    As the earliest Category 5 storm ever observed in the Atlantic carves a path of destruction through the Caribbean, we get an update on damage from Hurricane Beryl from the prime minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, where the storm hit Tuesday. He describes the disaster scenes he witnessed and discusses the rising challenge of extreme weather fueled by the climate crisis. “The developed countries, the major emitters, are not taking this matter seriously,” says Gonsalves. He says the world must dramatically reduce emissions and that the current political and economic system is “driving all of us towards, if not extinction, to a terrible, inhospitable place called Earth.”

The earth was created and is sustained by God, and God alone.​ This is weather. Storms have very bad effects everywhere, even in areas that have building codes. You will rebuild and people are resilient. Don't ever think that we will get zero emissions. YOU GET REAL. IT IS NOT SCIENCE.

      ☝️THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of His new and holy name"
      "The Work of the Holy Spirit and the Work of Satan" ... (How does one come to understand the details of the spirit? How does the Holy Spirit work in man? How does Satan work in man? How do evil spirits work what are the signs? In the actual practice of men, many appear from the will of man which men always believe to come from the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit is a kind of proactive guidance and positive enlightenment. It does not allow people to be complacent. It brings them comfort, gives them faith and stability, and enables them to pursue God's perfection. When the Holy Spirit works, people are able to actively enter; they are not coerced or coerced, but act of their own free will. When the Holy Spirit works people are happy and ready, ready to obey and happy in humility. Those who possess the work of the Holy Spirit carried out the love of God and the love of their brothers; they rejoice in the things that please God, and hate the things that God hates. People who are touched by the work of the Holy Spirit have a normal personality and they continue to pursue the truth and possess character. In such a state, when they eat and drink the words of God, they have faith; when they pray, they are inspired; when something happens to them, they are not sure; and as things happen, they are able to see the lessonsin those things that God requires them to learn. What effect does the work of the Holy Spirit achieve? When the Holy Spirit works in you, you still experience real difficulties: There are times when you will cry, and there are times when there will be things that you cannot overcome, but it is all a just a phase of the usual work of the Divinespirit Your insecurity cannot prevent you from having normal experiences, and no matter what other people say, and how they attack you, you still manage to love God. This is the normal state of the work of the Holy Spirit.)
      Almighty God said
      How does one COME to UNDERSTANDING the DETAILS of SPIRIT? How does the HOLY SPIRIT WORK in PEOPLE? How does SATAN WORK with PEOPLE? How do EVIL SPIRITS WORK on people? WHAT are the SIGNS? When something happens to you, is it coming from the Holy Spirit, and should you follow it or reject it? In the actual practice of men, many appear from the will of man which men always believe to come from the Holy Spirit. Some things are from evil spirits, but people still think they are from the Holy Spirit, and there are times when people are guided by the Holy Spirit from within, but are afraid people whose guidance comes from Satan,therefore they do not dare to follow, whereas in reality that guidance is the illumination of the Holy Spirit. ☀️
      So, unless one looks at the difference, there is no way to experience it in his practical experience; if the difference is not looked at, there is no way of earning life. How does the Holy Spirit work? How do evil spirits work? What is the will of man? And WHAT is the GUIDANCE and LIGHT of the HOLY SPIRIT? If you penetrate the consistencies of the work of the Holy Spirit within man, you will be able to grow your knowledge and see the differences in your daily life and during your practical experiences; you will know God, you will be able to understand andunderstand Satan; you will not be confused in your obedience or claim, and you will be a man whose thoughts are clear, and who follows the work of the Holy Spirit.
      The WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is a KIND of PROMPT GUIDANCE and POSITIVE LIGHT. It does not allow people to be complacent. It brings them COMFORT, gives them FAITH and STABILITY, and gives them the ability to PURSUE GOD'S PERFECTION. When the Holy Spirit works, it MAKES people ACTIVELY ENTER; they are not reluctant or FORCED, but ACT with their OWN VOLUNTEER. When the HOLY SPIRIT WORKS, PEOPLE are JOYFUL and READY, ready to OBEY and HUMBLE. Although they are HURT and FRAGILE INSIDE, they have the FORGIVENESS to COOPERATE, they SUFFER with JOY, they are ABLE to OBEY, and they have NO taint of HUMAN WILL, NO taint of HUMAN MIND, and certainly no tainted by HUMAN DESIRES and MOTIVES. 🌷🙏
