Words of Encouragement Blog

Heavenly Father, I come praying today for Your children…those who are called by Your name. Help us to long for an intimate relationship with You—no longer desiring milk, but the meat of Your word to guide our lives, especially in times like these. 

Father, consecrate our hearts so that we grieve over the sins of mankind and over our own personal sins, then confess and repent—turning away from those things that break Your heart and turning to Your Word and Prayer for the STRENGTH we need to truly Live Holy day-by-day. 

Father, I Pray for spiritual freshness to fall upon each of us individually and collectively as one global body of believers to effectively serve in building up your kingdom here on earth. Help us to use our spiritual gifts and talents for ministry, mission and witnessing to the unchurched and unsaved in our homes, communities and beyond.

Father, I Pray for spirit-fed, spirit-lead and anointed pastors, teachers, preachers, leaders, prayer warriors and all true Christ followers to rise up and with holy boldness proclaim that YOU ALONE are THE TRUE AND LIVING CHRIST! Endow us compassion and courage to be witnesses of Your sovereignty, omnipotence, faithfulness, forgiveness, righteousness, mercy, grace and Love!

Father, I Pray for SPIRITUAL REVIVAL to sweep across this Land like a mighty rushing wind—turning the stony unrepentant hearts of the people back into submitted, surrendered hearts of flesh that truly seek to serve and live for You above all else!

Hear my humble prayer on this new day of this new week! It’s In the strong and mighty Name of JESUS I pray and praise forever…Amen.🙏🏽~M. Ford

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR JESUS Continues!🎁

🎁GIFT #3: Give Him your Service—Use your spiritual gifts for His glory and honor!

“For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.” (Romans‬ ‭12:4-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

“When I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (II Timothy‬ ‭1:5-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Heavenly Father, Allow your Holy Spirit to rest upon your children today…filling us with Your love and peace that pass all understanding.

I pray the power of your presence humbles us into submission to Your WILL in every situation and circumstance encountered today.

I pray Your anointing will empower each of us as we submit and surrender every thought, action and deed unto You.

Father, equip us for every good work as we seek to honor You in everything we do. I pray that we allow your love to bubble over onto everyone we encounter this day!

Help us Not live for selfish ambition, prideful gain, or fleshly desires; but live for Your glory and honor through the Power of The Holy Spirit that strengthens us!

Help us represent your kingdom well here on earth. Not our will, Lord, but Your will be done in all things. It’s in the sovereign Savior’s name, JESUS, I pray and give thanks always. Amen🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews‬ ‭10:23‬)
