Family

Fight the Devil back By Praying For Your Family!

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

EVERY FAMILY is affected one way or another by the demonic realm. They attack in so many different ways with so many different people, especially those who are non-believers, but not so surprisingly anymore, even among those who profess to be Christians. See 1Timothy 4:1-5 and 2Peter 3:4 for a couple of examples.

After all, Scripture does tell us that “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus WILL BE persecuted, while evil people and impostors WILL GO ON FROM BAD TO WORSE, deceiving and BEING deceived” (2Tim. 3:12-13).

So we should expect trouble to occur in this day and time as we get closer to the “End of Days”, not only with strangers or co-workers, etc., but from WITHIN our own FAMILIES.

AND—this problem is also affecting me as well; being a servant of the Most High doesn’t mean I’m immune to any sort of attacks. I don’t just deal with the onslaught from satanic groups or the like; in fact, most of the attacks a Christian like myself faces comes right from our own family members and close friends.

How and why does that happen? I’ll give you a few examples from Scripture of what people DO NOT look out for, when certain negative thoughts come into their minds.

I’ll share a real example from my own life experiences that is taking place right now.

HaSatan is doing an excellent job with certain people in my family; unfortunately they don’t recognize the “fiery darts”(Eph. 6:16) shooting into their mind as from him and the demons.

Furthermore, they do not “take every thought captive (2Cor. 5:10) to the obedience of Christ.”

And, I can almost guarantee that those who say they are Christ’s, are NOT putting on the armor of God every single day (Eph. 6:10-18).

Which also means they are NOT allowing the Holy Soirit to chastise and correct them, instruct them, and teach them (Jn.16:8-11,13; 14:26; 15:26) via God’s Word, how to PROTECT THEMSELVES from such demonic mental attacks.

Those people have not allowed the Holy Spirit to work in them, in order for them to “be transformed by the renewal of your mind”, so they will be able to rightly discern (Rom. 12:1-2) right from wrong; to know God’s will vs. allowing their flesh and emotions to take over.

PAUL the Apostle in Romans 8:6-7 stated, “For to set the mind on the flesh is DEATH, but to set the mind on the (Holy) Spirit is LIFE and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is HOSTILE to God, for it does not submit to God‘s law; indeed, it cannot.”

HENCE vs. 8: “Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”

HOW MUCH hostility have we seen in the present day concerning the truth of the Bible, godliness, purity, etc.? This world is adamantly AGAINST all that is of God and His Word!

Though the natural (fleshly, non -believer) person doesn’t accept the things of God (1Cor. 2:14), unfortunately, sometimes the believer gets caught up in the worldly drama when they are NOT disciplining themselves in whatever junk they take INTO their thought life. Ephesians 2:1-3 says we believers WERE DEAD in our trespasses and sins”, but should no longer live or think like the fleshly, worldly person.

Yet it continues to happen when the Christian doesn’t have or want the knowledge of Christ and HIS truth (Jn 14:6; 17:17); they do not rightly handle the word of truth (2Tim. 2:15); nor do they diligently allow Scripture or the Holy Spirit Who DWELLS IN each true believer (1Cor. 3:16; 6:19) to be the instrument of instruction, reproof, correction, or training in righteousness”( 2Tim3:16) that the Lord Jesus, Who IS the living Word of God-desired for us, in order for us to have the mind of Christ (1Cor. 2:16; Philippians 2:5).

Furthermore, Romans 8:9 REMINDS us professed Christians that “YOU, however, are not in the flesh, but in the SPIRIT, IF IN FACT the Spirit of God DWELLS IN you. ANYONE who does NOT have the Spirit of Christ does NOT BELONG TO HIM.”

A VERY strong statement from Paul there, but needful so that we realize how crucial and significant it is to make sure that we have the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us at ALL times, and in all circumstances.

Hence the reason why those who do not put to practice what the Lord Jesus stated in His Word, end up believing wrong things about me and others, and before you know it, I’m on their “blacklist” and ostracized from their lives and most family gatherings.

So when THIS happens to YOU, PRAY powerful spiritual warfare prayers FOR them and AGAINST the demonic entities that plague them, and leave the rest up to the Lord Jesus, Who will be the JUDGE of all.

CONTINUE to love them, forgive them for how they hurt you, but WALK AWAY if you must (hopefully, only for a certain amount of time)to stay away from the arguments and drama. LET God the Father and His Son deal with them in Their own way.

Continue to live your life out for Christ, and be the light in the midst of the darkness that is unfortunately increasing with every passing day.

