Prophetic Insight – Loretta Lynn – Proverbs 31 – Your Gift!

Transcription of an excerpt of the word that the Holy Spirit gave to Annamarie Strawhand, which she delivered during her broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane on October 5, 2022.

The full video is below followed by the transcribed excerpt. [Timestamps: Beginning –  29:35]

 

ANNAMARIE: I’ve got something I want to discuss with you this morning. Let me pull this up on my phone. Okay. Okay, I have, I have something very special to share with you all this morning. The Lord’s really was speaking on my, speaking to my heart this morning, uh, for His daughters and His sons and marriage. He was talking about three things to me — His daughters, His sons, and marriage. And we’ve had a lot of prophetic words, particularly the last year since, starting last summer on daughters, and, um, especially this last week. We had a lot of prophetic confirmation about Father God with His heart for His daughters. And, uh, also a lot of confirmation for my, the prophetic word I had about what is coming for America and beyond, that the Proverbs 31 prophecy …

Now, if you’ve got your Bibles, I encourage you to open up to Proverbs 31, okay, because I’m going to be discussing that. I’ll be taking your questions in just a little bit, but this is important that I talk about this today.

So we’ve been getting a lot of confirmation on our Proverbs 31 prophetic word from, not this past summer of 2022, but the summer of 2021. So the Lord spoke to us prophetically about Proverbs 31 is a prophecy from the Father’s heart, and it’s a prophecy for His daughters. And many of you think, “Oh, it’s impossible to be that Proverbs 31 woman. She’s so perfect. She’s so this. Her husband and her children, you know, are so perfect.

But here’s the thing, what God says in Proverbs 31 is a prophecy that we’re supposed to speak over ourselves as daughters and over our, our own daughters and over our sons and our husbands. So it’s a prophecy. It’s a word in the Bible that we must speak as a prophecy over ourselves, over our sons, over our daughters, and over our husbands.

Once the Lord made that clear to me, He connected a dream to me last year, uh, that the Proverbs 31 woman and man and children are coming to pass. It, it’s happening, that this is what we can expect for His daughters, His sons, and the children, that we are going to come into a time now where we are going to fulfill, uh, this Proverbs 31 word. That God’s daughters here in the earth will fulfill this Proverbs 31 word and His sons and your husbands and the marriages and the children.

Now, it’s kind of hard to believe when we’ve seen, uh, so much darkness coming upon our children and so much darkness coming upon marriages and so much strife coming into the homes, but God says, “No, no. It’s time for this Proverbs 31 woman that He prophesies to come forth. 

So we’ve had a lot of prophetic confirmation that that is happening, that He is, has His hand upon His daughters, and the hand, His hand is upon the children, and this prophecy of the Proverbs 31 woman is coming to pass upon us, upon us, upon our marriages and upon our daughters and upon our sons and upon our children. It’s just beautiful. So I encourage you to go back to that Proverbs 31 word (HERE) that I had about what to expect, what’s coming, and it’s just so beautiful. 

Well, yesterday, uh, today is October 5, I believe it was Octo, the evening of October 3-4, as we’re in between, in this in-between season in the Hebrew year, which is, we just had the Feast of Trumpets, right, where the blast is being announced, okay, in the new year, Hebrew new year, a new time, a new season. Okay? And right after the Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah, we came into this new year, Hebrew year, new time, new season because we go with God’s time and seasons, okay? 

And then we had, what? A hurricane. And I had a word about the hurricane about how God is coming in and cleaning things up, and we’re about to have rest on all sides. Come on! 

And then we came right into Yom Kippur. This is the day of Yom Kippur, my friends, Kippur, which is the Day of Atonement where we look around, and it’s time for us to get our lives straightened out. It’s time for us to really come before the Lord and repent and get our households in order. Anywhere where there’s been strife and discord and, uh, you know, unforgiveness and offense and all those things, you know, in your marriage, in your children, in your, in your family, in your household, and even with your neighbors, it’s time for us, right, to really reflect on that and forgive those who have trespassed against you, right, as we will be forgiven, and really, and, uh, bringing the blood of Jesus in to just cleanse and sanctify and, uh, bring things into divine order with God because that’s the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ. Once you repent, you ask for the blood of Jesus. He redeems it and brings it into His divine order with the Father, and so it’s so beautiful.

