Get Delivered and Set Free This New Year!

THIS here is an addiction chart from Association of Biblical Counselors, part of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, of which I am a member.

Courtesy of A.B.C.

THIS addiction chart is for ANY type of addiction a person may have; it starts with the pride/lust for whatever it is that the person thinks they must have. Following the path of decline in the chart, unfortunately picking up more demonic strongholds along the way (because in REALITY, that IS what they all are, no matter HOW they got there, or WHO let them “in” to that individual), the person not only becomes weaker and more susceptible to becoming a prisoner of the addiction, in the end, there is ALWAYS remorse, guilt, and could lead to destruction/death of that individual, IF they do NOT recognize their need for DELIVERANCE of those addictive strongholds.

IN THIS NEW YEAR, I wanted to start putting posts up 1-2 a month (on my professional FB page and/or blog page), or as many as the Holy Spirit leads me to, about the many different ways humans allow themselves to have strongholds, and the several enticing paths that the enemy of our souls deceptively lead humans down, to become CAPTIVES of those strongholds, making them feel like there is no way out.

Those strongholds come into a person FIRST through the THOUGHTS in their minds–the FIERY DARTS (Eph. 6:16, KJV) that Satan and the demonic entities entice a person with. Those “fiery darts” most of the time are something of an “Achille’s heel” to a person, whether it be alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gluttony, etc.

The evil ones KNOW us better than we know ourselves. They have been here for several MILLENNIA, watching, observing, “taking notes”, and knowing just how to STRIKE at their “opponent”–the human being, BECAUSE we are made in the image of the Most High God (Genesis 1:26-27).

BUT FIRST, I must address a very GRAVE and serious issue that I have come to realize within the Body of Christ, when it comes to the written ✡️📖✝️Word of God.

It’s one thing for a human being that has no desire to believe or heed the Word of God. They automatically deny everything about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit when that individual aligns themselves with any other god/cult/false religion that exists in this demonically infested world we live in.

The LORD God, since the days of Genesis and the Garden of Eden, HAS ALLOWED us human beings to CHOOSE whether or not we will give allegiance to HIM and His Word, or, to follow our own fleshly desires, and continue on the path of destruction, which unfortunately leads to what is called the eternal “second death” in the Lake of 🔥Fire (see Revelation 20:11-15).

THE ONLY WAY to escape that, is to ACKNOWLEDGE and REPENT of one’s sins, ACCEPT the LORD JESUS CHRIST as BOTH Savior AND LORD of their lives, and–very important–seek to be DELIVERED and SET FREE from any and all spiritual strongholds and bondages that have been in their lives, keeping them from living the purposeful life in Christ, that the LORD God destined for each and every human being.

EACH and every person MUST be tested, just like Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. The LORD God Elohim ALLOWED that serpent–(HaSatan/Lucifer/the devil–see Isaiah 14:12-14, Ezekiel 28:13-16; Rev. 12:9) to TEMPT Earth’s first human beings.
What was now being disguised as a Serpent to Adam and Eve became rebellious in his service and ministry to the LORD God (he WAS an anointed Guardian Cherub of the rank of the supernatural entities called Cherubim in the Kingdom of Heaven)

I know that even many Christians cannot wrap their heads around the BIBLICAL FACT that the LORD God HAS ALLOWED the evil ones SUCH as HaSatan, to “roam about, seeking whom they may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). It is not only to TEST us, but to also see where our ALLEGIANCE lies–whether it be with the Most High God and taking Him at His Word, OR–aligning oneself to one or more of the gods of this world, that the LORD God told us in His commandments to “have no other gods before/besides Me” (Ex. 20:3); nor are we to have made any pagan carved images of those gods, and then pray and worship them (Ex. 20:4-5) instead of the Most High God. The LORD was very plain in His speech throughout the Old and New Testaments, that NO OTHER GODS were to come before HIM and usurp His authority in any way.

But even Christians have allowed those demonic entities to fool them in one way or another, and deceive them into not only acknowledging, but some have even served AND worshipped, those demonic entities that parade around as gods TO THIS DAY. As absurd as it sounds, we see it happening all around us–many so-called faith leaders have done EXACTLY what the OT prophets, the Lord Jesus, the apostles John, Paul, and Peter warned us that they would do in the coming last days–depart from the true Faith, and be turned to idols, false teachers (2 Cor. 11:13; 2 Peter 2:1), false Christs (Matt. 24:24), false prophets (Matt. 7:15; 24:11; Mk. 13;22), and false gods (Jer. 14:22; 18:15; Zech. 10:2), leading them to their eternal death and destruction (Rev. 20:10-15).

WE ARE to TEST these spirits (1 John 4:1-3), to see whether they are true or false! It’s obvious that MANY human beings have to their eternal detriment, NOT tested those spirits, and have aligned themselves with such false teachers, prophets, gods, etc.

WE ARE LIVING in the days that 2 Timothy spoke about when it comes to having to preach the word when it is NOT welcomed in the increasingly demonic and fleshly-ruled world system we live in–“For the TIME is coming (and IS NOW HERE!) when people will NOT endure sound (spiritually healthy) teaching, but HAVING ITCHING EARS they will accumulate to themselves teachers (false teachers!) to SUIT THEIR OWN passions, TURNING AWAY from listening to the TRUTH (of God’s Word!) and wander off into MYTHS (lies of the devil)” (see 2 Tim. 4:1-5 for the entire passage in context).

Even church leaders from all the different splintered sects try and either dismiss God’s ✡️📖✝️written Word, ignoring what He has said, or worse yet, break the commandment written in Deuteronomy 4:2–“You shall NOT add to the word that I command you, NOR take from it, that you may KEEP the commandments of the LORD your God that I COMMAND YOU.”

In other words, DON’T PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO BELIEVE IN THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD’S WRITTEN ✡️📖✝️WORD (see Acts 20:27).

I would also like to add here, the warning given by the Apostle John in Revelation 18-19, which solidifies and backs up Deuteronomy 4:2–(I obviously added the emojis for effect):

(v18)”I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: ✨if anyone adds ✨to them, God will add to him the 💥plagues 💥described in this book, (v19) and if ✨anyone takes away ✨from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will 💥take away 💥his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City, which are described in this 📖book.”

The blatant disrespect for God’s Word, and the rebellious ways I have seen and heard some so-called “Christian” churches in the 21st century handle God’s Word (truly most of them are the Laodicean churches mentioned in Revelation 3:14-19!)–it is only BY the LORD Jesus’ blood that HE shed on the Cross for us ALL, that keeps certain individual church leaders ALIVE, allowing them to WAKE UP the next day, in order to REPENT before God’s mercy ENDS for them!!

