The pace of change is accelerating, with critical events now underway that will change our nation and our lives forever. How can we survive, and what can we do to prepare – for life here and into eternity?
Satan, the master deceiver, has set many traps to ensnare us into his nets and take us down to the Lake of Fire. Some of these traps (and upcoming events) are war on our soil, crash of the dollar (Project Sandman), famine, pestilence (new viruses), the vax, the coming three days of darkness, trust in our corrupt politicians and government, and perhaps the eclipse coming in April.
To gain insight into what is coming soon and how to prepare, take a look at Time is Short.
In I Chronicles 12:32, the sons of Issachar were commended for understanding the times and knowing what they should do. So let us be like them, seeking understanding of the times and what we should do to live at this time and serve our Lord. As in all things, question everything and take it to the Lord for confirmation.

Key Insights
TIME: This process may take weeks, or an hour or two with the person next to you on an airplane.
RELATIONSHIPS: It’s all about developing a relationship with that person. They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
COMPASSION is key; Jesus had compassion on people, so He reached out and ministered to them.
SURPRISE OR PLANNED: Spiritual conversations may happen unexpectedly, but they may be in fact divine appointments from the Lord.
A DIVINE APPOINTMENT may be lunch with a friend, talking with a plumber, or a brief conversation with the person asking for help at the street intersection.
DON’T WORRY: The Holy Spirit will give us the words to say. It’s about being ready to respond when the opportunity presents itself.
SLOW DOWN: When we relate to the people who come across our paths, it can be a totally different experience.
OPEN THE DOOR: Everyone has some religious experience, so we can relate to that experience. This can open the door to a spiritual conversation.
RELIGION HURT: Many people have had hurtful experiences with churches or other religions. We need to be aware of that, and minister to them with the love of Christ.
Everyone has a story, is broken, and needs our Lord. So let us reach out and engage them in spiritual conversations with the love and truth of Christ, for time is short, eternity is forever, and we are not guaranteed tomorrow.
Our nation – the U.S. – is on the cusp of an extraordinary change – an economic crash that may also be the largest wealth transfer in the history of the world. The Word of God admonishes us to understand the times we are in (Matthew 16:1-4), and to be good stewards of the resources in our care.
Life in the Spirit blog is for the remnant Bride of Christ and all who seek The Truth. As in all things, question everything, test it against His Word, and take it to the Lord for confirmation. We were created to live at this time and be a witness to our Lord to all who He brings across our path. So let us be bold, be strong, be courageous, and walk with our Lord.
Have a blessed day, and always remember Who is really in charge.

P.S. One aspect of preparation deals with finances. To gain a glimpse of the impact of the crash of a currency, take a look at this article, which just came out a few days ago.
War is coming to America unless we as the people of America repent and cry out to our Lord for mercy. We are entering the End Times, and it is critical to draw close to our Lord in humility, seeking His guidance and mercy for our nation.
This blog is for the remnant Bride of Christ and all who seek the Truth. Most people will this as conspiracy theories, or just unbelievable, like most of the children of Israel viewed the Old Testament prophecies. But those prophecies were proven to be correct as they became fulfilled, and we will see how these events take place as well. As in all things, question everything and take it to the Lord for confirmation.
This blog post includes War is Coming to America, A Cold, Dark Winter is Coming, What God Thinks About Christmas, and How to Prepare. You can see it here:
I hope this note finds all is well with you. Our nation is facing severe shocks in the very near future. Please ask the Lord to illumine your mind with the truth, then review the following with a critical mind, questioning everything, and taking it to the Lord for validation.
There are powerful indications that we will soon experience a financial crash in the United States, and probably much of the rest of the world as well. This will have huge implications for our work, our lifestyles and standard of living, our churches, and our families. So it is incumbent upon all of us to learn about this, do our own research, take it to the Lord for confirmation, and take action as appropriate.
You can learn about the Coming Financial Crash on this post of the Life in the Spirit blog here.
As always, draw close to the Lord for comfort, guidance, and peace, for “In the world you will have tribulation; be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
And watch for upcoming issues that address these issues in more detail as they emerge.
The pace of events is speeding up, so it is important to understand what is happening and how best we can respond and prepare – physically, financially, personally, and especially spiritually.
