Phyllis Ford Excerpt of 2016 Word Uprooting Folly and Seduction

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."
