The Difference Between Discernment And Judgment

The Difference Between Discernment And Judgment

Watch this excerpt of the broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane on August 16, 2023, where Annamarie Strawhand addressed the following question from a viewer and read the notes that follow.

Question: What is the difference between discernment and judgment?

 

TEACHING NOTES

Judgment is when you judge something and bring a verdict on it.

Discernment is when you bring understanding. 

They are two different things but have sometimes been used as the same. 

Discernment is when you have complete and total understanding and clarity of something. 

You go to the Lord for discernment to have complete understanding, clarity, and revelation.

If you have to judge something, a verdict must come and be carried out, so there’s a big difference between the two!

If you’re going to bring judgment on something, you better make sure you have discernment first. 

If you’re looking at someone and saying they ARE something, then you’re judging them. You’ve come to a verdict about them, and you carry our that verdict by saying, “You better ___.”

Discernment is when you say, “Hmm, I’m discerning and getting clarity on what’s going on with that person, and I’m going to pray for them so they don’t suffer judgment from the Lord.”

We are supposed to judge righteously, and that’s why we MUST have good discernment. 

We have to be careful not to falsely accuse people because when you accuse them it means you’re bringing judgment, and God hates false accusations. 

There are sins that God hates — gossip, slanderous mouth, and false accusations — because they are judgments.

Satan means accuser in Hebrew!

You must have good discernment and seek the Lord first, according to Jeremiah 33:3.

Discernment and judgment must go together!

As Christians, if we are going to judge, we are to judge righteously.

So before judging, we ask for discernment on the matter (Jeremiah 33:3) and wait for the Lord to give us clarity and confirmation that something is evil. Then we can judge righteously on the situation and bring our verdict on the situation, but we must do this with the partnership of THE RIGHTEOUS ONE — JESUS CHRIST.

Steps For Righteous Judgment

  1. Pray for discernment, understanding, and clarity
  2. Get confirmation from the Lord of exactly what’s going on
  3. Then you can judge righteously and come to a verdict on something, and then you can say, “Look, this is what’s going on. I want to judge righteously. I don’t want to falsely accuse them. I’m going to pray that they don’t suffer God’s judgment and that they come to their knees in repentance, a free gift for everyone.”
  4. Make sure all of your sins are repented for and covered in the blood of Jesus Christ, lest you be judged
  5. You can also go into the Courts of Heaven and ask for a judgment from God through the blood of Jesus. 

When you ask for a judgment from God in the Courts of Heaven, it will be carried out on your behalf by the authority of Jesus Christ, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and by the angels of the Lord. God gives you a verdict, and He always judges in your favor if you repent and ask for the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus will always give you a judgment verdict from God in your favor!

When you stand in the gap and repent for somebody, ask Father God to move them from the Courtroom of Judgment to the Throne of Grace and Mercy and for the blood of Jesus Christ to speak for them until He brings them to repentance. 

When you do this, you’re asking for a reprieve for that person. You’re interceding for them because you’re a king and a priest. Priests make intercession for others before God through King Jesus. Kings make commands and carry out decrees. 

If you discern that there are bad influences around your family members or others, you can also pray the Ax of God’s Judgment Prayer to remove them. This is a safe way to pray because you aren’t judging. You are discerning that there are influences that do not bear the good fruits of the Holy Spirit, and you are asking God to remove them. You won’t be judged for judging others. God does the judgment! 

Discernment is the most important thing you can have!

Pray For Protection Of Your DNA

Pray For Protection Of Your DNA

If you want to know what your family bloodline is, go into the Courts of Heaven and ask the Holy Spirit. He’ll reveal it to you. Stay away from these companies that want your DNA samples in return for information about your family ancestry! They are trying to keep your DNA for nefarious purposes, so if you or a family member have already submitted your DNA, pray the prayer below.

Pray Out Loud

  • “Father, in the name of Jesus, I place everywhere where my DNA is in the blood of Jesus Christ. King Jesus, I ask You to go and redeem everywhere my DNA is, and that You be made manifest in it, Lord. I ask that you protect my DNA so that the evil ones cannot use my DNA for nefarious purposes. Thank You, Lord!”

 

Prophetic Word: A Pile Of Burning Tires! Judgment From The Lord! PRAY

Prophetic Word: A Pile Of Burning Tires! Judgment From The Lord! PRAY

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 August 7, 2023.

Watch the video and read the transcript that follows.

