ANNAMARIE: This is for Eagle Pass. He’s bringing a word. Thank You, Jesus. Father God. This is for the southern border. This is for Eagle Pass.

“Do you not see? I’m sending My eagles. I’m sending My eagles to the place I have for them. I’ve put them in a high place. They have not grown weary. Does not My Word say that I raise them up as on eagles’ wings?” Yes, Lord. “My eagles are gathering.” 

Yes, Lord. 

He’s saying they have the vision. He’s put in them, He’s put the vision in them. He’s showing me that scripture where the eagles gather. Yes, Lord. Some kind of stronghold has been destroyed off our nation at the borders. He’s saying where the eagles gather, they are picking off the carcass. The gathering at the gate, the vision. He is raising up, up His eagles at this place at the southern border. 

“Why do you not think that the eagle became the symbol for My America? Because it is My vision,” says the Lord, “for this nation since the beginning of time, all the way to her borders. She is My eagle. She has nested in the high places. I, the Lord, am with America, and I have drawn out her borders, and I, the Lord, am at her gates. And My people are the gatekeepers, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against America, My daughter!”

Oooh. [Catches breath]

“This is a time of deliverance for this nation. My people shall shine and arise. The enemy thought he could take the gates of this nation. HA! They belong to me since the beginning of time. America, My beauty, you have the vision for My kingdom. You have the keys to all the gates. My church shall not be held back. My beauty, she arises as on eagles’ wings.”

Oooh.  [Catches breath]

“My beauty, My bride — bold, beautiful, virtuous — taking the gates for ME,” says the Lord. “Pick off the snakes! Pick off the snakes! Pick off the snakes and bring them to the high places. You are suffocating those evil snakes. I have given you, My beauty, My bride, the weapons to destroy a ….” 

[Sound effects] Oh, my goodness, these snakes are so hideous. Oooh. 

“My bride is not afraid. My bride is not afraid. Do you not see,” says the Lord, this nation of America has been founded for Him. She is like a jewel in His hand. She is coming into her destiny, and it’s for His beautiful beautiful bride. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Eagle Pass is a sign of those who are to come up higher. You shall pass through the fire and not be burned. Rivers of living water now. You will see things from a higher perspective. Your clarity and your vision … “My people shall be clearer than ever before. You will go into the face of evil and pick it off. It will not, will not scare you. It will not hinder you. You are taking territory for Me, My beauty, My bride.”

Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Lord. What does this mean, Lord? Does this mean that this nation has come to her, finally come into her purpose for You? [Gasp] OH, MY GOODNESS! Oh, my gosh. He’s reminding me when, when I went to Jamestown in 2016, and I went into that very, very old church, and He told me to come up to the front of the altar. I didn’t know what was going on, and He said to me, “Annamarie, I have an assignment for you. Are you willing to do it?” And I said, “Yes, Lord.” I didn’t know what it was. 

And as I was leaving that church in Jamestown Settlement, and I was coming down the walk back into the museum … There was a very, very old chimney, and everybody was looking up. It was just starting to drizzle rain, very hot steamy day. And there was a huge eagle nest, American Bald Eagle nest at the top of the chimney, and it was starting to rain, and the mother eagle had her wings spread out covering her chicks. She had two baby eagles in the nest, two baby eagles, and everybody was taking pictures and everything. 

I didn’t get a picture because my phone had run out of charge because I had taken so much pictures. And the Lord said to me at that moment, He said, “This assignment is about America.” And now He’s showing me this eagle. Those two baby eagles, I believe, were a sign of who Jesus called up as intercessors, and He had His wings over us. There’s healings in His wings and in His beams … because it was the beginning of when I was called to do the first land prayer assignment at the First Landing Cross here, at the gateway in Cape Henry, Virginia, the eastern gate to this nation. 