Those rabbinical and church leaders seem to forget (and I won’t put all those biblical verses here–you can look it up for yourselves) just HOW MUCH they are going to be held RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for NOT heeding the Word of God themselves, AND also, for not TEACHING and PREACHING the whole counsel of God to their congregations! As the Lord Jesus Himself said, “Everyone to whom MUCH was given, of him MUCH MORE will be required…” (Luke 12:48).

Those servants of God who dared to preach and teach His Word, YET, who instead of led MILLIONS (and for those false teachers/prophets/cult leaders–BILLIONS) to their eternal death, BECAUSE they refused to HUMBLY ADHERE TO and PREACH the whole counsel of God, THEIR ETERNAL DESTINATION will be the LAKE 🔥of 🔥FIRE, UNLESS THEY REPENT.

I am making this a LONG post THIS time on purpose, in order take the time out to make you, the reader, realize HOW SERIOUS it is to take God’s Word AS TRUTH, especially if you call yourself a “Christian”. This will stay on my page, and I will also add it to my blog page (see my bio for link), so others can see and read it, in order to go back and reference all the Scriptural verses as I present many more posts that deal with all types of demonic doorways, infiltrations, infestations into people’s lives, vexations, obsessions, oppressions, and sometimes even possessions (that can only be dealt with the person being exorcised and delivered by professional exorcists and deliverance workers by that point).

The Holy Spirit is the one SINCE the time of PENTECOST (Acts 2), to DWELL IN and work THROUGH every person who TRULY has “called upon the name of the LORD to be saved” (Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21). It is HE, the same SPIRIT, Who works IN and through ME (see Act 2:38)–and every other true servant of the Most High God, BECAUSE that is the GIFT we all receive when we become true children of God. He SPEAKS to all those WILLING to HEAR what He has to say (see such verses as Eze. 3:27; Matt. 11:15; Mk. 4:23; Rev. 2:7, 11; 3:6; 13:9).

The Holy Spirit, Who is GOD in the THIRD PERSON of the TRIUNE GODHEAD, is responsible for CONVICTING (see Jn. 16:8), teaching, correcting, chastising, comforting, encouraging, emboldening, etc. (see Jn. 14:16-17, 26; 15:26-27; 16:13) each and every CHILD of GOD that confesses Jesus as Lord (see Jn. 3:3, 5, 7; Jn. 1:12).

WE who confess to be children of the Most High God and our Lord Jesus Christ–our bodies become HIS TEMPLE (see 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19; Eph. 2:21) that the LIVING SPIRIT of GOD dwells in.

HOPEFULLY now you will realize how serious it is to not only call yourself a Christian, but more importantly, to BELIEVE and ACCEPT (even though we do NOT understand ALL that God says and does in His Word and in our daily faith walk with Him–we cannot possibly understand it all–see Isaiah 55:8-9) the WHOLE COUNSEL of His Word, TRUSTING that in time, the Spirit (if you give Him the opportunity TO speak to you) WILL teach and explain these things to you, that you do not comprehend in God’s Word.

IN ORDER for a person to completely be SET FREE and DELIVERED from any and all mental (because it always starts with those fiery darts!), emotional, physical, and obviously SPIRITUAL demonic bondages, a person MUST HUMBLE THEMSELVES, forsake ANY and ALL other false belief systems/pagan practices/gods, etc. –EVEN the false or exaggerated traditions that have transpired in certain Christian churches/circles, etc.–REPENT of our sins (see Romans 3:10,20, 23; 6:23) CONFESS those sins (Rom. 10:9-10), calling upon the name of the LORD to be saved (Rom. 10:13), and ALLOW the LORD God through the HOLY SPIRIT to CLEANSE you from your sins (see 1 John 1:9) through CONFESSION of them, WASH you in the WATER of God’s Word (see Eph. 5:26), rid you of all those evil, demonic strongholds that have been keeping you deaf, dumb, and blind to God’s truth in His Word.

ONCE you truly do that, you WILL be a child of God; you WILL have “put off the works of darkness and (have) put on the armor of light (Rom. 13:12), and MOST importantly, having the HOLY SPIRIT of God IN you, to work THROUGH you, you would have then “…put on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and make no provision for the FLESH, to gratify its desires” (Rom. 13:14) in you any longer!!

ONCE an individual has “put on” and IN themselves, the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives, they THEN will receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh–the HOLY SPIRIT to DWELL IN them (and ONLY then, will they receive Him–that is how you know WHO truly is a child of the King–by the spiritual CHANGES that happen in their lives!). That person WILL allow their spirit, soul (mind, will, intellect), AND body (see 1 Thessalonians 5:23 to see that we ARE made up OF PRIMARILY, spirit, THEN soul, THEN our fleshly COVERING–NOT the opposite way like the demonic world makes humans think it is!) to come under the RULE of the HOLY SPIRIT, Who is ONE with the FATHER and the SON.

EPHESIANS 4:4-6 spell it out for us as well how we are to be ONE with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, AND HIS WORD–that CANNOT be left out–(after all, does John 1:1,14 tell us plainly that CHRIST IS THE literal and living WORD OF GOD?) –and I’ll end the post with this passage, and interject within the passage as well:

“There is ONE BODY and ONE SPIRIT (any other spirit that exists in a person’s body is a DEMONIC SPIRIT)–just as you were CALLED to the ONE HOPE (JESUS) that belongs to your call–
ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD and Father of ALL, Who is over all, and THROUGH all, and IN ALL (of His children).”

Are You Willing to Finally Trust in God‘s Word in Order for Him to Set You Free?

I can’t tell you how much of a blessing it is to be used by the Lord God to attempt to help those suffering with spiritual bondages and demonic strongholds to BREAK FREE through the power of God’s Word, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

I have written about and shared many of my spiritual experiences in my life, the good, the bad, and the ugly ones! The Lord allowed certain spiritual experiences to happen to me so it would ready me for the calling He had on my life. Once I finally accepted that calling, He continued to prepare me even more with the knowledge, understanding, even more personal experiences, so that one day I would finally be as ready as I could be to help those who suffer with spiritual issues and demonic bondages.

BUT— the biggest obstacle that stands in the way from a human being having that supernatural breakthrough and those chains off of them mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, and physically—is finally ACCEPTING the REALITY of the SPIRITUAL REALM in this world, and realizing that MOST of the continual issues and struggles that we humans go through, are of a SPIRITUAL NATURE.

