Jesus is the key that unlocks the true treasures of life. 🌈💖🙏🏽~M. Ford 

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

“THE LORD IS…”

ABBA Father, because you are my shepherd I have everything I need. You feed me, lead me, guide me, provide for me, and you have not withheld any good thing from me because you are a good, good Father!

You, Oh God, are the lifter of my head when my countenance is low. You restore my soul, and lead me in the path of righteousness for your names sake.

Even though evil may encamp all around me, your rod, and your staff are always there to protect, comfort, and guide me because you are The Good Shepherd!

Even when some seek to do me harm, You, Oh GOD, prepare a table of blessings before me and you make my enemies my footstool.

You and you alone, are the righteous judge! You have anointed me for your purpose and equipped me for every good work… My cup runs over because of your favor!

Thank you, ABBA, for your goodness and your mercy, and your everlasting love that follow me all the days of my life! For all of these things I give YOU PRAISE…Hallelujah and Amen! 🙏🏽 ~M. Ford

“LIVING WATERS”

Sovereign GOD, pour out your spirit like rivers of living water on us today! Give us favor as we seek your face. Fill our hearts with overflowing love for You, love for one another, and love for those we encounter. Create in us a clean heart and renew in us a right spirit. Give us the heart of a Lion so that we walk in Holy boldness—standing firm for things that are right in a world that has chosen to embrace things that are wrong. Give us the wisdom of Solomon so that we might have understanding and discernment in all things. Give us a spirit of praise and worship like David—recognizing WHO You are and responding to Your character, creation and faithfulness at all times and in all situations! Gift us with spiritual 20/20 vision like Elisha—living in the natural realm, but seeing things in the supernatural realm! Like Daniel in the lions den give us a quiet peace deep within that comes with the confidence in knowing that You, Oh LORD, are GREATER than anything, ABOVE all things, and IN CONTROL of everything!  

Jehovah GOD, build us up in our most holy faith like Esther, far such a time as this, so that we won’t falter or fail when trials and troubles come our way, but rather we will mount up on wings like an eagle and soar into Victory! Strengthen us, Oh LORD, as we prevail in fervent prayer—being ever-ready to give the TESTIMONY of the TEST that we’ve endured and overcome by The Blood🩸 of the Lamb and by the Word of our testimony!☝🏾🙌🏼 It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus I pray and praise You alway, Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John‬ ‭7‬:‭38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

“And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him.” (Genesis‬ ‭32‬:‭24‬, ‭26‬, ‭29‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

“STAY POSITIVE & KEEP THE FAITH”

Heavenly Father, touch the hearts of those who are hurting with your finger of love; and replace their sorrow and despair with peace on today and hope for tomorrow.

Soothe their pain, heal their heart ache. No matter the reason for the pain and hurt, You Father, are the remedy.

When they awaken place a smile in their spirit that will overshadow the sorrow and pain in their heart.

And when they lay down at night, give them a peaceful sweet sleep, and bring them your joy with the morning light!

No matter the condition, situation or circumstance, Father, You alone know all about it; and you alone have the grace that suits every case!

Father, help each of your children to stay positive and keep the faith, even in the midst of trying times like these. Thank you, Father for being faithful…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God”. (Philippians 4:6-7)
