Watch the video, and then read the transcript below. Use the decree and additional resources as tools to activate the children and loved ones in your family for the kingdom of God.
ANNAMARIE: I know I’m just talking about the daughters, but I want to share this word for you about our children, about our children. Many of you have been struggling with your sons and daughters right now. Maybe they’re prodigal. Maybe they’re not stepping into their purpose. Maybe they’ve been, um, not trying to even go out and get a job, or they just seem to be despondent, or they’ve just been sitting at home in their rooms. You know? They haven’t fledged the nest.
And I have been praying, uh, for a long time for my daughter and her fiance, and, um, it just seems like they want to fledge the nest. Maybe you’ve got a son or a daughter; they want to get married. They want to fledge the nest. They need a, they need the finances to do it. They need a home. They, they’re trying to save up to get married. Or maybe you have a son or a daughter you’re praying for, or maybe you’re praying yourself, right, to be able to fledge and soar like an eagle.
The enemy has come against our children heavily, heavily over the last twenty years, particularly the last twenty years, um, in the schools, through all kinds of things in the media, through social media, and he has been doing everything he can to steal the confidence of our children. Uh, and I was like, “Lord, how do we pray for the children, young people that are stuck? They’re just stuck. They, they, they haven’t fledged the nest per se, or they, they want to get married. They want to have a family. They want, you know, good Holy Spirit opportunities.”
Um, I really went to the Lord, and He began to show me these eagles, these eagles on YouTube, and they’re on TikTok also. And, um, the Lord has been showing me eagles for a long time as I’ve been praying for America. And, uh, eagles represent prophetically … What do eagles represent prophetically? Eagles represent the long-term vision from the Lord, the long-term vision from the Lord. So if you’re seeing eagles around a lot it means that the Lord is giving you a long-term vision of faith of His long-term plans for you. And you must grab a hold of that vision, come into alignment with it, okay, and begin to activate on it in faith. Okay?
The enemy has done everything he can to steal the vision of our children to try and manipulate, to bring fear, like this whole global warming thing and all these things of fear, of, um, you know, and they were pounding it into the kids at school, like all this gloom and doom. What they were trying to do, they were trying to steal the vision that God has for our children. Okay? They were trying to steal the vision that God has for our children.
So I said, “Lord, we’ve been praying. We’ve been praying for our children. We went into the Court of Heaven. We found out that that is was a spirit of perversion that was trying to manipulate, uh, the things that our kids see and hear. And, so we went in and we repented for that, and we asked the Lord to, uh, cut off the spirit of perversion that’s perverting what our children see and hear. Okay?
So we did that; now the Lord is saying to me we’ve, we’ve got to pray to get His vision into our loved ones. What our loved ones, our children particularly – I [Inaudible], and this could be your adult children. This could be your adult children, and maybe you’re praying for them and they just don’t seem like they have any ambition, or maybe they do or they’re stuck and they’re, they’re, they’re not going out and, and, and building their own homes, they’re re, or getting, you know, getting their, getting their lives going or maybe they’ve been waiting for the right opportunity, and it just seems like these things have been holding it back. So the Lord said to me, “They must have My eagle vision. You must pray for your children and your adult children to have My eagle vision, My long-term vision, and I will put it in them.”
And so, as I was praying for my own daughter and her, her, her fiance, they, they were in a struggle at the time because of finances. They want to have enough finances so they can get married, start their home, all those things. I said, “Lord, you know I’ve been praying for finances and everything like that,” and the Lord showed me the eagle. He said, “Annamarie, pray that they come into alignment with my vision.” And when they have the Lord’s vision, they will fledge the nest and want to fly and want to soar. And they will not be afraid to go for the bigger opportunities. They will not be afraid, they will begin, they will be so motivated to do it.”
He said, “It starts with My vision in them.” It’s like, and then all of a sudden, uh, you know, we’ve been doing the 21 Day Fast, and I could see it so clearly. I can see it so clearly. I was like, “Lord, yes, it’s about them having Your vision and coming into alignment with Your vision.”
