ASKING GOD FOR A SIGN? IS THIS OK OR NOT? (How To Ask The Holy Spirit For Confirmation)

ASKING GOD FOR A SIGN? IS THIS OK OR NOT? (How To Ask The Holy Spirit For Confirmation)

By |

Watch the replay of this excerpt from my live broadcast on 12/21/20 as I answer this question from a viewer: “Is it okay to ask God for a sign?”

(How To Ask The Holy Spirit For Confirmation)

See the instruction in the video, transcription notes and prayers at the end to learn how to ask God for a sign for something that you need guidance on in your life!

The Holy Spirit WANTS to partner with you! It’s okay to ask Him to give you a sign and to show you the steps that He has for you in order to confirm what He has called you to do for the Kingdom. 

ANNAMARIE: [Timestamp – 30:36] Listen, you don’t have to ask to see a whale. You can ask for anything, but don’t make it obvious. Okay? Like if you were to, work at a sandwich shop and you see tomatoes every day, don’t say, “Lord, show me a tomato.” You see tomatoes every day. Let it be something that’s unique, and different, okay? Let it be something that you don’t normally see that only God can bring to you. Okay? Or you can start with the simple thing that me and Jeno started with, a whale. 

That’s how God directs His prophets. He puts them in the belly of a whale. Okay? We know that Jonah was going the wrong way, but God put him in the stomach of a whale to redirect him to the right way, and so I just used whales. That’s what God showed me, you know, but you can, you can whatever between you and the Holy Spirit. Gideon used a fleece.

Now, I go deeper with God on these things. I say, “Lord, show me a number.” Okay? “Show me 55 or show me 555 or show me this scripture today.” 

So, the, the Holy Spirit wants to work with you. He wants to you to write things down. He wants you to journal with Him. He wants to, so that you will have what? A testimony! 

You see, we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. My testimony today is giving God glory and is getting you to connect with the Holy Spirit, work with the Holy Spirit so that you can have the fruit of the Holy Spirit. And what does the fruit of the Holy Spirit do? It gives God glory. Okay?

So, of course, it’s okay to ask for signs. You’re partnering with the Holy Ghost. That’s what you’re meant to do. So if you want to ask for a whale, ask for a whale. 

You see, God wants to move His prophets, teachers, evangelists, intercessors and builders around. We have to go and deliver the word, deliver the message, deliver the prophesy over the land, be boots on the ground, but we got to be willing to go. “Yes, Lord, send me.” And when you’re working with God and He’s sending you places and He’s commissioning you and He’s leading you into your assignment, you have to have these signs. You have to have these confirmations so that you can stay in obedience as well. 

I have learned how to ask for signs and partner with the Holy Spirit and be like Gideon. We’re not using this to trip up Jesus. We should never say, “Lord, give me a sign to prove it.” No, we should never be like that, ever! We do it humbly in partnership with the Holy Spirit, walking with Him, talking with Him in relationship, writing it down. We are the Holy Spirit’s scribe. 

We are to be asking questions of the Holy Spirit and of Jesus like children ask Him a question. That’s why we are said childlike faith. That’s why Jesus bless the little children. Jesus was always chastising the Pharisees because of the way they acted with their uppity ways, but when the children came to Him, they were asking Him questions and wanted to just be near him. And Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is like these little children asking of me, being inquisitive of me, asking these sweet innocent questions like a child would.”

This is the revelation of the Holy Spirit. We’ve got to read the word of God with the revelation of the Holy Spirit. If you read your Bible without the revelation of the Holy Spirit, you’re going to stay confused and you’re going to, you’re not going to be able to get that word in your spirit, and you’re going to be reading it with religious eyes instead of Holy Spirit eyes. And religion is fear and control, but Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and the true Spirit of the living God that is in the words of those pages are prosperity and life and life abundant and freedom and liberty and grace and mercy and partnership and kingdom and glory. 

And this, my friends, is what I encourage you all today and motivate you to do today because all of Heaven is cheering you on in this race, and there are many lets to this race. There are many stations to this race where you’ll be in this race, and you’re going to have to stop and ask for directions of the Holy Spirit each time. And every time you stop and ask directions of the Holy Spirit, He will be faithful to give you those directions. 

