Biblical Insight: Do You Want The Breaker Anointing?

Biblical Insight: Do You Want The Breaker Anointing?

This teaching is an excerpt from the Life in the Faith Lane broadcast with Annamarie Strawhand on February 27, 2023.

Watch the video below. Then read the notes and scriptures and pray the activation prayers out loud.

 

Breaker Anointings come to Bold Leaders with Bold Commanding Voices

The breaker anointing is in the mouth. It’s different than the trailblazer anointing. We are the breaker — in our mouths and words. Jesus goes ahead, and a brother or sister in Christ comes beside us. This creates a threefold cord that cannot be broken!

Break down the gates! We have a breaker, and we will not be broken! The gates of the enemy break, and we expand greater territory and pastures for the kingdom and the sheep of the Lord. Jesus goes before us, but we must see it, speak it, and obey to move into that territory and take it for Jesus!

Are you willing to protect the flock Jesus assigns to you?

Peter was told by Jesus to “feed My sheep.”  Peter was clearly the leader to lead the people of God and break through with his bold voice. Other apostles came beside Peter, and the Church, in the Book of Acts, was growing and expanding. 

Disciples are under a teacher being taught, and apostles are ready to be sent out two-by-two to carry the Gospel and grow their flocks for Jesus. This also requires boldness to want to protect the sheep — followers that are under your leadership. Apostles carry a lion-like passion that is very bold and at times highly confrontational. Many times that lion likeness can be mistaken as being too hard, too controlling, or even condemning, but what you have to understand is that the lion-like passion is not targeting the sheep. It’s targeting the enemy that is trying to endanger the sheep.

Breaker Anointings can agitate the people around you or activate the people around you when you speak by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Breaker Anointings can shift an atmosphere! They shake, root up, and shatter demonic strongholds!

Answer The Following Questions

  1. Do you have a breaker in your mouth?
  2. Are you meant to speak boldly for the Kingdom of God, even in great adversity, to lead others through into greater territory for God? 
  3. Or are you one to come beside a bold person who has the breaker in their mouth and be that threefold cord with Jesus?

Breaker Scripture References

Jesus the Breaker That Goes Ahead Of Us To Break Through – Micah 2:13
“The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.”

Speak Boldly Like Peter – Peter’s Confession of Christ – Breaker In Peter’s Mouth! – Matthew 16:14-16, 18
14 “They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ 15 ‘What about you?’ Jesus asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’ 16 Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.”

Then The Helpers In Christ Come Beside You To Make An Unbreakable Force! – Ecclesiastes 4:12
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

Note: The First Breaker Was ALWAYS Jesus – He was with Joshua leading them into the promised Land!  

The Commander of the Lord’s Army Goes Ahead Of Us! – Joshua 5:13–6:5
13 “When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, ‘Are you for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, ‘No; but I am the commander of the army of the Lord. Now I have come.’ And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, ‘What does my lord say to his servant?’ 15 And the commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, ‘Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.’ And Joshua did so.”

King Jesus Goes Ahead Of The Chosen Ones Of God!  Cyrus, the Lord’s Chosen One – Isaiah 45:1-7
“This is what the Lord says to Cyrus, his anointed one, whose right hand he will empower. Before him, mighty kings will be paralyzed with fear. Their fortress gates will be opened, never to shut again. 2 This is what the Lord says: ‘I will go before you, Cyrus, and level the mountains. I will smash down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. 3 And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness — secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name. 4 And why have I called you for this work? Why did I call you by name when you did not know me? It is for the sake of Jacob my servant, Israel my chosen one. 5 I am the Lord; there is no other God. I have equipped you for battle, though you don’t even know me, 6 so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God.I am the Lord, and there is no other. 7 I create the light and make the darkness. I send good times and bad times. I, the Lord, am the one who does these things.”

Prayers For The Breaker Anointing – Pray Out Loud

Prayer To Receive The Breaker In Your Voice
Heavenly Father, Almighty God, I desire to be able to speak boldly and lead boldly for Your Kingdom on the earth. I am passionate about being an apostle for Jesus Christ and going forward and expanding territory for the Gospel to flourish and for Your people to flourish. I know that You have words for me to speak that will break down strongholds and open gates into bigger pastures for those I am called to lead and even for those things in my life that You, Father God, have called me to do. I am excited to use this breaker in my voice for Your Glory.  

I declare Your word in Psalm 81:10, “I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.”

I open my mouth and lift it up to You, Father God, and invite the Holy Spirit to come and take over my mouth and fill it with Your boldness, Your breaker, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name! I am asking for wisdom and understanding of when to use this breaker and how to use this breaker in my mouth by the leading of the Holy Spirit. I am excited to speak boldly as I ought to speak! I want to see Your Kingdom accelerated and advanced in the earth as it is in Heaven and the Church, the ecclesia of Jesus Christ, to prevail and grow in such a way that the world has never seen before, all for Your Glory. 

I believe by faith that I have received the breaker in my voice, and I will be a good steward of this. I know that this will either agitate or awaken and activate others around me, and I will stand strong and not waiver as Your Holy Spirit speaks through me. This is the time! I am ready, and I receive the breaker anointing in my mouth, in Jesus’ name, amen! Thank You, heavenly Father God!

Prayer To Commit To Protect The Flock and Territory Jesus Assigns To You
Heavenly Father, Almighty God, today, I come before You in humble faith to express my commitment to be of the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. This can be in leadership or coming beside your leaders to support their divine calling. I am reminded that the Lord Jesus told Peter to “feed My sheep.” I understand that means giving Your people, Your followers, Lord Jesus, guidance, encouragement, protection, and support. They must be fed with Your word, Lord, and most of all, stay focused on You daily, Lord Jesus. 

I am asking for the partnership of the Holy Spirit to assist me. I am also asking today, in Jesus’ name, for angel armies to be assigned to me for protection over me, my family and household, my ministry, and the territory You have assigned to me. I ask for sharp discernment to clearly and swiftly be able to know who are the wolves that I must remove and who are the sheep that I must keep and protect. I ask that I have this discernment to not chase after wolves after I have asked them to leave and to only go after true sheep that wander, backslide, or lose their way; that I will discern who to go after and who to release back to You, Lord, to deal with.  

I know that You are with me, King Jesus, and I am not afraid. I am honored to keep watch over Your flock and be a watchman over the territory that You have assigned me to and to also support the leadership that You have assigned to that flock and territory. I ask that You show me how I must pray at certain times and when to move forward to grow the flock and expand the territory.  

I am asking for grace and wisdom, and most of all, I seek Your Heart, Father God, for Your desires with Your people as I do my best to love them as You do. Thank You, King Jesus, for making this possible, and I know that I can call out for help when I need it. I will not waiver in my commitment to Your ministry.  

I thank You, Lord, for those that You have called me to. I pray it is pleasing in Your sight! I am confident that, as You were always with the shepherds, especially King David, You will be with me to train me up to be a good shepherd because You, Lord Jesus, are my Shepherd.  

