Don’t say “speak Lord” if you don’t want to hear what GOD has to say.
There is no one harder to hear than the one who doesn’t want to listen.
Open His Word and Pray to hear what GOD has to say to you today. Speak Lord, your servant is listening.🙏🏽~M. Ford
“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,” (James 1:19 NIV)
Day 7: Most High GOD—El Elyon! You alone are the supreme ruler of the universe! The heavens and earth declares your glory and all your creation bow down before you!
My prayer for Pastors on this 7th day of prayer is simply that when they opens their mouth to speak, teach and preach your Word that The Holy Spirit will take full control, and every utterance from their lips will REVERENCE YOU, Oh GOD, in all of your glory!
Thank you, Father, for the assigned opportunity to lift Pastors in prayer these seven days. Now LORD…SHOW US YOUR GLORY!
IT’S MANIFESTATION TIME! IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS I DECREE AND DECLARE IT TO BE SO! Hallelujah and Amen!🙌🏼🙌🏼🌈🙏🏽~M. Ford

Day 6: Faithful Father, I come lifting up Pastors to you in fervent prayer. I realize that this is indeed spiritual warfare and that Satan and his demons will try every trick, trap and temptation to hinder, stop and destroy the ministry that You have charged them with.
The enemy is crafty and subtle, but I pray that Pastors will be as wise as a serpent, as humble as a lamb, and as fierce as a lion when battling satanic forces that come against them in all forms in order to destroy their witness and hinder the work of the ministry.
Endow Pastors with spiritual wisdom, discernment and understanding daily. Blot out their transgressions, forgive their sins and restore that which the enemy has stolen. Encourage their heart when they get weak and weary from this life’s journey. Renew their mind, so that they meditate and ponder on those things that are holy and right in Your sight!
Consecrate their heart so that their desires will line up with your Will. Affirm them as the Priest of their own home—realizing the difference between that and their ordination as pastor of the church. Set their heart, mind, and desires on spiritual things—those things that will bring You glory and honor!
Purge their soul from those things of the world, lusts of the flesh and prides of this life that will hinder them from walking circumspectly before men, destroy their witness, and derail the work of the ministry.
Jehovah Sabaoth—LORD Of Hosts; Mighty Guardian…Rise up on behalf of Pastors and cause them to have the VICTORY in every spiritual battle! It’s in the mighty and matchless Name above every name, JESUS, I pray! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” (Jeremiah 3:15 ESV)
Day 5: Heavenly Father, I come praying for Pastors to be the anointed messengers of God that you have called them to be in order to lead your people into a closer walk with thee.
I pray that Pastors will walk in obedience to Your Word; their hearing will be fine-tuned into Heaven’s will; their heart consecrated to worship and serve God in spirit and truth; and that their lips will speak only the words given to them by The Holy Spirit when they stand before your people and open their mouth to preach the gospel.
Jehovah Tsidkenu—God of our Righteousness—Ignite a fire down in Pastors belly’s and give them divine wisdom, knowledge and holy boldness to proclaim the mystery of the good news of salvation through Christ Jesus!
Hear this humble prayer, Oh Lord, and manifest your answer even now! It’s in the mighty Name of Jesus I pray and praise always! Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,” (Ephesians 6:19 NIV)
DAY 4: Heavenly Father, I come praying today that Pastors will find delight in YOU being LORD of their life above all else—willing to put aside worldly pleasures and personal agendas in order to fulfill YOUR perfect Will in ALL things; No longer bound and driven by political correctness, social status, and worldly ways.
LORD GOD, Compel Pastors to SEEK YOUR FACE in prayer and fasting and to work hard at living circumspectly before the people, as they are called by YOU to be an example to others, so that the current and upcoming generations may see and also find their strength and hope in You, YAHWEH.
Father GOD, I pray for the restoration of failed marriages within the Church body, including pastoral leadership, and the reuniting of Christian families as a whole. Speak to hearts of husbands and wives, flooding them with the overwhelming desire to reclaim broken marriages so that they once again represent Christs love for the Church. Penetrate their hearts with selflessness, forgiveness and unconditional love for one another and give them humble spirits so that their lifestyles will line up with Your WORD and their prayers may be heard!
LORD, no matter how dead the situation may look, Increase their believing faith in your ability to intervene supernaturally and do the impossible, because YOU, ELOHIM, are able to breathe into their marriage new life, restore that which the locusts have eaten, and resurrect any dead thing!