And now we’re flowing into tabernacles, right, God dwelling with us, dwelling in our homes, dwelling in our households. The time of really inviting the Holy Spirit to partner with you, inviting King Jesus into your life, into your home, into every room in your home, inviting the kingdom, the blessings of God into your home.

So we’re in this season, very strong season, and so yesterday, uh, I believe it was between, the evening of October 3, 2022, and October 4, uh, country music legend singer, Loretta Lynn, passed away. 

Now, I love Loretta Lynn. I loved her, loved her, loved her, and I think this is why I love all things country and all things southern is because of that movie, Coal Miner’s Daughter. I’m telling you, me and my sisters growing up, uh, it, I’m, I’m the oldest of three sisters — me, Annamarie; my middle sister, Leesa; my little sister, Marcia — when that Coal Miner’s Daughter movie came out about the life of Loretta Lynn so wonderfully portrayed by Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones, we would stop everything if that movie was on TV. 

Even to this day, my sisters and I will call or text each other and go, “Coal Miner’s Daughter’s”  on TV, and we will stop everything and watch it. We love that movie so much, okay? We, me and my sisters, we can quote any line from that movie. Okay, I mean, we love it. 

And so, it’s pretty amazing; I do have a personal connection with Loretta Lynn. I’m going to tell you about that in a minute, but Coal Miner’s Daughter, right, we, I, my favorite line, my favorite line in the movie is when she, uh, Doolittle, played by Tommy Lee Jones, and she calls him Doo, and he’s, he wants to build them a house up on a mountain, up on a cabin. He takes her up there in the Jeep, and he was wild, okay. Takes her up there in the Jeep. She gets up there, and he’s got the whole house, you know, laid out where he, you know, he’s got the stakes and the string all laid out. And she’s like, “This isn’t going to work, Doo.” And he’s like, “Oh, well just forget it then, and let’s just go get us one of them divorces.” Right? And she’s, and she said … 

Now, here’s the line from the movie. I just know it by heart. “Doo, I don’t want no stinkin’ divorce. I just want the bedroom in the back of the house because when I wake up in the morning, my eyes, I don’t want the sun in my eyes.” And so Doo growls, like “Grrrrrr,” you know. Which, my husband does a lot of that too. And then she says, “Doo, quit your growling. You sound like an old bear or sumpin’.” I can say that line from that movie, I’m telling you what; I, there’s a whole bunch of other lines that I got memorized from that movie. How about you? Okay.

So when Loretta Lynn passed away, uh, yesterday or the day before. I think, she passed away, she said, they said she passed away, uh, peacefully in her sleep. And we know that her most famous song is “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” That was the name of her biography. That was the name of her movie about her life. And, uh, she was a Christian. She loved the Lord. Later in her life, she got, uh, more deeper into the Lord. I think she was a member of Christ Church, and, uh, she had a, a friend who was in her band that, uh, really led her to the teachings of the Bible.

And, uh, so she, she was definitely a Christian, loved the Lord, raised up in the Lord. I didn’t know how strong her faith was, but she was real. And she wrote songs about life, and that’s what I loved about her, and that’s what I loved about the movie. And, uh, I said to the Lord, “Lord, are you speaking,” when I was in prayer this morning, I said, “Lord, are you speaking about the timing of Loretta Lynn’s passing? Is this giving us a message?” And the Lord said, “Yes, I’m speaking to you about my daughters,” right, coal miner’s daughter. I said, “Lord, You’ve been speaking a lot to us about daughters.”

And so I went into prayer, and I asked the Holy Spirit to really speak to me on this about what He was speaking through Loretta Lynn, through her life, through us and for His daughters and even for His sons and for the husbands, the wives, the marriages, the children. And so here’s prophetically what the Lord was showing me.