      When PEOPLE EXPERIENCE the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT, they are especially HOLY WITHIN. Those who HAVE the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT LIVE the LOVE of GOD and the LOVE of their BROTHERS; They REJOICE in the things that GOD DELIGHTS, and HATE the things that GOD HATES. People who are TOUCHED by the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT have a NORMAL PERSONALITY, and they constantly PURSUE the TRUTH and HAVE a PERSONALITY. 🙏🌹
      When the HOLY SPIRIT WORKS WITHIN PEOPLE, their CONDITIONS GET BETTER and BETTER, and their PERSONALITY becomes more and more NORMAL, and although some of their cooperation may be foolish, their motivations are RIGHT, their ENTRY is POSITIVE, they do NOT TRY to DISTURB, and there are NO BAD thoughts WITHIN THEM. 🌹🙏
      The WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is NORMAL and REAL, the Holy Spirit WORKS in man ACCORDING to the RULES of NORMAL HUMAN LIFE, and He realizes LIGHT and GUIDANCE within PEOPLE in accordance with the ACTUAL PURSUIT of NORMAL people. When the Holy Spirit works in people, He guides and enlightens them according to the needs of normal people. He provides for them according to their needs, and He positively guides and enlightens them according to what they do not have, and according to their deficiencies. 🛑🙏
      The WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is to LIGHT and GUIDE PEOPLE to TRUE LIFE; only when they EXPERIENCE the WORDS of GOD in their ACTUAL LIFE then they are able to SEE the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT. If, in their daily lives, people are in a positive state and have a normal spiritual life, they possess the work of the Holy Spirit.
      In such a state, when they eat and drink the words of God, they have faith; when they pray, they are inspired; when something happens to them, they are not sure; and as things happen, they are able to see the lessons inthose things that God required them to learn. They are not timid or weak, and although they have real difficulties, they are ready to obey all God's arrangements.
      WHAT EFFECTS does the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT ACHIEVE? You may be foolish, and you may not have a clue, but the Holy Spirit only has to work for you to have faith, and you will always feel that you cannot love God enough. You will be READY to HELP, no matter how severe the SUFFERINGS that come. Things will happen to you and it will not be clear to you whether they are from God or from Satan, but you will be able to wait, and you will not be uncertain or careless. This is the normal work of the Holy Spirit. ☀️
      When the HOLY SPIRIT WORKS within you, you STILL EXPERIENCE real SUFFERINGS: There are OCCASIONS that you will BEAR TEARS, and there are OCCASIONS that there will be things that you CANNOT OVERCOME, BUT ALL of this is just a PHASE of the NORMAL WORK of Holy Spirit. Although you did not overcome those difficulties, and although at that time, you were weak and full of complaints, you still managed afterwards to love God with full faith. Your indecisiveness CANNOT STOP YOU from having NORMAL EXPERIENCES, and regardless of WHAT other people SAY, and HOW they ATTACK YOU, you STILL do LOVE GOD. During PRAYER TIME, you always FEEL that in the PAST you OWE GOD too MUCH, and you DECIDE to PLEASURE GOD and AVOID the FLESH whenever you are faced with such things again. This POWER SHOWS that the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is PRESENT within you. This is the normal state of the work of the Holy Spirit. 🙏
      From "The Word Appears in the Flesh"
      Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Rev. 19:9,13)
      📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/CZcams! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥
      "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 📤

      If you take the time pay attention and listen you will seethe the predictions of a warming planet are coming true. When we have this kind of weather even like you describe it's due to the instability of the jet stream and warming seas.It's hotter where I am and the fog over the past twenty years has drastically lessened. We had winter storms that were like none seen before. Just because it's colder where you are doesn't mean the planet is not warming. You cannot take one area and say it's cooler than usual so it must be cooling. Pay attention there is plenty of scientific information available to you. Seek it out get with the program because no of us are going to be spared.

I know because I was born and raised there. I was there during Hurricane Gilbert. That was the only hurricane I experienced in Jamaica, while living there for 17 years.
