Help us understand that your perfect plan for our lives is based on Your LOVE—not on our performance or the things we do.

Thank you, Abba, for calling us out of darkness into your marvelous light! It’s in Jesus’ perfect and matchless name we pray. Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford
Words of Encouragement Blog
I HUMBLY PRAY…
Heavenly Father, we come humbly asking for forgiveness of SIN. We have all failed you in some way or at some time in our lives. We have taken wrong paths and made wrong choices/decisions that did not glorify you. We know your Word, yet we still choose to ignore it and lean to our own understanding. We strive to impress others with our knowledge of your Word, but our hearts are far from you.
Father, forgive us. Wash and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Guide us into a truer, deeper relationship with you. We realize that we do not deserve to be in your presence, but we are so very grateful that you look past our faults and failures to see the promises you’ve placed within each of us.
We thank you for your precious Son, Jesus Christ, who made us right (righteous) with you through his shed blood.
Thank you for such a wonderful, priceless gift of salvation! We stand in Awe—amazed and mesmerized by what you have done for us, continue to do and will do for us!
We totally surrender our wills to yours…glorify yourself through us, ABBA! In Jesus’ Name I humbly pray…Amen!🙏🏽~M. Ford
LET IT SHINE!🌟
Father GOD, Oh how we love You! You are indeed worthy to be praised!
Thank you for entrusting us with the precious gift of salvation. Thank you for loving us past our faults and showering us daily with your unconditional love. For we realize that evil operates under the cover of darkness, but darkness has to give way to light! Help us to keep our CHRIST-LIGHT shining bright in order to confuse and confound the enemy!
Our desire is to be a brilliant light shining in a darken world by sin. Even on our most difficult, trying and devastating days, help us to LET IT SHINE, LET IT SHINE, LET IT SHINE!
It’s in the mighty and matchless Name of JESUS I pray. Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford
A Clean Heart ♥️
Jehovah Tsidkenu, God of our Righteousness! Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and anything that will dishonor You.
Consecrate us for Greater works in Your Name! Teach us to be humble in spirit, and help us to seek Your Will above our own way. Purge us from sinful habits, lusts of the flesh and prides of life. Anoint us with the power of the Holy Spirit for greater works.
Renew and strengthen us this day so that we can truly be light and salt in this dark and unsavory world—walking boldly in the calling you have upon our lives!
Use us as we submit and surrender complete control of our lives to You—the author and finisher of our faith.
It’s in the mighty and matchless name of JESUS I pray, trust, believe and have hope! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

STRENGTH🙏🏽
Heavenly Father, You indeed are an AWESOME GOD! I come praying for Your protection, direction, guidance and covering over your people today—those called by your name.
Give each of us an extra portion of grace, mercy and STRENGTH as we enter this new day—Not knowing what we may encounter, but trusting You to bring us through victoriously!
Give your Angels charge over us as we go to and from our destinations. Touch those who are hurting, sick, lonely and lost with your finger of healing, love, restoration and deliverance.
Whatever the need we believe you can fulfill. Wherever the hurt—You can heal. It’s in the mighty and matchless name of JESUS I pray, trust, believe and have hope! Amen 🙏🏽~M. Ford

HOLINESS IS STILL RIGHT 😇
GOD IS LOVE.❤️
However, there are some things He hates that are deadly to our relationship with Him.☠️
In order to grow closer to GOD and experience New LIFE, we must put to Death💀those things causing stagnation and a lack of spiritual growth.🌱🍂
These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him!🤯
A proud look😒
A lying tongue 👅
Hands that shed innocent blood🩸
A heart that devises wicked plans🫀
Feet that are swift in running to evil👣
False witness who breathes out lies😤
Spreading discord among brethren🤨
STOP IT NOW!🛑
Check yourself before you wreck yourself.⚰️
GOD KNOWS the Real You!🫣
Holiness Is STILL Right😇…Proverbs 6:16-19🙏🏽~M. Ford

“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!””(Revelation 7:9-10 ESV)
