Prayer for the Manna and The Rewards Of Faithfulness

Prayer for the Manna and The Rewards Of Faithfulness

If you’re worried about finances or your children, if they’re prodigal or being irresponsible or how they’re going to pay their bills or how you’re going to pay your bills, etc., just know that sometimes we go through seasons of wilderness and trial because God is teaching us that He is our treasure. He is the one who sustains us and our children. He did it for the children of Israel with the manna. Our children and us will learn a lot when we go through hardships and see how God sustains us through them with His manna, His supply. We must learn how to overcome and stay calm in the process and believe that He is providing for you, your children, and your household.

Watch the video teaching below, and then proclaim the scripture, prayer, and declaration that follows.

 

Scripture Reference

“To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it.” Revelation 2:17

Pray Out Loud

Heavenly Father, Father God, I have been worried about my finances, about how I’m going to pay my bills, keep food on the table, keep the lights on, and make sure that my children are taken care of – even my older ones. Father God, I trust You. I trust that You are providing and sustaining the manna to me and my children and even more. You are growing us in the process. You are our treasure. You are our source of everything. You are bringing us out of this wilderness time, this wilderness season, and bringing us into our promises – the land of milk and honey of abundance! You are bringing me and my children to the good land of fruitfulness. 

Father, help us not to forget how You were the one who sustained us through this time. I am believing, Father God, for the promises, the generational promises for me, my children, and my household. Everyone who was in covenant with you, Father God, got land, and I am in covenant with You through King Jesus, so I receive my land. I receive my harvest. I receive the abundance from every good seed that I have sown. I have peace, and I am calm because I know that You are my provider, O Lord, O God, and that all of Your promises are yes and amen. I receive the good promises of God – for me, my children, and my household – in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ! Amen! Hallelujah!!

Declare Out Loud

I am blessed! Praise the Lord!

My children are blessed! Praise the Lord!

My household is blessed! Praise the Lord!

My finances and my provision are blessed! Praise the Lord! 

A Powerful Prayer Of Surrender

A Powerful Prayer Of Surrender

On Annamarie Strawhand’s March 15, 2024, broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane, a viewer commented: “Lord, replace my will and desires with your will and desires for me.” 

Annamarie explained that the only way to do that is by an act of surrender to allow God to flow to you and through you. There is power in surrender! If you really want God’s will to come in and move in your life, you need to get into the posture of surrender and ask Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit and His will for your life.

Watch the video below for more on this teaching, and then follow the instructions to take your posture of surrender face-down on the floor before God, and pray the prayer that follows.

 

Posture of Surrender

Put a beach towel or blanket on the floor and lay on your stomach, if you are physically able, and get on your face before God. If you can’t physically lie on the floor, get into a kneeling position and bow down. Do your best to get your head on the floor and stretch your arms out on the floor in front of you. This is a posture of surrender before the Lord.

Note: You don’t want to “empty yourself” because emptying yourself can be very dangerous. That’s what people do when they do Yoga meditations. You want to go before the Lord and surrender to Him. It’s an act of worship, an act of honor. It’s you presenting yourself — mind, body, soul, and spirit — to Father God.

You’re not replacing something in you. You’re asking God to fill you immediately with His will, His way, and His Holy Spirit and for Him to overtake you and fill you with His desires, plans, and purposes for you.

As you pray, release any resistance that you’re feeling in your body. Totally surrender, and receive the heaviness of His glory. Wait on Him until you feel it come upon you.

Pray Out Loud

  • “Heavenly Father, Almighty God, Father of Glory, I come to You today before Your throne in humble faith surrendering to You, Almighty God. I surrender my life, my mind, my body, my soul, and my spirit to You, Almighty God. In the name of my Lord Jesus Christ and through the blood of Jesus Christ, I surrender my will to Your will, Father God. I come before You in humility. Your word says that we are to humble ourselves under Your mighty right hand and that You will raise us up in due time. 


  • “I decree that my will now agrees with Your will, Father God. Reveal Your will to me every day, Father God. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, every part of me, and right now, in the name of Jesus Christ, I surrender to You, Father God. I want more of You, Father God. I love You, Father God. I’m seeking Your will. I’m seeking Your face. I ask you now, Father God, for You to reveal Your will to me. Give me understanding. Remove any scales off my eyes and lift any veils. Take any place of stone in my heart, and give me a heart of flesh. Give me a heart to know Your heart, Father God. 


  • “I command my soul to yield to You, God. My soul exalts you, God. I surrender to you, God. I surrender my life to You, Father God. You are my Father, my loving Father. I trust you, God, with my life, with my spouse, with my children, and with my finances. I surrender to You, God. I believe You are doing all things for my good. I believe I’m called to Your purpose. I ask for Your Holy Spirit to come upon me now. I receive that glory, that covering that only You can give me, Father. Fill me, Father God, with Your purpose. Fill me, Father God, with Your glory. Fill me, Father God, with Your spirit. I yield to You, Father God. I yield. I surrender to You, Father God. I receive Your will for my life, Father God. I receive Your heavy glory. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Father.


