A Refining for a Greater Defining

By: Phyllis Ford Dallas, Texas www.phyllisfordministries.com   PhyllisFordMinistries@gmail.com

Many of us have transitioned out of a season where things that we thought were permanent and significant began to perish. So that the things which would remain could be renewed. In that renewal those things would be strengthened and preserved. This allowed for greater levels of growth and maturity. Now there is a sharp finetuning concerning who we are and what have been prepared to do. Protect that which is sprung forth as new in this hour. For it’s very strength lies in the fact it has been hidden until the time appointed. That new life had to be covered in deep intercession until it’s time of delivery. This course of refining has laid before us a clearer more precise defining. New strength and enlightenment will accompany us along with thorough downloads for implementation. In the season prior, we have received training on how to walk in the dark. (Provers 1:6) Being literally held together by the dark sayings of Wisdom found the Word of God. We are light. As we walk in the light and speak light in the midst of that which tries to oppose us, the darkness will not be able to consume us. As we remain before the Lord so we that we may see His face lighten upon us. The lines of delineation have been drawn in the sand so that we would be realigned in proper positioning according to our purpose. Doors of deception are being closed off and fresh revelation is providing new entry ways. If we allow the wind of the Lord’s breath continually blow upon us it will move us into that which has been prepared before the foundations of time. To those who feel like you have been through hell…. You may have felt like you walked through some Hell-ish situations but, now you have definition on what is and what isn’t. You were overcoming even while you were placed in protective care (custody of the Lord). Your safe house was in the secret place and even when you were overlooked it was for your own protection. Give Praise and Honor unto the Lord your God because He has kept you and sustained you. You will not look like you have been in the fiery furnace of affliction because there will only be a slight trail of smoke. Nor will you look as though you’ve come thru the raging waters but others will look at you and see the moisture of dew upon your face. For the Lord God Almighty has watched over you and have preserved you so that you may help others to come out of where you just came from and cross over. 2 Corinthians 4:16 (KJV) “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (ESV) “For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” Isaiah 43:2 (NASB) "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.”

Word of the Lord from Purim to Passover and Beyond by Phyllis Ford

March 27, 2017 Prophetic Insights When a major shift takes place in our lives, we are presented with a new beginning. Where there is death of the flesh there is a well spring of new life and resurrection. As we focus on the new life the pain of death breaks off of us. Allowing us the chance to embrace new joy in the resurrection. This Passover marks a major turning point for government, the church, and our nations at large. Just as we see seeds firmly planted in the ground arise in the spring; We will see an uncovering of much that has been operating underneath the surface. This is a good thing, because that which is exposed and brought to light shall be removed. Now that the life of it has become visible it can no longer remain shrouded in darkness. I heard the Lord say that during this emerging month of Nissan (March28th) that which has remained hidden must come to light. So, that there can be an uprooting of the hindrances that have been germinating in the darkness. The power of the Glory will expose it, consume it, and remove it out of its place of prominence. That which has thrived in darkness will be destroyed and removed by the power of resurrection life. A part of the perfecting process in 5777 is the glorious light that will reveal the hidden sides of things that have been covered in deception. That which started during the Feast of Trumpets has moved into an even greater perfecting. There is a Jewish understanding of the Feast of Trumpets that marks the world’s creation which is represented upon the 1st day of Tishrei. We also see that the month of Nissan which carries a deeper meaning of new beginnings marks the season of Passover. Scholars debate to this day which beginning in more significant. Timing is Redemptive and Full of Strategy I believe it prophetically makes a statement to us as the people of God that this new beginning carries the theme of redemption to another level. The Lord God Almighty is forever having compassion upon His people to forgive and redeem them back to Him.  Beginning again and starting afresh these things hold true as the Lord has been long suffering over His beloved and has provided us times, seasons, and feast, that He may allow us to repent, change and begin again. We see the heart of the Messiah in the face of this Passover Feast and His love for His redeemed. However, we are in the season to change now. That redemption has run deep and if we can lay hold of it. It will release upon us restoration going back into original intent. Look for a mighty resurgence and resurrection of His Glory. Taking us and saturating us in all we can be in Him as we cry out. Passing over into new possibilities will break off the weariness of the winter seasons that was once upon us. Everything is coming into full view. There is a crying of repentance and that which is coming out of the fiery place of His presence. Things that seemed small will become very big overnight. That which is not uprooted will come under the judgement of the Lord. This re-ordering is part of the balance of unjust weights, which is the order of the day. The fact that we will see an uprooting and a springing forth will be evidence of the change. In the midst of the battle that is being waged in the realm of the spirit there is about to be a downpour of rain. We will see many small victories water a harvest of coming manifestation. This is an hour to stay watchful, while advancing. Praying while progressing. Marching forth as we exit the place of His presence, because there will be times of much needed vigilance that will keep us alert and prepared. (1 Peter 5:8,9). Knowing that while we are progressing, plans of retaliation are simultaneously being set in play. This is stirring up and shaking the heavens causing His glory to come down and push back the attacks of the enemy. The Lord says, “Don’t allow issues to be forced upon you that I haven’t placed there. Don’t allow fear, religion, and intimidation to prevent your advancement or cause you to work in division, but stay unified. Exercise discernment in all that you do. Stay in the light and pray forth the light even in dark places.”. The Passover Lion and the Lamb I received an understanding in prayer concerning the Lion and the Lamb. In this hour, we are receiving the understanding that the emphasis of the Lamb is coming into full view. Understanding that humility comes as a result of a life laid down. (1 John 3:16 & John 3:16). We see the power of Lion of the tribe of Judah as we allow our flesh to die. Dying to our flesh gives us access to that power. In order to walk in the resurrection power of the lion we must understand the humility of the lamb. Our humility and service of compassion to others releases the power to walk in a consistent flow of resurrection life. Giving us the authority tread over that which is keeping God’s people from walking forth in the manifestation of signs & wonders to the Glory of God. Also empowering us to do many things like reviving that which has been cheated out of life. There are those that have been in a death like state and have been driven to give up on the promises of God, but the Lord said they have been “cheated out of life”. Know that the Lord is going to empower the humble so that they might be restored. A Charge to the Intercessors and Watchmen: There will be turmoil ahead especially rising out of the Middle East. We must work while it is day. (Watch and pray!) For the night comes when no man can work. There is an urgency for intercession in this hour. We must not operate out of fear and anxiety for the Lord has revealed to me that, “Timing in itself is a strategy.”. When God releases His wisdom and we apply it we see things being worked out in their proper timing. We will see strategies released by Apostolic & Prophetic intercessors as well as Watchmen who will move out according to Jeremiah 1:10. A great uncovering of improprieties will be revealed in the church from the pulpit to the door. As a sweeping deliverance moves forth to uproot darkness within the body of Christ. These sweeps will release a Glory that will fall heavy upon the people of God who desire freedom in this time. We must pray in this hour with hearts of compassion. The oil and gold shall be released in this time. Proverbs 24:6-12 “For by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory. 7 Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth. 8 Whoever plans to do evil will be called a schemer. 9 The devising[a] of folly is sin, and the scoffer is an abomination to mankind. 10 If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. 11 Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. 12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?”