And, yes, you can ask Him for a sign for those directions. “But what is my next road sign, Lord? What’s my next road sign so that I can run this race strong and fast and be accelerated so I can have the victory for Jesus Christ.”

And all of Heaven is cheering you on. We are the heroes of the faith now, and God sends us signs in the heavens with the stars and the moon in the sky. That’s why they were put up there. And today is December 21, 2020, where a great sign in the heavens is here for us, the people of God. And we say, “More, God. We receive Your glorious sign today. We receive it into our spirit, and we are ready to be activated and ac, accelerated by this sign in the heavens and by the signs that you put in our lives so the, that the KINGDOM OF GOD can be accelerated in the earth through us, Your ecclesia, Jesus, for Your kingdom and Your glory is forever and ever, in Jesus’ name.” Hallelujah.

So, my friends, I hope you enjoyed this teaching today. I hope it motivated you and it encouraged you. It’s okay to ask for a sign, and I hope and pray that you really seek God’s face. Ask Him to speak to you because He wants to talk to you. He wants to walk with you. He wants to show you His beautiful signs and wonders. He wants to give you direction for your life. He wants you to fulfill your assignment on earth so that great fruit can be produced in your life for you, for your household, for your family, and for the kingdom of God.

And, Father, I just ask of You today, in the name of Jesus, I ask of You today for Your spirit, your Holy Spirit to pour out on all of my friends today in such a way that they’ve never, ever, ever seen before in their lives. That You are showing them signs everywhere they go, and the Holy Spirit, You go and prompt them strongly in their spirit for them to pay attention to these signs that You give them today, Lord, and that it, they receive it into their spirit. And, Father, I just pray for these, these bold signs that You are giving to Your people, that You give to my friends today, and, Father, I’m going to ask for the sign today for all my friends, the sign of a feather, that You show my friends the sign of a feather today that You are with them, that Your angels are with them, and that Your Holy Spirit is with them. Just show them the sign of a feather today, Father. I don’t know how You’re going to show them a feather today. I just know you’re going to show them a feather. Maybe You’re going to show it to them in a drawing. Maybe they’re going to see a feather on the ground. Maybe they’re going to walk into a building and see a painting of a feather. I don’t know how You’re going to show them a feather today, Lord. I just know you’re going to show them a feather because You love them. Your Holy Spirit wants to partner with them. You do want to give us signs, and you want us to ask for them, and I ask You to show each one of my friends today a feather, somehow, some way, like only You can do, Father, as a sign of Your faithfulness of Your Holy Spirit being with us. I ask You this, Father, in Jesus’s name. We receive our feathers today, in the name of Jesus, as a sign of Your faithfulness, Father God, to partner with Your Holy Spirit. Thank You, Lord, and we praise You. Amen, amen, amen and woo hoooo!!

All right, my friends, keep your eye out for a feather, and if you see a feather, let me know. Share it with me, and know that it’s a sign of God’s faithfulness that He loves you, that He’s with you, and that He wants you to ask Him for signs and steps, and He wants to have that partnership with you, with His Holy Spirit so you can fulfill exactly what You’ve been called to do and be accelerated to the, into your destiny for the kingdom and the glory of God. Hallelujah. [Timestamp: 47:45]

Simple How To Ask God For A Sign Prayer: 

Please make it simple. Go to a private place where there are no electronics (computers, phones, etc) that could listen in on what you ask the Holy Spirit, and just ask quietly and faithfully:

“Holy Spirit, my helper, I am asking for a sign like you did for Gideon. I am asking this for myself now. This is my question for you Holy Spirit: _____________________? If the answer is yes, please show me a Whale.  If the answer is no, please show me a Jellyfish. Thank You, Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ name I ask this, and I am in faithful expectation of your help in this matter! Amen.”