  • “My will is Your will, Father God. Thank You, Father God. I proclaim that my will is receiving the will of God. My mind, my will, my heart, my soul, my spirit, my ears, my mouth, my hands, and my feet are coming into alignment with the will and the word of God. Holy Spirit, flow to me and through me, rivers of living water. Thank You, Jesus. I command my emotions to yield to the will of God.” 

Raise up your hands, and feel the weight of his glory as you continue to pray out loud. 

  • “Heavenly Father, Father God, I am Yours, all of me. I belong to You. Have Your way with me, O Lord, O God. Your glory is my covering, and Your favor surrounds me as a shield. You’ve plucked my feet out of the net and have established my goings. Keep me on the path of righteousness so I will not veer from it. I thank You, Father, for being a good, good Father. Thank You for Your grace and mercy. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit that fills me, guides me, and reveals Your heart to me. I am one with You, Father, through Christ Jesus forever. I worship You, God. I worship You, Father.”

Can you feel the heaviness of the glory, the weight of the glory on you?

  • “Father, I thank you that the weight of Your glory is upon me. You are pouring Your will and Your understanding into me because of my act of surrender according to Your word as I have humbled myself under Your mighty right hand. I feel the weight, and You will exalt me in due time. I am never empty. I am filled with You, Father God. Thank You, Father God. Thank You, Holy Spirit. Thank You, Lord Jesus. Amen and amen.”

Wait On God

Believe by faith He’s doing this work in you. Keep surrendering. Lie there and wait on God until you begin to feel the heavy hand of God come upon you. While you wait, you can say, “Lord, fill me with Your Spirit. Fill me with Your plans and purposes. Fill me with Your presence. Place Your hand upon me, Lord.” 

The Bible says that we come under the mighty right hand of God, and you will feel that power, that heaviness come upon you. Sometimes you won’t even be able to get up off the floor for a few minutes because He’s coming in and doing that work in you.

1 Peter 5:6, KJV
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.”

 

Prophetic Rapture Revelation and Teaching

Prophetic Rapture Revelation and Teaching

This is Part 2 of a two-part teaching on the true meaning of the rapture. See Part 1: Biblical Understanding Of The True Rapture – You And Your Household Shall Be Saved

Watch the video and see the notes below.

 

NOTES

The Lord Gave Me Revelation

When he returns, Heaven comes to earth, and He fully takes over the second heaven where the powers and principalities are. We are called to gather with him. We’ll be “caught up with him,” meaning gathering, “like a hen gathers her chicks.” We are lifted up spiritually above the judgment, and Jesus has those who passed away with him. We don’t go back to Heaven because HE IS BRINGING HEAVEN HERE WITH HIM!

Comparison Of This Revelation With What Jesus Said In The Gospels And Psalm 37

Like the days of Noah – Powers and principalities were removed from the earth (giants, fallen angels, and Nephilim). After the flood, they went to the second heaven! Now Jesus overcame the world, the earth, and the sea and showed us how to bring the Kingdom of God to the earth in these days, giving us the legal right to destroy the principalities with repentance and his blood. When he returns for us — His TRIUMPHANT bride — He will fully overtake the AIR!

Anything in covenant with those principalities will be wiped out because the legal rights have all been removed!

He binds up satan and throws him into the abyss with his fallen angels and we rule and reign with Christ here on the earth for 1000 years of Peace.

The Church of Brotherly Love is established.

The Kingdom is established.

Heaven has come to earth and there are no principalities to stop it.

That’s why we have work to do.

That’s why Jesus said He would ‘GATHER’ US UNDER HIS WINGS like a hen does her chicks.

We don’t leave the planet! We win the planet!

The devil knows this. That’s why the territorial fights. That’s why the distorted rapture doctrine! 

It makes Christians stay focused on waiting to leave the planet instead of taking territory!

Doing Land Assignments has taught us this!

Psalms 37:10

“For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.”

The demonic has a “Place,” a territory to operate!

We overtake it, and the demonic operating there must leave. It has no legal right to stay!

Jesus told us this!

OCCUPY

Military Definition: control and possession of hostile territory that enables an invading nation to establish military government against an enemy or martial law against rebels or insurrectionists in its own territory.

WE ARE ESTABLISHING THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD, THE KINGDOM.

THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS TO TAKE OVER TERRITORY FOR CHRIST.

JESUS COUNTS ON US DOING THIS.

That is why when I was in Heaven with that encounter, I heard the two songs “Scotland the Brave” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” They are both battle victory songs!

In Scotland, when the town hears that song, they know the battalion is returning with a victory. They all run out of their homes and meet the victorious battalion coming over the hills and celebrating.

Tri·um·phant

/trīˈəmf(ə)nt/

adjective

having won a battle or contest; victorious.

“a comic fairy tale about innocence triumphant”

Similar:

victorious

successful

winning

prize-winning

conquering

undefeated

unbeaten

unvanquished

Opposite:

unsuccessful

defeated

losing

feeling or expressing jubilation after having won a victory or mastered a difficulty

Revelation 19:7 

“And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. 7Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. 8She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.…”

The Bridegroom lifts up the bride in the sedan chair when he picks her up for the wedding feast.