 

ANNAMARIE: I smell burning rubber. Ooooh. Whoa! Oh, my gosh, it’s so strong! I don’t think anybody’s burning anything out here. I think I’m getting a, I’m, I’m getting this in the prophetic. Oooh. 

Okay, what is going on here, Lord? Smelling burning rubber really strong in my nostrils, really strong. What is this? Burning rubber — but is it …?

He’s showing me like piles of tires on fire, burning, black smoke. Lord is this, is this, what is this? Thank You, Jesus. He’s saying United Nations. Hmmm. He’s saying United Nations is just going to be going up in smoke; it’s over. He’s not pleased with what they did with Jericho. Jericho, Lord? 

“Who is this United Nations to say that they will make landmarks? I, the Lord, have made the landmarks. It is what I, the Lord, have done in Jericho that shall be remembered and established forever! I, the Lord, am the one that take down the walls, and I can do it with just a feather. It’s easy for Me,” says the Lord! Their banners are burning. Their equipment is up in smoke. It’s over for the United Nations. They’re done. They’re burnt toast. Oh, look, a tire rolled away. It might escape the fire, but no, none!”

The Lord is saying He, oooh, He is not happy about the United Nations and Jeri, what they just did with Jericho. It’s angered Him. They’re going around, the United Nations, and they’re trying to establish their landmarks like, the Lord says they’re trying to put their banner on there, but the Lord says His mark is on those places. It’s what He did there. He’s saying watch what He does with the United Nations. They’re nothing more than a pile of burning tires. It’s over for them. Their banners are useless. Their labels are useless. Ha! He’s saying that UNESCO is called useless-co, useless-co. 

Oh, I mean, the stench of burning tires is very strong. He’s saying pray for Israel that they kick out the United Nations. He’s kicking them out, and any leaders, they must come to the understanding that they must not align with the United Nations, they must not. They must not. 

Oh my gosh, this smell is so strong. Wow! Thank You, Lord. Oh, He, the, He is not happy about allowing United Nations to come in and name places in Israel. Um-um. He’s saying pray for Israel. Whew! Whoa! Pray, pray for Israel.

Father, we ask You that You would release Archangel Michael right now and his mighty army as we pray, Father, that You are revealing this to us right now, to bind up, shackle, arrest, and remove everything with the United Nations out of Israel and anywhere where they try to put their banner. It’ll be swiftly, swiftly, swiftly removed. We know that Archangel Michael is the defender of Israel. We pray this now, Lord. The people’s eyes will be opened. Lord, rebuke the United Nations, UNESCO, useless-co! Thank You, Lord. Father, I’m asking You about New York. Father God, New York, New York, and the United Nations. It’s all going down. It’s over. 

Yuuck, this, this is the smell of burning tires a heap of burning tires, and I see this weak, this weak little banner, like this little flag, and it’s, it’s, it, it’s starting to look like it’s falling over and over and over. And I see these, uh, these tires are trying to roll away, but, no, they can’t get away. 

They must surrender. They must raise their white flag and surrender. UNESCO, United Nations, it’s over. It’s done. Give it up! Put up your flag of surrender. Pray, pray that any, any country that does anything with the United Nations swiftly gets away from it, swiftly now, because, I mean, um, like the days are numbered. And it’s like, uh, the Lord is showing me they’re just a heap of burning tires, and what they did in Jericho, no, the Lord is not happy about it. 

Yes, Jesus. Thank You, Father, [Inaudible], Holy Spirit. HA! They want to try and take over these holy sites and make them their sites, but it will not happen. He said their attempt is weak. There will be nothing more than a pile of burning tires. They said the only banner, He’s saying the only banner they’re going to have is surrender. They’re going to, right now, they must surrender to the Lord. It is deep wickedness, their intention. Deep wickedness! But the Lord sees what He, He sees it all. He sees everything they’re doing, everything they’re doing behind closed doors. 

Okay, the smell, whew, gone down. Okay, we, whew, all right, we have instruction to pray for Israel. We’ve asked Father to send in Archangel Michael and his armies to drive out the United Nations out of Israel and drive the United Nations out of America. And any person that is siding with the United Nations, we ask for grace and mercy, that the Holy Spirit will go to them and bring them to their knees immediately, check their spirit, and they will get out of any covenants that they have with the United Nations swiftly because this is, this is about to a big pile of burning tires. A heap of rubble, yes! 

