BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED? JESUS SAYS: BEAR FRUIT WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED? JESUS SAYS: BEAR FRUIT WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED? JESUS SAYS: BEAR FRUIT WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED.
I have come to realize that many of our popular ‘feel good’ sayings that we send on notecards and display on magnets on our refrigerator are not always fully getting us past the temporary message – to long term change for the better. Jesus was all about the fruit. I wondered about this. Why does He talk about fruit in so many parables and what was the repeated point He was trying to give us? Fruit is long term and repeatable, because it holds a seed for the next season and can multiply. Blossoms MUST bear good fruit, and it’s harvest time for us and the Kingdom of God right now.
Jesus inspects our Fruit. In the bible many times people are represented as “trees’. Are you seeing a harvest for your work for the Lord? Many of you say, well I am being still, because God says be still. Understand God works in seasons, and we have to get into the flow of His seasons, and we must sow seeds into the next season, so being “still” is actually listening for instruction on how to take the next step in faith. We take these ‘still time’ conversations with Him and ask Him where He wants you to plant, replant? Because Jesus is very clear He must see FRUIT in us. You cannot stay still for too long, only a season.
In Luke 13:7 Jesus is clear in His teaching about expecting fruit in us:
“So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?”
Jesus then says in Luke 13:9:
“If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.”
Luke 14:35, Jesus brings the point of being fruitful for His kingdom on earth with a warning if we fail to bear fruit for the Kingdom of God in the earth stating:
“It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Understand I teach this to you in Love as Jesus did – let’s focus on how you can bear fruit for the Kingdom of God. – Much Love, Coach Annamarie

HEAVEN ENCOUNTER – JESUS’ HORSE – SON OF THE HARVEST IS PREPARING – 10/15/21

HEAVEN ENCOUNTER – JESUS’ HORSE – SON OF THE HARVEST IS PREPARING – 10/15/21

Transcription of the prophetic word that the Holy Spirit gave to Annamarie Strawhand, which she delivered during her broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane on October 15, 2021.

Watch the video, and then read the transcript below.

 

ANNAMARIE: So good morning, everyone. You’ll notice I have this beautiful painting behind me this morning. This, this painting, um, is very, very special. A prophetic artist did this, um, and it’s quite incredible—the story—uh, and it was sent to me. This, this is, uh, a vision that I saw in Heaven. I had an encounter, uh, in Heaven, uh, when I was in the courts of Heaven praying for my family.

And I, I’ve taught you all how to go into the courts of Heaven, right. I’ve taught you all how to go into the courts of Heaven and how to, uh, come before our Righteous Judge, Almighty God, repent for your family bloodline, uh, and also to, um, go in and, and, and petition our, our Father God, our Righteous Judge, uh, for, uh, you know, our needs. 

And so I was in the courts of Heaven interceding for my family, and, uh, for my, my, my daughter’s future and her future husband and our, my grandchildren and, uh, the nation. I mean, I was, I was in there for many, many hours, and I got very caught up in the Spirit. And I could see in the Spirit, and I could see in the Spirit in the court of Heaven. 

And, uh, while I was interceding for my family and petitioning the Father for my family, an incredible vision happened, and I, I saw the angels of the Lord leading a mighty, HUGE horse, uh, into the court where I was praying in the Spirit. This horse was massive. He was absolutely massive. Uh, and, um, he stood there and looked at me—the horse—like he was communicating with me. 

And, you see, in Heaven, there are animals in Heaven. They, they are, uh, they, they all can communicate. We know that Jesus has a horse, so this is all biblical. 

And, so I wasn’t even thinking about that when I was in there, when I was having this. I was very caught off guard. I was like, “What is this?” And this massive, massive horse, and he came in and stood there, and the angels were holding him, and he turned and looked at me like this, like, “I am the horse of a king.” He had such, this horse had such majesty and such a knowing in his eye. And then in that, in that powerful vision in the Spirit, the angels began to put the regalia on the horse—armor—and the horse began to get armored up, and he began to get all of these streamers on him, and, uh, then I saw the Lord. And I saw the Lord come up—Jesus—and I said, “Lord, what is this? What is this horse?” And he said, “Annamarie, remember you prayed? You asked to see my horse.” And I had totally forgotten that. You see, the Lord doesn’t forget our prayers. He doesn’t forget the questions we’ve asked him. He doesn’t forget them. 