I want to lead as You would lead, love as You would love, protect as You would protect, discern as You would discern, and grow the flock for our Father’s house, where we shall dwell forever, in Jesus’ name, amen!

Prophetic Insight – Why Did They Take Enoch Out Of The King James Bible?

Prophetic Insight – Why Did They Take Enoch Out Of The King James Bible?

By |

This is a transcription of an excerpt of the broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane on February 20, 2023, where Annamarie Strawhand addressed the following question from a viewer:

Question: “Have the cabal reset civilization many times in history? Saw many pictures and videos of the late 1800s and early 1900s showing advanced technology, giant people, giant bones, and then mud floods. What are your thoughts?”

Watch the video below, and then read the transcript and notes that follow.

 

Annamarie: “Annamarie, have the cabal reset civilization many times in history? Saw many pictures and videos of late 1800s, early 1900s showing advanced technology, giant people, giant bones, and mud floods. What are your thoughts?” 

It’s bull crap! What does the Bible say? What does the Bible say? Come on. Be careful what you’re watching. They can’t reset crap. They can try to delay the kingdom. They can try to delay things by bringing deception, by trying to bring diseases, by trying to bring sin, by trying to bring a fake, fear narrative, but what does Jesus say? What does the Bible say?

Now all those giants and all that stuff was wiped out in the flood of Noah — done, over! Do you believe the Bible, Jo, or do you believe the propaganda that they put on the Discovery Channel — Ancient Aliens?! Ancient Aliens, that’s propaganda! Don’t get your information from those places. They can, they can photoshop stuff. They can photoshop video. They can do all kinds of things. 

You know what your eyes need to look on? The moves of the Holy Spirit through the generations, um-hm, because the greatest move of the Holy Spirit of all the generations is happening right now. And this cabal or whatever and their stupid reset is helpless against it. They can’t stop it. They can try to delay it with a false narrative, with propaganda. 

What did I tell you about unbelief?! The enemy uses that against us, and he, he, he, he throws in, he peppers in little lies and fake photos and fake pictures and puts shows on Discovery — ancient, ancient. It’s propaganda! Open up your Bible and read. 

Why did they take the Book of Enoch out of the Bible? People think, they say, “Oh, it’s about the giants and the fallen angels.” Why didn’t the Church want us to know about the giants and the fallen angels?” Is it because they still have power? NO! It’s because Enoch had such a close relationship with God. 

Enoch walked with God so closely that God showed him everything. Enoch and God were such best friends, Enoch and God had what God wanted with Adam. Enoch and God had such a close relationship that God showed him everything that He was doing and that He wanted to do, and their relationship was so close Enoch got all his answers directly from God. God brought him up in the spirit and showed him things. God loved Enoch so much and Enoch loved God so much that God didn’t want Enoch to suffer death. He brought him up to Heaven alive. That’s what good friends they were. 

The Church, the Catholic church particularly — this is not against Catholics. I’m talking about the leadership — did not want to … 

The Book of Enoch was in the original King James version. If you go and get an original King James version of the Bible, the Book of Enoch is in there teaching you how to walk with God, teaching you how to go to God and He will show you all these things in the supernatural and give you truth. 

But the, the leaders of the Catholic church didn’t want the people to know how to have a direct relationship with God. Why? What were they afraid of? If we have a direct relationship with God, and we can talk with God and walk with God and see things in the supernatural, then number one, they lose control of us. They lose religious control. And number two, we’ll be, we’ll be walking in signs, wonders, and miracles, which means we’ll be actually doing the things of Jesus. We’re going to have understanding of the heavens and the earth. The kingdom of God is coming to earth just what, like Enoch saw, and we’re going to have that relationship with God like Jesus had. 

This is what’s coming, and this is why the devil is freaking out, and he’s trying to bring deception. He’s trying to bring fake UFOs. He’s trying to make us think that the giants are going to come back and, and, and — NO, they’re gone! What are they so afraid of? Why are they trying to bri, why are they saying “the great reset?” They can’t reset crap! It’s already been ordained in the Bible! 

The kingdom of God is coming, and nothing’s going to stop it, and the people of God are finally awakening like Enoch! We’re finally able to see in the spirit again. The veils are lifting. We’re in the apocalypse. What does the apocalypse mean? It’s a Greek word that means “unveiling.” 

We’re going to walk with God like Enoch did. We’re going to walk with God like Jesus did. We’re going to have angelic encounters. We’re going to actually be able to time travel like Elisha and Elijah, like Jesus. Jesus disappeared and went from one spot to another. 

It’s over for the demonic! You see, the great awakening is here. Why? So we finally awaken to our true authority in Christ in the earth. We finally awaken to what’s going on in the heavenlies. We finally awaken to what our true authority is in Jesus Christ. 

The devil is counting on the fact that we believe these lies and propaganda. He’s counting on the fact that he can bring a lying, twisting deception and keep us deceived. So why? So we won’t walk in our true authority with Jesus Christ, so we won’t walk like Enoch walked. Jesus said, before He ascended into Heaven, He said, “Father God, My prayer for them is that they will have what You and I had.” We’re going to walk signs, wonders, and mir … Jesus said we’ll be doing greater things than Him. It’s here! The kingdom of God is coming, and it’s within us!

So when you know your authority in Christ, when you know that it’s time for you to walk in these signs, wonders, and miracles, when you know when it’s time that you are going to actually walk and talk directly with God like Enoch and you will start to have this hidden understanding that comes from God, we don’t seek man for it. We don’t watch Hidden Civilizations on the Discovery Channel, which is propaganda. We go directly to the Holy Ghost. We go directly to God. Jeremiah 33:3, “‘Call unto me, says the Lord, ‘I will show you the hidden things, the secret thing, the thing you do not know.’”

These cabal people, they have nothing. It’s over for them. All they’ve done is try to recycle deception generation after generation after generation. And they keep failing because every time they try to recycle that deception, every time they try to bring what? Their evil. What happens? More people get saved. More people come to God. More people get the Holy Ghost. More revival comes. 

But now we have the awakening happening. We’re coming into the Kingdom Age, so they can’t recycle this crap anymore because people are hearing from God greater than they ever have before. People are hungry for the presence of God. Understand? 

Deception brings control. See? Deception brings control. They can keep saying they’re going to do their reset. You know what? They only thing that’s going to get reset is them, and that’s a straight path to hell. It’s done for them. It’s toast. I just read you Revelation, uh, Chapter 2, verse 12-17. It tells you what’s going to happen to them. They can’t stop it. 

So keep your eyes on God. Keep your eyes on the word of God. Keep seeking relationship, and He will show you the hidden things, the secret things, the things you do not know. He will show you what is lies and what is true. All that stuff is fake. Don’t put any clout in it. Seek first the kingdom of God.

NOTES

Don’t be deceived by watching supernatural shows on TV. Read what the Bible says, and let God show you supernatural truths! Enoch walked with God, and thats what we all must desire. God showed his secrets to Enoch like you would a best friend. 