Why spiritual? Because we are CREATED beings, that are primarily SPIRIT—that have a SOUL (mind, will, intellect), and are covered with a fleshly BODY.

The LAST THING that the devil, his angels, and the demonic unclean spirits that roam about this world, “SEEKING WHOM THEY MAY DEVOUR” want us humans to realize and accept, is that THEY ARE REAL REAL, and THEY are the ROOT of most of our problems in this world!

If we decided to take the Word of God seriously, and even believe and accept all that is said about the spiritual realm in the Scriptures— even the very things that the Lord Jesus himself spoke of— we would then have a greater understanding and opportunity to COMBAT these spiritual evil forces within our own individual lives, as well as what is going on in this world, and finally we would be able to DEFEAT THEM WITH THE POWER AND AUTHORITY THAT WAS GIVEN TO US IN GOD’S WORD BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!

No matter what that spiritual stronghold is, we would be able to defeat it, and be overcomers in the name of Jesus! Little by little, us humans could finally take back our lives and live victoriously and confidently in this world, having God’s 📖Word leading and guiding us, and protecting us from those evil ones!!

But the sad truth is — most people, even Christians, refuse to acknowledge what the Bible says about the spiritual realm, and basically call the Lord God a LIAR by NOT TAKING HIM AT HIS📖WORD.

What about you? Are you finally willing to accept God’s 📖 Truth, and take back your life and be SET FREE from those spiritual bondages? 🙏✝️

The Passover Lamb Fulfills the Spring Feasts

OK–I tried to send this out on Holy Thursday, and when I tell you that not only did it mysteriously “disappear” while I was writing it out, but THEN, my whole computer was acting up so much, I had to shut it down and restart it a few times over. Long story short (and by this time, after “checking” ✅all the “logical” boxes to see what was wrong, I knew this was the work of the evil ones, not just some weird computer glitch)–I ended up having to RESET my WINDOWS on the computer🤦‍♀️😫!! I was soooooo ticked off!

As all of that was happening, I was reminded by the Spirit that “This IS the time of the Black Sabbath sacrifices–remember?”😯🤔–Yep–I knew it, but I honestly try NOT to “go there” mentally, but instead concentrate on all that’s going on with Holy Week, and then Tridium. BUT–the evil ones😠somehow had the “ability” and were allowed to mess with my computer, and did just that to tick me off, and NOT send this out when I wanted to.😒

BUT–here it is NOW; I always😉was a very persistent child, which the Lord loves about me–I’m not a quitter. I’ll get the job done, even if there are blockades in the way.

PLEASE take the time out to watch this video by “So Be It”–Jewish believers in Yeshua; it is an EXCELLENT video, and explains more than what I went through here.

The MAIN THINGS I wanted to share and POINT OUT to you in this video that obviously the evil ones HATE to have people finally understand, are these:

Exodus 12:3-6; and also 7-13 —PESACH/PASSOVER comes from THIS passage, which happened after the 10 plagues. The LORD instructed his people to apply the BLOOD OF THE LAMB on the doorpost and lintels of their homes, to PROTECT them from the Angel of the LORD who was to strike down the 1st born male in each family (10th plague).

JOHN 1:29–John the Baptist sees his cousin Jesus come toward him, and John then shouted out, “BEHOLD the LAMB of GOD, Who takes away the SIN of the world!”

✨✨JESUS was crucified ON PASSOVER, which is the FIRST NIGHT ONLY in the week of THREE DIFFERENT SPRING FEASTS✨✨–I’ll get to that amazing information in a bit…

📖REVELATION 5:6,12 and 13:8 speaks of a LAMB Who was slain, and those in Heaven at that time sing praises to Him saying, “Worthy is the LAMB Who was SLAIN…” It also speaks of how whoever takes the mark of the Beast/AntiChrist, THEIR NAMES will NOT be “in the book of LIFE of the LAMB Who was SLAIN” (Rev. 13:8).

YESHUA WAS that PESACH/PASSOVER LAMB, Who gave His life up for ALL of His Creation. As the very popular but true verse says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that WHOSOEVER believes IN Him (Yeshua) should NOT perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE” (Jn. 3:16).

He IS the living📖WORD of God (Jn. 1:1,14) Who was with the Father and the Holy Spirit AT the CREATION of the WORLD (Genesis 1:1, Colossians 1:16), because in Colossians 1:15 St. Paul the Apostle STATES that “HE (Yeshua) is the IMAGE (that means one can SEE Him!) of the INVISIBLE GOD (the Father), the FIRSTBORN of all creation.” That does NOT mean He was the first to be CREATED, because not only IS the Lord Jesus ONE (Echad) with the Father and the Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit AT the time of Creation, verse 16 SPELLS it out for the reader that “FOR BY HIM (JESUS)ALL THINGS were CREATED, in HEAVEN (that means the angels, other supernatural celestial beings, etc.) and on EARTH (humans, animals, plants, the EARTH itself, etc.) VISIBLE and INVISIBLE—“

In Colossians verse 19 it stated, “For IN HIM (JESUS) ALL the FULNESS of GOD was pleased to DWELL (just like the HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS in EACH CHILD OF GOD that has repented and accepted Christ as their LORD and SAVIOR).

EMMANUEL = GOD WITH US–it’s RIGHT THERE, folks!

and PLEASE try and UNDERSTAND THIS NEXT PART—“…whether THRONES or DOMINIONS or RULERS or AUTHORITIES–✨those are the angelic hierarchy that the TRIUNE GODHEAD created–they are mentioned in both the OLD and NEW TESTAMENTS, especially in the letters of Paul.

The ANGELS–both GOOD and EVIL (and their offspring!) play a HUGE PART in ALL that has been going on in this world SINCE Genesis 3 took place–the FALL of mankind in the Garden of Eden. I’ll speak more about that again at another time, God willing. I just wanted to point that out to you, because of what PAUL said in verse 20 of Colossians–
“and THROUGH HIM (Jesus) to reconcile to Himself ALL THINGS, whether on Earth OR IN ✨HEAVEN✨(because of the fallen angels that sinned, and helped to deceive mankind into thinking they didn’t need to worship the Most High God alone, but could worship no god [atheistic] or any number of gods [polytheism] as many of them did back then, and TO THIS DAY), making PEACE by the BLOOD 🩸OF HIS ✝️CROSS.”

GETTING BACK to the THREE DIFFERENT SPRING FEASTS
Any one of my Jewish friends can attest this to be true!