The eastern gate to Jerusalem is the golden gate where Jesus Christ comes in and returns in the golden gate. The eastern gate to this nation is the First Landing Cross where I did the first land assignment. Now, after how many years would it be? I did that land assignment in November of 2016, just a week or so, so before President Trump’s inauguration, and He has shown me eagles to confirm every time — eagles. 

But the first eagle I saw at President Trump’s, the day of his inauguration, well, I saw the nest of the two baby eagles, and then I saw a huge male eagle on the beach here, Virginia Beach, just north of where we prayed. And it was the morning of President Trump’s inauguration, and everybody was like, “The eagle landed.” But then I knew it was about those of us who have the vision for this country, but we had to be boots on the ground. The eagle was on the ground. Intercessors.

Now the big vision I’m having for the southern border at the Eagle Pass, the, the eagle is way up high in the air, and he’s picking off, there, these, picking off snakes way up high. You know how an eagle kills a snake? It takes that snake in its claws and brings that snake up so high it suffocates the snake.

So in the beginning of these seven, eight years that we’ve been praying, doing land assignments … I started at the main gate to this nation, the eastern gate, right? That’s the eastern gate of Jerusalem. It’s all so spiritual. Heaven is made like a new Jerusalem, and we, America was founded for the kingdom of Jesus Christ, and that eastern gate here, that was when I saw the eagle on the eagle nest, the babies being hatched, the intercessors being hatched, and then the eagle landed when President Trump was inaugurated, a large male eagle. He was on the ground. We had to be boots on the ground. We had to take, right, we had, we had to take dominion of these places. And now at the southern gate to our nation, called Eagle Pass … This is all prophetic.

And He’s showing me the eagles that are going there, and they’re the ones with the vision for this nation. We went and we prayed. Jesus heard our prayers. Now, the eagles, we didn’t grow weary. We didn’t grow weary. We kept fighting. We kept praying. We kept doing land assignments. Now, the southern gate where Eagle Pass is between Mexico and America, the Lord says He’s meeting us there. 

Remember when He gave me the word, “Meet me at the shore. Meet me at the door”? Hm? Now, He’s showing me the eagles at the gate of Eagle Pass between America and Mexico, He’s there at the gate, but His eagles have rose up. We didn’t grow weary in this time, these last seven, eight years. We didn’t grow weary. It’s that scripture. “Those who wait upon the Lord will rise up as on eagles wings. They will walk and not grow weary. They will not grow faint.”

Now He’s showing me the southern border, but the eagles are above, picking off the snakes off the gate, and Jesus is taking that gate. And we, we, we didn’t grow weary in this time. We didn’t grow weary. We’re rising up, and now we’re not baby eagles anymore, we’re full grown. And this is the reason this is called Eagle Pass. There’s a whole reason. This is Jesus. In the vision, He, He’s shown me the eagles picking off these hideous, writhing snakes at that gate and then bringing them up to a higher place and suffocating them. 

It’s over. It’s over for the demonic. It’s over. It’s done. America’s been redeemed. It’s done. Jesus has taken the gates through us, the intercessors. He called up His eagles. Even when we didn’t know what we were doing, like baby eagles, we just kept going. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. 

And then my assignment was to get as many of you as I could to get you doing these land assignments and repenting for the land. We’re His eagles. We’re suffocating out the enemy and taking the gates, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against us. We couldn’t grow weary in this time. We had to keep praying and pressing in and rising up and praying and pressing in, and He, I mean, I knew He was bringing that word because, I mean, the heat just came on me, the fire of the Holy Spirit came on me. And He’s showing me that Eagle Pass in the southern border, it’s Him, it’s Jesus and the intercessors.

And we’re sending intercessors down there. They know what to do. This is all prophetic for America, my friends. It’s prophetic that America’s symbol is the eagle. It’s all prophetic. It all has meaning, and 3:12, three, three — Father, Son, Holy Spirit — complete. Twelve: perfect government of God. 

