ADDENDUM written by: Chuck-JOHNEL
What is meant by: "JUDGMENT DAY" ? When the HOLY SPIRIT led me to entitle this Newsletter "JUDGMENT DAY", I thought to make it simply: "JUDGMENT" but was kindly corrected It was to be entitled: "JUDGMENT DAY" specifically. The Word and Revelations of the Lord God of 1977 speak of "judgment", but "Judgment Day" is something else entirely. My first insight was and is that this Judgment presently unfolding is leading to "Judgment Day". The Bible has much to say about it. "But I say unto you: That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." (JESUS in Matthew 12: 36) "...Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of j udgment..." (JESUS in Mark 6: 11 b) "But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." (2 Peter 3:7) It is apparent to me that JUDGMENT DAY, in this case, is specific to the United States. America is facing its judgment even as did Sodom and Gomorrah. From what the HOLY SPIRIT revealed to me years ago, Sodom and Gomorrah faced the Judgment of GOD, His Wrath, because there were those in that city/state that called on God for judgment of the obvious sinners, the homosexuals. The HOLY SPIRIT also shewed me that when GOD is called down to bring judgment, He will judge ALL sin. Those calling for judgment were not free of sin and so they ALL perished with the obvious sinners, the homosexuals. I perceive that this is what is happening in America, there are those who in and out of self-righteousness are calling on God to bring judgment on the obvious sinners. They are unaware that they are also bringing judgment down on themselves as well.

America is facing JUDGMENT DAY. I'm beginning to understand that this JUDGMENT DAY is what we saw in the Heavens in 2004 when the Wrath of God was unleashed. This would be a judgment on top of the judgment revealed in 1977 as shared in the main part of this Newsletter. This is a time to be very careful in how we judge, because if we are judging others this may become the measure of God's judgment falling on us. It is something to ponder, pray and abide in JESUS about. BEASTMAN OBAMA JOKES A number of comedians, most of them liberals, are telling . jokes about Obama. This tells me that his demon cover is not as effective right now. That may well change "when" his demon army breaks through and enters into this world. Here are these jokes, for something a little lighthearted: * The liberals are asking us to give Obama time. We agree. ..and think 25 to life would be appropriate. —Jay Leno * Q: Have you heard about McDonald's' new Obama Value Meal?
A: Order anything you like and the guy behind you has to pay for it. —Conan O'Brien * Q: What does Barack Obama call lunch with a convicted felon? A: A fund raiser. —Jay Leno * Q: What's the difference between Gbama's cabinet and a penitentiary? A: One is filled with tax evaders, blackmailers, and threats to society. The other is for housing prisoners. —David Letterman Q: If Nancy Pelosi and Obama were on a boat in the middle of the ocean and it started to sink, who would be saved? A: America! —Jimmy Fallon
* Q: What's the difference between Obama and his dog, Bo? A: Bo has papers. —Jimmy Kimmel

Ten years later a newsman learned that the survivors still had nightmares of that day of slaughter. They had been exposed to something very evil which drove the gunman to kill and it left their souls scarred. The same is true in Aurora, Colorado. We know who was behind the massacre.
July 20"' the Lots drew #130, a number that identifies the demon prince Wormwood, who we knew was the driving demonic power behind the massacre of July 20`'' in Aurora. He set in motion a murder spree that has spread far and wide with other shootings and killings. People will look at the gunman, James Holmes, and try to understand what brought him to do this. They are blind to what and who is really behind the massacre - a demonic entity, a spirit of death and destruction loosed in this nation by a prayerless church. You will notice that the one who best handled the attack was this young woman, Bonnie, who was aware ofGod's Presence and knew that she would be OK. Wounded but not dead, her injuries will heal, she can recover. This is the position of a Christian and I discern she is a praying Christian. Doubtless many Christians in that theater called out to God for help, prayed and this accounts, in my estimation, for his drum of 100 rounds of ammo jamming his weapon whereby he gave up and left. We are presently locked in battle `In The Spirit' with a massive number of demons trying to break into this world. What we see here in Aurora gives us a view into what these fallen creatures can do when loosed. Right now the enemy of our souls is working to undermine "prayer". Where prayer is undermined this would give them even more power over God's people. Lastly, I noted the name of the movie Wormwood elected to stage his opening killing spree, "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES." He chose that title to speak of himself, Wormwood is the "dark knight" and he is "rising." That is the message lie conveyed July 20`". The beast's demon army is slowly forcing us back `In The Spirit' and it is only a matter of time before they break into this world.