And when I think about Jeremiah, the prophet Jeremiah, and God brought the prophet Jeremiah, and He re, He reminds Jeremiah, “I knew you before you were born. I knit you in your mother’s womb. I put everything in you.” And He takes him up to the high place, and He says, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” Jeremiah 1:11. And Jeremiah says, “I see the branch of an almond tree.” And that is the budding of the early fruit, right? And, and God says to Jeremiah, “You have seen well, Jeremiah. I’m waiting on My word to perform it. I put My vision in you. I put My word in you. I’m waiting for you to see what I see. I’m waiting for you to speak what I put in you.”
Maybe you need this for yourself, but your children desperately need it. And until we pray for them to have the vision of the Lord, that eagle vision, Isaiah 40 … oh, my goodness. And the Lord said your children are like the baby eagles in the nest, and He showed me these eagles, and I’ve been watching these famous eagles at, uh, Big Bear, California, up in this tree. And this, uh, eagle pair, uh, Shadow and Jackie – Shadow is the daddy eagle, and Jackie is the mama eagle, and they had two baby eagles, and the two baby eagles are named, uh, Sunny and Gizmo. They’re two baby girls. And usually I’m not like watching this a lot, but the Lord says, “Watch.” He said, “This is,” uh, He, He, the Lord said that He’s making that eagle video go viral. He’s the one making it go viral to teach people how to be parents again, to teach us how to be good, godly parents again. He said it’s all about the eagle.
He said, “I’m speaking through these eagles.” I said, “Okay, Lord, You’re speaking through Jackie and Shadow and their two eaglets.” Well, these eagles, Sunny, the, the baby eagles are old enough to fledge the nest. Well, the one was not fledging the nest, Gizmo. She was afraid. Why was she … She was afraid, and she was also very, very comfortable, right? She was very comfortable.
Well, the one that was a few days older than her, Sunny, she went ahead and fledged, and she kind of did it in a dramatic way, very dramatic. She put her feathers over her little sister, so biblical, went up to the edge of the branch, spread her wings out, and just soared, right? That whole Isaiah 40 thing.
But little Gizmo, she was afraid, but she was also very, very comfortable in mama and daddy’s nest. She didn’t go up to the edge of the branch and look for the vision. Instead, she was kind of like on the branch looking back at the nest, always looking down, looking back at the nest, looking down, right? She did not look up. She did not look up with a vision, so her parents, Shadow and Jackie, began to leave her alone for a little bit because the other eagle had fledged. They came back and brought a little bit of food and then they would leave her alone for a little while. Okay? They were trying to get her to look up and look for them. Where are they? Look up. Look up. Look up. Look for them. They were teaching her how to look past her current circumstances. It’s so prophetic.
And then what they started doing when she still didn’t go to the edge of the tree branch and start to look up and look for them and look out for bigger, right, they started making the nest a little uncomfortable. They started putting a little bit more sticks around her, right, started bringing less food, okay. They still, and then they would come back and they would comfort her. They would love on her a little bit, encourage her. Well, the next day they were all gone, and she was like, “Okay, I’m going to do it.” And Gizmo, she goes a little bit further on that branch. She starts to look up and look around, and she loses her balance. She starts to fall, and she had no choice but to spread her wings and fly, and fly, did Gizmo fly.
I was so happy I started crying for her. I’m like, “Gizmo, she did it. She did it. She did it. She did it.” And it really was because her whole family rallied around her and helped her see the eagle vision, helped her see past her own circumstances and look out to greater things. And did they make things a little uncomfortable? Yeah, but not too bad, you know, just enough to kind of [Sound effect], you know, and caused her to look up and look out. And, oh, my goodness, you should see her now.
So I thought about my own daughter, and I thought about my own son-in-law, and I thought about they have to have the eagle vision. And the Lord reminded me, “Annamarie, you remember when Landry and Cory were first dating?” And I was like, “Yeah.” Mike and I locked ourselves out of the house, and Landry was at Cory’s house. It was the first year they were dating. We locked ourselves out of the house, and so, and I didn’t bring my purse because I thought Mike had his keys. We were just going somewhere quick.