Oh, my goodness. I want to thank my team for praying for me on that. I want to thank y’all for praying. This is Jesus doing this.  It’s all Him. It’s all Him.

NOTES

The Lord Gave Me Revelation

When he returns, Heaven comes to earth, and He fully takes over the second heaven where the powers and principalities are. We are called to gather with him. We’ll be “caught up with him,” meaning gathering, “like a hen gathers her chicks.” We are lifted up spiritually above the judgment, and Jesus has those who passed away with him. We don’t go back to Heaven because HE IS BRINGING HEAVEN HERE WITH HIM!

Comparison Of This Revelation With What Jesus Said In The Gospels And Psalm 37

Like the days of Noah – Powers and principalities were removed from the earth (giants, fallen angels, and Nephilim). After the flood, they went to the second heaven! Now Jesus overcame the world, the earth, and the sea and showed us how to bring the Kingdom of God to the earth in these days, giving us the legal right to destroy the principalities with repentance and his blood. When he returns for us — His TRIUMPHANT bride — He will fully overtake the AIR!

Anything in covenant with those principalities will be wiped out because the legal rights have all been removed!

He binds up satan and throws him into the abyss with his fallen angels and we rule and reign with Christ here on the earth for 1000 years of Peace.

The Church of Brotherly Love is established.

The Kingdom is established.

Heaven has come to earth and there are no principalities to stop it.

That’s why we have work to do.

That’s why Jesus said He would ‘GATHER’ US UNDER HIS WINGS like a hen does her chicks.

We don’t leave the planet! We win the planet!

The devil knows this. That’s why the territorial fights. That’s why the distorted rapture doctrine! 

It makes Christians stay focused on waiting to leave the planet instead of taking territory!

Doing Land Assignments has taught us this!

Psalms 37:10

“For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.”

The demonic has a “Place,” a territory to operate!

We overtake it, and the demonic operating there must leave. It has no legal right to stay!

Jesus told us this!

OCCUPY

Military Definition: control and possession of hostile territory that enables an invading nation to establish military government against an enemy or martial law against rebels or insurrectionists in its own territory.

WE ARE ESTABLISHING THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD, THE KINGDOM.

THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS TO TAKE OVER TERRITORY FOR CHRIST.

JESUS COUNTS ON US DOING THIS.

That is why when I was in Heaven with that encounter, I heard the two songs “Scotland the Brave” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” They are both battle victory songs!

In Scotland, when the town hears that song, they know the battalion is returning with a victory. They all run out of their homes and meet the victorious battalion coming over the hills and celebrating.

Tri·um·phant

/trīˈəmf(ə)nt/

adjective

having won a battle or contest; victorious.

“a comic fairy tale about innocence triumphant”

Similar:

victorious

successful

winning

prize-winning

conquering

undefeated

unbeaten

unvanquished

Opposite:

unsuccessful

defeated

losing

feeling or expressing jubilation after having won a victory or mastered a difficulty

Revelation 19:7 

“And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. 7Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. 8She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.…”

The Bridegroom lifts up the bride in the sedan chair when he picks her up for the wedding feast.

The rapture is the gathering up of the people in triumph to have a celebration on the earth that was just FULLY overtaken, including the air, by the saints on the ground taking territory.

These scriptures all confirm each other

The rapture meaning of “lifting up” is actually the overtaking of the air, “powers and principalities of the air,” meaning Jesus and us overcome that together! We meet in victory and are forever with him here on the earth!

Psalms 37:11

“But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”

Matthew 5:5-8

“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. [6] Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. [7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [8] Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”

This means the powers and principalities will be GONE!

Without those ruling principalities, the wicked have lost their legal rights to operate on the earth.

It’s all about us taking territory on the ground. When we do that, the principality in the air over that region is bound and cast out!

It’s so clear to me!

We overtake the air with Jesus!

This is why Jesus said THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST US.

We take the gates of the demonic in all territories.

