Spiritual Climate
For several weeks the Words Spiritual Climate have been in my spirit. This is the time to give birth and share.
As part of life, before we venture out into a new place, we tend to check out the climate of that place. For example, if it’s a geographical location, we check out the demographics which include the weather patterns and temperatures, we tend to look at the crime statistics, noise levels, etc. Or on the other hand, we are going into a new setting such as a job, a church, a neighborhood we may look at the social environment and the relationships therein and around.
Climate as defined by dictionary.com:
Climate-
the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years.
a region or area characterized by a given climate: to move to a warm climate.
the prevailing attitudes, standards, or environmental conditions of a group, period, or place
For our purposes, we will utilize definition #3:
the prevailing attitudes, standards, or environmental conditions of a group, period, or place.
We are embarking upon a new season. And as He (The Lord, my Father) has given to me, I have been saying since 2012, “something major is about to hit our land”, our land meaning the United States of America. It is coming in the form of a judgment of God. And no, it is not the end, and no it’s not the rapture. (For those that always have that on your minds, you better be glad it’s not, because if it were, Hell would be awaiting your arrival and I make no joke about that).
As a matter of fact, the judgment’s results will vary according to the seeds sown by each of us. Remember, The Lord sees everything and He hears everything - EVERY THING. NOTHING - NO THING goes unnoticed by The Lord.
Galatians 6:7 - Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
And so the climate I am speaking of is not corporeal. Meaning it is spiritual, and it is not tangible. But its fruition will be in the natural and very much tangible.
I have never spoken with anyone directly (I didn’t have to), but I “saw” my blog titled “The Days are Evil” ruffled some feathers because MANY read it and saw themselves and assumed it was aimed directly at them. I am chuckling even as I am writing this because:
I have a prophetic gifting and I speak what my Heavenly Father instructs me to speak. I am merely a messenger, a mouthpiece. The accuracy is supposed to be there! So don’t be surprised by the fact that He read your mail to you! Don’t hate the game and definitely don’t hate the players! Just play by the rules! (Me chuckling)
If you understand prophecy when it’s corporate, meaning when it is spoken to more than one, then you understand and know that it is purposed by design to hit your spirit because it is accurate. However, as it is bypassing your flesh, heading to your spirit, your flesh may want to get angry or offended. Happens all the time. John 16:8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
And therefore, the proverbial shoe fit, or fitted (me laughing literally out loud), and you were offended. You should have been convicted or frightened. I am not God, just a servant of The Lord who chose to obey Him and walk in my calling. It is a good thing when Holy Spirit convicts us:
Hebrews 12:6-7 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father
So, please…I have said it before, but it is worth repeating: get mad and get offended, but it is your salvation and your soul that is at risk. Be glad He still is speaking to you or has a Word for you no matter what it is. Be terrified if The Lord stops speaking to you and there is no Word for you and you cannot hear Him.
Turn away from those that speak lies into your ears. A lie is anything that does not line up with the truth of God’s Word. Because that means you have lost your moral compass and your direction has become sin and darkness. Example: did you know you can get a burn that is so bad that the heat destroys the nerve endings and you no longer have feeling in that area? The Bible speaks of the conscience of man being not burned, but seared with a hot iron. Imagine a metal poker used to brand cattle (well…I know, but for the sake of this message let’s just leave it with branding cattle)
1 Timothy 4: [misled] by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared as with a branding iron [leaving them incapable of ethical functioning]
You are so anesthetized by your own thoughts and actions that you slipped and slid, and hustled your way through life, that in your mind it’s no big deal because it’s what everybody does. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Beloved, don’t you know that It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:31)? I ask you now: was it worth it? But please don’t answer just yet, it’s not yet time. Yes, you apologized but the seeds of your deeds went into the ground not to be buried, but to be cultivated and grow. You will see them again multiplied - greater than you sowed. Uh oh…
Or better yet, you knew to do better. Here is why we all know to do better because in Genesis 1:27 God created mankind in his own image and his own likeness. So we have an innate trait of the likeness of God in us.
1 Corinthians 2:10-12 - But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
Last year (2020) I was working on one of the three books I wrote in that year. And the entire day, though the book was coming along nicely and in the will of God, I felt this heaviness looming over me. Like a cloud of impending sorrow and sadness. It bothered me greatly. I did a self-examination to see am I depressed, am I frightened, have I sinned…? It was none of the above
Finally, I wrapped up working on the book close to midnight and went to bed. I couldn’t sleep. I tossed and turned and finally said to my husband “I am going to get up and pray because I got to get this heaviness off of me"!
And it would take my family (my husband and children) to describe what happened when the prayer utterances came forth. We definitely had a Holy visitation. It frightened our son to his very core. He couldn’t even look at me, I wanted to comfort him but the Words of prophecy were coming forth so quickly and with such furor that I couldn’t stop. So my daughter, who also was shaken, comforted her little brother. My husband sat up in reverence and respect. And it went on for maybe 40-45 mins. What was said was frightening, at least that’s what they tell me. It spoke of what is to come next.
