NOTES:  GOLDEN ARMOR OF GOD – 1307 

By Annamarie Strawhand – 10/13/26 

I have something the Lord showed me via a number He gave me today 1307

Today is the 13th, and we are in the timing of the “7” right now in the Hebrew year

so I looked up 1307 in the Strong’s Hebrew and Greek

so the Hebrew means “Armor Bearer”

The Greek means “translucent gold”

The Armor of God is translucent gold!

I am an “armor bearer” this ministry is, you are! We are putting the armor of God on ourselves and many others!

The Armor of God is translucent, but in the spirit it is pure GOLD

It is like the streets of gold in heaven!

You are wearing heavenly gold, so bright it blinds the enemy

Topical Lexicon

Biblical Setting

“Berothite” (Hebrew בֵּרֹתִי) identifies someone hailing from Beeroth, a town allied with the Gibeonite confederation (Joshua 9:17). The single explicit use of the term under this Strong’s number appears in the roster of David’s mighty men: “Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah” (1 Chronicles 11:39). A parallel list in 2 Samuel 23:37 repeats the description, underlining the importance of origin designations in chronicling Israel’s military elites.

Geographical Context: Beeroth

Beeroth lay in the central hill country, approximately eight miles northwest of Jerusalem, within the territorial allotment later assigned to Benjamin (Joshua 18:25). Along with Gibeon, Chephirah, and Kiriath-jearim, Beeroth entered covenant with Israel during the conquest (Joshua 9). Though the city’s inhabitants became “woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation” (Joshua 9:27), Scripture records them dwelling among Israel for centuries. Beeroth’s status as a Benjaminite town explains why a Berothite could naturally serve in the army of David, himself ruling from Jerusalem and Hebron.

Historical Background: The Gibeonite Covenant

Beeroth’s people benefited from the oath Joshua swore before the LORD (Joshua 9:15–19). That covenant guaranteed protection despite their ruse. Generations later, when Saul broke the treaty and sought to annihilate Gibeon, the ensuing famine under David (2 Samuel 21:1–9) demonstrated divine fidelity to the original compact. Thus, a Berothite in David’s ranks signals the ongoing integration of covenant-bound foreigners and their descendants into Israel’s national life.

Role in Davidic Narrative

1 Chronicles 11 parallels 2 Samuel 23 in celebrating the exploits of warriors whose loyalty undergirded David’s kingdom. Naharai the Berothite, though mentioned briefly, is honored among those who risked life and limb in service to the anointed king. His specific office—armor-bearer to Joab—signifies close personal trust. An armor-bearer not only transported weapons but also shared strategic counsel and protected his commander in close combat. Naharai’s presence testifies to the multi-tribal and multi-ethnic composition of David’s army, a foreshadowing of the Messiah’s kingdom that gathers the faithful from every nation.

Covenantal and Theological Observations

  1. Covenant Faithfulness: The survival and prominence of a Berothite centuries after Joshua highlight God’s unwavering commitment to His word. Human unfaithfulness (Saul’s massacre, 2 Samuel 21) could not nullify divine promise.
  2. Inclusion by Grace: Naharai serves on equal footing with Judeans, Benjaminites, and even an Ammonite (Zelek) in the same verse. Those once outside the Abrahamic line find secure standing when they embrace the LORD’s king—anticipating the Gospel’s Jew-Gentile unity (Ephesians 2:11-22).
  3. Leadership under Authority: As Joab’s armor-bearer, Naharai illustrates the biblical model of delegated responsibility. Leaders depend on faithful subordinates who in turn exercise courage and integrity.

Ministry Lessons and Applications

  • Faithful Service in Obscurity: Though Naharai receives only a handful of words, Scripture immortalizes his dedication. Believers today can labor confidently, knowing God notices every act of loyalty (1 Corinthians 15:58).
  • Unity in Diversity: The table of mighty men encourages congregations to value every background represented in Christ’s body, recognizing that shared allegiance to the King transcends ethnic or social distinctions (Galatians 3:28).
  • Covenant Accountability: The famine narrative linked to Beeroth warns leaders never to treat lightly the covenants and promises of God. Ministry decisions must align with His revealed word, lest unintended consequences afflict the community.