And, um, I was like, “Oh, my goodness, yes, Lord; I did ask to see your horse. I wanted to see your horse. I love horses. I’ve, I’ve, I’ve just had this desire to see your horse.”

And, so, uh, the Lord, he got on his horse, and he was sitting on his horse, and he, he came into this full regalia—just this, as a king would be on his horse ready to go into the field, ready to go into the battle. And it was just the most incredible sight ever. I mean, I just, I’ve had some visions, and I’d have to say that this is the most powerful vision I’ve ever had. And this horse, to capture the majesty of this horse and the massiveness of this horse, and the size of his hooves were just gigantic, and the Lord said to me, “Bentley.” I was like, “Bentley? Bentley!” 

And I remembered I had followed this stallion on Facebook from Windermere Farms. And I love horses, so I like to follow pages on Facebook that are about horses. And there’s a farm in Pennsylvania called Windermere Farms. And this is in the natural. And they have a fi, five—there’s the number five—five-time, uh, World Champion Percheron Stallion, named Bentley. And this horse is, is, got that same massiveness, the same, he, he just, he knows he’s a champion. When he’s in the ring, he just knows he’s a champion. He’s got that, the horse has like an anointing, and I’ve just always loved following this horse. And the Lord said, “Bentley.” I said, “Oh, my goodness, Lord, your, your horse looks just like Bentley except he’s white.” I was like, “This is incredible.” 

On earth as it is in Heaven. The Lord will give us, give us signs in the earth of what is in Heaven, and he will prophesy to us to give us this sign in the earth to show us what is going on in Heaven. 

And then the Lord said to me, “I want you to have an understanding of what the name Bentley means.” He said it’s prophetic, and this is the timing that we are in. And I said, “Okay, Lord.” And I looked up, you know, I was still in the vision, and I was just taking all this in, and I thanked him and I just said, I just said, “Lord Jesus, I thank you for this opportunity to, to actually see your horse.” I was just so honored. I was so grateful. And, you know, he wanted me to prophesy what I saw to all of you to give you encouragement, and, uh, to give you an understanding. 

And when I said, “Lord, your horse is so massive. He’s so strong. He’s so huge.” I was just so, like, you know, he wasn’t like this little, wimpy, I mean, and that’s exactly what the Lord said to me. He said, “Annamarie, did you think I would have a wimpy horse?” I was like, “No, Lord, no.” I mean, I mean, I was like so overwhelmed in the Spirit when he was saying these things to me, and so I just was praising him and thanking him. I took it all in my spirit. I was trying to get a mental picture of this horse because I was like, “How can I draw this horse? How can I draw this vision? How can I, you know, show this, you know, I, I, or explain it?” 

And so, um, after the vision, I wrote it all down. I just wrote, I wrote the date. I wrote what I saw. I wrote what I was in the courts of Heaven praying, how, all of a sudden, this happened, you know, everything. I tried to describe what the horse looked like because I can’t draw. I, I, that’s not my anointing. My anointing is not being an artist. I mean, I, you know, and I was like, “Oh, I,” and then at that moment, I said a little prayer. I said, “Oh, Lord, if you could just send me an artist that could paint your horse and, and capture the essence of that power and majesty of your horse.” And I just said that silent prayer, and then I immediately did what the Lord told me to do—to look up the meaning of the name, Bentley. 

 In Hebrew, the name, Ben, means son, and, in English, the word ley, l-e-y, means fertile meadow or fertile field, like a, a beautiful meadow or a beautiful field, like a field of wheat or a field of, of, of barley, or, you know, like that, that, that meadow, that field, that land that is ready for harvest. 

And the Lord said to me, “Son of the harvest.” I was like, “Oh, my goodness, son of the harvest!” Because we know that Father God is Lord of the harvest. Jesus Christ is Son of the harvest. We are the laborers of the harvest. And the horse that Jesus was on was, he said, “Bentley, Lord of the harvest.” I mean, Son of the harvest … that Jesus Christ, the timing that we’re in right now is the harvest time, the time of the harvest of souls, that the fields are ripe, white with harvest. Like Jesus said, “The fields are ripe with harvest.” And he is coming and riding into the harvest with us, the laborers of the harvest to bring in the souls to Jesus Christ—his harvest of souls. 