This Part III of the March issue of Life in the Spirit Newsletter focuses on events taking place and soon underway that will impact our lives in profound ways, and what we can do to prepare for them. Amos 3:7 states that the Lord does not do anything before first telling His people, so we are seeing that take place with many of His watchman at this time in history.
As always, QUESTION EVERYTHING, do your own research with multiple sources, and take everything to the Lord for confirmation. And always remember that the Lord is calling each of us to be His witness in these times. We are not to be fearful, but to march forward with boldness as Ambassadors of Christ, who conquered sin and death and set us free to experience the joy of the Lord, which transcends all circumstances.
The Federal Reserve has been printing money like crazy to purchase all kinds of debt and keep our economy afloat. Historically, this kind of rampant money printing typically leads to hyperinflation. If/when hyperinflation hits, it would decimate cash, CDs, insurance, annuities, and other cash-related financial instruments. Stocks and bonds would also suffer. When the purchasing power of cash crashes, value can only be found in things (food, water, toilet paper, precious metals, real estate, personal protection, commodities, etc.).
Debts are effectively reduced by devaluing the currency, which is one of the reasons that governments do it. Inflation is a hidden tax that saps the purchasing power of citizens, for the benefit of those who run the presses (the Fed and federal government). So the danger is not that the government will stop government programs like Social Security. The danger is that the money you receive will have little purchasing power.
Action Steps:
Take a fresh look at your assets in light of the above discussion.
Allocate at least of a portion of your assets into precious metals related assets – physical bullion in your possession, such as junk silver coins (pre-1965 U.S. coins), bullion in off-site depositories, and precious metals equities (mining companies).
Physical preparation is also important – food, water, etc. Remember how Joseph stored up food in Egypt for seven years, in preparation for lean years, and Noah stored provisions in the ark. And remember how many people struggled with the recent COVID-19 lockdown.
List your assets for physical survival and what you need to acquire.
Assess your ability to survive in case stores close or the grid shuts down.
Create a plan, and take action.
3) Consider your location
The riots that several cities have been recently experiencing highlight the vulnerability of living in high density areas when there is serious social unrest, power outages, or pandemics.
Action Steps:
Is your present location safe?
Would it be safe with massive social unrest and riots?
Do you have a bug out bag ready, and do you know where you would go if you had to leave your home?
Develop a plan and start to implement it.
4) Become Prepared Spiritually
Spiritual preparation is most important because none of us is guaranteed tomorrow. Sogetting right with God and seeking His guidance, His will, and His protection is imperative. If we place our faith and hope in our finances and physical preparation, we will be disappointed, for we do not control what is happening to our nation and the world. If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, now is the time to do so by confessing your sins and accepting Him as Lord and Savior.
The Word of God promises that the Lord will guide us if we seek Him with our whole heart:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
Furthermore, the safest place in the world is in the center of God’s will:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust… Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your habitation, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
Psalm 91: 1-2, 9-11
Action Steps:
If you don’t know the Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, confess your sins and accept Him as your savior.
Spend time with the Lord every day, reading the Word, confessing your sin, and seeking to be in His presence.
Join a Bible-believing church or another group of believers that you can meet with on a regular basis.
If you have disagreements or broken relationships, seek them out and become reconciled. You don’t want to have unconfessed sin in your heart when you stand before the Lord (and we all will).
Learn to recognize the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit, seek the Lord’s will for your life, and be obedient in following His leading.
Matthew 24:29 says that before Jesus comes back again “the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light”.
The Lord spoke of this darkness in His Word.
Here is the back story of the 3 days of darkness.
I heard a video by Sister Kerry Ann Gidden, in which she received a vision from the Lord about the 3 days of darkness.
She said: “We are not to be outside in the darkness, because there will be demonic activity, so we are to be inside, with our closed windows and cover them.”
I sought the Lord on this, so the Lord gave me a vision of my own. The month is April, it will start on a Sunday, and will still be dark on the 7th. 2021 is the only year when that could happen.
The Lord confirmed with me that it has to be this year [TOMORROW, APRIL 4]!
I told the Lord you have to confirm it for me to believe it.
