Word of the Lord for May 2012 by Prophet Phyllis Ford

April 30, 2012        PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION   Prophetic Insights As I stayed in a place of prayer and study before the presence of the Lord concerning His word for May and the state of things in this hour: I received visions and utterances and I would like to share them as they occurred because I believe the order of things and how the Lord states particular things are important. I pray that you will receive further insight on the time that we are in and act according to the instructions that the Lord gives you. I have a vision of “gates” that were very elaborate in design and beautiful in the iron work that made them and they were opening and the light was very bright. I also saw other gates that seem to look very different and I even wondered if they varied in purpose. But in the midst of the vision I heard the Lord say: I am opening my gates and I am shaking the gates. In scripture gates are positioned in the entry way of cities or provinces and even in intercession they mark a strong significance to a region or area. Gates represent boundaries and authority within certain places. Gates can represent government (spiritual &  natural), ministry as well as many other meanings. The elders of the city/regions sat at the gate.  Gates can also be used for security measures of protection. I was intrigued by the statement, “I am opening my gates and I am shaking the gates.” I knew in my spirit that the statement was about two distinctively different gates. Then the Lord spoke to me concerning the gates. “My gates are before you and I will open before you new ways, even new courses of how you need to move forth and what you need to do. Gates are highly significant in this season—as major decisions and a representation of a place or region and many matters are determined in the gates. Some gates will be broken never to be repaired again. Others gates will be restored but only as boundaries, and entryways to certain places. New gates will be established as new regimes will be coming forth, some for good and for some evil. Know that I am shaking the gates of men along with their evil plots and purposes. And know that when they thought that their gates were secure, they will find chaos and confusion. Where they thought they would have the advantage there will be uncertainty, for I am shaking the gates and foundations of men. The one who is positioned at the gate will determine the fate of certain regions. The men that will be positioned at the gates will reveal to you many things. This may seem to appear as a mystery but in these next four months, you will have a clearer understanding of what I am saying to you in this hour. Also know that at my gate you will see my glory and it will provide you access into places you would never be able to attain other than through me.  My strength, my light and my word will lead and help you maneuver through trouble areas.”  Isaiah 45: 1-3 “Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut, I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:  And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou may know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” Genesis 22:17 “That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.” Several days after that I had a dream:  I saw this man with a small green snake and he was instructing others on how to handle the snake. He was encouraging others to hold it but as others watched (in fear and amazement) (I didn’t feel good about this situation but I watched very carefully.) All of a sudden a huge snake jumped up out of nowhere and bit a person’s neck. Everyone was startled. As I prayed about this the Lord told me that the spirit of Python (a spirit of divination as defined in Acts 16:16) was trying to weary the people of God and to drain them of strength---to lure, distract and then strike where it could. (Read about the spirit of Python through this link on our website.)   http://www.carpenterstouch.org/gpage8.html   Here is the utterance from the Lord concerning the dream: “There is a tremendous amount of warfare coming against the people. It is important to stay before my presence, do not falter or be distracted in your place of prayer. The enemy is trying to keep you from pressing into prayer. But prayer has the power to change impossible things.  You can’t afford to be stagnant and immobile because I have set fields before you that you will be able to glean in and you must be ready to gather up what I am providing for you now so move forth in diligence now. Know I have placed in you---a precious treasure, and that treasure is rare and like unto a valuable precious stone that has yet to be appraised, but it is worth more than you may ever imagine. It is my Spirit, my life, and my anointing. It is able to break strongholds and fight armies and even endure great hardships, and is able to exercise great wisdom in times of trouble and guidance in every task ahead. Now is the time of my coming, the time of my awakening: to give you what you need to complete the task ahead of you and to walk this journey of the fulfilling of kingdom power that is coming upon this land. Many shall see it and rejoice. So get before me and receive your marching orders, because the time for my work to come forth mightily.” The Words of the Lord continued: “This will continue to be a time of great shaking; it is as a result of the assessment of matters that have come up before me. I have waited patiently upon the people as well as my people to change. There are vital decisions and an ultimate stand to be made concerning the choice to walk in maturity in these matters. The affections of the hearts of men have been more focused upon what they have, rather than who they are and what must be accomplished. But I stand before all in this hour and beckon you to come into a place in me where you may prevail, overcome and truly understand all that is before you. Because even if you are not aware, times are more perilous then you can imagine and the decisions that you make now are more vital than ever. So continue to move forward because the time is short. What you do now will determine how your future will be ordered and what will be in place for you as you allow me to order your steps. I will secure your survival, protection and ability to minister to others in the difficult days that are ahead.” “So press into my presence and determine what you must carefully look over that is before you in order to make the right choices. You must find out “what is your true purpose,” and also, what is the process that must be followed. You need to know how to endure, pursue that purpose and follow it through. There is an urgency in the air for a reason and you must be prepared for the hour ahead. These answers are not difficult or impossible to understand because I have already placed them in your heart. And as you wait before my presence in prayer---you will see, hear and even understand in a new way the things that I have prepared for you. I have actually been showing you, revealing to you, and preparing these things for your life. Through your own personal experiences there have been glimpses of that which you have experienced along the path that I have chosen for you. It is on your road that you are to travel, as you study my word, pray for enlightenment and hear/listen for my wisdom and instructions.” April 29th Early Sunday Morning Utterance from the Lord   Phyllis Ford “Know that in this season there must be preparation and much time spent before me---in order for my people to know specifically what I have called them to do. Plans must be implemented, and followed so that the work of the Kingdom can be done and accomplished in this hour. There is a serious time of assessment and judgment that is coming forth in the land. Some things must be removed now so that surrounding circumstances can be better maneuvered around and important initiatives can be completed. If you seek me, you will find me and inquire of me so that you will know without a shadow of a doubt what you need to be prepared to do.” “Some relationships and associations have gone their course. Because you have a part to walk out in the area of assignments during this time and as a result you will find yourself walking away from some in order to achieve what needs to be done. Some are not concerned and don’t desire to make changes in their lives, nor make any sacrifices, nor are they ready to commit their lives to the work of gospel of the kingdom upon the earth. They will not understand and through their own unbelief they will hinder your progress. Love them and pray for them but understand there will come times when you will have to let some people go, in the hope that they will come into a new place of understanding. There will be times that you will have to walk away from some things in order to follow my mandate upon your lives.” (Mark 10:28-31 Amplified Version) “Peter started to say to Him, Behold, we have yielded up and abandoned everything [once and for all and joined You as Your disciples, siding with Your party] and accompanied You [in walking the same road that You walk]. Jesus said, Truly I tell you, there is no one who has given up and left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for My sake and for the Gospel's. Who will not receive a hundred times as much now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life. But many [who are now] first will be last [then], and many [who are now] last will be first [then].” “There will be times that you will try to share with family the seriousness of the hour and they won’t listen. But speak truth to them in love, talk to them about the condition of their souls and not just how they feel about things. This is a time to reap the harvest of souls into the Kingdom. The condition of a man’s soul is more important than how they feel about the course of things right now. Their life’s eternal preservation is more important than their worldly temporal choices. [(The Lord referenced John chapter 5 which He speaks to the man who is at the pool of Bethesda (which is located near the sheep-gate) and asked him: “Will thou be made whole?” (Do you want to be healed?) Instead of saying, Yes, the man begins to tell why it hasn’t been possible to get healed.)] My question to them is wouldn’t they like to be made whole. I have healing for them and healing for their souls, but are they willing, ready to receive it?”  Jeremiah 6:16 “Thus says the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” “So hearken diligently because you are in a time of acceleration for a reason. It is important that you are moving forward purposely, concerning your life, and your family. Your commitment to the ministry of reconciliation, the harvesting of souls, the perfecting of the saints, and the edification of the body of believers is crucial. The foundations have already been laid – it is important that you move upon the statues and principles formed in my word and not upon the false foundations set in the world because these are the very things that have set them on a course for serious trouble. Guard your heart. Especially in those things I show you, teach you, and reveal to you by my word because they are life, strength, and key direction for your life right now. These things are very important as trouble looms over the nations and as even the earth is in travail throughout the world”. “Even in the midst of trouble in the land you must continue to follow your assignment rather than fall prey to fear, and become stagnant in your faith and the advancing of my kingdom.” Daniel 11:32 “And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” “The ability to carry and walk out that strength and the ability to overcome is in the knowing. Know me, my word, my way, my truth, and my wisdom. It is the life, the bread that you will eat and be sustained by as the approaching storms come. Your strength in me and the knowledge of who you are will keep you alert. Be ready to set forth the plans that must be carried out now. I want you to take that which I give to you, and I will add increase to it. Take that which you have in your faith and I will add to it the manifestation of the promises that I have given to you. Take that which I place into your hands in this hour and I will even add to that which you have utilized, for I am adding to you in this hour that you may win. Follow my way, walk according to my word, and you will find provision on the left and on the right (both spiritually & naturally) Walk through this progression---things are moving and as the acceleration is in motion---you must move in this same flow and same pace. I will keep you and carry you on to the doorsteps and places of favor that I will set before you.” Additional Prayer and Intercession: There is a major terrorist plot being planned, prepared and even being secured now. Watchmen stand upon your post. There is an even stronger threat of racial/civil unrest that has not been seen in this time. A planned war amongst our nations will follow. Watch, pray, fast, be on guard. Be alert. Some things are set to occur without warning. Remember don’t be distracted, warfare level is at a red alert. There are literally battles that are going on in the heavenlies. We need the Daniel’s to arise in this hour, watch, fast and pray.  There are more volcano’s that have awakened since January 2012 and this number has also increased as of April 2012. There is an uptick of earthquakes with several at Sumatra again at 8.6. Watch Mexico. Watch California. Nuclear contamination is also a real and major concern with the increase of both earthquakes and volcanoes. Hawaii is a major concern with earthquakes & volcanoes. So many regions are at high alert.  James 5:16 “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”   A Personal Message from Prophet Phyllis Ford to all current subscribers: I am personally asking you to stretch out in the area of giving and a sow a seed into this ministry—we are preparing to launch Apostolic Prophetic Leadership Ministry Training with schools of Apostolic Prophetic Ministry, Discipleship, Prayer Evangelism including Youth Ministries, with Live Streaming available.