And so Mike calls our daughter. She’s over at Cory’s house, at his mom’s house. They’re in their early twenties. And he says, “Landry, you’re going to have to come home with your spare key and let us in the house.” And it was kind of a chilly winter day. The skies were very blue, so Mike and I were standing outside the house waiting to get in, and Landry and Cory come in, and they come in, and they come in the driveway, and when they come in the driveway and they go to stop and they’re getting out of the car, and Landry’s getting ready with the keys, two American Bald Eagles … now, I’ve never seen them swoop down so close to my house. Two American Bald Eagles just swooped over the two of them, over the car. Mike and I were like, we’re all like, “Oh, gosh, look at those eagles. What?” And Landry came and opened up the key [sic].
And I said, “Lord, You’ve been showing me that this eagle prayer strategy has been a key all along for our children.” But I just did not see it. I was, you know, I was going in the Courts of Heaven. I was doing all those things. Yes, those are really good, but God was giving me a specific prayer strategy with the eagle vision for the two of them, that it was a key. It was a key to unlock their destiny and a key to unlock their marriage and a key to unlock their vision and their, and a key to unlock for them to fledge the nest and all of that. But, it, it, it wasn’t like too hard to figure out. God had it in front of me the whole time.
And so my word for you right now, if you are praying for your children, your adult children, and even for yourself and you’ve been waiting on something, right – Isaiah 40 – you know, and we had that scripture, we ask Father God, just, just speak this with me. “Lord Jesus Christ, we ask You right now, in Your name, as we present this petition to Father God, that this key that You have given us, the key of the eagle vision to see the Father’s vision, Lord Jesus, You saw the Father’s vision. You and the Father were one. You saw what the Father saw, and we want our sons and daughters to see what Father God sees. We want our sons and daughters and even us, as parents, right now we are asking in Your name, Lord Jesus. We are asking it to be given to us right now, in the name of Jesus. We want the eagle vision of Almighty God. The same eagle vision that You gave Your own Son, Father God, the Lord Jesus Christ, come into full and complete alignment with Your vision for us, as mothers and fathers, and for our children and our children’s children.”
“For my daughter, Landry; for her beloved, Cory; receive the eagle vision of the Lord. Come into alignment with God’s long-term vision for your life right now, in the name of Jesus. We believe it is done. We thank You, King Jesus. We thank You, Father God, that this has been unlocked right now. It’s been released into our sons and daughters, the eagle-vision of God, the long-term vision of God, for our children to come into complete alignment with the long-term vision of God for their lives. And Jesus saw what the Father saw, so do our children, that long-term vision. As Jesus saw what the Father saw, so do we as parents, the long-term vision of God. Thank You, Jesus.” And you receive it too, the eagle vision.
We decree and declare that our children have fledged the nest right on time, perfect timing, and that they are soaring, and they are blessed, and they are abundant, and they are building their own nests even close by to our nests.
Father You’re teaching us through the eagle. Thank You for showing us the Big Bear eagles in California. We know that California is Your mama bear. Mama bear has to teach her baby bears, and mama eagle has to teach her baby eagles. We must teach them how to have long-term vision to look up and to be motivated to build their, build their nest, motivated to go and get the provision with absolutely no fear. They see the vision, and they are confident in it, and they will spread their wings and fly and soar. And You are with them. You are the wind beneath their wings, Lord. They are led by Your Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ mighty name.
Now I’m going to have my team take this teaching and this word and this decree and put it on a page together for you for those of you who want to pray for your children and your adult children to be activated to fledge the nest, the build their own nest, to see the vision God has for them and be motivated to carry it out and come into alignment with that.
And ask the Holy Spirit to help you be like the mama eagle or the like, you know, what do you need to do to help them fly, to help them soar, to help them fledge the nest, to help them go and build their own nest?
And le, let me tell you something, y’all. I have learned, I’m watching these eagles; I have learned so much. God is speaking through them so incredibly. And let’s read Isaiah right now. Yes, and their spouses, yes long-term vision. Phil Zoerlein is, is praying over his son and daughter, Jonathan and Leana, and through, and their spouses have long-term vision. They have the vision of God. They have fledged the nest. They are ready, and they have fledged the nest and they have a long-term vision of God, and they are motivated to do it, right? They are motivated to do it. They are confident to do it, in Jesus’ name.
