Transcription of the word that the Holy Spirit gave to Annamarie Strawhand, which she delivered during her broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane on July 21, 2026.

Watch the video, and then read the transcript below.

 ANNAMARIE: Um, referring back to some of my prophetic words that are coming to pass through what the Lord has been showing me. And I do have an amazing word for the moms tonight. So, uh, get on in here.

Hey, everybody’s saying, “Hey.” So, listen y’all, okay, I had to wear my mama bear shirt tonight and I had to wear my mama bear hat because I had a prophecy back in 2019 – a, a very powerful prophetic word. It was on July 2, 2019. The Lord brought a word and, uh, I was obedient to speak it. 

And in that word, he was mainly pinpointing California and he said, “Watch my mama bears, says the Lord. My mama bears” – meaning moms, moms, not the actual animal, but moms, human moms – “will arise and they will roar and they will claw, and they will take territory for the children and they will put the fear of God into those evil leaders and drive them out.” 

Well, it’s very, very interesting because California – we do have quite a few listeners from California. I know I’m on the East Coast. Y’all are on the West Coast. Anybody here from California today? How about our West Coasters? Listen to this. Okay.

Well, there’s an area called Big Bear Lake in California, Big Bear Lake in California. And I’ve talked about this eagle family, American bald eagle family that has a, a camera on their nest 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They livestream, um, from this Big Bear Valley, um, you know, eagle, uh, club, sanctuary that they have. And they have been broadcasting these eagles.

And the mama eagle’s name is Jackie, and the daddy eagle’s name is Shadow, and just following them. Their story is extremely prophetic. And will God speak through birds?  Absolutely. God speaks through animals. He speaks through nature in a big way, speaks very prophetically through nature to give us confirmation of what he’s doing right now. 

Well, I have been talking about Jackie and Shadow and their nest and their baby eagles, uh, before. I have been talking about, “Watch them. The Lord is speaking through them. He’s speaking about America. He’s speaking about California, what he’s doing in California and what he’s doing in America through these eagles.” 

I’ve been watching them pretty closely, and as I’m watching different things happen with the eagles, I’m going to the Lord about it. Well, we all know that eagles represent many, many biblical symbols, many biblical symbols throughout the Bible. 

The main thing that eagles represent is our faith, our faith, our faith, right? We know that from Isaiah 40, right? Those who wait upon the Lord and do not grow weary and stay in faith, keep persevering. The Lord’s timing will come, and he will lift you up on his own breath, on his, on his spirit and you will soar as on eagle’s wings.

Well, this mama bird, Jackie, she’s a mama bear. She is fierce. I mean fierce. And her behavior is even more fierce and protective and territorial as a mother than most eagles. And a lot of the people that are eagle experts in that area say this, this mother eagle, Jackie, is extraordinary, extraordinary. I mean, extraordinary.

So, she’s got two eaglets. They’re starting to learn to fly, and, um, she’s been taking good care of them. The, the father eagle named Shadow. I love it because his name represents the Father, right? We abide under the shadow of the Almighty. We look at Psalm, uh, uh, 91, right? We abide under the shadow of his wings.

And this daddy bird represents Father God in so many ways. And the Lord started showing me how these two eaglets in the nest and what’s going on with this nest is representing what he’s doing in America and what he’s doing with his people right now and California.

Well, there’s been some turmoil around the nest with other female eagles. They’re younger than Jackie, but they’ve been trying to take territory from her, and they’ve been trying to attack her and they’ve been trying to, you know, take over the nest. Well, there’s been a very, there’s a ter, what you call a territorial spirit happening. 

So when we see things that are happening in nature, all right, when we see things happening in weather, when we see things happening in nature, uh, that represents what is happening territorial in the spirit realm, right? We, we read Ephesians chapter, uh, you know, Ephesians chapter 6. We do not wrestle with flesh and blood. We wrestle with powers, principalities, right, territorial spirits that we’re always having to deal with. That’s why we put on our whole armor of God.

Well, this mama bird, Jackie, she’s a fierce fighter. I mean, she is tough. She is a mama bear eagle. She doesn’t mess around. Okay. Well, she’s been fighting off and fighting off and fighting off and fighting off these territorial birds. She has been in spiritual warfare literally for weeks while she fought herself to the point of exhaustion where she couldn’t even fly anymore. She was literally on the ground and people in the area, particularly a photographer named David, who took, takes a lot of photography of the birds on the ground, noticed her grounded on the ground last week and he knew that was her. 

