Biblical Teaching: Discerning The Voice of Father God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit

By Annamarie Strawhand | June 26, 2024

This is a transcription of a short biblical teaching by Annamarie Strawhand in answer to a viewer’s question on her live broadcast of Life In The Faith Lane on June, 26, 2024.

Watch the video and read the transcription that follows to learn how to discern the difference between the voices of Father God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

Question: How do I know who’s talking to me – if it’s Father, Jesus, or Holy Spirit.

Annamarie: Well, everything mainly comes from the spirit of the living God – the Holy Spirit. Jesus is also the person of the Holy Spirit, so it’s connected as one, right – Father, Son, Holy Spirit. However, there has been certain differences when it comes directly from the heart of Father God. When it’s the audible voice of God, when it’s the spirit of God speaking through the Holy Spirit, and when it’s Jesus, I have had some audible differences in my spirit.

Now, when it’s the Holy Spirit, it’s almost like a download in your spirit. It’s not like … you’re, you’re hearing, but you’re hearing by your spirit, by your being. Okay? Holy Spirit also flashes pictures into you, into your spirit, okay? Holy Spirit is the revelator. It’s revealed in you. It’ll just like, like, like, come to you, right, and it’ll be like a download.

The heart of the Father is where you literally feel it in your heart, and it just makes you want to cry. You feel the Father’s heart. When it’s the Father speaking to you, you, you discern it’s very fatherly. You feel the Father’s heart. You feel it actually in your heart. You’ll discern that father love. Okay?

When it’s Jesus, He always says, “The Father.” He does. He speaks just like He does speak in the Gospels when it’s Him. You will know the rhythm … the more you read the Gospels of Jesus Christ, the more you will know the rhythm of Jesus’ voice and when He’s speaking to you. Jesus usually speaks to me when I’m taking Communion because I invite Him to the table, and I ask Him to speak. And when He speaks, He’ll say things like, “The Father, the Father.” And He calls you by name a lot. Jesus will call you by name.

So Jesus calls you by name. He’ll say, “Tiffany,” and He’ll say, “Remember the Father.” He’ll, He’ll point things towards the Father, and He points you a lot to His Word and to His Gospel, and when it’s Jesus, you’ll really know it’s Him because it’ll be in the rhythm of His voice of the Gospels.

The Father’s rhythm of the Father’s word is more in the rhythm of the Old Testament, the Father’s voice, especially in the Psalm. And the Holy Spirit, He talks to you like a friend would talk to you. He talks to you like a friend would talk to you. He drops things in your spirit. He drops pictures. He really is like, “Hey, I’m going to help you. I’m going to help you. I’m going to drop this in your spirit.” I’m like, “Hey.” He’s going to be like, “Hey, why’d you do this? Why’d you do this? Hey, do this. Hey, do this.” Right? It, it’ll be like these downloads, revelations. He’s like a friend.

So Holy Spirit’s more like a friend dropping things in your spirit, right? Father is Father and His love and that poetry, right? And Jesus is more, “I’m speaking to you. I’m speaking to you the Word. I’m pointing to the Father.” Jesus … a lot of times Jesus asks questions. When I know it’s Jesus, He asks a question. You know it’s Jesus.

So, for example, when I know it’s Jesus, He points to the Father; He asks questions, and He points to the Gospels a lot of times. He will also many, many times point to remembering certain things about Him, and He’ll point us to asking questions.

So, for example, I hear from the Holy Spirit all day long. It’s just kind of a revelation – things dropping in my spirit, this helpful friend showing me pictures, revealing things to me, right? And then I’m relaxed, and I go to bed, and I lay down, and if I ask a question … I remember doing this – Jesus loves to answer questions – and I said, “Lord, I just don’t know what to do with this horse, Pongo.”

At the time, I was really frustrated about our horse, Pongo. And we had been going through a lot of trainers. And I said, “Lord, I just, I just don’t know what to do about this horse, Pongo. I know You gave him to us. I don’t know what to do about his trainers. I don’t know what to do about his training. I just don’t know what to do.”