Word of the Lord for December 2016 by Phyllis Ford

Word of the Lord for December 2016 by Phyllis Ford Arlington, Texas www.phyllisfordministries.com   PhyllisFordMinistries@gmail.com

The Significance of the month of Kislev As we enter into the season of Kislev, I believe the Lord wants to encourage us and even stretch us to cross over into deeper realms of faith. The Lord began to speak to me concerning several things. Kislev is the 9th month and symbolizes a time of trust and security. It reflects a time to draw near to that which we trust and rely upon. So it is only natural to ask, “With whom and Where does our trust lie?”. We ask this so that as we stand as believers the principles upon which we will stand will have a meaningful effect. So the Lev in the word Kislev carries an emphasis of the “Heart.” The other word is security which balances upon the thought of obtaining favor from the place of your security. It has also been a time where conflicts were resolved or escalated based upon the base or the under-current that was present beneath situations that arose in that season. Lev also means loving with a full heart. It is the rainy season in Israel, a type of cleansing even a time of travail and in birthing the realm of the spirit. The tribe of Benjamin is highly associated with this season. This month will bring to surface or give birth to that which is hidden in God, in man’s hearts, and in one’s convictions. Too much is being done and said with the absence of love, and the fruit of what’s really in the hearts of people will only continue to come to the surface. The Lord said something to me which I feel spoke volumes. “If my people’s life is governed by my instructions, teachings, and commandments; then these attributes will yield more righteousness. Even more passion for me and with that the willingness to rise up and fight for the manifestation of my will in the earth.” Prophetic Insights I believe we must consider several things that are before us. Standing in this place in time we will be faced with opportunities and challenges. This will be a time where we can see a maximum yield spiritually that opens up greater opportunities, because of the price that was paid in the midst of overcoming difficulties further challenges us and changes us. It will even cause us to step out and stretch ourselves in ways that will define areas of growth and maturity in our lives. These opportunities as we face them can unveil great moments that could shape us and open doors that we have not previously seen. Become First Responders to the Lord’s Clarion call. As an army of prayer warriors it will challenge us to cross over and step beyond what we are looking at and instead create new avenues and expand our areas of growth by doing great exploits. Not carrying a mindset of observation by sitting back to see what we will see or what we will be on a day to day basis. This cross over is an entry way to walking into a new level in faith by accepting the new challenges that can greatly affect our future from a local stand point. As we deal with the very things that will stand in our way, hinder our progress, and even try to sabotage our growth potential as well as kingdom expansion. The reason we must take a good look at this, is because as we walk over into the January 1st we end upon the last day of Hanukkah. Walking through great light and revelation that will be unveiled to us so that we can see our situations from a different place as it is presented to us in 2017. As we stand at the door of 2017, the 17 stands for victory over adversity. I believe it will be the challenge to stand before obstacles and opposition in fervent prayer with strength and impetus that could catapult us in the face of conflicts and uncertainty. We sometimes find ourselves not riding the next wave of what could potentially take us into becoming what we have been called to be. By finding ourselves laying back we are taking a pass to stepping beyond where we are to become who we have been called to be.  The Lord gave me this analogy of firemen in the station working on day to day activities. The firemen keep the efficiency of the place where they are checking and rechecking equipment without waiting until the fire. The diligence put in to what they do becomes what will continue to improve who they are and what they are capable to accomplishing. Our First Response is the order of the day. The Lord showed me that we need the mindset not to question will there be a fire that day, but to be prepared for the fire and put it out quickly and efficiently. For us to be good, faithful, and efficient in what we do so that when conflict arises we have the skill, the proper tools, and a heart to do great exploits. So that we as people of prayer and principle knowing and understanding the word of truth can go forth and do our due diligence. We must operate as the army of God in a responsible manner. As first responders to be able to answer the call to rise up and become part of the solution to the conflicts for this hour. Not as if we willed it or wanted it, but to respond to quell those things that will try to keep us from being people of God. The earth is in travail. The question is, "Will we rise to the call as the Body of Christ; through fervent prayer making a stand against the principalities within our nation?" When fire arises as First Responders we go to save the house. The building and all that are in it and as many as we can or as many who will allows us to help. Why? Because that is our goal. To make sure that none perish. Saving as many as we can even those who started the fire knowing that God will see to their punishment in manners that change their lives instead of destroying it. We are the solution, but are we willing to move out of our place of spectating to be who we’ve been called to be? We are the army of God. Prayer warriors with many battles before us to fight. Discern the type of fight I speak of, because these victories will be won in the place of prayer. The greatest battle we will fight will be on our knees. Praying not out of what we think or feel, but according to the will of God, the word of God, and the heart of God. Being prepared means, we need to examine ourselves and take a serious look as to who we are. We must inspect and make the proper adjustments so that the Lord himself will strengthen and add more virtue to us. Yesterday I spoke to a friend who is a real first responder. He is a firemen and someone who loves the Lord with all His heart. We talked about the adjustments that were being made in natural, but more so in the spirit. He confirmed to me the diligence and dedication of what he lives and stands for, then in the midst of the conversation. I heard something that confirmed so strongly what the Lord had spoken. He made a reference to what His commander was saying. He said, “Make sure you have your cold weather bag!” Well, that did it for me I could hear the Lord say, “Will my people carry the right garments for the season?”. Will our robes of righteousness and truth be carried with us?  Will we take off the spirit of heaviness and put on the garments of praise as we attend to the work of the Lord? Will we wear integrity in the hour so that we may pass over into open doors and receive divine favor?”. Our answer will be it was the Lord whose grace and mercy has given us the victory in Him. Our challenges will not end there, but if we rise up there will be things that we will be able to avert. Answer the call of the Lord. He is waiting for you to respond. Meet Him in the place of prayer and there He will equip you and take you to the place where you are now prepared.

Connectivity by Phyllis Ford

This is the word for April 2016. We tried to release this to you on Saturday evening, but we had slight technical difficulty. I believe it has within some key insights as well as encouragement as we all make our journey from the Feast of Purim into the coming Feast of Passover. Key words are connectivity, understanding the power of unifying, flowing and operating with others that we will connect with, as we walk in step with the Lord who is in us and working through us to accomplish great things in Him. We will see ourselves moving forward as major shifts change our current circumstances. Listen with an open heart to hear the word of the Lord.  https://www.facebook.com/phyllisfordministries/videos/vb.374055126071483/803898926420432/?type=3&permPage=1

March 23, 2016

Today you have entered into a season and it is an exciting time of restoration, deliverance and healing. We are turning a major corner and we can rejoice in our Lord for all that He has done for us. We will see great change and it will mark a time in God that our rejoicing takes us and prepares us for our next journey forward.

Yes we must stay focused in prayer, yes we must deal with the dilemmas of our day. But Be strong and courageous for the Lord is with us, in us and will strengthen us on every hand. The corridor (court) we stand in represents the meeting place where the Lord hears our cries and petitions and moves on our behalf. It represents our lives and how in this hour more than ever we must walk close in step with Him. Receive His breath and walk in close relationship with others. Allow His oil to flow in our lives.

Listen to this audio. This is the first time I have ever done this!! (I am making reference to Esther 6: 4-11 that court represents that corridor by which we are standing and God is about to move on our behalf.) I pray this word to encourage you. May it bless you, keep you in this season of Purim, and may it will lead us into Passover. May we remain in prayer and consecration unto Him.  May we Unify draw close together. As one, for our King has heard us on High. Shalom!

