Words of Encouragement Blog

Father God, bless your children on today with GREATER! A greater capacity to love, comfort others, forgive, and encourage those we encounter—showing and sharing the hope of your deliverance and salvation as we let our Christ-light shine on those blinded by this present darkness. Father, equip and anoint us for every good work—persevering and prevailing in prayer! Father, help our FAITH not to fail as YOU PRUNE and PREPARE your children to MOVE from STAGNATION to the NEXT LEVEL of TRANSFORMATION in their spiritual walk—Withholding Nothing! Father, let Your Will be done here on earth 🌎 as it is done in Heaven. For Yours IS the KINGDOM, and the POWER, and the GLORY…FOREVER and EVER! It’s in the strong & mighty name of Jesus I pray and will forever praise—Amen.🙏🏽

“And that servant who knew his master’s will, but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating…Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.” (Luke 12:47-48)

Jesus Is A Faithful Friend. Others May Fall Away, But HE Will Always Stay! ~M. Ford 🙌🏼💃🏾🙏🏽

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” (John 15:13)

Little things can make a big impact on our lives. When you consider the mouth in comparison to other parts of the human anatomy, it may not seem as significant—but it is a powerful instrument to be used for good or evil—to bring joy or pain. The mouth can be used as an instrument for uplifting and encouraging or it can be dastardly and devastating to others based upon the “words” that come forth from it.

Think about it…how have you used your mouth lately? Perhaps in praise, prayer, encouragement, motivation, and blessings—to praise and worship our Lord and Savior? Maybe you have used your “words” as a secret weapon when you get into verbal arguments—or, to strike back at someone who you feel has wronged you—or, to tear down and curse people…those who were created in God’s likeness? Praises and curses coming from the same mouth…the apostle James says that these things ought not to happen—“…If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body” (James 3:2-10). So, as you self-reflect on your verbal history, remember… “Speak No Evil”.

Heavenly Father, Your children are in dire need of your strength, confidence, comfort, power and peace today. Many are facing trials, troubles, tasks and tests that seem too much to bare and impossible to overcome. Nevertheless Father, help us to realize that things are not always what they seem to be in the natural because of what is taking place in the spiritual—Father, with You being for us, in us, and with us is more than the world against us! Help us realize that you are our source of courage, and there is an invincible army of angels that will fight our every battle! For You have promised that in times of uncertainty, unrest and raging seas of life, to make us steady and sure—able to stand firmly and tread safely on rough paths of testing and times of trouble! Father, Help us to look past our problems and our pain and remember your Promises—standing firmly on your Word at all times—Decreeing and Declaring WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED! Help us, Oh Lord, to worship You in spirit and truth…ALL FOR YOUR GLORY & HONOR, OH LORD!! Thank you for your Faithfulness, Father! It’s in the mighty and matchless name is JESUS I pray and praise always…AMEN.🙌🏼☝🏾🙏🏽

When the ground you’re standing on seems like shifting sand, perhaps you’re standing in the wrong place! Try STANDING ON GOD’S PROMISES—His Word will give you traction & help you climb the slippery mountains of LIFE! ~M. Ford

“The Lord GOD is my strength; He has made my feet like hinds’ feet And makes me walk upon my high places.” (HABAKKUK‬ ‭3:19‬)

Don’t be so busy adding up your Troubles that you forget to count your Blessings—Be Thankful!🙏🏽

“What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits to me? I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord.” (Psalms 116:12, 17)

Start Your Day with a Thankful Heart♥️ and watch that which was bitter get better!~M. Ford🙌🏼🙏🏽🥰

“Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,” (Psalms 107:1-2)

Father God, Thank you for another day with brand new mercies. As we launch out into a brand new week, We ask that you go before us and prepare the way. Keep us safe from seen and unseen dangers. Dispatch your Angels to protect us from every hurt and harm. Give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding to accomplish every good work for your glory and honor. Give us clarity of mind, strength in our bodies, Joy in our hearts and an extra portion of your grace and peace that pass all understanding! In times like these, oh Lord, we need an anchor. You, Oh Lord, are that Anchor and we know that our Hope and Help both come from You—our Sovereign Savior, Prince Of Peace, Strong Tower, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, STRENGTH for the Journey! We love you with our whole hearts, Lord! Thank You for loving us unconditionally. Hear our humble prayer and heal the land. It’s in the saving name of Jesus I pray and praise always.