“Passover” is the general term for the EIGHT DAYS of the THREE feasts; the FIRST night is “Erev Pesach” (Passover Eve) —
✨PESACH/PASSOVER is technically only on the FIRST DAY-when the sacrifice of the LAMBS are being done (that’s the DAY when Jesus was crucified–“Good Friday”, which was a high holiday Shabbat);—see 1 Corinthians 15:3;
✨FEAST of UNLEAVENED BREAD is the remaining days in the week; –see 1 Corinthians 15:4a (Christ buried in the tomb on that Friday night–remaining in there throughout all day Saturday)
✨FEAST of FIRST FRUITS is the DAY after Shabbat, right after the Feast of Unleavened Bread–THIS DAY of FIRST FRUITS is SUNDAY (for us this year, April 20th)–which coincides with RESURRECTION SUNDAY–hence the Lord Jesus gathering the FIRST FRUITS of all the OT saints waiting in the “Paradise Section” of SHEOL! –see 1 Corinthians 15:4a

AND–to have more Scripture back THAT up, especially all those saints being RESURRECTED along with the Lord Jesus–see Matthew 27:52-53–
“The TOMBS also were opened. And MANY BODIES of the SAINTS who had fallen asleep (died) were RAISED, and ✨COMING OUT ✨OF THE TOMBS after ✨HIS (JESUS’) RESURRECTION they went INTO THE HOLY CITY (Jerusalem) and APPEARED✨📖to many.”

THAT is the FEAST of FIRST FRUITS coming to PASS right there, along with the PASSOVER LAMB Who was SLAIN, being RESURRECTED from His tomb, the Mashiach YESHUA–the LION of the TRIBE of JUDAH (Rev. 5:5) Who
ONE DAY WILL RETURN (Rev. 19:11), because He promised, “Behold, I WILL MAKE ALL THINGS NEW” (Rev. 21:5).

BUT REST ASSURED–ALL things that have been 📖prophesied in the Scriptures by the ✡️MOST HIGH GOD, first MUST come to pass.
That means, ALL that is written in REVELATION 6-18–the 21 JUDGMENTS that will befall this Earth, unfortunately WILL COME TO PASS.

MANY SOULS will be tested to finally accept the Lord Jesus in those days of the AntiChrist’s 7-year reign. BUT–many also will NOT accept the Lord Jesus, and take the Mark of the Beast (Rev. 13:16-17)–when they do that, their souls will perish, and not even the Lord will be able to save them once they side with the AntiChrist.

I know this was LONG, but I want you all to please try and understand how the PIECES of the VERY BIG PUZZLE of the 📖SCRIPTURES can be “put together” to understand it better. The Lord does have His “mysterious ways” about Him–believe 🙄you me, I know. I’m constantly trying to “figure” Him out, and it’s impossible. BUT–because I SEEK HIM as the Scriptures tell us to, He has graciously allowed me to learn things that most have not taken the time out to learn, know, and understand.

BUT–now that I have that knowledge, I must SHARE it. I’m not the only one–that’s for sure, but I am responsible to share what I know, as well as every other child of the King of kings who has been given the responsibility and privilege of studying His Word, especially in the ancient languages.

I pray you and your family have a WONDERFUL and BLESSED rest of PESACH, and RESURRECTION SUNDAY!✡️📖✝️

NEW YEAR, NEWNESS of LIFE in CHRIST

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

HAPPY New Year, everyone!

WHAT a year it has BEEN! I don’t know about you all, but the last four months or so were “nail-biting”—not knowing what the LORD God was going to allow the United States to go through—another four years of hell, sending us into a depression (we ARE in a recession NOW), or, would He have an extra dose of MERCY on the U.S, and allow a true leader who cares for our country, to finally (once again) take over?

No one really knew what to think for a while. But thankfully, many people made the right decision on November 5th, and in a few weeks, this nation will be in the hands of President Donald J. Trump once again, with First Lady Melania Trump at his side. Honestly, most of us in this nation (including many who never thought they’d vote for him, but they did because they love this country and the freedoms we have here!) will breath a BIG sigh of relief once the Trumps move back into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

As far as what has been going on SPIRITUALLY, in my short almost-60 years here on this planet, I have NEVER seen so much demonic activity as I have in these last four years!! What an uptick it has been since the time of the “lockdown” in 2020. When you deal with the supernatural as much as I do, you cannot help but notice those type of things. Some exorcists I follow online (FB, YT) have said the same thing—evil has definitely increased, and just because there will be a new “sheriff” in town at the White House, doesn’t mean that those who are propagating that evil, will take a few steps back and cool their jets. Unfortunately, it most likely will be the opposite that happens.

But nevertheless, the LORD GOD MOST HIGH is, and always been, ON His Throne, with His Son, the Lord Jesus at His right Hand, and the Holy Spirit dwelling in His true believers—those who have accepted Him as their Savior and Lord, and allow HIS SPIRIT to rule in and through them.

For those who walk in that “newness of life” in Christ (see pic), we know that ultimately it is HE-the HOLY SPIRIT Who not only reigns IN us, but works THROUGH us (Jn. 16:13; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 3:16; 6:16,19; Gal. 4:6; 2 Tim. 1:14) in many different ways. It is THROUGH US, God’s children, that He works, to get His Word out there to the lost and dying evil world system that has engulfed humanity to the point of the evil ones seeking, killing and destroying (Jn. 10:10) every last one of us, IF those demonic entities could go so far. Thankfully, they cannot, because of the restraining power of the Holy Spirit (2 Thess. 2:6-8) that currently is in this world, UNTIL the “man of sin”—the AntiChrist, is allowed by the LORD God to rule for a short time at the End of Days.

The ONE main thing we children of God must remember on this, the first day of 2025 and going forward into this year, is what the Apostle Paul stated in the above verse from Romans 6:4. Christ’s death on the Cross led to Him being RESURRECTED, so that WE who are His (Ephesians 2:9-10; John 1:12; Galatians 3:26), have also been born again spiritually, (Jn. 3:3,5,7), made into a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and have His Spirit AND His Word IN us, in order TO keep us from sinning (1Jn. 2:1; Gal. 5:16; Ps. 19:12-13; 119:9-11). THEN, as we grow IN the Lord and have the Holy Spirit rule and reign within us, we WILL be victorious in walking IN that “newness of LIFE” that has been made alive in us by belief and FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ and His 📖Word!❤️

I pray that 2025 will be a renewed time of grace, mercy, peace, health, and prosperity for each and every one of you. And for those who have yet to seek the Lord Jesus out, my prayer for you is that you SEEK and FIND Him TODAY, because when you DO diligently SEEK Him out, you WILL find Him (Deut. 4:29; 1 Chron. 16:11; Ps. 9:10; Jeremiah 29:13; Matt. 6:33; Heb. 11:6). Remember, as it is WRITTEN, “The LORD is GOOD to those who WAIT for Him, to the soul who SEEKS Him” (Lamentations 3:25). It is WHEN we truly SEEK Him we FIND Him, and only then when we will finally walk in that NEWNESS of LIFE in Him here, and for all ✨Eternity✨. 🙏🏼❤️📖✝️

Happy Resurrection Sunday! The Lord Jesus LIVES!