And I heard Jesus, eh, and it was different because the way He said it to me, and it was right into my whole being, into my spirit, and He said, “Annamarie.” He called me by name. That’s why I know it’s Jesus. And He said, “Annamarie, ask Father what He wants to do with this little horse. Have you asked Father?” He said, “Father,” and I knew it was Jesus because He was saying Father. He was pointing to the Father.

So it’s these heart changes, these … Father God will have a character of Father. King Jesus will have the character of teacher and pointing to the Father and calling you by name. Holy Spirit will have the character of helper, revelator, director. So knowing their character is knowing how they speak in the Word of God and their rhythm. Have I heard the audible voice of the Lord, of God Himself directing me like a father would direct me? I have.

So I just taught on the Book of Hebrews Monday. You should go back and listen to it, about that fatherly correction that you will get, and that fatherly love and knowing the character of the Father and knowing the cha, character of King Jesus, the teacher, that points to the Father and calls you by name, and the character of the Holy Spirit as help, as helper, friend, director, revelator, downloader. Does that help you, darling?

And call them by name. Say, “Father, I’m asking You to show me a sign of Your heart, a sign of Your faithfulness.” Speak to them individually. Amen? Does that help you, darling?

And, you know, I did that day. I did what Jesus told me to do. I said, “Okay, Lord Jesus Christ, I’m going to do what you tell me. I’m going to go and ask the Father.” And so I said, “Father God, Jesus says I should ask You.” Just be as innocent, right? “What do you want to do with this little horse? Who do you have to train him?”

And you know what He said after I prayed that prayer? He sent me a dog walker. He sent me this woman who has a business walking dogs. It’s called Stable Hands Pet Services. And He sent … all of a sudden, her ad popped up in my email, and the Lord said … the Holy Spirit revealed, said, “That one.”

So I reached out to her, and I went on her site, and immediately went on her site, and it says, “We are now working with horses again.” I was like, “What?” She comes out and she works with him, and she lunge lines him. She grooms him, and she even has another girl that’s on her staff, named Whisper, that works with her, and our horse, Pongo, is doing so good with these two ladies.

I mean, he adores Whisper. I mean, Whisper comes to work with him, and he’s like, (soulful eyes) “Whisper’s here.” He gets all googly eyed over her. And she, eh, she’s like a horse whisperer. I mean, she’s a, uh, and she works for the dog walking company, but she happens to have a background in horses. I mean, only God could have brought that together. Only the Father would’ve known that because He is El Roi. He is the God who sees and sees it all, and Jesus wants us to go to the Father and ask these childlike questions, and He’s going to point to the Father. The Holy Spirit’s going to drop things [Sound effects] whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. Reveal, reveal, reveal. He’s the revelator.

Prayer for the Manna and The Rewards Of Faithfulness

By Annamarie Strawhand | May 8, 2024

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 concerned 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 – supernatural provision 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 and abundance.

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 provision, 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

By Annamarie Strawhand | March 15, 2024

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.”

Part 2: Prophetic Rapture Revelation and Teaching

By Annamarie Strawhand | January 30, 2024

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!’”

Is There A Difference Between Being Saved And Born Again?

By Annamarie Strawhand | November 15, 2023

This is a transcription of an excerpt of the Life in the Faith Lane broadcast on November 15, 2023, where Annamarie Strawhand answered questions from viewers. A viewer asked the following question: “Coach Annamarie, when it comes to being on social media and someone is down and depressed, and we are trying to encourage her but she keeps saying, ‘Yes, but I understand, but…,’ what do I say to her?”

Watch the video and read the transcript below for her response.

ANNAMARIE: You stop, and you go into your prayer closet, and you ask the Holy Spirit to go to her. You see, you can sit there and tell somebody and tell somebody and tell somebody and tell somebody till you’re blue in the face, right? You keep speaking it. You keep speaking it, right, but if they’re not receiving it, then you go into your prayer closet and you ask the Holy Spirit to go to them and reveal it to them, lift the veils, drop the scales, and the Holy Spirit revealed to them. You pray for them to have an encounter with Christ.