Oh, wait. Before I go into this prophetic part, I have a personal, personal connection, uh, with Loretta Lynn. I lived in a, a, for awhile, uh, when I was working in, in, in motorsports, I lived in a little town in central Ohio for about eight years, uh, called Richwood, Ohio, Richwood, Ohio, and it’s just north of Marion, Ohio, and just west of Columbus, Ohio. It’s just a little, itty bitty town. 

And I was, um, dating this guy. He was a race car driver. His name is Gene Lee Gibson. And, uh, we were together for eight years. He was a professional race car driver working his way up to Indy car racing, into NASCAR, and I was with him for eight years, and we owned a race team together. We did a lot of you, USAC racing, and, uh, I was really part of his family, and I love them dearly. And even though our relationship didn’t work out, uh, uh, I bless them. I bless them. 

Well, my years when I was in Richwood, Ohio, right after Gene and I broke up, I was staying with his cousin, uh, before I headed back home to Syracuse, New York, because I was still working at the high school there. I was, I was, uh, teaching, uh, coaching cheerleading part-time, and, uh, working at the high school cafeteria and also working on the race team. And we had broke up, and I was staying with his cousin. Her name was Judy, and she lived in this huge Victorian house where, right there on the main road, uh, in Union County there in Richwood, Ohio. 

And she says, “Annamarie, I’m going to put you in this bedroom.” She says, “Loretta Lynn, this is Loretta Lynn’s bedroom.” I said, “It’s Loretta Lynn’s bedroom?” She says, “Yes.” Her lead guitarist, uh, I think his name was Rick Ballinger [sic]. Loretta Lynn’s lead guitarist’s name was Rick Ballinger [sic], and he was from Richwood, Ohio, and he actually played in the movie. Rick Ballinger [sic] actually played in the movie Coal Miner’s Daughter. He’s in the very last scene, and he announces, uh, Sissy Spacek to come up, and he says, “Make way for the Queen of Country Music, Miss Loretta Lynn. And that’s Rick Ballinger [sic]. He’s actually saying it in the movie. (Correction: the correct name of Loretta Lynn’s guitar player is Don Ballinger.)

Well, that was, that was his house at one time, that big Victorian home, and when they would come through Ohio, or they were on the road or whatever, she would come through Richmond, Ohio, with her big bus — the Loretta Lynn bus. It would be parked in, uh, right there in front of that house, and that was the bedroom that she would stay in. Isn’t that something? 

So I don’t know if I got some of that anointing. I don’t know, but I stayed in that same room that Loretta Lynn stayed in at the Ballinger’s house, her lead guitarist. And so I thought that was pretty cool. And that was always my favorite movie.

But, so anyway, this morning, this is what the Lord was speaking to me about Loretta Lynn. He’s talking about His daughters right now, and He pointed me back to Proverbs 31, and He said, “Coal miner’s daughter.” I said, “Yes, she was a coal miner’s daughter. She wrote about it. She wrote about her daddy. She wrote about living in poverty, but, but having the blessings.” And He said, “Annamarie,” he said, “If My daughters …” Now here is the prophetic word. Please listen to me. He said, “If My daughters will use their gifts faithfully, that is what will pull them out of poverty.” I said, “Lord, if Your daughters …” 

This is the prophetic word of the Holy Spirit. Listen to me, please! This is a very, very important word. Hear the word of the Lord. The Lord said to me very strongly this morning. He was pointing to Loretta Lynn. He pointed to her song, “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” and He said to me, “Annamarie, if My daughters would use their gifts faithfully, it will pull them out of poverty!” 

I was undone when He said that to me. I was, I was like, “What?!” And I thought, “Of course! Of course!” It’s the Proverbs 31 promise. It was the wife, the daughter who used her gifts and used her gifts faithfully, stayed up late at night using her gifts and put, brought them out, right, to the world, and God blessed the work of her hands, and her husband called her blessed. Her children called her blessed. She was honored. He was honored. 

I said, “So you’re telling me, Father God, through the life of Loretta Lynn and this story of her life and this song, “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” is about a Proverbs 31 woman?” And He is speaking to His daughters right now, and He’s saying, “If you, My daughter, will use the gift that I’ve given you faithfully, it will pull you out of poverty.” 