Regarding Giants: God wiped out the fallen angels and their offspring in the flood of Noah. Any giants after that were not offspring of fallen angels (Nephilim). Second Peter 2:5 states that all of the ungodly were wiped out in Noah’s flood. Genesis 7, in multiple verses, confirms that indeed all of humanity and all soulish creatures associated with humanity, except for those on board the ark, were killed. Thus, the Nephilim did not survive the flood catastrophe.

Goliath was not of a “race of giants.” He and his brothers were very unusually large men. However, all the people in Gath, where Goliath was from, were not giants. We have had extraordinarily large men that have been recruited for sports or armies as their “champion” through the years. We know that Joshua and King David wiped out any giant-sized men in those armies with God. 

Even in early America there was a man known as a giant called Peter Francisico who fought in the Revolutionary War. There have been “giant men” throughout history but never another “race of giants” or sons of fallen angels.

Regarding UFOs: “UFO” evidence? We have been lied to for years. It’s military craft. The only “beings” are fallen angels and demons. What is left of the deep state (and it is not much because their money and resources are running dry, and many have already been arrested and removed) is grasping at last minute desperate fake, false flags to deceive us and keep us controlled by fear, lies and propaganda. Stay suited up and discern. Our REDEEMER lives, and His name is Jesus Christ!

Regarding Enoch: Understand, the Book of Enoch must be read with understanding from a close relationship with God because that is what Enoch is teaching us. Be careful because it does touch upon the fallen angels and goes deep into the supernatural, and many New Agers have taken it and misinterpreted it. 

Only Jesus holds the keys. Its all about Jesus. Do not read the Book of Enoch without that strong understanding of the authority and personal relationship of Jesus Christ in your heart. Spiritual knowledge without relationship is very, very dangerous.

We all want to know “what is being hidden” from us. However, when you have a personal relationship with Father God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and seek the Holy Spirit, He shows you all the hidden things. That is exactly what happened to Enoch. His relationship with God was so close that God showed him everything. He did not even allow Enoch to suffer death because they were such close friends. God took Enoch up to Heaven.

Hebrews 11:5 – “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”

The reason they took the Book of Enoch out of the original King James Bible is because the Catholic church was afraid of the people having a close personal relationship with God, and they would not be able to keep their control over the people. Religous control always comes against relationship. Enoch is all about a close personal relationship with God. If you only read Enoch to learn about fallen angels and giants, you will miss the whole thing.

The Book of Enoch was originally included in the King James Bible. You can get an original King James Bible that includes the Book of Enoch and the original Apocrypha books, or get a separate book that has that original text from the King James Bible. Many people have tried to make “new books” of Enoch, but be careful that it is only the text from the bible itself.  

Regarding the Apocrypha: The apocrypha is a selection of books which were published in the original 1611 King James Bible. These apocryphal books were positioned between the Old and New Testament (it also contained maps and geneologies). The apocrypha was a part of the KJV for 274 years until being removed in 1885 A.D. A portion of these books were called deuterocanonical books by some entities, such as the Catholic church.

Many claim the apocrypha should never have been included in the first place, raising doubt about its validity and believing it was not God-inspired (for instance, a reference about magic seems inconsistent with the rest of the Bible: Tobit chapter 6, verses 5-8). Others believe it is valid and that it should never have been removed- that it was considered part of the Bible for nearly 2,000 years before it was recently removed a little more than 100 years ago. Some say it was removed because of not finding the books in the original Hebrew manuscripts. Others claim it wasn’t removed by the church, but by printers to cut costs in distributing Bibles in the United States. Both sides tend to cite the same verses that warn against adding or subtracting from the Bible: Revelation 22:18. The word ‘apocrypha’ means ‘hidden.’ Fragments of Dead Sea Scrolls dating back to before 70 A.D. contained parts of the apocrypha books in Hebrew, including Sirach and Tobit [source].

Keep this in mind when reading the following apocryphal books. Martin Luther said, “Apocrypha–that is, books which are not regarded as equal to the holy Scriptures, and yet are profitable and good to read.” (King James Version Defended page 98.) Note: See link below in resources section to read these books online.

Purpose of This Teaching: This teaching was to help you understand that the reason the Catholic church removed Enoch from the Bible was because of the close relationship that Enoch had directly with God. Religious leaders always want control over the people. They did that to Jesus who was teaching us to have a personal relationship with the Father. They feared us having that knowledge and understanding.

The focus of this ministry is always to point to Jesus Christ — King of kings — His power and authority, and the love of God for us. Our eyes should never be on the “giants” but instead on the mighty power of God and the authority and victory of Jesus Christ that is with us and works through us.

My focus on this teaching was not on “giants” or “fallen angels.” My focus on this teaching is that Enoch got to know all the secrets of God because of his very close personal relationship with God. This video was to teach you that to know the deepest secrets and the hidden things of God’s plans and purposes, its all about RELATIONSHIP. Understand that spiritual knowledge without relationship with Father is dangerous.

For those of you who think God did not wipe out all the offspring of the fallen angels in the flood of Noah, ask yourself this question: When Jesus healed someone, did He leave just part of the leprosy, or was that person completely healed? Do you trust that when God cleans house He does a complete and thorough job? Come on!

The main thing is the main thing, my friends. It’s always about a close personal relationship with Father God — to fully trust in Him, walk closely with Him, and seek His Heart.

Resources

We have to be careful because New Agers grab this and manipulate it. The safest place without a bunch of New Age additives is to read the Book of Enoch directly from an original version of the King James Bible.

Biblical Questions: What To Use For Anointing Oil and Communion Supplies – Your Personal Prayer Time with Jesus

Biblical Questions: What To Use For Anointing Oil and Communion Supplies – Your Personal Prayer Time with Jesus

By |

This is a transcription of an excerpt of the Life in the Faith Lane broadcast on January 16, 2023, where Annamarie Strawhand answered questions from viewers about anointing oil and Communion supplies. 

Watch the video, and then read the transcript below. Notes, scriptures, and resources follow the transcription.

 

ANNAMARIE: She uses unfractionated coconut oil while using essential oils like frankincense and myrrh in roller bar, roller balls to make, to make it especially [Inaudible] Jesus and the Holy Spirit. 

You know, I wouldn’t do that. I mean, if you’re going to use coconut oil, uh, you know, for health purposes, that’s one thing, but Jesus and the Holy Spirit and the Bible is very clear about olive oil — olive oil, olive oil, olive oil. There is biblical reference to olive oil. 

RockStarMiracle, listen to me. Please, listen to me, and I’m not trying to be religious or judgmental. I, it’s, I have a responsibility to teach you the word of God. I would not use unfractionated coconut oil as your anointing oil. It specifically says olive oil. Now, if you’re going to put frankincense and myrrh in your olive oil because it’s biblical and you’re using roller balls, uh, to me there’s something about touching. There’s something about pouring. The Bible says we, when we touch somebody, we’re releasing the power of the Holy Ghost. There’s an impartation that happens.

