“When I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.” (2 Timothy 1:5-6)
Heavenly Father, I pray that you will raise up a remnant of believers that have not bowed their knee to the Baal’s of this modern world, and are willing to wage war on their knees in order to combat spiritual wickedness and demonic oppression of this present darkness!
I pray that you will give Pastor’s wisdom and understanding as they call their congregations to prayer and lead them to a spiritual understanding and revelation of the times. I pray that all true believers will seek hard after the truth of your Word so that they might be spiritually mature, equipped, rooted and grounded in the Word and not blown away by every wind of doctrine; and be able to withstand the wiles (tricks, traps, temptations) of the devil in this evil day. I pray that you will raise up mighty prayer warriors, preachers, pastors, prophets, teachers and evangelists who are truly sold-out for Christ; becoming beacons of light in a dark and dying world!
Father God, give your children an unrest in our spirits that will drive us to one accord fervent prevailing prayer over the decaying moral condition of our society, local communities, nation and our world consumed by human cunning and craftiness and deceitful schemes brought on by this present darkness.
Lord GOD, send a fresh WIND 💨 of steadfast faith and a FIRE 🔥 of desire for more of YOU that will ignite the hearts ♥️ of your people across the country and world! Hear my cry, Oh Lord, and Heal Our Land! It’s in Jesus’ mighty and matchless name I pray and praise you forever! Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—” Ephesians 4:11-15 NKJV
HEAVENLY FATHER…YOU are The True and Living GOD! We desire to live life Your Way, Yahweh!☝🏾🙏🏽Thank You for loving us past our faults and meeting us right where we are. As we bow in your presence this day, help us seek Your WILL in ALL things—and not our own way.
Comfort those who are hurting due to loss of loved ones, and touch those who need healing—whether physical, mental or emotional—release your healing balm that will penetrate any area of need. Strengthen those who are weak and ready to give up—let them know that for those who have no might you increase their strength when they wait upon YOU!
Open the eyes of those blinded by the lies and deceit of the enemy—free them from that terrible grip, so that they are forever free to truly experience life according to your will and purpose. For we know that this present darkness permeating our land and devastating your people is not something to be overcome in the flesh. But, we who are spiritual must mount up for battle in the spiritual realms, with our most steadfast, holy faith—wearing the whole Armor of God, praying in the spirit without ceasing at ALL times, and pleading The Blood Of Jesus over satanic situations encountered!
Help us, Oh Lord, to forge ahead in Jesus’ holy NAME—even when we get weak, frightened, discouraged and seem to have little hope, help us to find hope and peace in Your presence, and renewed strength and power in Your promises! Thank you, Father, for your divine love that lights up the darkest days of our lives!
Thank you, Father, for being the righteous Judge over all, for your grace that is sufficient, and for being the one and only Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Sovereign Savior and Prince Of Peace—Hallelujah! I pray this prayer in the mighty Name above all names, JESUS! Amen☝🏾🙌🏼🙏🏽M. Ford
“I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.” (Psalm 91:2-4)
Father God, many of your people, who are called by Your Name, are wrestling with past pains; current physical or emotional distress; overwhelming despair resulting from issues with careers, marriage problems, a season of sickness, or agonizing grief and devastating depression. Nevertheless, No matter what the case, it’s not too hard for You, Oh GOD! For You indeed are a FIXER of broken things—A heart healer; A physician to the sick; A comforter of the distressed; And a mind regulator for the stressed and depressed. There is no Mountain of Troubles too high, nor Sea of grief and despair too deep for Our GOD! For You, Oh God, are a strong tower where the righteous can run in and be safe! You indeed are Strong and mighty in Power—There is NO god like our Jehovah GOD! Great is our GOD…and greatly to be Praised! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen!🙌🏼🙏🏽~M. Ford

Lord GOD, our hearts are so glad because we have seen Your handiwork and tasted of YOU and found that You are indeed good! As we move into this new day we REJOICE because we know you can do the miraculous through us as we submit and surrender to Your divine Will.
Whether with many or a remnant few, YOU will accomplish all you set out to do. Use us, Oh Lord, to accomplish even greater works for the kingdom!

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.” (Philippians 4:4 ESV)
Oh Lord, our God! How excellent is your name in all the earth. For in all the earth there is none like you! You alone are omnipotent and sovereign! Nothing escapes your Holy vision. For You see the hurt, hatred, anger, sickness, pain and Chaos that’s rolling across our land. You alone, Father, can fix that which is broken, scared and devastated by this present darkness in these perilous times.
Father GOD, consecrate our minds…So that we have the mind of Christ. Consecrate our hearts…so that we have compassion and love for our fellow man. Consecrate our hands…so that they will be quick to help others and not harm. Consecrate our eyes…so that we see things and people the way you see them. Consecrate our feet…so that we run swiftly to do good and not evil. Consecrate our ears…so that we are fine-tuned into heaven’s wishes.
Jehovah Jirah, we come crying out with unified minds, surrendered hearts and one accord spirits for you to FIX IT, Lord Jesus! We look to You, Oh GOD, The Faithful, True and Righteous GOD, to right every wrong, and purge and purify this land from the evil that prevails.
Thank you, Father, for hearing our hearts cry! It’s in the Sovereign and Saving Name Of Jesus, who is The CHRIST, I pray and praise always! Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great And to give strength to all.” (I Chronicles 29:11-12 NKJV)
True Worship never leaves you the way that you came.
Isaiah’s spiritual eyes were opened and he realized his own hopelessly sinful condition, and the corroding condition of those around him, while worshipping in the presence of a Holy and righteous God. But, he didn’t remain in that same sin-sick state—and neither should we.
God’s redeeming love, unfailing forgiveness and complete cleansing power can wash away the toughest of sins and ignite within a desire for souls to win!☝🏾🙌🏼🙏🏽~M. Ford
“So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” (Isaiah 6:5-8 NKJV)
True Worship reveals our true spiritual condition. Like Isaiah, we recognize how sinful we really are in the presence of a holy, righteous and perfect God.
At that proclitic moment, the revelation of God’s Shekinah Glory and goodness compels us to confess and draws us into repentance.
PRAYER: Open our eyes, Lord, that we might see you more clearly—in the fullness of the beauty of your holiness! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
“I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” (Isaiah 6:1, 5 NKJV)