And then He said to me, “Not just YOU out of poverty, your whole entire family.” What?! What?! And I was like, “Of course, Lord!” Loretta Lynn used her gift faithfully that you did, gave her — singing and songwriting. You put the right husband with her to support her. He wasn’t supportive at first. They had a very, very rough marriage, very rough marriage, but he recognized the gift in her, and it changed both of them. It changed both of their life.

And let me tell you something, Loretta Lynn not only pulled her and her husband and her children out of poverty, she pulled her whole family out of poverty. Her whole family worked for her. Her brother was her bus driver. Her maiden name was Webb — W e e, W e b b. So if you look at, uh, a lot of people that worked for Loretta Lynn, their last name was Webb, and her mama and daddy had a lot of children. They had a lot of children. She had a lot of children. Her, her sister, Crystal Gayle, her sister is Crystal Gayle. You know that, Crystal Gayle? [Singing] Don’t it turn my brown eyes blue. [Speaking again] She had real, real, real long hair. That’s Loretta Lynn’s sister. 

They, her and, and her husband, Mooney Lynn, who she called Doo, he believed in her. Why? Because she used her gift faithfully, and he started promoting her. And he believed in her, and her children called her blessed. She couldn’t even record her first song. She was so shy to record her first song and so nervous that they brought her children into the studio with her, so she could sing to her children. She stayed so real, I mean, she didn’t get corrupted by the evil system. She didn’t get corrupted by the evil system. She stayed true to her roots. 

And God is speaking to the Proverbs 31 women, that we stay true to our roots, right? Stay rooted in God. Stay rooted in righteousness. Stay rooted in those small-town, country values and those, those family values and the, and the values of the Bible because there’s a quote from Loretta Lynn. She said, “For all your life’s problems, go to the Bible,” and she also sang gospel, and I shared a gospel song that she shared, that, that I shared last night, “Peace in the Valley,” right?

She was from Butcher Holler. Uh, I mean, and you see, the Holy Spirit was using Loretta Lynn and her story to speak to His daughters all these years. And let me tell you something, she had a lot of babies. She had a lot of children. And somebody said, “Well, she made a song about the pill,” like, you know, birth control pill, “so she must’ve been a feminist.” But no, she wasn’t. She was not a feminist. She was pro-life. She was pro-life. 

She, Loretta Lynn is proof that you can be a good wife and a, a good mother of many children and still use your gifts and have a great career. See these women that are feminists, they say, “Oh, you can’t, you shouldn’t have babies to have a great career. You, you should have abortions if you want to have a great career.” That is a lie from the pit of hell!! God is showing us what His true ja, daughters are. 

Loretta Lynn, I think she had seven children, and the reason she made that song about the pill was because her and Doo were having an argument one day. I went and found out why she wrote that song. Every song she wrote was about her life. 

She said her and Doo were having an argument one day, and he was out drinking at the bars and letting women hang all over him and stuff like that early in, in their, their marriage. And this was about the time that the pill was first, birth control pills was first coming out, and, you know, he’d come home and keep getting her pregnant. Well, she loved her children. She did right by her children, right, and it was an argument they had one night where she said, “Doo, if you, you keep going out there drinking and running around, I’m going to get on that pill, and I’m going to go out and run around.”

She, she, it was a, a, a argument between the two of them. It wasn’t trying to tell women to get on, it was, it was a argument between two married people. And when I realized that, and see the feminists, they grabbed ahold of that, and they were like, “Oh, yeah, go on the pill. Don’t have babies.” But that is not the intention of Loretta Lynn’s song. Loretta Lynn’s song was like, “Doo, if you don’t stop your running around and you don’t quit it, right, then I’m going to get on one of them birth control pills. I’m going to go run around.” It was just an argument that they had one night, and she turned it into a song. She turned every argument they had into a song. [Singing] Don’t go home, don’t come home a drinkin’ with loving on your mind. [Speaking again] I mean, you know, he, she took everything that happened in their marriage and turned it into a song. Okay. That’s how real she was. 

