The Voice of the Twenty-First Century

Now and then we encounter a voice that moves us, a distinctive voice capable of evoking emotions, a captivating voice which quickens us in the marrow of our bones. God has given ordained Minister June Juliet Gatlin that voice.

When she speaks, people listen. She is Seer whose gifted abilities are simply described as awesome. An internationally recognized Spiritual Advisor and Healer, Reverent June Gatlin is considered a foremost authority in matters of the Human spirit. Operating within the supernatural realm of prophecy and healing, she brings our innermost feelings to physical expression.

June Gatlin has uplifted the spirits of admirers ranging in age from preschoolers to adults. She lectures in public schools, colleges and universities, devoting her energy to affirming and developing our spiritual qualities. She is an activist offering messages of hope, faith, enlightenment and personal responsibility.

June's extraordinary moral and spiritual insight is greatly respected by those who have profited from her words. Her Spiritual counsel is sought by political and religious leaders, entertainers, celebrities and business people all over the world.

June is a lover of WORDS. She believes words are like musical instruments, creatively used to give exciting entry into new worlds. She acknowledges words as the basic foundation for expressing her existence. Her initial introduction into the world of words begin about the age of three. Also at three years old she was proclaimed to be a child of prophecy by the Saints of the church. In the ancient ways of the Africans, when a child was with "Knowing" powers, they were said to be born with "the veil". Having this ability contributed to Gatlin's desire to learn more about how to express what she was sensing. She began to write at the age of five, continuing to this present with some forty-plus years of daily journals as well as over a quarter of a century of communications.

"As a child I learned to enjoy the companionship of words, especially reading them. They became my first and best friends" she says, speaking with a determined eloquence. June uses the power of words to touch the audiences she lectures. Speaking about self-esteem and positive values of personal worthiness, the Reverent encourages youth from preschool age through college and universities to get involved with words, not just reading (them), but understanding, experiencing the soul and root of the definition.

"Going into the heart of a word's creation lets us know the exactness of its reason for being."

Rev. June "reads" humans just as we read books. In her reading of an individual's BOOK of LIFE, Gatlin describes the importance of their experiences by illustrating all The Spirit reveals. As The Spirit Speaks, she communicates to stimulate the Mind and Mental Body, educate, entertain and effectively motivate transformation.. . All for the bettering of one's life and living.

"Every word in a sentence is important; every sentence in a paragraph within the overall context and meaning of the information is important. The individuals I work with have word work to do, studying and research so that they can see how a word's meaning is interpreted for their continued spiritual evolving and personal growth!"

Her ability to give voice to that which is inherently sensed is described as phenomenal. A television producer speaks of The Reverent as having an excellent command of the English language. June's working words are the reason she is consulted with and by people from all walks in life. Political and Religious leaders; Parents and Children; students; entertainers and business executives.

"The key to our surviving is the establishing of an unwavering and uncompromising sense of self-worth!" - Rev. Gatlin, CSU, Fresno, 12/91

June opportunities to guest on national and international television programs, as well as the opportunity to consult with distinguished luminaries and television and recording industry personnel. Appearances include; The Donahue Show, Entertainment Tonight, BBC-London, PM Magazine, Nightline, Eye on LA (where the electrical generators blew), The Richard Bey Show, People Are Talking, Black Entertainment Television--Our Voices and Teen Summit ... and other national and local shows... Additionally, her words have been featuring in The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Natchez Democrat, Akron Beacon Journal, ESSENCE Magazine, Upscale Magazine, Johnson Publications, CLASS Magazine and a not too thrilling fraudulent interview published by the Star Magazine, an abusive irresponsible use of words.

She has spoken empowering and prophetic prophecies to many dignitaries and political and religious leaders who respect the Word of God.

"WORDS can be used to create as well as to destroy. They can move mountains and build new worlds. I love using words to infuse energy, manifest enthusiasm, elicit confidence and support security for healing."
