ANNAMARIE: In the name of Jesus, every single thing that the enemy, that the devil stole from you and your family bloodline and your household going back generations—going all the way the way back to Adam and Eve—that Father will dispatch his angels for you and your household and your family bloodline right now, go into the enemy’s camp, plunder his camp, retrieve every single thing that has ever been stolen from you, ever, that’s ever been stolen from your ancestors, put it on the camels of the Lord and bring it to you right now in the name of Jesus.
I’m seeing a cactus, and this cactus has roses all over it. Cactus rose? Rose of cactus? Okay, Lord. All right, the Lord, the Lord is giving me a, a prophetic vision, very strong, very strong prophetic vision. Cactus rose.
Is there somebody known as Cactus Rose or somebody here? Cactus rose, what is this, Lord? Cactus rose. Cactus rose. Cactus rose. He’s showing me a cactus, a cactus, cactus with roses all over it.
He’s showing me that camel that someone gave me a long time ago that I named Rosie. I need to get her out of her box. You guys remember Rosie? Someone sent me a camel, and she was all dressed up in gold jewels, and she had a rose on top of her head. I’ll have to go get her. I’ve got her stored away. I’ve got to glue, her little box of gifts was coming unglued. I have to gl, glue her.
Cactus rose. The camel named Rose. Is this a word? Is this a word? I keep seeing this cactus with roses all over it and that little, that camel, that stuffed camel with the gifts all over her, the jewels, and the rose on her head.
He’s saying, “Adorn, adorn, adorn. I will adorn. Adorn. I will adorn thee. I will adorn thee. I will adorn thee. I will adorn thee. I will adorn thee with roses. I will adorn thee. I will adorn thee.” He’s showing me that scripture, I will adorn thee like a bride. I will adorn thee. He’s saying he will, he will adorn those with his love who even feel like they’re not deserving of his love. He’s saying, he’s saying you are, you are all, he did it for all. He did it for every single one of you, even those who are prickly, even those who are prickly, even those who are, feel like they’re not deserving of his love. He’s saying, “I did it for you too.” I, I, I’m, I’m, he’s pouring out his love. He’s adorning you. He’s saying many of you have felt like you’ve been in a desert for a long time. Many of you feel like you’re like a cactus. You know, you’re just, you’re just thirsting, and you feel so like you’ve just been baked in the hot sun, and you feel like you’ve been going through a desert. But he’s saying, “Do not fear. Help is on the way, and I’ve adorned you with my love. Help is on the way. Help is on the way. Help is on the way—his help.
It’s just starting to snow again. I don’t know if this is a word, I, I believe this is a word corporately right now that there are people that are, have been giving up hope. There are people that feel like abandoned, like God’s not going to do anything, like he’s not there, but he’s showing me a cactus in the desert adorned with roses and that camel, that beautiful little camel adorned with jewels and a rose on her head. And he’s saying, “Even in the desert time, I’ve adorned you. I’m there. I’m, I’m pouring it out to you. I’m providing for you. I’m blessing you. Do not fear; help is on the way.”
He’s right, he’s right here. He’s, he’s right here. He’s bringing help. He’s bringing help to his people, and there’s going to be some that are feeling they’re in desperation right now, like they’ve been walking through the desert. [Sighing] But he’s saying don’t feel like that. He’s saying he’s looking at you. He sees you. He’s pouring the rivers of living water on you. He’s adorning you with gifts and roses, and help is on the way, like this dry season was just for a short time, but he sees us. He’s with us.
Wow. This is very encouraging because I know a lot of people are, are feeling like this right now. They feel depleted. They feel like that cactus in the desert. They feel like that, you know, I’m seeing like, you know, the, the guy in the desert, you know, with, he’s got no horse, and he’s like, [Sigh], you know, and he’s looking for a mara, whatever you call it. He’s looking for water, and he’s like … And Jesus is saying no. Do not feel that way. He’s with you. He’s, he’s, he’s pouring it out to you. He’s pouring out his love, his provision, his living water. He’s sending you these camels adorned with gifts and everything you need. He’s, he’s covering you with his rose blossoms.
This is what he’s saying to me, “Even the cactuses shall rejoice and worship me.” That’s what he just said. Even the cactuses in the desert shall rejoice and worship him. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. This dry season is ending. This dry season is ending, and those who feel depleted in spirit, he’s saying do not feel depleted in spirit. He’s saying raise up your hands and receive his living waters. Raise up your hands and receive him to bloom. He’s pouring his roses on you, and the camels …
And you know that camel … I know why he’s showing me that camel, Rosie. That camel was sent to me by a woman in Canada who went to a prophetic meeting. I think it was back in 2012. She had that camel from 2012, and she sent it to me. And she said, “Annamarie, I got this camel back in 2012,” from a, a proph, a meeting she went to, a prophetic meeting where they were prophesying, “Your camels are coming.” And that was one of the camels that she got, and she sent it to me and was imparting that onto me because I had started doing my camel day broadcasts.
And this camel had, she had, she’s, I still got her. I got to get her out of the box, but she’s got all kinds of gold on her, roses. She’s so pretty. I named her Rosie, and I used her so much in the camel day that her little presents were opening up. But there’s something prophetic, in other words, the camels are here, and the Lord is pouring out to us.
I’m telling you, we’re going to see the love of the Father and the love of the Lord Jesus Christ poured out onto us in such a way like we’ve never seen before, and I believe it’s happening quickly. I believe it’s happening quickly.
Oh, my goodness, I feel his heart. Wow. “Your Camels are Coming” prophecy has been since 2012. The outpouring, the blessing of the Lord, the, you know, all that has been coming since 2012.
I’m telling you, I think the heavens are, I think the heavens are open right now. I think they’re opening up and about to pour out in such a way like we’ve never seen before, and the love of the Lord … There’s going to be a refreshing of the, of the Holy Spirit upon God’s people like we’ve never seen before—the heart of God, the glory, provision, and even restitution. The camels … because the Lord told me to pray. He said when you pray that your camels are coming, pray that the angels of the Lord are also gathering up everything that was stolen from you in the enemy’s camp and putting it on the camels and bringing it to you.