It's All About the Oil: Word for March 2016 by Phyllis Ford

Arlington, Texas www.phyllisfordministries.com   PhyllisFordMinistries@gmail.com

March 9, 2016 The Lord begin to speak to me concerning this time, and the significance of oil on several levels. He specifically said this would be a time of great release of His anointing and glory. He compaired it to the pouring out of His oil. Oil is produced through a process of crushing and it is the residue that which comes as a result of the press of the olive leaf. I had a dream about oil. In the dream the oil of prayer kept the people from a trouble that was trying to come upon them. As they prayed and prayed the oil flowed. Suddenlies were happening everywhere. It was like prayer had a domino effect upon many situations at the same time. They seem to navigate through troubled waters and situations were averted as they continued to press in. Then it seemed as if the oil filled up to such a large measure until it flowed all over things, and it did not stop. No matter what, the oil continued until it touched everything and it ran over the table down to the floor and it had no end. I have had dreams about the significance of prayer but not like this one. It was vivid and tangible as if it could reach through one's natural senses. When I woke up I was in travail. As I came out of the dream I arose with the understanding; that as the people pressed in and prayed that things would begin to change and significantly shift almost overnight. Some very key things are being birthed now and some things are being covered and it is all because of prayer. The Lord brought back to my remembrance a prophetic word I shared previously. (May 2013.) Exerts from a Word given to me in May 2013: Vision: I saw a vision of a white cup filled to the top with oil, and then all of sudden it was turned onto it’s side and the oil flowed out and seemed to never stop. (There was more oil coming out than that which seem to be in the cup (an overflow).) Then when it was empty it turned back into it’s upright position and was full again. I knew there was a mighty release more than the cup could hold. I knew this was as a result of a divine supply coming from the Lord. A couple of days later I saw a huge hand coming out of the heavens and out of its palm was pouring oil. “I am pouring upon my people the oil of my covenant that was established in times past. You will begin to see it’s effect in the days to come. As I pour out the oil upon you, it will be evident that I will be with you to help you, direct you, and show you things as you cry out from your place in prayer. The oil symbolizes access into places you could have never walked into before. As well as the ability to come out of situations that you would not have been able to come out of otherwise. It is the oil of favor and joy giving you the grace to come out of troubled areas into a place of breakthrough. Testimonies and miracles will begin to come forth; so many wondrous things will begin to happen. Know that I am moving upon this time for all to see so that a greater measure of My glory will come forth. Revival fires will burn. You will feel the power of my love coming forth upon my people and joy will come in the midst of them. A peace will be released that will bring a fire and a light upon my people that will flow like liquid fire. It is my portion given freely to you to believe again, to hope again, and to reach up and reach out to touch others’ lives in measures that have not previously seen.” “This release will be the beginning of great things that I have prepared for my people. Cry out in the Holy place of prayer. Press in and don’t let up. Press in my people, don’t give in, because as the prayers are being released out of my house, between the porch and the altar, as they pour out they will touch and cover areas that could not be covered in any other way. As you pour out prayer you are holding back greater loss and greater devastation. Many troubling things are about to surface even more so towards the last six months of this year." "There will be more terrorism even war plans will be attempted, but also there will arise a greater vigilance and a greater cry will come from my sanctuary." "It will become intense as the intercessors and watchmen cry. For they will arise with great strength and unity, and the oil will increase. Prayer is like the oil and the oil is like prayer. As it pours forth and pours out, it will heal, cover, protect, and break yokes. It will pour out in a great measure. For even the wine and the bread as instruments of communion are symbols of my love and power. In this season they represent my covenant to you which holds precious promises that will never be forgotten, but fulfilled in the time to come.” Psalm 45:7 (Aramaic Translation) “You have loved righteousness, you have hated evil, because of this, oh, God, your God has anointed with you the oil of a joy greater than that of your companions."  His Words Now: “For the vision to watch and pray is coming forth now in a greater measure and it will take on a louder voice that will not be silenced says the Lord. The power of prayer is being activated across the land and it shall increase. Much worse would have come upon this land if it had not been for prayer. The warfare against this nation has increased so continue to press into prayer. Praying with power and without ceasing." "Prayer is the key in this hour. And it has been passed down from generations to generations. It will never lose its strength. Let the prayer pour out like the oil. Let it pour out in your homes, at the gates, in the secret place, in the glory, and in the worship. As the prayers come forth so will my oil and the flow of miracles will come. Salvation will increase, deliverance will come forth, and many souls will be won. Cry out for Holiness over this land for the time is at hand and there is an urgency now to do so. Where there is prayer there is no need for fear. So allow your faith to overflow out of the secret place." Battle Over Oil Reserved in Us, but also in The Land of Promise: Last week I was with a group of seasoned servants praying over the maps of various regions. I heard the Lord say pray concerning the trouble in the Middle East from those who oppose Israel. He mentioned how the issue and threats coming out against her had to do with oil reserves and even that which is deeply embedded in the land of the promise land.  In the early morning prayer I came back to the words of the Lord and understood it on this wise as well. There is a battle raging in the minds of many of his chosen and it is the ranglings of the enemy that is trying to instill fear and intimidation in order to undermind the power and ability that God has placed in His people. But know just as the enemies of Israel fight over the land of His chosen we must understand it is also happening in the spiritual realm over the minds of His chosen here and abroad. We must not be shaken but walk in the full authority that has been given unto us and not allow the psychological warfare and the enemies tactics to derail us. (Ephesians 1:20-22). We must go into the high places in the realm of prayer and hold our ground so that we may overcome every stronghold that would try to cause confusion and fear.  We must come into the agreement with His word and go up way above the snake line into the heavenly realms in prayer, praise, and worship unto Him. This is our position and it will enstill victory on every side. From now until Purim and from Purim going into the season of Passover we will see many reversals, key victories, during this time. It is one thing to have overcome the enemies tactics but to restore territory and to make the enemy give back ground, possesions, things that have been stolen, and recover it is a even greater victory. Faith and fervent prayer will be key to overcoming and seeing great reversals even with revival fires in the coming days ahead. Final Dream: I was given a type of box that carried oil. I was told that the oil represented a crushing yet an overcoming that had gained much as a result of prayer. The container was marked with the words "grateful" and I was told that it would hold a key inside it that would open special doors when our options will seemingly run out. I was told to keep it with me at all times. That was the end of the dream. Just a week or so ago I was given a beautiful clay jar by a precious intercessor friend in my church. She knew nothing of the dream nor what I was instructed in the dream. She told me I believe the jar is to hold your prayers and the Lord will answer those prayers. I nodded to her near tears remembering my dream. Then a couple of days she gave me a bottle of oil and said I feel like the prayers that you place in this jar should be anointed with oil. The oil was called latter rain.  (The Lord always confirms His word.)   The oil of prayer in this hour will flow. Even flowing into the way we will deal with others carrying the very love of Christ that is being poured into others lives for His glory. Psalm 23:5 (NKJV) "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows." Isaiah 10:27 (NKJV) "It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil."  ©copyright 2016 by Phyllis Ford Ministries

