Words of Encouragement Blog

Father God, We come laying on the Alter of sacrifice any and all things that will prevent us from walking with Christ in this new year. For we know that we cannot operate under “The Anointing” while walking in sin and disobedience. Therefore, help us to crucify this flesh daily, like Paul, and to confess and repent of our sins, like David, and to walk in obedience to your word, like Jesus, each and every day. Our hearts desire is to do Greater for Your glory! Thank you, Father, for looking past our faults and imperfections and seeing the promise you have placed within each of us! IJN I humbly pray…Hallelujah and Amen!🙌🏼☝🏾🙏🏽~M. Ford

“Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”

“But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.” (1 John 2: 3-6, 20 NKJV)

Father God, Thank You for allowing us to crossover into a brand new year! My desire is to see a phenomenal move of God sweeping over our nation and world like wildfire! Father, break our hearts with the things that break Your heart! Move within us in such a mighty way that men, women, boys and girls will be loosed and set free from those things that bind and prohibit them from being all You have predestined and will be compelled to LIVE HOLY—presenting their bodies as a living sacrifice—putting to death any unholy habits and wicked ways preventing a closer walk with Christ.
Move us into an even deeper and more intimate relationship with our Savior. Strengthen believers to rise up and take hold of THE ONE who has taken hold of them—experiencing Christ as The Prince of Peace in the middle of life’s storm, a Battle AX to fight all their battles, and a Strong Tower to run in and find safety! You alone are an AWESOME GOD! Hallelujah and AMEN! 🙌🏼☝🏾🙏🏽 #GREATER2021

“Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:12-14 NKJV)

🎁A PERFECT GIFT—#3: Give Christ your BEST Service—Not your leftovers! Use your spiritual gifts for His glory! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!🎁❤️

“For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function. 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, 6-8‬)

Merry Christmas Eve to ALL! Be blessed and not stressed!🎄🎁❤️🙏🏽🥰

🎁A PERFECT GIFT—#2: Give Christ your OBEDIENCE! Giving Christ what we want Him to have is NOT the same as giving Him what He requires of us—Obedience is better than sacrifice!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!🎄🎁❤️

“With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:6-8 ESV)

“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.” (2 Timothy 1:5-6)

Father God…our hearts are so glad because of what you have done in us and through us thus far! We stand on tiptoes of expectation as to what you will do as we move further in and deeper down in our relationship with you! Lord, we know that whether with many or a remnant few you will accomplish all you set out to accomplish! Use us, Oh Lord, to accomplish even greater works for the kingdom! Consecrate our hearts so that we are sensitive to your will! Regulate our minds so that we think on you more each day! Sharpen our vision so that we see in the spiritual realm! Fine tune our hearing so that we recognize Your voice even in the midst of chaos and confusion! And, when we get weak and tired, oh Lord, Strengthen us for this journey! Have your way Lord…ALL for Your glory! We love, praise and worship you always….IJN, Amen🙏🏽

“For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” (Matthew 24:38-42)