I’m going to prophesy that right now, that, in the name of Jesus, every single thing that the enemy, that the devil stole from you and your family bloodline and your household going back generations, going all the way back to Adam and Eve, that Father will dispatch his angels for you and your household and your family bloodline right now, go into the enemy’s camp, plunder his camp, retrieve every single thing that has ever been stolen from you, ever, that’s ever been stolen from your ancestors, put it on the camels of the Lord and bring it to you right now, in the name of Jesus—complete restoration, complete restitution, oh [Sigh], in the name of Jesus. Receive it right now in the name of Jesus. Receive it.
Oh, my goodness, this outpouring is going to be financial restitution, restitution of things that have been lost in your families and in your bloodline, prodigals coming home, time redeemed—lost time. Oh, my gosh.
He’s saying, “Joshua tree. Joshua tree. Joshua tree. Joshua tree.” Joshua trees grow in the desert. I’ve seen them before. They’re a very unique tree. Joshua tree. Joshua tree. It grows with the cactuses. Joshua took the plunder! Of course. Joshua took the plunder for God’s people.
We’re here. We’re here. Oh, my goodness, even those who have felt like cactuses, and, you know, those who have been completely de, depleted and felt like they were going to, about to give up on God will be fully restored, and they’ll be raising up their hands to God and giving him praise when they see what God does. I’m telling you, this is, I’m, this is, all of this is all coming and coming very swiftly, and not just to America. I believe this is going to be across the nations. Thank you, Holy Spirit.
He’s saying pray this way. He’s saying pray. Saying pray for complete restoration, restitution, redeeming of the time that was lost and for, you know, you, for you and your household and your family and your bloodline. He said go boldly to him and ask for it. Ask for his angels to be dispatched to go and get that, and plunder the enemy’s camp. He’s saying angels are what, are ready to be dispatched to go and get it. He’s saying, “Ask for it. Ask for it. Ask for it. Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock, and the door shall be opened for you. Ask boldly.” He said don’t be afraid to ask for the lost time to be redeemed. Like if, if you, if you had illness, you know, if the enemy brought illness, um, and, and you weren’t able to take vacations and do things for your family, things like that, he’s saying even that, ask for that to be restored to you. Yes, Lord. He’s saying nothing’s too big or nothing’s too small to ask. The Lord is saying him and the Father are so excited to be able to do this. They’ve been waiting for this moment to pour out. Wow. Wow.
It’s been prophesied for a long time. He’s showing me it’s been prophesied for a long time, but we’re coming into that time where it’s going to manifest in the earth—the blessings, the outpouring of the Lord, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the outpouring of the gifts of God, the camels of the Lord coming and bringing restoration, restitution, the gifts of the Lord. The timing is now.
Thank you for that little, that little camel, Rosie. I’m going to have to get her out. She’s a, I got to, I got to go, I was going to fix her all up and, uh, I have a shelf that has to go up behind here and put, put her up here, you know. Because if I, if I handle her a lot, her little presents, but now her, now I know why because he’s showing me that her presents, the camel is here. Her presents are about to open up and it’s about to be poured out on us. And even those who have felt totally depleted, about to give up, you know, it’s going to, all that blessing’s going to pour on them, and they’re, they’re going to immediately have the strength to raise up and praise God.
The outpouring of this glory upon God’s people, it’s going to be, it, it’s going to be amazing. And I can feel the excitement of the angels, Father, and Son for this time, and this is going to go forth. And I believe why all this is happening, like, why now? Why not in 2012? I don’t think we were ready. I think if we had gotten it back then, it would have been squandered, and there would have been too much corruption still, but now the timing is right and people are understanding God’s plans and purposes and what he wants them to do with these blessings for the kingdom. And so many people have been called up to build or to do something for the kingdom and they’ve been, they’ve been praying for these finances and so now’s the time. I’m understanding why now didn’t it happen back then and why now.
My friends, we are, I’m just in awe of God right now and what he just showed me, and I am just so grateful. And I receive all these blessings of God upon me and my household, and I ask you to receive all these blessings of God upon you and your household. And show God what you want to do with it for him and for his glory. And do you want to go to Israel and go to the places where Jesus walked? Do you want to start a mission? Do you want to start a business that glorifies God? Do you want to like, you know the home churches we had here today and youth ministries and revival tents and [Sigh] …
Oh, my goodness, this is wonderful. I feel the pleasure of the Lord on this so strong. And, you know, I almost wore my other scarf today, and I saw this in the closet. I’m like, “I need to wear my, my roses today for Jesus.” You’re so wonderful, Lord.
That was incredibly powerful. So beautiful. Thank you, God. Thank you. Thank you, Father, for never forsaking us and never leaving us. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for hearing our prayers. We receive you, Jesus. We receive you, Father God. We receive this beautiful gift that you want to do. We receive it, Lord. Thank you, God. And we will be obedient with it. Holy Spirit, help us. We receive it. We receive it, Father.
PROPHETIC WORD: RISE OF THE ARIZONA ESTHERS! THE EAGLE ANOINTING ON SENATOR WENDY ROGERS
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 12/8/21.
Watch the video, and then read the transcript below.
ANNAMARIE: All right, the Lord is speaking about Arizona. He’s saying his people are the streams of living water in Arizona. He’s saying, “Do you not perceive it, Arizona? Do you not perceive that I’m doing a new thing? Do you not see? Do you not perceive it? Streams in the desert. Your deserts are blooming, Arizona, and it’s your people. It’s the people of Arizona that are rising up. Do you not perceive it? Do you not see that the desert flowers are blooming. The woman, the woman of the mountains of Arizona, she’s my eagle. She comes from the mountaintop.”
Ooph. He’s showing me that senator from Arizona, Wendy. He said there’s no mistake, that she was in the Air Force, that she was a great … He’s, he’s her eagle. “She’s my eagle! I brought her to the high places. She’s my overseer in Arizona. She lives on a mountain. She’s my overseer. She’s my eagle. I’ve given her the vision, the eagle eye. She’s bold and brave. She’s going to strengthen the backbones of others.”