But it was black smoke with a little weak flag trying to hang on it, a few little tires trying to roll away, but, um-um, it’s, it’s over for the United Nations. And He said UNESCO is, it’s like nothing. It’s nothing. They have nothing. They’re just going to be a, like a big pile of burning tires, just stink, burning, nothing. And anywhere where the United Nations has put their flag will be thrown down. They’ll be thrown down, and they’re going to be putting up a surrender flag. It’s over for them. 

And I, I smelled the stench of burning rubber. At first, I thought, was it like a tire taking off, like because we were just talking earlier about us, you know, accelerating? But, no, He was showing me a heap of burning tires, black smoke, and He said United Nations, and he showed me Jericho. He’s not happy with what they just did in Jericho.

Goose, can you pull up the UNESCO just did in Jericho? What is going on that has the Lord incensed towards that? Whoa! Wow, uhhh, it smells like in my nose. There’s nothing going on outside. My husband’s not even home right now. 

Okay, what do we got here. What is it, the Lord is revealing something major right now. He stopped me in the middle of the mid sentence, and the smell of burning tires went up my nose, and I knew something, He’s showing me something. 

Uh, I’m going to ask my team what’s going on with, that’s got the, the Lord, uh, so incensed with Israel and UNESCO and Jericho, what the Lord is not happy.

It’s not smoke from Canada. I’m all the way down here in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This just, this was just shoved up my nostrils, this intense smell, and it’s, I have a prophetic sense of smell. 

Remember when I was smelling the cow manure? Y’all remember that day? I was in the middle of praying for somebody, and they asked me to pray for, um, what was it? We were, we were praying for the state of Washington when all that was going down in Washington, and I smelled cow manure. Stench went up … and then the Lord said He was going to pour on those chad [sic – CHAZ], those “chads” [sic – CHAZ]  people that were in the streets trying to take over, uh, Seattle, Washington, or that area of Washington. Three weeks later, there was cow manure in the middle of the streets! And then within days, they were gone. 

Now, I, when the Lord puts that smell into my nostrils so suddenly and so pungently, and I, I feel the anointing come on me of the Holy Spirit, I stop, and I wait to see what He’s saying. And He is not happy with the United Nations and UNESCO and what they just did with Jericho. And it has to be stopped, and we have to pray. 

My, me and my team …. They’re what?! They’re giving Jericho to Palestine? Oh! 

Deardria: “Several organizations have warned about the destruction of archeological sites by Palestinians hoping to destroy truth of Jewish history in the land.”

It’s not going to work for them! It’s not going to work. 

UNESCO just voted on Jericho as a Palestinian World Heritage Site. 

Ohhhhhhhh, they just really blew it! They’re done. They’re done. I mean, they’re done. They, they’ve angered the Lord majorly. 

That’s right, Kathleen Warner, “Bye, bye, UNESCO!”

So He’s told us how to pray. We asked Father, in the Name of Jesus, that He would have Archangel Michael put an army together and drive everything having to do with UNESCO and the United Nations out of Israel, and will do it right now, in the name of Jesus, swiftly. And I saw big piles of burning tires and a, a … and all their stuff is going to get burned up. All that, all, it’s over for them, and all you’re going to see from United Nations, UNESCO is a useless, they’re useless, and they’re just going to have flags waving of surrender. It’s over.

Father God is not happy. He is not. He is, this has angered Him, and we have got to pray. Continue to pray for Israel. Drive out these demonic things. 

You know, because I, I just saw something, my husband and I, about a month ago we saw, um, a special. We were watching; it was on YouTube, where they just found, archeologist just found in Jericho one house that was standing in all of Jericho, and they believe that was Rahab’s house.

You see, what’s happening is this proof, all this biblical proof is coming to the surface. I told you that these archeological things, the rocks are speaking and the devil is scared crapless. 

We just had a word last week about the rocks are speaking. The rocks are crying out. They’re bringing forth all of this biblical truth, and just recently in Jericho there was one house discovered that was still intact, and they believe that was Rahab’s house. It was the only house that wasn’t destroyed to rubble. 

So, Father God, we place Jericho in the blood of Jesus. Lord Jesus, we know your feet have been in Jericho. We know you preached in Jericho, Lord. We know that’s where you healed the beggar, Bartimaeus, and You said, “Bartimaeus, what do you want?” And Bartimaeus said, “I want to see.” And You said, “Today, you see.” And we speak, right now, that every person that cannot see the truth when it comes to Israel, their eyes will be opened immediately, immediately, immediately, they shall see the truth, know the truth, walk in the truth, receive the truth, and they will stand for Israel according to Your word, Father God, in Jesus’ name. 