Is It a Ghost, or a DEMON?

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

THEY ARE DEMONS—NOT GHOSTS! I personally can attest to that!!

I remember one particular night as if it happened last night. It was three weeks after my Nana died (Feb, 1975). I was getting ready to go to bed, brushing my hair, looking into the mirror as usual. Behind me, and to my right, there 😳suddenly was a ghostly figure of an old woman, 🫢and she was motioning with her finger for me to 😱come to her. I just turned 10 years old at the time, and also by this time, I already saw the Lord Jesus at around six years of age, and my angels (I was assigned two of them, one on either side of me-mainly due to when I started to deal with my calling of spiritual warfare as I got older) a few times.

But this – this ghostly figure I could tell it was🙁 not friendly, and I was getting really bad 🫣vibes from it. Suddenly, I heard what I know now to be the voice of the Holy 🕊️Spirit, telling me to get into my bed. I literally jumped from where I was into the bed, and pulled my covers over my head.

A couple of minutes later, I looked, and that old 🫢woman was still standing there! At that point, I 😫screamed, and my mother came flying up the stairs, flipping on the light, asking me what was wrong. I told her what I saw, and as usual, because 🙄she never believed me any other time😒, she tried to dismiss it and told me to go to sleep.

Now, it wasn’t hard to figure out who that the spirit was pretending to be my grandmother – I knew deep down it wasn’t her. I felt more of an 😈ominous, evil surrounding with this spirit, that I’ve never felt before.

Some of you may ask why the Lord would allow me to go through such things at a young age; He was already preparing me for what He called me to do—to deal with the spiritual warfare and the evil spirits that plague humanity. Besides that calling, as you know, I am a Servant of His, working in the office of a prophet, informing and warning people what is written that is to come.

I’ll add this here as well – as a child, I never cared for Halloween. Sure, I love getting dressed up, and it was fun receiving candy from the neighbors, and being able to walk around with my friends. But I really didn’t like it from the day my mother would start to put up the Halloween decorations – they always creeped me out. And it was only a matter of time when I found out what the reality of the evil behind Halloween -Samhain-was all about. 

I hope by sharing this little tidbit of my life with you all, that you understand a little better why I am so opposed to Halloween, and anything to do with the occult and dark arts. The entire spiritual realm which the demonic realm, as well as the angelic realm is a part of, is very real. Ask any exorcist, ex-Satanist, or ex-witch or warlock. Or anyone else that has gotten out of such other demonic practices, such as voodoo, Santeria, etc. If they are honest with you, they will tell you just how real those evil spirits are, especially when they manifest themselves right in front of you.

God‘s 📖Word is 100% true – ALL of it. He didn’t allow the writers of the different books between the Old and New Testaments, to write things just to scare us in order to make us believe and obey. Everything that is written in the Scriptures, is there to help us combat the evil forces that are very much apart of our every day lives. And that it is true, whether we want to believe it or not.

And for those of you who continue to insist that there is no God, there is no spiritual world, that all of this is hogwash and just things that we make up in our minds, etc. – I truly feel so bad for you. Because the Day WILL come when you as that individual, have to stand up in front of the Lord Jesus Christ, at the White Throne Judgment seat. You will see then, just how real everything that was written in the Bible, is.

I haven’t mentioned this here for a while, so I will say it again—

Believe it or not, EVERYONE does go to Heaven. When you sit and think about that statement, it all makes sense. The Lord Jesus Christ will be judging every single person that has ever lived. He is not going to do it on a cloud somewhere; He is not going to do it on the earth; He’s not going to do it in some other realm; He is going to do it in His Courtroom, where His Throne sits, in the Third Heaven (2Cor. 12:2-4) for all to see how real His 📖Word really is. The beauty, the awe, the majesty, all the creatures that are mentioned in the Bible, all the Saints, the elders with their crowns, the Divine Council, the myriad of angelic beings that are there, etc.

EVERY single person who ever lived, will see all of this. ONCE they are judged by the Lord Jesus Christ, His sentence on their life will determine whether they continue to see that ✨beauty 🌈and majesty ✨for all of eternity, or—

The Lord Jesus Christ will have that individual depart from Him, be taken by the angels to be cast in to the Lake of 🔥fire 🔥for all of 🔥eternity.