Like he just said, she’s one that he’s raised up for this time in Arizona. He said watch what he does through her and other desert blooms, he’s calling them. He’s saying that Wendy is the eagle. He’s put her up on a mountain, that she’s strengthening the backbone of other women, and these are his desert blooms. He’s got women, he’s, women, he’s raising up women in Arizona. He’s pouring rivers of living water into them. Strong women, he says these are my desert blooms in Arizona. WATCH what he does in Arizona! The women are going to water, pour the water over Arizona. He says, “Watch for the strong women that I raise up in Arizona for this time.”
This Wendy who is a senator, he’s put her on the mountain for a reason. She was Air Force. I think Air Force. I don’t know, sh, but he says she’s an eagle. It’s no mistake that he’s always had her in high places because she has a eagle eye. She’s got the eagle anointing. She sees the vision. She sees the vision for Arizona. She sees it, and she goes and helps other eagles raise up. And these desert blooms are going to come, and these wells of living water are going to raise up in Arizona like never before.
Yes, Lord. He’s saying those that want to speak against Arizona and curse it and mock it, he says, “Why do you think the enemy’s come against Arizona?” He says because it’s, it’s his bloom in the desert. It’s the place that’s going to rise up out of the ashes. He says the enemy has tried to burn up Arizona, but no. He’s got rivers of living water, and it’s going to come from these women pouring out. And they’re strong, and they, they love him. And they stand for truth. He’s saying he’s doing a new thing in Arizona.
[Sigh] He says, “Do you not see the first three letters in the word Arizona? Ari. Ariel. Did I not tell you the desert, the ashes would be a lion that would arise—the Lion of God? Ari. Ariel. The spirit of Ariel is arising in Arizona and shall roar like a lion!” He’s saying watch what happens to Arizona. Watch.
And, uh, he’s showing me, um, one of my ministry partners, uh, is in Arizona, who went to the mountain to pray. Oh, come on! Oh, my gosh, Holy Spirit! OH, MY GOODNESS! Esther. Oh, my gosh. [Sigh] Okay, I see what’s happening. I see … Holy Spirit. All right; here comes the word. You guys ready? Ooph. [Sigh]
Carolyn Lhotsky; you all met her here on my show. She’s one of our ministry partners. She lives in Arizona. She lives near Phoenix, Arizona. She’s had a lot of prophetic dreams. She’s got a prophetic gifting. She came to visit me here in Virginia Beach, uh, about a month ago, and, um, she was here on the show, and she had a word and it was “Wear Your Crown Like Esther.” And she gave me a, wha, her and I have the same birthday, March 22, and she gave me a crown for my birthday. You all can see it. You can go back to that broadcast where Carolyn was here, and, um, while she was here, we got a word for Arizona as well, and we had like a supernatural thing happen while she was here.
When she, she came to the beach to pray—the shores of America—while she was praying, uh, her, she came in, in, to my house, and we went and prayed. We prayed on the land. So her and I prayed on the land, and then she went and prayed on the shore. And we prayed from all the gateways, you know, of America, we, we prayed for all of it and then that night, and I shared it on all my social media pages. That night there was, what was called, a moonrise over the bay right where Carolyn and I had stood and prayed, and it looked like the beams of the state flag of Arizona. Now the Lord is telling me that’s a crown. And if you notice, Wendy … Is, is her name Wendy Rogers—the senator of Arizona? Anytime she does an interview, she’s standing in front of the Arizona state flag with the beams coming off.
He’s crowned these women in Arizona. He’s crowned them like Esther. He’s crowned them. CROWNED THEM! And he sent Carolyn to the mountain. He says the fire coming out of the ashes … When Carolyn went to the mountain to pray, and I told her to go up there and do a land assignment and pray on the mountain, she was overlooking, uh, you know, just on this mountain, really powerful. She sent me pictures of it. I have a picture here on my phone. One day, she went up to the mountain, and we’ve been talking about coming out of the fire, you know, coming out of the fire, you know, beauty for your ashes, coming out of the fire. She said when she went up there to the mountain that day, she was not alone. There were three young men up there praying.
Now I know; I know what this is. There were three young men up there praying, and she said, “Oh,” she says, “I come up to this mountain to pray.” She goes, “Can I pray with you?” And they were like, “Sure.” And she prayed with those three young men. I know, I know what that represents. It represents the three friends of Daniel who went into the furnaces of Babylon, and they came out of the fire because Jesus Christ was with them. And they came out, and there wasn’t a singe on them. They didn’t even smell like smoke.
Arizona, the Lord is looking to you. Everything that the enemy meant for evil shall be turned to good. All the women that God has raised up for this time, he’s crowned them. They’re Esthers. You shall have beauty for your ashes, and you won’t even smell like smoke, Arizona. Watch what God does! And he says the enemy has tried to burn the ballots. They’ve tried to burn the ballots, but there’s something in those ballots that cannot burn, and it will speak, he’s saying. It will speak.
He says, “Arizona’s tried to cheat, and they’ve tried to burn the ballots of the election, but there is something in those ballots that will not burn, and it will speak in the end. Watch!” And the woman with the eagle eye—Wendy Rogers—he’s given her this sight. She’s the overseer, and these blooming in the desert shall come! His Esthers are in Arizona. Oh, my goodness.
So, Arizona, you got a Esther word. He’s crowned these women, the Lord has. He’s calling Wendy Rogers his eagle and his overseer, and he’s given her the vision for Arizona. And those who are called up for this time, he’s calling them his desert blooms. They will bring rivers of living water into Arizona, and he’s saying you’ve come out of Babylon, Arizona. You’ve come out of the ashes. They’ve tried to burn up Arizona. They’ve tried to burn up—the, the cheaters, the liars, the evil ones—WATCH! He said they’ve tried to burn up; they’ve tried to hide these, uh, the truth. They’re trying to burn it up, but in the end, it will speak and it won’t even smell like smoke. Oh, come on, God! Wow!!
You see, this card, the anointing … I don’t know if she, I wonder if she anointed this card? Her name is Deborah in Cochise, Arizona—and the eagle, and there’s a stream. Look at that, a stream. And the anointing of the Holy Spirit came on me so strong as soon as I put it in my hands. Oh, my gosh.