And here is the crazy thing, only a few are even discerning it! So as many are going about life and making plans, they have no idea what is about to occur, but it will surely impact said plans of many.
That prophecy alone told me/us that the spiritual climate is changing and for many, it will not be good. In fact, it will be very bad. Even for some, there will be death.
And yet again, it was confirmed to me in a dream this past Friday morning.
In the dream, I visited the house I grew up in. The house was filled with family and friends past and present (I use those titles loosely - because as much as I love family, I continue to learn family is those of like precious faith more so than those with the same DNA). Everyone was standing around socializing and seeming to not have a care in this world. Meanwhile, I was trying to share a warning with them. No one seemed interested. I was talking to one guest- a man- and as I was speaking to him I watched him start to rot as he was taken away to jail. That got everyone’s attention, but then it was too late, I proceeded to leave through the front door and I woke up.
Let me sidebar here to do some spiritual housekeeping as Holy Spirit is leading me, using myself as an example:
I am very thankful and eternally grateful for the strong support circle of Believers with JITA Ministries. We are closer than close. More like family. In fact, we are family in Christ Jesus. Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. We stand in prayer for one another daily and we enjoy fellowshipping about the things of The Lord. We have each other. In our circle, there are no needs because if one has the other has because we are givers. And we never have to ask, it just comes. The Lord is with us for certain! When we meet, we are as eagles - majestic, standing ready in our purpose. Our meetings are extremely prophetic with deep teachings of the scriptures. We have an amazing time in His presence. But don’t take my word alone for it…
Some of you can’t handle that because you still like to get on your phones and talk about other people’s business and cackle like chickens and hens. The Word of God being nowhere in those conversations. So to you, I am bragging. Nope, I am making my boast in The Lord! Hallelujah!
In fact, I saw several relatives (both my family and my husband’s family) doing that very thing concerning us. At first, it was amusing because Father had spoken it to me prophetically. “This one is going to have this one call you and they will be right there listening, but remember I am right here with YOU”. And sure enough, that relative who NEVER calls me (like never ever) called with some made-up story about family matters and during the call, every so often, dropping that person’s name who got them to call me to see what I would say about them. And not a word did I say in response to each time that person’s name was brought up. One, because I am not even remotely interested in what goes on in that person’s life and two, it is not my character to tell “my side” of the story. That kind of stuff falls under sow and reap. Time and the harvest will tell the story of truth in its entirety. I told you in “The Days are Evil” blog that it would answer the soon coming question many will have “why is this happening to me?”
But Father still reveals it to me and allows me to “hear” the conversations. I kind of got tired of “seeing” and “hearing” it, but Father continues because of my heart towards souls. I have overwhelming compassion for those that most feel don’t deserve compassion, much less mercy. So I have come to realize that when “they” stop talking about it, He will stop exposing it by revealing it to me as His prophet.
He said, “I want you to see, so that when My judgment comes down you will know and understand why I will not show mercy.” Each time He shares with me, the more the gossip is inflated and spreading like wildfire. Though the matter is over two years old. And of course, it’s just more inaccurate versions of the event - gossip basically.
In fact, several times as I would see them assembled in person or on their phones with myself and/or my husband (whom I love very much) as the topic of their discussions.
It is like a scene in “A Christmas Carol” where Ebeneezer Scrooge was allowed to see into his past, his present, and his future. As I am watching or listening to the conversations, Father would say “TELL THE TRUTH! TELL THE TRUTH I SAY! WHAT DID YOU DO? WHAT DID YOU DO LONG BEFORE THAT?! I SAW YOU BOTH AND HEARD YOU BOTH EVERY TIME! LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES… I SAY THEY LIE!” Of course, they cannot hear Him, but I can - loud and clear. And this has been going on so much so, that the story must be even more inflated because, in the natural, I am getting calls from relatives that don’t call me or have not called me in at least ten years! Somewhere in there, a story is floating that I am walking in unforgiveness.
Someone even sent me something about how Oprah Winfrey forgave someone she couldn’t forgive. Are…you….kidding ….me??? I didn’t even bother opening it because Oprah and I don’t believe in the same God. In fact, depending on what show of hers it is, she has a different deity (God) she speaks of each time! Sis is lost, let me put it to you this way: she is wealthy and lost. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36) We must keep her in prayer as she is a soul. Her money cannot buy her salvation and when she dies it is not going with her.
I choose to live by faith and walk in peace than to have all the money in the world! Nothing beats a good night’s sleep - that sweet slumber and peaceful sleep that is promised to His Beloved.
This may all sound made up, but I am so serious and speaking the truth! It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? It is truth that reads stranger than fiction. Yes, we in ministry are not without the Sandballats and Tobiases in our lives either. We just choose to have the spirit Nehemiah had and continue in fruitful work for The Lord, like winning souls and teaching His Word. It is a small mind and a lost soul that does otherwise and stoops to the level of gossip that gets repeated, not even knowing if it is even true! And a pretty stupid thing to do seeing as our Creator can hear you.