And his horse was being prepared. He was on the horse. He was ready, and, um, the, the fact that that horse is so massive and powerful, um, I knew it, it was like a Percheron type horse like Bentley the stallion at, from Windermere Farms. And I said, “Oh, my gosh, the Percheron horses.” 

They were always used and bred for two major things. They were bred to carry the, the soldiers, the knights into battle to be able to carry that heavy armor. They carried kings in, into battle, and they also brought in the harvest, right. They were, they were, they, they pulled the huge, heavy wagons, the huge harvest wagons. I’m like, “Oh, my goodness, the Percherons.” They are draft horses. They were known to be war horses to carry kings and, and knights and soldiers into battle. Their hooves were so massive that they could pound, you; it was like a thunder coming, you know, when you heard those Percheron horses coming—those heavy horses, right? And they were, the ground would be thundering, and their hooves would be so massive it would literally crush the skulls of the enemy. 

And remember, the Lord gave us Psalm 68 last week? He said, “Psalm 68 – O God, arise and scatter your enemies.” That, that he crushes the skulls of his enemies, and I thought about that those humongous hooves, right, and the thundering. And I said, “Of course, Lord, you have this huge, massive horse that has majesty,” and this horse is, is, is not only a war horse that he can carry that king into battle with that heavy armor, but he also is the same type of horse that can bring in the harvest, that can pull that heavy wagon and bring in the harvest. And I’m like, “Son of the harvest.” 

This is where we are. The Lord is giving us his exact timing. He gave me that vision. It was two years ago he gave me that vision. And I wrote it down; I prayed about it. I came into the understanding of the timing that we’re in through that prophetic vision—that we are in the time of the great harvest of souls. And the Lord of the harvest, Father God, has commissioned this timing. Remember, Jesus said only the Father knows the time and the day, right, of these times. And so it, the Lord of the harvest is Father God, right; he’s like the Lord of the land—the, the, the one who owns the land, the owner of the land. And the Son of the harvest who brings in the harvest; he’s like the overseer of the harvest, and we are the laborers of the harvest. And Jesus was getting on his horse, ready to ride, and I was like, “Oh, my goodness.” 

And so, my friends, this is the time we’re in. This is why we’re getting the thundering and the shaking, you know, because the angel armies of the Lord are on their mighty horses. The Lord is on his mighty horse leading into the harvest. We, we have to be those laborers of the harvest right now because the fields are white, uh, for harvest; the fields are ripe.

Now, um, when I started, uh, praying on this, the Lord kept showing me more and more and more confirmation. And this is why the earth is shaking. This is why we’re being awakened because it’s this thundering sound of the Lord coming for the harvest, and we have to be the laborers of the harvest. And I knew the Lord was teaching me something to, to teach me how to prepare, uh, for this and prophesy that to all of you. And this is why the enemy has been fighting us so hard because the great harvest of souls is coming, and it’s been prophesied by prophets even before me, uh, of this century that the great harvest of souls is even here in our lifetime.

So, um, are you going to be a laborer for the Lord? Are you going to ride with Jesus and, uh, be a laborer in the harvest for the Lord and help bring souls into the kingdom of God? And, you know, where the thundering is happening, this shakening is happening, and, uh, it’s exciting. It’s exciting.

So when I began to tell about this vision here on my broadcast, and I began to share it, you know, and I had it all written down and, um, I’m going to do a whole post about it. Um, I had a, a woman who was an artist that was listening to my broadcast, and she was like, “I’m going to paint this horse, and I’m going to do it, uh, in, while in prayer.” And so I didn’t know she was painting this, and she painted it ba, ba, based on my testimony. And, uh, she reached out to my assistant. At the time, uh, Jennifer was helping me, and Jennifer’s back here now as, uh, uh, one of our lead intercessors, but she said, “I want to ship this to Annamarie. Can I have her actual mailing, uh, you know, shipping address. It’s a really huge box.” And so I said, “Yeah, sure; give it to her.” 