Jericho, Jericho, Jericho belongs to God. It belongs to Israel. The people of Israel plundered Jericho through the power of God. God took down the walls of Jericho, and Jesus Christ went back and visited Jericho and did healing miracles there. 

Lord Jesus, Your feet have been in Jericho. Let Your presence speak in Jericho, Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You, Lord. Jesus Christ is victor over Jericho. The blood of Jesus Christ is speaking over all Israel and speaks a better word. United Nations, UNESCO, bow the knee to the lordship of Jesus Christ — King of kings, Lord of …. [Gasp] Name above all names. Oh, my gosh!!! The Lord just reminded me Joshua was told by God, commanded by God, all those evil, demonic things of Jericho, AI, all those places that Joshua conquered, they had to be burned. They’re burned. AI, after they won the Battle of AI, God told Joshua to take their leaders and pile them at the gates and burn them in front of everybody.

Now, some of you might say that’s very, very harsh; that’s very harsh. Why? And then later on, the Lord told Joshua to take 33 of those kings, those demonic kings, those demonic leaders and put them in a cave and burn them.

This represents the United Nation’s, demonic leaders, Illuminati, Freemasons (because their number’s 33), God’s taking it, all that, all that back. But God told Joshua to burn them. Why? Why? Because they were evil idolaters that were, that were so wicked that their influence and their policies could not be infiltrated back into the Hebrew people, and even towards the end, there were some idolatrous people that pretended to be good, that go, “We’re just going to go along with the Israelites because we don’t want them to kill us,” that infiltrated with them and later on, after they got to the promised land, what happened? Their little idolatry thing started creeping in again. 

That’s like God says, and I remember, like Pastor Chuck Mosley preached this message; it was so good when he preached this message — what God told Joshua to kill them all and to burn all their leaders — and people nowadays might think that’s really harsh, but they were all idolators, right? 

And, uh, now we have Jesus, and they have a, everybody has a chance to repent, but back then, okay? What happened was, if, if God allowed any of them to live, they would infiltrate His people with the idolatry again. And, you know, you couldn’t have that. And so the best message I ever heard preached on that — why God told them to kill them all and, and burn the leaders — because if you have cancer, if you have cancer, right, you want to make sure that it’s all gone, like there’s no bad cells left, no remnant of it whatsoever that could possibly grow back. 

And when Pastor Chuck made that analogy, you want to get rid of all the cancer. You don’t want any of it left. You don’t want any little, any one teeny tiny bad corrupted cell that could possibly latch on and grow back and infect the other cells. It made sense to me. It, it clicked with me. 

Now, I understood why God did that. Now, I’m understanding why we have to have border walls, and we can’t allow these, these other, uh, in, in, influences to come in and infiltrate, right? 

But we also have to remember that we’ve got to share the gospel with these people, and see what happens is the enemy always does a counterfeit, you see? And what, what is, what have they been trying to do with the, the corrupted leaders in Israel? See, Israel has a deep state too, and God’s chosen Netanyahu. He’s like Trump. He’s trying to get rid of all that deep state in Israel. He’s trying to get rid of, of the United Nations. He’s trying to do what Trump’s doing. Netanyahu’s been chosen by God, and we’ve got to pray for him too. 

But the enemy always brings a counterpart, like, “Oh, look at us. We’re the United Nations,” or, “Look at us. We’re the Freemason Brotherhood.” Right? “Oh, we’re, we’re here to come in and do good. We’re here to come in and do good.” That’s a lie from the pit of hell! It’s a python spirit! It’s a lying, twisting spirit, and it’s trying to counter the Gospel of Jesus Christ that really needs to go out into these nations. 

Boy, that word came through from the Lord, and it was, WHOA! We got to pray for Israel. See we got to take this word, and we got to say, “Lord, we agree with Your word, and we’re going to pray.” 

Whew, whoa! Wow! I mean, I smelled that burned tire; went straight up into my nose. I looked up because I thought, “No, there’s nothing going on outside.” I’m in a, I’m in like a, a soundproof booth here. Boy, He showed me that pile of burning tires, and He was …. United Nations, it’s over. It’s over for them. They’re done. They’re done. He is not happy with what they did in Israel. 