But once again – everyone who has ever lived, WILL see Heaven. They will go to Heaven and experience it. Those of you who think that’s impossible because the Lord God would not allow sin to enter into heaven – obviously has not read the Bible, where the evil ones themselves like the HaSatan mentioned in Job, going to and fro from the Earth back to heaven; that is why in Revelation 21 there is a mention of a NEW heaven and a NEW earth. One a person actually reads and studies the Bible, according to the way, it was supposed to be read – what the authors of each book was trying to convey to their readers – that individual can and will understand via the Holy Spirit, what the word of God is saying. But the person has to take the time out and really seek the Lord God out in order to know the TRUTH.

Whether they stay there or not, depends on the CHOICES they have made concerning the Lord ✡️God, His 📖Word, and whether or not they accepted the Lord ✝️Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord into their lives.

CHOOSE, and CHOOSE WISELY, for the TIME is SHORT!

These disgusting, vile evil 👿ones have but ONE job – to steal, kill, and destroy (Jn. 10:10) ANY human beings as possible, BEFORE the Time of the ⚖️Judgement.

They will deceive you 💥any which 💥way they can. They know you better than you know yourself. They know what “buttons” to push, they know what to put in 🫣front of you (😈Eyegates;😈EARgates) in order for you to get locked on and pulled in.

AS His Servant who is commissioned to INFORM and WARN as my brothers and sisters before me have done, I am not at liberty to tell you the entire reason why the Lord has allowed a certain “few” of these fallen angels and their offspring – the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim, otherwise known as the demons— to remain here on earth until the time of His ⚡️☄️💥🔥Wrath and ⚖️JUDGMENT(nor do I know all of those reasons); most of it you would not even want to believe; but I can tell you this much:

✨❤️We humans who were created out of PURE ✨❤️LOVE by Adonai Elohim Tseva’ot 📖(Gen. 1:26-27) have been caught up in the middle of a ✨spiritual 🛡️⚔️war 🗡️that began several millennia ago.

The ones who were (and still are) mainly involved, were the LORD God Most High and his FIRST set of creative beings, which were the ANGELS (also called “sons of God” and “morning stars” (Gen. 6:1-4; Job 38:7), who not only watched Him create everything and rejoiced over it, but were ALSO to be the “ministers of righteousness (2Cor. 11:15)” and “ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation “( Heb. 1:14).

THOSE SONS OF THE MOST HIGH WHO REBELLED, ARE (some of) THE ONES WHO already have been CHAINED UP in darkness UNTIL ⚖️the JUDGEMENT (2Pet. 2:4; Jude 1:6), and again, SOME by the LORD’S wisdom and HIS purposes, have REMAINED HERE 🌎on EARTH, for our TESTING, to see just WHO HUMANITY would ✨CHOOSE ✨and follow after—

1). Either The MOST HIGH ✡️GOD-El Elyon, El Gibbor, HIS ✝️SON, the Lord Jesus Christ -Yeshua HaMashiach-Who would be their LORD, ✝️SAVIOR, MASTER, and 👑KING, and His ETERNAL 📖WORD, having the Ruach 🕊️HaKodesh DWELL✨ WITHIN ✨them, as adopted sons of the Most High (Jn. 1:12; Rom. 8:15; Gal. 3:26; Eph. 1:5;), giving them power, strength, wisdom, discernment and authority over ALL the evil (Lk. 10:19; Eph. 6:10-18); as it is written 📖, “FOR as many as are LEAD by the 🕊️SPIRIT 🕊️OF ✡️GOD✝️, they are the SONS of God”(Rom. 8:14).

Once we truly and WHOLEHEARTEDLY become ✡️the LORD God’s sons and daughters, and ✨live ✨daily by His 📖Word, being protected by the BLOOD 🩸 of the Lord ✝️Jesus, and having the Holy 🕊️Spirit dwell within us, the devil and his angels can try to still tempt us, but they can NEVER AGAIN steal, kill, or destroy our eternal souls!🙏❤️📖🕊️

OR—-

2). Those sons of God who rebelled, and turned themselves into ALL (and I do mean ALL!!) of the different gods of this 🌎world —to ENTICE those humans to fall and worship THEM,

Just like they tried to do to THE ✝️Son of God when even HE HIMSELF was tempted in the wilderness (Matt. 4:1-11);

🙏The LORD God the Father, hoping that those humans would follow in the footsteps of His Son, telling those evil ones, “Away from me, Satan! For it is 📖written, Worship the LORD your God and SERVE HIM ONLY”(Matt. 4:10).