Key Cross References

Joshua 9:17; 9:26-27 – Beeroth enters covenant with Israel.

Joshua 18:25 – Beeroth listed among Benjamin’s towns.

2 Samuel 4:2-3 – Flight of Beeroth’s residents to Gittaim during unrest in Saul’s house.

2 Samuel 21:1-9 – Famine arising from Saul’s violation of the Gibeonite covenant.

2 Samuel 23:37 – Parallel mention of Naharai the Berothite.

1 Chronicles 11:39 – Sole occurrence of Strong’s Hebrew 1307.

Conclusion

Though appearing only once, the designation “Berothite” encapsulates a rich tapestry of covenant history, divine faithfulness, and military valor. It underscores that God weaves even the briefest human accounts into His overarching redemptive plan, honoring those who trust Him and serve His anointed king with unwavering devotion.

Annamarie: That’s exactly why the enemy can’t see us when we are armored up!!!!

It has to do with the mighty men of King David

It shows up in https://biblehub.com/bsb/1_chronicles/11.htm

111

111 The Armor is multiplied

King David and the Mighty men had the Armor of God

We now have it!

1 Chronicles 11

THE ARMOR BEARER

King David refused to wear “sauls” armor before he went to kill Goliath! He knew he already had the ARMOR OF GOD!

Yes! They were armor bearers!

1307!!!! THE ARMOR OF GOD IS TRANSLUCENT GOLD AND BLINDS THE ENEMY! 

We are Armor wearers and Armor Bearers!

What an honor!!

Interestingly, the 1307 in Hebrew “armor bearer” only shows up in 1 Chronicles 11 concerning the armor of King David’s mighty men. Then in the Greek, the 1307 only shows up one time in Revelation 21:21 for “appearing as translucent gold”

13 meaning righteous rebel, and the 13th tribe of Israel, “Ephraim,” “America”

07 meaning “7” work completed and enter God’s rest, and “completeness,” and 7 meaning the “7 spirits of God” and fullness!

“Seven marks where God is doing something by His Spirit apart from any other source. It is the number that marks his rest and where he rules over all things created. Seven is perfection of Spirit. It is also the most sacred of numbers to the Hebrews.” – Pastor Troy Brewe

21:21 !!!!

21 is the “manifest presence of God,” so the armor of God is the actual manifest presence of God upon you in “fullness”.

PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD!

EVERY PIECE!

THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT FOR THIS REVELATION!

Also, the “Mighty Men” of King David started out as men who really did not have any money or status – they were really average guys who were inspired by King David when he killed Goliath! They decided to follow him and fight with him! They became amazing soldiers and fighters and became very wealthy with King David!

That reminds me of Jesus! They were very average men that He called, and He blessed them!

It reminds me of George Washington and the Continental Army!

It reminds me of President Trump and the MAGA movement!

THE ARMOR OF GOD! ARROW PROOF AND BULLET PROOF AND GOLDEN!

According to the Bible in 1 Samuel 22:2, King David’s original followers were not just poor, but were described as a group of distressed, indebted, and discontented individuals who gathered around him at the Cave of Adullam. They were just local struggling people like the fishermen of Jesus and the farmers and settlers of the 13 colonies and even us today as struggling Americans!

1 Samuel 22:2 KJV: And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

It’s the RIGHTEOUS REBELS “13”

1 Samuel 2:22 David Flees to Adullam and Mizpeh

1So David left Gath and took refuge in the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there. 2And all who were distressed or indebted or discontented rallied around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him. 3From there David went to Mizpeh of Moab, where he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother stay with you until I learn what God will do for me.”…

Sounds like Jesus and the 12 disciples!

Sounds like George Washington and the Continental Army

Sounds like President Trump and the MAGA

IT ALL LINES UP

The mighty men of King David became very wealthy!

These struggling “original followers” of King David became a mighty army!