I’m trying to show this, see if I have still have this picture of Carolyn on the mountain praying when she went up there, and she saw the three young men. Let’s see if I can find it. She sent me so many pictures. I don’t know if I still have it. Oh, it may be, it may be on my old phone. Oh, I have it somewhere. Wow. Amazing. Ama … Look at God. Again, his daughters, his Esthers, we are in such an Esther time. It’s not just one Esther; it’s many of them.
So the Lord is speaking over Wendy Rogers. He’s saying you’re his eagle. He’s anointed you. He’s put you on the mountain. He’s brought you to a high place. He’s given you the vision for Arizona, Wendy Rogers. You are the overseer. You are the backbone that is strengthening the backbone of other women. He’s raising up his, his daughters in Arizona. He’s calling you an Esther, and he’s calling all these other women an Esther that he’s raising up for Arizona. He’s saying, “Do you not perceive it? Rivers in the desert, rivers of living water, streams of living water in the desert pouring forth, coming up out of the ground. Desert blooms, he’s causing, calling these women his desert blooms. He’s saying those three men on the mountain; Carolyn, who got the word, “Wear your crown like Esther;” she’s from Arizona. She went up to the mountain to pray. She took communion over Arizona. She met three young men up in the mountain. They prayed with her. Those represented the three young men that were in the fire of Babylon but did not get burned.
Beauty for your ashes. You are rising up out of the fire, Arizona, and you won’t even smell like smoke, not a singe. And anything that the evil ones have tried to burn, even if they tried to burn up the ballots and hide them, in the end, it will speak. “It will speak,” say’s the Lord.
Wow! I didn’t expect that today. My feet have been on the ground in Arizona, uh, two times. I, I’ve been, I’ve driven into Arizona, uh, when I was in na, ra, NASCAR racing, and, uh, went there for the races, and, um, uh, it’s, it’s very amazing when you’re driving into the state of Arizona, and you’re coming down those mountains, from those mountains, and you see, you can see over the whole city of Phoenix, and everything is so incredible. And that was the scene he was showing me in the eagle eye of Wendy. Is it Wendy Rogers? I believe that’s her name. Um, she’s his eagle. The Lord has spoken.
Let’s pray for Wendy Rogers. He’s, he’s put her in a position, uh, as an eagle. Uh, she’s got the vision, let the Holy Spirit …
So we, Father, we lift up Wendy Rogers, Senator Wendy Rogers of Arizona, we, we, we place her in the blood of Jesus Christ. We ask you, Lord, to, to pour fresh anointing on her. Continue to pour that eagle anointing on her to see long into the future and also see the hidden things. Let the hidden things be revealed to Wendy Rogers. That she’s seeing things from the high place you have given her. That she sees everything that is hidden and exposes it. Give her, uh, more strength. Give her more boldness. Surround her with your angel armies to protect her. In Jesus’ name, Father, these, these women that you’re raising up as Esthers in Arizona, that your favor would be upon them. We say divine reversal in Arizona. That Arizona will come forth out of the fire and won’t even smell like smoke, and the favor of God is upon Arizona. And anything that enemy try to burn up in Arizona SHALL SPEAK, SHALL SPEAK, SHALL SPEAK RIGHT NOW, and everybody shall know and shall know the, shall know the truth. Everything that is hidden, speak now, in the name of Jesus! Anything that tried to get burned up by the enemy, speak now in Arizona, in the name of Jesus. In Jesus’ name, and the blood of Jesus Christ that has been poured in the land by my ministry partner, my, my, one of our disciples here, Lord, by, uh, Carol Lhotsky, that the blood of Jesus Christ speaks in the land. She’s taken the communion, Lord. It’s speaking in the land of Arizona, and the blood of Jesus Christ speaks a better word over any word in Arizona, in the name of Jesus!
Wow, oh, my goodness! I didn’t expect that. I, I just grabbed that … see, the Lord is intentional. I might have thought I randomly grabbed that card. I might have thought, “Oh, I’m going to randomly grab this card out of my mail bin,” but nothing’s random with Jesus. He’s intentional. It was the Holy Spirit that gave that intention for me to pick up this card from Arizona and prophesy this today, and I had to be obedient to prophesy it and I thank the Lord for you all being here and witnessing to this word. God is faithful. And, Father, I ask for a great blessing upon Deborah Catlet, uh, for this, for her obedience, Lord, in Jesus’ name. Wow!
NOTE: Holy Spirit revelation: Definition of a desert bloom in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_bloom): A desert bloom is a climatic phenomenon that occurs in various deserts around the world. The phenomenon consists of the blossoming of a wide variety of flowers during early-mid spring in years when rainfall is unusually high. The blossoming occurs when the unusual level of rainfall reaches seeds and bulbs that have been in a latent or dormant state, and causes them to germinate and flower in early spring.
The key phrase that he pointed out was: “The blossoming occurs when the unusual level of rainfall reaches seeds and bulbs that have been in a latent or dormant state….” Out of that phrase, the key words were: ” unusual level of rainfall” and “have been in a latent or dormant state.”
The Holy Spirit has come in and watered his “blooms” that had been in a latent/dormant state and has caused them to germinate and flower.
You can see the “sun beam” CROWN over the beautiful blooms here in this photograph. Wow!!
UPDATE: Friday morning, December 10, 2021, I received a text from Carolyn Lhotsky saying she needed to have a quick call with me. She said that the Lord was telling her to wear her crown like Esther and to go to Senator Wendy Rogers’ office to tell her about this word and to pray with her. She was nervous about doing it but wanted to be obedient and was determined to go and sit in the office until she could talk with Wendy Rogers, show her the video, and pray with her.
We prayed together, and; afterward, as she was driving, she got behind a truck that had a sign on the back of it that said, “Critical to Your Mission.” We were still on the phone together, and she asked me if that was a sign from the Holy Spirit that she was on the right track. I assured her that it was. Wow, God is so good to reassure us with signs like this as we are seeking to do his will!
She went to Wendy Rogers’ office and had to make it through security. The favor of God was with her, and they let her in. She was sitting there waiting for the senator but found out that she was going to be out of her office all day busy with various engagements. The Holy Spirit orchestrated a divine appointment though. Wendy Rogers’ personal assistant came out and met with her! Carolyn was able to tell her everything! She even got to pray with her and pray over Wendy’s office! The Holy Spirit had told her to bring her crown with her on this appointment, and then he led her to give it to the personal assistant to give to Wendy Rogers with the message to “wear your crown like Esther.”