📋The main rules of this ONGOING SPIRITUAL 🛡️⚔️WAR which humans should basically be made aware of, ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1). If one is enticed by the evil, any way that the evil ones can trap them, and can convince them to STAY that way, no matter how much or little they agree to do of the evil—even if it’s just “dabbling” in it, and/or celebrating certain pagan festivals such as Samhain/Halloween, WITHOUT REPENTING for it before the end of their days on Earth—

the recompense of God will be that they lose their eternal soul at the end of their lives for CHOOSING TO REMAIN SINFUL AND NOT REPENTING of their sins, and at the ⚖️Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15), they will be placed into the same 🔥eternal 🔥fires that the ✡️MOST ✝️HIGH 🕊️GOD has prepared for the devil and his angels (Matt. 25:41).

2). IF the person truly DOES WANT OUT OF THAT LIFESTYLE, no matter how much or how little they got themselves involved,

AND —that individual 😭🙏REPENTS for ALL that they said or did while engaging in those pagan and demonic practices that are clearly written in📖God’s Word to be an abomination to Him (Deut. 12:2-4, 29-32; 18:9-12; 22:5; Ex20:2-5; 1Ki. 11:10; Lev. 18:24-30; Rom. 1; 1 Cor.; Eph. 4:17-19; 1Pet. 4:3)

IF they REPENT and RECANT their allegiance to the satan and all other gods they have followed and/r paid homage to by celebrating such pagan and godless practices;

AND that individual CALLS UPON THE NE OF THE LORD TO BE SAVED (Joel 2:32;Rom. 10:9-10, 13), and DECLARES the Lord Jesus Christ to be their SAVIOR AND LORD of their lives, forsaking ALL OTHER GODS—

THEN, and ONLY then, will the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT, Who is the THIRD PERSON of the ✡️Triune 📖✝️Godhead🕊️, come INTO THEM and DWELL with them (Jn. 3:3,5,7; 1Cor. 3:16; 6:19), to lead and guide that individual, and make them into a “holy temple” , conforming them “into the image of His Son” (Roman. 8:29), so that they WILL BE ABLE TO enter into the Celestial Kingdom of the MOST HIGH GOD and HIS SON, at the Time of the End of Days(Rev.20-22).

That person will THEN hear those words, “Well done” (Matt. 25:21,23; Lk. 19:17), instead of hearing those 😖awful words NO human 😭ever wants to hear—

“DEPART FROM ME, you cursed, into the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41).

BUT—and this is a MUST!!!—-

💥The ✨CHOICE ✨MUST ✨BE UP TO THE HUMANS THEMSELVES. 💥

NO EVIL SPIRIT, FALLEN ANGEL, or DEMON can FORCE THEM to STAY;

NEITHER CAN THE LORD GOD HIMSELF FORCE ANYONE TO LOVE HIM AND HIS SON.

💥The individual MUST come WILLINGLY to EITHER SIDE—💥

And at the ✨End of 📖Days✨, the individual’s CHOICES 💥WILL DETERMINE💥 where they end up, as it is 📖written,

“BY YOUR WORDS you willl be JUSTIFIED, and BY YOUR WORDS you will be CONDEMNED” (Matt.12:37).

The LORD GOD MOST HIGH does NOT “put” anyone into those 🔥eternal 🔥fires;

THE HUMAN BEING CHOOSES TO GO TO 🌈EITHER ✨❤️ETERNAL ✨✝️DESTINATION 🔥THEMSELVES🔥—BY THE CHOICES THEY MAKE IN THIS LIFE.

🙏Once again, beloved—I BEG YOU, please, CHOOSE WISELY ✝️who 👿you SERVE in THIS life here 🌎on Earth, for it WILL determine WHERE you spend your ✝️✨🌈ETERNAL ☄️💥🔥LIFE.

If He Equips You, Do What You Are Called To Do

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

Being a warrior for the Most High God is not what I set out to do; I would never have chosen these appointments for myself, knowing how dangerous they are.

But because the LORD did the choosing for me, I deal with it, accepting these assignments BECAUSE HE HAS MADE AND EQUIPPED ME TO DEAL with such positions.

I could not ever do by myself in my own flesh and strength, what I was called by the LORD God to do—that is, inform and warn others in the office of a prophet like my brothers Jeremiah, Elijah, Ezekiel, Joel, etc.,

AND also handle the onslaught of spiritual warfare, using His 📖Word, 🛡️⚔️Power, and ✝️Authority to help those who SEEK THE LORD’S HELP to fight against the seemingly overwhelming amount of evil forces that plague the precious human beings on this Earth.

