“Like A Tree”

Like A TREE

Heavenly Father, Oh, how we Love you! We stand in dire need of your strength, confidence, comfort, healing, restoration and peace today. Many of your people are facing trials, troubles, tasks and tests that seem too much to bare and impossible to accomplish or overcome.

Nevertheless, help us to realize that things are not always what they seem to be in the natural realm because of what is taking place in the spiritual realm. Open our spiritual eyes so that we might see your supernatural movements in our natural situations day by day.

Help us to realize that you are the source of our strength, and that there is an invincible army of angels that will fight our every battle…IF we just Be Still, Trust & BELIEVE!

For You have promised that in times of uncertainty, unrest and raging storms, to make us steady and sure—able to stand firmly even on the shifting sands of life. Father, Help us to look past our problems and our pain and remember your Promises! Standing firmly on your Word at all times and boldly declaring that GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN US, than he who is in the world!

Like a tree planted by the rivers of water—We Decree and Declare that WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED! Thank you, Father, for your Faithfulness! It’s in the mighty and matchless name is JESUS I pray and praise always…AMEN🙌🏼🙏🏽~M. Ford

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.” (Psalms‬ ‭121:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

COME FORTH!

COME FORTH!

Heavenly Father, I come lifting up in prayer all Christians around the world. 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!

Father, we know there is wonder-working POWER in the BLOOD🩸OF JESUS to RESURRECT DEAD things! Breathe NEW LIFE into those 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 that 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 walk out…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!•LOVE UNCONDITIONAL…COME FORTH!•FORGIVENESS…COME FORTH!•SELFLESSNESS…COME FORTH!•PATIENCE…COME FORTH!•GENTLENESS…COME FORTH!•KINDNESS…COME FORTH!•JOY…COME FORTH!•HAPPINESS…COME FORTH!•PEACE…COME FORTH!•RECONCILIATION…COME FORTH!•COMPASSION…COME FORTH!IN THE NAME OF JESUS…COME FORTH!☝🏾🙌🏼

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 our humbly cry this day…In the mighty Name of JESUS I Pray! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” (‭‭John‬ ‭11:43‬)

THE SEEKERS

THE SEEKERS

Heavenly Father, As we come seeking your face on this day, we trust you to move your hand in our Favor. We realize that we have sinned and fallen short in so many ways—Forgive us of every sin, transgression and iniquity that has caused us to compromise our faith and walk against your perfect Will.

Father, search our hearts and cast out every wicked way, every evil thought and every dastardly deed even before it is done! Wash us with the precious blood of Christ and cleanse us from the inside out. Fill us with your precious Holy Spirit and set our souls on blazing fire with a fervent love and desire to please you, Oh God! Manifest in us a passionate desire for more of your presence and power to do the work of the ministry in order to build up Your kingdom here on earth—all for Your Glory!

Father, I pray for a “spirit of prayer” to spread like wildfire across our land and country—saturating our homes, government, schools and churches! Draw us closer to Your Heart until our desires are aligned with Yours! Raise up a remnant of sold-out Believers that are filled with The Holy Ghost, walking in their Calling and committed to doing Kingdom work!

Father, Ignite a Spirit of Prayer within the body of Believers until every church once again becomes A HOUSE OF PRAYER, saturated with spirit-led, prevailing prayer, resulting in a harvest of souls turning back to You, The True and Living GOD!

Thank you, Father, for Hearing and Answering this prayer! It’s in the strong and mighty name of Jesus I pray and praise you always…Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭7:7-8‬)

REDEEMED

REDEEMED

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your unconditional love that look pass our faults and see our deepest needs. Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and create in us clean hearts so that we might be used by you for the building of your kingdom here in earth.

Father God, consecrate the hearts of Christians so that we will truly become Christ-addicted—Craving Your Word, seeking Your presence, and above all sincerely desiring daily to walk in Your Will day-by-day and not our own way.

Father God, Bless Your children with wisdom, knowledge, discernment and understanding of the times in which we live, recognizing that the days of our lives are filled with evil that can only be overcome by the power of your Love in action.

Give us a spirit of discernment so that we recognize the tricks and traps of the enemy from afar, and endow us with the ability to deflect every fiery dart of the devil with the pure unadulterated Word of God.

Father, help us to redeem our time while here on earth, living not as the unwise, but as the wise—walking in your will and not our own ways; recognizing and taking advantage of every opportunity to let other lights shine for Christ.

We are so grateful to be called by Your Name; help us to bring it honor a glory as we walk out our Faith each day. It’s in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ I pray…Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians‬ ‭5:15-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)