I was so proud of Carolyn for stepping out of her comfort zone and being obedient and walking in bold faith to complete this assignment for the Lord! Praise God!

Watch the video, and then read the transcript below.
SUMMONING THE LION OF GOD!
ANNAMARIE: “Chutes and ladders. Chutes and ladders. Chutes and ladders.” Thank you, Jesus. I see parachutes coming down, ladders going up. What is this, Lord? “Chutes and ladders. Chutes and ladders.” It’s not the game. No, these are actual parachutes coming out, uh, down. Military. Mm, Jesus. Military coming from top; military coming from the bottom. “Chutes and ladders!” Thank you, Holy Spirit. Wow. Mm, thank you, Jesus. He keeps saying it’s chutes and ladders, chutes and ladders, parachutes coming from the air down, and then coming up from underneath. Chutes and ladders. Parachutes. Is this the 82nd Airborne again, Lord? Jesus. [Inaudible whisper] Mm, he’s showing me parachutes coming down, military, and ladders coming up from underneath the military.
“This is the time of my four winds,” says the Lord. “My angels from the east, from the west, from the north, from the south, my angel armies are converging from the four corners of the earth. Arise, sons and daughters, for your time has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. It’s time to emerge, for I’m blowing my breath upon you. Get up and fight! YOU who have thought you lost in your run for office, do not take their word, for the Lord has said YOU are victorious! Keep fighting for your city! If I have called you up to be a leader, it doesn’t matter who’s name is on that office. YOU, your name is written in the heavens and the earth to be a voice for your city, for I, the Lord, have voted for you! Do not run away! If you are passionate about your city, GO and be a leader! I am the one that ordains the leaders and the kings,” says the Lord.
Yes, Lord. There’s someone here that wanted to run for public office, but it got too difficult. I don’t know if this is Gene Ho, could be more than one person. But he’s saying, “Like I said to Elijah,” says the Lord, “come out of your cave and go BACK, and stand up for my righteousness for your city! Get into the face of those Jezebels and Ahabs and tell them who the Lord God is!” For the Lord is saying, “I’ve ordained you to be a voice for your city. Even if these voting have been in the fix, I sent you to be a voice. Do not go into your cave and hide! Go back, like I said to Elijah! Come out of your cave!”
Yes, Lord. I’m thinking that’s for Gene Ho, but it could, it could be for more. Thank you, Lord.
“Ariel! I’ve called on Ariel! Ariel!” Archangel Ariel, I do not know what his assignment is, Lord. Is it his timing? I do not know. He’s calling out his name. Thank you, Lord. Oh, my goodness. This is a complete and total side-by-side convergence with our military of America with God’s. I mean, this is, whoa, it’s coming in from all sides. It’s coming in from all sides. It’s coming in from all sides.
That’s why I said do not fear, do not hide in your caves. We got to, we’ve got to fight too. He’s calling up the sons and daughters of God, along with the angels that are coming in, along with the military. This is all coming to a … what’s the word … like a crescendo. This has been set in time. I see it coming from all directions—parachutes coming in, coming in from north, south, east, west. I see angels coming in. I see military coming in. He’s saying, “Those who’ve been called up to lead and get in the face of the Jezebels and the Ahabs, do not run away! Get back out of your cave and go in and get in their face. This is not the time to retreat.”
He’s reminding me what Gene Ho said to me, the man who was running for mayor of Myrtle Beach. “Storm the beaches. Storm the beaches. Storm the beaches. Storm the beaches. Storm the beaches. Storm the beaches.” This is coming from all directions. I can’t even get a direction on this, and he keeps saying Ariel, and I have no idea, biblically, what that angel’s job is.
He’s saying, “Sons and daughters, rise up! This is not the time to retreat! Get back out of your cave and go back and get in the face of Jezebel and Ahab!” Oh, this is strong. I’m shaking. Lord. Oh, my gosh. It’s soon. He’s summoned Ariel. I, I, he’s summoning him. He’s been summoned!
Lord, I want to understand what you’re saying. Give me understanding. This is coming air, sea, land—it’s coming from everywhere—military, the good guys. Plus, those who have been called up to be soldiers of the Lord, this is not the time to retreat, he’s saying. My goodness, just, I’m just, I don’t know. Uh, this is big. This is really big. Pray. Pray! Pray for our military. “Storm the beaches. Storm the beaches. Chutes and ladders. Chutes and ladders. Storm the beaches. Chutes and ladders. The four winds. The angels of the four corners of the earth. Ariel has been summoned. Those who’ve been called up to lead and be a bold voice for this time, get out of your caves! Go back! Get into the face of Jezebel and Ahab. Do not hide!”
Oh, my gosh. Mm. There’s more, but I, I feel like, I, my whole body is shaking so bad. Please pray for me right now that I can get this out. Lord, please help me release this whatever this is. Help me, Holy Spirit.
“Do you not see the volcanoes?” Oh, the birthing is happening. The birthing. Yes, Lord. Sons and daughters of God are being birthed. It’s time. [Inaudible] uni, “that UN, that UN, UN, UN, you smell like old urine, UN.” Ooh, it’s a stench to his nostrils. They have mocked God. It’s not going to be good for the UN. It’s not going to be good for them. [Inaudible]
Thy will be done, O Lord. “You evil ones who have sat at your buffet tables try to give sloppy seconds to my people, YOU are the ones that will have the slop!” The Lord is saying, “My people shall have the delicacies. My people shall be honored. Their homes shall be filled with blessings. Those who have honored me,” says the Lord, “shall be honored. YOU TRY TO STEAL THEIR THANKSGIVING! HA! No, I will give them DOUBLE PORTION! They will still give thanks to me! YOU, O YOU EVIL ONES WILL NOT STOP THE VOICES OF MY PEOPLE GIVING ME THANKS, AND I WILL BLESS THEM!”
Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Oh. The Lord is angry about Thanksgiving and what they’re trying to do. He’s saying but he knows his people will still give him thanks. He will bless your tables. He says, “Do not fear.” He will bless your tables. He will bless your tables. Thank you, God. Now I feel the Father’s heart right now. He is, he is coming for those who have hurt his children. I feel the Father’s heart strong. Those who’ve tried to take food out of his children’s mouths, tried to feed his children sloppy seconds, he keeps saying, “Sloppy seconds, who do they think they are?”
Please pray for me. There’s more. There’s more. I’m trying to get it out. There’s more. Holy Spirit. “Space man, space man.” Space Force? Please pray for me that I get out what God wants to say. Lord, help me. Thank you, Jesus. He says, “Look up; look up; look up.” Things are happening in the skies, in the heavens that have been prepared for this time. He has aligned it. He has ordained it, the Lord. Do not fear. Be bold and courageous. He is with us. Yes, Lord. “Did not my son say he saw Satan fall like lightning from the sky? You will see things falling from the sky, but do not fear. It is for the good.” Yes, Lord. “It is for your safety. I’m cleaning the heavens. I’m SWEEPING them clean!” Yes, Lord.
He’s saying, “I’m teaching you in this time how to get your households in order. This is a time of cleansing, of renewal, of cleaning the clutter.” He says, “I’m cleaning the clutter too! There’s work to do for my ecclesia!” Yes, Lord. Thank you, God. “I will protect my children.”
Thank you, God. He’s showing me the scripture. He’s showing me a scripture. He’s showing me the scripture. He’s taking our captivity captive. Those who’ve tried to hold his children captive, he’s taking them captive.
“Do you not know how the story of Esther ends? My Esther! Do you not know how her story ends?” Yes, Lord, I know! It’s good! “Yes, it’s a happy ending. Did I not tell you to say yes to Esther, that I will always come through for my faithful ones, for my bold ones? Divine reversal. I take those who have tried to take you captive. They are the ones that shall be captive.” Yes, Lord. We did say yes to Esther, Lord. We did. We did. We proclaimed it. We did. You told us to watch your brilliant plan how it all unfolds. You told us divine reversal.
[Gasp] That’s right! I just saw, he just showed me how Sight & Sound Theater in Pennsylvania, there’s only like two more weeks of that Esther play, and then they’re wrapping up the Esther play. And did the word for Pennsylvania go forth, Divine Reversal – Yes to Esther, there’s only two more weeks left in that play. Is that an alignment? [Gasp] Sean Feucht was in Lancaster bringing in the glory. He was in that field in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where the Esther play was playing. He was in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The Esther play is in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He was actually in a harvest field bringing hundreds and hundreds of people to the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ. The glory’s there, the glory. He ushered in the glory.
There’s a timing going on here. There’s a timing going on here. Sight & Sound Theaters, they’re wrapping up that Esther play. There’s only two more weeks of it. It’s in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. God gave us that word, Yes, to Esther. It was alignment with that Lancaster play in Pennsylvania. Divine reversal. Sean Feucht was just there two weeks ago having a big revival meeting in the middle of a field that just had harvest. There’s, it’s a marker. There’s a marker. This is all, this is all happening at once.
That’s right. We got to wear our crowns like Esther. We cannot retreat. We got to stay awake. These are the days of Elijah. These are the days of Esther. And he said, “I take my captivity captive.” Take those, he’s taking those, he’s taking our captivity captive. We’ve been held captive. Oh, my goodness.
Okay, I’m starting to feel some relief now. That was, whoa. That volcano erupted. He said, he just said what it was. What did he say? He said something about the volcano. He just said it. Birthing. Birthing. It’s the earth birthing the sons and daughters of God, us now! It’s a sign of us arising.
Ooh, I just feel like I just had a baby. Oh, [Inaudible] That was intense. Whoa. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. It’s not a tsunami. Lord already told us three weeks ago the tsunami is the outpouring of his Holy Spirit, and that any flooding that comes in is a cleansing of his Spirit. He’s already told us that. Wow. [Inaudible] Whew, this was strong.
Father, I thank you and I praise you for your holy word. I thank you, God. We’re asking now for prophetic confirmation and understanding of this word. We thank you, Father, and we praise you. We thank you, Father God, that you are our defender. We thank you, God, that you have come in with your mighty right hand, and you are saving your children. We thank you, Father, that you are destroying all evil, that the battle is yours, Lord, and you are, you are avenging the evil for your children. That we, yes, Lord, we will be faithful. We will not retreat. We will stay bold and courageous. Father, protect our military. Protect your people. Protect those bold ones that are standing up for your kingdom and your glory. Protect those that are getting in the face of Jezebel and Ahab. Thank you, God. Father, your glory is our covering. Thank you for sending your angel, Ariel and Michael and all your angel armies, God. We thank you, God. We praise you. Thank you, [Inaudible].
My friends, I don’t know; there’s a lot here to piece together. I have to go back and listen to it myself because a lot of times when this is coming forth and coming out of me, um, I don’t realize all that’s being said, es, especially the Spirit is speaking, of the Lord, I have to go back and, and put it together. I’m going to ask my, my scribe, uh, Goose, to go through and scribe this. The Lord loves to come and speak to us after communion. We invite him, and he, he, he comes and he speaks, and we’re coming to a crescendo in time. But do not fear. Stay faithful. Keep your eyes looking up. Do, do not, do not listen to any gloom and doom. Know that God is here with us. The Lord is here with us. He’s saving us. He’s saving his children. He, he is avenging those who have hurt us that are his children because he’s a good, good Father.
And I just , ooh, I just, uh, I’m asking you to pray for our military for their protection. Pray for the good guys. Pray for the plans and purposes of God to go forth. When we get a prophetic word, we must pray. Pray that those that have been called at this time to stand boldly for the Lord, that have been called to be the Elijahs to get into the face of the Jezebels and the Ahabs to, to not run away and hide right now. Turn back around and fight and do not fear if you won’t have, if you’re afraid you won’t have much on your Thanksgiving table. God is saying he’s going to provide and to just give him thanks. Okay? All right?
Oh, my goodness, was this the first prophetic word that was spoken in here, in this room? Thank you, God. Thank you, God. You are so good and faithful, Father. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. I feel like it’s all come forth. I feel that release. I feel that relief, but there’s still something stirring here right in the center of my spirit. It’s just like a, a expectation, like it’s coming. It’s coming. More is coming. More is coming. Not in a fearful way, but like get ready, expectation, you’re about to see the glory of God.
