Word of the Lord March 2008 (released Feb 29, 2008) PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION  by Prophet Phyllis Ford This is a month of acceleration where key decisions will already be decided and moves of preparation should be taking place in order to achieve major goals. This is a time to move diligently because diligence will pay off and even lead to a flow where doors of opportunities will overcome warfare and opposition. Focus on me, saith the Lord. A lot of activity will occur around you, trying to get you to react and move based on what the enemy has done or is doing. But don’t be hit blindsided by his tactics. The enemy is only trying to get you to move out on things that are based on fear and raging emotions. So in order to triumph in this battle of flesh versus the Spirit, you must elevate your thinking and remember that the major battleground is in your mind. Don’t allow your flesh to dictate to you----how you are doing or what you can’t achieve, but conquer the fleshly realm with your spiritual attributes. Remember to continue to make adjustments.  Let the change that has now been set in motion to continue to move forward so that you will be able to accomplish that which I have set for your life. It’s also important not to let others discourage you from accomplishing the things that must be done. Don’t let put downs and negative talk deter you. Remove the distracters from your path, even if that means releasing old relationships that have finally run their course. Cover yourself in the protection of My word---look to it for your instruction. Hear it as it speaks to you words of wisdom. Allow it to resonate in your heart so that you may be renewed. For I am bringing divine breakthrough for those who can step into the divine, says your God. As for the scripture, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4): know that there are some keys that lie within that word.  Know that my word (logos and rhema), when spoken, will provide faith and strength to your soul. A proceeding word that comes from continuous relationship with me: it is greater than any circumstances that you may go through.  Let your faith soar above the dictates of your circumstances and allow breakthrough to break forth.  For the words that I release in this season are to preserve you, protect you and even keep you from falling.  Divine breakthrough will come forth this month in ways where it never seemed possible. Prophetic Insights: This is a month where we as a people will be challenged in what we really stand for and what we believe.  Battles between the flesh and the Spirit will arise with the enemy’s tactics moving full force versus the divine direction of the Father. We must know the difference between the two. We must understand also that even when we see the enemy move forward aggressively, that the Spirit of the Lord will always triumph in the end.  We will always (as long as we stay “In Christ”) walk in strength, grace, and victory, and with the power to overcome every obstacle.   Wrestling in prayer will bring forth new transformations.  Prevailing in prayer will release power in ways that we have never thought imaginable. Significant scriptures (KJV): Zechariah 4:6  Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Colossians 3:1-3  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Matthew 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of mouth of God. Galatians 2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