KING DAVID:

King David’s mighty men did not start out rich or famous. According to the biblical record in 1 Samuel 22:2, the core group originally gathered around David at the Cave of Adullam when he was fleeing King Saul, and they were famously described as distressed, in debt, and discontented. [1, 2]

Through their loyalty, service, and participation in David’s rise to the throne and military campaigns, their status completely transformed. [1, 2]

Ephesians 6:10-20 

The Whole Armor of God

10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [b]wiles of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [c]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Here is how the Lord brought this word today!

Our ministry has been appointed to teach everyone to suit up daily in their Armor of God! We are armor bearers!

Mike was not planning on going anywhere today, but his back started to hurt this morning, so he called our chiropractor, and he got right in this morning and came home with the coffee and pie to surprise me

I had been asking the Lord to reveal “next steps” to me

I also have been decreeing and declaring 1 Ephesians 17-23! God of our Lord Jesus Christ, Father of Glory, give unto me Your Spirit of Wisdom, Knowledge and Revelation!

He finds a way to get it to you, but we have to seek it deeper! Proverbs 25:2: “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.”

Prophetic Timing! Amos 9:11-15 Blessing!

Prophetic Timing! Amos 9:11-15 Blessing!

This is a transcription of an excerpt of the Life in the Faith Lane broadcast on September 8, 2026, where Annamarie Strawhand taught about the prophetic timing of the Amos 9:11-15 blessing.

Watch the video, and then read the transcript below.

 

Annamarie: This is this Amos 9:11, 12, 13, 14, 15 time for accelerated harvest on your seed, and we’re going to pray that.

Jennifer make a note that we’re going to start praying that over every tithe and seed and offering that comes in – Amos 9:11, 12, 13, 14, 15 for this prophetic timing. Thank you, Lord.

Look, your seed is for God. The harvest is for you. What will God do with your seed? Well, his word says God will give seed to the sower and as long as the earth lives, there will be a harvest on the seed. The earth is still living and God takes and multiplies your seed. And if you name your seed, okay, so she planted a seed and, and she names the seed “new car,” “new home.” 

Um, Mike and I, we planted a seed for our daughter Landry’s new job. We also planted a seed for a new shed. You plant a seed for someone’s salvation. It will bring a harvest of its kind, whatever you spoke over that seed. And when we touch and agree, that’s the power of agreement. And we, we add God’s word to that and ask for acceleration. Wow.

Amos 9:11 is about a time of the outpouring of blessing on God’s people. 9/11 is around the time of Jesus Christ’s actual birth. That’s the season it was in. So we take the number 911. We take it back for Jesus, and we take God’s word and we speak it over our seed. Come on.

11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this.
13 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.

The True Meaning of The Firmament – Earth is NOT Flat – It’s Firm

The True Meaning of The Firmament – Earth is NOT Flat – It’s Firm

The True Meaning of The Firmament – Earth is NOT Flat – It’s Firm

For those who are new to the Christian faith, say within 3 to 4 years, and who have not immersed themselves in a systematic study of Scripture, it is easy to get verses out of context. The literature of the Bible is just as rich as the truth it conveys. There are historical books, poetic books, prophetic books, etc…. There are also figures of speech and many means that Hebrew writers used to convey truth through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I do want to point out that there are various references in the Bible for the sphere of the earth. For homework, review Proverbs 8:27, Isaiah 40:22, and Job 26:10.

What matters to me is that people work to understand the truth of Scripture. It takes attention, time, and dedication. The Word says to study, so study.

I personally believe by the leading of the Word and the Holy Spirit that the earth is a round sphere held “firmly” together by the power of God.   For example, are our heads flat with domes over them? No! Our heads are round and spherical with the power of God holding everything in place “firm” so your eyeballs don’t roll out of your head.  His power dwells in the firmament.   The firmament is what holds the earth and everything together!  The creation is “firm”.

Understanding the earth itself and everything on it is actually made firm by sound vibration from the voice of God.  The Firmament is the Power of the Spirit of God that holds everything in the earth on the earth and around the earth together in a round ball, like your own head.   The Creator holds us together, His creation as humans and earth itself, HE holds everything together perfectly chemically and magnetically on the earth as a round sphere – He does this by His POWER.  The Firmament is the Power of God itself!

Psalm 150:1

King James Bible

“Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.”