So we pray, and we believe that, that this is done by faith, that Father God has dispatched Archangel Michael with his mighty army because Archangel Michael is the defender of Israel, and that the Lion of Judah, right, will arise. The Lion of Judah, arise, Ariel, right? Ariel, arise from the ashes. You see, that is a good fire that must burn in the people’s hearts in Israel for Yahweh, for Yeshua, Jesus. 

We had that word about Ariel, the Lion of God arising from Jerusalem and, and burning for God again. And that’s what we want. We want the, the fire of God burning, and let the fire of God burn up every evil, demonic thing to ashes. Let the fire of God burn up every evil, demonic entity and every evil, demonic stronghold and every demonic altar, and let the fire of God come and burn up every demonic entanglement in the spirit. 

Yes, Lord. Whew! So that prayer we prayed when we, we asked Archangel, Father God to, right, we did pray, and we believe it’s done by faith. We believe it’s being done by faith. You see, we’re told to pray for Israel, to bless Israel, pray for Israel, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem all the time, all the time. Pray for Benjamin Netanyahu. Pray that the angel armies of the Lord, led be Archangel Michael fighting to drive out any, anything of the demonic, anything, and also in our nation, in your nation. 

And when we go and we pray on the land and we do land assignments and the blood of Jesus Christ is speaking from the land, we can enforce the blood of Jesus Christ speaking for the land, and everything must bow the knee to the lordship of Jesus Christ in that region, and we can ask Father God to send more angel armies, more!

And I want y’all to understand something. God has already been showing what He’s taking down and what He’s shaking and what He’s destroying and, uh, He’s already told us what’s going to happen to the wicked in Psalm 37. They’ll just disappear. They’ll just be gone. You’ll look around for them, and you won’t be able to find them. But we should still pray that every person, no matter how wicked — because we have Jesus now — that they will come to repentance and turn to Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness, and God will have mercy on them whether they’re in the United Nations or whatever.

I’m talking about God is going to destroy that organization. He’s going to destroy their influence. As far as the individuals that are in the United Nations, PRAY they come to repentance because the time is getting very short! God is a man of His word. Whoever blesses Israel shall be blessed. Whoever curses Israel shall be cursed. He’s not changed His mind about that. The only hope they have is to turn to Jesus Christ and repent, and He will show them mercy. 

Wow, all right, my friends. That just took a lot out of me. That, whoa! I feel completely, whew, that was, oh, my gosh, this just came on me like, whoa.

All right, my friends, I need to get going. I love you. I bless you. Remember, all of Heaven is cheering you on. All of Heaven is cheering us on. We’re the heroes of the faith now. We must continue to pray. We must continue to watch and pray, and my team will put together that prayer and also this word, and, uh, if you have any questions, you can reach out through my website: annamariestrawhand.com.

And remember Wednesday, I’ll be back Wednesday, uh, to answer your questions and help you, uh, understand a lot of these things that are going on and understand what God is doing in your life, and help you get some revelation from the Holy Spirit so you can get, uh, some clarity on what your purpose is and what you’re called to do for the Lord, and, you know, we can talk more about this Wednesday as well. Okay?

And I’ll be putting more on my social media, and so keep an eye out for that, but, I mean, this is, whoa, I’m like whew. Our God is a mighty God. He’s a mighty God. He’s slow to anger, and He’s merciful, and He’s given these people plenty of chances to repent and turn from their wicked ways and turn to Christ Jesus. Hallelujah. 

We praise You, Father. We worship you, God. We worship You and Your mighty power, Father God. We thank You for Your goodness and Your glory. Father God, we just ask You right now that You would remove all the wicked influences out of our nation of America, out of Israel, and out of all the nations, away from our children, as well, and that Your Holy Spirit will pour out on all flesh like You promised it would, Father, and every man, woman, and child in the earth will fall to their knees in repentance, a free gift, and ask You for forgiveness and confess their sins and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, that You would do this, Father God, also in these days. Your kingdom come, Lord God. Your will be done, Lord God, in the earth as it is in Heaven. Kingdom of, of God, come now. Come now in the earth as it is in Heaven. Accelerate, Lord, Your glory. Pour out Your spirit on all flesh, Father God, like You said You would, even tonight. Oh, thank You, Father. We praise You. We worship You. We worship You, Jesus. 

God bless you, everyone!
