If you have ever attended a Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) service, you may have come across the term “JIHMARTA.” It is a word that is frequently mentioned by the prophets during their prophecies and spiritual consultations. But who or what exactly is JIHMARTA, and why is it significant in the CCC?
JIHMARTA is an acronym that stands for the names of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. It represents the spiritual lineage and authority that the prophets in the Celestial Church are believed to possess. Each letter in JIHMARTA represents a specific apostle:
– J: James, son of Zebedee
– I: John the Apostle
– H: Thomas the Apostle
– M: Matthew the Evangelist
– A: Andrew the Apostle
– R: Simon Peter
– T: Thaddeus (also known as Lebbaeus the Apostle)
– A: Andrew the Apostle (yes, there are two Andrews in JIHMARTA)
– J: James, son of Alphaeus
– U: Jude the Apostle (also known as Judas Thaddeus)
– D: Philip the Apostle
– A: Andrew the Apostle (the third Andrew in JIHMARTA)
The reason why most Celestial Church prophets mention JIHMARTA is to affirm their spiritual authority and connection to the apostles. These prophets are believed to receive divine messages and guidance from these apostolic spirits, which enable them to prophesy and provide spiritual consultations. By mentioning JIHMARTA, the prophets invoke their spiritual lineage, implying that their prophecies and messages come from a higher source.
Moreover, JIHMARTA serves as a reminder of the significance of the apostles in the Christian faith. It underscores the belief in the continuation of spiritual authority from the time of Jesus and his disciples to the present day. By acknowledging JIHMARTA, the Celestial Church emphasizes its adherence to the teachings and legacy of the apostles.
It is worth noting that although JIHMARTA is widely recognized and respected in the CCC, not all prophets may mention it in their prophecies. The decision to invoke JIHMARTA during a spiritual consultation is ultimately up to the prophet and the guidance they receive during the session.
In conclusion, JIHMARTA represents the names of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, and it is frequently mentioned by prophets in the Celestial Church of Christ. It symbolizes their spiritual lineage and authority, affirming their connection to the apostles and their ability to receive divine messages. By invoking JIHMARTA, the CCC emphasizes its adherence to apostolic teachings and the continuation of spiritual authority from Jesus’ time to the present day.