Now, you can keep encouraging them in the process, right? You can keep loving them and encouraging them in the process, right, asking the Lord to take those little seeds that you’ve sown into them, ask the Holy Spirit to water them, right? But just, right now, all right, don’t frustrate yourself because you’re not their Savior, Jesus is. You’re there to sew the little seeds, right, okay, and intercede for them.

So, sew the seeds of encouragement. Sew a little seed, ask the Holy Spirit what to say to them. Sew that little seed, ask him to water it. Then, go in your prayer closet and stand in the gap for them. Intercede for them. Invite the Holy Spirit to go to them and speak to them because the Holy Spirit could do more with them in one day that would take you a year. He’s got to be the one to re make them realize it. He’s got to be the one to take the scales off their eyes and lift the veils, so just keep sewing those little seeds of kindness and love and encouragement, all right?

Ask the Holy Spirit to water those seeds. You’re doing your part, okay? Continue to speak and prophesy over them and pray for them and intercede for them, okay, and then ask the Holy Spirit to go to them.

What does the Holy Spirit do? His job is to point them to Jesus and give them an encounter with Jesus to, so they realize their true identity in Christ, okay? We have a lot of Christians a lot of people that say they’re Christians and received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. They are saved, right? They’re saved. They’ve got salvation. They’re going to heaven. They’re saved from hell, but they were never truly born again. They never received of what? The spirit of the Living God. They never received of what? That born again, uh, spirit into their spirit, okay?

So, a lot of people say to me is it, what’s the difference between being born again and salvation? There’s actually is a difference. Jesus was very clear. Jesus was very clear that being born again is, is different than salvation. Um, let me pull this up real quick.

So, there are people that are Christians, but they’re, they’re miserable. Why? Because they can’t see the kingdom. They can’t see their purpose for the kingdom. That means they’re not really born again. The difference between saved and born again – you can accept Jesus and go to church as a child, but that does not mean you have to, you have been born again. You are saved from hell, and you will go to heaven, but if you are not showing signs in your life that you are born again in Christ, in your spirit, your spirit must be born again. When your spirit is born again, your, your life shows direct signs of this. You have a hope of living for Christ and fulfilling all things through Christ.

So if a person is a Christian, they say they’re a Christian but they’re miserable, they’re dealing with depression, and they can’t see it. They can’t, they can’t see the hope of their glory. They can’t see the kingdom. They can’t, right, they, that means their Spirit man is not operating in the born again of the kingdom. You must ask to be born again in Christ. It’s a simple prayer. It’s a confirmation of asking to be born again of the spirit in Christ Jesus.

You must desire to be new and transformed, so what you, how you pray for this girl is you say, “Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, go to her and encounter her, and put the desire in her heart to be transformed.”

You see, if the desire in their heart to be transformed, and the desire in their heart to be a new creation in Christ isn’t there, they’re not really born again. They’ve received Jesus Christ. They’re saved. They’re going to heaven, but their spirit is lacking, right, and they must desire to be transformed, okay?

So, Jesus explains this in John 3:21, 3:1- 21. Three is the complete Father, Son, Holy Spirit. One is the one true God. Twenty-one is the Manifest presence of God, the Living God that lives within us. Jesus says in John 3:1-21 you must be born again.

“Now, there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, ‘Rabbi we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.’”

So he believed in Jesus Christ as a man of God. He was a Believer.

“Jesus answered him, ‘Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

What?! What?! Listen to me, unless Nicodemus believed in Jesus, he was a believer, got a lot of believers out there, right? They believe – believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be what? Saved. You’re saved from hell. You’re going to heaven, but are you born again? Did you receive the power of the Living God, Jesus Christ, into your spirit man to make you completely new, to desire that transformation?

So, unless that person is truly born again, they cannot see the Kingdom, right? Their spirit is not transformed. It’s not there yet, or it, it never was, so they have no hope. They can’t see the kingdom. They can’t see the kingdom of God. They can’t see the hope of the glory of the kingdom of God in the earth. They believe Jesus is the Son of God. They believe in him. They’re, they’re saved. They’re not going to hell.

