“Awesome Is Our God!”

AWESOME IS OUR GOD!

Father God, pour out your spirit upon all flesh, especially those souls searching and seeking hard after You! Consecrate our hearts so that we are sensitive to your will! Regulate our minds so that we think on you more each day! Sharpen our vision so that we see in the spiritual realm! Fine tune our hearing so that we recognize Your voice even in the midst of chaos and confusion! And, when we get weak and tired, oh Lord, Strengthen us for this journey!

Father God, we know that whether with many or a remnant few you will accomplish all you set out to accomplish! Anoint and Appoint those who are truly sold-out for Christ and will represent the Kingdom well—in spirit and in truth!

Holy Spirit REACTIVATE Believers—young and old—who are called, anointed and appointed for such a time as this! Grace us with holy boldness as we combat the enemy, reclaim and take back our homes and communities for Christ!

Use us to do even greater works for the kingdom! Have your way Lord…ALL for Your glory! We love, praise, worship & adore you….IJMN, Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.” ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭143:10‬)

“MAKE ME OVER”

MAKE ME OVER!

Father God, Help us to be faithful to you as you are faithful to us. Give us a Heart for the things that’s near and dear to Your Heart, a transformed Mind of Christ, Hands to do Your Will, and Feet to run swiftly into obedience to your Word.

Lord, help us to never lose sight of YOUR Kingdom Calling on our lives as we humbly submit and surrender to Your Will daily. You are the Potter and we are the clay—mold us and shape us into vessels that bring you glory!

This day we decree and declare No weapon formed against us shall prosper as we bind up every defeatist though, action and conduct that will hinder us from accomplishing Your perfect Will!

Thank you, Father, for loving us past our faults and guiding us into Your precious promises as we forge faithfully into Victory, In the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus! Hallelujah and Amen 🙏🏽

“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”. Philippians 1:6

“LET FREEDOM RING”

LET FREEDOM RING

“LET FREEDOM RING”

Some people move away from their homelands looking for it—sometimes leaving friends and family behind. Others start new lives—facing unknown dangers in the pursuit of it.

Many fight against addictive demons—drugs, alcohol, over eating, smoking, perfectionism, pornography, and much more… all just for a taste of it.

Armies are trained to fight for it; and far too many die on foreign soil fighting in defense of it.

Then there are those who try every kind of “religion” imaginable striving to experience it. More and more people seek to find it through financial independence and the continuous acquisition of material things.

We celebrate it in music, movies and paintings. Statues are erected in honor of it. Schools teach students to respect it. Leaders of countries deliver speeches about it. Riots break out and demonstrators march to voice frustration over not having it.

So, what is “IT” that could be so highly treasured, sought after, honored and revered? FREEDOM!

We all want it, even when we fear it. We were created to enjoy it—to experience nothing less. But down the corridors of history we lost it. The freedom we once knew under God—that ability to satisfy the desires of our heart in ways that pleased God became distorted, strained, twisted and faded by sin.

Yet still we want our freedom, but we keep going after it in the wrong ways. So, we become slaves—slaves to cravings that draw us further into our own lusts and even further away from our God—The One who lovingly created us FREE to serve Elohim.

The Word of God is life-changing for those who are willing to admit that they are sinners and desire a better way—God’s way, Yahweh! He who God has set free, is free indeed—no longer bound by the bondage and shackles of sin. That’s true FREEDOM—Let Freedom Ring!♥️🤍💙🙏🏽~M. Ford

“OPEN THE EYES OF OUR HEART♥️”

OPEN THE EYES OF OUR HEART ❤️

Heavenly Father, Open the eyes of our heart, so that we might see things the way You see them and not be blinded by the pride of life, lust of the flesh, or the wicked ways of this world. Open the eyes of our heart, so that we might see your divine Hand moving in every circumstance of our lives. Open the eyes of our heart, so that our passions will move us into actions that represent Christ well. Open the eyes of our heart, so that we will truly hunger and thirst after your righteousness and not cling to our own selfish desires. Open the eyes of our heart, so that our talk will line up with our walk as we become living billboards for Christ. Open the eyes of our heart, Oh Lord…Open the eyes of our HEART! It’s in the saving Name of Jesus who is The Christ I pray and praise always…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.” (Proverbs 21:2 ESV)

STILL I RISE

STILL I RISE

Heavenly Father, Pour out your spirit on your children who are seeking more of YOU today. Fill our hearts with overflowing love—love for You, one another, and love for those we encounter daily.

Even when things are chaotic “without”, give us a quiet peace deep “within” that comes from confidence in knowing that You, Jehovah God, are GREATER than anything and ABOVE all things!

Help us to see life situations as only a temporary testing of our faith, divinely designed to strengthen us for this race.

Thank you, Abba, for the TESTIMONY of the TEST—a declaration that we’ve endured and prevailed! Hallelujah and Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford

“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter‬ ‭5:10-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

A FATHER’S LOVE

A FATHER’S LOVE

Do you truly think about God as being your Father?

If not, surrender to Him today whatever may be holding you back from completely trusting Him in the role of “Father”.

Allow God Himself to circumcise your heart and divinely remove all harmful, negative memories, thought-patterns, and/or experiences you perhaps had with your earthly father so that you can freely love and trust Him with all your heart, mind, body and soul as your Heavenly Father.

Once you truly know Him as “Abba”, your soul will then be eternally free to truly walk in obedience and live in His abundant blessings—FREE to LOVE, LIVE and WORSHIP HIM in the full beauty of His holiness!🙏🏽~M. Ford

“For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