Jehovah Tsaba—The Lord our Warrior—Rise up and wage war against the enemy on behalf of Christian Families! In Jesus’ mighty, matchless, and miraculous name I pray! Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
“They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.” “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ (Mark 10:4-6 NIV)
Father God, I come praying for a mighty move of The Holy Spirit in our churches today! Put fire and desire into the hearts of Pastors to be servant-leaders that are Holy Spirit fed and Holy Spirit led.
Give us Pastors that are most concerned about building up the body of Christ so that the people of God will be spiritually equipped for such a time as this.
Lord GOD, REVIVE our churches and set us on fire for the Lord; truly demonstrating the unconditional love of Christ and fulfilling The Great Commission! This prayer I humbly submit in the transforming Name of Jesus. Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16 NIV)
Day 2: Father God, I come Praying that all Pastors will boldly stand and preach the uncompromised gospel and saving grace of Jesus Christ. I Pray for their direction, protection, guidance and encouragement each day and that they will have the moral fortitude to withstand temptations and will truly exhibit and support God’s agenda—standing fast to His Word and watering the congregations with the undiluted Word Of God so that Christians will be equipped to STAND in such tumultuous times as these.
Father God, help Pastors to lead like CHRIST—not leaning to their own understanding, but SEEKING Your guidance and direction in every area of their personal life and every plan and decision made concerning the body of Christ. Give them wisdom to truly understand the dire need for prevailing prayer and to continuously call church congregations as a whole into fervent prayer and intercession until the spirit of prayer spreads like wildfire across homes and churches until they truly become “A House of Prayer”!
Father GOD, Anoint Pastors with the power of The Holy Ghost as they lead their congregations into an understanding of the times, through the power of the preached Word, so that sinners will be saved, Saints will be edified and God will be glorified!
This is my heart’s cry, Oh Lord! It’s in the mighty, matchless and saving Name of Jesus Christ I pray…Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
“Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: “Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done,” declares the Lord. “I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the Lord.” (Jeremiah 23:1-4 NIV)
DAY 1: Father GOD, I come praying for pastors—those You appointed to shepherd, guide and instruct the body of Christ.
Crown their heads with wisdom and knowledge from YOU on high pertaining to spiritual things so that the body of Christ might be fully equipped for works of service that honor You!
Prune away the foolishness of man from their mind and anoint them with the fire of the Holy Ghost so that they will have YOUR discernment and discipline in order to build up the body of Christ according to Your perfect Will.
Father GOD, settle their mind and heart on things that will honor and bring glory to YOU, and not on things of this world that have no eternal value. Keep them fixed and focused on Your WORD and Your WILL and not be distracted by the enemy, lusts of the flesh or the pride of life!
Rekindle a fire and desire in Pastors hearts to see the body of Christ become strong in the FAITH and in the KNOWLEDGE of Christ Jesus; becoming mature believers manifesting Christ’s spiritual completeness and exercising spiritual gifts in unity for the evangelizing of sinners, edification of the saints and the exaltation of Christ!
Oh LORD, My GOD…my desire is to see the full manifestation of Your Glory in every House of God as as we LIVE OUT the mission of the church—fulfilling the great commission of Christ!
I declare and decree a supernatural shifting in the church atmosphere as we band together on one accord and fervently plead the sanctifying blood of Jesus over every Pastor for the next 7 days!
Have Your way Yahweh! It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus I pray…Amen!🙏🏽🌈💪🏽🙏🏽~M. Ford
“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.” (Ephesians 4:11-14 NIV)
This is an incubation season for many. God is using this season in life to pull his people AWAY FROM many of the THINGS of this world that so easily distract us from truly doing HIS WILL. GOD IS WORKING to bring about internal CHANGE, to pull us CLOSER TO HIMSELF, and to line us up with HIS DIVINE PLAN.
GOD IS WORKING, so don’t rush The Master as HE WORKS to TRANSFORM the mundane into HIS MASTERPIECE.
GOD IS WORKING to bring HEALING to our LAND, which requires PRUNING of the people. The pruning PROCESS is PAINFUL, but necessary to produces BIGGER & BETTER FRUIT.
GOD IS STILL WORKING…know that your present PATH, and current PAIN has PURPOSE. LET GOD DO HIS PERFECT WORK IN YOU so that He can do HIS PERFECT WILL through you.
GOD IS STILL WORKING. Everything that STARTS must STOP. What BEGAN will END. SEASONS CHANGE…BUT GOD remains the SAME. TRUST HIS PROCESS and never forget that GOD…IS…STILL…WORKING!🙏🏽~M. Ford