You see, the kingdom of God is for us in the earth, unless where our spirit man is born again and there is actual evidence and signs of our spirit desiring the things of the Kingdom, we’re not really totally born again.

So, somebody that you’re, she’s a Christian, you’re encouraging her, you’re encouraging, you’re encouraging her.She’s not seeing it. She’s still depressed. She’s, she like, she still has no hope. She cannot see the hope of the glory. She cannot see the kingdom. She believes in Jesus. She knows, but her spirit man is not connecting because she’s not truly born again. Pray for her to have that desire to be transformed, okay?

“Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

She can’t see it, just can’t see it because her spirit man is not capable. It’s not born again.

“How can a man be born when he is old?” This is what Nicodemus is saying. “How could he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born? Jesus answered again, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and what is born of the spirit is spirit.”

So, people that are not, they could get baptized – born of the water. See, people, the church misses this. They miss it.They go, “Oh, you’re saved.” See, churches are all about salvation, salvation, salvation, salvation, don’t go to hell; don’t go to hell; salvation.”

But they’re, they’re, they’re forgetting about the born again. They’re forgetting about the kingdom part where people actually have evidence of complete transformation in their lives, and they want to be transformed, and they want the kingdom, and they desire the kingdom, and they operate in the Kingdom. Or they’re like, “Oh, I got baptized, so I’m born again.”

That’s, that’s just half of it, right? The big part is that your spirit receives of it, and if your spirit is closed off, it doesn’t receive it, and there’s no desire there for the kingdom, there’s no desire to be transformed, there’s no desire – you can’t what? See the Kingdom.

So, you’re not really born again, and you need to lead that person again through repentance, right, and that they say with their mouth, “Lord Jesus, I desire my spirit to be born again and be transformed so I can see the kingdom.”

Listen to me, “That is of the flesh, is the flesh, which is born of the spirit, is the spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, you must be born again. The wind blows where it wishes, and what you hear is sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone that is born of the spirit.”

In other words, they’re people that really hear from the Holy Spirit. They’re born again. They’re born of the spirit.They’re receiving. They’re desiring. They’re desiring to be transformed. They’re desiring to be of the Kingdom, okay? There’s evidence of that in their life, but if they can’t see the kingdom, it means their spirit man has not been fully reborn.

Jesus is very clear here. They’re still operating from the flesh, not the spirit, okay? They’re saved. They’re going to heaven. They’ve been saved from hell. And see, this is why the kingdom age is coming. We’re coming out of this church age where churches and the religious establishments has all been about about salvation, salvation, salvation – make sure you don’t go hell – but they’re not teaching anybody the kingdom. They’re not teaching anybody to be of the kingdom, to do all the things that Jesus did, to do, desire to be that, to be transformed into full kingdom with Jesus Christ. This is all shifting. This is all changing, okay? You understand?

So huge difference, and if this person, as a Christian, she knows it, but she can’t see it she’s not truly born again. And you can pray this prayer over her. I’m getting ready to put this up on my website. Saved and born again are two different completely [Sic] things. Jesus is clear, right, call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.

Well, you’re saved from the fires of hell, right? You’re, you’re, you will go to heaven, but to be born again, you, to be able to see the kingdom in the earth operate in the kingdom, be completely and fully transformed in Christ here on the earth, Jesus has got to overtake your spirit. And you’ve got to want that, and you’ve got to want to be, right, you’ve got to completely submit your spirit to Christ and not operate out of the flesh.

And those people that are not fully, truly born again, they can’t see kingdom, they can’t see any hope. They can’t see … You see, it’s completely different, and the church has got to start teaching people kingdom and getting people to desire the kingdom. It’s more than just dunking in the water, right? It doesn’t automatically hit you. You’ve gotta desire it. You’ve gotta want it. You’ve gotta receive of it. See? All right?

