Words of Encouragement Blog

Father God, We come laying on the Alter of Sacrifice any and all things that will prevent us from walking in humility, drawing closer to Christ and living holy.

As we enter this new day, we acknowledge that we cannot operate under “The Anointing” while walking in SIN and disobedience.

Therefore, like Paul, help us to crucify this flesh daily; to confess and repent of our sins always, like David; and to walk in obedience to your Word each and every day, like Jesus. Our heart’s desire is to do Greater Works for Your Glory!

Thank you, ABBA, for looking past our faults and imperfections and seeing the Promise you have placed within each of us!

Thank you, ABBA, for Choosing, Anointing and Using us to accomplish your Will here on earth. It’s in Jesus’ Name I humbly pray, Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

”He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.“ (I John 2:3-4, 6 NKJV)

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 and we become living testimonies 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

“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.” (I Corinthians 13:4-8)

Thank you, Father, for such a great Love that chases us down, covers us and raises us up even when we are at our lowest point!

Heavenly Father, We humble ourselves under Your divine authority as we walk with you this day—realizing that it is You who give and You who take away; it is You who raise up those in authority and it is You who will pull down in accordance with your good will.

Help us not to function in self pride or vain glory in ourselves; but rather help us to glory in You, Yahweh, who made the heavens and earth—the one who is able to destroy and save both body and soul!

For what have You required of us, but to do good, love mercy, and walk humbly with You our God?

We confess that we have sinned and fallen short in so many ways—Forgive us our sins, transgressions and iniquities; wash us in the cleansing blood🩸of JESUS and purge us from all unrighteousness!

Create in us a clean heart and renew in us a right spirit so that we might serve You in sincerity, passion and walk in your ordained purpose! It’s in the saving name of Jesus I pray and praise you always…Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with Him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed: “Lord, the great and AWESOME God, who keeps HIS covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes and our ancestors, and to all the people of the land.” “O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations, and the city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. Delay not, for your own sake, O my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.”(Daniel 9:3-6; 9-18)

”He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.“ (John 21:17 NKJV)
