Prayer: Asking For More Faith To Move In The Miraculous Power Of God

Prayer: Asking For More Faith To Move In The Miraculous Power Of God

By |

If you need more faith, it’s all about asking! Jesus said if we even have faith as small as a mustard seed we could command those mountains to move, and we can ask God for more faith. Ask for anything in My name, Jesus said, and it will be given to you. 

Watch the video below, and then pray along with the prayer that follows to receive more faith!

 

Reach out your hands and ask Father for more faith. 

Pray Out Loud

Heavenly Father, Father God, we enter into Your gates with thanksgiving and your courts with praise. I’m coming to You hungry. I ask today for more faith. Jesus says if we have faith the size of a mustard seed that is marvelous faith already. I command any mountain in my way to throw itself into the sea, and I’m asking today for more of this marvelous faith. I want a second and third and fourth and fifth helping of faith. I want faith like You have, Jesus. I want faith for the impossible. 

I come to You, Father God, in Your throne through the blood of Jesus that gives me access to You, and I can ask for anything that I want in Jesus’ name, and it will be given to me. But first, I trade this fear, this unbelief. I trade it and put it at Your feet. I don’t want fear and unbelief anymore. I trade it through the blood of Jesus and put it at Your feet. In exchange, I want more faith. I want marvelous faith, an abundance of faith, an unlimited amount of faith. I want so much faith that I can hardly contain it. I am walking in signs, wonders, and miracles. My gifts are operating in miraculous faith, marvelous faith. I have so much belief. 

I receive the belief of the centurion who said to Jesus, “Lord, You just say the word and my servant is healed.” Jesus marveled at his faith. I have marvelous faith. I receive marvelous faith. Jesus marvels at my faith. I stretch out my arms, and I receive so much faith from You, Father God. In Jesus’ name, I receive it. I ask for it. I believe it’s been given to me. Let it overpower me, so much faith overtake my entire being. 

I command my mind, my body, my soul, my spirit, my will, my emotions, my heart, my life,  and my circumstances to receive marvelous faith. My eye gates, my ear gates, my mouth gate are now ruled by the marvelous faith of Jesus Christ. No more fear. No more doubt. No more unbelief. I walk in the gift of abundance and overflowing marvelous faith. People will even say, “Look at his/her faith. I want the kind of faith you have.” And I will say, “Let me pray over you. I have enough faith for both of us.” I will be imparting faith onto people because the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ flows to me, into me, and through me. I am a conduit of faith. 

Father God, I thank You, as I receive this abundance of faith, marvelous faith, right now, I discern and receive and feel this faith and belief, powerful belief at the power of God, faith and  the power of God, and the power and the authority of Jesus Christ overtaking me, causing me to just shake in this electrical power of the supernatural faith of God overtaking me. Glory to God. 

I walk in the light and the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing is too hard for me because of God who is within me – the power of God, the power of the Holy Ghost, the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. I come in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I come in the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. My faith is so great that the miracles begin to happen even before I step into the room. My faith even goes before me. My faith goes supernaturally. Every time I speak by faith and I speak into something even if it’s far away from me, I believe it’s already done. I have already-done faith. I have already-done faith, the faith of Abraham. I see things that are not until they are. I have already-done faith. I have marvelous faith.

I’ve asked for more faith, and I’ve received it today. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name, I seal these prayers, I seal these impartations in the precious blood of Jesus, and nobody can take my faith away. It’s here with me forever, and the things that I speak by faith that are done by faith are established forever, and nothing can come against it. Thank You, Father God, for more faith. You are the giver of good gifts, the Father of Lights where there’s no shadow or turning. I don’t even have to pay for these gifts. It has been given to me today. I owe nothing because Jesus already paid for it. I came with receipts, and I receive of it. I walk in great faith today. 

Father God, I even want You to test my faith. I’m not afraid. Give me a little test today on my faith. Give me somebody to pray over today. Give me somebody that’s struggling with their faith today, Father God, and I will say, “It’s okay, I’ve got enough faith for both of us.” Give me someone to pray over today, Father God, where I pray miraculous things over them by faith. It’s okay; I’m ready to do it, Lord, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name! So be it and amen. 

Prayer To Invite The Holy Spirit To Be Your Best Friend

Prayer To Invite The Holy Spirit To Be Your Best Friend

By |

If you are feeling lonely or down because you don’t have a good friend or group of friends, you need to make the Holy Spirit your best friend first. I went through a period of time where I felt this way too. I didn’t have any close female friends to go to lunch with or to go shopping with. I tried to make friends with ladies at church and other places, but it just didn’t go well. I was kind of sad and feeling lonely, so I went to the Lord about it. He told me He knew how I felt. This surprised me. I didn’t know what He meant, and He said, “My Holy Spirit is ignored all the time. I’m a person, and you ignore Me all the time. I want to be your friend, and you ignore me all the time.” 

I was so convicted in my spirit! I said, “Holy Spirit, I’m so sorry. You are a person. You want to be my friend. You’re right here. You want me to talk to You.” I realized that He’s a person. He’s a friend. He’s a helper, and we ignore Him all the time. He is teaching us how to be a good friend. 

Our selfish, soulish, human nature wants our value in human companionship. In other words, if human people don’t like us or want to be our friends, we feel like we don’t have any value, that we’re being ignored. But God is saying to us that our value is in the companionship we have with God through His Holy Spirit first and foremost. And we cannot be a good human friend or understand what a good human friend is until we know what it’s like to be a true friend with the Holy Spirit. 

