Words of Encouragement Blog

Heavenly Father, I come praying today Your protection, direction and covering over all your people—those called by your name. Keep us from evil and help us do good. Pull down strongholds in our lives and cut loose those sins that bind and render us ineffective for your Kingdom calling. Strengthen us when we are weak, give us divine wisdom, knowledge, understanding and discernment—operating in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Help us to redeem the time, be wise as a serpents but gentle as a dove🕊. Build us up in our most holy faith for such a time as this!

Father God, so many are hurting, sick, lonely and discouraged, but just one touch from you will heal any sickness and right every wrong! Allow your healing, restoration, and renewal power to flow freely to your children standing in need—reaching those deep, hidden, dry and dead places in our lives that need to encounter your resurrection power!

Bless us with an extra measure of your grace and mercy as we begin our day, and provide a covering of protection as we go along the way. Father, we desire to do greater works in your name, so strengthen us and help us walk boldly in the calling you have upon each of our lives.

It’s in Jesus’ mighty matchless name we trust, have hope and pray always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

Elohim…You are the true and living God and we bless Your holy and righteous name!

Jehovah Jirah…Thank you for your new mercies and for daily loading us with benefits and blessings beyond measure!

Jehovah Tsidkenu…You alone have established us in righteousness!

Lion of Judah…We shall not fear or be afraid, for your mighty and strong right hand protects us from the oppressors and those who would attempt to destroy us.

No human or demons shall deceive, destroy or cause terror to come upon us because You are indeed our Jehovah Nissi, and you are always with us as our banner of protection.

We shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water—WE SHALL FLOURISH AND WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED!

Therefore, this day I decree and declare that No weapon formed against us shall prosper, And every tongue which rises up against us in judgment shall be condemned….Thus says the LORD! I decree and declare that we shall walk in the beautiful light of Your Love and bask in Your bountiful blessings!

Thank you, Father, for being Faithful to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think! It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus I pray and praise always…Hallelujah and Amen🙌🏼🙏🏽~M. Ford

“In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you. Behold, I have created the blacksmith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy; no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.” (Isaiah‬ ‭54:14-17‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

Father God, today I lift up to you in prayer those who are sick, those with diseases, those with all manner of illness throughout their body. You alone are Jehovah Rapha…the one who heals and can cure all our diseases without administering a single dose of medicine or performing a single surgery.

Father, visit the rooms of those whose bodies are racking with pain, cool burning fevers, calm upset stomachs, restore brain function, breathe oxygen into lungs, restore appetites, recommission malfunctioning organs—heart, liver, kidneys & lungs, regulate issues of blood, and even restore vision & hearing loss!

Release your healing power and let it flow like rivers of living water to every dry and desert place in need of a healing touch from you! For you alone are our help when there seems to be no hope; our Remedy when there is no cure; our Peace in the middle of Chaos; and our battle-ax in times of trouble!

We cry out to YOU ALONE Father on this day…SHOW US YOUR GREAT AND MIGHTY! It’s in the miracle working Name of JESUS I Believe, Pray & Praise always, Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

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 our spiritual walk.

Help us to Withhold Nothing and surrender all to you—the author and finisher of our Faith.

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!

Heavenly Father, You indeed are BIGGER than our biggest problem! Stronger than any opponent! Wiser than the serpent Satan! And Your Love for us never runs out! You alone are omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient and sovereign! The heavens declare your glory and the firmament shows your handiwork! You alone are GOD!

Therefore, I come lifting up to you in prayer your people who are called by your name—I pray for physical, spiritual, mental and emotional health and healing for your children who may be suffering, in the hospital, sick at home, distressed, oppressed, depressed, or just need a breakthrough! I pray for the breaking and deliverance from strongholds in the lives of your people—alcohol, drugs, pornography, homosexuality, perverse behavior, ungodly thoughts, unholy habits, demonic suppression, oppression, paranoia and depression—We serve eviction notices on them all and they ALL MUST GO, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!

We come pleading the Saving & Sanctifying BLOOD OF JESUS over our lives and CLAIMING THE VICTORY TODAY! By the everlasting Power of The Word We demolish everything that sets itself up against the knowledge, ways, and will of Christ Jesus and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ and His will for our lives!

Deliver your children from every evil plan, plot, trick and trap of the enemy! Set our feet upon a rock and establish our goings! Give us hinds feet so that we can successfully maneuver the slippery slopes of life and dodge the dangerous snares of the enemy!

Lord God, lift our heads high above our enemies and set us on a plain path—not wavering to the left nor right, but walking upright in Holy Boldness, allowing you to perfect every good work within us.

ALL FOR YOUR GLORY and HONOR! It’s in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ I humbly pray this prayer. Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians‬ ‭6:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your mercies that are new to us every morning! Because of the shed blood of Jesus, we can live a new life free from the bondage of sin…and I THANK YOU!

Gracious Father, allow the purifying power of your Holy Spirit to cleanse our lives from all things that dishonor you and hinder us from doing your perfect will. In the mighty name of Jesus, we cast off every form of unrighteousness and yield our total being—Mind, Body, Soul, and Spirit to your transforming grace.

You are the Potter and we are the clay! Help us, Oh Lord, to trust you and walk in holiness day-by-day! It’s in the saving Name of Jesus I pray and praise you always! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your unfailing love! Thank you for yet another opportunity to enter into your throne room and lay our petitions at your feet. I come praying that your people, who are called by your name, will humble themselves and pray fervently for a spiritual revival in our land!

For we know that you are the only light of hope we have in this present darkness, and the only remedy for a sin sick world. Help us to seek hard after Your will and to repent of every evil way and sin that separates us from You!

I pray that your Holy Spirit will sweep across our land and country like a mighty rushing wind…setting on fire hearts with a burning desire for more of You and less of this world! I pray that The Holy Spirit will ACTIVATE—freeing hearts and minds that are captive by demonic depression, oppression and possession!

I pray that those who don’t know You as Savior and Lord will be set free from Satan’s grip so that the loss will come into the knowledge of Your saving grace!

Father…endow the saints with holy boldness to witness for Christ and not fall prey to Satan’s tricks and traps! Raise up a remnant of people who will obey your Word and live holy! Raise up a remnant of people who won’t bend, bow or break under the weight and pressures of this life! Raise up a remnant of people who are willing to do it Your way, Yahweh!

Oh Lord, Our GOD…Hear our Hearts Cry, and Heal Our Land! It’s in the mighty and matchless Name above every name, JESUS, I Pray…Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

Thank you, Jesus, for Not quitting on the Cross so that our souls would Not be lost!