I am willing to HELP THOSE who are truly seeking HONEST answers to their problems. You may not think the problem has a spiritual connection, but most of the time-there IS at least ONE DEMONIC DOORWAY open in a person’s life that is keeping them from receiving the peace of God through Jesus Christ.

As busy as I am with my PhD courses, I still want to avail myself to at least educating people in what I have learned, and am still learning, about the who-what-where-how-and why a person could get influenced, infested, vexed, obsessed, oppressed, and ultimately, possessed-by one or more evil spirits.

I checked online in the last several days to see how much help there is out there, if a person truly was looking for good biblically-based counseling, especially when it comes to the issues above, and even such things as possible hauntings in their homes. I did not find any reputable Christian groups or organizations, save one of them that I’ve known of for almost a decade now, or even one person, except for the few exorcists I know of from Facebook and YouTube and Instagram. One of those exorcists at least has an online deliverance session. But that’s it.

The rest are mixed groups made up of all different types of faiths and various services, and use many ways of trying to combat the malevolent entities-some of which are not advisable or recommended, because they utilize pagan rituals and practices that are against God’s Word.

Here is my information if you would like to reach out to me for assistance, or at least to be pointed in the right direction for help in deliverance or if needed, exorcisms.

I put up a video post from the late Derek Prince-12 minutes long-that you can watch and learn a LOT from on my FB page. ✨I highly suggest ✨you pay attention to what he is saying in that short video.

There is a right way and a wrong way of handling these evil spirits. If a person chooses to (continue to) handle it in ways that are contrary to what God states in His Word, or what has been known to work for the Christian deliverance workers and exorcists, whether they are trying to do it on their own (which can be very dangerous if you really know not what you’re doing), or trusting in people who tend to utilize certain practices that ultimately may bring in more malevolent spirits, and make everything that much worse, the end result could be even more detrimental to the individual or family members (especially when it involves a place of residence) or worse, yet, fatal. 

It may just save a person’s physical life, as well as vastly improve their mental and emotional wellbeing, and ultimately their spiritual life with the Lord God, by taking the time to educate one’s self. Reach out to those such as myself and others, who go through the correct channels, and who are close to the Lord God Almighty, Who is the Most High God, and His Son-the Lord Jesus Christ-being His true servants, and who have been chosen and called into such positions, in order to help those who desperately need that spiritual cleansing, whether it is in a residential setting, or in their personal lives.

I pray that whoever reads this and needs help in any of these areas that I mentioned, makes the right decision and contact me to get the assistance they need. May the Lord strengthen you to do what is right for yourself and/or your family.🙏✡️❤️✝️🛡️⚔️📖✨

What’s In a Name, Especially a Family Name?

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

When I did my Ancestry search back in May of 2018, mainly because I am ADOPTED, I was hoping to find some siblings and other family members. I always left this part of my life, in the Lord’s hands, and figure IF and WHEN He wanted me to know anything about my biological family members, it would happen as HE willed it. I received the DNA test kit as a Mother’s Day gift that year (2018), and I knew it was time to find out whatever there was for me to discover about my family-good, bad, or otherwise.

One of the (many) blessings was finding family members who were alive and well, and willing to converse with me, either after I reached out to THEM, or they first reached out to ME.

One of those siblings happened to be my brother Chris on my bio father’s side. We met, and after a few years when I finally had a bit of time between school and moving, I wanted to finally change my name back to my maiden (family) name. I thought of incorporating my biological father’s name of GEIST in there, because it IS my family name, and it suits me exactly to WHO I am in Christ—GEIST = “ghost/spirit” in German. Many people a century or two ago with the GEIST name, would have a dove representing the HOLY SPIRIT, somewhere in their house, because of the association with their family name.

Anyone who knows me, and who I am in Christ, and being the servant of God that I am for Him, can easily see how much that was a “God Wink” connection between me and my family name.

So with the approval and blessing from my brother Chris, I took the last name and incorporated it into what would become my official name:
JEANNETTE -what my name was changed to (named after Jeannette DiCapua/DeMaio-my Nana), after I was officially adopted a year and a half after I was born, and was called:

My Godparents Bill and Helen (The “Elizabeth” name is cut out on the top)

ELIZABETH-my ORIGINAL birth name given to me by my biological mother Doris, before giving me up for adoption; so I took that name, and made it my MIDDLE name; taking that name of Elizabeth and using it as a middle name, allowed me to ❤️honor the woman who, despite many issues she had in her life, decided to give me life, and bless a family who could not have children, with a child. (McGRAW is my bio mom’s maiden family name)
GEIST—my biological name of my father, Robert, who I found out by my brother (and I actually have another brother Robert, who was named after our father) Chris, that he was a great ☺️dad, and an awesome cook!😋 Chris loved the idea of me using the family name, and that made it possible to honor my biological father that way.

