Word Of The Lord for March 2012 and Beyond by Phyllis Ford

The Word of The Lord for March 2012 & Beyond 
by Phyllis Ford
www.carpenterstouch.org/


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.”

Governmental Changes

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.”

Winds of Change

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).

Update: Execution orders may have been issued for Iranian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

Update: Execution orders may have been issued for Iranian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

(Source: American Center for Law and Justice)

Please pray for Pastor Youcef!
Photo: Present Truth Ministries
According to contacts in Iran, the execution orders for Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani may have been issued. Pastor Youcef's situation -- an innocent man convicted and sentenced to death for becoming a Christian -- has reportedly not been this dire since his story was first reported (for more on his case, click here).
It is unclear whether Pastor Youcef would have a right of appeal from the execution order. The head of Iran's Judiciary, Ayatollah Sadegh Larijani, must approve publicly held executions, but only a small percentage of executions are held public -- most executions in Iran are conducted in secret.
Please pray that the Lord will intervene and that Pastor Youcef will be freed from prison. Pray that Youcef and his family will remain faithful to the Lord in all situations. Pray that the Lord will be exalted through Pastor Youcef, whether in life or in death (Philippians 1:20).
Go to the Iran Country Report for more on the trials Christians in Iran face.

Flash Point! Urgent Call To Intercession Concerning The Middle East

Flash Point!!!

This morning a prophetic friend has no computer access but has been in intercession and is hearing the words FLASHPOINT!  She feels strongly that it is to do with Damascus in Syria, and Iran. She senses the potential for a powder keg to ignite into something that will affect the whole world.  We ask that you  intercede as felt led by the Lord about this very serious situation.  She has dictated these words to me over the telephone and asked me to get these words out to the body of Christ.

14Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD, 15Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.Joel 1:14-15



15Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. 17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? 18Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.  Joel 2:  15-18


Thankyou,

Standing In The Gap For The Sin Of Abortion

Standing In The Gap For The Sin Of Abortion

Sometimes we are so blind that we do not see our sin as God sees it.  We can be grateful that He takes time before dealing with a nation to point out our sin and show us the way of repentance.  Jesus is the answer to a nations sin issues and when we repent of our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.  The Lord is addressing the sin of abortion in the United States of America as we have heard tonight on a call to fast and pray sent out by Lou Engle of The Call. 

I was painfully aware that our own nation is not exempt of this sin and also needs to come to a place of repentance and that laws need to be speedily changed to protect the unborn lives that are so dependent on the decisions we make.  The laws we make do affect the generation to come and those thereafter and the sins of the fathers are visited on the children to third and fourth generation and some sins even to the tenth generation. What are we doing about our sin?  What are we doing as the body of Christ in prayer and intercession?  Are we calling on the Lord and repenting for the lives of those whose blood has been shed and like Abel's blood is now crying up from the ground?  God sees it all!  He knows it all and nothing is hidden that will not be revealed. 

We want our nation spared the natural disasters and yet do we deserve that our nation be spared?  This is a soul searching question but one that needs to be asked.  Are we asking the Lord to also change the hearts of those that are pondering abortions in the near future?  Even this next week abortions are scheduled and yet we forget and these lives hang in the balance.  Could we by our prayer change the hearts of many of these mothers?  Can we change the heart of a nation through prayer, fasting and intercession?  Yes we can!!!  We have been called for such a time as this to make a difference, in the lives of others.  Do you believe the Lord wants to use you to pray, stand in the gap and repent of the sin of abortion in our land?

The unborn are crying out as they are taken to the slaughter.  Doctors that perform these abortions are murdering children.  Mothers and Fathers who have abortions are killing their children and so many later live with deep regret troubling them each and every day of their lives.  I know of one woman who suffered mental illness because of the abortion she had in her early life. 

Let the Lord tenderize your heart to the cry of the unborn.  Let Him stir you to stand in the gap.  Let Him allow you to see sin as sin and not call it otherwise.  The Lord saw the blood of Abel crying out and He sees the blood of each and every child that has been shed.  Abortion breaks the commandment of the Lord that says, you shall not kill.  In having an abortion you are committing murder.  

Father God will most surely forgive you for having had an abortion and cover this sin in His precious blood.  He is a loving and forgiving God.  He is merciful to those that repent.  Let us also repent of not carrying this burden and passing it off for others to take care of.  Let us pray for our leaders that they hear the Lord and have their eyes opened to see.  Let us cry out and spare not that the fear of God and a spirit of repentance come upon the people of our land and see if the Lord will again show our nations favor.  

Now is the time to repent of our sin!  Now is the time to hear Him!  Now is the time to not delay but come quickly to Him in repentance!  Now is the time for tomorrow may be too late!  Now is the time to hear the voice of the Lord as He is speaking to many in the nations.  God is raising up youth with a standard.  He is raising up prophetic voices among our youth today that will go far beyond that which we have done for the Lord and will walk fearlessly speaking the whole counsel of God.  Let us pray for these youth that God will raise them up with His fire in their bones and that they will speak without fear of man.  Let us pray everywhere without doubting what the Lord will do for a nation that walks in repentance and fear of the Lord.  Let us watch and pray, and repent and of our sin.  9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Remember: You must continue to fight! by Henry Falcone

Remember: You must continue to fight!
Posted By: Henry Falcone

My beautiful Bride in waiting, you must continue to fight. You must continue to press through. Don't stop now. Don't get caught in the ordinary. Don't allow the circumstances to stop you from being with Me. You must continue to fight. Yes, many have said this is the "fight of faith, or that is the "fight of faith," but the true fight of faith is, "For he that comes to God, must believe that He is, and He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

You must press through. You must not stop. You must continue to fight of faith and believe that I AM that I AM! The things around you will not get easier. I warned you that in the last days there would be perilous times, hard to deal with and hard to bear. They are upon you now. The time of all things to be completed will soon come upon the world.