And let’s get this scripture, Isaiah 40:31. Now, 40 biblically represents a wilderness season. Okay? Forty represents coming out of a wilderness season. Right, the Israelites came out of the wilderness season into the promised land on the fortieth year. Thirty-one, come on, come on, 31 represents the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the three in one, the one in three – Father, Son, Holy Spirit – Jesus being activated into His ministry at 31 years old. This is so prophetic. This is the eagle vision, the long-term vision of God put into you and your children, rising up as on eagle’s wings. We ask the Lord to, to do this swiftly at the speed of light. Thank You, Jesus.
Isaiah 40:31, “But those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.”
So we decree Isaiah 40:31 over our children and our grandchildren. They shall fledge the nest right on time. They have the eagle vision and the eagle anointing. They shall be motivated to build their own nests and have the long-term vision God has given to them. And then Jesus would move as quick as the speed of light on this for those who have been waiting for our children to fledge the nest, our grown children, and build their own nest with their spouses and be great builders, be great hunters, be great providers, be great gatherers, be great parents to their own eaglets.
And so your homework tonight, and this is just so beautiful. You can watch, uh, Big Bear eagles, uh, Jackie and Shadow, and, uh, watch it, watch it, watch it tonight and be inspired. And ask the Lord to reveal to you how you are to pray over your children for this, for this vision. And take this prayer that I just gave you, okay?
Now, also the Daughters of Victory Prayer, go back and do it again for yourself, for your own daughters, for your own granddaughters. Okay? Take these resources I am giving you, and know that God is doing it. He wants us to come into alignment with His vision for this time. And the keys have been right in front of me this whole time, but you see, sometimes we get wrapped up in the distraction and the fear and the worry. We say, “No, my child is the eagle. I’m an eagle. I have the vision of the Lord in me. My child has the vision of the Lord in him and in, my child has the vision of the, my child has the vision of the Lord in her. We are the chosen of the Lord. He has brought us to a high place so we can see what He sees. We don’t look at fear anymore. Come on.
I’m not telling you to go into your kids’ rooms and start putting sticks all around them to make them uncomfortable like Jackie and Shadow do with their eaglets, but you can do little things, right, little things. Like my daughter said, “Oh, mom, would you buy this for me on Amazon because you have free shipping,” and I was like, “No, I can’t do that.” You know? I want to motivate her to go out and want to, for her and Cory to go out and want, you know, more for themselves, have a bigger vision. You know? Just, it’s little things that I say, you know, there’s certain things that you say no to, right? Once in a while, you know, if she needs a little extra money for gas or she needs a little extra money for food, I’ll send her a little Venmo. You know? But she’s going to school right now. She’s going to online school, and she’s working in, you know, part time, but, you know, but there’s things that you got to do where you’re just like, you’re going to say no to some things. You’re going to add that little uncomfortable stick, right? And you’re going to keep praying that the vision of God is in them and that King Jesus will move like the speed of light on this. And they see it. They’re motivated by it. They’re, they’re pulled by it, that eagle vision. Yes. And it’s so powerful.
And, you know, we’ve got to take back what the enemy has stolen and give it back to our children with our words so we undo what the enemy has done against their vision by speaking these words into them. So ask the Holy Spirit for the right word at the right moment to speak to your children. “Oh, wouldn’t you like to have your own kitchen? If you had your own kitchen, how would you decorate it? Oh, if you had your own house, would you have a garden?”
Start to help them see, okay? Start to help them see past the video games and the legos and their constant scrolling of social media, um, or, or the fear of, you know, the, the, the false narrative of global warming and all that, right?
How do we break them out of that? We’ve got to start speaking vision into them as well. We’re asking God to put His vision into them, but we’ve also got to start, we’re adding a little stick. We’re adding a little stick. We’re adding a little stick. We’re adding, just like the eagles do, right? “Oh, come out a little further out here on the branch. Come on, let’s, let’s soar. Come, come, come and see. Come and see. Come and see with me.