Word of the Lord for April 2012 by Prophet Phyllis Ford

March 31, 2012      PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION Romans 13:10-12 Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake * out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent * , the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” 1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.   “There will be upheaval, coming trouble and great uncovering. Yet in the midst of it, I am raising up a people that will quickly implement stop gap measures and release strategies to initiate my plans with strength and conviction to further establish the kingdom. These will be accomplished by my army of warriors that are now gathering and developing so that they may prepare for the coming days ahead. They will be armed with my glory and my grace. They will be able to do battle and war with the enemies of this hour as they wield their swords of My truth and wisdom to cut away every lie, every false idol, and every evil work that the enemy has planted among my people.” “My people will walk in new strategies that are now being revealed. These strategies will be found among My people who have been tried in fiery trials of affliction and they are coming forth ready to execute kingdom order in the days, even months ahead. Watch for them, watch for them, they are coming now.” “I am raising Joseph companies who will carry my wisdom and inspire my people to dream again, who with My eyes will see famine from afar. They will construct, out of the hands of compassion and a heart of wisdom, storehouses and places of refuge.” “I am raising Esther companies who have been purified with fragrances of fasting and intercession, to transform cities as well as save lives through times of watching and prayer as they decree, declare and rule with My scepter of light, even through the night.” “I am raising up a Apostolic & Prophetic company who will counsel kings. They will prepare and expand the prophetic camp of the Lord and restoration will once again be established. They will be a people who will hear the words that were spoken in the King’s bed chamber. They will be a people who have been called to speak into regions, governments, famine and Kings, and My prophets shall declare “What thus says the Lord,” in this hour, with great power.” “I am raising up an Apostolic & Prophetic company who restore order in everything that pertains to Me in the church, in sound doctrine, and in kingdom administration. They will father many who have been orphaned, and those who have given up will receive a new surge of Faith being revived into their hearts.  This company of people will not be afraid to confront the evil that is being unleashed in this hour. They will look into darkness and command light. They will declare my righteous judgments that will occur saith the Lord. They will help the people to understand how these things line up with the events that are spoken in my word. I will also open doors of opportunity for them to minister in regions where are being called.” “I will breathe life upon my Pastors, Evangelists and Teachers so that they may be filled with purpose and lead others into the light. They will be carriers of light and they will speak words of light into the hearts and minds of many and many will awake from their place of slumber and sleep.” “You will see a release of miracles, healing, and manifestations of My anointing in this hour. Know that I, as your great High Priest, will carry you as my ephod into the Holy of Holies as My own. You will see with My eyes and hear with My ears, and understand with my heart, what is happening in this hour and what must be done.”   Prophetic Insights The Lord spoke about this being a month of “passing through” and “awakening.” It is a time of passing through all the barriers and hindrances that have kept many off focus and even lead many captive. When I observed the biblical reference to this word, (passing through) Luke 4:30 says, “But he passing through the midst of them went his way.” This was Jesus when those who were about to thrust Him out of the city-He was in the midst of a dangerous situation—He passed through—this was a breaking through by way of divine intervention. The other scriptural reference was Acts 8:39-40 Philip’s encounter as he ministered to the Ethiopian eunuch---they both went down in the water and Philip passed through to another region and went on to preach the gospel. The Lord said that people who can’t seem to break through the obstacles to get where they need to be will pass through. His assurance was that by His own Hand, He will cause His people to pass through and they will overcome that which has kept them back. Whether it be demonic, real or imagined. He will allow them to overcome and they will pass through. April will be known for passing through, a transition but from a totally different perspective. It’s about moving forth into a better place. This is a realization that it’s time to change because it’s time to move into a different place on many levels. It’s about advancement, a moving forward because where we are---will no longer sustain us. We must learn how to progress into a more mature state through the realization of this kingdom awakening. (Many will see and say, wow, this is where I am, but now I’ve got to move on–it’s a coming out of spiritual slumber and having to act right away.) The Lord said, “This is why as you prepare, prepare for others because some will be just waking up.”   When the Lord began to share with me concerning about this season of “awakening” He spoke to me about it from several levels: 1.    He spoke about those who are coming out of a state of denial after seeing various situations such as; (present trouble in government, financial outlook, social upheaval and possible perils of war/ terrorism going on in the land). They are now coming into an awareness about what is going on around them. They are beginning to see how this relates to the spiritual and moral crisis of our day. These challenges are now being looked upon as being very serious. There is an awareness concerning those who are living in a way that has been void of a true personal relationship with Him. These situations are causing many to make serious decisions in their life about their true need for spiritual direction, protection, and change in their current lifestyles. It is almost as if they have come out of a sleep/slumber to move out of the stagnant areas of their lives into more productive pathway of life. He also spoke of those who were a rebellious people and will unfortunately refuse to hear the word in this hour. 2.    He said that during time that His remnant will advance in this hour and the awareness of His people will be at a heighten level. There will be strong confirmations within the hearts of His people that have been called before the foundations of the earth and they are about to walk in a place of power and dominion. The Lord said, This will be a sovereign work of His divine providence and a fulfillment of what He spoken in His word. This is just the beginning but we are about to see an acceleration of His divine plan.  He said that, “The trump is being sounded!!” There is a calling unto His people and they will come forth--He also spoke about those who have been tried, tested but have not forsaken the work of God and are willing to go forth to complete the assignments that are being placed in their hands.   He went on to say: “I am holding accountable present leadership and I am holding responsible ministers who have not prepared My people. They have instead gotten caught up in a type of politics within their pulpits by jockeying for position and power. Those who aren’t living out the purpose for which I called them, will be removed, released and brought down from their self-exalted positions of pride. I am looking for true hearts, yielded hearts, and hearts of compassion that will run the distance and not come up short. I will remove them from their place. I will take away the robes that once represented My righteousness and strip them from their duties and responsibilities. I am setting things in order, and surely My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations and as it is enlarged upon the earth, it will dispel areas of darkness.”   The word for those awaking out of a place of denial:  “I am extending My hand of salvation and righteousness upon those of you who want it and need it in this hour. And I will establish that which has been severed by sin and the strongholds of religion. True relationship with me is the sure way to operate in a closer place; where I can administer my healing and restoration in righteousness that you so need right now. Your life with me can’t be established on your own terms, nor maintained by your own standards. These standards must be based on the truth and understanding of My word.”  “For I desire to place within you: new hearts, new minds, and a spirit that has not been embittered with discouragements, frustrations and disappointments. These are the seeds that will hinder you from seeing and understanding what I am about to do. I am circumcising hearts so that my kingdom work will be directed towards my purposes and principles and not just based on your own plans. This is a time to walk circumspectly, wisely, keeping in mind that so much is at stake. Reach out to me. . . .Where I will pour out my grace and glory—it will touch you, change you and even transform you as you receive my presence and you will become more and more aware of where you will need to be to overcome the great challenges ahead.”   More shakings to come “There will be more shakings to come and many will begin to fear that these things will never pass. These are just prophetic signs of the events that will take place in the midst of a rebellious house. A people who refuse to change, repent, nor hear My voice. They have refused to heed my warnings and are about to see the consequences of their actions which will not yield any remedies. I have been long suffering but they are about to see that there lies greater evil and greater trouble that will come because of what was in their hearts and imaginations.”  “Now is a time of great reckoning and it will be an ultimate test of one’s character as to who you are and what is your real purpose. What you must do based on where you need to go is very important now. It is a time of coming out of a denial and a refusing to see the signs that are before you. So hear now, understand and acknowledge that the future of this nation and other nations are hanging in the balance. The garments that are being worn by those who refuse to mature in this season though they may have an outward appearance of being clean, know that now I am requiring a greater cleansing process.” “Systems will continue to fail and even give way. Some to new and better ones but you must not faint and give up. PERSISTANT PRAYER is your road to preservation. It will provide the answers that you will need in a moments’ notice. Know that the enemy has not retreated but is lying in wait. Watch terrorism in your nation as well as London, and other European nations. The enemy is looking to strike now without warning or notice. They are already in various countries waiting and preparing to strike. Stay sober minded and vigilant.” “There will be more and more uncovering between now and May 2012. Politically, and economically, and other government back door deals will be involved.”    VISIONS  and  Special Intercession:   The Lord told me to pray for Canada. He said, There was about to be a great shaking in that region and that they were in a valley of decisions. This was concerning who they will follow—whether they will be a sheep nation or goat nation. This is a crucial time to pray so that their alliances will be carried out in the right hands. Vision--I saw a region where appeared to be in desolation and in need of much help. I saw much water covering certain areas, the Lord said the place was Bangladesh—I discerned famine. I prayed into a deep intercession.  Prepare for Passover—The Lord said that during Passover to pray for Israel that His canopy of Righteousness and Light would spread over the land and the people. During that time He will visit His people with great Light.  Watch for “suddenlies” throughout this month. Vision--I saw a large meeting with men---but in the midst of it there was an attack and some who attended were injured. (The location of this was not made known to me). It appeared to be a bombing.   While in intercession: 1.    The Lord said, “War is looming over the nations now and it carries a spirit of fear and a plan to destroy those who are in its’ path. 2.    The Lord said, “The spirit of racism has been a hidden but deadly enemy, if there is no change then our country will find itself in a serious encounter and caught off guard by a possible more serious attack. There are those who are looking for an opportunity to strike.” PRAY The Lord said to look up the scriptures that contain HOLD FAST!! (Job 27:6, Jeremiah 8:5, I Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Timothy 1:13, Hebrews 3:6.) All of them were powerful scriptures.   The Word of Wisdom---Cast your nets on the right side of the boat. John 21:6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Cast your nets on right side of the boat----the Lord said, “This is only one of many revelations of this word.  The word is multi-dimensional. I will direct you on how to obtain the things that you will need through my word of instruction that would provide you with information to obtain what you need. The instructions may be perceived by man as unconventional but that very word will the right word that you need to hear to obtain what you need. When the obedience to my word is followed--miraculous results take place.” “The right side/the other side—in order to receive this kind of miracle one’s thinking needs to change. People have been focused upon doing things their way or the traditional old way without seeking me for my instructions. On too many occasions people look to man’s formula for resolutions to dilemmas instead of following My word. This has called many to err. This has limited their ability to achieving and overcoming things. When there is a dilemma—Seek me for fresh instructions and you will see the miraculous.”   A Personal Message from Prophet Phyllis Ford to all current subscribers: I am personally asking you to stretch out in the area of giving and a sow a seed into this ministry—we are preparing to launch Apostolic Prophetic Leadership Ministry Training with schools of Apostolic Prophetic Ministry, Discipleship, Prayer Evangelism including Youth Ministries, with Live Streaming available.