When we do that on the ground, we know that Father releases his angel armies to take over that legal territory of the air.

We are called the “meek” because we humble ourselves under God!

We are called the righteous because we hunger for it and our hunger WILL BE SATISFIED.

It all makes sense!

WE ARE THE TRIUMPHANT BRIDE!!

This means we have to make a greater push for the Boots On The Ground Intercessors.

I see it all so clearly.

Jesus gave us the Keys to do this!

Jesus asked the Father not to take us out of the world but to preserve us here and protect us from the evil one.

John 17:14-16 

Prayer for the Disciples

“14 …I have given them Your word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.…”

2 Peter 3:8-13 ESV

“8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. 11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13 But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”

Compare 2 Peter 3:8-13 with Obadiah

Obadiah 1:1- 21 NLT

“1 This is the vision that the Sovereign Lord revealed to Obadiah concerning the land of Edom.

Edom’s Judgment Announced

“We have heard a message from the Lord that an ambassador was sent to the nations to say, “Get ready, everyone! Let’s assemble our armies and attack Edom!” 2 The Lord says to Edom, ‘I will cut you down to size among the nations; you will be greatly despised. 3 You have been deceived by your own pride because you live in a rock fortress and make your home high in the mountains. Who can ever reach us way up here?’ you ask boastfully. 4 But even if you soar as high as eagles and build your nest among the stars, I will bring you crashing down,’ says the Lord. 

“5 ‘If thieves came at night and robbed you (what a disaster awaits you!), they would not take everything. Those who harvest grapes always leave a few for the poor. But your enemies will wipe you out completely! 6 Every nook and cranny of Edom will be searched and looted.  Every treasure will be found and taken.

“7 ‘All your allies will turn against you. They will help to chase you from your land. They will promise you peace while plotting to deceive and destroy you. Your trusted friends will set traps for you, and you won’t even know about it. 8 At that time not a single wise person will be left in the whole land of Edom,” says the Lord. For on the mountains of Edom I will destroy everyone who has understanding. 9 The mightiest warriors of Teman will be terrified, and everyone on the mountains of Edom will be cut down in the slaughter.

Reasons for Edom’s Punishment

“10 ‘Because of the violence you did to your close relatives in Israel, you will be filled with shame and destroyed forever. 11 When they were invaded, you stood aloof, refusing to help them. Foreign invaders carried off their wealth and cast lots to divide up Jerusalem, but you acted like one of Israel’s enemies. 12 You should not have gloated when they exiled your relatives to distant lands. You should not have rejoiced when the people of Judah suffered such misfortune. You should not have spoken arrogantly in that terrible time of trouble. 

“13 ‘You should not have plundered the land of Israel when they were suffering such calamity. You should not have gloated over their destruction when they were suffering such calamity. You should not have seized their wealth when they were suffering such calamity. 14 You should not have stood at the crossroads, killing those who tried to escape. You should not have captured the survivors and handed them over in their terrible time of trouble.

Edom Destroyed, Israel Restored

“15 ‘The day is near when I, the Lord, will judge all godless nations! As you have done to Israel,     so it will be done to you. All your evil deeds will fall back on your own heads. 16 Just as you swallowed up my people on my holy mountain, so you and the surrounding nations will swallow the punishment I pour out on you. Yes, all you nations will drink and stagger and disappear from history. 17 “But Jerusalem will become a refuge for those who escape; it will be a holy place. And the people of Israel will come back to reclaim their inheritance. 18 The people of Israel will be a raging fire, and Edom a field of dry stubble. The descendants of Joseph will be a flame roaring across the field, devouring everything. There will be no survivors in Edom. I, the Lord, have spoken!