The demon-possessed are said to be "exceeding fierce, "a translation of the very same word used by Paul to describe the "perilous times " toward the end of the Church age.

THE LAMB OR THE LION - TWO POSSIBLE OUTCOMES When that murderous man walked into the theater in Aurora, Colorado, he was being driven by demons to do what he would do. He was very well armed, wearing body armor and ready to butcher most of the people in that theater. There is no question that he thoroughly planned and prepared for this night of murder. Besides his high powered rifle loaded with armor piercing ammunition, he had a shotgun and two
pistols. That only 12 died and 58 were badly wounded is a small miracle as he was equipped to do a lot more harm than that.
Page 8A
The Staff & Sword Ministry/Addendum
September 4, 2012
THE LAMB OR THE LION - TWO POSSIBLE OUTCOMES (Continued) Then the 100 round drum of ammo in his rifle jammed. I believe that it was jammed by God in response to the many Christians in that theater calling on Him for help. That this murderous individual dropped the rifle and walked away is another miracle he had three other weapons and plenty of ammo.
The difference between what happened and something much worse was God's people calling on the Lord GOD for help - they called, He answered. All those calling on God for help were "Lambs" but where were the "Lions"? When the shooting started those Christians who are intimate with JESUS would have called out :"The Lord JESUS rebuke you Satan!" or: "I bind you in JESUS' Name from doing anymore harm.!" But it would take a brother or sister in Christ who is bold in the Lord, who has faith and knows Him and knows the power of His Name and how
He has empowered us to do this. Once they did this, taking authority over the killer and the demons driving him, he would be paralyzed, unable to do any harm, he'd freeze. I know that it is easy to see everything in the natural - the killer, well armed, with murderous intent and seemingly unstoppable. But the power driving that man was demon power - take authority over the demons and the killing would stop instantly. I've seen this in my life and remember the story of a young woman in Ohio, who after attending a prayer and praise time returned home to her apartment. She was a small woman, petite to say the least. When she opened her front door she was confronted by a huge man who was stealing her TV and record player. Bold in the Lord, she shouted at him, "The Lord JESUS rebuke you Satan!" and he froze. She telephoned the police and after they arrived, the leading officer came to her and said, "I don 't know what you did to him but can you undo it? " That robber was frozen, he could not move and stayed that wayso moving him out of her house was almost like moving a statue. In Christ we have such authority. When that killer entered the theater ready to start killing there were two possible ways of dealing it it: (1) Taking authority over the demons driving him and asking Jesus to rebuke them. That would end the attack instantly. But the theater was filled with Lambs who had never been taught how to be a Lion in Christ.

THE LAMB OR THE LION - TWO POSSIBLE OUTCOMES (Continued) (2) If someone in the audience carried a weapon they could have stopped this with one or two
shots.*
But what about the body armor he wore? When you are hit by a bullet, the body armor keeps it from penetrating your body, but it hurts like heck, the pain would be severe and he might even be knocked down. That he wore so much
body armor tells me he was afraid of being shot and that he was basically a coward if he experienced return fire, he would have fled on the spot. *Note: Colorado has a concealed gun carry permit law. In fact, from what I was told, a man entered that theater with a carry permit and was armed, but he showed his weapon to his friends and some people complained to the manager who asked him to leave, so he left. I'm fairly sure that this was demon intervention to keep anyone armed out of the theater so their killer would not be faced with return fire.
Have I confronted demons and saved lives? Yes. In fact, the Net of Prayer is doing that right now big time.
GOD'S LOTS and The Lottery The Lots have a sound Scriptural basis. In fact, they were a tool of the Prophets (later the Temple priests) in determining innocence or guilt, and for dividing land among a variety of applications. For us It proved invaluable in augmenting our discernment of enemy activity whereby we could (and did) intervene in prayer warfare to defeat the enemy intentions. Somewhere along the line of time it became employed by men as a gambling device (a very popular one I might add). Here some Christians began to regard it as something evil. Gambling itself is mentioned no where in the Bible, but that did not stop the anti-gambling position. In 1980 the HOLY SPIRIT revealed that Lucifer was sending increasing numbers of demons into the U.S. and Canada, to turn the nation from God and turn the people towards sin and death. Then the HOLY SPIRIT gave me GOD'S Plan to cope with this growing invasion of demon power.

