Heavenly Father, as our children have begun a new school year, we know the enemy has declared war against them and all manner of evil schemes and traps have been set and launched against them by the evil one—everything from drugs to premature sexual exploitation to suicidal behavior, and the list goes on! All attempting to steal their innocence, distort their minds and rob them of purity at an early age!
Oh LORD, we come standing in the gap…Pleading the Blood of JESUS and decreeing and declaring that the enemy will NOT prevail and VICTORY IS OURS!
For You, Oh LORD, have given us authority to bind every demonic spirit that has been loosed to torment, trick, trap and destroy these precious souls, and therefore we pray a hedge of God’s protection all around them, the covering of Jesus’ blood all over them and we command the demonic forces back to the pits of hell, IN JESUS’ MIGHTY and MATCHLESS NAME! Hallelujah and Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” (Luke 10:19 ESV)
God is calling us deeper into HIS Presence. There are some things He wants to say to each of HIS children. Does HE have your attention? Are you willing to be still and draw close to HIM in the Word and Prayer? He’s calling your name in the stillness of the night and in the early morning light. Can you hear HIM? Are You Listening? Are your ears ringing with a Word from the LORD? Let your response be, “Speak LORD, your servant is listening and I’m Ready to Obey.” Listen—Trust—Obey…Jesus will lead you in the right way!🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Then the Lord came and stood and called as at the previous times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.” The Lord said to Samuel, “Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will ring.” (1 Samuel 3:10-11 AMP)
In this present darkness🌑, Tragedy seems to be commonplace and more difficult days may loom ahead.⚡️🌧
Nevertheless, Child of The Most High God, stop worrying and start praying🙇🏽♀️🙇🏾♂️!
El Shaddai, God Almighty, is still on His throne🤴🏽working wonders! He is ready and able to perform miracles in your life!🌈
God’s Word reminds us that our Most High God, El Elyon, is still in control! He sits high and He looks low…nothing escapes His Holy vision—El Roi!👁
Jehovah Jirah, your provider is with you and has positioned you for such a time as this! So, no matter what the situation or circumstance…remember, Worry Won’t Work, But Prayer Will!🙏🏽~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 NKJV)
Society teaches us to accept the things that GOD has rejected. We embrace that which is morally wrong, spiritually impure, and forbidden by GOD simply because it’s pleasing to the eye, appealing to the flesh or approved by the culture of the world. But God does not see things the way we see them. What appears to be beautiful on the outside could be a sepulcher on the inside to GOD. Looks can be deceiving, but not to God—Nothing escapes His holy vision!
Therefore, strive for the kind of BEAUTY that gets GOD’S attention. The kind that starts from the INSIDE and works its way out! NOW…I SEE YOU!🙏🏽~M. FORD
“But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
Heavenly Father, endow us as your ambassadors with the love and grace needed to edify, comfort and care for those in need the most. So many people are hurting, feeling hopeless and simply need someone to show that they care.
Help us to realize that our kind words and random acts of kindness may be the only Light Of HOPE someone sees in their time of distress and disillusionment.
Give us a sincere desire to be that lifeline to those around us drowning in a sea of darkness and despair.
Help us be the light and salt that you’ve called us to be in this dark and unsavory world—never forgetting or taking for granted that the treasure we have within these earthen vessels is to be shared with those we encounter daily.
Father GOD, Open our eyes to see an opportunity to ENCOURAGE someone today! In Jesus’ name I pray…Amen🙏🏽💜~M. Ford
“Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.” (I Thessalonians 5:11)
Does the ground you’re standing on seem like shifting sand? Then perhaps you’re standing in the wrong place. Try STANDING ON GOD’S PROMISES instead.
Don’t focus on the sand, trust God’s plan—Then stand back and WATCH GOD WORK WONDERS in YOUR LIFE! When the battle belongs to THE LORD, VICTORY IS INEVITABLY!☝🏾🌈💪🏽🙏🏽~M. Ford
“For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)
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, sight or 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 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 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)
🎼🎹🎤Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care; And bids me at my Father’s throne, Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter’s snare, By thy return, Sweet hour of prayer!”
Abba Father, When the Storms of Life are Raging…and the Winds of Adversity are Blowing fierce…I’m so grateful that We can still THANK YOU, our sweet Savior, IN ALL Things!☝🏾🙌🏼
Recognizing that Thankfulness is not about what’s in our Hands, but rather it’s about what’s in our Heart!❤️ My Heart is overflowing with THANKFULNESS!!
Have Thine own way today as we Fast & Pray. Show us YOUR Glory, LORD! It’s in the mighty Name of Jesus I pray. Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort…”. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV)
Jehovah Shalom…GOD of our Peace! So many of your children are burdened, heavy laden, torn, cast down and burned out by the swift vicissitudes of life.
Nevertheless, we are so grateful that Your plans for us promise to give comfort to the comfortless, joy to the sorrowful, REST to the weary, and your PEACE that pass all understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Now LORD, help us to find REST for our souls, minds and bodies that only You can give…EVEN NOW, Oh LORD, WE THANK YOU!🙌🏼☝🏾🌈
It’s in the strong and mighty Name of Jesus I humbly pray. Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28 NIV)