This is the one and only time I will say this: when I or anyone decides they have had enough abuse (abuse that the gossipers are not privy to) and walk away and not look back, it is not unforgiveness!
It is wisdom people!! Why associate with those that will cause you to sin? That’s scriptural people!!!
Matthew 5:30 - if your right hand makes you stumble and leads you to sin, cut it off and throw it away [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Father gives us His permission to walk away no matter who it is. Because:
2 Corinthians 6:14 - Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
So understand it is not unforgiveness, it is wisdom that has brought a peace many of us hadn’t ever had when they were in our lives.
And even now, there are some that just read that and a heavy burden was lifted because you now know you are free and can walk away from the burden of emotional, spiritual, verbal, and in many cases physical abuse you tolerated for the sake of “religion” and what you thought because you were taught that. Read and study the scriptures for yourself people! I cannot say it enough. People have used god as a mechanism of control and I purposely used a lower case g, because that mentality is not the nature of The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
You now know scripturally you don’t have to bear that burden any longer. Isn’t God good?!?! Free yourself and enjoy your newfound peace!!!
Now, I am not speaking about marriage and divorce. That’s an altogether different bird. Read my book “For This Cause: An Extraordinary Story About Marriage”. Husband and wife, you will have to bear it until you hear Father (The Lord) say otherwise. And for those who have implicated accusations about my husband being the wrong husband for me…oooh, Father is gonna get you. Mwah haha (ok for real, let me stop clowning…you all are not used to my blogs being so open, relaxed, and deep at the same time)
You were called for a purpose and have a gifting. Running around talking business you ain’t supposed to talk (let me just get all West Indian on you) means you are not living out your purpose. That isn’t good for you. You best be about your Father’s business and your own business.
In our personal climate as well as JITA Ministries, we are long-suffering bearing one another’s burdens and not walking away until we are released. But any one of us will tell you, when we get the release from Holy Spirit, we walk away. No one wants drama, stress, and gossip as a constant in their lives. Even in the United States, we have civil rights. Plainly stated the right to be treated civilly.
Now, get on your phones and talk about that…And not another need call me. Besides, I am not a phone talker. You will better hear from me either by text or email and those that are acquainted with and/or know me well know that about me. I hate talking on the phone other than ministry calls. I said what I said in this blog as Father lead me by His Holy Spirit and I will not ever speak on it again.
So, now that we have done some Holy Spirit-led housekeeping, let’s get back to the spiritual climate.
Discern the times beloved, the next spiritual climate is upon us. It is a new season. And right about the time you realize what it is, it will have already manifested. And it is bringing forth a great harvest.
To the sons and daughters of God, those He calls faithful, those diligently seeking Him. Your climate is sealed. You are in His Ark of Safety. Think of it this way (and I know this is redundant for JITA Ministries - but I must be obedient so that the world may know) it’s like watching it from your window as it all plays out. Surely darkness will cover the land. You will not be able to help those that have a not-so-good harvest…or let me just say a bad harvest. The harvest they don’t want. But it’s the seeds that they sowed. You can’t plant apple seeds and expect anything other than apples. If you try to help them you will find yourself alongside them in a spiritual place you don’t want to be.
I see death. A lot of “unexpected” death. Which has already begun. There will be more.
I see exposure. Many will be exposed.
Luke 8:17 - For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
There is even more lawlessness (crime). You ain’t seen nothing yet, if I may use such vernacular.
And I see many more coming to JITA website searching and reading and re-reading my blogs looking for answers that will help them through or even to get out of what they are experiencing. The torment and the struggle will be very real. And sadly for you, if this is you: yes, you apologized but you still must reap what you sowed.
Just remember beloved everything is but for a season.
Ecclesiastes 3
There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven—
2 A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
3 A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
4 A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
5 A time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.
6 A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away.
7 A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to keep silent and a time to speak.
8 A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.
9 What profit is there for the worker from that in which he labors?
10 I have seen the task which God has given to the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.
God Set Eternity in the Heart of Man
11 He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good as long as they live;
13 and also that every man should eat and drink and see and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
14 I know that whatever God does, it endures forever; nothing can be added to it nor can anything be taken from it, for God does it so that men will fear and worship Him [with awe-filled reverence, knowing that He is God].
15 That which is has already been, and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by [so that history repeats itself].
16 Moreover, I have seen under the sun that in the place of justice there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.
17 I said to myself, “God will judge both the righteous and the wicked,” for there is a time [appointed] for every matter and for every deed.
18 I said to myself regarding the sons of men, “God is surely testing them in order for them to see that [by themselves, without God] they are [only] animals.”
19 For the [earthly] fate of the sons of men and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no preeminence or advantage for man [in and of himself] over an animal, for all is vanity.
20 All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust.
21 Who knows if the spirit of man ascends upward and the spirit of the animal descends downward to the earth?
22 So I have seen that there is nothing better than that a man should be happy in his own works and activities, for that is his portion (share). For who will bring him [back] to see what will happen after he is gone?
In His Loving Arms,
