It is amazing how when I had the talk with the Lord yesterday morning, and He stated to me (it was sometime after 4am at that point, I think) that “There will be more martyrs for the Faith”–pertaining to the coming Last Days and all that is yet to be fulfilled in His Word (Daniel, Revelation, Joel, etc.), I immediately just assumed He was mentioning sometime in the future. Ok, no big deal, I knew that from what was written in the Scriptures.

I just assumed as I was getting more sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep yesterday morning (after being up for the past hour or so), that what the LORD was telling me, was WAY in the future; it pretty much always has been, when He has told me things pertaining to futuristic events.

I got up, went to the bathroom, and stayed up thinking about what he said until almost 5am, and then finally went back to sleep. It IS common knowledge to a believer that has read the ✡️📖✝️WHOLE counsel of God, that IN the coming Days of the Tribulation–whenever that will be–there WILL be MANY souls who will give up their lives for Christ, and NOT partake in the Anti Christ’s demonic schemes.

MANY martyrs of the Faith will go Home to the Lord Jesus during that horrific Time here on Earth. I was well aware of that biblical FACT.

BUT–WHO KNEW less than 12 HOURS LATER, what the Lord said to me earlier that morning, was about to come to pass. THAT has NEVER happened to me before–something prophetic told to me and within 24 HOURS–it happened!!

The LORD God in all His mysterious wisdom, allowed the life of CHARLIE KIRK to be taken from us, assassinated because he was a faithful servant of God, someone who loved and cared enough about this nation to do all that he did in his short lifespan here, and spoke the Word of God in TRUTH and in LOVE, to those who either longed to hear what he said, while others hated him for it.

I’ve been crying and somewhat still in shock and numb since this all happened. I KNEW it was DEMONIC–I KNEW the Lord’s hand was all over this–it always is–NOTHING gets past Him, but HE DID ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN.

I knew Charlie’s assassination was not all for nought, that is was not done in vain; the LORD God my Father HAD a good REASON and PURPOSE for allowing such a horrific thing to happen.

I said to the LORD–“Abba, You NEED to allow us to have the resolve to do something about this–fight back with Your Word, and PLEASE EXPOSE the EVIL behind all of this!!” LET THE PEOPLE of this nation KNOW what DEMONIC entities are behind all the evil here! GIVE us the STRENGTH and DETERMINATION to fight back, but in the way YOU want us to!!”😭🙏

THEN, just before I was turning in last night, I saw this post from Trey Smith. I would look at it again this morning, to find out what Trey was talking about. See the link above from YouTube.

IT was about the DEMONIC entities that ARE over this nation, and how we need to pray spiritual warfare prayers to FIGHT BACK against them.

IT WAS about CHARLIE KIRK, and how a young man who loved the Lord Jesus and this nation, was targeted for his faith, and assassinated right before our eyes.

The demons think they’ve won. They took out a major servant of God “out”–so they think.

What they REALLY did (and this is why the LORD God allowed it happen)–is make the REST OF US who already have been in this VERY 👿SUPERNATURAL 🛡️SPIRITUAL ⚔️WARFARE–become even MORE resolved to 😡NEVER BACK DOWN, no MATTER what the evil ones throw at us–

And ALSO–I am VERY sure, that there are THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS–possibly even a million or two people–that just became more ARDENT FOLLOWERS of ✝️Christ, BECAUSE of what happened to Charlie Kirk yesterday.

⚔️WE MUST TAKE BACK OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES to speak out our ✡️📖✝️faith, SHOW IT any way we can, PREACH the WORD anytime, anywhere, and not let ANYONE shut us down for it!!

ALSO–those who HATE ✡️GOD, the Lord JESUS ✝️CHRIST, and HIS 📖WORD–and want to either silence us because they are atheists, humanists, satanists and/or worse yet, worship and serve another god/goddess (Allah/Ba’al/Baphomet/Apollyon/Chemosh/Molech, etc. Athena/Diana/Minerva/Ishtar/Innana/Venus, etc.)—I 😡have words for them-

YOU WILL NOT SILENCE US!! YOU WILL NOT STRIP US OF OUR RESOLVE!
YOU WILL NOT BREAK US!! YOU WILL NOT TAKE FROM US, THE VERY SPIRIT OF THE LIVING MOST ✡️HIGH GOD AND HIS SON!!
YOU WILL BOW DOWN YOUR KNEES TO THE LORD JESUS ✝️CHRIST; YOU WILL CALL📖 HIM “LORD”; YOU WILL END UP IN THE ETERNAL 🔥FIRES–EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU WHO TURNED HIS BACK ON THE MOST HIGH, AND SOUGHT TO DESTROY THE VERY HUMAN BEINGS HE MADE “IN HIS IMAGE”!!

YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST, DEMONIC 👿ENTITIES!! YOU ALREADY HAVE LOST, HA SATAN AND REBELLIOUS ANGELS!!! YOU ARE DESTINED FOR THE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥ETERNAL FIRES, FOREVER AND EVER!

Charlie Kirk was DESTINED to a certain 🙏PATH the LORD God laid out for him long ago. HE CHOSE to walk that Path, praise God. He became the man of God the Lord Jesus PRAYED for him to be (see John 17); Jesus prayed for ALL of us to walk a certain Path for Him, giving us certain callings and purpose to LIVE FOR ✡️📖✝️HIM and daily LIVE OUT His Word.

Charlie did that. EVEN Carlos Acutis did that, and at such a precious young age, and thank God that he did–many a Gen Z’er and Millennial have now TWO young men to look up to–although they were both sinners, and KNEW they needed a Savior; BUT–they followed the Path the LORD God set out for them IN FAITH and trusting Him, not knowing how it would end. They fought a good fight, they finished their individual race here on Earth.

They are NOW where I so long😭💔to be–at HOME with the LORD God, His Son, and all our Family of brothers and sisters in the Faith that have gone before us.

ALL we need to do, beloved, is to WALK the PATH the the LORD GOD destined for us. 🙏📖ASK, SEEK, and KNOCK–the LORD Jesus WILL direct you on that Path, to do whatever it is HE called you to do. Charlie and Carlos (just two examples)–two brave men who loved their Lord (both with essentially😃😄 the SAME NAME–I just realized that!) found out what THEIR individual PATHS were to be, and WALKED those Paths, until the Lord JESUS called them to their heavenly✨HOME.

YOU who are the Lord’s–GO OUT AND DO THE SAME!!! DO NOT ALLOW the evil in this world to put FEAR in you!!! DO NOT allow ANY human being to STOP you from answering the CALL of GOD in YOUR LIFE!!

MY individual CALLING has been a tough one–1)in the office of a Prophet, to “inform and warn” everyone of what is written in His ✡️📖✝️Word–preaching the WHOLE counsel of God, and 2)Dealing with Spiritual Warfare, the supernatural spiritual realm–both the angelic, demonic, and everything in between. NO ONE in their 😫right mind would choose such paths. I 🙁most certainly didn’t, but that’s why I “Jonahed” out of there 😞for a time, and then 🙏totally SURRENDERED to the Lord back in December of 2016, and it has been a WILD RIDE of on this Path of FAITH and TRUST in Him ever since.

BUT–the LORD JESUS has been walking right beside me, holding my hand as I am “Walking in the Dark with FAITH”–FAITH in HIM and HIS📖 WORD that 🙏upholds me, strengthens me, encourages ❤️me, emboldens ❤️‍🔥me, comforts ❤️‍🩹me, and makes me the 🛡️⚔️WARRIOR I AM IN ✡️📖✝️HIM, TODAY.

🛡️⚔️BE THE WARRIOR OF GOD THAT HE HAS CALLED YOU TO BE.

BE A CHARLIE. BE A CARLOS. BE a JOAN of ARC. BE a BENEDICT.
BE a JOHN VIANNEY. BE a PADRE PIO. Be a GEMMA.
BE A MARY. BE A PAUL. BE A STEPHEN. BE AN ANDREW and PETER and MATTHEW and ELIJAH, and JEREMIAH, and SAMUEL, and AMOS, and DAVID, and MOSES, etc.

❤️‍🔥🙏BE WHO THE LORD GOD CALLED YOU TO BE. And do not let ANYONE ever tell you otherwise, who or what you are. YOU are a CHILD of the LIVING GOD. YOU, beloved, have PURPOSE. YOU are ❤️LOVED by the MOST HIGH GOD. YOUR LIFE COUNTS!

NOW GO–be that man or woman of God that HE DESTINED for you to be, in JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME.

AMEN!!🙏❤️✡️📖✝️🕊️

We Are Truly Living In The “Valley of the Shadow of Death”

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-Marcelli1 Comment

I saw a devotional this morning, that spoke about how we have peace with the LORD God when we are awake, but especially, when we lay down to sleep. It quoted Psalm 4:8, and the prayer taken from it that my Godmother Helen used to have us kids to say before we were put to bed each night when I visited my cousins—“Now I lay me down to sleep…”.