And, um, you know, you see Christians walking around; they’re Christians; they’re believers; they’re saved; they’re going to heaven, but they have no hope. They’re walking around like, “Oh, just so terrible,” and you’re like, “But we have Jesus, but we have the kingdom but, we have God, but we have the Holy Spirit.” They’re like, “I know, I know.” But they can’t see it, and the fruit of their life doesn’t show anything of that.

It’s because they’re not taught this. It’s all about this religious stuff of the church. They’re all about, “Oh, we had a thousand salvations.” We had, then there, then, now what? “We had a thousand salvations. We had a thousand baptisms,” but is anybody helping them be fully born again and they’re transformed in the spirit and desire, and teaching them kingdom and how to walk in the spirit, how to operate in the spirit? No, what do they do? They, they go to dusty churches after that, that just sits there and teaches rapture doctrine every weekend, doesn’t teach them how to operate in the kingdom. Doesn’t teach them how to walk around and do the things of Christ. That’s the difference.

So, if you’re trying to lead somebody out of depression that’s a Christian, that says they know, lead them into this born again prayer, or pray for them, right, for the Holy Spirit to go to them and start to work on their spirit and King Jesus to work on their spirit to bring that desire in them to want to see the kingdom because you can’t see it unless you’re born again. You just can’t. Jesus said it. You’re still operating out of the flesh, and you’re going to still be walking around depressed and miserable.

Okay, so, um, “In this, the born again, because they’re born of God, the children of God are manifest and the ch, and the children of the devil; whoever shall do the righteousness is not, not righteousness is not of God, neither that he loveth his brother.”

So, what happens in this is those who truly carry Christ in his righteousness and the kingdom of God is within them, they see it; they realize it; they know the hope and glory. Why do you think the Pharisees could not see it, other than Nicodemus? Nicodemus desired it. The Pharisees didn’t.

You see, the religious spirit doesn’t desire the born again. Oh well, you’re saved; you’re going to heaven. That’s great, well, but you’re still walking around miserable depressed because nobody’s teaching kingdom.

Now, here’s a prayer; I’m going to put this on my website because the Lord just revealed this to me last, over the last couple of days. Here you go. A lot of people think being saved and being born again are the same thing.

Saved means you’re not going to hell. You’re redeemed. You, right, call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. You’re, you’re safe from the fires of hell.

Being born again is being able to see the kingdom while you’re alive on earth and operating in the kingdom and desiring it and the kingdom of God working within you in your spirit, okay?

Do you know, don’t you know a lot of people that are believers in Jesus Christ, they’re saved, even been baptized in water, but they’re walking around miserable with no hope? Because they can’t see the kingdom. They’re not really born again all the way. They have to have that desire.

And, right now, Jesus, I believe right now in the Holy Spirit because we’re coming into a transformative time in the, in the world, okay, is shaking people awake and up out of this religious blindness and awakening the spirits of the people to desire this fully because we’re coming into a time very swiftly where we are going to be walking around doing all the things of Jesus Christ – full kingdom, fully born again. Jesus was the first of the born again, understand?

Um, the Church is focused more on getting saved and thinking it was the same thing as born again. Born again is really when you see and realize the kingdom of God within you.

Many Christians are not operating as born again, which is full kingdom. And, oh, her eyes can only be opened if you ask the Holy Spirit and King Jesus to go to her, encounter her, um, and awaken her spirit to desire this fully.

You can lead her through this prayer or you can, you can speak this prayer over her. Um, your spirit must be born again. When your spirit is born again, your life shows direct signs of this, of hope in living it for Christ and fulfilling all things through Christ.

You must ask to be born again in Christ. This is more than just the salvation. It’s a simple prayer. It’s a confirmation to be born again of the spirit in Christ Jesus. You must desire to be new and transformed. If you are still living from the flesh and you have no hope and purpose for the kingdom, you are still operating from the flesh and not the spirit because you can’t see the kingdom, according to John 3.