So, RockStarMiracle, I’m going to advise you as a coach and mentor — you came here for teaching; you came here for advice — to go according to the word of God. Do not use unfractionated coconut oil as your anointing oil. Let’s stay according to the word of God and use olive oil, and if you want to add frankincense and myrrh in it because it’s biblical — frankincense is pleasing to God. It represents kingship. Myrrh was used in, uh, with Esther, you know to, to cleanse her as, as a queen. Jesus was buried in, with myrrh. Um, there’s something about the touching and the releasing of the Holy Spirit, the impartation when you touch someone and anoint them. And there’s something about the pouring directly from the bottle like King David, you see? 

Um, see Jesus was touching his disciples’ feet by washing them and anointing them. See there’s, He was giving, you don’t realize, but what He was doing was, He wasn’t, it wasn’t just an act of humility, it was an impartation. It was this last supper. It was an impartation. There’s something about the touching, you know, and using roller balls might be convenient, but it’s not that, it’s not very sacred or special. You see, there’s something about a touching, about your hands, and even if you’re, re, you know, you’re not going to take your roller ball and like release the roller ball in the spirit, you know? 

What I do is if I’m releasing something in the spirit, I get it on my hands. I’m releasing it, you see, releasing. There’s something about the raising up of the, of the hands and releasing. There’s this impartation.

So, please, I’m just saying get into the word of God, okay, and, and do what God’s word says with this, and honor His word with olive oil. You know, I’ve had some people that have sent me oils with roller balls, and I’ve never, ever used them. I just, I just don’t feel any connection with them. They might as well have just sent me a bottle of perfume. 

Yes, RockStarMiracle says she helps with holistic essential oils in Jesus Christ’s name, Yeshua’s name. It’s healed her and her family with essential oils to stay away from hospitals. 

I’m not saying you can’t use oils to help with healing. God gave us everything in the earth to help with our healing, right, with herbs and things like that. But when you are going to anoint a person, speak scripture over them, pray over them, set them aside for God, use what the Bible says and do it in the way of the word of God because if we get to loose with this, we might as well be doing new age. 

We got to be really careful because you see it was like, “Well, it’s okay if I just this time. It’s okay for this time.” You know, that’s how we start to get lukewarm. It, it starts to open up a door to the enemy. You see? And we got to be really careful. I’m not saying that to be religious or ritualistic about this. I’m just saying that you want to honor God’s word. What did God say? 

You see, this is how the enemy comes in with a lying, twisting spirit like he did with Eve. “Oh, Eve, that fruit on that tree looks good. It’s good for you. It’s got a lot of nutritional value. Did God really say? Did God really say, Eve? Did God really say?” And Eve looked at the tree, and it looked good, but God said NO. God said NO! 

You see, this is what happens. People say, “Oh, well, God says use olive oil, uh, eh, for, to anoint a person and pray over them and dedicate them to God and set them aside with God. And then here comes that slithering serpent, “Did God really say use olive oil? Did He really say? Ooh, look at this fractionated coconut oil. Has a lot of healing properties. It’s good for you. It must be good.” But God didn’t say use coconut oil. 

You see how the enemy can start with one little thing? And even if you’re, you’re doing this in the name of Jesus Christ, Yeshua, that’s good, but what did God’s word say? See, Jesus is the word. Jesus is the one that said olive oil. So if He’s the word, how are you really honoring Jesus when Jesus said olive oil to begin with? Okay? And I’m not trying to be religious or judgmental or ritualistic. I’m just saying be very, very, very careful. So when you start to get lukewarm about one thing it opens the door to more. 

Should you pray over things you’re doing? You should pray over your food. You should pray over any medicine you take. You should pray over your groceries. You should pray over any perfume. You should pray over your shampoo. You should pray over, you know, you should pray over anything you put on your body. I do, but I use it as a, a, set aside thing for God? No, because He said it’s the, it’s the olive oil that’s set aside. You see, uh, uh, you’ve got to be really careful. Some things are pleasing to God and some things aren’t. 

You should watch a video right now with, uh, uh, Sergio and Rhoda in Israel. They travel all over Israel and go to these sites in Israel that, uh, are biblical sites. And they went to this site in Israel, and these were Jewish people that believed in the Lord God of Israel, and these Jewish people made a temple, and somehow they got mixed in with the Pagans where they were living — Pagan influence, right, some Pagan influence. And the Pagans said, “Oh, we burn Cannabis on our altar. You should try it.” 

Well, God didn’t say burn Cannabis on the altar. God said Frankincense because Frankincense is pleasing to the nostrils of God. God specifically said, “Only burn incense to Me that is pleasing unto My nostrils.” 

And so these people got mixed in with the Pagans, and they started burning Cannabis on their altar, and what happened? They opened up a door. God lifted their [sic] hand off of them, and the city got destroyed. You can go watch it on Sergio and Rhoda in Israel.

We must do what God says is pleasing unto Him. And we know what God has made clean is clean. He was talking about your food. You understand that, right? And any cosmetics and things like that, absolutely. Do certain things have healing properties? Yes, we know from Moses, um, that when the Children of Israel got across the Red Sea, they were thirsty, and they were looking for clean water to drink.  And they came to a pool of water, and it was dirty, and God said to Moses, “Take that tree branch, stick it in the water, and stir it up, and make the water clean.” 

They believe that was a tree branch from a Moringa tree because Moringa has very cleansing properties, right? And is it good to take Moringa, right, because it has cleansing properties? Yeah, there’s a lot of natural things that God has given us on the earth that are cleansing. We know that King David, when he was repenting, he said, “Cleanse me with hyssop. Wash me white as snow.? We know that the, the hyssop plant is very prevalent, grows very prevalent in Israel, and the Jews used it to make soap and cleansing and things like that. 

So, yes, He wants us to use herbs and things natural of the earth, but the, the, the anointing oil is set aside for God because this smell goes up into God’s nostrils. It draws Him closer to you and your child. You understand? The, the actual anointing oil made with these ingredients in Israel and has the frankincense in it, um, the, that smell is pleasing to God’s nostrils, right? It draws you near. And the olive oil is what? It’s spoken of in the Bible over and over, and it has great meaning. It’s connected to every single scripture of the Holy Ghost. So I hope that helps.

“I think it gets confusing when we’re told we can use the goldfish for Communion if that’s all we have, but it’s different for the anointing. The difference may need to be explained about Communion elements.” 

This is what I explained to you the other day. If it’s your first time here for Communion and you want to partake, and all you have is a cookie or a goldfish or water, right, if it’s all you have right now, just use that in faith. But then go out and get the actual elements.

So this is how I teach for first-timers here. Your not supposed to keep using goldfish. You’re not supposed to keep using cookies. You’re not supposed to keep using water, but if it’s your first time here on my broadcast and you want to partake of Communion, and all you have at hand at that moment is that, we will ask Jesus to honor that.

I’m not saying keep doing it. I’m saying after that, if you want to keep taking Communion, put your feet to your faith, go to the store, buy the elements. Right? Buy the grape juice. Buy the matzah. Does that explain it to you? If it’s all you have at the time, and you’re a first-timer, it’s all  you have, just use what you have at hand, and we ask Jesus to honor it at that moment because it’s what you have at hand. But afterwards, you know better, right, then go out and get what you know. Same thing with the anointing. 