The Sound of Wisdom February 2016 and Beyond by Phyllis Ford

Arlington, Texas www.phyllisfordministries.com   PhyllisFordMinistries@gmail.com

In the days and months to come we will see an out-pour of Wisdom and Enlargement. They will work together as a powerful force to be reckoned with, and individually they will  carry a very unique answer and emphasis that will impact the body of Christ. January's month of consecration has passed however carried an sweet fragrance unto the Lord. Leaving those who walked in a place of humility while  loving  those others to  move forward to crossover into the place where they will be defined, refined, and aligned with the purposes of the Lord. The ministry of reconciliation comes to the forefront to embrace those who so desperately needed the ministry and life of Jesus Christ. We will see such a surge of power coming out the last season catapulting us into the answers, solutions, and even remedies of what to do. It will carry an impetus into kingdom authority marking it's accomplishments along the way. There will be a rising up of prophetic voices in this hour who are coming out of a narrow place into a place of enlargement and God's words will jolt the body of Christ that has seemed lifeless. They will shock the system of the heavens to pump the Zoe life blood into those who were battle weary and tired but have not given up. They will arise...but they better get to going,  because along side of them will be those who have awaken from a place of darkness ready to report for duty and it's going to be on! His breath will be a power surge flowing back into the body due to the acceleration of time, and there is much to be done. There will be tsunami waves, big waves like the kind that the surfers live for! They will jump and ride the wave of new life into the hearts of those who are coming out of a place of complacency. It will cause a wind of refreshing. The Caleb's will arise and say, "Give me my mountain". The Elijah's will run through the gates. You will hear the sound of bricks and mortar being laid in place as the Nehemiah's begin to complete the work on the wall. You will hear the prayers and intercession coming from the hearts of the mourning women, and men will raise up their hands in praise to their almighty God. You will see the young lads running up the hill to the place of being raised up in their young ages as Samuels are being sent up by Hannah. There will be great light and movement as the wisdom of God will go across the land. Many will say, "Hey what is going on? Why is everyone moving so fast?". For we will be looking at the wisdom of God moving in action. Setting things in order and getting things in place. You will hear,  "Step aside we got work to do. We have done enough talking and we are moving to the sound of a new beat.".  For you will hear sounds of praise. Sounds that reach the heart of those who will say, "Sing it Again! Say it again!". (I saw the Lord standing as a Maestro and I heard the tapping of His wand as He called them to move and sway to the sound of wisdom in the earth. And these were his words.) His Words: "Arise, for it will beat like the heart of the instruments as they move and sway with the sound of my rhythm and heartbeat. You will hear roars as I arise out of my place. You will hear congas drum and the flutes all uttering melodies that will make you rise up and dance to beat of the music. It will be tribal and my nations will hear it, and recognize it to be the sound of this hour. All will begin to rejoice! Yes this is the time that your hearts longed for and  you have been waiting for this moment." I heard rumbas, salsas sounds, and even reggae . It was all fast and swift movement and I saw those who were swaying with the sound. Another Vision: I saw those who were walking and they heard the sound. Suddenly they took off running into a sprint with the wind at their backs. The sound rose to a fever pitch as the sounds in the heavens began to rejoice. I saw angels swooping down to see and to listen. The Lord is moving in this hour. Wisdom: Wisdom will raise to a fever pitch because the timings of God will be released, His redemptive purposes will be revealed, and the destiny of His people will come forth. With new fresh awakenings the people will hear the Lord of the symphony move with the stroke of his hand. All will come forth from their place. It will be a time of rejoicing for all that God's people have been through, prepared for, tested, and tried. It was all for this. For it was the dress rehearsal for the Kingdom's coming performance and many will hear it. For it will not be the previous typical sound it, but it is a remix (a sound not quite heard before). It will unite and gather those from many different nations to come together as one. For there will be melodies echoing across the globe there will also be enlargement. His Words: "For I say this is my people and the life that I am fashioning upon them. It comes out of the ashes of time, out of the fallen generations and out of a people who once knew they could change but didn't know how to get there. I have now lead them back to a place of origin and a place of enlightenment and understanding. The enemy seeing their greatness knowing what they would be capable of doing, tried to destroyed them but I have given them beauty for ashes and they will be known as a beautiful people. Beautiful, because I made them from the beauty of Holiness and all will know they were created from me birthed and brought forth out of adversity having endured and been preserved until now. For now will be the hour of there coming." Isaiah 61:3 (NLT) "To all who mourn in Israel, He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for His own Glory." Psalm 29:2 (KJV) "Give unto the Lord the Glory due unto His name, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." (Also see Psalms 96:9) Three Windows of Time:  January 20th to February 20th:  The time of alignment. He is preparing us re calibrating us so that we can move into who He has called us to be. Watch for new windows of opportunity opening as you pray into the Lord's wisdom and instruction. Their will come witty inventions for things that need to be repackaged, re purposed, and repaired. As these ideas catch hold they will grow quickly. This is a time to get in order, and get into the place that the Lord has called to you. [A.S.K. - Ask Seek Knock] Ask questions, because He has answers. You will get downloads, visions, and dreams, but be quick to obey and don't miss your window of time. From Purim to Passover & From Passover to Pentecost Look into these windows of time with new eyes. Pray for His eyes his vision AYIN means "eye" and "to see". [Note this is the 16th letter in the Hebrew alphabet and we are in 2016.] Ask for the Father's eyes. John 4:35 (NLT) "You know the saying, four months between planting and harvest. But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest." Our natural eyes can delay what the lord is saying now, but to be fearful and hesitant is not His spirit. Purim - March 23rd to the 24th 2016 Passover - April 22nd to the April 30th 2016 Pentecost - May 15th  We must walk in the light. There we will find fellowship with others and foremost with the Lord. It will provide safe passage when in times of darkness. When we maneuver well in the light we know how to get around in the dark places. Many thing need to be in place before the darkness comes in and goes out. Even in the time when it will settle. Enlargement:  As we increase our capacity to receive Christ through worship, prayer, and His word; He becomes the focal point of the enlargement. It is no longer about us, but about Christ. As we die and yield to His will and His way in our lives we grow and increase. Kingdom purposes move to increase and enlarge our capacity. The ability to see through the eyes of the Lord comes from Humility. (1 Peter 5:6 & Isaiah 54:1-2) This may will include changes of locality. As the journey to seek the heart of God aligns with our destiny. Finding your tribe, it's essential and all about team players. Manifestation has everything to do with us and who we are connected to. People must represent the principles that we are to align with. They won't be carbon copies. Do not compare yourself with others but get before the Lord and walk out what He has called you to be. G.P.S. God, Placement, System - Global, Prayer, Systems - God's, Positioning, Succeeding - in our lives as we yield to Him. Obedience will take us back to reverence and respect for the Lord's words and commands.  We will expand and it will lead us into a large place. Watch for promotions and elevation with honor as we humble ourselves before the Lord. Servant leadership and corporate anointings coming out of the cluster not the grape. ©copyright 2016 by Phyllis Ford Ministries