THE FIRMAMENT IS THE POWER OF GOD ALL OVER THE EARTH HOLDING IT TOGETHER PERFECTLY.

The GLORY of GOD In the FIRMAMENT of his Power.

Here is a good study resource:

https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/evans/N04184.0001.001/1:4?rgn=div1;view=fulltext

People are making this flat earth their religion. Its getting away from the great commission of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am not concerned about all the flat earth talk. My concern is getting people activated in their purpose for Jesus Christ who will come back to the earth and we need to be faithful and not distracted arguing over the shape of the earth. Instead be reminded we are to pray for the earth to be prepared for Jesus Christ, and yes take dominion of  the earth, for the Kingdom of God, it is our inheritance.

Be focused on your calling, purpose and obedience to the Lord for your time on the earth, and remember God will pour out His spirit on all flesh (creation).  The earth itself is a creature, like us.  It’s crying out for us to become mature in Christ to take dominion and love the earth itself to take it back for Jesus Christ, and not argue what shape it is.
We are taking it all back for the Kingdom! Whoo hooo!

The Difference Between Pride And A Victory Mindset

The Difference Between Pride And A Victory Mindset

There has been much talk about President Trump being prideful. Even Christian leaders have called for the people to pray that he will be more humble and even to pray against “pride” because he stands strong on his convictions and pushes through “his plans” in spite of what other people think or feel about it.  This is not “pride” in President Trump, this is a Victorious Mindset. 

We must understand that the religious spirit does not like people with confidence and a victorious mindset that questions their “rules” that keep people weak and complacent. Jesus did the same thing. The Pharisees did not like Jesus’ confidence and did not like him encouraging the people to be confident in their minds with God because they could not “control” that. It’s a religious pharisee spirit. 

Pride is something that is evident in people who are actually takers, not givers. Victorious people love to share in the spoils of victory.  Humility is actually when a person wants to share in the blessings and help others.  Victorious people want to have a reminder of victory all around them, to stay focused on victory to keep encouraging them in the battles. The trophy case is not a prideful thing, it’s a reminder that you can win and encourages you to keep going and use it as an example to others.  

Prideful people do not want to encourage others to be winners. They call out those who are actually winners as “prideful” as a warning to others not to be winners!  That’s the difference. Jesus warned us of prideful people who we should not throw our pearls to, as they would just trample on them and never encourage us to be better. Jesus encouraged us to encourage and “build each other up” –1 Thessalonians 5:11. That is not pride, it’s a victorious mindset.  

When Jesus called me to ministry, He specifically said His people do not know how to be victorious for the Kingdom, and Jesus wanted me to teach people how to be victorious for the Kingdom. I had to learn the difference between “pride” and a “victorious mind”.

Pride is when you want to control others and force them into your thinking. A victorious mindset is when you become an example for others to be successful and encourage them so that they can be successful too because you want them to be blessed. I look at people like President Trump and his family. They all have a victorious mindset and look to build up others, especially our Nation and most of all a focus on our children. 

Discerning the difference: Prideful people twist words like leviathan whom Jesus called a lying twisting serpent to control and manipulate. They make it sound good, but it’s not truth. Victorious people speak the truth like it is even if it offends, like Jesus did.

When Trump speaks of being a winner and others being losers, he is only speaking of those he considers enemies of the people, not just himself. He is doing this to wake people up to the truth like Jesus did when He called Herod a fox and the Pharisees vipers. Every time, we find out that Trump was right about those people because he calls it like it is. Jesus did the same thing!

Pride is an evil spirit that comes inside a person that thinks they can do better than God, they even want to challenge God, “did God really say?” like the snake in the Garden. Victorious people point to God and want to see God win and God’s people win.

Trump does love success, and he loves the things of success, and he speaks positive words over himself and his life. He was a parishioner of Norman Vincent Peale’s church as a youth and learned the biblical truth “as a man speaketh so he is” and the power of positive thinking. (Proverbs 23:7) Trump is quoted through the years, “If you are going to be thinking, think big.” Thinking big is not prideful, it’s actually Biblical. Mark 9:23: All things are possible for those who believe.  