MARCELLI—Rose and Ralph Marcelli tried to have children, but after a time, decided that it was not God’s will, and became foster parents. I was their third foster child they took in by Mid-March of 1965, after spending a couple of weeks in the hospital as “little orphan Elizabeth”😏; they already had two boys that were with them almost a year at that time, and desperately wanted a girl.
Ralph and Rose went through way too much red tape in this awful, demoncratic state (even way back then!) of NJ, to try and adopt me; they finally got the “green light” in September, 1966 to call me their own. After a year and a half of having to call me “Elizabeth/Lisa”, they finally changed my name to “Jeannette”. I was an official member of the Marcelli family, at least to them.
The MARCELLI surname means the world to me; THESE are the people who took me into their home, gave me their love, disciplined me, raised me to be a decent human being, treated me like their own flesh and blood child. I sure didn’t appreciate it all back when I was in my younger years (they both died within six months of each other, when I was 25/26 yrs old), but I miss them terribly now. I honor them by KEEPING the MARCELLI name alive and well. I may not have been a flesh and blood “Marcelli”, but I DID find out (and my parents would be THRILLED 😄😁at this!) via Ancestry a few years ago, that I DO have Italian blood in me, and —another God Wink—my ancestors are from around the SAME AREA😃as the Marcelli’s were (Naples)! How’s that for a GOD-MATCHED, HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED adoption?😉😄😁😏

Ralph and Rose Marcelli’s Wedding-September 17, 1960

Some may wonder why, after being divorced, and able to go back to my maiden name, why I would go that extra step and take all FOUR names—JEANNETTE ELIZABETH GEIST-MARCELLI—yes, it’s a mouthful, but there is MEANING behind each name.

Jeannette (female name for JOHN)-YOHANNAN-“God is gracious”, from Yah-the shortened name of the LORD, and the verb “hanan”, to be gracious. Obviously, this name is found all over the Scriptures, such as John the Baptist, John the Apostle, the father of Simon and Andrew, etc.

Elizabeth-the Hebrew name ELISHEVA (Ex. 6:23; Luke 1:5). The name is made up of two parts-the first (Eli) is “my God” and the second (sheva) is the number of holy attributes: “seven”. Put it together, and you get, “My God of the Seventh” (sounds like “sabbath-which is a holy day to be recognized by the LORD God).

Another meaning for that name “sheva” is “swear”, which I’ve seen mostly as “My God is my Oath/Promise”; also, “(In) My God (I) swear”.

Elizabeth = Elisheva and John = Yohannan

So there you go. A bit of a long explanation why I took my original birth name, both first and last, and incorporated it into my adopted first and last name—to give both sets of parents the honor due THEM, and to also recognize what the LORD GOD was trying to tell ME (finally), when that spiritual 💡💡lightbulb finally switched “on” fully, to understand WHO I AM in HIM. I am His DAUGHTER, one of many, and His SERVANT, because I finally (back in 2016) said “YES” to wholeheartedly following Him, hence the “title” if you will, on the address label.

So when I send out a birthday, Christmas, or some other type of card, or have to pay a bill, or whatever other type of correspondence that I have to make, my NEW address labels state THIS (and some of you have actually received something from me with the label ON it):

Servant of the Most High God
Jeannette Elizaabeth Geist-Marcelli

That is my WHOLE name; please use it, whenever you send correspondence to me. It means the world to me, because those who gave me LIFE, and those who RAISED me, meant the world to me, even though two of them, I never got to meet in this life. But I sure do appreciate what they did for me.

Thank you for reading this—I realize it was a longer post than usual.

Maybe you, the reader, should take the time and look up what the meaning of your names are; you may😉end up being quite surprised😄like I was!☺️

Pray Like Never Before, Beloved, For Those Perilous Times Are Upon Us

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

I woke up (as usual🙄🤦‍♀️) about two hours or so after I fell asleep. I got up and walked to my desk, and checked my phone; I noticed that there would be thunderstorms coming my way soon (around 2am). I tried to lay back down again, but because of what happened to the REAL President, Donald J. Trump, I could not help but vent to Abba for some time about it.