Happy ✨Resurrection ✨Sunday, beloved!🙌📖✝️

While the woke part of the world may be celebrating the demonic “Transgender Visibility Day”(of course, of ALL DAYS-the evil elite choose TODAY to do that-no 😡coincidence!),

WE who are Christians celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord JESUS CHRIST-the SAVIOR of the world, and Who has defeated DEATH and HELL(Rev. 20:13-14)!🙌✝️🕊️

He made a way for us back to the ✡️Father-giving ALL of us another opportunity at Eternal Life. 🙏✨🌈

All a person has to do, is:

CALL upone the Name of the LORD to be saved (Joel 2:32; Ps. 124:8; Zeph. 3:9; Rom. 10:13)

REPENT of their sins ( Is. 44:22; 59:2; Matt. 3:2; Acts 2:38; 3:19; Rom. 3:10, 23),

humbly ASK for forgiveness (Mk. 11:25; Luke 17:3-4; 23:34; Ps. 51:10; Col. 3:13),

ACKNOWLEDGE the Lord Jesus as both SAVIOR and LORD of their lives (Rom. 6:23; 10:9-10; Jn. 3:16; Acts 16:31, Jn. 14:6)

WHOLEHEARTEDLY commit to being His child (Jn. 1:12) and invite the
HOLY SPIRIT to DWELL IN you to lead, guide, teach, correct, strengthen, and comfort you (Ezekiel 36:26-27; Jn. 3:3,5,7; Acts 1:8; 2:38; Jn. 14:17, 26; 15:26; 16:13; 1Cor. 3:16; 6:19; Eph. 1:13-14; Titus 3:5; Rom. 5:5; 8:16, 26-27; Gal. 4:6; Mk. 4:9, 23; Luke 14:35; Rev. 2:7; 3:6, 13:9)—so make SURE you HEAR HIS VOICE speaking to you!!

🙏✡️📖✝️🕊️ONE BODY, ONE SPIRIT, ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM=
ONE GOD and FATHER OF ALL!!! (Eph. 4:4-6)🙌✨🌈

NOW more than ever, a true believer of the MOST HIGH GOD will be tested, because these days are evil (Eph. 5:16), and increasing in evil. (Ps. 14:1; Micah 7:2; Is. 5:20; Ps. 12:1; 2 Tim. 3:1-2; 2 Tim. 4:1-5).

STAND as a true servant and warrior of God (Eph. 6:10-18) WITH THE LORD JESUS, and He WILL rescue and 🙏deliver us from all the evil (Ps. 71:4; 140:1; Jer. 15:21; Matt. 6:13; Gal. 1:4; 2 Thess. 3:2; and the last one I will write out—(2Tim. 4:18):
“The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to HIM be the glory FOREVER and EVER—Amen.”

Does Not the LORD GOD desire for ALL To Be Saved, and None to Perish? YES!

Sometimes I feel like the Apostle Paul, with how long these posts are getting–like I am writing a letter, begging the people to listen and consider to have the Lord in their lives, as he did to the Corinthians, Ephesians, Galatians, etc.

I apologize that it is so long, but when the Holy Spirit SPEAKS through me, I cannot limit Him to a certain amount of words. I let Him speak, because I too, realize more and more, how SHORT our Time here on Earth is, and where the increasing evil is taking us to–the time of the Anti-Christ, and the horrible times that the Word of God speaks about in Daniel, the Gospels, Joel, and especially, Revelation, just to name a few books about the Great Tribulation period at the end of Days. So here it is…

What I can I say, that I have not yet said, when it comes to looking at ourselves, and being RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for our own words and actions?

I included several verses from Chapter 18 of Ezekiel in the pictures that this devotional speaks on today, besides verse 31.

I am also going to try and help EXPLAIN what it means to go from a heart of STONE (sin) to a heart of FLESH = pliable, having ears that are WILLING to “hear what the Spirit has to say” (Ez. 3:27; Matt. 11:15; Mk. 4:9, Lk 8:8; Rev. 13:9).

It is imperative that we as created beings who are sinners, realize that we must REPENT (Ps. 7:12; Jer. 5:3; Ez. 14:6; 18:30; Matt. 3:2; 4:17; 11:20; Mk. 1:15; Lu. 13:3; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30; Rev. 2:16; 2:21) for those sins; and IF we do, the LORD God WILL forgive us. He did not allow His Son to suffer through so much pain and go to the Cross, taking upon Himself OUR sins, for nothing.

But humans must ACKNOWLEDGE their sins, and RID themselves of them–“cast away from you ALL the transgressions that YOU have committed…” (vs 31) What will happen IF and WHEN we REPENT of those sins? Will the LORD truly forgive us? Will He seriously save us from those eternal Fires?

YES–because His Word is true (Ps. 18:30) and just–LOOK at what it says at the last part of that same verse (31):

“…and make for yourselves a NEW HEART and a NEW SPIRIT…”–
🤔Gee, where did we see similar verses like that before?

Ezekiel 36:26 states (and the LORD GOD is speaking here), “And I WILL GIVE YOU a NEW HEART, and a NEW SPIRIT I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of STONE (unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness, anger, hatred = sin) from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU…(vs 27)”

Let’s jump over to the NT in the Gospel of John, when the Lord Jesus was speaking with Nicodemus about the new birth, in verses 3-8, concentrating on verses 3,5, and 7-I’ll put those three verses here:

“Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, UNLESS one is BORN AGAIN he cannot see the Kingdom of God” (vs. 3).

“Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of WATER (baptism) and the SPIRIT (confession of sins = REPENTENCE, calling upon the name of the LORD to be SAVED -Joel 2:32, Rom. 10:13), he CANNOT ENTER the Kingdom of God” (vs. 5).

“Do NOT marvel that I said to you, ‘You MUST be BORN AGAIN’ “(vs. 7).