Word of the Lord for 2016 Part II & January 2016 by: Phyllis Ford

Arlington, Texas www.phyllisfordministries.com   PhyllisFordMinistries@gmail.com

Prophetic Insights: We are seeing everything that has built up in 2015 come to a complete tipping point. For the bowls of prayer petitions and decrees have come before the Lord and the Lord is about to move upon the behalf of His people.  The events, even the test and trials that were experienced during this phase have been the ground for that which the Lord is establishing now. His Words: The Lord is saying, "For now the dry ground is about to become your watered garden. Your proving ground is about to become your breeding ground. For I am clearing the ground and I am cleansing the ground. I am planting in this season of your life and you shall see it and you will taste it's harvest. For I am rebuilding upon you in this hour, so that you may walk in my abundant life." "So prepare your heart in this hour to receive this new planting. Allow the weeds of the past to be pulled up. Let my words become new life and strength to you now. Come away from all that has tried to taint and pollute your fields and receive a new refreshing. For now is a re-digging of wells and the ground is being prepared and new seedlings are being planted. Great life shall spring forth in this hour for those who are hungry and are ready for this new time of awakening." "Now there will be a turning over of the soil and the seeds will be planted deep within. There will be great growth and behold the bumper crop season will take place. As quickly as it is planted so shall it also come forth. The harvest will be like nothing you have seen in times past. For this is a part of the accelerated course that has come upon the land, and there will be rapid growth in this season." The Lord let me know that 2016 is a time where we will not be overlooked. For even in this month there will be opportunity to grasp, to redeem time, and to move forward onto new ground. If we allow this window of time to go by playing last years games we will watch everyone quickly pass us by and we will wonder where the time went. That which some of us tried to cover and hide will be exposed before all. (He gave me key words and they were as follows. These are not new concepts but the emphasis on these things will begin in January and continue to carry forth throughout the year.) Kingdom Convergence: This will be a joining of giftings, callings, and anointings that the Lord will gather in this hour for optimum results. It will be about kingdom minded people joining together to bring about radical change. We will see a cross-pollination of people from various nationalities, regions, and background. These will be a fierce group of kingdom people who will be fearless and focused on getting the job done. There will be a converging within the church structure and groups specializing in particular areas for the purpose of having a greater impact and influence upon kingdom expansion and growth. Many streams will gather and begin to flow together. There will be a blending as God's people as they unify to do greater works. Tipping Point: Watch how when the efforts of many move together a tsunami wave of momentum is created having much impact. It will begin in January and go throughout the year. You will see people connecting people, purpose, time, and energy along with great moves of God's glory touching others on new levels. There will be those who will be carriers of the glory realm coming together. The bowls of the prayers of the saints will be tipped over taking others into greater realms of prayer movements. Prophetic voices, priestly sounds of worship, and Apostolic words of sound doctrine will purge and purify those coming out of deceptions bringing them into great deliverance. Breaking Ground: I had a vision of ground breaking ceremonies (which included ribbon cuttings). The Lord said that all the Heavens would rejoice over the new ground breaking forth in the spirit realm. There is a fresh new boldness coming upon the land that is liken unto when Caleb went forth to take new ground. There will be new fresh revelation in the area of spiritual warfare that will break new ground as well. Old battles will be finally be dealt with and old generational curses will be broken with fresh new victories. Beautiful People: I had a dream where I saw a group of people arising out of the ashes of the pain of the past and they were coming forth as lights. There was such a beauty upon their countenance. I inquired of the Lord and a few days later He said, "I am taking a people who have come out of the ugliness of experiences and bringing them forth as a beautiful people. For those who will come out of drug addiction, alcoholism, mental oppression, and emotional struggles will be made whole and new. They will see things in a new way and in a new light. For their past will be overcome by my love towards them." I saw among them young people who came in groups, and they looked like clusters of light. I saw some of which were previously looked upon as dangerous, but have since been changed by the presence of the Lord, and they were lead by other saints who have had similar experiences. Reformation Winds & Heavenly Centrifuge: I had a vision of a whirlwind. It turned in a circular motion and as it turned in great speed the furniture in the room was literally hurled around. All of a sudden it stopped and once it did everything was laid in order. The Lord said He was about to set things in order ushering in a Apostolic and Prophetic order that will change churches and even house meetings. People will be gathering together with a hunger for His presence and hearts crying out for transformation and it will take place in the house both apostolically and prophetically. In many ways God will see to it that things fall into their proper place. Wealthy Place: There will be a transition for those who have been in heavenly places with the Lord into a prepared place of abundance. This abundance will produce wealth vehicles that will come forth to strengthen and catapult the kingdom work into a sound place emotionally, financially, physically, and mentally. A soundness and restoration will begin to come upon the people of God. We will see transfers of wealth and finances that have been previously promised and now will be currently manifested in the lives of God's people. Exposures of Wickedness: At the very on set of this New Year we will see an uncovering of wickedness. The Lord will uproot and uncover the lies of the enemy. Infiltration and hidden alliances will be uncovered from with in the government and different organizations. From CEO's to Presidential candidates with strange bedfellows, all will be uncovered due to their refusal to change. The crossover into 2016 will hold heavy consequences and many who have been warned will see that God is not playing with them. Great Grace: We all know that where sin doth abound, grace also abounds. The Father's heart and those He will raise up in this hour with great compassion will be there to catch many in a new net of Love and forgiveness. This will mark a season of leadership with great humility that will through love literally usher a people into the gates of the Kingdom like never before. Weighty Gates: As we enter this new chapter of righteousness we cross a line of demarcation. This opens a weighty gate where the weightier matters are accessed and balanced with God's divine timing for fulfillment in order. A great wisdom will be unlocked and this wisdom will lead and direct us through uncharted waters of which we have never traveled. We will know what to do and how to do it during this time. Some didn't have the grace to cross over into 2016 and we must be grateful. We must also understand that we have been given access. The access we have been given carries with it a wisdom. Wisdom in this hour will be a principal thing and the fear of the Lord will make it's mark at the beginning of this New Year.   His Words: An Umbrella of Glory: "For my people shall receive great healing and deliverance under the umbrella of my glory. For my glory shall fall and my people shall hear the words that I am speaking to them. They shall hear individually and collectively as the words are released under that canopy of my anointing. They will hear my words of healing and cleansing. Major yokes shall be broken. The people shall be transformed. For this is the time that my people shall be set free. For no longer will they come under the umbrella of my glory, my anointing, nor my power and leave the same. I shall loose a lasting change and transformation upon them like a fire. For this is the hour of deliverance and my people will come out of darkness and walk in my light. For it will be my power on the people and my majesty will extend upon them." ©copyright 2015 by Phyllis Ford Ministries