Word of the Lord for March 2012 by Prophet Phyllis Ford

March 1, 2012         PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION “It is time to step into my glory and light. Where fear cannot overtake you—where you are protected by the understanding that I am your maker and your dwelling place. You must know that I am with you, for you and in you. Know that you can overcome all that is before you. So stay before me where my spirit can direct you and provide you with the revelation of what you must know and what you have been positioned to do. So don’t allow your circumstance to dictate to you but declare, decree, rule, reign before all that is occurring around you. You will not only maneuver into safety but you will know how to exercise faith in the midst of obstacles and situations. Walk as Son’s as I declare to you what to do and how your direction in life should take on the path that you must walk. So stay in the light of my presence, light of my glory and the light of my word as you may be able to see what is before you and what is about to occur before it takes place.”   “There will be high level meetings in the US. When it begins everything will seemingly go in one direction and course but by the time it is concluded, the victory will be recovered and those who were appearing to have the advantage will be the ones that will be put in check. For I am moving in this time to release my righteous judgments in the land and deal with those who have been smug and arrogant with their own power but their influence will be humbled by my mighty hand. The hands of the unrighteous and their works have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. I have a redemptive purpose and the restoration of my people will carry a major part of my plan.” Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which I have prepared for them whom I love. (1 Corinthians 2:9). “   “I will bring down the high tree and exalt the low tree and I will uncover all things. That which was set up by the enemy, will be reversed says the Lord. So when you witness what is about to occur do not be dismayed nor intimidated, because there will be change and a turning. A turning, an awakening, and a ruling in the midst of the ruling and I will have my way. I will determine the fate of those who have been in power---I will have my way and my word will be the last word, says the Lord. I will remove these evil foundations, and I will destroy that which does not represent my plan. I will set forth a new strength and a new glory, which will deal with the works of darkness and it will set in order the new course by which you should go.”   “You are about to witness some things that will startle you, but realize that righteous judgments have been set into place long ago. These things must take their course for real change to come forth in this nation. Know that there are plans of wars, plans of upheaval, and plans of betrayal but there are also plans of standing for that which is Holy, and that which is right. There are plans that I have set in place, to help you overcome all that is coming upon the land. So stand in faith and the understanding that I shall reveal to you which will bring forth the light of My glory that will shine upon your heart. I will set in place for your life a new restoration that will help you grow and move with endurance and unwavering strength.” Isaiah 40: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.   “Take that which I have given you and prepare. You must fulfill the work and the plans for preparation and preservation. It is important that you implement and prepare with that which I place into your hands so that you may walk out My wisdom for your protection and for your defense. I will be by your side – showing you and helping you set things in place, speaking words of direction and comfort. So don’t worry because you are more prepared than you know and you know more than you realize. This is a time of watching and implementation. When Nehemiah rebuilt the wall, there was a watching and praying, a building and watching, hands to build and hands to war with a blasting of the trump the wall was built. (Nehemiah 4:9,17-18, 21) These are essential now. This watch will prepare you down the way--– it is a prophetic watch that will help you see your way into the next 6 months and so that you will be prepared. So wait before Me and allow Me to strengthen you for the journey ahead and enlighten you concerning the serious things that are to come.”   Prophetic Insights: This is a month that will carry a great uncovering of the plans of men behind closed doors. Before this month is over we will know about several conspiracies that many imagined, theorized and even felt prophetically. We will see the uncovering of agreements that were conspired, strategized and put together—then played out and hidden in plain sight before the people. The world economy being the major focus and people trusting their governments and business community have unfortunately, become collateral damage.    The Lord began to confirm that the “economic house of cards” is about to come crashing down because the trouble that has been hiding in plain sight can no longer remain hidden. The reality is that things are much worse than earlier perceived because of the evil works that have been planned by the hands of a few. However the Lord said there is about to be a major reality check as the enemy continues to move towards more cover-ups, including a premature war (using more tactics that have been previously agreed upon.) Nonetheless the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous avails much and God’s power will move forth in the hearts of a “people prepared” as they will continue to advance and overcome.    The Lord went on to say: “There has been a great covering up of corruption. Some will be at the government level; others at the level of those who tell the government what to do. There are those who are being singled out for what many have already determined behind closed doors. Many hands were involved, but some will be designated to take the fall. These were all connected to the cover-ups and they were corrupted to the core. The hands that were a part of it did it because they were determined to benefit from it. But great will be their fall and many will come to understand that My justice will established in the midst of their so-called justice and the actions of these men will be uncovered and diminished.”   Proverbs 6:18 KJV (these things I hate…..) A heart that devised wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief.  “For the feet that run swift towards evil will not only have to pay the price of their own undoing but unfortunately many will suffer temporarily, by the hands of the few. Yet I have a recourse, one of stability and truth that will come forth out of the ashes of the destruction of these systems. They will know the strength of My hand and I will overturn, overturn, overturn, says the Lord. And the shakeup of leadership and heads of government have already begun and will continue and there will also be shakings in the land.”   Galloping Horses: Vision: I saw a vision of galloping horses and the Lord gave me this scripture. Jeremiah 12:5  If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trusted, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? The Lord said: “There is a sound of galloping horses that speaks of coming trouble and the evil plans of men moving forward to demonstrate/show their own power and might. For the governments will meet but they will also rise up one against the other with threats, along with great swelling words and even sharp accusations. There will be clashes of power and rank as each one shows their declarations of strength and opposition to each other. You must understand these things will come. But there are those who would like to push the envelope of rivalry against one another before the time. There is a rushing to judgment on matters that are not of Me----and those who are pushing their agendas will only gender more strife and stir up more trouble. But these things will be uncovered and those hands will be revealed as to the course that their plans were being set. There will be one hand pointing at another, while at the time of the uncovering, the hands of the other will be revealed. So watch and pray. Be careful not to judge anything before it’s’ time. Keep up with all that is going on around you so that you will know what to do and how you should do it ”   The rearing up of the tabernacle The Lord showed me a vision of the tabernacle in the wilderness earlier in February. He later said in the month of March, that this was the time for the rearing up of the tabernacle. Exodus 40:17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up. (Other significant scripture: Entire Exodus 40, Numbers 1:1, Numbers 7:1, Number 9:15, 10:11) (The symbolism concerning “the rearing up” speaks volumes but it is a major key and instruction to the people of God in this hour for several reasons.):   ·         We are literally coming into the month of Nissan on the 24th of March.  I believe this date will be very significant in the days to come. ·         God’s instruction to Moses “to rear-up” the tabernacle was in Mt. Sinai (out from Egypt but before entering into Canaan.) also note: there was a decrease in those who really entered into Canaan. ·         The relevance to where the tabernacle was reared up also speaks “Do This Now!” the importance of timing--that now this preparation must take place. The process of cleansing, purification, and sanctification (and setting everything in its proper place.) was very important. This is not a time to put off anything that  God is prioritizing. ·         The tabernacle was God’s dwelling place and that in that place we are to understand how to worship, discern clearly and understand who Abba is and also learn how to abide in that place of safety and protection (Psalm 91).   The Lord further spoke: “Know within you is purpose and light. It will carry you through the darkest days and nights and will carry you through in the times of trouble. There is not a challenge, nor a problem that cannot be overcome. The first half of this month will carry strong days of great challenges but you will be able to stand because I have made you to stand. The second part of this month there will be some things that will be experienced as a result of the decisions that occurred previously-–you have not been this way before so you must listen and hear Me as I walk you through. Survival for yourself and others will be the order of the day.”   “Know that I am able to keep you and protect you but it is important that you must do all that I direct you to do. This is not a time to be idle. Even as you will rejoice in the provision that I will provide, move forward with great diligence and purpose. In order to initiate service to others you must seek out My wisdom on how to carry out things because there is an order as to how to do these things.”   Counterfeits, lies and Devouring Mouths As we entered into this year, we will begin to see the Kingdom of God become more established upon this earth. We must not forget Matthew 24:4, 11, 24, warns against false christ, and false prophets. We must guard against not only those who speak deceptions and teach false doctrine but we must earnestly contend for the faith. This year the secular prognosticators began it with a declaration to the world according to Chinese astrology that this is the year of the (Water) Dragon. (We do not believe nor endorse any of these things.) But we do know and understand that the spirit of Leviathan is where lies, deception and pride are in full operation. We are not ignorant of the enemy’s devices but our focus must be upon the preaching of the Gospel and the evangelizing of the nations.   We must be careful not to allow the devouring mouth of the enemy (who is the accuser of the brethren) to speak to us concerning others and get us engaged in unnecessary confrontations with each other. The Lord said to “Watch what we say and not to allow the enemy to take our words and use them against us.”   Prayer & Intercession We must continue to pray because prayers are having an impact. It is one thing to be aware of what is around us but there are many things within the prophetic word that must be bathed in prayer. We must pray concerning things such as premature war and devastation with earthquakes. We have seen natural shaking as well as shakings in the government and economic arena.   We must pray concerning the things that the Lord cautioned us about in the Word of the Lord in 2012—concerning the Media and sudden deaths of reporters (in Syria) and our present economic woes in the nations. (We have had so many resignations with CEO & CFO in banking systems across the globe, and the most of them in the month in February.) In this month we are going to find out why. We will see the fighting over oil reserves and changes in government heads throughout our nation(s) as well as those who are assisting those in leadership and the current changing of the guard. (See the Word of the Lord 2012 & February 2012). Our prayers are more significant than we know during these times of great change.