But the verse that stood out to me this morning was from Psalm 23:4. As I read the verse over and over again, the words “valley of the shadow of death” resonated within me. For David, who had many enemies, being under attack by his king, and even by his own son at one point, I can see how this Psalm poured out of his soul and onto paper.

I looked up the verse, and the specific word צלמות “salmavet”, which in Hebrew is “of the shadow of death”. It is also defined as “death-shadow” (of distress, extreme danger), “deep shadow”, and “deep darkness” (of place of the dead). Even though they are mostly used figuratively, I sense there is a more literal meaning of it than we would like to admit.

This world has become more and more “the valley of the shadow of death”. In fact, I dare say that literally walking in this world right now IS like walking through the “shadow of Death”—the same Death that is mentioned in Revelation 20:14–the Greek word for death being θάνατος = “Thanatos”, the name for the ancient Greek god of Death (in Rome, the god was “Mors”). Thanatos may sound familiar, since in recent years the Avengers movies had a supervillain character named “Thanos” which first appeared in the Marvel comics. He most certainly lived up to the name in those movies.

Some other Bible verses that include “the shadow of death” or the other definitions of it are in Psalm 107:10–“There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains…” Boy, does that sound a lot like the people who basically are the “walking dead” on this Earth right now, who deny the very GOD who allows them to still have BREATH in their lungs.

Another verse is from Matthew 4:16 which is taken from Isaiah 9:2, “The people that walked in darkness (חשׁך)- kho-shek’, which means “darkness, obscurity”; “darkness”, “secret place”, “death”, “misery”, “IGNORANCE”—!, “sorrow”, “wickedness”. Hmm, very interesting how that is “figuratively” used, because the way our world is right now—actually, it has BEEN that way, but MOST of us have been ASLEEP, eating the “Lotus cookies” (some of you will 😉get that), busy with our own lives, not paying attention to what really has been going on in the world, both physically and SPIRITUALLY.

We human spirits have partaken in “panem et circenses”—“bread and circuses—a WHOLE lot of distraction from what has really gone on in this world—the work of the evil ones who “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10)—the HUMAN PUPPET AGENTS of SATAN who have continued his work for millennia, because he vowed to himself to take as many with him as possible to the Pit and ultimately, to “the LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE; which is the SECOND DEATH” (Rev. 21:8). That “second death” is WORSE than the first, because it is PERMANENT and ETERNAL.

WHAT needs to happen if one wants to avoid that “valley of the shadow of death”? You cannot avoid that, for WE ALL who are living ad breathing, are walking IN that valley right NOW—it is HERE on EARTH; it IS EARTH. Hence the reason why David wrote it the way he did, “Even though I WALK THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death”; David realized he was IN that valley throughout his lifetime. This entire life is about HOW to walk through that valley of death, misery, destruction, evil works, etc., and come out FROM it, with the help of the ONLY ONE Who can “deliver us from evil” (Matt. 6:13) that we see, hear, smell, touch, and taste of every single day of our lives. THAT Person is within the Eternal Triune Godhead—the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus DEFEATED Hell and Death (very real evil spirits) at the Cross, and OWNS the keys (Rev. 1:18)!! He is the ONLY ONE Who was RESURRECTED, and because of His victory at the Cross, as Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 15:55, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” The Lord Jesus has made a way back to the Father—the ONLY way, for He IS “the way, the truth, and the LIFE” (Jn. 14:6), and there is NO OTHER WAY out of eternal DARKNESS, the shadow of DEATH, or DAMNATION, except one who acknowledges Jesus as LORD and SAVIOR of their life (Romans 10:9-10,13).

If you want out of the “valley of the shadow of death”, you first must REPENT (Ez. 14:6; 18:30; Matt. 3:2; Mk. 1:15; Lk. 13:3,5; Acts 2:38; 8:22). The Lord Jesus warns once again of what will happen if people do not repent of their sins and wickedness: “Therefore, repent. If not, I will come to you SOON and war against them with the sword of My mouth” (Rev. 2:16). The “sword” IS His Word, and He, Jesus, IS THE WORD OF GOD.

SEEK the Lord and His Word out. BE HUMBLE and ASK Him to forgive you of your sins, and LIVE as a child of the King, Who WILL hold your hand and walk WITH you, “through the valley of the shadow of death” here, UNTIL the “appointed time” (Dan. 8:19; 11:35; Hab. 2:3; for Him to come back and “redeem His people” (2 Sam. 7:23; Job 5:20; Ps. 69:18; Is. 50:2; Jer. 15:21), and I will end with Hosea 13:14a: “I SHALL ransom them from the power of Sheol; I SHALL REDEEM them from DEATH…”