So like, you know, if I have my daughter in the kitchen, I’m like, you know, “How would you design your kitchen?” See? And that gets the juices flowing of her having that desire, that vision to want to build and, you know, it brings that, that, those, uh, the hopelessness that the demonic wants to bring and the, uh, you know, the, the despondency the demonic wants to bring trying to either cloud their vision or take their vision. We’ve got to continue to bring it back.
You might say, “Well, gee,” you know, um, if you’re daughter isn’t talking to you or your, your son isn’t talking to you, or you might want to be like, uh, “Okay, uh, what, what do I say? I don’t have the words. What do I say?”
Well, this is what Mike and I do. Okay? We just wait for an opportunity, and we go for it. Right? We wait for an opportunity, and we go for it. Food is usually a good one because they want food. Right? They want food. “Do you want to go out to eat? Do you want to go do breakfast? Hey, you want tacos? I’m doing tacos tonight. Tacoooo. Tacoooos!” Tacos are really good. They work. Yeah. All right? [Inaudible] And then Mike and I don’t try to bombard too much, but we get, we get Landry and Cory there. You know, we’re like, “Oh, if you could build a house, how would you build it? How would you like your kitchen?” Mike takes Cory out to the garage and says, “Hey, you want to ride in my truck?” And Cory’s like, “Man, I’d love to have a truck like that.” “You can have one. You, you can, you, you want a truck like that? You can have a truck like that.”
So what we’re doing is we’re getting these visionary, we’re, we’re, right, we’re sowing these visionary seeds into them and watering them. That’s, that’s kind of like what Mike and I do, and it’s working pretty good – tacos and pancakes, or my famous chicken parmigiana. That always gets Cory over here so we can talk to him.
But, you know, maybe, you know, the Lord will, will give you, uh, something else that will bring you into that opportunity to sow seeds. You know, I know Phil, he takes his son to the races and talks to him, or he, you know, takes him fishing or whatever. You know, the thing is is you’ve got to show them that you are a visionary too. So, for example, lead by example, and that’s what the eagles are also doing too. The eagles are also doing this lead by example with the kids, you know, building up the nest, building up the nest, building up the nest, uh, going hunting, doing things.
So I’m like, “Okay, Mike and I got to continue to build up our nest here.” Okay, we, renovating the bedroom, renovating the laundry room, renovating the kitchen. We’re including our daughter in it, part of the renovation. Cory comes over I’m like, “Hey, would you carry that big bag of soil and help me in the garden?” You know, he’s strong, okay?
So we’re just trying to include them in these little projects to help them, and now they’re more talking about their house, and I went to my daughter and I said, “What is the biggest thing that you want me to pray for you and Cory right now?” And she’s like, “That we’ll get married and have our own house.” Before, it was like, you know, like little things that, you know, she’s, now she’s starting to see bigger. She starting to see the bigger picture.
But you’ve got to include them in these things. You’ve got to get the juices flowing. You’ve got to get them looking up. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the utterance to do that.
And so from watching these eagles – thank you, Jackie and Shadow, the eagle mom and dad. Thank you, Gizmo and, and Sunny. Thank you most of all, Father God, for teaching me through the eagles. It’s been in front of me this whole time, and that has been the biggest breakthrough and the revelation that I’ve had from doing this 21 Day Fast for one week. And this is just on the first week, and the Lord gave me that download yesterday, and I was like, “Oh, my goodness, it’s been in front of my face the whole time.” But because I fasted and prayed, I was able to hear God a little clearer on all this, and He said that’s it right there. That’s they key. Just like the eagle family, you’ve got to start acting and praying that way, and this is how it’s going to come, all going to come together.