See, Jesus says people with lack of knowledge perish. People perish for lack of knowledge. But once you know, right, once you know, go out and get the actual elements. Get the grape juice. Right? Get the kosher wine, or get the kosher grape juice, or get the matzo like Jesus used. 

You see, there comes a point where we have to get off the milk and on the meat. We have to grow in the Lord. Our heart has to want that. So if I have first-time people here on Friday, and they’ve never taken Communion with me before, and they don’t already have the elements there of the matzo and of the kosher wine or the, or the grape juice, the Kedeem grape juice, then I say, “Listen, I don’t want to leave anyone out from the Lord’s table. If all you have is a goldfish or if all you have is a cookie, then use it.” But then you know better because of what I taught you. You have the knowledge now. You have the understanding now to do what Jesus did. Then, go out and get it. You understand what I’m saying? You understand me?

Exodus 30:31-33 “And you shall say to the people of Israel, ‘This shall be my holy anointing oil throughout your generations. It shall not be poured on the body of an ordinary person. You shall make it like no other in composition. It is holy. It shall be holy to you. Whoever compounds like this, whoever puts it off on an outsider shall be cut off from his people.” 

So we have to be reverant, and, you know … “Is it okay to use sesame oil?” NO! OLIVE OIL! Olive oil. Listen, go to my website, annamariestrawhand.com. It teaches you everything on the anointing oil — what to use, why, the scriptures connected to it, the prayers, uh, you know, and everything. All right?

Like I said, there are people that have been here for the first time, or they’re, they’re in a, they’re in a pinch with Communion, and they don’t have the elements right there. And I don’t want to refuse them from the Lord’s table, so that’s why I said just use what you have at hand, and we’re just going to release our faith into it. But from this point forward, if you want to take Communion, go out and get the proper elements. Right?

We should keep growing in the Lord. We should keep growing in His word. We have to get off the milk and into the meat eventually. Does this teach you something? 

Jenna Scott says, “Yes, it makes perfect sense.” Thank you, Jenna. You know, I don’t want to refuse anyone from the Lord’s table. So many people come to my broadcast for the first time, and they say, “I don’t have any grape juice. I don’t have any matzo.” You know? And I say, “Okay, use what you have at hand. We don’t want to refuse anybody from the Lord’s table. We’re going to ask God for His grace and mercy. We’re going to pray over it, and we’re going to ask Jesus to release His blood on it. If all you have is a goldfish, and all you have his water, this first time, right, just release your faith. But going forward, go and get those elements now that  you know.”

See, Jesus would heal people. Listen to me. Jesus would heal people. He would heal them, and then he would say, “Now, go and sin no more or it could be worse.” What? Why would Jesus tell someone after He heals them to go and sin no more or it could be worse? Because now they have the knowledge of Christ. Now they know. You see? So once you know the true elements that must be used in Communion, that Jesus used, and once you know that the true anointing oil that God said we should use, once you have that knowledge, you should honor it. 

Do we have grace and mercy if we mess up? Absolutely. God is always calling us deeper. This is not about religion. It’s about relationship. It’s not about being perfect, but it’s about coming into what? What? The image of Christ. You see, when you receivemJesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, that’s just the beginning, and the sanctification process starts and you should keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking and all these things will be added unto you. You don’t just say, “Hey, okay, I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I’m just going to sit in church. I’m good. I’m good. I’m going to Heaven. I’m good.” No! That’s when it just begins, and they sanctification process starts. 

We have to conform more into the image of who? Jesus! And if you’re not constantly seeking to conform to the image of Jesus, you’re not growing at all. You’re just sitting stagnant, and it opens the door for you to do a yoga class at church because they’ve gotten stagnant. They’re not trying to grow anybody in the Holy Ghost. They’re not trying to grow anybody. All they care about is salv, saving souls. That’s important, but what about growing them? 

You see, the church is all about, “Oh, we got to get people saved. We got to get them saved. We got to get them saved.” Yes, salvation is important, but what about the growth afterward? So if your church is all about salvation and not the growth after salvation, you’re sitting in a stagnant church. And what happens? They start to market. What happens to churches that do marketing, to market people just to save their soul and not grow them? They start having Santa Claus show up for pictures. They start doing yoga classes.

LISTEN TO ME! If your church is only focused on saving souls, salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ, but don’t have anything in that church to grow people into the Lord, to grow people more into the image of Christ, they’re just going to be a recycling marketing joint because all they do is, ‘Well, we got to get people in here. We got to get them to salvation, and as long as we got butts in the pews, that’s all that matters. Ooh, we need to get more people in here. Let’s bring Santa Claus in to take pictures with the kids. That ought to bring in more people. And then if it brings more people in, then we can bring them to Jesus Christ, but we have no way to grow them. Oh, hey, well, let’s see if we can bring more women into the church. Hey, okay, let’s bring more women into the church. We don’t have any growth programs. We just want to get them to salvation. Let’s start a yoga class on Saturday. That ought to get the women in the church. Yeah, okay, yoga.”

And you know what happens? That church becomes lukewarm because the church is focused on marketing and not growing people into the image of Christ, not discipling them into the image of Christ to disciple more people. It just becomes a marketing machine. And is it important to bring people to the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ? Absolutely? But even more important, after people are saved, they must have a growth plan because we must get off the milk and into the meat like Paul said. 

We’ve got to pick up our cross and follow Jesus all the way into the kingdom. We’ve got to make disciples of people. They have to conform into the image of who? Christ! And if people get saved and they’ve got no growth, right, “Okay, I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, now what?” And your church doesn’t offer the now what, you’re going to stay stuck. You’re going to stay lost. You’re going to revert back to those feel-good spiritual things like yoga, Reiki, and, uh, you know, all that other stuff because they’re not offering spiritual growth in the church. 

Listen! This ministry is a now what ministry! We want to bring people to the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we are the now what. After you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you can come here and can grow in the Lord, and we will disciple you here so you can go out and disciple others — no gimmicks, just Jesus and how to grow in the Holy Ghost and how to disciple yourself in the word of God, through the word of God and become more of, of conforming yourself to the image of Christ. And we’ve got to want that. We’ve got to be hungry for that. Do you understand?

You see, all these big evangelists, they go out there and they go to Africa, and they say, “Three thousand people gave their life to Christ today.” Well, that’s good. Now, what? Are there any programs to grow these people, especially in Africa where they, they got witchcraft and voo doo and all kinds of other stuff? It’s so easy for them to backslide and revert back into that when they have no continuing education in Christ. Are you getting this?

That’s right, Karen. “Isn’t it the same as we learn in the word that as a Christian, we beome accountable for it?” That’s right. So once you know and once you know the truth and you know the word of God, right, then you must be accountable for it, but there’s so much joy that comes from it. There’s so much freedom that comes from it.