So during that time, I was all by myself. I had no human friends. I was alone. All I had was God, and He brought me to the end of myself and the end of all people to fully and completely rely on Him. It taught me how He feels, that He has feelings too. He knows what it’s like to be ignored, to be alone because you’re not talking to Him or acknowledging that He’s there. 

I apologized to the Holy Spirit for not being His friend and decided to team up with Him, to walk with Him and talk with Him, and I asked Him to teach me how to be a good friend.

Meaningful deep friendships with my husband, my daughter, my neighbor, and my team didn’t come until I learned how to be a true friend to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to be a true friend with me.  So if you are in this same situation, reach your hands out to Him, welcome Him with open arms, and pray this simple prayer.

Pray Out Loud

  • “Holy Spirit, I am so sorry for ignoring You. I repent. I’m asking You to forgive me. You are my helper and my best friend. I repent for looking to people to validate me. I repent for looking for people to give me my worth as a friend. Holy Spirit, I now look to You. You are my friend. My value and my worthiness come through You, Holy Spirit, the spirit of God. You were given to me as a gift from Jesus when He ascended into Heaven. Jesus even said to His disciples who felt they were going to be left all alone, ‘Don’t worry. It’s better that I should go to My Father, and He will send you His Holy Spirit who will be an even better friend to you. He will never leave you and never forsake you. He will help you.’


  • “Thank You for this gift, Father God. Thank You for this gift, King Jesus. Holy Spirit, right now I welcome You into my life. Holy Spirit, I invite You to be my best friend, and I will be Your best friend. Holy Spirit, I want to talk with You, walk with You, and ride in the car with You every day. Let’s talk. Let’s have fun together. Let’s talk about everything. I want Your wisdom. You are the best at everything, Holy Spirit. I trust You. Let’s be friends. 


  • “Holy Spirit, teach me how to be a good friend to You so I can be a good friend to others. Holy Spirit, I know by faith that You’re here. You’re with me. You’re in me. You’re on me. You’re beside me. I command everything in my life to receive of You, listen to You, and honor You as my best friend, Holy Spirit. I invite You to my table. I invite You shopping. I invite You everywhere I go. I invite You when I sleep and when I’m awake. I even invite You in the bathroom, everywhere. I’m not ashamed. You know everything about me, and I want to know everything about You. Thank You, Holy Spirit. I receive You in Jesus’ name. Amen and amen.”

Decree Out Loud

  • “Did you hear the news? Holy Spirit is my best friend. He’s with me day and night. He talks with me and walks with me. He tells me things that I could never know, and I love Him.”
Prayer To Enforce The Blood Of Jesus Over Your City Or State

Prayer To Enforce The Blood Of Jesus Over Your City Or State

By |

REMINDER: If you see anything evil or violent happening in your city or state, enforce the BLOOD OF JESUS over it right now. We have been in the COURTS OF HEAVEN on this, and the BLOOD has spoken for us, BUT LIKE A RESTRAINING ORDER, WE MUST ENFORCE IT!

I PROCLAIM THE BLOOD OF JESUS SPEAKS A BETTER WORD OVER ALL EVIL AND HAS ALL AUTHORITY OVER THE LAND, FATHER GOD! ALL EVIL MUST CEASE AND DESIST IMMEDIATELY! THE BLOOD OF JESUS HAS SPOKEN!

Prayer To Stand In The Gap For Loved Ones Who Refuse To Forgive

Prayer To Stand In The Gap For Loved Ones Who Refuse To Forgive

By |

A viewer asked the following question on a recent broadcast: “Can unforgiveness cause sickness, like cancer?” 

Annamarie: Absolutely, YES! Unforgiveness is connected to bitterness, and the Bible says, “Bitterness eats away at the bones and the marrow.” Now, you take the word of God and you realize why Jesus said, “Forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive. Hold no bitterness, no offense, and no unforgiveness towards anyone.” Not just because it’s a sin but because it causes sickness. The Bible says that bitterness will eat away at the bones and the marrow. Our bones and bone marrow make red blood cells, healthy cells that fight against cancer and disease. 

So if a person is holding bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, or offense, it directly affects their health. Those aren’t my words. That is the word of God. So if you know a person who just will not forgive – they’re holding bitterness, anger, and offense towards a person, and they’re struggling with an infirmity, you can stand in the gap for that person. You can’t just bind the spirit of infirmity off of them. You have to get to the root of that infirmity.

Pray Out Loud

Holy Spirit, my helper, in Jesus’ name, will You lead _______ to repentance? Holy Spirit, do what only You can do. Convict him/her of his/her sins of unforgiveness, bitterness, offense, and anger, and lead him/her to repentance – a free gift for all of us. I thank You, Holy Spirit. You are faithful. You are my helper. Thank You, Father, for sending the Holy Spirit to help me with _______. 

Father, I present _______ to You, and I place him/her in the blood of Jesus. I stand in the gap for him/her, and I ask You to move him/her from the courtroom of judgment to the throne of grace and mercy, so he/she will be under grace and mercy while Your Holy Spirit works on him/her. I ask You to lift the veils off of his/her eyes and give him/her eyes of understanding. Enlighten his/her heart. I stand in the gap for him/her right now, and I bind the spirit of unforgiveness. I bind the spirit of anger. I bind the spirit of offense. I bind the spirit of bitterness. I bind the spirit of infirmity. 

And I loose and release the spirit of life on them. I loose the spirit of the living God on them. I loose dunamis power of the Holy Ghost on them. I release resurrection power on them to do a work in them and to bring them to their knees in repentance, in Jesus’ name.

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

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

By |

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

Watch the video, and then read the transcript below.

 

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

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

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

Pray Out Loud

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

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

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

Transcription

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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