Trump is a believer in Jesus Christ and has pointed to Jesus in many of his speeches.  He has been known to ask Church leaders why they have not stood up against evil agendas and realized many of them felt bound by being a 501c3 tax exemption, and Trump alleviated that 501c3 status so more church leaders could speak up freely against evil in the government and not fear that their churches would be shut down.

Trump has also rewarded many Christian warriors and loves bold preaching and also boldly put our US Embassy in Jerusalem. He is not prideful, he is fearless. He loves to see rewards for his work. It pushes him to keep a winning mindset and not grow weary. 

King David did that. King David liked “rewards”. Remember, as a boy, he asked what the reward was for taking out Goliath? Trump is the same way! That’s why he is the King David of our time. God is reminding us how to be winners!

Jesus said we are victorious gatekeepers! The gates of hell will not prevail against us, and that takes confidence. We have to get out of the “doormat” mentality and step into our role as door keepers by taking possession of the land and territory for Christ and making it better for the people to do the works of the Kingdom and that takes wealth and success and Victorious Mindset.

This is why we are in the timing of the transference of wealth. Not to accumulate to be prideful misers, but to share it and use it for the Kingdom of God and prepare the bride of Christ, to rebuild the waste places and make them beautiful again. (Isaiah 61) Jesus is a builder!  So we should be too!

We, as the Church, must be confident and have a victorious mindset and boldness.

God sent Trump to remind us, and I am honored to help!

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
— Hebrews 10:35

No more wimpy church!

The demons are screaming and freaking out because a confident, victorious church is arising. President Trump is chosen by God for this time to help the church become what she is meant to be – a sparkling, bold, beautiful, confident, victorious bride! That’s not pride, that’s establishing a path of victory for the bride! 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN US, AND WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST! 

Let’s be ready for Jesus to see His bride so incredibly beautiful and victorious that makes Him proud of us in a way of a good proud, a well-done, loving proud because we understood the power to be victorious was with us the whole time, and that He died for us to have it. We did not squander it. We occupy for Jesus and prepare His Kingdom here to dwell with us on the earth!  We take the Kingdom by force meaning because Jesus already won it for us, it’s been given to us by our King of Kings, here in the earth!

VICTORY IS OURS, AND WE HAVE TO BE BOLD FOR JESUS WITH NO EXCUSES OR APOLOGIES. JUST DO IT (and ignore the Pharisees)!

Keep on winning! It’s not pride, it’s your purpose and portion through Christ. We can all learn from President Trump how to be winners and know that’s our purpose to use each victory to build and accelerate the Kingdom of God on the earth. 

Prayer For Building and Restoration Projects with Financial Decree and Scriptural Teaching (Zechariah 4:6)

Prayer For Building and Restoration Projects with Financial Decree and Scriptural Teaching (Zechariah 4:6)

Transcription of the teaching and prayer that the Holy Spirit gave to Annamarie Strawhand, which she shared during her broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane on February 25, 2026.

Watch the video, and then read the transcript below.

 

ANNAMARIE: Is this a word for somebody here? Hm? Have you been asking God for the finances to repair something, renovate something, build something? Hm? And you’ve been like, “Oh, maybe we should get a loan or maybe we should borrow the money or … You’re trying to come up with all, you know, these, these man’s ways and ideas to do it, and you’re worried about how it’s going to get done, how it’s going to be, [Sound effect]. And the Lord is saying, “Stop worrying about the how, and stop looking about, at man’s ways to do it.” 

The Lord wants this building to be done even more than you. And we need to get in obedience with His word and align with His word and stop worrying about the how. Stop worrying about the when, and just know, “not by power, not by might, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord. 

So right now, let’s put our faith together. Let’s just reach towards each other. Come on, let’s pray. 

Pray Out Loud

“Heavenly Father, Father God, You know what the desires of our hearts are for building and renovating right now – building up our homes, building new homes, renovating our homes, building a garage, a shed, building a church, building a ministry, acquiring land and developing it for our households, for our kingdom businesses, our farms. Whatever it is, Father God, rebuilding our cities, building for the kingdom. Father, You want this building up and building back America. Father God, You want this even more than we do, and we’re coming into alignment with Your word, according to Zechariah 4:6, that You want the building to begin and that it pleases you. 