When I anoint myself in the Lord and with this oil, I can feel the Holy Ghost come on me. His presence is so strong. So many of you want that. I’m teaching you how.

Where can you find the matzo in the, Yehuda matzo? You can find it at Walmart in the international section. You can also buy it online. They have the matzo. They have the Kedem, uh, grape juice. They have it.

And I’m not saying this to be legalistic or judgmental or religious. I’m just saying you want to be more like Jesus. You want to have the desire to be more like Jesus. What kind of bread did he eat? What kind of, right? You want to be more like Him. You’ve got to want that. You’ve got to desire that. You’ve got to seek it. You want to do things more according to the word of God because the word of God is the will of God for your life. And when you’re doing things according to the word of God, you bring in His presence in your life like never before. Come on.

Jo McNeil says this fasting time spent with the Holy Spirit has been so amazing, sweet, and beautiful. She has so many songs in her heart for her wonderful Savior. She feels such a celebration right now.

You see, there are people that are scared to fast because they think they’re going to feel terrible; they’re going to feel miserable. But look at Jo McNeil here. She has unspeakable joy during this fast, unspeakable joy because we’re doing it as Jesus would do it when we start to conform more like Him and be, we want, we desire that. This unspeakable joy comes to us, and it’s beautiful and it’s glorious. 

Thank you, Jennifer, for the word. John 5:14 “Afterward, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, ‘Behold, thou are made whole. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.’” 

So that was the man at the pool of Bethesda, uh, that Jesus healed and said, “Pick up your mat and walk.” And he didn’t get to thank Jesus because Jesus, uh, walked away swiftly, and He saw the man at the temple again, and he said, “Oh, you, you, you were the one that healed me.” And Jesus, they saw each other, and Jesus said, “You’ve been made whole. Now you know. Now you know the truth of the power of God.” Right? “Now, as the Messiah, you’ve seen the Messiah. You’ve experienced Him, go and sin no more. Lead a life of honor, lest you come on worse.”

Why? Because if you know the truth and you keep sinning … Now, listen, nobody can be perfect. Nobody’s perfect because that’s why we all need Jesus, but if you mess up, just repent. Say, “Lord, I messed up. I was being really sloppy about this, and I want to be better. I want to be more like You, Jesus. I want to have a deeper relationship with You. I thank You for this understanding. I want to be, um, I want this Communion time to be more precious. I want it to be more like You. I want this anointing time to be more precious. I want it to be more like You.” So just repent and ask for grace, mercy, and forgiveness. Ask Jesus to put His blood on it, and it’s forgotten. It’s erased, and then just start over. And all of Heaven is rejoicing because you’re growing. 

Notes, Scriptures, and Resources

Holy Oils For Anointing: “You want to smell like the Lord Jesus did when He came out of the tomb — anointed in Frankincense and Myrrh!!! The demons still remember that smell and flee!!!! Frankincense is pleasing to the nostrils of God, and myrrh was used by Esther to prepare her to meet the king.

Exodus 30:34-38

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take for yourself spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, spices with pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each. With it you shall make incense, a perfume, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. You shall beat some of it very fine, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you.

The incense which you shall make, you shall not make in the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the Lord. Whoever shall make any like it, to use as perfume, shall be cut off from his people.

HOLY OILS MUST BE SET ASIDE FOR PRAYER AND DEDICATION ONLY. NEVER USE AS “PERFUME” OR “ESSENTIAL” OILS.  THESE ARE FOR PRAYER AND DEDICATION – HOLY UNTO GOD – A SPECIAL OIL JUST FOR HIM!

Olive Oil For Anointing: Understand that it has to be oil and olive oil, because you’re setting yourself a side as an offering onto God. 

1 Samuel 16:1 NLT – Now the LORD said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.”

Part 1: Biblical Understanding of the True Rapture – You and Your Household Shall Be Saved

During the Q&A portion of the broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane on January 4, 2023, a viewer asked Coach Annamarie Strawhand about the meaning of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. The answer resulted in a spontaneous mini teaching about the rapture.   

(YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD SHALL BE SAVED – SEE THE PRAYER AT THE END OF THIS POST)

This is the transcription of that teaching, which is an excerpt of the broadcast using the timestamps: 57:34 – 1:21:48.

Watch the video, and then read the transcript below, which is then followed by some notes and after thoughts.

 

ANNAMARIE: (Timestamp: 57:34) First question I see is from Jax. Hey, Jax, how’re you doing, darling? Ooh, we love the hard questions. I’m not scared of a hard question: “1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, can you explain this for me?” 

Okay, let’s read the King James version. Uh, let’s, let me pull up 1 Thessalonians 4:14-16. Well, the number four means door. Fourteen means fulfillment of generational promises. Sixteen means the, the deep, deep love of God for us. Okay? Right, John 3:16 “For God so loved the world. He gave His only son.” Fourteen, there’s fourteen generations between King David and King Jesus, and four is the Hebrew number for door. Who’s the door? Jesus. 

Let’s read this, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them which also sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” 

Let me tell you something. Everybody thinks that is us rising up into the air. Let me tell you something. Who are the dead in Christ? Us! We’ve already died in Christ. We’ve died of what? The flesh. We died of the worldly ways. We already died in Christ. We’re dead to sin. We’re born again. We’ve already died in Christ. When you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the old man has died. The new man in Christ is alive, and Jesus said it will be as the days of Noah when He returned. So what does that mean? Go back and read what happened to the ark of Noah.

So if Jesus Christ is our new covenant and He is an ark, and Noah and his household were saved in the ark, it means that we’re safely in the ark. We’ve died of the world. We’ve died of, of the, of the fleshly, worldly ways, and we’re alive in Christ. Yes, we’re living in the world, but we’re not of the world. So when Jesus returns we’re going to be connected with him first. He’s going to greet us first, but we’re going to be on the earth, and we’re going to be risen above spiritually. Like, we’re not going to float up in the air. It’s going to be like the days of Noah, and what happened with Noah? Noah went safely into the ark of the covenant. God shut him and his household in the ark. And it says when the judgment waters, floods came and swept away the wicked, it said and then the ark was lifted up in the air above the judgment. 

Listen to me! Listen to me! It’s the wicked that are going to be removed. We’re already in covenant with Jesus Christ. We’re safe in His ark. We’re sealed in by His blood. We’ve already died to the world. The dead in Christ shall rise first, meaning, we’re inthe ark of the covenant, and we’re going to be lifted up above what? The judgment, like Noah was lifted up in the ark because we’re safely in that covenant with God. And it says “you and your household.” That’s connected to this verse right here: 4:14-16; 1 Thessalonians 4:1416. 

Let’s read it again. “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them which also sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” We are inside the ark of the covenant. We are in Him. We are resting in Him. “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.” Which also means … Listen to me, as we’re alive on the earth, and, uh, this says “those who remain unto the coming of the Lord will not prevent them which are asleep.” Listen to me. Those who remain on the earth? We have several, several scriptures says the wicked will be removed, and the righteous will inherit the earth, the remnant, those who remain. Right?

