Heavenly Father, I come lifting up in prayer all Christians around the world—Those called by your Name. The enemy has come into our homes and into our lives to KILL LOVE, STEAL JOY and PEACE, and DESTROY the very MORAL fiber of our FAITH! Therefore, on THIS DAY, we come crying out to you in unified PRAYER, pleading the BLOOD🩸of JESUS over every Christian home in jeopardy of destruction by the enemy!👿🤛🏽🙏🏽

Father, we know there is wonder-working POWER in the BLOOD🩸OF JESUS to RESURRECT DEAD things!⚰️Breathe NEW LIFE into dead Marriages and cause husbands and wives to bring forth FRUITS of a Godly Marriage that will function as designed by You, its Creator! Restore broken relationships between family members and bring forth unconditional love and forgiveness that freely flows throughout the family.

Turn the HEARTS of the children back to the parents and guide the parents in raising their children according to godly principles and not the ways of this sin-sick world! Brake generational curses that have bound and destroyed family love and unity and release generational BLESSINGS that will cause Your people to PROSPER from generation to generation! Anoint and Raise up HOLY SPIRIT-FILLED and HOLY SPIRIT-LED DISCIPLES within every Christian Home—those who are able and willing to go the distance—Living out their soul salvation in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.

Father God, you’ve given us death and LIFE in the POWER of our TONGUES, so help those who are hurting, discouraged, broken, frustrated, and about to give up and quit…TO SPEAK LIFE back into their Dead situation! Just as You Commanded dead Lazarus to “COME FORTH” alive again…You have given Your children that same RESURRECTION POWER and AUTHORITY to CALL FORTH those things that are DEAD back to LIFE!

Father God, help your children to truly BELIEVE, TRUST, OBEY and WALK in the POWER and AUTHORITY that You have given us in The BLOOD & NAME OF JESUS! Hear this humble cry this day…In the mighty & matchless Name of JESUS I Pray! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.” (Romans 12:4, 6-8)

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