You can also pray this way for confirmation in a matter:

“Father God I partner with your Holy Spirit I want to have conversations and confirmations with your Holy Spirit!  I want your Holy Spirit to guide me every step of the way of my divine assignment so I can fulfill it!  I desire to  see the fruit of the Holy Spirit in my life and in others lives so you get the all the glory, God!  Holy Spirit, my helper in Jesus name I’m asking you for a sign today.  My question I need confirmed is: Shall I proceed on this situation OF: ________________ ?  If  this is meant for me to proceed on this matter, Holy Spirit  I’m asking for you to show me the number 555, and show it to me repeatedly for confirmation.  I am faithfully asking to have your grace and confirmation and stamp of approval upon this decision.  I don’t know where you’re going to show me the number 555 I just know you’re going to show me the number 555.  I’m going to be awake and alert and ready to receive your answer and confirmation in Jesus name!  Thank You Holy Spirit!”

How To Ask God For Divine Financial Sponsorship!

How To Ask God For Divine Financial Sponsorship!

By |

Excerpt From Chapter 5 of my book: Faith At Full Speed “Divine Sponsorship”

My Victorious Friend, when you are in complete faith, stand on ALL the promises of God through Jesus Christ (old and new testament) and love what God loves, stay in covenant with God and be careful not to get into any covenant with anything that God despises – you will see the blessings (and divine financial sponsorship) of God come into your life at supersonic speed!

How To Do Kingdom Giving, Banking and Investing – Expecting A Return On Your Investment By Faith!

When giving to the Lord, we have the tithe (our obedient 10%) or an offering (over and above the tithe that is given with the intent of love for the Lord and believing Him in making good on His promise in Malachi 3:10) our first fruits (a first offering to the Lord each year or the first of something new the Lord has done in your life – first paycheck of a new job, first sale of a new book, etc) Then there is a seed offering (where you intentionally give unto the kingdom of God and name the offering as a “seed” that you will be expecting a harvest from. )

When you plant corn you don’t get daisies, right? You expect a corn harvest. It’s all about being specific with your seed. So you write your check, or send it via website, you write what the name of the seed and what the harvest you are expecting by faith. So you have a $25 seed, you say this prayer over your check or transaction:

“Father, Thank you for this $25. I offer this up to you Father and plant this as a seed into your Kingdom and I name this seed “new car”. I believe by faith that this shall produce a harvest for which it is sent according to Your word Father in Isaiah 55:11 that so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.. In Jesus name I receive my new car in faith, Thank you Father, Amen”

You can even name your seed “for the salvation of my loved one _____” or “for the restoration of my marriage” or “for the returning home of my prodigal _________”

YOU CANNOT EXPECT A HARVEST OF BREAKTHROUGHS AND FINANCES IF YOU DON’T PLANT ANY SEEDS

(click here to sow a seed now – name it and we will pray over it and come into agreement with your seed offering into our ministry)

God makes it simple and wants us to understand Kingdom Finance and Giving.  Once your check or offering is decreed by faith into the Kingdom of God, it changes realms and is not under the earth curse system, but God’s unlimited Kingdom, where there is no lack – only abundance.

You also want to make sure the ministries where you “plant” your seed are growing and producing much fruit of the Holy Spirit and advancing the Kingdom of God. You want to sow into “fertile ground”.

You can also decree a 1000 fold return on your seed financially. WHEN YOU GIVE – GIVE WITH FAITH AND SAY: I AM BELIEVING GOD FOR 1000 FOLD RETURN ON MY SEED!! ACCORDING DEUT. 1:11 – “Father I sow this seed of $____ into your Kingdom and decree by faith over this seed that it will be blessed and multiply 1000 fold financial return according to Your promise in Deuteronomy 1:11 for me and my household and the ministry I am sowing it into in Jesus name, Amen!”

There are many teachings out there on Kingdom finances and giving. I have been guided directly by the Holy Spirit on Kingdom giving and I am excited to share this with you because I have received abundantly!  He will never steer you wrong and I want to encourage you to seek Him deeper on your finances too!  I also find it powerful giving your “FIRST FRUITS” to your loving Heavenly Father. First Fruits is a direct gift of love back to God – and it pleases God.  The Holy Spirit has given me a good understanding of how this works and why God set it up this way. It’s all very sacred and all very beautiful when giving to the Father and thinking of Him first.  The best understanding is this wonderful teaching I heard one time, I cannot remember where I heard it but it has stuck with me……

First Fruits Offering Is Like a Box of Chocolates!