Word of the Lord for 2016: Part I by Phyllis Ford

Arlington, Texas www.phyllisfordministries.com   PhyllisFordMinistries@gmail.com

The following is a compilation of dreams, visions, and utterances I received from the Lord concerning the coming year 2016. One of the things that the Lord revealed to me were words that would be frequently used in 2016. These words will have great significance in the media, in biblical teaching, and in other arenas where people will be open to hear and understand.  The two words that will be repeated over and over throughout the year will be "LOVE" and "LIES." I had a significant vision while in prayer, the Lord said that people would either focus on the foundation of His truth which is His Love or focus on the Lies of the enemy. The choice will be ours. The Lord showed me that in this season "lies" will be exposed. He revealed to me a divine strategy that will come in the release of revelation. Along with that revelation will come a sound from heaven through praise and worship. This sound will carry another level of anointing  to tear down and destroy the enemies resistance by the release of strong Apostolic prayer. Prophetic Insights coming out of 2015 and entering into 2016 The word for the year of 2015 was "Rest", but the word for the year 2016 is "Love". We are coming out of the season of rest in the Lord, but with the knowledge gained in the resting place. This rest displayed our ability to yield to the presence of God trusting that He was in control of our lives in 2015.  We watched and observed the Lord move and work in our lives while waiting and resting in Him. In that time He prepared us for the next journey. The rest we were to enter into was the kind where we relinquish our ability to fix, manage, and control things. Not all of us rested in the time of rest. Yielding during the time of rest was key for us to learn. If we didn't properly yield in 2015 we will have to yield all the more in January 2016. For those that fought the rest must now press for what they missed during the time of rest. Despite it all a window of redemption is coming in January 2016, and those that fell out of sync with last year's rest can reconnect and push forward not missing a step. This time allowing the Spirit of God to move unencumbered on their behalves in every facet of life. We will find that yielding has everything to do with humbling ourselves and having a teachable spirit. As we walk through this year where the key word concerning 2016 is Love we have to look at a few things to come into a full understanding. We need to look at what the ministry of reconciliation truly is about. We must also look at the Father's love and consistently walk in mercy and forgiveness towards us and others. Along with this truth we also see how the blessings of the Lord operate in us and for us while others are touched, healed, and receive a greater dimension of His grace. These truths are beneficial and as a result we also understand how to forgive and release others and speak the healing words of blessings upon their lives. As a result they will begin to bloom and prosper in this new place of restoration.  The fullness of love doesn't just forgive but adds another dimension which includes the impartation of God's breath upon one to build and create. What is potentially present now comes just as a flower transforms from a seed and it grows. Taking on form and becoming something beautiful according to the origin of the intent from which it was created. There is a prophetic dimension that calls the sons and daughters into alignment in the earth. We will see this grow and unfold more in 2016. We will become a part of that process as we continue to see ourselves as we look more and more like the Father. The image that has now come forth looks less like the flesh and begins to mirror Him in the Spirit. This transformation is occurring as we come to grips with that which we must conform to in order to be transformed. The conforming process means that we walk in a total acceptance to what we are to be by keeping our eyes upon Him and not upon us. His word is very powerful and so is the way we see Him. The more we acclimate ourselves to who He is and what His ways are the further we progress in that transformation. Some of us don't look like God, because we have become unacquainted with who he is. We must seek to know him so that we are able to understand the spiritual aspects of ourselves in a new and better way. We then lay hold to who He is and who we are so that the transformation process can begin to bring forth harvest.   His Words: Lies Versus Love:  "I will expose the lies of the enemy in the government and in the church. Many lies will be uncovered in this hour, as they have had an deep impact on the hearts and the minds of the people. In this time you will see an uprooting of lies. You will hear a repetition of this word (LIES) as this will be a part of what I am doing in 2016. For during these next two years there will be uncovering of previous back door deals, alignments with countries, even ungodly agreements with individuals that will be looked upon as damaging to the very core issue of your nation." "For you are in a season where many nations are literally standing at a crossroad. There has been a descending of morals and values that were once founded in me. Now the foundation that has been built up by men is crumbling at it's core. But know that in the very midst of this, I shall raise up a people who are not afraid and have been through some of the hardest struggles. Overcomers, for they will lead many into the light in the midst of a descending darkness. It is unfortunate that many major nations have fallen into the hands of unscrupulous men." "But my people who have become rooted in my word and resolved in the secret place of prayer will carry a powerful overcoming anointing to withstand and uproot the lies of the evil one. For this is a time of re-planting.  A re-planting of my words, my strength and the truth that will refuse to dwell in the midst of the lies. For the lies will be uprooted, and the ground will be cleared. The ground of peoples heart, the ground of people minds, and the ground of people's spirits will be cleansed. The land will be cleansed with my love, mercy, and purity of purpose that will be planted into the ground.  It will purge and uproot that which was sown by the enemy.   This is a time and a hour for a great cleansing to take place; unto the people, unto the land, and unto the church. This cleansing will cause a re-turning and a changing and in that turning and that changing my people will be delivered, healed, and prepared." The Process of Restoration: "There will be a restoration, a return to the place of original intent and a return back to ground that needs to be taken in the realm of the spirit.  A return back to those things that I have called my people to accomplish. I will work generationally and I will take my people into a deeper depth of the anointing and into the power of my grace in my love. For this will be a part of that which I have placed upon them that they may grow. In this time of planting, do not feel that the planting is to destroy you but the planting is to restore you" . "I will even take this season of restoration and will unveil the seedlings within the plant of its origin, and you will see my purpose purify the hearts and minds of my people. They will become ready, they will come forth, and they will move forth to do the things that I have called them to do in this season. Then you will understand the re-digging of the wells and the replanting of my word. As it called to take root and bear fruit as my plan becomes activated in this hour." "Know that the other four letter word that you hear will be love. For I am restoring love in my house for the basis and the foundation of all things. This Love will be rooted, grounded, and planted in those who represent me. Many have said that this nation is over and that there is nothing more that can be done, but I will do great and mighty things. For I will work through love and my love will draw many into the kingdom. My love will heal, my love will restore, and my love will purify hearts. It will lead and guide many of those that are lost and crying out in this hour." Love will carry a New Sound in the Earth: "For they will hear the sound of love and the melodies from heaven that will arouse and awaken them in this night season. The pain of the past will be washed away by the sound that will echo from the heavens to this earth. The earth shall quake from the sounds heard from the heavens and will respond with gladness of the re-birthing that I will do in this time. So open your hearts and open your ears that you may hear what I am saying to you now. For I will directly speak into your lives. And answers, solutions, and resolve will come with the sounding of my voice as I speak to you during this night season." "Listen and hear for I speak to you with words of wisdom and truth that will fill you with great light. You will connect with and understand what is being said. You will move forth in the land for my love will carry a sound. It will carry an anointing, a glory, and a grace that many will hear and heed the call. For with loving kindness I have drawn you in. For now my love will cover and restore so many who are wounded and battle weary.  