He not only confirmed it, He visited me and told me why He is doing it. The Lord stated: “I have had enough of this sinful generation. They tarnish my blood. They disregard my love, mercy, and patience. They will see I am also a God of wrath.
Did I not open up the ground and swallow up all those who rebelled against Moses in spite of all that I had done for them? Did I not send darkness over the land and kill the children of Egypt because of the disobedience of the pharaoh?
Once again, I am forced to display My wrath upon those who boast that they have no need of Me.”
I said: “Lord – is this what You want me to say?”
He said: “Yes, My son. After this event, there will be a small window of time to repent, and then, just as in the days of Noah, I will shut the door of My ark. I will close the door of My grace. Choose now if you want to be in My arms of safety, or outside in the flood of destruction and death.” He spoke with fire in his eyes.
He said: “I don’t even want to do this, but My children are not listening to Me.” The Lord was weeping because he doesn’t want to do this.
He gave me these scriptures:
“Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7
“And it shall come to pass in that day,” says the Lord God, “That I will make the sun go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in broad daylight.” Amos 8:9
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Romans 2:5
“and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods.” Numbers 16:32
“Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness which can even be felt.”So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.” Exodus 10:21-23
“And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.” Exodus 12:29
“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
Acts 2:20
“Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. For behold, the Lord comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain. Isaiah 26:20-21
Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. Isaiah 60:1-2
Action Steps:
Store up 3 days of food, water, and candles
Cover your windows so no light can be seen from outside.
Do not go outside for any reason.
If you hear the voice of someone you know, do not open the door, because demons will sound like someone you know. And no one will survive in the darkness.
Please share this message. Because the 3 Days of Darkness will take place on April 4, 2021. This is TOMORROW.
Prepare, prepare, prepare, repent, fast and pray. Repent, fast, and pray. Share this any way you can. Share it share it, share it. Pray for your family and those you don’t know.
May the grace of the Lord be up on us.
Comments:
Get anointed oil and anoint your doors and windows as God instructed the Israelites to do when the 3 days of darkness fell over Israel.
If you don’t have any buy some olive oil, lift it to heaven and ask God to consecrate it to be a representation of the Holy Spirit, blood of Jesus and fire of God and anoint your doors and windows.
Buy some black plastic bags or thick sheets and tape and cover all windows so no gaps from outside can come in.
Make sure you have food and water to last 3 days.
Buy non-scented white candles; flashlights might not work.
Keep all electronics unplugged, including cell phones. You might want to even remove them from your home.
Fast and pray and make sure that under no circumstances you open the door, even if you hear a voice you think you recognize as only demons will be able to survive the darkness.
Pray for your family and loved ones.
May the grace love and protection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit rest and abide in you and all that’s connected to you in Jesus mighty matchless precious beautiful Holy name.
Amen shalom
Youtube: HUGE CONFIRMATION! MORE DATA AND TIME GIVEN ABOUT THE 3 DAYS OF DARKNESS – ITS CLOSE!! *WATCH/SHARE*
Sister Kerry-Ann
Keep holding on to the truth. The Lord has given me another vision of the impending 3 Days of Darkness.
He always tells His prophets before something happens.
The darkness will start 3 days before April 7 [on April 4], at 10:30 a.m.
Get some food, water, candles.
When the Passover took place in Egypt, they didn’t look out. You have to use wisdom; it is not about being fearful.
The Lord will protect those who need protection.
Those who don’t seek the protection of the Lord will be in trouble, for there will be really horrible things happening outside.
Be bold, courageous, and strong.
IMPORTANT: HOW THE DARKNESS WILL DESCEND AND WHAT TO DO (3 DAYS OF DARKNESS)**MUST WATCH AND SHARE*
Sister Kerry-Ann
I received a vision the Lord gave me on October 28, 2019 about the 3 days of darkness.
In this vision, I was inside a house and my children were playing outside, then my husband spoke to me and said go and get the children. It was a beautiful day with a blue sky.
The whole sky began to get dark. The whole sky was pitch dark, and the darkness was falling. In my spirit, I remember (in real life) I have candles, matches, water, and black bags put away.
In the vision, I was looking for my black bags because I used them up. I knew I had to cover the windows. I grabbed some old sheets over the windows, but it wasn’t blocking out anything. As the darkness was falling. You could not pray it away but it was happening slowly.