“We’re ready to begin it, Father God, and we will not look to man’s ways for this, and we repent if we allowed anxiety and worry to get to  us. We repent for jumping into things that we shouldn’t have jumped into when we should have waited on Your Holy Spirit. We ask Jesus to put His blood on that, and release us of the consequences of that. And Father, we come humbly before You fresh and new with our hearts laid before You. We ask that these building projects that we have, these building and renovation projects that we are believing You for that we are in need of, even if it’s a new house, that not by power, not by might, but by Your Holy Spirit it is being done, and we believe it by faith and we trust it. We’re not worried about the when. We’re not worried about the how. We just know you’re going to do it through Your Holy Spirit, and if You are leading us to do something and Your Holy Spirit tells us to do something, we partner with Your Holy Spirit on this, and we will listen, and we will be obedient, and we receive the finances to do this, Father God, and the help, the builders, everything that You have for us – the technicians and subcontractors, the tradesmen and women. We receive them, Father God, and we will do what You tell us to do by the leading of Your Holy Spirit. 

“We thank You, Father, for this word. We thank You for Zechariah. We thank You for Your prophet. We thank You for Your word. Your word will fulfill itself, and we stand on this word, and we are in expectation of Your glory in all of this, Father God, in Jesus’ name. Amen and amen. We place this prayer in the blood of Jesus, and, Father, we thank You for Your word, in Jesus’ name.” AMEN!

ANNAMARIE: Wow, now did you receive that prayer? And, you know, we could also go to the scriptures where God told King David to build a house in Jerusalem, and you know what King David said? “If You dwell with me there, Lord.” God wants to be a part of the building. So as soon as KIng David invited the Lord to dwell with him where they were gonna build a house, God said, “I will dwell with you there, and we will build this together.” And immediately He told King David to send for the lumber to come from, right, cedars of Lebanon for beams. God began to work with King David to go and get all the materials, the craftsmen. 

So I believe another big part of this is, “Lord, I want You to partner with me in the building. I want You to partner with me in the renovations. I want You to dwell with me here and enjoy it. Enjoy the new home with me. Enjoy the brand new kitchen with me, Lord. I invite you.”

And just, you know, and that’s another word we can stand on and say, “Lord, remember when You told King David to build his house in Jerusalem, and he invited You to dwell with him there at that house, and it pleased You so greatly that You sent for all the materials to build the house, the best of materials.” 

And so we’re asking for that too. So, Father, in the name of Jesus, we invite You to dwell with us in these places where we’re building. Come and be with me at the kitchen table. Enjoy the kitchen with me, the brand new renovated kitchen. Come and dwell with me, Lord, and enjoy it with us. You did it for King David when he asked You to come and dwell with him in his new house he was building, and I ask You to do it for me too, Lord. I’m inviting You to dwell in this new kitchen with us and sit around the table with us, and cook the meals with us. Be a part of this whole brand new renovation, and enjoy it with us with Your Holy Spirit. King Jesus, knock at this door, and we will say, “Come in, King Jesus,” and You will sit and sup with us. 

He wants to be a part of it. He wants to be with us, and He will send for all the materials we need. So we gotta make sure that we don’t allow our emotions or our disappointment, or, “Oh, it’s not happening fast enough, or my husband da da da, whatever, or blah, blah, blah or this and that,” right? If we let all that other stuff get in the way, what’s it showing? It’s showing that we’re not trusting God, that we’re looking at man’s ways instead of God’s ways. “Not by power, not by might, but by My spirit,” says the Lord. 

We gotta be reminded, God is not delaying things. He’s arranging things, and His timing is perfect, and we can’t look to man to do this in man’s ways and all of our logic, right? We gotta keep that Zechariah 4:6 scripture very close to us all the time and say, “Oh, wait a minute, ‘not by power, not by might, but by your spirit,’ says the Lord. I trust the Holy Spirit is working on this right now. I’m not gonna worry about the how. I’m not gonna worry about the when. I’m not gonna worry about the who, what, when, where, and why. I’m gonna put my focus on the spirit of the living God that put everything together perfectly in the perfect timing with all the perfect people, with all the perfect finances. He brings it all together, so he can be glorified in it and enjoy it with us, and be partnered with us in it. 