I know that “perilous times will come” (2 Tim. 3:1)–they are already here, along with the lawlessness that is abounding (Matt. 24:12). All the evil that we who CAN see what truly is going on, is just part of the pieces of the puzzle, that will eventually bring the Anti-Christ onto the world stage, to take over for SEVEN years (Dan. 9:27), bringing on the Tribulation.


What some people, even Christians, do not realize is–the FIRST SEAL OF JUDGMENT IS THE ANTICHRIST.


I am not here to mention anything about the Rapture or how or when it will happen (the Lord Jesus promised us He would take us Home with Him when it was time -Jn. 14:2-3- once He was done “preparing a place” for us), for no one knows that Day or Hour (Matt. 24:36)–just that it WILL eventually HAPPEN.


What I DO want to point out to you, especially to those who DO NOT BELIEVE, is that all who reject Jesus NOW, in 2023, and do NOT humble themselves and REPENT by the Time the LORD allows this FIRST SEAL OF THE 21 JUDGMENTS to be OPENED by the LORD JESUS CHRIST (the Lamb that was slain (Rev. 6:1-2)–those people, who are among our loved ones, friends, other family members, co-workers, etc., WILL BE DECEIVED INTO THINKING that this Anti-Christ IS the one who will save them from the world’s increasing economy and financial problems, social and political issues, etc.


They will end up BELIEVING A LIE–as they do now, by the very DEMONS who have helped them REFUSE and REJECT the Lord Jesus Christ into their lives–that this ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT LEADER–the ANTICHRIST–is going to solve ALL their problems.


🙏I stayed up and prayed for the next couple of hours, rebuking the enemies of our souls, asking the LORD to reveal Himself more to those who are BLIND and DEAF to Him, pleading with Him to do whatever it takes, to take their cold, stony hearts, and turn them into hearts of flesh (Jeremiah 36:26), so that they could SEE and UNDERSTAND that He LOVES them, and wants a relationship with THEM, and that they would finally accept the Lord Jesus into their lives, and ESCAPE the COMING JUDGMENTS.


🙏I ask YOU, dearly beloved, to do the same for your family and friends. Take out even an hour before you go to bed (or do as I did, if you wake up in the middle of the night), and PRAY mighty spiritual warfare prayers to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, asking the Godhead to allow those who still reject Him, to see Him in a new light, taking away the scales from their eyes, and unstopping their deaf ears to His Word, so that they may finally have a chance of eternal Life in and with Christ, for all Eternity.


The LORD is patient, but He WILL finish what He started several millennia ago. And the Time for the End is SOONER than we think.

I am Truly Never Alone; my Father is With Me Always

I just finished my Master’s Degree in Biblical Languages yesterday. I should have been there for the commencement at Liberty University, but I did not want to go alone. It is also Mother’s Day weekend, so emotionally for me, it ends up being a double “whammy”. I should be thrilled and excited to want to celebrate such events, but honestly, my heart is just not in it.

This is the second time I could have celebrated a major event in my life (last time was my Bachelor’s), but because for other reasons, I did not want to go to that commencement ceremony. Nevertheless, no one in my family did or said anything to celebrate the huge achievement with me. But I did hope that there would be a special dinner out with close family to celebrate such an event. It just did not happen. I was a bit surprised, but considering at the time all that happened that previous year (2020), I let it go. I figured there was so much more other things on everyone’s mind, it just was quickly forgotten by them and life moved on.

Now this major achievement has be accomplished, and although because I put something on social media to alert others to finishing my Master’s and I did receive many a congratulations, I fear the same thing will happen again—it will be here and gone without some type of celebration. Who wants to go to a graduation commencement all by themselves anyway?

Unfortunately, I do not have a spouse; my daughter stopped all communication with me last year (end of July), at first acting like she needed time to think about what needed to be said to me on whatever it was she was upset about, but never made a concerted effort to reconcile any differences with me. So I have lost both her and my grandson (soon to be 6 years old) in one fell swoop out of my life. It’s like the breath was taken out of me when that happened.

I have and continue to reach out to her to let her know I love and miss her so much, but so far, to no avail. I have also tried to keep in touch with my other family members, letting them know they are in my thoughts with either a card or text. I’d love to even talk to them on the phone, and have repeatedly said that they can call me whenever, but my phone hardly ever rings. At this point, I’d take a text of “hello” over nothing at all. It seems like from 2020 forward, Jesus’ words, “And because lawlessness will increase, The love of many will grow cold” (Matthew 24:12, ESV), really have come to pass. And it is not just in my family that this has been happening. I have heard it from many people that they are suffering similar heartbreaks in their families as well.