I told my husband – we all have to be in the same room. For some reason there was some food and water in my room. As we were there, this darkness came down – it just fell. I couldn’t even see my hands. When I went for my 16-year-old son, he said: “The light is on, why is it still dark?” The light could not penetrate the darkness.
The vision then ended.
I came out and realized I needed black bags, tape, water, and food.
You cannot pray it away, or say it only happened with Moses in the Old Testament. The bible is specific – there is nothing new under the sun. What was done will be done again. Who are we to say to the Lord that you cannot have another 3 days of darkness?
What God showed me in this vision is that He is going to cause the sun to go down, to disappear. You will know and will have a bit of time. I felt that I had half an hour to an hour to block off my windows. It was like an invading army – it was just falling.
People will find somewhere to hide. It is real; it is coming. I am so glad I had this vision, because it showed me how the darkness will fall. You will have time to do what you want to do.
Do not open the windows once you are in your house. You must not open the door, because it is only the demons and possessed who can maneuver in this darkness.
What will happen to our animals? Back in Egypt, the children of Israel had many animals, but the Bible said the animals were ok as they left Egypt with them. So don’t worry about your animals.
We have candles and some people will use lanterns. It is important to know that this thing is coming.
In real life, my husband doesn’t believe in end times prophecy. He believes everything will be fine and he will retire.
But in my vision, he was humble; I think he was scared. And I think that is what will happen to some family members who now scoff at you when you tell about them about the three days of darkness. This darkness will humble them and a lot of people.
Keep your hearts sweet, and trust in the Lord. Share this with others, don’t worry about what people will say, but trust the Lord.
I had a dream about the darkness coming and it is freaky. I saw 2 separate events this night. Thank Jesus, and God, and the Holy Spirit I was with my mom. THANK YOU GOD. She is truly a light in the name of Jesus as the Lord is showing me in many recent dreams. It was so freaky.
First, I was on a bus, like my mom and I were taking public transit in a big city. I think we were getting home from somewhere. My mom was standing in the middle of the bus in the aisle and I had a window seat on the left side closer to the back. I looked outside and saw the strangest thing. On the left side of the bus, I saw about half the sky was this weird darkness, and it was creeping in catching up to us slowly more and more. I actually didn’t expect to see this when I looked outside as I just thought I was on a relaxing bus ride. But everything in this darkness blended together like I couldn’t see where it started or ended. It was all black, but there were these pretty stars in it and these purplish and bluish colors blended like a picture of a galaxy. I don’t think I saw any planets. But this was freaky.
So while this darkness was falling, I suddenly felt the urgency we needed to get home immediately
As we drove, I think it was partially safe to look outside and there were these reddish brownish or purplish, metallic, clean, shiny cars and motorcycles like fancy high-tech cars that just kept driving past us on the left side of the bus in small packs as this darkness was creeping in. And these motorcycles had red metallic riders to match.
They didn’t look at me or make eye contact with the bus but rushed up ahead like they had their own mission and didn’t waver to the right or to the left as they passed by. But it was freaky seeing a sudden invasion of them. My mom was in her own little world like she was in complete peace. I was trying to tell her the darkness was here but I didn’t know which time frame it was. And I could tell the other riders were suspicious of me so I had to be careful. That was the first event I witnessed.
The second event, my mom and I were in an apartment together and I think we were with my little brother or another small child. This apartment had curtains for each window in the house and the house was relatively large. Again, I knew the darkness was here and we had to cover our windows to prevent anyone from looking outside at the demons. My mom literally didn’t care that the darkness was coming (she was in complete peace from the Lord) but when I saw it getting darker, I ran around the entire house and closed everything up as best I could.
This is not a joke. I would not take any chances with this. Black bag every window, every key hole to the outside world.
Because I took a look outside in this dream to see during the day what was going on while I was closing the windows, and I saw a demon. It freaked me out like I saw a white ghostly figure but it jumped out at me and made a shrieking sound and I think I rebuked it right away. Thank you Jesus that I knew how to do that immediately. He’s been training us so intensely these past few months. I was immediately able to rebuke it and I looked away and kept closing the curtains over that window though there was a draft in the house. I’m not sure if it was a spiritual attack like there were demons trying to blow the curtains up even a little so you would peek outside but the curtains were a struggle to close completely and I fought with them.