Even those who have given up." Understanding the Power of Choice: "So I say this day you must make a choice. Will you allow the lies of the enemy to rule your life? Or will you allow the love that I have placed upon you, the everlasting love, a love that will never die,  and a love that will never end to work upon your life? For if you do you will never be the same. So allow this love to heal you and allow yourself to be yielded to that place of peace called love. I will fill you and restore you with fresh oil and new wine of my spirit. Remember, Love will be a buzz word that you will hear as I whisper peace into your life and joy into your soul." "My people I say, you must decide! For in this hour you will be either motivated by love to reconcile others with hearts of forgiveness, mercy, and compassion. Or you will allow the lies of the enemy that bring forth hatred, prejudice, evil, bitterness and unforgiveness to overshadow your soul. There is a breeding ground from that which will come from a evil root. Much has occurred because they relied upon their own strength, upon their own abilities, and upon their own mind to settle the problems of the day. But I say to you return back to my word. If you study my word, live in my word, and walk in my word, you will see I am redeemer of people. With a love that is able to destroy that which was broken and breathe into it new life." I will raise up New Voices: Hollywood even Comedians:   "I will raise up mouthpieces in the media and Hollywood. For I will speak through them and through the writers of Hollywood productions and comedic writers as well. I will move, change, and even influence a group of people for I will write through them and speak through them and my people will listen from near and far. I will touch a people who have not been touched or even moved, and they will be moved by the testimonies that I will tell through those lives." "I will speak to a people where there has been mocking even curses that came from those lips, and I will cause my blessings to spring forth out of those same mouths. For I have a redemptive purpose and I will redeem that which I desire to redeem. I will bring forth that which I desire to bring forth for I am their healing and saving God, and I shall change the words of men. I shall speak and they shall harken unto my voice and I shall turn their hearts and change their minds, change their behavior, and change their lives. For I will call them forth to be mouthpieces in the hour when none would ever suspect it. I will use them as I pour forth my spirit upon flesh and even the flesh of them who have turned their backs on me. For did I not do it as Saul became Paul? So shall I do it now, and I shall bring it to pass." "In that hour it will happen to those whom I will prepare. Know that I am going to change Hollywood. I am going to change voices and even through comedic voices shall I change lives. For I shall transform their lives and remove the dross off of them. I shall put on them new garments. I shall turn their ears and their mouths. For they will speak my words they will bring forth joy not folly, not mockery, and not those things which shall harm. I shall make them new. I shall mend hearts and minds says the spirit of God. I have held them for this season and that which mocked and scorned will speak forth my blessings and my joy. And the joy of salvation shall be upon my people and they shall be healed and rejoice." French Canada: People & Region:  "I speak to the French Canadian regions and say, Rise up, Oh Canada, Rise up, Oh Canada. I shall take this people and use them making them sharp threshing harvest instruments having teeth. They shall thresh and bring down great mountains, they shall thresh through great hindrances and they shall breakthrough, and become harvest instruments in 2016." "Watch the month of September. For in that ninth month I shall do great and mighty things. I shall do such great things that people will look upon that region and will say, "Look at what has happened in that region!". Look at what is stirring, look at what is coming, look at what is ahead, and look at what has been established. Prepare yourselves through prayer and fasting. Prepare for visitation. For I shall speak to the intercessors of that region and say, Rise up, Oh Canada, for I call you unto me. It will  be known as a place of revival, and revival fire will burn there. For I will fire baptize those who yield themselves to me and they will come forth. The Jews out of those regions will come forth and aliyah. For they will return to their Land and they will rejoice for they will be going home. What you will see in this region will spread over my land and crossover the waters for the move of my power has begun." Other Prophetic Insights Concerning 2016: Uprooting the Spirit of Folly & Seduction: Another issue the Lord began to speak to me about is the spirit of Folly and how it relates to the spirit of Seduction. Many times we think that the opposite of wisdom is ignorance. We all know that fear of the Lord is beginning of Wisdom. That word fear also translates to reverence and respect for the things of God. Well our refusal to follow God, respect God, acknowledge God is a fool's response. A fool says in his heart there is no God. The opposite of wisdom is not ignorance, but folly. Folly develops into mockery founded on a disrespect and disregard for the things of God. It is an end-time enemy which is tied into the spirit of rebellion and seduction. If proverbs states that a fool says in his heart that there is no God. We must realize that the spirit of seduction entices us to turn away from God and the spirit of Folly tells us to embrace a path without Him. When Paul talks to the Galatians he says Galatia who has bewitched you because they did not walk in Abraham's faith.  The word bewitched meant beguiled, to seduce or entice. The desire for ungodly things will lure the hearts of men in other things and move them away from the things of God. Away from their faith and into a mindset of unbelief where we have given into desires as if God does not exist or the fear of God is not in us. This lure is not just a sexual lure it includes ungodly mammon, addictions, and tangible obsessions. We cannot serve two masters. We can not serve the things of the world and the things of God. We must be careful for the things that we allow ourselves to possess can in the presence of these unchecked desires take possession of us. This is why Moses and Elijah stood before the people telling them to make choices. When the children of Israel were taken into captivity they were first taken in their hearts before they were physically taken away. This is why we must pursue Christ Jesus making Him our hearts desire. So we have to guard our hearts and minds against the works of the flesh. We must not allow ourselves to become overly focused upon the things of the flesh. So that even small things will not become idols and graven images that have been placed above the things of God. Be ready as we approach an age who looks to the earthly satisfactions rather than Godly answers to everyday dilemmas. The Lord's strategy for Uprooting the "Lies" of the Enemy: (The following is a revelation that when studied will only further reveal itself.) The Lord revealed a strategy in prayer using a combination of scriptures that tie together as one. It was concerning his unveiling plan to uproot "lies." He begin by stating that the spirit of pride operates as the spirit of Leviathan which the origin means to twist, mislead, or make crooked  the circumstances of a matter. Leviathan is also the author of many misunderstandings. Isaiah 27 says that God will pierce Leviathan with a sword (God's revelation of His word). It then it goes on to say to sing about the fruitful vineyard to watch over it. Here in this prophetic word the planting of truth and understanding son-ship identity uproots the lies of the enemy. Then it goes on to unveil the scripture of Job 41 which says a hook with be used to draw out this "spirit of lies" (Leviathan). The Lord showed me in a dream that the hook was a connection to a season in time. In 5776 vau which is said to represent 6 means to hook, to fasten, or to stake into the ground. We have now entered the time when the new Hebrew year unlocked and uncovered God's plan to destroy that spirit.  So we move on to the scripture of Isaiah 22 which unveils the opening of a door that no man can shut. That door takes us to a time prepared in God when this enemy will be overturned. So we see in that same chapter a man named Shebna (which represents pride) who is taken out of position and replaced by fastening of another who has the heart of a loving Father named Eliakim. When you line up these scriptures we see a prideful spirit of Leviathan who is destroyed by a revelation, followed by a worship (a new sound), a replanting of truth, unlocked in time. And the leadership representing the Father's love replacing the evil that was overthrown. Isaiah 27: 1-3 (NLT) In that day the Lord will take his terrible, swift sword and punish Leviathan,[a] the swiftly moving serpent, the coiling, writhing serpent. He will kill the dragon of the sea. In that day, sing about the fruitful vineyard. I, the Lord, will watch over it, watering it carefully. Day and night I will watch so no one can harm it. Job 41:1-3 (KJV) Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? Or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? Canst thou put an hook into his nose? Or bore his jaw through with a thorn? Will he make many supplications unto thee? Will he speak soft words unto thee? Isaiah 22: 20-25 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.  In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the Lord hath spoken it."