And He made, He made the prayer strategy so simple to me because a lot of times you’re praying for your kids or you’re praying for your family, or you’re just like, “What do I pray next?! I’m all out of prayers. I’ve done every strategy. Now what?” So I start praying in tongues. Then I start fasting. And then he gives me this download of the eagles, and I’m like, “Father, it’s been right in front of me the whole time. How did I not see it?” Right? Because when you, when you fast, you’re cleaning out all that clutter, and you’re just focusing on hearing God, and He can finally say, “Hello, I’ve been trying to tell ya! I’ve been trying to show ya!”
So we’ll make a special video about this for those of you who are praying for your adult children, um, and, uh, how this strategy was all brought together from the Lord. And I pray that it blesses someone today. I pray that it blesses someone today. I know it blesses Phil because Phil and Kathie have been praying for their adult children, and um, I know it really blesses him, and he’s been needing the next strategy.
[Reading viewer comment] In agreement with this prayer, the long-term vision of God for her children and her husband and herself, in Jesus’ name.
Yes, amen.
[Reading viewer comment] Wow, she feels the Holy Spirit goose bumps. Amen. She’s praying this for her three children.
Fly, eagles, fly. Whew! That’s right. [Reading viewer comment] Thank You, Lord, for doing this swiftly – Overflow of His glory – she decrees Isaiah 40:31 over her children. Yes. Yes, eagle vision. That’s right, Phil. The eagle vision is in Jonathan and Leanna Zoerlein. Hallelujah. Yes, yes.
You know, I think that, um, … fly, eagle fly. Phil’s saying, “Hello, McFly. McFly, hello!” Well, you know what, Phil? Sometimes, you know, you’re just so wrapped up in, you know, you’re worried about your kids. “Are they ever going to do this? Are they ever going to do that?” You know, and you get yourself built up in that anxiety. It’s like, “Oh, you know, [Sound effect],” and, and, and you don’t see what God sees for them, you know? You get so wrapped up in your own worries over them and your own anxieties over your children that you don’t see what God sees for them. And it really needs to be, uh, simplified, just going to the Father and saying, “Okay, Father, what do You see?”
And when He gave me this revelation of the eagles, and he made the prayer strategy just so simple, and He had me watching these eagles and how to pray and how to start decreeing over my daughter and her fiance, I was like, “This is so easy. This is so simple. It’s so obvious.”
You know, and you are, you’re kind of like, “Hello, McFly!” You know, the Lord has been showing it to you this whole time, but, you see, um, God really does start right where you are, and He does really start simply. We tend to over complicate it, and then our anxiety gets in the way and our worry gets in the way, and, if it’s not happening fast enough for us, we start get discouraged, and then we start getting angry at our kids. And we don’t want that, you know? We do not want that.
And, um, so we want to continue to be like the eagle, and I saw how patient those eagle parents were being with their eaglets, but yet they were just subtly doing things, and I was like, “Oh, my gosh, God showed us exactly how to be good parents through the eagles.”
And when He told me He put these Big Bear eagles in, at, uh, um, Big Bear Lake in California, um, and just watching them that He’s speaking to us as parents right now. And there are thousands, I mean, there are millions of people watching this. And I thought, “Lord, You are taking these eagles, and You are using it for Your good, and You are giving people hope again, and it’s, people are seeing it, comparing it to their own lives and children, and He’s using these eagles to help bring vision and hope back into us. And, you know, it all confirms in His word, you know? It all confirms in His word.
Freedom wins, she touches and agrees with God’s eagle vision over ourselves and our children, in Jesus’ mighty name.
And look, this word has finished it up at 2:22 – 222. Two means key – 222 being key directly from Jesus, that Jesus is the one opening up these doors. He is the one opening up these doors. So if you’re seeing 222, 222, 222, 222 over and over again, it means this word is from Jesus, this strategy is from Jesus. He’s the one opening up the doors on this, so step forward. It’s confirmed. It’s from the Lord, and, wow, we finished up this word on the eagles, right, at 2:22. Confirmation!
I’m so glad I get to share this with so many of you. It just blesses me, and, um, you know, I’m so excited to see what God does in our children. This, and this is, this is Jesus, this is the heart of the Father, and, um, He loves to teach us through nature, through His creation, and He confirms it in His word. So beautiful. So beautiful. Thank You, Father God.