So, they were trying to call somebody to help. Uh, she was struggling to fly. She was skinny. She was weak. And these birds, these other birds were trying to hit her for territory, and she just kept fighting back. I mean, she would not give up. I mean, this bird is incredible. 

Well, the daddy bird was taking care of the eaglets up in the nest because she, he’s a great hunter, right? He was bringing them fish while she was fighting off the territorial, other birds. Well, it got to the point where she fell in the water and she was barely able to swim herself out, and some people saw her and got her to shore and the only thing they could do was call the fire department.

And you know what I told you – first responders, fire department, police represent the angels of the Lord. The angels of the Lord, and literally.

So, they started to try and call the rescues – the bird rescues, the raptor rescues – in the area. And this fire chief of Big Bear, this county area, I think it’s Ventura County, stayed with Jackie till 2:00 in the morning, watching over her and protecting her until the bird rescue got there.

That represents the angels of the Lord staying with that bird until the rescue got here. And guess where they ended up taking her to the bird rescue and rehab? Ojai, California. 

Now, you’ve heard me talk about Ojai, O J A I, California, over and over and over again. You’ve told, you’ve heard me talk about Ojai, California. Ojai, California, is where Marcela Crawford is from. Marcela’s been coming onto our broadcast for many years. She’s a praying mama and a praying grandmama. But let me tell you something. She is a boots-on-the-ground intercessor for California. She is our top, one of our top boots-on-the-ground intercessors in the state of California. And she has done land assignments, gate assignments, water assignments, prayer assignments – repenting, repenting, repenting, pouring the blood of Jesus, pouring the anointing, the entire area of Ojai, California. I mean, it is prayed over. 

And she used to work at an olive oil farm that looks, this olive oil farm looks like Israel. It looks like Israel. It looks like the place that Jesus walked and prayed. Incredible. The oil is just flowing from that place. It’s so anointed. 

Well, just this past week, right before Jackie the bird was rescued and taken to Ojai, California, Marcela did a gate prayer assignment at the main gate to the area of Ojai, California. I’m telling you, it’s amazing how this is lining up with our prayers. Amazing.

Now, Marcela, I don’t know if you’re here tonight, darling. She usually is. She just got done with that gate prayer assignment where the blood of Jesus Christ was poured on the main gate of that city, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, dedicated to God, Jesus Christ taking dominion – meaning the angels of the Lord come in and remove all the demonic powers and principalities that are operating in that area. What? What? What? I mean, the, the, the connection is just incredible.

You see, God gave Adam and Eve dominion over the earth and over all the animals. Satan came in and stole it with his lies. And Jesus Christ gave us back dominion. That means we have all authority on the ground to repent and apply the blood of Jesus Christ. Take dominion back for Jesus Christ. 

Romans chapter 8 says that the earth itself is crying out for the sons and daughters of God to be birthed again in the earth because it’s not the earth’s fault it got defiled by the sins of man. And it gives a legal right of the demonic and the demonic principalities because of the sins of man on these regions to bring demonic spiritual warfare on the people, the animals, and the land. 

And what has that bird been dealing with all week? Exhausting herself, fighting for territory, dealing with powers and principalities, fighting for her nest, fighting for her babies. What have we been doing on the ground? We’ve been praying. We’ve been suiting up in our armor of God. We’ve been repenting for the land. We’ve been pouring the blood of Jesus. We’ve been asking Father God to send his angel armies in to take out the demonic powers and principalities and for his angels to take dominion and take the gates back.

And that eagle, Jackie, was brought to Ojai Raptor Center where she is getting care. She’s getting IV fluids. She’s starting to eat, and she’s starting to gain her strength back. They said the bird was so weak that she could barely even lift her wings and walk. That’s how much she was fighting.

Now, I’m here to tell you, my friends, God is speaking here. Now, I don’t know how many of you follow Jackie and Shadow, these birds, these eagles, but this is God. This is God. This isn’t just enjoying nature and what they do. This is God. God is speaking to us about the powers and principalities, the demonic that has been operating in the state of California and how the moms and the dads and, right, and, and we have to keep taking territory for what is right, what is righteous. 

