by Prophet Phyllis Ford PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION As the wheat is being separated from the chaff, I am separating those who are mine from those who have refused my will and council for their lives. What appears to be hindrances and obstacles is the testing of my people: to see what they really believe and who they really are. Know that this trying of your faith works patience and maturity, even in your everyday circumstances. So know I have ordained in my people to be a testimony, even a testimony that will prepare the pathways of the next generation and will rise up with strength and anointing to do my will in the earth, says your God. So know that the experiences of this present time are molding you and making you: even purging and cleansing you so that you may walk in rank and order of the army that I am preparing in this hour. For the battle has already begun and there has already been challenges against that which is false and that which is truth -between the sheep nations and the goat nations, between my will and purposes and the will and power of the flesh, between Holiness and righteousness and sin and iniquity - for they are the very issues of the day. So as this battle is raging, know that those who stand behind these opposing forces are building and forming. The raging of war will be evident, for you will see objects of war, symbols of war, right before your very eyes. You will see even the fear of war that will be evident during this time. So wherever you take your stand----you will be on one side or the other, and the side you choose will determine how you will succeed and who you will follow. For the work that must be done in this time is a work that cannot be compromised and cannot be influenced by the world’s standard, for I the Lord am lifting up a standard before my people and in my people. One that says, “This is the way, walk ye in it.” So I say to you----look to me; look at the firmament in the heavens. Look to the very help for it is nigh before you. For in this season I will release a blanket of favor and a blanket of light upon my people.  They will receive new revelation: new wisdom coming down out of the heavens, new patterns, new strategies, and new mantles will be released for my glory, says the Lord. And I shall give to you the resources that you will need to accomplish the kingdom work before you---because the Source will release the resources. I say to you, even new resources, hidden resources shall be revealed unto you, says the Spirit of God. Even new discoveries, new doors and even new realms shall be opened in this time. So, stay before me, pray before me, and walk uprightly before me, and nothing shall be withheld from you in this time. For the time to favor Zion, the set time to favor her, is now. There will be upheaval in China now: a fight that has been brewing within for long time - a division between those who have carried the old establishment of government and those who refused to tolerate the old guard. Panama will become a center of my attention, as I blow upon that region with new life and a new anointing, and it will blow beyond its borders along the neighboring regions with a new life of revival. In Eastern Europe, the enemy will try to show himself strong, but it will be quelled by those who refuse to allow fear, terrorism, and intimidation step in and take over.         Prophetic Insights: There will be more uncovering of iniquities within leadership. There will be a voice from within the leadership that will rise up and say, “Now is the time for assemblies of accountability in order to restore integrity in ministry.” There will be a shift toward dual leadership and the flow of the corporate anointing. Pulpits will be shared by those who are not intimidated by working with other ministry gifts. We will see a reversal of court cases and an uncovering of judicial wrong doing with finality/closure that will bring shocking settlements of victory and major captivities will be turned. We will see a release of finances and wealth vehicles as the Lord will release provision for the vision for those who have His heart and His vision for the work ahead. This will continue to be a time of fasting and praying for the people of God during this time of an Open Heaven. We will see much that has been held up in the heavenlies and how prayer will pull them down into manifestation.