Word of the Lord for February 2012 & Beyond by Prophet Phyllis Ford

January 29, 2012        PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION “Daniel 2:21-22 And he changes the times and the seasons: he removes kings, and sets up kings: he give wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He reveal the deep and secret things: he know what is in the darkness, and the light dwell with him.”   “Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”  “This is a time where you will see the ranking order of nations/kingdoms shift. For the thrones of the enemy will come into full view this year. My glorious kingdom shall be fortified and further established by my sons that are being birthed forth as partakers of the promise that I am assembling from my heavenly throne. You will begin to see an aligning of those who I have called and prepared to rise up. It is time to declare your position and make known your rightful place says the Lord. I will give you the power of my authority to rule, to reign, to decree and declare as you progress throughout this year. In this time and even this month will mark several serious events that will come to pass because of my righteous judgments. The consequences of men have gone too far due to the sin of greed, pride and deceit.” “I am removing kings and setting up kings and now you will see the overturning and drastic changes of governments, economic systems and those who are in places of authority, there will be a transition and shift, and there will be those who will show their hands (and their hidden plans) as others exert their authority in the land. Within these systems there will be new revisions that have been put in place to help mend the old plans but they will not remedy their offer to help the current systems that are in need. The foundation built by greed and mammon are about to give way. At the same time there are evil plans that are being set in place and are ready to be implemented to attempt to add to the confusion and fear upon the land and the people. These external forces are demonic systems that will operate through natural enemies to try to bring forth destruction, chaos and fear. So several things will be in operation at the same time, because you are now on an accelerated course and you must take action so that my plan and purposes are fully carried out.” “Time is of the essence, be diligent in prayer and be vigilant. Watch for the signs that are before you. But also know that I will rebuild my people and I will complete the manifestation of my light and glory in order to restore that which the enemy is trying to destroy. I declare this now in the heavenlies before you; My heavenly government will arise in great might by my own hand, and all the plans that the enemy has set forth at this time for the destruction of my people will not SUCCEED. The time of advancing the work of the kingdom is now. For I will open up the two leaved gates and they shall not be shut, and I will set in place key things to strengthen your position for your provision. But you must carefully follow my instructions because there is great resistance to that which I am bringing forth. Don’t allow anything to frustrate you and distract you, nor to deter and hinder what is being supplied.” “It is important for you to focus upon building the most essential things and set them in order because you will have to initiate major plans in a short window of time. Know I have prepared all things and know that this is the hour that my people shall come forth with my wisdom to do my bidding upon the earth, in order to be prepared for the trouble that will occur. Listen carefully, It is important to hear clearly in order to know what to initiate and what to wait on because now everything has an order and everything has a set a time, and all must be completed in the right sequence to achieve the right results. In order to know these things you must stay in my presence. Watching and obeying is very significant right now.” “For the winds of change are blowing; and as the hands of the righteous have risen up—so shall the hands of those who render evil will be revealed. So you must not take anything for granted because much will be happening right now. In this hour you will make great strides toward good. Major victories will be won in the uncovering, but there will be also major challenges and minor setbacks. See things clearly for what they are, don’t allow your fears to over think your position. Watch and pray. Keep advancing and moving forward.” “Mighty doors will be open to you and great availability will be present before you and none shall hinder them. I will rain down righteousness upon those who have not denied my name and have aligned their lives according to my will and purposes. Remember that your greatest weapons of battle and protection are within you. Your faith, Prayer, praise, the declaration of my word, and the exercising of your inheritance in me are powerful tools that I have given you, according to my covenant. You are sons, my redeemed and that which I have set forth will arise out of you with great power and glory.” “You must recognize that even as there is a foreboding feeling of uncertainty and trouble, know that I am also moving forth to guide you, and instruct you. This is important for you now so that you will be able to handle the challenges of the day. I am protecting, preserving and even moving swiftly to help you counter the enemies’ plans. Your ability to accomplish every task has everything to do with that which has been given to you. These are being realized through the very love that is flowing from the heart of your Father, says the Lord.”   For those who feel stuck: “It is time to move on, move beyond the old places and experiences that you might have thought were significant. Places of hurt, lack, and not knowing what to do or where to go from here. But I say to you, your future is before you and what you move forth to establish far outweighs what you feel you have endured in the past. In fact these were stepping stones to cross over into a new hour, and a new plan in me. So don’t allow the troubles of the pass to hinder or stifle you---don’t look back continue to advance for the time of advancement has come. Look for me in the glory that shall come down in the midst of regions that are crying out before me. Look for me in the victory that didn’t seemingly look like it could happen, yet suddenly it came to pass. Look for me in great breakthroughs which will take place even in this month –you will see. Know I will be in the midst of you working out situations miraculously.”   Prophetic Insights: Much will be taking place in this month. It is one of the most significant months this year. The Lord began to speak to me about “thrones,” the evil ranks of the enemy that are in position. He also spoke concerning those whom He has positioned to overcome the works of the enemy. These clashes that are in conflict will affect the shifts in government that we will see. The Lord spoke to me about watching North Korea and that right now even though it may not seem apparent plans are already being set in place for major upheaval to come---Russia as well is planning. (these things were revealed to me during night watch prayers). The Lord spoke of several confrontations: “Nations will clash during this time. Some with power and influence will flex their strength to threatened and even to push/and intimidate with great sounds of authority. But there are those who are quietly planning who are the most dangerous in their rendering-–these silent enemies are like lions watching and waiting looking for a time to strike. Keep your eyes open and your spirit alert, for there are those who are preparing to move not with sound, but strike in dark silence.” Watchmen stand on your post. Keep your hour of watch----The Lord will meet us there and release to us strategies, battle plans, and show us areas of trouble ahead.    There are a series of sounds going on right now. The Lord spoke to me: “There is a sound that is coming from the earth. There is a sound in the atmosphere and there is a rumbling in the cities. One is the sound of travail upon the earth, and the other is a sound from those who are before me in intercession and prayer. Hear the sounds that are coming forth in this season and know also there shall be a sound of my judgment. For that which must come forth at this time will come forth. For this is the season of My release of glory and light to shine upon the dark places in the earth.” “The birthing process is now beginning and is being established. This is the time of my coming, and my appointing. Know that I am preparing you. In this month you shall see and shall hear the Rising up of my sons and daughters to awaken and come forth into the light of my glory. You shall signs in the heavens and upon the earth. These are all signs and signals leading to the turning of the events that will mold and shape the things that about to come forth, says the Lord.” Watch the last ten days concerning serious financial woes. (see Word of the Lord 2012).       Key scriptures: Joel 2:17-23, Isaiah 66:6-10, Psalm 122, Mt 19:28, Colossians 1:16, Wisdom 5:23, Daniel 2: 21-23.