And do you know what the name Jackie means? Jackie comes from Jacob who God gave all the promises, come on, come on, for his children and his children’s children. And then we got Shadow, right? I abide under the shadow of the Almighty. This is directly connected to the powers and principalities that we’ve been dealing with, not just our land, our neighborhoods, our city, cities, but our children, dealing with, with our children.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m a praying mama bear. I know many of you are, and many of you been boots-on-the-ground intercessors, okay? But God is showing us something here, y’all. He is showing us something here. I’m going to share some pictures with you all in a minute. 

Marcela, are you here? 

Now listen to me. We’ve been doing these land prayer assignments, not just all over America, but in Canada. We’re even got down in Mexico now, all over the world. We have over 3,500 completed land prayer assignments, gate assignments, and water assignments, and we are seeing amazing things happen, my friends, because once the blood of Jesus Christ is in the ground it speaks a better word, takes dominion, and those, the angels of the Lord come and kick out those demonic powers and principalities. This is how we take territory for Jesus Christ, and nature itself will be blessed from it. 

Now, that mama bird fought, was fighting her way into exhaustion. Now, now, she’s at the rehab center. She’s getting refreshed, replenished. And the Lord spoke to me and he said, “It’s time for my mama bears to rest in me. You have fought hard.” Listen to the word of the Lord. I’m speaking to the moms who’ve been praying and praying and praying, up all night praying, dealing with demonic powers and principalities attacking our children, our neighborhoods. And the Lord is saying, “It’s time for you to get off the battlefield and rest in me.”

And rest brings restoration, restitution, and acceleration. You see, we can’t continue to fight and fight and fight and fight and fight. We have to come back and do it from a place of rest and say, “Lord, I rest in you. I’m getting filled back up with the Holy Spirit. I know I can partner with you and ask you to send your angel armies in.”

And Saturday, I was at that point and Sunday. I was so exhausted over the weekend, and I didn’t know why I was so exhausted and I was supposed to do a, uh, prophetic update Sunday night but I was just so exhausted. And the Lord just kept telling me, “Rest, rest, rest. You got to get filled back up with my spirit. Rest in me and I will accelerate. I will make up the time.” 

And so I just surrendered everything I was praying about. I surrendered everything I had been fighting. I got off the battlefield, and I just rested in the Lord and I began to feel so refreshed. 

Now, how many of you are just exhausted, and you need some R&R with the Lord and you got to fill back up with the Holy Spirit?

And I was asking the Lord, “How do I do this?” I just feel like I have to be like, you know, this fight or flight thing all the time. I know I’m suited up. I know how powerful my God is, but I don’t want the enemy to get one little slip, you know. Do you feel that way? Especially with your children, your family. Well, let me tell you what he showed me.

Y’all getting in here?

First, let’s put some photos up of Jackie before I go into the next part of this. You’re going to be so encouraged because I got a word for you from the Lord, from scripture. Would you put up, uh, the picture of Jackie, um, at the Ojai Raptor Center?

Jennifer, would you pull that up? And, also, is Marcela here? 

There she is, okay. She’s a little thin. She’s a little weary. She’s a little worn out, but she’s in good hands. The angels of the Lord are with her, and she represents us as moms. Okay? And her husband, Shadow’s, protecting the nest, protecting, and the angels of the Lord have moved into that territory. And now she’s in Ojai where the gates have been taken by the angels of the Lord and the Lord Jesus Christ. God’s got her covered. He’s got her babies covered. He’s got her nest covered. Come on. 

So, there is Jackie. There she is at the Ojai Raptor Center. This is a Facebook photo of her. Go to their page. Donate if you feel inclined. All right. So, it says that she’s doing well. They’re feeding her, um, and she’s getting her strength back.

Okay, very good. And anything else we, we, we also had a, a report from this morning. Jennifer can put that up. We had a report from the Ojai Raptor Center, Big Bear also. Jennifer put that up. You can also, uh, donate to the Ojai Raptor Center as well. 

And eagles, remember, represent our faith in the Bible. They represent our faith, our faith. Jennifer might have that other picture. 