Now the more we closed the windows and the darkness crept it, the entire house went dark. Thankfully the child with us was being super obedient, but I was struggling enough myself because the demons play mind tricks with you and try to tempt you to want to look outside. So I would take NO chances. Get garbage bags up on the windows. Take no chances. Stay together with like-minded brothers and sisters if possible.
To combat the spiritual attacks I was facing, I started worshiping and praising God coincidentally singing “See a Victory” as I shut the curtains. This protected me and overrode my thoughts, filling my mind with God’s glory and my mom joined in as well.
I would recommend staying away from phones if at all possible. It seemed like a portal for spiritual attacks. I didn’t trust it. I wouldn’t. Praise God. But this is not a drill. Take this to the Lord for confirmation and further instructions. Take it seriously.
Gather batteries, flashlights, blankets, food, water and figure out bathroom solutions before it hits in case there’s no hydro or water and prep specifically for it!!!! Ask the Lord for confirmation and what you need to do to prepare, and follow through with swift obedience.
Hear the Lord. No time to waste!! It is imminent. Danger Danger. High alert. High alert. High alert. Stay vigilant. Don’t let anybody leave the house. Tell everyone about this. Stay in the Word. Know how to rebuke the attacks. Don’t let fear take your soul or YOU WILL PERISH.
Come to Jesus NOW. Cover everything including the food you eat with the blood of the Lamb that was slain for this victory. It’s in the name of Christ Jesus that we are safe. NOT BY OUR OWN STRENGTH. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. TRUST ME IT’S BRUTAL.
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME. YOU NEED TO GET YOUR HOUSES IN ORDER. OUR SPIRITUAL HOUSES ARE MOST IMPORTANT. I WOKE UP AND THE DREAM ENDED AND I’M STILL SPOOKED EVEN THOUGH IT’S GONE. LEARN HOW TO PRAISE GOD AND THANK JESUS AND BEG HIM TO SAVE YOU BEFORE THE PLAGUE HITS. LEARN HOW TO REBUKE AND HAVE DISCERNMENT TO KNOW RIGHT FROM LEFT. YOU NEED TO BEG NOW OR YOU WILL DIE. DON’T WAIT FOR LATER AND STOP MESSING AROUND. THIS IS LIFE OR DEATH.
Warning. Warning. Warning. No time to waste. Get on your knees. Last chance. It’s coming down. Be ready. Don’t let the master find you with no oil. You need that oil or you might not make it much longer. This is a warning from the Lord. Take it with utmost fear of what is about to happen. Ask Him to show you what I’m talking about and He will reveal to you, but DO NOT brush this off for you have been warned and you will be the one dead if you are not prepared and are the victim of this and it will traumatize you for life.
Just humble yourself for the Father’s sake. He has a better life for you. Don’t hold onto this worldly stuff. It’s going to disappear tomorrow in the blink of an eye. Get rid of your phones when this strikes because you take one look at these demons without rebuking and you’re dead meat. You will literally be hallucinating demonic things. People eating each other. Them eating you. The worst horror movie times 1000. It is not a joke. This is not an, “OH, I’LL SEE WHEN I GET THERE.” If you spend time with the Lord He can show you the impossible that you ask for but not asking is your first and possibly last mistake.
God have mercy on us. Break down and lament and mourn for the day is here. You will not escape anywhere. Brace yourself. The only safe place is taking refuge in the Lord. In the name and by the blood of Jesus you are saved. Never forget that. If you want to prove how strong you are, fight your own desires and lusts to go places, buy things, look good. It’s all vanity and you’re wasting precious minutes of grace. I wouldn’t warn you in this manner if this wasn’t as severe as I’m saying but trust the Lord when He’s calling.
None of this was me speaking. This was all poured over me by the Holy Spirit after waking up and truly, the darkness didn’t end when I woke up. It engrosses you and it’s very very serious. I beg the Lord for your sake, take this to Him for confirmation. Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Amen Amen. Thank you Jesus, thank you Father God, thank you Holy Spirit. Amen.