The Word of the Lord for 2012 by Prophet Phyllis Ford

January 1, 2012            PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION This is a compilation of the Words that the Lord began to share with me during the months of October-December. Those that are in quotes are exactly as it was spoken, others were visions, and others were direct words spoken to me. Pray about what God will have you do after reading this word. "I shall rain down from heaven glory and light--and you shall know that this is my time of visitation to you as I release unto you My holy habitation. I have ordained for you to conquer and grow—achieve and walk in new realms of favor and grace as you enter into this first month of the year, I am releasing to you what you will need to maneuver and prepare for what will be coming. So receive from me as you go throughout this year for I will lead you, guide you and show you the way—to navigate through times where trouble and uncertainty will be challenging and you will feel that you don't quite know what to do. Understand that I have prepared you for this time, and I will show you exactly what to do as those  circumstances arise—I have placed in you the ability to overcome; to conquer, to win, to rule and to reign. You will not only survive but you will rejoice at how I will walk you through days that are consumed with crisis, famine and turmoil with a peace and understanding that there are certain things that will come to pass, that which I have spoken in my word concerning those things which will be fulfilled." "You are now walking in the biblical manifestation of my word--and so much will come to pass in this year, 2012. So incline your ear unto my words, listen closely and carefully, watch diligently and discern properly so that I may prepare you and unfold before your eyes that which will be established and was ordained before the foundations of the earth. The most important thing for you to know is that I love you and I have created you in my image and that there is nothing that you can't overcome when you walk in love and obedience to my word and do according to all I will show you, reveal to you as I deliver you through onto the other side of My glory." “Know that I am preparing your steps; I am breathing life and strengthening you as you stand in agreement with what I have declared you to be. I have laid up a divine portion that will carry you through and help you to accomplish that which is ahead. Not only have I placed in you what you need but I am providing you with the full benefits of My covenant. So press into my presence where you will receive the impartation of My reassurance that I have prepared you for in this hour.” “Great strides will be accomplished. I am also gathering forth my wounded warriors to assemble and receive the healing portion that I am placing upon them to be healed and restored so that may be able to fulfill the work ahead. It's time to heal, get better and bring others into healing. And those who seem to be wounded still, bring them to me so that I may love them, clothe them and cover them with my righteousness. This is the time and the rallying cry has been spoken. So press through, pray through, and break through so that you may receive all that I have for you my beloved. I am giving you my truth so that you may break out of areas of darkness into my light. Know and acquire my wisdom so you can receive the answers you need to carry you through the course of this year. It will keep you in hours of great trouble and you will overcome.”   "This will not be a time to let your emotions get the best of you to the point that you react negatively, to situations that you might face. But you must look to me for wisdom, understanding along with my promptings to let you know how to do what you must do in extreme situations because it can be critical to your survival, and ability to maneuver around certain problems that you must face. For I am bringing forth my judgments in the earth and that which I said in my word will be fulfilled.” “In this year because of such great uncertainty many will look to me, my word, and even my prophets for answers, in order to have a better understanding of what will be occurring in the land. Some of my people who I have raised up in this hour will be questioned: “what is happening?” and “how will this play out?” now that this has occurred. ”What can we do about this?” There will be meetings behind closed doors with great inquiries and frustration because of the hopeless situation that occurred. My people will not give them the answers that they are expecting, nor the answers they desire, because My people will answer in my wisdom and reproof.”  “Many people will begin to seek out the true church that is built upon the truth of my word with my love and the power of My Spirit. As I continue to call my sons and daughters into their rightful place as heirs of the promise, I will comfort and restore those who are broken and destitute. You will begin to see the persecution become stronger and stronger as this year ends. But the reality is that the world has been changing and moving against the church for some time, and as the year draws to an end greater and greater persecution will arise. But know that My people will become stronger and stronger as they grow into the kingdom of priest that I’ve called them to be before the foundation of the earth." “Know that through the foolishness of preaching that I will bring great light and a new understanding to those who have lost their way. You will achieve what needs to be achieved in this year and you will open a door even to understand the mysteries of my word being revealed now. For this is the time says the Lord: that eyes have not seen nor ears heard, neither has it entered into the hearts of men the things that I have prepared for those who love me. Yes this will be a time of great trouble a time of wars and warring, even catastrophic events that you have not yet seen at this magnitude. You must be convinced that I have called you for this hour and you will overcome. And your overcoming will be established in this year in a way that has never been accomplished in you before, and all will know that I, the Lord have done these things.” “I am building you up in places where you have not had the endurance and confidence to make it through but I say to you to mount up with wings as eagles, to soar above the obstacles and challenges you now face and not only will you make it through but you will blaze a trail for others to come forth in the power of my word and declare that all that you have learned and all that you have faced and all that you have endured has been for this time that victory may come forth in those who overcome.” Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Clash of Governments "This is a time when you will see the government of men clash and do battle within themselves and with others to the point that some of them will not survive the major trouble. Confrontations will give way to greater confusion and strife. This will reveal what their original intent was that everything was about power and money. There will be major fighting over oil reserves. But know even in the midst of the battle—I’ve called you, prepared you and brought you unto myself that you may rise up and become what I have called you to be. There will be proposals and promises between nations established one moment and broken the next throughout 2012, only to find out that they were never established upon sincerity but selfish motivations. The relationships amongst even those who were regarded as allies will be strained and short lived.” “This is the year where you will see governments form and government fail. Unfortunately in some regions people will become collateral damage to the mindset and choices from leadership that will be formed. As a result people, businesses and those who have means will move from one place to another to try to find peace and protection. Some will seem to do very well at first but then they will become inhabitants of forgotten regions.” “You will see leaders gather and leaders will arise but there will be no peace because the season of peace will not be in sight. You will begin to see alignment amongst the nations not because of good relationships but because of the character of their leadership--you will see whether they will be the light or whether they will be of darkness whether they will be of Me, says the Lord or of the Devil, whether they will be sheep nations or goat nations. You will know before the end of 2012, which ones they will be.” The Political Scene “Some of the worst political fire storms with mudslinging that will carry every type of scandal that can come out will take place on the political scene. Foreign nations will be involved in conspiracies to kill, overthrow and even illegally involve their political opponents both here and in other countries as well. Russia will undergo a fight for power within their leadership. There will be a changing of the guard amongst some of the major regions and as new leaders take over their regions, the regions will begin take on the character of the leadership that will then represent them. There will be great power plays between the nations in Europe and its new alliances will form to take on “a new government” in a face of a dying economy. This is all a precursor to the system reforms that will be imposed upon the land as it has been revealed in my word. Upheaval within old allies as well, will arise as they fight amongst each other to gain power and influence.” Media Troubles There will be several people who are in the media that will lose their lives in the midst of heated and very dangerous assignments—much caution will be used as they go into other regions to report the news. As a result you will see a growing fear that will come upon those being assigned to volatile encounters. Some will be taken as hostages and the government will have to seriously intervene to get them out.   Our Financial Woes “The financial world will drastically change as you know it now. New forms of financing will come and go. February will be the month that many banks will go belly up and there will be a shock that will impact this region; many will ask how it could happen in the midst of things that seem to be in recovery? From the beginning of the year up to February the markets will fluctuate with drastic highs and lows.” The Lord said, “Eventually, even countries that were looked upon as being stable will collapse under the waves and waves of financial darkness. Then the financial systems will come to a halt and world economist, with great financial minds will meet to attempt to come up with solutions, only to find that no one has the ability to bail out the other. New systems will cease to remedy the situations—there will be bartering and trading to try and lighten the problems, they will be facing.” “Anger will rise up at the leadership as to how and why did the leaders of this nation and other nations allowed them to get into their current conditions. This will lead to more uprising, frustration and fear. Violence will begin to crop up in various places and lives will be lost because of fear and famine. There will be first world countries with third world crisis with the United States right in the very midst.” The Lord said "Help will come forth in the midst of even this kind of trouble because of everyday people with hearts of compassion that will rise up to help others, those who were diligent and stored before the time of famine, they will come together and work through some solutions. They will rise up through the land and they will bear up one another with love and strength, so that many won’t fall by the wayside. They will become families to others who have no families and will share what they have stored up.”    Strong Discernment and Our Commitment to Truth “False doctrines will arise with arguments over side issues that can negatively influence the simple understanding of truth.” We must have strong discernment, a commitment to truth and the discerning of spirits in order to differentiate one from another. “The true prophets and apostles of today will continue to teach sound doctrine as they earnestly contend for the faith and many will be restored.” One night in prayer the Lord said, “there will be great deception that will revolve around alien encounters.” Prophetic Insights: One of the most profound things that the Lord said during my time of seeking Him, that in 2012, that He was releasing His wisdom upon the earth and upon His people so that He may preserve a people.  He was choosing the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.  1 Corinthians 1:27 "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty'" Everything that we will see concerning the release our God’s wisdom will have to do with His timing, The Lord says that He has worked before time (as He goes before us), He is working in time and He is working on time—that His word may be established: •              In this hour He will release His wisdom (unveiling the mysteries of His word), •              During this time He will reveal His understanding and knowledge concerning our destiny and the assignments (His direction for our lives) that will released to us. •              In this season His timing will have a redemptive plan based on His love for us and the fulfillment of His covenant promises. The Lord’s manifold wisdom is the key strategy for the end times. It is a great gathering of His people who will by spiritual alignment come forth to declare the cause of Christ in the earth. It is the wisdom of God that has a redemptive plan of salvation and bringing the body into true Sonship in this time. It will not happen overnight but it will be a process worked out in these next couple of years. It has been already established before the foundations of the earth and we will walk out the Father's will in this time. We are in the timing that lines up with what was revealed to the prophet Daniel. Its foundation has been established and we are right in the timeline for us to become His bride that is being prepared in this hour and to come. The Lord told me that within these next couple years will see the culmination of the manifold wisdom of God that is spoken of in Ephesians chapter three. His wisdom is everything that is formed within the counsel of His will; it addresses our various levels of growth and understanding of being the manifested sons of God and speaks of the process by which we are built up in Him. It has to do with a people being prepared with all its similarities and diversities to be revealed as His bride in the time to come. It also consists of the beauty of His Holiness and a well ordered and strategic plan for His people.  We have entered into the New Day Anointing and there will be several indication of this move in 2012. •              The Lord shall visit His people and we shall go from the time of visitation into entering His Holy   Habitation. He will be our place of refuge, strength and dominion. •              We will no longer be able to halt between two opinions. We must decide whether the Lord will inhabit us or the spirit of the world or unclean spirits. When our choice is the Lord He will guide us, purify us and preserve us.   Job 10:12 Thou hast granted me life and favor and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. Exodus 15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. "In the work of the Kingdom you will see me gather the company of my people, that will come together to minister to the needs of many. Those who will by example demonstrate what should be done in this hour. They will gather to pray together, move together, walk together according to my will and purpose, says the Lord." (See vision #5). Prayer is one of the most significant moves that we will see moving forth in the land during 2012, and it has already begun. (see Hour of the Watch, December 2011). The Lord will move mightily in the midst of a nation of His people, a company of nation(alities) (many cultures all moving forward for the cause of Christ in the earth.) "The emphasis will not be upon individuals but the unity of many, says the Lord. They will rise up with an overcoming anointing upon them" Genesis 35:11 KJV And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins. Visions 1.) I saw a silhouette of a woman—at a table, in which there were papers moving across a desk. The Lord said, "She will come into great prominence and she would lead many astray, she will levy many policies and will change the very nature of the nation that she represents and her motives will be evil, but she will be uncovered.” The Lord said this is all a part of the future that is to come. He said, “When you see these things do not become disheartened because I have prepared a remnant for this hour who will know what to do and who are ready to move forth with glory upon them to bring forth the harvest into My kingdom, My people will pray and prepare others with my light and my truth with power and dominion. You will see those who will not compromise but who will become warriors for the cause of Christ in the earth. Many will see and many will know that the count down for walking through the end of days has begun.”  2.) In late October I saw a vision of an underground facility that resembled an old bunker type with various tunnels. There are underground facilities that the people are going to become aware of some of them very old so old until if they are used they would not hold up and could wind up being a tomb more than a place of safety. 3.) I had a starling vision of many livestock dying and I prayed about it the Lord revealed to me that the additives in their feed would have a carry some kind of chemical agent that would kill the livestock and so many animals and meat would have to be destroyed. Also to watch tainted dog food. In prayer the Lord spoke to me about bio-chemical warfare--(I am not one who could fully understand what) He was saying but I believe that there will be problems that will arise from our research that will engineer dangerous chemical reactions that will set off serious diseases these chemicals if in the wrong hands, could be used against us in times of attacks of terrorism and war.  (consider change wording) I cannot emphasize water and food storage, we have been saying it over and over but for those of you who don't have any--please prayerfully consider. I believe that we will find out about our drinking water suddenly and without prior notice so we need to be prepared.    4.) I had a vision of a map and the Lord showed me the east coast of the US as a major target. I saw some cities resembling war zones with buildings partially standing and others destroyed. (They appeared to look like government buildings with flags).  I was in intercession over the cities, prayed for divine protection against terrorism and outbreaks of war—the Lord prompted me to pray concerning  enemies unifying together to fight against US. The Lord showed me that DC was a major target (saw a bulls-eye) over that region . We must also pray around drone attacks.      5.) I saw large groups of people in worship and praise to the Lord and saw such a glow-like glory in the atmosphere--glory gatherings, miracles taking place, some were touched by the awesome presence of God, others were not wanting to be changed—the Lord said, “that many will witness My visitations and enter into My Holy Habitation.” I saw great moves of God were not from individuals ministering, but it was the unity and the love of Christ, ministers working together. “For I will be in the groups, troops and even companies of prophets and apostles, groups of ministers, worshippers, says the Lord, under a powerful umbrella of my corporate anointing.” 6.) I had an unusual experience recently when I was asleep and I felt a shaking to the point that I woke up. I could actually feel a major earthquake (but I wasn’t shaking) I had this feeling of another massive earthquake like Japan soon to come.) I saw a sign in a vision, a sign that was broken and covered with dirt. I saw the letters (Sum). I begin to look up regions. There is a Sumatra Indonesia. It also could be a region, a city, or near a body of water but in the vision there is great devastation all around. (Areas with those letters are Summit, New Jersey; Summit, Ohio; Lee's Summit, Missouri; Sumy, Ukraine; Summit Lake, Canada.) (In November—The Lord instructed me to pray over Sugarland—so we begin to pray over that region in Sugarland, Texas. So let’s continue to do so.) 7.) Several times I have had visions concerning New Madrid. They have been troubling because water was covered over land masses with certain areas washed out. Recently I heard a cry come upon the land liken to voice of intercession and people moving quickly to avert danger in certain areas near that fault-line. Coastal areas are shifting and continually shifting. 8.) I have witness visions concerning evil winds of tornadoes, along with great devastation as a result of coming storms--I believe that they reveal to us as watchman & intercessors a great need to pray around weather conditions—we will see weather patterns that will be unexpected and even weather conditions that will go beyond the normal. But I believe that the symbolism represents that we will have storms ahead of us—I believe that conveys to us is that we are looking in the face of terrorism this coming year with wars and uprisings. In my time of prayer I heard “pre-empted strike.” But we are praying that this would not occur unless it is within the counsel of God’s will. The timings of God must move forward in His wisdom.    A Personal Message from Prophet Phyllis Ford to all current subscribers: I am personally asking you to stretch out in the area of giving and a sow a seed into this ministry—we are preparing to launch Apostolic Prophetic Leadership Ministry Training with schools of Apostolic Prophetic Ministry, Discipleship, Prayer Evangelism including Youth Ministries, with Live Streaming available.