What are y’all saying here? Linda says she’s starting to learn more about praying for the land more than prayer walks. She wants to learn more. Prayer walks are good, but we have to repent and pour the blood of Jesus in the land. The land needs the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ. Linda, I have all the teaching for free, videos, examples, everything. You can get the kits or you can make your own kit. Go to Annamarie Strawhand dot com/land prayer assignment. And depending on where you live, we may have already boots-on-the-ground experienced intercessors there that you can join up. 

Okay, there we go. Psalm 91:11 “He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” That’s the Father. “I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress, my God. In him I will trust.”

The father eagle’s name is Shadow. The mother eagle’s name is Jackie – represents Jacob. Okay, here we go. Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” 

So, here we are, right? And we gotta put our trust in the Lord and get off the battlefield right now, y’all, and get refreshed. Get refreshed. And there it is. Friends of Big Bear Valley Eagles Nest live cam. Okay. 

And, um, I think this is something that you all can do with your children and watch these eagles, and show them how the word of God is lining up with what God is doing with these eagles.

Uh, thank you, Goose. All right, land assign, you. Okay, so you can go to Annamarie Strawhand dot com/land prayer assignments guide and index to get everything you need to do land prayer assignments. It’s very easy to do. You don’t have to do any spiritual warfare. You just show up, you repent, you follow the prayers that we give you, and you pour the communion in the soil. You pour the oil in the soil and God sends his angel armies to, to fight.

Marcella, there she is. Marcella, our boots-on-the-ground intercessor, Mama Bear in Ojai, California. She says, “Hi, Annamarie and Over the Wall crew. Love you all. Raptor Center used to be a women’s prison.” 

Wow. You talk about a divine reversal, divine reversal. And look what the Lord is doing there now. Hallelujah. He is doing good.

Heidi. Hi, Heidi. Heidi of the Sierras. Her nickname for her mom was Mother Eagle and her nickname for he, her was baby eagle. Now you’re a mama eagle. 

Okay. Isn’t this incredible? Isn’t this all incredible? Okay, so, Jennifer, put up the next picture that we have about Jackie’s update, and then I’m going to show you. Okay.

So, update. We’ve been a, uh, friends of Big Bear Valley, uh, Eagle Nest Cam. Look, see how God combined this together. Been in contact with the rehab facility in Ojai this morning. Jackie is stable. They’re waiting on diagnostic results. That could take several days, but they have additional information. They’ll post it there. Jackie is a strong eagle and the community, we as a community will get with, through this. Meanwhile, Shadow is an excellent mate and father. He continues to care for Sandy and Luna, their two eaglets, while protecting the nest and territory. Thank you for your kind words and well wishes for Jackie.

Okay, this all connects to the Bible. Shadow, the father, abide under the shadow of the Almighty, under his wings. Sandy represents the blessings that God promised to Abraham that the blessings will be numerous as sand on the seashore for him and his, uh, descendants. Luna represents the moon that represents the, the calendar of God. The calendar of God moves by the moon. The Hebrew calendar moves by the moon. God gives his signs in the stars, in the moons, and the planets. Incredible.

And then we’ve got Jackie that represents Jacob, the one who is taking territory for the Lord. It’s been given the land. And God says in his word in Psalm 144, “I the Lord proclaim victories for Jacob,” and he is giving Jackie victory after victory after victory. But he’s telling her to get off the battlefield and rest. And this is for all of us. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Now, what happens if you are, you’re, you’re doing too much spiritual warfare and you’re just fighting your into exhaustion and the Lord is saying, “Get off the battlefield. Surrender the battle to me right now. Get filled back up with the Holy Spirit. Get refreshed. Let the Lord fight for you, right? But our faith must stay strong, right? Our faith must stay strong. 

You know, and even Jackie, when I see her picture in the Ojai Raptor Center, she still looks fierce. She still, she still looks like you don’t want to mess with her, right? 

That doesn’t mean if you’re taking time to rest and getting off the battlefield, all right? And you’re just saying, “Lord, I surrender my children to you. I surrender my home. I surrender all this to you. I’m asking your angels to fight for me. I’m asking Jesus to fight for me while I get filled up and refreshed in the Holy Spirit.” Amen? And this is where we are right now.