“A father has two young sons, he wants to bless them each with a beautiful box of assorted chocolates. He gives each boy their box of chocolates and tells them he loves them and to enjoy. One boy runs to his room and digs eagerly into the box, and quickly eats up all the candy, chocolate all over his face, and is full and satisfied.  The other boy, stays near the father, opens the box of chocolates, thanks the father for the gift, and reaches the opened box  back up to the father, and says; “Father, would you like the first piece?”

Oh, how I love that little story! It fills my heart with the true relationship of how we are to be with our loving Father God! Even when we get great blessings – He wants to share them with us!  This is the First Fruits.  I have found when I do this my relationship with God grows deeper, and more good gifts that come from above to share with Him!

James 1:17, KJV: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

When God brings your DIVINE SPONSORSHIP, bless Him back with the first part of it.  This is a very powerful act, and when you do this with love – you are in the GLORY covering with your finances!  God says to TEST Him in your offerings and watch Him pour out a blessing that you can hardly contain!

Malachi 3:10 “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

Understanding God’s financial laws of sowing and reaping is key to your financial growth and divine sponsorships. Giving to Israel based missions is always important for your expediting finances and blessings and connecting yourself to the promises of Abraham. My ministry directly supports Israel. You should never come to the Altar of the Lord empty handed. You give what you can from the heart. Also understand when you give to a prophetic ministry you are blessed by a “Prophet’s Reward”. When we give to a prophet (like the shunamite woman did for Elisha) you receive major blessings and even miracles. My ministry operates under a prophetic mantle and we have seen so many words come to pass for those the Holy Spirit has spoken through me..  I am so grateful and humbled to operate in this calling and office of the kingdom!  God is TRUE to His word!

You have a choice to give an offering or sow a seed where you want.  God gives us free will, but we must give with the heart. I have learned it’s important to give where you are being fed the most. This is the “fertile ground”.  I also have been instructed many times by the Lord where and how much He wants me to give.  It’s important to step out in obedience – God will always return the blessing swiftly to you for your obedience. Obedience brings quick supernatural breakthrough!

Here is a prayer that I pray over my tithes, seeds and first fruit offerings to the Kingdom:

Tithing Money in the Kingdom – declare: “God is my treasure, God is my prosperity and my source of all my supply! God is my security!”

When you give, give with your heart in the kingdom – give to God  – I acknowledge God as my everything and He prospers me!

Lay your hand on the money, envelope or transaction you are giving to God. Then declare:  I acknowledge God as my prosperity and my source! He prospers me!

“Father, in the name of Jesus, I’m a believer! I believe what YOU say and YOU prosper the work of my hands!

My job, my family, my bank accounts, they are not my source!  You Father God are my source! You Father God are my prosperity!

I am grateful and I choose to worship You today Father God! In Jesus name! Amen!!”

A specific need – pray:

“Father God, your word says in Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Therefore, Father I desire ___________ and I believe I have received it today in Jesus name!  Thank you Father God!”

I am learning about this too as the Holy Spirit reveals – I have reaped much fruit from “Banking and Sowing/Reaping in the Kingdom” and wanting to give to my loving Father who gives so much to me. The key I have found is to use your money for the kingdom as much as possible and if you have to pay into something that is not fully aligned with the kingdom of God, take what you have to pay them and make it a seed unto the Lord for the salvation of the people who own that company you are paying. For example, I met a friend for lunch one day at a mexican place that was known for the fresh dishes. While in the place, I noticed a lot of pagan decor on the walls, such as Aztec sun gods etc. We prayed over our food, enjoyed our meal then when we went to pay we declared the money as a seed for salvation to Jesus Christ for the owners and all who were employed there!   The Kingdom is a lifestyle and when you command your money all day long and what you want it to do in Jesus name – you are at a level of GLORY with your finances – watch what God does for you when you come up to this level!  There is only “Shalem” (wholeness – fullness – life – peace) nothing lacking, nothing missing, nothing broken when you are fully operating in the Kingdom!  Plus it’s fun – every day is a Holy Spirit adventure and miracles are a regular occurrence!

I just love to have all my money flowing in for my needs and then put to use for advancing the Kingdom!  God is faithful to His word and promises, and if you carry these out by faith – you can expect DIVINE SPONSORSHIP for whatever you need and more!