The Hour of the Watch by Prophet Phyllis Ford

December 5,2011          PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION Prophetic Insights: As prayer begins to take center stage in the midst of the hour that we have approached, I believe that we are probably standing at the most important time of release that we will receive from the Lord. Prayer is key to obtaining the secret anointing oil in these last days. We will need it more than ever during this month. The ability to hear God, find out where we need to be and how we need to get there is a priority now. The best vehicle to help us understand as we navigate through trouble times will be found in our (GPS) God’s Prayer System. Through that layered system of prayer, our watching before Him and our receiving the times of refreshing many things will become clear, revealed and properly discerned. Our understanding will increase as our love deepens for the Lord with whom we fellowship and receive counsel. Utilizing our GPS will become the most effective way to replenish what we are missing. It will strengthen areas of us where we lack the ability/wisdom in a matter. It is definitely a door we must enter into, in order to understand what is going around us. If we lack discipline in our life, in the future it might determine whether we will overcome the perils of tomorrow or succumb to the challenges of the day.  We are approaching the new day and there are many challenges before us, it is the time that we utilize even brandish key weapons and strategies that the work of God may be accomplished in us. God wants us, unconditionally, not on our time, but on His time. It's important for us to be what He has called us to be--The walk, the calling, gifting’s are all being fine-tuned now as we press in before His presence---His Heart is to prepare us for this next hour. We are turning a major corner and we will now see God’s wisdom activated in us (that was already there) come alive so that we may walk purposefully. Much to be done—and the clock is ticking. What we are looking for in areas of manifestation has so much to do with us and what are we doing. Will we prepare? Will we get ready? Is what we are doing lining up with what we are expecting God to do for us?   The Hour of the Watch The Lord spoke in me that in this month of December that we have now entered into the hour of the watch—when the watch in times of prayer before Him can be extremely significance but also powerfully effective in this hour. In the word of God there are scriptures that point to very important events, battles, and victories. At these particular times (the hour of that watch) conveyed significant events that could give us guidelines and strategies in prayer. In military terms “watch” was referred to as the time that various military personnel were to stand guard to make sure there were no surprise attacks from the approaching enemy. The watchman, in the word of God, was uniquely positioned so they could warn the city as to what was coming and to prepare the people before it arrived. Many of God’s people are in watch mode in this hour. They are watching, waiting before the presence of the Lord. They are crying out before the Lord in prayer over their nations. I am going to share the two watches that the Lord spoke to me and instructed that they would be very significant in this hour. Prayer at whatever time we pray is always strategic whenever it is released. Let’s look at the following two watches—and they relate to the prayers that we should pray during this month of December. God’s manifold wisdom carry within it His counsel concerning us, it includes His plan of redemption, it speaks into our destinies, and carries within it timing and manifestation of things to come.  Let me qualify, there are many interpretations, versions, patterns on “watches.” I will be sharing the one guideline that I use and some of its strategies. I encourage you to pray for greater revelation, dig deeper, and ask God to teach you concerning prayer watches. As you look closer in God’s word we see Jesus praying during the night before the Father. (Matthew 14:22-23, Mark 1:35, Luke 11:4, Mark 14:32, Luke 5:15-16 and more). Paul speaks of his time of watchings. (2 Corinthians 6:5, 2 Corinthians 11:27). These scriptures will enlighten you—encourage you to come closer to Him your time of prayer and consecration. Many of you are already watchmen on the wall. Let’s now pray for those learning about prayer watches. Because the Lord is raising up a powerful army of prayer warriors that are serious about the things of God and are ready to be deployed for duty in this hour.     The Prayer Strategy December is the 12th month and we are approaching the year 2012. The Lord showed me a strategy that during (December) the 12th month that we should pray during the 2nd & 3rd watch hour. (They both contain midnight-the 12th hour.) The 2nd watch covers 9pm to 12am midnight. The 3rd watch covers 12am midnight and 3am. So we pray through this window of December that these things come to pass—In Jesus Name.   Praying through the 2nd Watch  (9pm to 12am midnight) At midnight Paul & Silas prayed and sang songs of praise. (Acts 23:23) Prayer and Praise will be a mighty weapon in the hands of the God’s people. This is a time to pray to break people free from bondages imposed by man and the enemy. Pray that in the month of December: ·        We need to pray for our family members salvation—(the jailer and his family were saved.)   ·        Press in and pray for those who are incarcerated and are going through their most lonely times. Decree that some of the greatest revivals are going to occur in the prisons. ·        Praying through the 2nd watch which includes the hour that the Egyptians gave the Children of Israel some of their possessions before they left Egypt. Only God can touch a people to render their substance to others, this was great favor. Pray for Israel’s favor and protection in this hour. Pray for favor to be released upon the people of God. Pray that those who need to transition from the place where they are to places of safety & deliverance, in December.   ·        Pray for the outpouring of prayer in our houses, our churches, our cities—pray for prayer revivals, prayer gatherings and that blankets & canopies of prayer will be released over the land and the people during December. ·         Pray that God’s people would be awaken out of their slumber and come into the place of Gethsemane where prayer with Jesus will strengthen them. Pray for protection from trials and temptations that we might face in this hour. ·         Pray that things that we need for the kingdom would be released in this hour. That as the supplies were gathered, for the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness, that the provision for the work of God will be released to feed, clothe and provide water, housing to people who will most need it in this month of December. Praying through the third watch:      (12am midnight to 3am) in the month of Dec. 2011 ·        Pray that in the month of December people will come out of slumber and awaken to salvation, their destinies, their purposes as well as fulfillment of the work of the Kingdom. (There are several biblical references of slumber happened during midnight (Acts 20:7-12, Matthew 13:25, Ruth 3:1-10).  ·        This is a time of heighten level of satanic activity. Come against the spirit of violence & terrors in the night. Psalm 91—pray Ps 68:1 Let God arise and His enemies be scattered, let them also that hate him flee before him. Ps 68:4 Praise the name of the Lord. Ps 68:9 Pray down the rain of heaven. So much in that Psalm to pray forth in December. ·        Pray that the leadership of God would come together to pray, break bread until the breaking of the day (even through the breaking into 2012). Pray in December that   unity, commitment, fellowship, dedication for the work of God would supersede titles, and our own shortcomings. Pray for a divine intervention to come upon the people of God as they gather. Miracles, signs and wonders, (Act 20:7-12) ·        Pray that the people of God hearts would turn towards the understanding of His righteous judgments, and his precepts. In the month of December. Pray that Israel’s heart would turn towards the Messiah in this hour. Pray to cover and protect Israel leadership and land in this time. (Psalms 119:62) ·        Pray that the spirit of diligence that was upon Paul and the crew, the mercies of God that the men experienced getting through the perils of the night would be upon God’s people to help us in upcoming challenges that we face. (Acts 27:25-44) Speak to every storm of peril, terrorism attacks, violence upon our land in this month. Speak peace in Jesus name. ·        Pray for a heighten level of consecration in prayer would come upon the people. (Mark 1:35) Jesus taught the disciples how to pray—there is a key for us in this one. (Luke 11:5) State your major cases before God in the court of heaven in December before 2012. There is so much you can pray through with the “The Lord Prayer” including emergency provisions for coming trouble, the important thing is the praying forth the Kingdom—that God’s Kingdom come, God’s will be done. (Luke 11). ·        Pray for marriages to be healed and whole, for those who God has ordained to be married in this season, that we all come into a new revelation of the mystery of Christ and the church. Pray that in the midnight (whenever that might be) when the bridegroom comes—we would be ready & prepared to go out to meet Him. Please note that at midnight Boaz woke up at midnight and saw Ruth at his feet. I have only scraped the surface but my prayer is that you will pray no matter what. If all of us would be on our watch and pray into various windows during various time zones, can you imagine the effects that could occur? The word of God is packed with events where men and women prayed and how mighty things begin to happen, shake, change even rendered help in the course and destinies of God’s people. Let’s not just pray, but pray through. Scriptures about watches: (Ex 14:24, Judges 7:19, 1 Samuel 11:11, Ps 90:4, Lam 2:19, Ps 119:148). Special Note:  Pray over all previous prayer notes especially for Nov.-Dec. Intercessors and watchmen have been feeling serious concerns for our nation. There has been growing concerns about acts of terrorism, war, preemptive strikes. Food crisis, water crisis, and even livestock have been areas of prayer. Acts of violence within our land is also a prayer concerns. Earthquakes are still a major concern, so we continue to pray. I remember the Lord said that something would occur during this time that would have a serious effect on the political arena. The Lord told me that our economy is on a serious course and may not hold up throughout this month of December. There is something unforeseen that will possibly affect its present state. We have a short to almost no window of time left to turn around our economy before 2012. The Word of the Lord Nov.—Dec. 2011 stated that by the end of November the nations would be at a point of confusion as to how to get the economy back on course. (The end of November 2011 we saw that actually play out.)  We must pray and the God of Heaven will hear us and reveal to us divine instructions, ways of escape and reversals of the enemy’s devices. Remember at midnight although the system had bound (Paul & Silas) but God shook that system to its core and that same system had to release them. It became a testimony to their victory. God prepared a door for them to come out of that which imprisoned them. Watch what God is preparing for us.