This Mother’s Day will be even a sadder one for me. I do have a step-daughter (I’d rather just call her my daughter) from a previous marriage, as well as a step-son. Since I am away this weekend due to an extended family member’s celebration, I am able to see my “oldest” daughter and her family, and be with her on Mother’s Day. It wasn’t planned to happen that way, but the Lord I know, had something to do with it. He knew of my sadness and broken heart, and made sure I would not be alone this weekend. He truly shows me all the time His love and concern for me.

I also am missing my mother Rose Marcelli. She passed back in April of 1991, but any child who has lost a mother can tell you it still feels like it was yesterday when they left this world. My mom always made sure that whether it was a birthday, holiday, etc., we were celebrating something, and together, especially going on family vacations together. They were awesome times, and I have so many good memories from them. If not just our immediate family, then it was a party with many family members gathered, so we could all celebrate together. I most certainly miss those days.

Most of my family is gone; all I have left are cousins. I will be able to see some of them actually later on today, as a matter of fact. It will be wonderful to see them at a happy event, rather than a sad one (usually wakes/funerals). I can only wish that we all would make a more concerted effort to stay in touch with one another. To have family is a gift from God, and to have the time to spend together with them should not be wasted.

Although I will be around many this weekend, and I am thankful to be invited to both a family party and backyard picnic, my thoughts will be also on those who I have lost, whether they are no longer here like my mom, or those who still are here physically, but do not have any desire to share their life with me any longer, like my daughter and her family. It continues to break my heart, but even the LORD God my Father reminds me now and then, that even as He cannot force Himself into a person’s life, neither can I do the same. Our love for those people will always be there, and never go away, even though they want nothing to do with us.

Would I have liked to celebrate my achievements with my friends and family, and gather us all together like my mom would have? Yes, but it certainly is not going to happen this weekend, nor the next, or the one after that. Is someone going to throw a party for me? No—my mom’s long gone, and I seriously doubt anyone else would step in and do something like that. I’d even would have just like to go to dinner with a bunch of people who care to be in my life. That would have been nice. But one day, hopefully some time this summer, maybe I can get some friends or family together, and we can have a nice day or evening out, celebrating not just my achievements, but all our lives, and just have a good time together.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of where the Lord Jesus said, “Give, and it shall be given unto you…” (Luke 6:38). This was not just about financial giving, but giving of yourself to others, in many different ways. You really do get blessed by giving to others, whether it be your money, your time, your kindness, etc.-whatever it happens to be. Somehow, the Lord makes sure it comes back to you, and in a greater amount. The giving part of it actually puts a smile on your face, knowing you are helping others in whatever capacity it is needed. I recently had an opportunity to do that. Suddenly, you forget (even if it is just for a minute or two) about that which saddens you, as you realize you just made someone else smile, knowing that you care about them enough to help them, or let them know you were thinking about them, or included them in a conversation, celebratory event, or even invite them out for a bite to eat. Just a card in the mail does wonders for a person; a lady friend of mine has a ministry of doing just that, and most of the time throughout the year, if it wasn’t for her thinking of me over the holidays and such (even my birthday) I would not receive any cards. Amazing how the Lord puts these people in our lives, to “fill the gap” of those who were there, and no longer are, for one reason or another.

So if you are reading this, and it strikes you one way or another, let me know. If you can relate, let me know. But we who have Christ in our lives must remember, that HE will NEVER leave nor forsake us, even if others do. He will always remember us, love us, care for us, encourage us, strengthen and comfort us, even if there was no one else in our lives. The Lord truly IS the One True Friend that sticks closer to us than a brother (or sister, mother, daughter, etc.).

On this Mother’s Day weekend, let us be thankful for who we do have in our lives, and remind them that they are loved and not forgotten. For those of us whose mothers have passed, I feel your sadness, pain, and the loneliness; BUT, some of us also do have some good memories of all the years we had our mothers in our lives. Let us keep those memories alive through the pictures we have of them, and all the times we had with them. But let us also thank the LORD God, His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, to move us forward in faith, hope and love, being the example of a child of God that we can possibly be for one another, as He desired us to be, for all those who we do have in our lives, whether they are a mother, father, sister, brother, spouse, best friend, cousin, etc. Showing our love to one another does wonders to the soul.