My goodness, wow, wow, that was a lot. My friends, our prayers have gone up to Heaven. The Lord has heard us, and Father God is coming in and woe to those, woe to those who have taken food out of his children’s mouth and have hurt his children. Woe to those who try to ruin his children’s Thanksgiving. Woe to those at the UN. Oh, my goodness. Oh, oh, my goodness. We prayed for them. We’ve prayed for them to turn from their wicked ways. Gosh, I’m still shaking. Thank you, God. Thank you, Father.
I’m trying to see what y’all are saying. Does anybody know the assignment of the angel Ariel from the Bible? I need a biblical meaning. Biblical meaning of Ariel. Lori? The Lord said one, in, in, in, he’s going to sweep it! I saw like a big, giant [Sweeping sound effect]. Is that what Ariel does? Mm. I’m still shaking. Whew! What is the biblical meaning of Ariel? What does that angel do? He’s summoning, he said he’s summoning Ariel. Thank you, God. And he said Chutes and ladders, it’s coming from the top down [Inaudible], oh, the enemy’s not going to have anywhere to go. I’m telling you. My whole body is shaking right now. [Sigh]
Okay, Renee Foster says, “Ariel is over nature, Lion of God, air, wind, fire, water.” Oh, my goodness. [Gasp] Lizella Ornelas says, “God calls on the place of Ariel to wipe out the evil coming from the ground up in Judah.”
Oh, my goodness. I can’t stop shaking. This … thank you, God. Thank you, God. Oh, my God. I’m so grateful to you, God. Ariel, the lion of God, chief man, sent by Ezra. Oh, my goodness. Ariel’s an angel who punishes the demons—the punisher. Ariel’s the punisher. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Thank you, God. Pray for me. Pray for me. I can’t stop shaking.
[Gasp] The picture behind me, the lion and Jesus, the lion and Jesus. Something told me to bring this picture out here today. So, the Holy Spirit told me to bring this picture out here today. The Holy Spirit told me to bring this picture out here today and put it behind me. I almost felt bad because I thought, “Lord, I need to leave it in the house in my living room. I need to leave this picture in the house in my living room.” Jennifer Klinger gave this to me for my birthday this year, and we had a powerful communion when Jennifer was here and we held this up, this picture, and I love it so much. And I thought, “Oh, you know, I really need to keep it in my house,” but the Holy Spirit said to me this morning, “Bring it out and put it behind you today.” Thank you, Lord. He’s so faithful. He’s so faithful. I felt guilty about that I thought I need to leave something in the house, you know, just, but I thought, “No, this is the house. This is all still attached to the house. This is not separate. This is still the whole house.” He wanted, he wanted to be, he wanted, he wanted this sign to be here, this whole sign of him being the lion of Judah, the lion. He comes back as a lion, and the angel Ariel is with him.
Oh, my goodness; oh, my goodness, it’s 3:26. It’s almost 4 o’clock. Oh, my goodness; oh, my gosh, I had it just here behind me. I’m just going to set it on my desk here, so it doesn’t fall over. Oh, my goodness.
Wow. Whew. My friends, our God is a mighty God. This is incredible. You see, you invite him, and he comes. And he knew that this would be a day that he wanted to speak this powerful and profound word to us because we give him a place to speak where he wants to just flow here. I just, I’m in awe. I’m in awe of our Lord. I’m in awe of God.
I don’t know. Jennifer, how can you get this portrait? I don’t know. Jennifer Klinger got this for me. Jennifer, if you’re still on here maybe you can share where you got this from. I just absolutely love it.
And, um, remember, Jesus is coming back in all majesty. He’s coming back as a lion, my friends, and the Lion of Judah is here and the angel Ariel represents that, and that’s, this whole thing is just incredible. I’m just sitting here in awe of God. I just don’t know what to say other than our God is a mighty God, and he is here, and he is saving us, and he’s heard our prayers.
So, my friends, stay faithful. Our Father God loves us so much, and he’s protecting his children. Judah, behold the Lion of Judah. My goodness, hallelujah. What are y’all saying? I do, I have to go down and rest. I’m, I’m just completely, just everything is just drained out of me right now, but in a good way. So I’m just going to ask my scribes, my scribe, uh, uh, if, uh, Goose, and, uh, if you want to take that word and scribe it, and we’ll put it together, and I need to go back and watch it because I’m still trying to just understand. I’m still trying to just wrap my head around it. I just don’t, uh, what’s coming is going to be, this is our Father God coming in for us.
My friends, I blessed you all in the name of Jesus. I just thank you all for being here today, and, um, I’m going to go rest and, um, I just want to thank you so much, and, um, God is good. He’s faithful. He’s heard our prayers, and I bless you all in the name of Jesus. And I just, I’m just in awe of God and his goodness and his faithfulness, and he’s such a good, good Father. He’s such a good Father. I love you all so much, and, uh, and I will see you Monday unless he has something else he wants to say over the weekend, and my team will be sending out, uh, emails and, and, and things of, uh, other words that we’ve had and prayers and, so make sure you’re on the, the, uh, prayer, or the, oh, my gosh. I’m so overwhelmed right now, my friends. Make sure you’re on my email list to get those. Okay?
And, um, just remember when you’re looking up angels, and you’re looking up Ariel, only the Bible only. Angels are not female. They’re only male. So if you’re looking up things about the angel Ariel on Google, and it says that it’s a she and, no. Be careful what you look up. Those angel numbers and calling the angels female is New Age. Stay away from that, please! It would be irresponsible of me not to tell you that information because you’re being deceived if you think the angels are female and that they have angel numbers. No, that is not of God!
God’s angels are huge warriors, and they’re male. I’ve gone to God with this many, many, many times. You know what he says to me? “Are there any in my word with female names?” And I said, “No, Lord; they’re all male.” We do not pray to angels. We pray to the Father God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only way to the Father. Angels are servants of God and servants of us, the redeemed. And God has archangels with specific major assignments that are wrote, written of in his word.
