From the desk of Steve Shultz:
We've been receiving many awesome, prophetic words for the New Year...and they are quite longer than normal, since it's an overall scope of whole year. This is one such word by Phyllis Ford that we decided to break into two parts since it was quite lengthy.
We are in a new time of awakening as Phyllis shares here:
"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.
As in her Part 1 word, there is a lot to this article...and you may need to read it a couple of times to take it all in...as there are many prophetic nuggets in her word.

"Word of the Lord for 2016 and for the Month of January - Part 2"
Phyllis Ford, Arlington, TX
Below is Part 2 to Phyllis Ford's Word of the Lord for 2016. To read Part 1 click here.
The following is a compilation of dreams, visions, and utterances I received from the Lord concerning the coming year 2016.
His Words: Your Dry Ground is About to Become Your Watered Garden with Rapid Growth and Harvest
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 on behalf of His people. The events, even the tests and trials that were experienced during this phase, have been the ground for that which the Lord is establishing now.
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 its 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 year's 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.
God then 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 likened 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 led 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 an apostolic and prophetic order that will change churches and even house meetings.(Photo via Pixabay)
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 onset 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 within the government and different organizations. From CEOs 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.

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 the fear of the Lord is the 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, or 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 Psalms 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, "Galatians, 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 cannot 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 heart's 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 that 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 began by stating that the spirit of pride operates as the spirit of Leviathan, which is described as twisted, misleading, or crooked (or making 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, that He watches over it. Here in this prophetic word, the planting of truth and understanding a sonship identity uproots the lies of the enemy. Then it goes on to unveil the Scripture of Job 41, which says a hook will be used to draw out this Leviathan ("spirit of lies").
The Lord showed me in a dream that the hook was a connection to a season in time. In 5776, the Hebrew letter vav, which is said to represent the number 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.
And 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 the 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, 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." (Photo via Pixabay)
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 (KJV) "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.
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 its mark at the beginning of this New Year.
His Words: You Shall be Changed Under An Umbrella of My 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, or 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."

Don't let the night defeat you. Don't let the night destroy you. Don't let the night come in between you and the things that matter most. Don't let the unknown, the mystery, and the areas of darkness come in between you and the move of God. The night is fading! (Photo via Unsplash)
It's time for you to go deep once again. It's time for you to put yourself out, to be brave, courageous and vulnerable, and to let down your nets! Let down your guards! Let down your pride! Let down your crowns! Lay it all down. It takes courage to gain the harvest. It takes hope to gain the harvest. Be encouraged! The harvest is ripe and ready. All you must do, is heed the voice of the Master! What is He telling you to do today, right here and right now? (Photo via Unsplash)
