Words of Encouragement Blog

HEAVENLY FATHER…YOU are The True and Living GOD! We desire to live life Your Way, Yahweh!☝🏾🙏🏽Thank You for loving us past our faults and meeting us right where we are. As we bow in your presence this day, help us seek Your WILL in ALL things—and not our own way.

Comfort those who are hurting due to loss of loved ones, and touch those who need healing—whether physical, mental or emotional—release your healing balm that will penetrate any area of need. Strengthen those who are weak and ready to give up—let them know that for those who have no might you increase their strength when they wait upon YOU!

Open the eyes of those blinded by the lies and deceit of the enemy—free them from that terrible grip, so that they are forever free to truly experience life according to your will and purpose. For we know that this present darkness permeating our land and devastating your people is not something to be overcome in the flesh. But, we who are spiritual must mount up for battle in the spiritual realms, with our most steadfast, holy faith—wearing the whole Armor of God, praying in the spirit without ceasing at ALL times, and pleading The Blood Of Jesus over satanic situations encountered!

Help us, Oh Lord, to forge ahead in Jesus’ holy NAME—even when we get weak, frightened, discouraged and seem to have little hope, help us to find hope and peace in Your presence, and renewed strength and power in Your promises! Thank you, Father, for your divine love that lights up the darkest days of our lives!

Thank you, Father, for being the righteous Judge over all, for your grace that is sufficient, and for being the one and only Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Sovereign Savior and Prince Of Peace—Hallelujah! I pray this prayer in the mighty Name above all names, JESUS! Amen☝🏾🙌🏼🙏🏽M. Ford

“I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.” (Psalm 91:2-4)

“I AM HEALED”

Father God, many of your people, who are called by Your Name, are wrestling with past pains; current physical or emotional distress; overwhelming despair resulting from issues with careers, marriage problems, a season of sickness, or agonizing grief and devastating depression. Nevertheless, No matter what the case, it’s not too hard for You, Oh GOD! For You indeed are a FIXER of broken things—A heart healer; A physician to the sick; A comforter of the distressed; And a mind regulator for the stressed and depressed. There is no Mountain of Troubles too high, nor Sea of grief and despair too deep for Our GOD! For You, Oh God, are a strong tower where the righteous can run in and be safe! You indeed are Strong and mighty in Power—There is NO god like our Jehovah GOD! Great is our GOD…and greatly to be Praised! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen!🙌🏼🙏🏽~M. Ford

“He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.” (Psalms 147:3)

Oh Lord, our God! How excellent is your name in all the earth. For in all the earth there is none like you! You alone are omnipotent and sovereign! Nothing escapes your Holy vision. For You see the hurt, hatred, anger, sickness, pain and Chaos that’s rolling across our land. You alone, Father, can fix that which is broken, scared and devastated by this present darkness in these perilous times.

Father GOD, consecrate our minds…So that we have the mind of Christ. Consecrate our hearts…so that we have compassion and love for our fellow man. Consecrate our hands…so that they will be quick to help others and not harm. Consecrate our eyes…so that we see things and people the way you see them. Consecrate our feet…so that we run swiftly to do good and not evil. Consecrate our ears…so that we are fine-tuned into heaven’s wishes.

Jehovah Jirah, we come crying out with unified minds, surrendered hearts and one accord spirits for you to FIX IT, Lord Jesus! We look to You, Oh GOD, The Faithful, True and Righteous GOD, to right every wrong, and purge and purify this land from the evil that prevails.

Thank you, Father, for hearing our hearts cry! It’s in the Sovereign and Saving Name Of Jesus, who is The CHRIST, I pray and praise always! Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford

True Worship never leaves you the way that you came.

Isaiah’s spiritual eyes were opened and he realized his own hopelessly sinful condition, and the corroding condition of those around him, while worshipping in the presence of a Holy and righteous God. But, he didn’t remain in that same sin-sick state—and neither should we.

God’s redeeming love, unfailing forgiveness and complete cleansing power can wash away the toughest of sins and ignite within a desire for souls to win!☝🏾🙌🏼🙏🏽~M. Ford

“So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” (Isaiah 6:5-8 NKJV)

True Worship reveals our true spiritual condition. Like Isaiah, we recognize how sinful we really are in the presence of a holy, righteous and perfect God.

At that proclitic moment, the revelation of God’s Shekinah Glory and goodness compels us to confess and draws us into repentance.

PRAYER: Open our eyes, Lord, that we might see you more clearly—in the fullness of the beauty of your holiness! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” (Isaiah 6:1, 5 NKJV)

Abba Father…Our hearts are overflowing with gratefulness today! You have proven over and over again your sovereign faithfulness. We are so grateful that you allowed us to see a brand new dawning—even now, on this Thanksgiving Day!🦃🍽

Father GOD, I pray that you will set a guard around our hearts—allowing no darkness, depression or wickedness to enter. Allow only the light of your loving presence to embrace and rest upon each of us.

Release your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding to embrace the one whose heart may be heavy, hurting and seeking comfort and hope. Help us to see your sovereign hand at work in every circumstance—forever remembering that true Thankfulness is not about what’s in our “hands”, but what’s in our HEARTS❤️.

Thank you, Abba, for loving us beyond our faults and seeing the “worth” you’ve placed inside each of us. For this and so much more we give you THANKS!👏🏾🙌🏼☝🏾 It’s in the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” (Psalms 9:1)

“I CHOOSE TO WORSHIP~RAISE YOUR PRAISE!”—DAY 3

True worship ignites an uninhibited praise! This type of praise comes from deep within the bowels of the believer—not just from the lips.

This soul-breathed praise is an automatic and authentic response when we truly recognize whose presence we are in—The King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

It was this kind of angelic praise and worship experienced by Isaiah that rocked the heavenly house! Their praise was so profound that it was contagious—causing a ripple effect of uncontrollable shouts of JOY as they recognized and responded to GOD’s glory!🗣️🙌🏼🏃🏾‍♀️💨🙏🏽~M. Ford

“And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory! And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.”(Isaiah 6:3-4)