“19 ‘Then my people living in the Negev will occupy the mountains of Edom. Those living in the foothills of Judah will possess the Philistine plains and take over the fields of Ephraim and Samaria. And the people of Benjamin will occupy the land of Gilead. 20 The exiles of Israel will return to their land and occupy the Phoenician coast as far north as Zarephath. The captives from Jerusalem exiled in the north will return home and resettle the towns of the Negev. 21 Those who have been rescued will go up to Mount Zion in Jerusalem to rule over the mountains of Edom. And the Lord himself will be king!’”

Anointing Prayer To Lift Anxiety And Fear

Anointing Prayer To Lift Anxiety And Fear

If you’re dealing with a lot of anxiety, a lot of fear, things that are triggering you — getting easily offended at your kids or your spouse, etc. — remember that the Lord is your shepherd. He is your peace. He is your Prince of Peace. The Holy Spirit is the one that points us to the peace of Jesus Christ. He is our helper and friend, and He shows us and points us to the Word and gives us strategies to stay in peace and to stay on track moving forward powerfully for the Lord.

I have some tips for you to help you stay in peace and focused on the Lord. If you start to feel some fear or anxiety or feel triggered and offended and have negative thoughts swirling in your head, this is what you do.

Get some anointing oil, put some on the back of your neck and shoulders, and speak the declaration below over yourself. 

Note: See my post on how to anoint yourself and your children, “How to Pray Over and Apply Anointing Oil.” It also tells you about the anointing oils that I use, where I get them, and how to pray over olive oil that you may already have in your home to dedicate it to the Lord as anointing oil. 

Note: When you say, “It is written,” and you’re speaking that in your authority in Jesus Christ, you’re speaking the word of God, which is your sharp two-edged sword against the enemy. You’re speaking it over your body, your soul, your spirit, and the atmosphere.

Declare Out Loud

  • “For it is written, the anointing breaks the yoke. Therefore, in the name of Jesus Christ, I command every yoke of fear, every yoke of anxiety, every yoke of offense to be shattered off me now.” 

Keep going with whatever you want to break off: false responsibility, burdens, lies, etc. — whatever is stressing you out. Break off those yokes in the name of Jesus because the word of God is the will of God. “For it is written, the anointing breaks the yoke.” You’ll feel all of the negative stuff lift off of you.

  • “For I am only yoked to Jesus Christ and his burden is easy and light and joyful and blessed and encouraging, (etc.)


  • “Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Father God. Now, I am dedicated, consecrated, and set apart for Your purposes. I worship You today!”

You can go even further by anointing your head, feet, ears, eyes, or lips. Sometimes, like before a broadcast, I say, “Lord, I anoint my ears. Give me ears to hear You clearly. Give me eyes to see.” I just put a little oil on my finger and touch my eyes and ears lightly. I touch my lips and say, “Give me lips to speak what You want me to speak.” If you’ve got some tightness, anxiety in your throat, anxiety in your heart, or in your spirit, anoint over your heart and say, “Father God, give me a heart to know you. Father God, create in me clean hands and a pure heart.” For more decrees for the heart, see my post, “Decrees For A New Clean Heart – Healed Heart To Know God.” 

Jesus says, “Let not my heart be troubled, for He has overcome the world.” Declarations like this will lift the anxiety, fear, worry, or whatever it is that you’re dealing with off of you. 

Declare and prophesy over your children at night as you anoint their heads and feet. It’s a beautiful thing to help with their sleep. Children love to have their hands and feet anointed before bed.

It’s human nature for people to be drawn into negativity, into the bad report, into the fearful report. That is not what God wants for us. God wants us to keep our eyes on Him, His Word, the finished work of His Son Jesus Christ, and to stay in constant communication with His Holy Spirit. We must stay in peace.

The godly way is faith over fear. You have to choose one. Which one? Are you going to be fearful or faithful?

Declare Out Loud

  • “I will not be fearful. I am faithful because my Father God is faithful.”

This is how you kick the devil in the teeth! This is how you shut down those fearful voices and hear God’s voice, which is truth. The devil’s a liar, and what does he do? He spews fear. What moves God? Faith moves God!