Wow, I’m so grateful that God gave me that word, and I’m so grateful that I could share it with all of you. So pay attention to the signs God has given you every day. Some of you might come here and say, “Gee, Coach Annamarie,” you, you don’t know if you’re hearing from God. So if you’re here today, and you’ve come to this broadcast, you’ve heard from God because I asked the Holy Spirit to go and get who needs to be here today, and if He has a word for you, that I would be obedient to bring it.

He loves you. He sees you. He hears you. He is leading you. He is talking to you. Hallelujah! God is going to bring it all together for good. Trust Him in all this, and if He leads you to pray a specific prayer on a specific scripture, do it. He wants you to partner with the Holy Spirit on all of this.

There we are. Zechariah 4:6 – “And then He answered and spoke to me saying, ‘This is the word of the Lord unto Zerrubbabel.’” So Zechariah is the prophet that is standing in the court of Heaven witnessing the Lord Jesus Christ speaking to the high priest, Joshua. Okay? And Joshua knew that the tabernacle needed to be rebuilt, and he was petitioning the Lord for the temple to be rebuilt, and the Lord is saying to him, “This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel.” 

Now Zerubbabel was the governor or I would say the mayor, governor of Jerusalem at the time that would say, “Okay, let’s build,” but the Lord Jesus Christ is speaking to Joshua, the high priest. Zechariah is in the court of Heaven witnessing this as a prophet, and the Lord is saying, “Joshua, you go back and tell the governor that ‘not by might, not by power, not by man’s might, not by man’s power, but by the spirit of the living God,’ says the Lord of hosts. This will happen by My spirit.” And it did. It did. Wow! 

So if you wanna see something in your community be built. If you wanna see something in your state built. You wanna see something in our nation built, not just in our homes, this is the scripture, my friends. Wow, thank You, Lord. Thank You, Jesus.

Here’s the full scripture. Zechariah 4:9-10 – “In the hands of Zerubbabel, I have laid the foundation of this house.” That was the current governor of Jerusalem. “This hand shall also complete it. That when you know that I [sic] the Lord of Hosts has sent me to you. For whatever [sic], whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”

In other words, the Lord is saying do not despise the small things that are beginning. Do not despise the beginning of the new thing and the new building because it pleases the Lord to see the building begin. 

So this is what I’m going to start doing. I said to Mike, “Okay, we got the word, Zechariah 4:9, and it’s by the power of the Holy Spirit our kitchen will be renovated, but we got instructions to do this. We have to start what? Measuring. What’s a plumbline? It’s a form of measuring. 

So what the Lord wants you to do to get started is start measuring things out. So I said, “Okay, I’m gonna start measuring for the new island that I want to build in the center of the kitchen. I want to start measuring for the new floor, the new cabinets, the new appliances. I’m going to start measuring. I’m going to start writing those measurements down.” The Lord is saying, “Start measuring.” 

So that’s a prophetic act of faith when you start measuring and writing it down. Start measuring. If you’re looking for a new house or you’re going to build a new house say, “Okay, this is the square footage we’re looking at.” Start measuring out the plans and drawing them out. Even if you want to build a pool in the back yard and you’re going to be using it, not just for the kids to enjoy and you to enjoy, but you’re going to use it for prayer meetings, for baptisms, go outside and measure it out in the back yard. 

So that is the first step with this is this prophetic act of faith that you can do by beginning to measure and write it down and say, “Because, Lord, it says in Zechariah 4:6-10 that You, Lord, it blesses You, it pleases You to see the measuring start for these projects.”

Isn’t that something? Just by you measuring the things out with a tape measure and the plumbline shows God that you are, you believe Him that He’s doing this by His Holy Spirit and that you com, you commenced it by measuring. Isn’t that something? I just love that because God gives us the first step. 

You know, God will give us a prophetic word. He’ll tell us to have faith. He’ll tell us to believe Him, but then He will give us a first step. He’ll give us the first step. Isn’t that beautiful? Look at God. Look at God.