So, in other words, we’re not going to prevent other Christians, and other Christians aren’t going to prevent us, right? We’re all going to be together — the remnant, the chosen ones — because there’s a lot of Christians right now that aren’t fully awake to God, right?

“For the Lord himself shall descend with the heaven [sic], from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archinjur, angle, angel [sic], and the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” What’s this mean is, that the awakening, the trumpet shall sound to prepare the way of the Lord. People are being awakened, and we’re looking up. We know the time is near. We’re ready to receive the Lord. We’re awakened, right, and there’s other Christians that are like spiritually asleep. They’re spiritually asleep, but they’re going to be awakened as well. And they will not be prevented from being in this ark of the covenant even, it’s like Jesus, when He said the parable about we’ve been working in the fields all this time, and all of a sudden somebody comes at the last minute and says, “Hey, can I work too?” And he gets the whole day’s wages when he didn’t work the whole time.

So this is what this means, that those even who come in at the last minute maybe they weren’t awakened early, maybe they weren’t prepared and awakened, like you’re, you’re praying for loved ones. You know they know Jesus, or maybe they say they’re Christians but they’re not fully awake and, and ready for the coming of the Lord. Even if they come at the last minute when they get shaken awake, they will not be prevented. They will not be prevented from coming to this time, you see? And they won’t be swept away with the wicked. 

Let me just explain this in layman’s terms. “For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” So we’re asleep in Jesus. We’re not asleep in the world. We’re asleep in Jesus. So let me explain this. We’re in Him, and He’s in us. We’re resting in Him, in the Lord, right? It’s like Noah inside the Ark. The judgment comes and we’re going to be lifted up above it safely in the Lord, right? 

“For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain in the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.” Which means, those who are also doing the work, right, we’re, um, we’re working, we’re all working the fields, and, and we can’t get angry if like, “Hey, wait a minute, I’ve been awake for 20 years. I’ve been out working the gospel for 20 years, preparing the way of the Lord, and you want to show up at the last minute and receive all these blessings of the Lord when he returns?” That’s what that means. Even those who have been, um, they’ve been, they’ve been in Christ, they’re Christians, but they haven’t been actually actively doing the work of the Lord. That’s that last minute person coming, and, and they’re going to get the same as us even if they haven’t been doing all the work we’ve been doing. You understand? And we can’t prevent them, and they can’t prevent us. Jesus is going to bring us all. 

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” In other words, those of us who have really died to the flesh, those of us who have really put it all on the cross, cross, we’re going to come before the Lord first. We’re going to come before the Lord first. We’re going to be the ones that are like first in line, okay, first in line, but we’re not going to prevent those who are just newly awakened. We’re not going to prevent those, right, because we’re already dead in Christ, and we’ve got to keep dying to self. 

This is a culmination of many, many parables of Jesus Christ giving us understanding, you understand? So when Jesus says it’s like the days of Noah, we’re lifted up above the judgment, us and our households. We’re sealed in the ark of the covenant, re, resting in Christ Jesus. Those who’ve been, uh, awake all this time and doing the work, we can’t prevent those that come at the last minute, and they can’t prevent us. Jesus is going to recieve all of us. And we’re going to be lifted up above what? The judgment. And He’s coming to the earth to rule and reign, and we’re going to rule and reign with Him. And those who have really died to Christ, who have died to the flesh, who have been 100% giving it up for Jesus — a complete new creation in Christ — are the ones that are going to be exalted first, right, to come and rule and reign with him and receive the rewards and all of those things. 

I had a dream, I had a dream that I was standing in line in Jerusalem, and I was in Jerusalem. It was a very vivid prophetic dream. And I was in Jerusalem, and I was … the line, it went around all these stone buildings, all the way around, and I was moving up in line, and I knew I was waiting to get in to see Jesus. And I was like …  this was very early, um, when I started my ministry, and I was kind of way, like kind of in the back, and the line was moving slowly. And, I, and we started to all be gathered around Jesus, and He was standing there like on this stone platform, and everybody was worshipping Him and praising Him. And I was like, “I got to get up to the front. I got to get up to the front.” And I remember having to work my way up to the front, and as I worked my way up and to the front, I said, “I’ve got to get loose a lot of this stuff that’s weighing me down.” And as I was getting to the front, I was like, “Okay, I’m going to loose my bag. I don’t care about my bag. I don’t care, I’m not, I, I don’t need to carry all this stuff up there. I just need to get to Him. I just need to get to Him.” 

So I’m dumping all this stuff off, and I’m getting through the crowd, and I finally get to the front. And He was, He had his back to me. The Lord had His back to me, and I was like, “What more do I need to do? You know? There’s, there’s something more,” and I fell down on my knees, and I went like this and it was like, it was like I opened up my clothing, but not in a bad way. It was like to expose my heart. That’s what I did. I like opened up my clothing to expose my heart, and I said, “Lord, I just came here with my heart! Listen to my heart! Listen to my heart.” 

And He turned around, and He looked at me, and He came down these little steps and He came in front of me, and I remember, it was like I actually saw His face, and I looked into His eyes. And they were like beautiful lions eyes. They were like gentle, but a, like, like a lion, and He put His hands on my shoulder and He said, “Now you understand.” He was like, “Now you understand.” And that was the end of the dream. 

And I realized this was this 1 Thessalonians 4:14-16 scripture that is we’ve got to keep dying to self and what He really wants is our heart, and when He returns, we’ve got to keep working, um, to dump all of our worldly stuff off and get closer to Him. And, um, but we can’t stop the others that believe in Him to get to Him even if we’ve done more work, even if we’ve done, you see, understand what I’m saying? And that goes back to that parable, um, the Lord of the, um, the vineyard that hires the workers and the workers that have been in their all day, right, they’ve been working all day and then all of a sudden these laborers come at the last minute, and they get the same wages. They get the same amount, and we, we can’t like begrudge them, but will we be moved up to the front of the line? Yeah. Yeah. The dead shall rise at first, but we will come up, we’ll, we’ll be exalted first because we have really died to self, right, in Christ. 

So I hope that explains that, okay? And those of you who want to understand that we, um, the lifting up is like the days of Noah. Those who are in Christ, we’re lifted up in the air above the judgment like the ark of the covenant was lifted up. While God comes in and judges the earth and wipes out the wicked, we’re going to be lifted up above it spiritually like it won’t touch us. For example, let me give you some scriptures. I hope I explained that to you good. 

You see, if you’re so focused on this rapture mentality, which Jesus never, ever really talked about. He didn’t say go and wait for me to beam you up out of here. He said go and spread the gospel to all the world. Go out and spread the good news to every creature, every living thing, and occupy until I come. And He said it’ll be like the days of Noah. The wicked were wiped out, and He’s the ark of the covenant. We’re inside Him, and He’s inside us. And we’re already dead in Christ. We’re already dead in Him, and we want to get more dead in Him. We want, what does that mean, the ways of the world are, are, and the ways of our flesh, right, we’ve been dying to self every day.