Page 10A
The Staff & Sword Ministry/Addendum
September 10, 2012
GOD'S LOTS and The Lottery (Continued) have prayer mines installed in front of and behind each of the twelve cities. These prayers mines would be laid in three different rows ( both in front and behind the cities). When denons moved to enter into the U.S./Canada they'd run into the prayer mines and be blown to bits. The way to activate these prayer mines was to buy tickets of the lead numbers, front and back. In our case, we could not afford to spend that kind of money, but we did get the prayer agreement of the Intercessors of the Net of Prayer. Lucifer tried to break in several times, each time they began the lottery number assigned to that city (front or back) would show in the lottery. We would buy tickets on the second row of numbers and activate the N.Q.P. prayers to back that system through prayer agreement. The enemy ranks were blown to bits by the second row; the ragged demonic survivors, dazed and shaken, withdrew each time. Connecting the lottery numbers to each row of prayer mines made it impossible for Lucifer to get any fresh troops (demons) into the U.S. In other actions, the Net of Prayer moved `In The Spirit' inside North America and destroyed demons. Lucifer's demonic ranks were thinning, his power base was melting away. This went on for well over a year. Finally Lucifer had a plan, he began to work by Satan to get brethren in the church to condemn us for "gambling." In mid 1988 JESUS told us that many of His people judged what we were doing as evil, they wanted it stopped (they bound us) and loosed the enemy. We had to shut-down the prayer mine system by mid 1988. Demons began i mmediately to pour into North America. ,Their influence undermined social decency, morals, the Ten Commandments and more. What we have today springs from that ti me. The Prayer Mine system in the GAP and in the Broken Cross is that system put in place from 1983-1988. One of the unique things about moving `In The Spirit' (as we did when we built the Prayer Mine System) is that we worked in an "all time is one" dimension. The sad, tragic and dangerous thing is that brethren condemned the prayer mine system which was inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT to protect His people. The judgment fell on the HOLY SPIRIT, they vexed the HOLY SPIRIT, They made themselves the enemy of God and GOD is now going to deal with them (Isaiah 63: 10), HE has become their enemy.

Beastman Obama: Failure? The consensus among some most Republicans, Conservatives, Constitutionalists, even many Independents, and now some Liberals, is that Barack Hussein Ohama is a failure at governing this great nation. This little view of things before and now tells much the tale but not all of it:
Unemployment Median Income: Gas/Gallon National Debt
JANUARY 2009 7.8% $54,983 $1.84 $10.6 Trillion
NOW 2012 8.3% $50,964 $3.82 $16 Trillion
Nationally, the actual unemployment numbers are: 23,000,000 Americans out of work. Those who give up looking for work, drop out of the government figures, so the actual unemployment rate is much closer to 14%. By any standard this is an absolute failure on the part of 0bama's governing ability. But this standard does NOT apply to Beastman Obama! In fact, he is a flaming success not a failure - he is succeeding grandly from his perspective. How can he be a success? He was sent into this world by hell with the commission
of hell to utterly destroy Christian America, to bring the nation to its knees and then to the dust - destroyed. This is what FATHER GOD revealed about the Beastmen back in 1982. Thus, from his view (Beastman Obama) he is a success not a failure. The Democrat's Platform: The platform had two missing items of some
i mportance: (1) GOD was removed/absent and (2) JERUSALEM as the Capitol of Israel was missing/absent. My discernment was that Obama was behind these omissions. Next, followed an outcry by a portion of the Democratic Party and in came Obama riding the white horse to save the day, re-inserting GOD and JERUSALEM. When a floor vote (verbal) was called to support this amendment, the loudest number of Democrats angrily resisted the change saying "NO" to GOD and JERUSALEM. Those in favor of the amendment were not as loud as those against. However, the Mayor of Los Angeles, called in to officiate the vote for the amendment, was told to read the tele-prompter which stated :"It's passed!" so no