But it’s a lesson for all of us that Loretta Lynn, even though the pill was available, she didn’t use it. Right? She had all these children and even when her career took off, she had two more babies — twins. And then her husband, he stopped all that stuff, and he stayed home and raised their twin girls. He came by her side. Why? Because Loretta used her gift faithfully, and when she used her gift faithfully, it changed her whole family.

Listen to me! Listen to me! God is teaching us something here. When the daughter, the woman of the house — Proverbs 31 — when she uses her gift faithfully to bless others, it will shift everything in your household. Your children will call you blessed. Your husband will be honored, and he will honor you. 

Listen to me. A wise woman builds up her house. Right? Listen to me. Loretta Lynn is a Proverbs 31 woman. She’s a daughter. God is showing us. She used her gift faithfully to lift herself and her entire family out of poverty, and when she did that, she became a Proverbs 31 woman according to the word of God. And her husband began to honor her, and her children called her blessed. And the rest of her family, her brothers, her sisters, her cousins were all blessed by it. And we, as fans, were all blessed by it. 

She may have wro, wrote a song about the pill, but she didn’t use it. She had two more babies. She was pro-life, and she was proof that you can have many children and still use your gift faithfully, and God will bless it. 

And it’s interesting because her and her husband bought a plantation in east Tennessee, called Hurricane Hills [sic]. (Correction: Hurrican Mills) Hurricane? Didn’t we just have a hurricane? Didn’t, uh, uh, she pass away at the tail end of this hurricane? And it was a, uh, uh, a horse ranch, and her husband, right? She, not only did she pull them out of poverty, right, but it was, it, it made life easier for them because of the finances that were coming in, and because of the finances that were coming in from what? Using her gift faithfully. Her husband was blessed. Her children was blessed, and he didn’t, he didn’t want to go out drinking. He didn’t want to go out running around. He was happy to be home with the family. It shifted everything. It changed everything.

You see, some of us are going, “Well, if we just win the lottery it would save my marriage. It would save my family. If we just …” No, God is saying, “You want to save your family? You want to see a change in your household, and you still want to have many children and even go and buy land?” Proverbs 31 says she used her gifts, right, even into the night. She had no fear of the future, and she even considereth a field and buyeth is. Loretta Lynn bought land. She bought land, and she blessed her husband with it.

You see, listen to me. God is showing us something with Loretta Lynn. We, as women, as daughters, must use our gifts faithfully, whatever gift that God has given us, to pull us out of poverty to bless our whole family, to bless our husbands, to bless our childrens, children. We will buy land. It’s okay to have many children and still have a career and to stay real. Stay real. Stay rooted in, in, in, um, who you are, and go to the Bible for your answers. It’s what Loretta Lynn said.

And let me tell you something. She won award after award after award, and she still stayed humble. That’s the key, my friends, and she stayed by her husband’s side even through the worst of it, and she was rewarded. She was rewarded for sticking with her husband all those years and honoring marriage, and then when she used her gift faithfully, she was honored.

Here is the word of the Lord for all of the daughters out there. This is what Father is saying to you right now, my friends. Listen to me. Use your gift faithfully, and you will pull yourself and your family out of poverty and bless your whole family. Do not give up on your husbands. Do not give up on your children. You can have a beautiful career using your gift, and build up your house, and have as many children as you want. And God will bring helpers, and he will work on your husband to help you because there’s a reason you’re married to that person. It didn’t start out great for Loretta, but she stayed faithful to the marriage and God used that. 

So if you’re struggling with your husband right now, you’re struggling with your kids, you’re struggling with your marriage, maybe you’re feeling resentful because you’re home and you didn’t get a chance to be what your dreams are, that is a pitiful excuse. Now, quit your whining; put on your big girl pants, and go before the Lord, and say, “I am a Proverbs 31 woman, Father God. That’s who You say I am, Father, and I want to be her! And I invite the Holy Spirit to train me up to be her. My children shall call me blessed. My husband shall honor me, and he shall be honored. Use my gift, Father God to bless my household. Here I am, Lord, use it. It’s not impossible to be that Proverbs 31 woman because that’s who You said I am, Father, and I want to be her.” [Timestamp: 29:35]