Stick with the word of God only. Do not get led down a path that is not of God. I’ve already told you the book of Zechariah. Go back to my Zechariah teaching. I’m getting weary. I’m getting weary. I’m not, strengthen me, Lord. What God says in the book of Zechariah, that he’s going to take the spirit of wickedness and stuff it into a basket, stuff it into a crate and put a talent of lead on top of it and seal it, and he summoned two females with wings like storks.
People think that that means they’re female angels. No, they’re not! They’re demons! Even the demons have to be subject to Jesus Christ. Even the demons have to be subject to God. God summoned two demons to go and take out their own trash. Storks are unclean birds, so when he says, he summoned two females with wings like storks, they were not female angels. They were two demons that he told to come and take this basket of wickedness. God stuffed the spirit of wickedness into a basket, sealed it with a talent of lead, and told the demons to come and take out their own trash.
Go back to my Zechariah teaching. So this is where people get deceived. They think, “Oh, angels must be female because of what Zechariah says.” NO! Those were demons! All of God’s angels are male, and I’m not being sexist because God is not sexist. God made his angels mighty warriors. They’re masculine. Archangel Michael, Ariel, Gabriel, they are major, huge, fierce angels with specific assignments. Gabriel is the messenger. Archangel Michael is, uh, the, the head of the, God’s army. Right? He, he, he’s the one that shoved Satan into hell. And Ariel is also a huge male angel that has a huge assignment. So all these paintings with female flowy angels, that isn’t what they look like.
And I’ve already told you my experience in California when I saw the warrior angel that was over that region of California, and when I was in San Luis Obispo, California, and that the angel of the Lord revealed itself to me. And he was huge, in battle armor, and he was one big, tough … These are warriors. They’re fighting demons. They’re fighting the, the evil fallen angels. Okay?
So stick with what the Bible says, the word of God says about his angels. And be careful of what you read online. I’m only going to go by what Lori said biblically about the angel Ariel, what the Bible says. If you’re seeing an angel that looks feminine, that’s a familiar spirit, or it could be something of your imagination based on what you’ve seen in paintings. But when you see a real angel, you’ll know because you’ll feel it in your whole spirit, and you will feel the awesome strength of that angel. They’re powerful. They’re warriors. They serve at the pleasure of King Jesus, and they’re no nonsense.
Thank you. Somebody gave me the scripture Isaiah 29:1-8. Ariel means Lion of God in Hebrew, also synonym for bravery and courage. Thank you for the Hebrew meaning. We know that’s important too. Also a symbol for the Tribe of Judah. Ariel is one of the names for Jerusalem and the temple of Jerusalem. Wow.
The Cherubim that are around God’s throne are, are big too and powerful. They’re not little baby angels that look like cupid. That’s idolatry. The Cherubim, the Cherubim, they pull God’s chariot. Read Ezekiel. You know how big God’s chariot is? Huge.
President Trump is called the punisher. That’s right; that’s right, and the Lord just said that his angels are partnering with those warriors here. It’s all aligning. It’s all aligning because God’s angels have specific assignments.
I got, I have to go rest. I just want to make sure you all know the truth. There are some people that get mad at me when I say that. I’ve got a lot of people get angry at, at me when I tell them the angels of the Lord are not female, but you can’t look at it in your earthly way, like, “Oh, it has to be fair. It has to be male, female.” That’s, that’s man’s way. You see? We got to look at it as God’s way. Do you understand? And I have to share truth with you whether people get mad at me or not. I’ve gone to the Lord with this over and over and over and over again, and he’s brought me back to his word over and over and over again and says, “Is there any angels in my word that are with female names?” And I was like, “No.”
And then ex, when I went to Zechariah, I said, “What about these two females with stork wings?” And the Lord said, “They’re demons that I summoned to take out their own trash.” Go back to that Zechariah teaching. And we’re in the Zecharia right now. God is taking the spirit of wickedness and stuffing it into a basket and making the demons take out their own trash.
[Gasp] Sweeping! Oh, my goodness, didn’t he just say that he’s sweeping? He’s sweeping all this … Zechariah, Zechariah, Zechariah, Zechariah, Zechariah. He keeps telling me we’re in Zechariah. He says in Zechariah, “I will take the spirit of wickedness and stuff it into a basket and put a lead of talent on it and seal it, and, and tell the demons to come and take it out.” Right? He’s going to summon those two women with stork wings and tell them to take it out. He’s sweeping out the trash and putting it into a basket and sealing it with a talent of lead. Do you know what a talent of lead looks like? It looks like a hubcap. Uh, not a hubcap. It looks like a, a, um, what are those things that cover the sewers? Really heavy. Manhole cover. Thank you, Piccirillo. He just said he’s sweeping it.
We are living in amazing times, my friends, amazing times, amazing times. I bless you in the name of Jesus. I have got to go lay down. I can barely sit up anymore. Please pray for me that God will renew my strength. I’m going to go and rest and, O Lord. I bless you all in the name of Jesus. Thank you for being here. This has been an incredible time. I love you all so much. Thank you to my team. My team is so dedicated being here all this time, spending all these hours. Thank you all for being here spending all these hours. I bless you all in the name of Jesus, and we will, uh, take these words and, and the precious of the Lord. My scribe will put them together, and, um, continue to pray. Our God is faithful.
Remember, all of Heaven is cheering you on, and I’m cheering you on. We’re the heroes of the faith now, and we have to stand up boldly for the Lord. And if you’re feeling depleted, just get back into the word, get back into the Lord, and he will renew your strength.

UPDATE: After this broadcast, the Holy Spirit began to unpack this word for me and give me clarity on the biblical meaning of Ariel. Ariel is another word for Jerusalem and also means Lion of God. He led me to Isaiah chapters 29-31 and this book, Isaiah, by John F. A. Sawyer, beginning on page 236, which was very helpful in learning what Ariel means to us in this hour.
You can watch the follow-up broadcast below where I explained what the Holy Spirit revealed to me through these scriptures, the book, and confirmations over the next couple of days.
I encourage you to keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking. Go to God with this for your own confirmation and deeper revelation. God’s word tells us, “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” – Matthew 7:7 (NLT) We are, again, reminded to search things out in Proverbs 25:2 – “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” (NKJV)