The rapture is the gathering up of the people in triumph to have a celebration on the earth that was just FULLY overtaken, including the air, by the saints on the ground taking territory.

These scriptures all confirm each other

The rapture meaning of “lifting up” is actually the overtaking of the air, “powers and principalities of the air,” meaning Jesus and us overcome that together! We meet in victory and are forever with him here on the earth!

Psalms 37:11

“But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”

Matthew 5:5-8

“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. [6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. [7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [8] Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”

This means the powers and principalities will be GONE!

Without those ruling principalities, the wicked have lost their legal rights to operate on the earth.

It’s all about us taking territory on the ground. When we do that, the principality in the air over that region is bound and cast out!

It’s so clear to me!

We overtake the air with Jesus!

This is why Jesus said THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST US.

We take the gates of the demonic in all territories.

When we do that on the ground, we know that Father releases his angel armies to take over that legal territory of the air.

We are called the “meek” because we humble ourselves under God!

We are called the righteous because we hunger for it and our hunger WILL BE SATISFIED.

It all makes sense!

WE ARE THE TRIUMPHANT BRIDE!!

This means we have to make a greater push for the Boots On The Ground Intercessors.

I see it all so clearly.

Jesus gave us the Keys to do this!

Jesus asked the Father not to take us out of the world but to preserve us here and protect us from the evil one.

John 17:14-16 

Prayer for the Disciples

“14 …I have given them Your word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.…”

2 Peter 3:8-13 ESV

“8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. 11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13 But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”

Compare 2 Peter 3:8-13 with Obadiah

Obadiah 1:1- 21 NLT

“1 This is the vision that the Sovereign Lord revealed to Obadiah concerning the land of Edom.

Edom’s Judgment Announced

“We have heard a message from the Lord that an ambassador was sent to the nations to say, “Get ready, everyone! Let’s assemble our armies and attack Edom!” 2 The Lord says to Edom, ‘I will cut you down to size among the nations; you will be greatly despised. 3 You have been deceived by your own pride because you live in a rock fortress and make your home high in the mountains. Who can ever reach us way up here?’ you ask boastfully. 4 But even if you soar as high as eagles and build your nest among the stars, I will bring you crashing down,’ says the Lord. 

“5 ‘If thieves came at night and robbed you (what a disaster awaits you!), they would not take everything. Those who harvest grapes always leave a few for the poor. But your enemies will wipe you out completely! 6 Every nook and cranny of Edom will be searched and looted.  Every treasure will be found and taken.

“7 ‘All your allies will turn against you. They will help to chase you from your land. They will promise you peace while plotting to deceive and destroy you. Your trusted friends will set traps for you, and you won’t even know about it. 8 At that time not a single wise person will be left in the whole land of Edom,” says the Lord. For on the mountains of Edom I will destroy everyone who has understanding. 9 The mightiest warriors of Teman will be terrified, and everyone on the mountains of Edom will be cut down in the slaughter.

Reasons for Edom’s Punishment

“10 ‘Because of the violence you did to your close relatives in Israel, you will be filled with shame and destroyed forever. 11 When they were invaded, you stood aloof, refusing to help them. Foreign invaders carried off their wealth and cast lots to divide up Jerusalem, but you acted like one of Israel’s enemies. 12 You should not have gloated when they exiled your relatives to distant lands. You should not have rejoiced when the people of Judah suffered such misfortune. You should not have spoken arrogantly in that terrible time of trouble. 

“13 ‘You should not have plundered the land of Israel when they were suffering such calamity. You should not have gloated over their destruction when they were suffering such calamity. You should not have seized their wealth when they were suffering such calamity. 14 You should not have stood at the crossroads, killing those who tried to escape. You should not have captured the survivors and handed them over in their terrible time of trouble.

Edom Destroyed, Israel Restored

“15 ‘The day is near when I, the Lord, will judge all godless nations! As you have done to Israel,     so it will be done to you. All your evil deeds will fall back on your own heads. 16 Just as you swallowed up my people on my holy mountain, so you and the surrounding nations will swallow the punishment I pour out on you. Yes, all you nations will drink and stagger and disappear from history. 17 “But Jerusalem will become a refuge for those who escape; it will be a holy place. And the people of Israel will come back to reclaim their inheritance. 18 The people of Israel will be a raging fire, and Edom a field of dry stubble. The descendants of Joseph will be a flame roaring across the field, devouring everything. There will be no survivors in Edom. I, the Lord, have spoken!

“19 ‘Then my people living in the Negev will occupy the mountains of Edom. Those living in the foothills of Judah will possess the Philistine plains and take over the fields of Ephraim and Samaria. And the people of Benjamin will occupy the land of Gilead. 20 The exiles of Israel will return to their land and occupy the Phoenician coast as far north as Zarephath. The captives from Jerusalem exiled in the north will return home and resettle the towns of the Negev. 21 Those who have been rescued will go up to Mount Zion in Jerusalem to rule over the mountains of Edom. And the Lord himself will be king!’”