Word of the Lord for November & December 2011 by Prophet Phyllis Ford

November 2, 2011 Psalms 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed what can the righteous do? Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the Apostles & Prophets, Jesus Christ himself as the cheif cornerstone. Hebrews 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.  Prophetic Insights: This is a compilation of the word of the Lord for the next two months, I will updating you in these next two months concerning whatever the Lord shares with me including Israel, prayer (which is about to take center stage), prophetic signposts, the significance of prayer watches, prayers and hours of the watch as well as other important issues. Much of what will be occurring in these two months leading up to 2012 contains events that will point to serious prayers being required and will carry an impact on the next two years. As a great man of God said years ago "Many times failures that we see in these present days are prayer failures." The more mobilizing and strategizing that is done along these lines will result in actual keys for great change and reformation.  We are about to see conditions worsen and improve all at the same time and the more we see problems presented the more people will arise and take their rightful places.  Sober minded, tireless, fearless and committed prayer warriors/ watchmen will be prepared to usher in change and transformation through prayer. They will follow up with the strategies of God to set and reestablish the foundations that have been destroyed. This word will encourage us and hopefully convince us that we must not only rely on leadership to pray but everyone should enlist and engage into the prayer process. We are going to be amazed at what prayer can and will do. For those of you who were already convinced to do so, you will rejoice as others join in and I believe we will see "the suddenlies" of God come forth and strongholds destroyed. We as a part of the government of God must ultimately rise up to transform and impact our nation.  We must stand with the armor of God ready to do battle to the spiritual enemies of our day. There are a series of events that will take place that are significant: financial upheavals, social unrest, government upheavals, rapid changing weather conditions, earthquakes (over 5.5 even several within the same day),  and acts of terrorism within our borders . We must pray. Store up water (a water crisis is coming in addition to a food crisis.) (See coming 2012 WOTL). It's important to read over October's word because I believe that there will be more things that will happen during this time as well. I hear God saying: 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. "    Now for the word of the Lord:      I am setting up and establishing new foundations and clearing the way for the framework to be done because the foundation that has been previously laid has been compromised. So you will see a process of tearing down and rebuilding coming forth because the government, the present economic state and the moral fiber of this nation has become tainted and polluted by the pride, greed and the selfishness of man. You will begin to see a new foundation laid from my own hand, built upon by integrity, righteousness, and My word. Much of the blessings I have desired to release could not be released because of the actions of men. You are about to see the patterns that have been declared and was founded in the heavens be established upon this earth. In the very midst of this there will continue to be a shaking and all that can be shaken will be shaken and those things that are not shaken will remain so receive My kingdom, be established in my anointing and walk in the grace of My love. I am calling forth My remnant to start the restoration process, it is a necessary process so that the greater work may be manifest says the Lord. Know that if the foundations be truth, the building will stand because it bears My word and is founded upon My name. There is about to be more financial upheaval in this nation just as foreign nations find out that all their efforts to fix and sure up the world economy will not succeed, for it will be a temporary fix to a serious problem that will not go away. The temporary rallying will only result in further decline. So that by the end of November, there will be much confusion around how to get the economy on its feet because of the economic turmoil taking place. There will be new unforeseen problems that will arise as well. So you must stay before My presence and rely on My instructions and prepare. Before this year ends, food resources, water and general necessities will be in at a crisis level, and in the midst of these things fear will grip the people; violence will erupt in many places.  The necessity of prayer will cause many to take up this important mandate in the midst of this turmoil and there will be those who are not afraid -- who have been prepared to rise up, pray, mobilize, and strategize in order to avert the clashes that are coming in future conflicts. For I am calling forth My watchmen to wait, watch, and prepare the people. There will be those who are called by My name and you will see the power of prayer manifest in the midst of real trouble. For My people will arise and a new strength will come forth and many will gather. This is a time that a great reforming will begin to incurr and My people will rise up to establish My word and sound doctrine will begin to tear down falsehood. And even as more deception will appear, more truth will be established bringing forth great deliverances.  Apostles will arise fearless to rebuild My government upon this earth. In the building of My government, the land, the people and the work of My Kingdom will be done on this earth as in heaven. My Prophets will uncover more and more falsehood and lies and will literally draw a dividing line on that which is evil, false and without merit. They will provide greater clarity of the things that must be understood according to My word. Much deception has been used even using scriptures about things that were not true. My people must walk in a strong level of discernment concerning what is true and what is deception. For you will hear those who speak lies. That will call evil good and good evil. You must know Me in order to properly discern. Many of My people are being sent down the wrong path. Know My word; have a listening ear and a teachable heart. Do not allow others to teach you when there is anger, hatred, prejudice, violence, selfishness, and greed at the foundation of what they say. Principles built upon these things in the face of change are not from Me and it is a dangerous mixture to build anything upon it. Know that in the midst of trouble -- I will be with you, walking with you instructing you, leading you and guiding you. Even providing you with key resources right before major upheaval so you may overcome. I have always had a covenant with you, My people and I will fulfill all which I have promised--I will raise you up--My people in the midst of all that might seem to trouble you--and there will be those who will come forth to implement My work. Look for the seeds of revival to be planted and watered where you will come in and be refreshed from My presence of My anointing oil and love coming down upon you like liquid fire, burning away the dross, refining and purifying My people. Removing all filthiness of flesh, touching hearts and minds. I will circumcise hearts and unclutter minds of those who cry out and wait upon Me -- I will remove years of hurt and pain from the past. I will do a deep cleansing work and you will be free. Set your face like a flint in this hour and do not be dismayed, for I will uphold you with My right hand says the Lord, and I will reestablish you on a sure foundation.   Prophetic Intercession: 1.) Continue to pray around earthquake activity with a tsunami alert. The Lord told me about an earthquake in the middle east (see Sept WOTL Part 2 Iran 5.0+ & Turkey 7.2 earthquake). I have been concerned that we are about to see before the Year's end an earthquake magnitude 8.0+. Volcanos also a concern around island terrain. 2.) The Lord called out Sugarland so lets pray around that region for protection against the spirit of violence. 3.) The Lord said that several events would occur in December, that would take place and would significantly change the political arena. 4.) Pray concerning subversive groups who will unify for evil purposes. (uncover all hidden works of the enemy). Pray around planned attacks. Pray to avert acts of violence that will give way to more serious attacks. Pray around groups that might plan violence near government facilities, banks, and even large office buildings. 5.) Pray around "suddenlies" that God would be glorified!! 6.) Pray to avert the enemies’ ambushes (random attacks of terrorism and evil works even within our own borders). Come against the spirit of murder and violence. Especially domestic terrorism. Pray that covert operations will be uncovered. Pray around malls and around the Holidays, where large crowds gather. (Thanksgiving & Christmas). 7.) Pray around and watch over and around our water systems and livestock. I now have a facebook page and a twitter account.

Word of the Lord October 2011 by Prophet Phyllis Ford

October 3, 2011 PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION   You are my people and I am giving you the resources, the strength, and even my grace to move forward and to conquer and acquire on many levels. I desire not only for your needs to be met but for your way to be made and the path already prepared because as you come into this new season you will see events occur that will assist you as well as prepare you for victory as you come forth as Kings and Priest in the earth.   This season has ushered in a new hope and a new level of faith with waves of praise and worship that will come forth out of the mouths of my people who will speak forth things of great gladness & joy. This is a new time and I am preparing a new way, a wave of my presence, that will sweep over the land, this wave will come forth like a tsunami, a new wave of glory like never before.   There shall also be a cleansing and a washing away coming upon the land and this has begun in this specific hour, it will not be hindered, says the Lord. So as you will see the travail of this land, you will also see those who will rise to the occasion and declare words of power and might and the works of my hand shall be established in the hearts of My people.   So embrace the waves of my glory that will come forth, embrace my anointing and the love of my truth which will tear down and uproot strongholds that will try to set deception in the land ---allow me to release that which I have already placed in you which is able to overcome the works of the enemy that has set fear amongst the people.   This is a time not for you to focus on what you have been through but where you are going. Time to focus on what I have called to you and even more so what I have already placed in your hands to accomplish the task ahead, so stay positioned, before my presence because this is that which will transform your life and impart to you what you need for the journey ahead. The glory which I am placing in you and upon you will help you overcome the weariness of your trials and all the times of the past, and reposition you into becoming that which is most important now—your repositioning has everything to do with being able to refocus, implement and establish the work ahead. You will not be able to make the transition if you allow the things of the past to hinder the vision which has been set before you.   I have prepared keys, blueprints and patterns that I am releasing now to enable you to initiate and better understand what must be done. Staying in my word and in my presence will be essential as I give you the keys to unlock the mysteries in my word and better understanding great truths that you will need in order to lay hold to the destiny that is being revealed in you in this hour. You will need to know what is required to lead others and understand the glory that I am releasing upon you that will enable you to soar above the plots and devices of the enemy.   ·        The blueprints that I am showing you are from patterns that have been established before the foundations of the world. They are new to you because you as a people are just arriving to the time of the fulfillment of these things to come. ·        They will help you understand the inner workings of the Kingdom and what must be utilized, even the building process. It’s essential for you to not just understand the importance of ruling and reigning but it is also important to understand how to rule and reign in the midst of trouble and uncertainty. ·        It’s essential to walk in the instructions I’ve given you and to be quick to obey my instructions. The patterns and blueprints are strategies that are being revealed in my word that you must not only know but be able to access by faith according to what I have placed in you and you must walk in them so that you will be victorious. ·        Your understanding of identity—understanding of being created in my image and likeness has everything to do with being able to overcome the obstacles you now face.   But know this –this is the hour and the time of great transition, of learning how to be complete in me and not walking in fear but a higher level of faith. It will determine how much you will be able to overcome and how you will be able to help others crossover.   These next three months October, November and December will prepare you for some serious events, even decisions that are being made in governments, in the nations throughout the land and your nation as well which will impact the next two years.   This is a significant time for the watchman, the purpose of the watch and even the hour of the watch. The troubles of this nation must be bathed in prayer for in that place of prayer remedies and strategies will come forth.   During this time you will see great light and great darkness, a people prepared and a crying out of a people. The hands of great strength and the hands of those who are full of iniquity. Trouble that will come but also those who will rebuild in the midst of trouble. Prepare your heart and allow me to direct your life so that you will be ready for that which is being set before you. Don’t allow fear to overtake you but challenge fear with a greater level of faith, a deeper reliance upon me for I will direct you, protect you, even push you forward to achieve what I have called you to be. For in the crucible of the coming uncertainties I will bring you forth as righteousness ones to gather with others who will walk in my anointing and power.    So it is important that you don’t allow fear to grip you, deter you or keep you from advancing now. If you will turn away from the fear that is so strong and prevalent in the land you will rise up and do exploits even beyond what you ever thought possible because your faith will rise to the occasion with the strength of my glory to walk in places in me that you have not walked before.   I have said that great challenges are coming in terrorism upon your land, earthquakes and with great changes in government and the like but know I have a covenant that I have established that will not be broken. In this hour you will see the diversity of things to come but set your face like a flint and walk out the strategies that will be implemented in this hour and much will be accomplished. The time of acceleration has begun but also I am accelerating that which I placed in you, you will stand, you will advance and you will accomplish the assignments before you. Know that I am moving upon the land and I am moving upon my people so that they may fulfill the work ahead and see the results of that which is a part of my covenant promises. Keep your eyes upon the harvest….don’t allow the harvest of those who need me to fall by the wayside. Bring them to me. Bring those who are hurt, those who are angry, and those who don’t understand. Bring them to me—bring those who need peace and they will come to know and understand that there exist a peace that passes all understanding. There can be trouble in the land but you can have peace in your spirit that will lead you and guide you through the storms.   Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.   John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.   Many will be waiting for you asking questions, needing your help, wanting to change but not knowing what to do. Will you lead them forward? ---Will you mark this time as those who heard their Lord and obeyed? The hour is before you know now don’t let it pass you by, says the Lord.     Prophetic Insights : In this month of October—the Joy of Lord and praises of God’s people will change and even alter how things are dealt with and the answers and solutions to problems will come. The new song and the worship of the Lord has been ushered into this new season releasing a Holy Reverence unto the Lord. The People of God will inhabited the praises of God and a transformation of the wineskins will come in the appearance of the God’s people. The redeemed of the Lord will reflect the strength that can only come from the glory unto His name and the peace of God will come in and the quell the troubles and calm the storms within their hearts. In this worship and waves of glory the people will go forth with new hope and an awesome level of faith to lead them into finding the way, the remedies and the strength of God to obtain answers and see great results. The Lord spoke Psalm 24. Something powerfully in the realm of the spirit has happened as we are passing through the feasts of the Lord now and entering into this month of October carrying the inspiration and power to overcome and it is even shifting some things in the atmosphere. The Lord is preparing his people with His glory and the people of God will not operate out of what they see but who they are.   (KJV) Daniel 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.     Prayer alerts: we continue to pray over the regions mentioned in September’s word. There has been a strong indication of a tsunami alert. I now have a facebook page and a twitter account. To become part of my social network go to:  www.facebook.com/phyllisfordministries and send me a friend request and I will be sure to accept. You can follow me on twitter @Prophet_Phyllis.