Now, let me get these scriptures so y’all understand here what I’m talking about. If your, if your, if you’ve been brainwashed on the beam-me-up-scotty rapture, uh, you’ll have a hard time understand what these scriptures really mean. And I mean no disrespect, I’m just telling you I went out and I searched the truth. You see, the whole rapture thing of being beamed up out of here has made the church complacent. It’s made us sit in those dusty pews waiting to be beamed up out of here instead of going out and doing what Jesus has told us to do, and the devil is laughing the whole time. Stop it! Get out and do the work of the Lord, and don’t be mad if certain people come at the last minute and they get, they get blessed too, right? It’s okay. Jesus said this would happen. 

Let me give you some scriptures here. Hang on. I may make some people mad, but, you know what, that’s just too bad. It is what it is. I got to speak truth. Stop waiting on the rapture and get to work occupying as kings and priests through Christ Jesus on earth as it is in Heaven. It is the wicked that will be removed and the righteous will inherit the earth. Let’s prepare Jesus’ bride and get the harvest ready for him. 

Here’s the scriptures: Matthew 24:38 – “For as the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark.” The wicked were removed and Noah and his household were saved. And the scriptures also said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your household shall be saved.” 

Who’s your household? Go before the Lord and say, “Lord, this is my household: me; my husband, Michael; my daughter, Landry; her beloved, Cory James [Inaudible]. This is our household, Lord. Let them all be covered under this scripture. Come on. 

Proverbs 10:30 – “The righteous shall never be removed, but the wicked shall never inhabit the earth.” The righteous shall never be removed! Never, never be removed! Never! But the wicked shall NOT inhabit the earth. That was Proverbs 10:30. 

So here’s your scriptures: Matthew 24:38; Proverbs 10:30. I use, I use the King James. 

Psalm 37:9. I did a whole teaching on Psalm 37, which is a prophecy of King David of the end times. (You can watch that teaching HERE) Psalm 37:9 – “For the evil doers shall be cut off, but those that wait upon the Lord,” which is connected to 1 Thessalonians 4:14-16, right? We’re waiting in Him. “They shall inherit the earth.” 

Psalm 37:10 – “For yet a little while and the wicked shall not be. Yea, you shall dili, diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.” In other words, the wicked are just going to be gone. They’re just going to disappear. You’re going to look around for them and they’re gone. Where’d they go? It’s happening right now. It’s happening right now. Where did James Comey go? Where [Inaudible]. One day he’s on Twitter — tweet, tweet, tweet — and the next day he’s gone. Bye, bye, birdie. Where is he? Where are these people? Where’d they go? This is a fulfillment of scripture. 

Psalm 37:11 – “But the meek,” again, those who are in Christ that died to self, that died to the world, we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, “But the meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in an abundance of peace.” Come on. Get ready. 

Psalm 37:28 – “For the Lord loveth judgment and forsaketh not his saints.” I love that it’s Psalm, Psalm 37, Old Testament that says, “He forsaketh not his saints.” Who are the saints? Us, us who are in Christ Jesus. Come on. “And forsaketh not his saints. They are preserved forever.” Our seed, our children, we are preserved where? In the earth forever. The kingdom is what? Coming to earth — on earth as it is in Heaven. Come on. And we’re preparing what? The way of the Lord. For Him to come and what? Rule here. But the seed of the wicked shall be what? Cut off! “The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein forever.” 

Revelation 5:10 – “And hast made us kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.” 

Revelation 20:6 – “Blessed,” 20 verse six. “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection. On such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”

He’s here. He’s at the door. We got to prepare the bride. We got to be ready. We got to be out working and doing what He’s told us to do. 

Luke 19:13 “And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, ‘Occupy until I come.’”

Matthew 28:19-20 contains what has come to be called as the Great Commission: “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the age.” We’re coming to the end of the age, and now we’re coming into the Kingdom Age — getting ready to rule and reign with Jesus Christ. Come on. 

Jesus, if, if Jesus is coming back for a sparkling, clean, beautiful bride shining like a diamond, we have work to do. Jesus gave this command to the apostles shortly before He ascended and essentially outlines what Jesus expected the apostles and those who followed Him to do in His absence. And we’re going to do it. And, devil, you’re a liar. I’m not sitting around waiting on the rapture to be beamed out of here. I’m doing the work of the Lord, and even if there’s certain people that come in at the last minute and start doing the work with me, I’m not going to begrudge them. I’m not going to get jealous and say, “Hey, wait a minute, I’ve been here for years doing all this, and now you’re ….” But I know because of those years of dying to self, there’s more rewards for me, and I’m going to get to the front of the line with Him. 

And that, my friends, is 1 Thessalonians 4:14-16 because Jesus is the door, number four. Fourteen, generational promises that come through Jesus Christ because we’re in His family now, and sixteen, the reckless love of God for us, and He [Inaudible] fulfill His promises. Hallelujah. 

Did I explain that good? I hope so. Some people might not like what I say. Oh, well, that’s the truth that the Lord revealed to me. (Timestamp: 1:21:48)

NOTES

Stop waiting on the rapture and get to work occupying as kings and priests through Jesus Christ on earth as it is in Heaven. It’s the wicked that will be removed, and the righteous will inherit the earth. Lets prepare Jesus’ bride and get the harvest ready for HIM. 

I realized that during the broadcast I forgot to mention the part about being caught up in the clouds, but I did address that the lifting up in the air is like the ark of Noah. I felt like I needed to add scripture about Noah’s ark being lifted up in the air to compare it to the New Testament. 

Matthew 24:37-39 (KJV) – 37 “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

Genesis 7:17’s parallels with John 3:14-15 and 12:32 are all the more interesting. The ark anticipates the lifting up of Christ on the cross. It also connects with the cross and the second coming we are lifted up with Christ.

Genesis 7:17 (KJV) – “And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.”

John 3:14-15 (KJV) – “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

John 12:32 (KJV) – “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”

 

PRAYER FOR YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD TO BE SAVED

You pray and come before the Father and speak this word:

“Father God, your word says in Acts 16:31  that “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.” Father God, I believe your word as you also promised this to Rahab of Jericho when she put out the scarlet thread, she and her household were saved. I believe the scarlet thread represents the Blood of Jesus, and I ask right now for Grace and Mercy by the Blood of Jesus,  Your Ark of the New Covenant. Father God you also sealed up Noah and his family safely in the Ark and they did not succumb to the earthly judgement. So Father God, I ask today that me and my household shall be saved according to your word and I place myself and my household in the Blood of Jesus and I ask for grace and mercy that we are all sealed up in the Ark of Covenant of Jesus Christ because I believe. Father God this is my household and I name them by name:

(then proceed to name you and your family members and yes any pets – the animals biblically are considered part of a household.)

“Father God thank You for being faithful to your word and I continue to pray for all my loved ones in my household to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior!  Thank You Father for Your Grace and Mercy over them and myself according to your word they will be protected in the time of judgement as you did with Rahab and Noah in Jesus Name, Amen”
