Words of Encouragement Blog

Father, I pray that God will give Pastor’s wisdom as they call their congregations to prayer and lead them to an understanding of the times. I pray that those called by your name will seek hard after the truth of your word so that they may be spiritually mature and not blown away by every wind of doctrine; being able to withstand the wiles of the devil and become beacons of light in a dark and dying world.  I pray this prayer in the transforming name of Jesus–Amen! ~M. Ford

“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.” ‭(Ephesians‬ ‭4:11-14‬)

Father, I pray that an army of true Prayer Warriors will rise up and wage war against the enemy on their knees! No longer bound and defeated by political correctness, social status, and worldly ways, but Warriors willing to persevere in fasting and praying until we reclaim our families, communities, nation and world for Christ! In Jesus’ mighty, matchless and miraculous name I pray! Amen ~M. Ford

“And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” (‭‭Luke‬ ‭18:1, 7-8‬)

Father God—as we stand on the threshold of another week, breathe on all your children who are going through some storm of life right now. Those who are stressed, oppressed, or depressed please give them your peace that pass all understanding; your comfort to soothe their troubled hearts; and your perfect love that cast out all fear and wipe away every tear.

Lord, as we move through this week fill our hearts with such a great joy, love and longing for you—Like the deer thirsts after water, allow our souls to thirst after You, Oh Lord! Stir up a thirst in each of us that only you can satisfy as the lover of our souls!  

Father, in spite of current circumstances or self-inflicted situations—allow your children to find soul satisfaction, comfort and peace in your loving arms. I humbly ask that You Iead, guide, protect and direct us in a plain path each day as we walk in your perfect will. It’s in the all sufficient name of Jesus I pray, Amen. ~M. Ford

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”  ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭5:14-16‬)

The Savior is seeking sold-out Saints. Only those willing to surrender mind, body and soul need apply. ~M. Ford
