When the storms of Life are raging, make sure Jesus is the Captain of Your Soul. He alone can say, “Peace Be Still!” and the winds and rain must obey!

When Jesus speaks the noise in your life must be silent. Then let the LORD lead you safely to that peaceful shore. FAITH BELIEVES WHEN THE EYES CAN NOT SEE.🙏🏽~M. Ford

Father God, I come praying for the unchurched and the unsaved. Oh Lord, send REVIVAL throughout this land with seasons and extended seasons of people turning their lives over to Christ and the unchurched flocking back to the house of prayer in droves!

Release a spirit of prayer, praise and worship throughout every church open in your Name! Raise up a remnant of believers who are truly Christ-Seekers—those desiring more of Jesus than of this world!

Compel believers to seek hard after more of You, Oh God—turning away from those things that dishonor Your Name and running swiftly into Your Presence where they will find peace and power to live holy!

Thank you for being faithful to all who put their trust in you. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray and praise you always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

A false sense of self-sufficiency or improper classification of present insecurities can breed dangerous distrust and a lack of Faith in The Father to be your Jehovah Jirah. The Battlefield of the mind is real—Free Your Mind from the limitations of the natural and the rest of you will follow.🙏🏽~M. Ford

Father GOD, we lift up prayers for our legislative government, nation, administration/presidency and military branches on today.

Grant godly wisdom, knowledge and understanding to leaders throughout the world, on both national and local levels, regarding laws passed and actions taken to protect the citizens they serve.

I pray for a spirit of peace and hope to spread globally as Your people, who are called by Your name, rise up and live out their faith in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. For you, Oh Lord, have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

Thank You, Father, for being our hope and help in this time of uncertainty and global chaos. Fill our hearts completely with your joy, peace and love as we put all of our hope and trust in You!

It’s in the strong and matchless name of Jesus I pray and will always give you praise…Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

Heavenly Father…Thank you for your unconditional love for us, and for the forgiveness of our sins.

Help us to be sensitive to the prompting of The Holy Spirit in our lives, and give us spiritual discernment, understanding, wisdom and knowledge of spiritual things so that we might properly handle every situation in the natural that life brings according to Your perfect Will.

Help us to live holy; understanding our responsibility to live blamelessly before a lost and watching world. For we know that the race is not given to the swift, but to the one who endures until the end. LORD, give us STICKING and STAYING POWER so that we will have strength to endure!

It’s in the mighty name of Jesus I pray…Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

LORD GOD, Give us a clean Heart; that we might serve you! LORD fix our hearts so that we can be used by you! For we are not worthy of all your blessings—We have caved in to culture and not stood up for righteousness. We have bowed down to lusts of the flesh and have not fed our spirits what is needed to sore above sin. We have grieved the Holy Spirit by quenching his perfect work to transform us into the likeness of Christ.

Nevertheless…Even NOW, Oh GOD, sprinkle Clean Water on us so that we might be cleansed from unrighteousness! Blot out our transgressions, so that we might be worthy! Remove our iniquities, and make us READY for service! LORD GOD, give us a New Clean Heart and we’ll follow you!

It’s in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus I pray and praise you forever and always…Hallelujah and Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

“I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.” (Ezekiel 36:25-27 ESV)