It is the SPIRIT OF MAN that was “connected” to the LORD GOD when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, BEFORE they sinned, and could have COMMUNION with the Most High–seeing Him, speaking to Him, etc. There was NO SIN separating man from God at that point. Mankind is MADE IN THE IMAGE of GOD (Gen. 1:26-27); we are essentially (and in THIS ORDER!) SPIRIT (an eternal being that NEVER DIES), SOUL (our minds, will, and intellect), and FLESH (the covering that encases our spirit and souls, and meshes with and protects the vital organs, muscles, nerves, bones, etc.).

The problem is, ONCE Adam and Eve SINNED, that broke that SPIRITUAL “connection” and “fellowship” with the LORD GOD (who I will TELL YOU–whether you believe it or not, that’s up to you), who was JESUS HIMSELF as a CHRISTOPHANY (because they could see Him, and speak with Him), while they were IN the Garden of Eden with Him. The Lord had no choice but to drive them out of the Garden of Eden because of their sins, breaking that spiritual bond with Him, and also–He did NOT want them to take of the Tree of LIFE, eat that fruit, and then eternally have no opportunity for redemption and salvation (which Genesis 3:15 hints to us that the LORD God already had a plan in the works for that).

The Lord Jesus provided a WAY for us to have that “spiritual connection” “repaired” or “re-established” in us humans, by allowing US to have FREE WILL CHOICE (just like the sons of God and Adam and Eve had) to either ACCEPT or REJECT Him and His Word (remember–the Lord ✝️Jesus IS THE LITERAL WORD 📖OF GOD!). Hence the term in John 3:3, 7 where the Lord Jesus states, “born AGAIN”. The “connection” to the Spirit of God that was no longer there in us humans due TO the sins mankind committed at the Fall, COULD BE “reconnected” or BORN AGAIN within a person BECAUSE that person CHOOSES LIFE in the Lord Jesus = GOD=that selfsame SPIRIT of GOD (see 1 Cor. 12; 2Cor. 3:18), Who then LIVES WITHIN the human spirit, soul, and body, and LEADS and GUIDES them, as LONG as they WHOLEHEARTEDLY accept the Lord as both SAVIOR and LORD of their lives. The Holy Spirit will then RULE over THEIR human spirit, and teach, lead, correct, chastise, rebuke (lovingly!), comfort, encourage, etc. them for the rest of their days here on Earth.

You are not part of a certain “church group” with that term–EVERY PERSON WHO CALLS UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD AND HIS SON FOR SALVATION, REDEMPTION, AND DELIVERANCE (also very important–to get rid of any and all demonic interference and infestations the person allowed IN their lives!) THEN WILL HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLING IN THEM!!! GET IT OUT OF YOUR SKULLS, PEOPLE–YOUR DENOMINATIONS WILL NOT SAVE YOU–ONLY THE LORD GOD AND HIS SON WILL!! I WILL NOT HAVE JUST ONE “DENOMINATION” OVER ANOTHER–I HAVE NO DENOMINATIONS IN HEAVEN–THERE IS BUT THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, WITH ALL THE HOLY ANGELS, CREATURES, AND THOSE WHO HAVE THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB ON THEM, WHO ARE PART OF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND WHO HAVE BEEN GRAFTED INTO THE COVENANT I MADE WITH ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB!

🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️OH–IF YOU HATE MY PEOPLE, YOU HATE ME, AND I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. YOU WILL FIND YOURSELVES IN THE ETERNAL FIRES, WAILING AND GNASHING YOUR TEETH, FOR YOU WERE NOT PART OF THE TRUE INHERITANCE THAT I CHOSE FOR MYSELF, WHICH IS ISRAEL! MY DELIVERER–YESHUA–WHO IS ONE WITH ME (see Jn. 17:21,23; Eph. 4:4-6) CAME OUT OF THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, WHO HAD ISAAC, WHICH PRODUCED JACOB–WHO IS ISRAEL!! 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

🙏📖For ALL that would say something like, “Lord Jesus, I am a sinner; I know that I have said and done things that I am ashamed of. I ask You and the Father, and the Holy Spirit, to please FORGIVE ME of ALL my sins, and I ask You to CLEANSE and WASH me clean, with the water of Your Word, which I promise that I will learn to read, study, trust and OBEY, with Your help. PLEASE ALLOW the HOLY🕊️ SPIRIT to come INTO me, as it says in Your Word that He will (Jn. 3:5, 14:26, 16:13), and let Him LEAD, GUIDE, and TEACH me all that You want me to know. Bring to my remembrance ALL those things in Your 📖WORD, that I should be doing, so that I NO LONGER CHOOSE TO SIN. If I do make a mistake and sin, I know that I can come to YOU, and the Word says that “If we CONFESS our sins (as true children of God), He is FAITHFUL and JUST to FORGIVE us our sins, and to CLEANSE us (with again, the water of His WORD) from ALL unrighteousness” (1 Jn. 1:9). I know Lord, that even though man has many ways of trying to teach who YOU are, YOU ALONE can do the job (1Jn. 2:27) if I cannot find worthy Spirit-filled, Bible-believing teachers and pastors–YOU ALONE can teach me as You taught Ezekiel, Elijah, Jeremiah, and even Abraham, David, Moses, etc. I have NO EXCUSE but to come to YOU, and allow YOU to lead and guide me in my daily FAITH walk here on Earth, until the Day You call me Home to be with You. I ask You to please accept me as not only Your child, but Your servant, to do the work that YOU, LORD God my Father, Lord Jesus-my Lord, Savior, Master, and KING-and Holy Spirit, Who is ONE with the Father and the Son–allow me to live the rest of my days out WHOLEHEARTEDLY SERVING YOU, in whatever capacity You desire me to. I thank You for SAVING MY ETERNAL LIFE–for without You, and what You done on the Cross for me, Lord Jesus, I would not have any chance for Eternal life in Your Presence; I would deserve to be with all those who have rejected You, and will find themselves unfortunately, in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15), for that is their just judgment that THEY CHOSE for themselves, by rejecting their God and King. I ask You to SAVE ME, and bring me into Your eternal family of God, and I THANK YOU for the MERCY and GRACE You already have shown me. I pray all of this in YOUR NAME, Lord Jesus–Amen.”

Beloved, CAST AWAY THOSE TRANSGRESSIONS AND SINS–NOW, while the “wood is (still) green” (Lk. 23:31), and the MERCY and GRACE of God is still WITH us, during this Time and Dispensation of His Grace–CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS TODAY.