Beastman Obama: Failure? (Continued) matter what the people wanted Obama decreed it a done deal. That is Beastman Obarna's Democracy, he dictates you follow or else. To top this terrible situation there was a booing of "God" by the Democrats when it was put back into the Party Platform.
BOOING "GOD"!!! The antiChrist spirit that drives Beastman Obama has infected this whole nation in many ways, so this kind of behavior is consistent with the presence and influence of that spirit. Even "if" Beastman Obama was to lose his re-election bid, that spirit would continue to rule and reign the government and spread its hatred of God through out this nation. In his acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention, Obama promised to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. so that we can "Buy American Made Goods " Obama Iies with such frequency that I wonder if he even knows what the truth is anymore or if he is so deceptive that he lies to us all the time as a force of habit. In Dinesh D'Souza's book, "OBAMA'S AMERICA, THE UNMAKING OF THE AMERICAN DREAM " He writes: (Quoting Page 32) "Obarna routinely advances the interests of foreign companies over those of American companies. Currently the Obama Administration is promoting in Asia a trade treaty called the Trans-Pacific Partnership. As d r afted by the Obama team, the treaty would prevent an y U.S. government contracts who advertise "Buy American "from qualifying... "Unquote)
(Quote) " In 2011 the Obama administration was faced with two bids foi a $1 Billion military contract. The contract was between Hawker Beechcraft out of Wichita, Kansas and the Brazilian company Einbraer • which is owned by the Brazilian government. The Obama Administration notified, at the last minute, that the Hawker Beechcraft company would not be considered for the contract. No explanation was given. The contract was awarded to the Brazilian competition. Hawker Beechcraft was . forced to lay off many workers... " (Unquote) After the end of World War II no paper trail could be found where Hitler authorized or ordered the mass murder of Jews and others. He gave orders verbally and it was done. Is there a connection between Attorney General Holder and "Fast and Furious" and Obama? Is there a connection between the removal of God and Jerusalem from the Democratic Platform and Obama? No paper trail, but he ordered it none the less

FINANCES First, and though we send out thank you letters, even so I'd like to express my deep appreciation and thanks for both your prayers and your gifts that helped us get our financial house back in order and to pay our bills. Our internet computer, for all practical purposes died. A new one plus added items cost nearly $700; but again because of your added support we were able to pay for it and get a replacement which is now in place and working. Personal Gifts: Now and then we receive for our personal needs and these are appreciated. I've had to go to a brand name beta blocker medicine which costs $124 a month. The generic version costs about $8 a month but was like poison to me. I've never been so sick rhan when I took the generic version. The brand name, though costly, works as well and about 98% of the troubles the generic medicine caused vanished when I took to brand name. I've needed new glasses now for about two years and it seemed that everything had priority over that. Now I've made plans to see the eye doctor and get those new glasses. So thank you for the personal gifts, they made a difference as well. Chuck-JOHNEL's Health: I get a fairly steady number of letters asking about my health. I'm dandy and as well as one can be. The problem requiring beta blacker medicine is purely physical all caused by the diabetes. Thank you for the various remedies suggested.
EARLY EVIDENCES THAT THIS JUDGMENT IS DEVELOPING NOW On the next and last page is an article about Food Banks running short. This is an early indication of coming food shortages. The drought will cause both higher prices for produce and meat as well as shortages. It wont seem serious at first but it will deepen with time. Again, we are seeing the first evidence of the emerging judgment. Part ofthe problem will be government regulations. Foods given to Food Banks have been refused because of government regulations that reject food with too much sugar, too much salt, or trans fats. The end result is that hungry people stay hungry. Now the government is not able to provide food as they have been. This is one reason why dependence on government can become a death sentence. In one case a woman made baloney sandwiches to pass out to the hungry in a city, but was stopped by the police.