And this, I mean, it, when I opened this box, the Spirit of the Lord … and I saw, lifted out this painting, the, the Spirit of the Lord came upon me and into my house so incredibly strong, and I knew this was confirmation of what this ministry is to do, what I am to encourage you all to do, what I am to encourage you all to be laborers in the harvest, to help train you all, to disciple you all to be laborers of the harvest for the Lord. And I just want to cry. I mean, everytime I look at it, I’m just so overwhelmed at the goodness of Jesus Christ and our Father. He’s calling us up our, my friends; he’s calling, he’s commissioning us because the Son of the harvest is here—Bentley, the Lord of the harvest—and his horse is massive. And this artist, she didn’t want her name on it. She didn’t sign the painting. Uh, she called it, uh, God’s Percheron, and she got that prophetically through the Holy Spirit. She got that same look in the eye of that horse—his power, his majesty, “I am the King’s horse.” You know, just, it’s very hard to explain it the way that horse was communicating with me. He knew who he was. The majesty, he knew that he carried the Lord. Uh, he communicated me through the spirit, and the way he looked at me, and it wasn’t arrogant way, that horse, he was, he knew who he was. And she captured that; she captured that in this horse.

So I wanted to share that testimony with you all today, and I want you to be encouraged, very encouraged, my friends, because this is the timing that we’re in. We are in timing of the harvest time, and, not just for America, but for the whole world. America is going to be one of the leaders of bringing in the harvest, um, but all of us—the ecclesia, the, the church, the congregation, the laborers. We are the laborers of the harvest, and we are also the sons and daughters of the harvest with Jesus Christ through Father God, our Lord of the harvest, and we have to get out there into the field that God has called us to, whether it be youth, whether it be women, whether it be, wha, whatever, okay? And we have to be part of bringing in this harvest, and just know the Lord is going before us and his mighty army and his horse that, with his giant hooves is—Psalm 68, right—is scattering the enemy and crushing the enemies’ skulls so that we can go forth and bring in the harvest powerfully for, for Jesus Christ.

And this is the time we’re in, so, if you hear these fearful reports, uh, just don’t let them get into your spirit. This is what needs to be into, in your spirit right now. “Lord Jesus, how can I be part of this great harvest of souls for you? How can I be a laborer in the harvest? How can I be a part of this great awakening to you, Lord Jesus?” Ha, right? And this is what we need to be praying right now. 

Don’t worry about what you’ll wear. Don’t worry about what you’ll eat. Like Jesus said, just go out and spread the good news. Be a good disciple for him, and he will take care of all of your needs. Amen? Because when you are a, a part of the kingdom when you become, uh, a believer in Jesus Christ and he has commissioned you, ordained you to be a laborer in the harvest for him. Don’t you think he’s going to feed you, he’s going to clothe you, he’s going to take care of you, and, um, he’s going to take care of your household and your family and your children? Of course, he’s going to. 

So, you know, do not fear. Do not worry, and just know that, that you are of the kingdom; God is taking care of all of your needs; the great harvest of souls is here; that you are to be a divine laborer. Go forward in what God has called you to do because the Lord Jesus Christ is with us, and he’s riding a mighty horse. And so be encouraged, my friends, okay? 

And, you know, through this ministry, the Lord has commissioned us to come together and speak these things together. Several months ago, the Lord said to us, “I want everyone to come together and command the gates of righteousness to open.” And we had a broadcast, uh, several months ago where we all came together and we prophesied, and we, I told you guys to go outside and speak it and say, “In the name of Jesus, we command the gates of righteousness to open.” And we just had these powerful, just proclamations, and, let me tell you, the Lord wouldn’t tell us for months and months and months to be proclaiming these things by faith, to be speaking these things by faith … Every prophetic word that the Lord has brought through this ministry is, is messages of hope, messages of the harvest, messages of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ going forth like never before, messages of “It’s time to build the kingdom,” messages of “What are you called to do?” It’s time. The enemy is trying to throw the kitchen sink at us. He is trying to do everything he can to discourage us, to cause fear and doubt. Do not allow it in your spirit! This is what’s really happening right now. The great harvest of souls for Jesus Christ. The bridegroom cometh, and we, as the church, as the ecclesia, we’ve got to go out and prepare the bride without spot or wrinkle, right, the church, the ecclesia. And so this is where we are right now, okay?