This day may not even END, because He can call us children HOME at any moment, for “No one knows the Day or the Hour” (Matt. 24:36). For those who DO NOT choose the Lord God, or His Son Jesus in their lives–they DO NOT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT in them; but they have ANOTHER SPIRIT–the spirit of ANTICHRIST, which “already has come into this world” (1John 4:3).

****Those who are NOT HIS–the Lord’s–are RULED BY THE EVIL SPIRITS–the REBELLIOUS sons of God and their offspring–demons, disembodied spirits. They have NO ETERNAL LIFE in them, but ONLY ETERNAL DEATH. They have LEGAL GROUND to be in a human being who REJECTS CHRIST. Once a person’s breath is NO LONGER in them, and if they were NOT the Lord’s, they IMMEDIATELY are transported to the PIT of Sheol–the section which is overflowing with all those who have REJECTED the LORD God and His Son. They will be judged accordingly, at the White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15). Hebrews 9:27 tells us plainly: “And just as it is appointed for man to die ONCE (no reincarnation!!), and AFTER that comes JUDGMENT…”

If YOU know that you need to CONFESS your sins, do it NOW–TODAY. We are NOT promised yet another MINUTE here. ALL those who have decided to transgress themselves, and CHOOSE to NOT have the Triune Godhead in their lives, nor have His HOLY SPIRIT DWELL within them, The LORD God will allow them to choose for THEMSELVES, their ETERNAL destination, and He WILL recompense back on THEIR heads, ALL the evil that they have done, as they wail and gnash their teeth (Matt. 8:12; 13:50; 24:51; Luke 13:28).

🙏Beloved, I beg you, CHOOSE THE ✡️LORD GOD, His ✝️Son, and His 📖Word, and then you will have chosen ETERNAL LIFE with Him, and receive the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT Who will guide you to that Eternal life with Him, when That Day comes.

Cast Away Your Transgressions
“Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?” (Ezekiel 18:31)

Ezekiel likely penned this call to repentance in 592 BC, six years before the fall of Jerusalem (please get that–he was INFORMING and WARNING “before” the fall!). He hoped that Israel would turn from their transgressions and seek God. Chapter 19 begins with “Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel” and references the past and future fates of evil kings of Judah—Jehoahaz, Jehoiachin, and the present king, Zedekiah. What are the implications of Ezekiel’s call to action and warning for today?

🌟One, we are responsible for our own sins, and the consequence of sin is death (Romans 5:12). But “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” and become a new creature (Romans 10:13; 2 Corinthians 5:17). God is faithful and just to forgive believers if we confess and repent of our sins (1 John 1:9).

🌟Two, leaders are responsible for where and how they lead their followers. The kings of Judah led their people into rebellion, and they suffered God’s judgment. Believers must not let themselves become victims of “grievous wolves” who would lead them into sin (James 3:1-2; Acts 20:29). Paul warns, “Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them” (Ephesians 5:6-7).

🌟Three, if we “cast away” our transgressions, God offers hope and salvation. This is available not only to the house of Israel but to everyone through Jesus Christ. Through Him, we can be “born again” (John 3:3) and be given “a new heart and a new spirit.” How will you heed Ezekiel’s sober but encouraging plea? CCM

We ARE Spirit, Soul, and Body, in That Order

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

Every human being who has lived on Earth, is primarily a SPIRIT BEING.

We are 1)SPIRIT, 2)SOUL, 3)BODY, in that order (1 Thess. 5:23).

The LORD GOD Almighty is the FATHER of spirits (Heb. 12:9).

The spirit of a human returns unto the Father when the human’s body has expired (Eccl. 12:7).

The LORD sends it either (now that Christ has been risen from the dead) to the “Hell” portion of Sheol temporarily until both body and soul (Matt. 10:28) will be raised and judged at the White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15; 21:8), and from there, the spirit, soul, and body of the person will endure eternity in the Lake of Fire;

OR–if the person was a believer in the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, and His Word (granted, 99.9% of all humans living on earth sinned), accepting the Lord Jesus as both Lord and Savior of their life (Rom. 10:9-10, 13; Acts 2:21), and lived a life according to what the Father commanded in His Word, then being a believer, they would “enter in the joy of the Lord (Matt. 25:23). “The one who conquers will have this heritage (Rev.21:3-4), and I will be his God and he will be My son” (Rev. 21:7).

EVERY person who does not only PROFESS Christ as Lord (Matt. 7:21), but actually LIVES the life of a believer, and is NOT ashamed of Him as some are (those who are ashamed of Christ will be like those in Luke 9:26 and Mark 8:38), will be rewarded with not only a new life and Spirit here on Earth (John 3:3,5,7), but will go on to see all that inexpressible beauty and glory that Revelation 21 and 22 speaks about, when it comes to the New Heaven and New Earth.

They get to spend all of Eternity with the Lamb who was slain, and sit at the Marriage Supper (Rev. 19:7,9), because they were part of the Bride of Christ (Eph. 5:24-27), and although a metaphor there in those verses, believers know that they are to keep themselves as spotless (sinless) as they can, when they are presented to the Father by the Son as the “Bride of Christ”. Hence the reason why Paul prays that the believer in 1 Thess. 5:23 will keep their WHOLE spirit, soul, AND body “blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

BUT–the person MUST have a NEW SPIRIT (Acts 4:31; Luke 11:13) dwelling within their spirit in order to have Eternal life. THAT Spirit IS the Holy Spirit, living and dwelling within them. He ONLY dwells within those who have CONFESSED CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR.
1 Cor. 6:19 plainly says that our bodies are to be TEMPLES of the HOLY SPIRIT. He is to teach, guide, correct, and remind us (Jn. 16:13; 14:26) of all that Christ in His Word, wanted us to know and learn.

The world, the flesh, and the devil (James 3:15; 1 Jn. 2:16) has made 99.9% of the human population think it is supposed to be BODY, soul, and spirit (and there are some humans who do not believe in anything spiritual), but it is NOT.

The body of a person becomes a VESSEL for other spirits who never belonged there–demonic entities who found a “crack” due to unconfessed sin in the person’s life, and thereby made themselves “at home” with that person. More can come in if the person is unaware of what is going on spiritually, until that person ends up vexed, obsessed, depressed, oppressed, or-worst of all-possessed. The person ends up in a “spiritual prison” right in their own BODY, being a “slave” to those sins, surrounded by evil entities that will NOT give that body up, until that person either confesses Christ, or those demons kill them off.