This is what you declare, “Lord Jesus Christ, I desire to to be born again in my spirit. I command my spirit to receive Jesus Christ and be completely new and transformed in Christ. I want all of you, Lord Jesus, to come inside my heart, mind, and spirit and be a new creation in Christ. Thank you, Jesus.” According to John 3:1-21

Now, the religious spirit isn’t going to like this. Too bad. Can you pray this over yourself? Can you pray this over other people? Absolutely. The Lord just gave me this revelation. And, uh, I’ll put this teaching up on my site this afternoon, and I will have, uh, my team send it out to you with this decree. Um, I have more notes to … I didn’t put it up the other, I didn’t put it up yesterday because I still have more notes, and, uh, with this, and, um, I encourage you all to really soak this in. Think about it. Jesus said you’ll know it by its fruit.

Why are the Christians that have salvation, they’re not going to hell, baptized in water, but they’re walking around miserable. And you sit there and tell them, “Be happy. It’s great.” Right? “Come on, let’s go on mission work together [Sound effects meaning, etc].” “[Moaning]” Why? Because they’re not truly born again. They’re operating from the flesh. They’re not operating from the spirit. They’re not really transformed of the spirit. They can’t see the kingdom. They can’t see it. They can’t see it. They can’t see it.

How do we get them to see? We ask the Holy Spirit to bring that desire in them, right, put a desire in them. Because they were taught the wrong doctrine. They’re like, “Oh, okay, I’m saved. I’m good. I’m good. I’m saved. I’m good. I’m not going to hell.”

What about the rest of it? Are you out doing the work of the kingdom? Are you really a transformed creation? Are you, if you’re not, then you’re not really born again. You’re saved. We want kingdom here! Jesus wants full kingdom. How about you?

Uh, Acts 6:29-31 “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household.”

So you can, you’ll have salvation. You’re not going to hell, and your household is saved when you’re a believer, but to be born again, to see the kingdom, to do the things of the kingdom, to come out of depression, you must be born again a – transformation into the image of Christ in your life and don’t want to desire it.

The Holy Spirit, when you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit begins to start a work in you, right, but you have to desire it. You have to want it, and when you’ve got people praying for you and saying, “Holy Spirit, bring them. Shake them. Bring them into the desire of being fully born again and coming out of the ways of the flesh.”

You see, that’s why it says that it’s a sharp sword that separates the soul from the spirit, because that person that’s still walking around in misery, “blah blah blah,” they’re Christian. They believe. They’re gonna get, they’re not going to hell, but they’re still operating from their flesh, from their soul, from their wounds, from their [Sound effect], right? They’re, they’re not operating from the spirit, and the Holy Spirit’s saying, “Come on, let’s get born again. You must desire this. I want you to see the Kingdom.”

So many people can’t see it, and it, it frustrates me, and I know It frustrated Jesus because He was like, “I’m right in front of you. Do you not see it?” The kingdom of God is within you, but the Pharisees, right, they couldn’t see. They couldn’t see, but Nicodemus desired it, so Jesus gave him this secret. He gave him. You desire, you have a desire, Nicodemus. You have a desire. You want it, right? You gotta desire to want to be like Jesus. You gotta desire to, to see the kingdom, want to operate in the kingdom.

It’s beautiful. That’s why people are just tired of the old dusty churches. They’re, they’re done with all that. People desire kingdom. We’re in that time. The earth is what? Birthing. The earth is shaking and birthing the sons of God, right, the ones who really desire that born-again-nature of the kingdom coming into this time, not walking around from sitting in our dusty pews waiting to be beamed out of here.

No, the Lord is, is, is awakening us to our born-again-nature to be doing the, the things of Christ and desiring it, and the earth is birthing us. Hallelujah! So, yes, there’s a difference.

“Coach,” she’s still walking around depressed, and she does want to be kingdom, and she have [Sic] asked so many times. Well, this prayer’s for you, and there could be things in your soul that are blocking it, right, wounds in your soul.

Why does Jesus clearly say you prosper in health as your soul prospereth? The, the, the scripture says that because if your soul is riddled with wounds still and offense and stuff like that, um, what happens is it’ll, it’ll block your spirit man even though you have that deep desire. That, those soul wounds can, can throw up blocks all the time. That’s why I tell you get your soul healed.