Step on into the new and don't let the old weigh you down. The Lord is saying New!!!! Watch the new. . . .new avenues, new doors, new new new! ©copyright 2015 by Phyllis Ford Ministries

This morning I saw a merging of seasons in a vision . . . . I didn't quite understand what I was looking into but I felt acceleration in the realm of the Spirit!! 

Then later in a time of rest I begin to understand. . . .Some things that have appeared to be dragging along are about to catch wind and catapult some into their next season. They are literally stepping into a whirlwind of events and there is a great momentum.This word is earmarked for those who have stood the test of time, waited patiently upon the Lord and refused to look back and remain in that old place in their past. But they have been contending, occupying while continuing to learn some of the most valuable lessons of their lives without holding anyone accountable for what they have been going through. They have been running in place, waiting to hear the word, "GO" and now the sound has gone off. Their seasons have merged and they are coming out of a holding pattern into the place of possession. They are about to come out on the other side of the blessings that only the Father can release in this time.

Doors will open and access into the new will await them. Praise has been their standard mode of position and now they are about to see what they have been praising the Lord for, even their very tears have been held and they are now releasing of living waters purifying their soul.What positioned them in prayer, in the word, and in praise literally kept them. Now comes the unveiling as they stand before the corridor of blessings that is now awaiting them. It was worth the trouble, it was worth the test, and it has sharpen their discernment for the challenges ahead. In this new journey they will see what awaits them as it will become more evident in so many ways. So rejoice and again I say rejoice. For this will be fully realized from now until the month of December before Christmas ever arrives.

Amos 9:13-14 (ESV) “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it. I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.

Amos 9:13-15 (MSG) “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree.“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel:“They’ll rebuild their ruined cities. They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine. They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables. And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land. They’ll never again be uprooted from the land I’ve given them.” God, your God, says so.

Rosh Hashanah 5776: Prophetic Glimpses and Utterances By Phyllis Ford

Arlington, Texas www.phyllisfordministries.com   PhyllisFordMinistries@gmail.com

September 16, 2015 This is an exciting time for Kingdom building and reordering. I pray that the Lord will reveal to you how important it is for you to be living in this time, because of the significance of your assignment. Many things will be taking place at the same time. We will see various extremes in lifestyles, attitudes, overall fortitude, and moral convictions. Know that our personal relationship with Jesus Christ is essential to our moving forward from faith to faith and glory to glory. A Shaking of Structures and Man-made Remedies in the Face of Kingdom Building: There is a rapid changing of social and economic structures that man has depended on from the world’s system of government. These systems relied on structures of self-sufficiency void of God. The reason for these changes have everything to do with the shaking of these structures. Even in the structure we call the church things have fallen into a similar pattern. Using similar methods of self-efficiency that are positive in appearance, but absent of God. In 5775 the realization of problems that have not been remedied and the inability to save or protect came to the surface. Yet by the grace and mercy of the Lord he held us together and covered us in the midst of storms. We are now coming to where the worldly protection is breaking down and new solutions must come forth to remedy the situations at hand. The reality is that the world will offer solutions that will lead to serious previously prophesied outcomes. The Kingdom will advance and release strategies that will allow new answers to arise based on the sure foundation of God’s Word and prayer. The old concepts of Church will be transformed and molded by the Lord until brought into total alignment with His plans, purposes, and principles. Jesus Christ will be as always will be the fulfillment of things that remain, while other things will crumble under the quaking. The manifold wisdom of God will build and govern where the old left off and principles of righteousness will further unite those ready to walk out His reign and rule. We will see it take place in the legal system on financial, social, and moral levels. The kind of transformation we will also see is that which has exalted itself be humbled. Then that which has been removed will be replaced by the Glory. This is not only a kingdom strategy but it is also occurring in the hearts and minds of those who are yielded to Him. This will springboard into a Glorious work with souls coming into the kingdom and lives being transformed by the people who will accomplish much in a short span of time. Seeing is Significant: We have come out of the hebrew year 5775 and are now in the year 5776. Let us look into this 76 year with eyes to see the revelations hidden in plain sight. Ayin - The Hebrew letter ayin (which is 70) means divine providence or in other words the eyes of God. Ayin literally means eye. In this time we will see more clearly as we go and as we grow. As we embrace truth more and more will be revealed. We will recieve levels of understanding as we continue to hear the echo of Luke 8:17. Truly there will be nothing hidden that will not be unveiled. But also know, we become more responsible for what we see and know. Integrity will be a big issue in this hour. We must pray to see through the Lord’s eyes but it must be accessed by walking in Humility. So we can know and understand His ways. Our sense of vision and perception is being perfected in our walk with Christ as we mature in seeing and submit to the making of proper adjustments. Vav - The Hebrew letter vav (which is 6) means several things, and it will not be understood by just rendering 6 as the number of man. Vav means nail (to secure or hold in place), hook (the fastening of things hanging on), peg (to fit a piece into place), and spear (a weapon or a tool to catch). God is looking to those who are secure and calling for them to hold their position in this season. He is taking those who were barely holding on and reconnecting them to that which is stable and in place. Those who do not have the strength or faith to hold on by themselves are being sovereignly fastened by the Lord. Then there are those who need to repositioned in a place or way where they fit. Yet still God is not done. For we will see Him go out like a shepard for a lost sheep and catch those that went astray. Who can pluck off what God has caught with His spear when He is the greatest catcher of men. The Name Jehovah which is JHVH  has "va/vav" in the center. There is something to be said in the fact that when we are secure in Christ we are also surrounded by him. Without Christ surrounding our lives with us, behind us, and ahead of us where would we be, but out of alignment. Season of Enlargement: People will be changing locations and even changing occupations to better fine tune their assignments in the fulfillment of their destinies. Alignment will be key now. First aligning themselves with God and then their purposes along with others within their sphere of influence. It is important that in this hour those who are connected to purpose have a synergy with those they work with because people also represent principles and those principles represented must be free to work together and unify. This does mean that they will be mirrors of those they connect with but Christ’s love must be the unifying force that brings them together. Just as in 2015 aligns with 5775 and 15 symbolizes rest, 2016 aligns with 5776 and 16 symbolizes love. The only thing that can balance man out is God’s love. It removes religion and condemnation out of the way. Religious systems will be broken down to bring and promote healing in the body of Christ. Who and what we connect with is paramount it will reflect who we are and influence how we will connect to the lost. With loving kindness we were brought into the Kingdom and it must be the major factor in the Kingdom building we do now.  Expansion has everything to do with our capacity to be yielded to the Spirit of God. Little spiritual growth leads to little enlargement. Things we refuse to deal with can hinder our ability to enlarge. we must die to our intellect so that our mind can hold knowledge and impartation we could not previously comprehend. There is a enlargement of sounds and melodies coming out of heaven into the earth. New sensitivities in worship will bring forth sounds never heard before. Angelic intervention and visitations will increase.  With every great movement there is always some negative to watch from a prophetic standpoint. What the Lord revealed to me was the Spirit of Rebellion. Beginning on the 13th of September rebellion will spark, and dividing lines will be drawn. The struggle that man wrestles with which involves him going his own way. That which wants to exist without God’s covering can fall into deception. We will have to closely look at Isaac and Ismael situations. A by-product of a rebellious spirit is also a mocking spirit. (Those who despised authority, along with scoffers and mockers were cited in the last days in jude.) Intercession and sound doctrine will be the two most essential things in overcoming the enemy in this season. The marriage of prayer and strong word study will carry the key to walking in truth and victory. Personal relationship with the Lord and fellowship (such as soaking in the presence and worship) will strengthen believers. Women will carry a powerful strength in intercession and prayer at this time. Call forth the mourning women. Hannah and Rachel crying for their children carries with it keys. Ruth and Boaz unions will be solidified. Marriages will come forth in a strategic way during this time. Significant Scriptures: Psalms 145:11-13 “They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and talk of Your power; To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.” Isaiah 54:10 "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.” Hebrews 12:26-27 “And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN. This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.…” Hebrews 12:26-27 (The Message Bible) His voice that time shook the earth to its foundations; this time - he's told us this quite plainly - he'll also rock the heavens: "One last shaking, from top to bottom, stem to stern." “The phrase "one last shaking" means a thorough housecleaning, getting rid of all the historical and religious junk so that the unshakable essentials stand clear and uncluttered.