Our bodies were meant to be vessels of honor (2 Tim. 2:21) for the Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to dwell within us-NOT dishonor, nor being taken over by evil spirits, who only cause chaos and seek to steal, kill, and destroy the human vessel (Jn. 10:10).

The SPIRIT of a person is the part that goes on to live FOREVER–whether in Eternity with Christ, or in Hell “prepared for the devil and his angels” ( Matt. 25:41), and ultimately, in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15). You either are in darkness (evil) or light (Christ).

I am working on a book about the Holy Spirit, and pretty much everything else I can speak about concerning spirits, and how we either allow the SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD into our lives, or else we WILL end up with evil spirits controlling us in one way or another. After all, it IS of the Lord’s doing for me to work on this, as plain as my last name (Geist = spirit), that He revealed to me back in 2018.

I hopefully will be done with that book by the end of this summer, prior to starting my PhD in Bible Exposition.

No matter whether a person believes it or not, we ARE in a VERY SPIRITUAL realm, hidden by much PHYSICAL, earthly “junk” to distract us.

🙏I pray every day for the Lord Jesus to save as many souls from that prison of darkness and evil, and bring them to His light of Eternal life. 🙏Set them free, Lord Jesus; please set those souls free!!

How The LORD God Uses An Amazing TV Series to Bring People to His Son’s Wedding Banquet

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

Shalom and boker tov (good morning)everyone! I HOPE you all were able to watch Episode 8 last night!! If you haven’t, and/or have not kept up with The Chosen for Season 3–OH MY GOSH—what are you WAITING for?

It was amazing! Seriously, I always loved S1E4–that was my “all time” favorite episode, and right behind that was S1E7-Jesus and Nicodemus. Of course, as the seasons continued, it was getting harder and harder to pick favorites; every season built upon the previous, and this one, in ONE word can be describe as “INTENSE”.

There were so many things going on at one time, and many of us can relate to at least one issue within S3’s episodes. But E8–that moved into FIRST PLACE position for me! I won’t say much more, in case you have not yet seen it-or any of them, for that matter.

Some people, I understand, don’t like TV shows or movies that are not “word for word” right out of the Bible. That is okay. BUT—even John the Apostle told us at the end of his Gospel, that “There are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written” (Jn. 21:25).

There were MANY things, many situations, many “human” emotions from the disciples themselves, their families, friends, etc., that very likely went from low to high, to everything in between. They did NOT all get along all the time-that we SEE for ourselves in the Scriptures! LIFE was still going on for these people as they served the Lord Jesus during those three and a half years He ministered in the public eye. Dallas Jenkins and the other writers have done a most excellent job of character development, writing a lot of very believable “what if’s” into the scripts, showing us how 1st century people were living, what they were dealing with-especially the Jewish people. They WERE and ARE STILL, God’s people!

All I will say of the last two episodes (7-8)—what an EXCELLENT example of the Body of Christ arguing with each other over petty things that in the eyes of the Lord Jesus, did not matter! Now, those people were yet to be believers, but as I first watched those scenes with the Jews, Greeks, Phonecians, etc., the immediate word that came into my spirit FROM the Spirit was, “this is the BODY of Christ today”🙄😞🙁. All too true. We definitely need to come together and UNITE as ONE as the Lord Jesus prayed to the Father about 📖in John 17.

Many testimonies from viewers from all over the world have possibly for the first time were not only able to finally see a very real side of the Lord Jesus in His humanity being portrayed by Jonathan Roumie, but how all who were with him, both family, friend, and foe, also possibly reacted when Jesus did (or did not do, in the case of Simon and Eden via the TV show) his miracles, or preached to the masses.

My prayers from 2018 were definitely answered when I came upon The Chosen for the first time in April, 2020. Finally, there was a TV show dedicated to Christ and His followers and their family members, showing just what could have happened during that time, when THEY were called to serve Him. It wasn’t easy then, nor is it any easier now. In fact, we know as per 📖Scripture it IS going to get worse! But we are getting amazing “what if” illustrations of how it very well could have been for them all back then, WITH many obvious 📖Scripture references wrapped around those very possible scenarios that Dallas and the writers chose to address to the viewers.

I thank God my Father for answering that prayer of mine (and so many others!) to make a show like The Chosen. It has drawn people BACK to their 📖Bibles, and more importantly, to their knees, having them look up and pray, repent, and ask the LORD God for forgiveness, and accept the Lord Jesus into their lives, finally having the 🕊Holy Spirit dwell within them. THAT, my family in Christ, IS the main reason why Abba said, “YES” to that prayer. He saw how many people that would come to Him via this series. It does not have to be perfect; it has been created by imperfect people, with imperfect writers, producers, cast and crew. And, every single viewer is also imperfect!

BUT, a PERFECT God oversees it all, to ensure that people ARE coming to Christ and His Word through it; and THAT is the miracle that keeps on happening every episode and in every season that has been made so far. Baruch HaShem for His chesed-lovingkindness!

May the LORD God keep blessing The Chosen, and using it to bring more people to His Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Rev. 19:9)—that table WILL be filled, with people from every tribe, tongue, and nation, and we ALL will be able to cast down our crowns before Him (Rev. 4:10), Who is worthy to receive glory, and honor, and power (Rev. 4:11), because He has called EVERYONE to His Table. 🙏🏼✡️📖✝️✨

Seek Forgiveness From the One Who Freely is Willing to Forgive

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

To know that there IS a way to be forgiven and cleansed of all those wrongdoings, iniquities, faults;
To know that there IS a Person out there that will continue to love you, no matter how many mistakes you may have made in the past;

To recognize AND account for your sins and faults, whether they were ignorantly done or on purpose;
To be FORGIVEN by not only them, but more importantly, the One to whom all Judgment of Mankind belongs;

And to be BLESSED to know that not only is reconciliation possible with Him, but to then be able to spend ETERNITY with Him, having complete PEACE and JOY in your heart, knowing someone loved you enough to forgive you.

How can one not take the Lord up on that Promise of His? Even though others may not want to forgive you,
HE WILL.
His LOVE endures FOREVER.

What Are You Waiting For?

It is as simple as humbling yourself before the Almighty God and Savior,
Confessing your sins,
Asking for forgiveness,
And wholeheartedly desire to serve Him,
So that He can grant you
Mercy and Grace,
Forgiveness and a New Life
In Him.

If you have not asked the Lord Jesus to help you live out your life, and have been struggling all these years, relying only on yourself and proud, unrepentant, sinful men,
What are you waiting for?

GO to Him. TODAY.
Start a brand new day with a
Brand New Life in Jesus Christ.
You will NEVER be the same again.