Can, you know, demonic, uh, spirits block this? Yeah, I mean, of course. You know, can Christians have demons? Sure, you know, but after you prayed for that person and they’ve gotten delivered and you rebuke the spirit of death, you rebuke the spirit of backwardness off them, you rebuke all those spirits, right, and they renounce all of them, they still have to have the desire to see the kingdom. There’s a lot of people that have been delivered by [Sic] evil spirits.

Listen to me. There’s a lot of people people that have been delivered by [Sic] evil spirits, but they still don’t see the kingdom, they’re still not fully operating in their kingdom purpose for Jesus. Delivering them of evil spirits, uh, delivering them from a spirit of death, delivering them of a spirit of backwardness, delivering them from all those things are, are important. Yes, okay? Helping them get their soul healed is important, but they also have to have a desire to want to be transformed to see the kingdom.

How many people do you know, “I’ve been delivered of this. I’ve been delivered of that. I’ve been delivered.” They’re going to deliverance ministries every week. They’re going to every conference on the East Coast to the West Coast to the North Coast to the South Coast for deliverance, deliverance, deliverance, deliverance.

They’ve been, they, they’re a Christian that’s been delivered of everything you can imagine, but are they operating in the kingdom? Are they fulfilling their ministry? Are they out sharing the hope and the glory? Can they see the kingdom, right? You could be delivered of every single demon, you could be delivered of everything. You get your soul healed, but you still have to what? Desire that full born again and, whooooo, want the kingdom, upgrade in the kingdom, preach the Kingdom, operating in your kingdom purpose with boldness, fully alive in Christ.

So if you’re asking for this and you’re still not seeing it, it’s because there’s stuff in your soul blocking it, and you really got to want it. You got, there could be fear. A lot of people have fear, a spirit of fear. The spirit of fear blocks us.

The spirit of – listen, the two worst ones to block us from seeing full kingdom and operating in our full kingdom authority and going out and doing the works of Jesus Christ and being fully born again of the kingdom, the two things that block us the worst are fear and religion, fear of man. Because religion puts in the fear of man like, “Oh, if I start going out there being bold for Jesus and doing the things of Jesus full kingdom, people might think stuff of me, people might say stuff of me.”

So get that fear of man, rebuke the fear of man, renounce the fear of man, renounce all fear, and say, “I want full kingdom, and I will be fearless. I don’t care what man says.” Because the religious spirit says, “Oh, you better, oh, keep it down. Oh, you know, don’t be laying hands on people and healing them. Oh no.”

I don’t care, right, because I’ve been delivered of the fear of man. I don’t care what people say. I’m suited up every day. But you gotta desire to be more like Jesus even in public way more than what people would say. “Oh, I can’t do this unless my husband supports me. I can’t do this unless …” Right?

Who cares? You do what Jesus called you to do, right? You’re, you’re not of the fear of man whatsoever, and when you are full kingdom, you are an example to others and you start encouraging others to go that way.

So, fear will hold you back the worst. Religious beliefs will hold you back the worst. “Oh, women can’t preach. Women can’t … Oh, what?” That’s a religious lie. Why did Paul say that? It was those women specifically in that church because they were still doing idolatry, and he didn’t want their idolatry influencing the rest of the church.

Jesus wants women to preach. Women are going to be used greatly in the end days, so break off of those old religious beliefs. Break off all that fear. Rebuke it, and don’t be going to a hundred million deliverances, you know, like chasing down every deliverance conference, and look for the kingdom. Focus on kingdom. Who’s teaching kingdom? Who’s teaching how to lay hands on people and heal? Who’s teaching how to, people how to do the works of Jesus Christ?

You be the one doing deliverances. That’s when, “Oh, I desire that,” right? “I want to be in the image of Christ. I want to be of the Kingdom. I want to be the walking kingdom.” And then you’re fully born again.

You know, there’s gonna be people that say stuff to me. I don’t care anymore. I really don’t. I’m suited up. I’ve got the Lord. People gotta know this stuff.