Word of the Lord September 2011 Part 2 by Prophet Phyllis Ford

September 19, 2011 PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION The Lord’s word concerning Israel     When the Word of the Lord comes forth out of Zion it will come forth with a shout! For I will send forth my angels and send forth my army and My  shout (of the Lord) will be as a roar, for my people will not be forsaken nor will they be downtrodden but they shall be victorious. And their enemies will know for the hand of the Lord shall be strong. For my people will not be mistreated nor shall their land be plundered for I shall protect them with my own hand, says the Lord.   Joel 3:16 KJV The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.   Terrorism Terrorism lurks over your nation with an eye for revenge and retaliation. You must pray because preparations are being made, plans are being made for destruction, even decoys are being made to confuse and set fear in the hearts of the people. So let prayer go forth out of the sanctuary, let prayer go forth between the porch and the altar and from the cries of the righteous and I shall hear on high and save with my mighty hand. Destruction is coming to this nation for her sins are many and she has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Let the cries of repentance come forth on her behalf, for the prayers of the righteous will be heard in My sanctuary, says the Lord.   Rise up & Harvest Rise up from this place of many questions and wondering, will we make it? Will we survive? Are we doomed? Is our time over? Are we consumed?  Rise up and say it is time to hear My voice crying in the wilderness. Repent! Repent! Yield fruits unto righteousness for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. It is time to become the body of believers that I have called you to be before the foundations of the earth. Arise oh My people rise up with My glory and My grace. Arise with my anointing for this is the time to set the captives free. The harvest is before you and it is time to put in the sickle and do the work that I have called you to do. Will you gather the harvest? For there will be loss and devastation and the harvest must be reaped now. Turn your weapons of war into harvest instruments and reap the harvest. It is ripe and my people must come forth.   Isaiah 41: 15KJV Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.   Arise & Shine Arise & Shine for thy light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. You must rise up as a nation of believers and declare the word of the Lord ---come forth my people into the light, into my glory and live says the Lord. Be my people and I will be your God. There’s about to be great change in this nation and you will see loss but know this is the time that my people will rise up in this hour and boldly declare the gospel for it is life, it is light, and it is the strength by which my people will live and be whole, says the Lord. It will be food for life and life for the strength of their souls. For My Word will be their strength to make it through the hardest of times. My covenant shall continue to be upheld and my glory shall be revealed, for they will possess it and walk in it, says the Lord. For help shall come forth from within her ranks –these are my end-time warriors, my true leadership that I have fashioned and prepared for this time, my Remnant.   There is more trouble and more shakings coming to this earth but I will also cover and protect. Some things I have allowed to occur. The proud have refused to harken to my voice; they have concluded that they are right, they are justified but I am judging these things and with others I have withheld my hand. Many will hear, know and understand that the time is well spent and there has not been significant change; so know that which was held back is now coming forth.   Financial Shifts A financial wave of increase will come but it will be short lived, those who receive it will have to know what to do and how to do what they must do in the short window of time allowed. It must be designated for kingdom purposes. Also coming on the heels of this will be financial upheaval. This is because of the worship of mammon. Much of what is wrong today in this nation has been because mammon have been sought out and exalted over   my will and purposes which I have established.  October and November will show periods of short term financial rallies in the market place only to flat line in the face of a sudden coming disaster upon the land.   Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.   The Middle East Devastation is also coming to certain areas of the Middle East. (The Lord gave no specific time on this occurrence.)   Prophetic Insights During my time of consecration the Lord gave me the 27th of September as a date of a possible catastrophe event. I told my daughter to post it on fb so that intercessors could pray. (that was the 14th of Sept) since then it has become the most talked about date of this month for various reasons. Intercessors please continue to pray around areas previously mentioned in WOTL Sept 2011 Part 1. I now have a facebook page and a twitter account. To become part of my social network go to:  www.facebook.com/phyllisfordministries and send me a friend request and I will be sure to accept. You can follow me on twitter @Prophet_Phyllis.

Word of the Lord September 2011 and Beyond, Part 1 by Prophet Phyllis Ford

August 28, 2011 PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION This is the time when you will have to look to me for everything from your food, necessities, instructions, life, survival to every aspect of circumstances because the further and further you go through this month the more uncertain some things will be come. You must carry hope to others because this is when they will need your encouragement, admonishment, loving rebuke, truth from My word, and compassion for others to reflect every aspect of me as you navigate through troubled times ahead. For I am the Lord and I am preparing great things in the very midst of this uncertainty, understand you must rule and reign, walk in power and dominion. My leaders must train and prepare others for the lean times and the abundant times ahead, says the Lord. So stand in your place of authority and walk in the fulfillment of your destiny. You must be prepared to follow instructions so that you will not open yourself up to any unnecessary cautions and warnings of fear that others might have coming upon them. You must be able to properly discern when trouble is coming upon the land. So reach out your hand to render to others the hope that I have established in this hour. Seek me so that you may find me as you walk through the pages of My word for therein you will find the scriptures that define where you currently are and you will understand the reasons for the events that are occurring right now before you. Stand before my presence in love and strength, ready to fulfill the work of the Kingdom that must be done. For I am releasing instructions and writing out My plans in the hearts of My people and I am giving them the grace to endure and be patient because it is important that you take heed to My promptings and allow the discernment that I have placed in you to come forth. I say to you now you must conquer new ground and possess new territory don’t be  limited by what you see and hear from natural sources, but begin to move forward in that which I speak into your spirit. I have positioned you and placed you so that you can utilize the ability and wisdom that I have given you to raise above your circumstances and create that which you need for the time that you are in. For even as the worlds were framed by My word and they were created and shaped, so did My word also preserve a people and when the inhabitants were destroyed in a flood those who were chosen by me were saved. Take the hope that I have placed in you and bring forth the substances of things that are needed to preserve life in the midst of judgment and reform.   Hebrews 11:1-3 Amplified version Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation the title deed) of the things (we) hope for, being the proof of things (we) do not see and the conviction of their reality {faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses}. (2)For by {faith---trust and Holy fervor born of faith} the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and obtained a good report.(3)By faith we understand that the worlds (during successive ages) were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible.            I have drawn a line of demarcation and I am commanding My people to come up higher, move in closer, to become what I have called you to be. You will not have the time nor the longsuffering that I have given in times past—it is time to rise up to be a part of the kingdom of priests and the Holy nation that must come forth to fulfill your destiny in this hour. I will not allow compromise to be a part of that which I have called to represent my people. “Be ye Holy, for I am Holy” (1 Peter 1: 13-16) says the Lord as you will not be able to walk in the old excuses; carrying reasons that you behave a certain way because of this or that—this is a time of serious accountability. I am weighing words, actions, and trying hearts and reins. My assessment will be rendered on the basis of what I have called you to do, what you really desire in your heart to do; and the level of sincerity and purpose. My grace will be there to bring you through and even to lead you to deliverance and restoration. But if it does not lead you to change, it is not My grace. Many have debated the issue but my grace was never released to be used as a license to sin, nor was it given without the accountability of the truth of My word. This is a time for you to decide, you can no longer halt between two opinions for the time is coming that you will have to deal with occurring events as they happen that will shock you and even trouble you. You must be able to quickly obey and respond. Declare your position of who you are and for that which you are accountable, even what I have purposed for you to do before the foundations of the earth. Many will look to criticize others even though they have fallen short of the assignments that I have placed before them. Seek me on how you can be more effective being what I have called you to and not just looking around you and assessing everything with great disdain. You can affect your surroundings; you can cause a greater impact upon that which you see, because the souls of men are waiting and inwardly crying out for redemption. Gather in the harvest, press into my presence and you will find a myriad of answers to the questions you seek. Jude 23 Amplified version“{Strive to} save others, snatching (them) out of {the} fire; on others take pity {but} with fear, loathing even the garment spotted by the flesh and polluted by their sensuality. (Zechariah 3:2-4)   (I saw a series of visions some concerning the elements and begin to ask about these visions and the Lord said) The earthquake activity in the land has to do with the major shifts* in the atmosphere spiritually and physically in the heavens and in the earth. Every shift affects every occurrence. Things are changing rapidly from every aspect as a result of the sins of the nations, evil treachery within our present financial structure, those who refuse to repent, unwillingness to change, the stubbornness and pride upon the nations, evil rulerships, and unholy covenants. In the midst of these I have heard the fervent prayers of My righteous ones. All of these things have impacted the atmosphere, the land and the people. The battle has ensued and the lives of the nations are hanging in the balance.   2 Chronicles 7:14** (Amplified version) If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of the necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