You must contend for that which is most precious. You must not allow the enemy to rob you of abiding in the vine, I am the vine you are my branches. Remember apart from me you can do nothing. You must fight everyday to overcome the "ordinary, the trials, tribulations that come in this life and enter into my Sabbath Day rest I have prepared for the people of God. If Joshua had provided for you, I would not have mentioned another day. So my love, my undefiled one, you must "strive diligently" to enter into that rest.

I am that resting place, and your place is to be fully in Me and Me in you that we are one just as I prayed and recorded by John. The Father in Me, me in the Father and you and us. Why? So the world would believe that the Father loves you the same way that He loves me. Why? So they would believe that the Father sent me to save the world.

It is time for you to come to full grown maturity. I am about to accelerate this work in those who have prepared themselves and are looking for Me alone. Those who have come past the things my hands provide, or the blessings that I give. But to those who have Me alone as their desire a great expansion is about to come, a great supernatural maturity is going to be released to finish the work I have started in you. And you will be a witness to the Gospel of the Kingdom in every nation and then the end will come.

You must continue to fight for our "relationship" to be what I desire it to be. There many things you must overcome, the flesh, the devil, life as you know it, to press into the Holy of Hollies where you will receive My Glory, the Glory my father said I could give to you, that we would be one.

You must not let the situations stop you. You must not let the family problems stop you. You must not let the affairs of the world stop you. You must not let your job, your home, or anything stop you from being with Me. For I have promised to come and bring you back, so that where I am you shall also be. Today, I want to release a deeper warring heart in you. A deeper spirit in you that will contend for that place I have prepared for you by my side. A deeper love to be with me as I so long to be with you.

I know many of you are battle wearied. Many of you "my loves" have been wounded and broken in this process. Many of you say, "Lord, I can't even lift up my head." "I can't even see a better day." My tender ones, I will never leave you or forsake you and never leave you without the help you need.

I am causing you to go beyond the natural. I am causing you to go beyond your flesh or your own strength and ability. I am causing you to overcome all these things in weakness so you can receive my strength. My strength is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

Have you learned what I have been trying to teach you? Are you allowing me to empty you of your wisdom, strength and power. Yes, my love that is what these circumstances will work in you, if you allow my heart and my desires to be your desires. Then you will stop kicking against my working, but you will surrender to it, and I will work my power in your speedily and cause you to grow beyond the years of a natural believer.

You must continue to fight. You must pray and seek me like never before. You must come and dwell in the secret place with me in My Tent of Meeting for there I will give you my love and through my love for you, you will overcome the world even as My Father's love for Me caused me to overcome the world for you. AS I WAS IN THE WORLD, SO ARE YOU!

Now rise up my love, my fair one, and come away with me into the new heights I have for you, but you must contend for it. You must continue to fight and refuse to be defeated. Even if you stumble and fall, get up right away and refuse to lose. Refuse to be defeated for not one weapon formed against you will prosper and every tongue that rises up against you shall be condemned. If I am for you, says the Lord, who can be against you.

You must continue to fight. You must continue to pray. You must continue to seek me with all your heart. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Remember, you must continue to fight!

Infinite Supply - Today's Message from Chip Brogden

February 17
INFINITE SUPPLY
Today's Message from Chip Brogden

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."
MATTHEW 5:3


This spiritual poverty is the result of recognizing that apart from
Him we can do nothing. It is a willingness to be broken and reduced
to spiritual bankruptcy, which implies not only losing everything
we once enjoyed, but also making a fresh start with a clean slate
and all our debts erased. It is the Second Universal Spiritual
Principle, which states: "I must decrease" (John 3:30). This
decreasing, or as I like to say, this reducing to Christ, is the
first requirement.

If we are unwilling to be emptied then we cannot have the riches of
the Kingdom of Heaven. We will be like the Laodicean church, who
said they were "rich and increased with goods and have need of
nothing" yet in God's sight they were poor, blind, naked, and
miserable (Revelation 3:17). So the Kingdom belongs to those who
readily admit right from the beginning that "a man can receive
nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven " (John
3:27).

Inaccurate Prophetic Releases

 Inaccurate Prophetic Releases
by Apostle Adrienne Williams
 
 
People of God, there are too many people who are opening themselves up and allowing their Spirit to be soiled and contaminated with someone else's religious waste. In simplicity, cease allowing people to deposit their garbage into your spirit! Cease allowing people to "practice" their prophesying on you!

There are many CHOSEN vessels that God HAS, indeed, ALREADY positioned to deal with those who either "prey" on unknowing believers or continue to attempt to deposit "surface" prophesies or even worse, RECYCLED prophecies that they may have heard from someone else, into the spirit of an unsuspecting believer. In other words, the time has come when those CHOSEN vessels will JUDGE THAT WORD being released at the very moment that they hear.

This means that if it is a false word or a "fleshly" word, it SHALL be revealed at the moment of release. When people come to you under the auspices of "feeling your Spirit" or "picking you up in the Spirit", you need to immediately stop them right then and there (in love) and inquire concerning EXACTLY what it is that are "picking up" or "feel!" A true messenger WILL be able to advise you further and give you a certain measure of details! That's IF, the word they are attempting to deliver is truly coming from the Lord!

Our Father is in need of CLEAN and PURE vessels to deliver ACCURATE and PRECISE words of correction and edification to His people to assist in their spiritual maturation. Not merely vessels who have succumb to familiarity and are satisfied functioning in "a form" of godliness with NO POWER!

Grace and peace,
Apostle Adrienne Williams

A Scripture to Memorize

18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18
