APRIL 17, 1988

GENERAL UP-DATE The CHURCH DECISION seen and discerned this January 1928 revealed that Gods children Christians in America on a broad basis have 'decided' to loose Satan and to bind Gods Help - favoring or preferring JUDGMENTS over MERCY. The second DECISION made by The Elect of Christ this February 1988, that could OVERCOME the 'general church decision for JUDGMENTS', proved to be 'too little too late' - and tho the Elect DECIDED to OVERCOME JU U DGMENTS, that

decision came past Jesus deadline. Thus, a clear pattern for events in the future is now set -- JUDGMENTS will now have prescedence coming first and OVERCOMING MERCY will come after judqments.

The singular hope of changing this has to do with a new cassette tape entitled "HIDDEN BY DECISION" produced this April 1988. Back in 1985 Jesus cave us instructions about making this tape - and His Purpose is apparent--its designed to inform and present Christians with he OPPORTUNITY to change the present situation. If the NET OF PRAYER increases in numbers of intercessors(the hope of this tape)--then its possible by increased intercessory rower the NET OF PRAYER can OVERCOME in Christs Jesus Love and Authority. If the NET OF PRAYER does not increase in intercessory power --then while we will obtain MERCY thru prayer against coming judgments - even so for want of new intercessors, millions will perish.

JESUS WORD on April 10, 1984 "YOUR UNDERSTANDING LASTLY IS CORRECT.. .BY #572 DRAWN APRIL 3, 1984, SET IN MOTION THE MAJOR t AR IN WHICH UPWARDS OF 18 MILLION AMERICANS CAN PERISH AND 20 CITIES BE LAID WASTE. WHAT THE NET OF PRAYER PRAYS TO DETERMINE NOW IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE FULL JUDGMENT - ONE IS SET, THE OTHER WILL BE SET AND THEN TH E WHOL E TIMING OF JUDGMENT WILL BE SET IRREVERSIBLY.

In 1984 we saw the Beast-man Hart break loose in the nation and judgments of all sort broke began a pattern and set in motion the major war Jesus long warned of -with the present Beast antiChrist, when it breaks thru into this world --the patterns of 1984 will be DOUBLED - from this point in time(unknown now), the FULL JUDGMENT will have been out as well - this

SET DOUBLED TWICE according to Gods Law governing judgments. From that time, Gods Times governing Judgments will be set in motion, the full judgment culminating in the destruction of this nation(90% dead) and its invasion and occupation will be underway.

Its clearly discerned that what the NET OF PRAYER does now in prayer(with or without a fresh infl ux o f interc essors) in this 1988 i s wh at JE SU S spoke of Aril 10, 1984(above).

JESUS WORD DECEMBER 14, 1985 (we asked Jesus about making cassette tapes) "YES MY SON, MILLIONS OF LIVES ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE CHURCH. 5 MILLION LIVES COULD BE SPARED IF THEY WHERE TO REPENT, ALLOW MY HOLY SPIRIT INTO THEM AND TURN TO ME IN PRAYER. THIS PROJECT IS THE LAST MAJOR EFFORT TO TURN MY PEOPLE AROUND. IT WILL APPEAL TO THE INTELLIGENCE AND IHE HEART O F THOSE WHO WILL LISTEN...ENTITLE THI S TAPE "HID DEN BY DE C ISION".

In harmonizing JESUS WORD over the y ears, seeing that much of what He said years hack pertains to this 1988 - thus what Jesus said April 10, 1984 applies to this 1988.

GENERAL UP-DATE (contd) Again harmonizing Jesus Word over the years, we have come to discern generally that it boils down to this: 1. 4.5 MILLION AMERICAN LIVES and 4 to 5 US CITIES are in Satan-Lucifers power to destroy based on CHURCHDECTSIONS of 1987. This loss of life will come thru the accidental nuclear exchange between Russia and U.S.A. a December 14th.

2. APPROX 4.5 MILLION AMERICAN LIVES and 4 to 5 U.S. Cities can be spared once prophets of this ministry are able to qo out(new car needed and funds) to prophesy in mercy. However the opportunity to do this will only follow a time within which INTERCESSION obtains MERCY against JUDGMENTS coming. y 3. APPROXIMATELY 4.5 MILLION AMERICAN LIVES and 4 to 5 U.S. Cities can be spared b NET OF PRAYER INTERCESSIONS with present N.U.P Intercessory strength.

4. APPROXIMATELY 5 MILLION AMERICAN LIVES and 5 U.S. Cities can be spared by an influx of new intercessors joining the NET OF PRAYER - as found by the new tape "HIDDEN BY DECISION".

This taping production JESUS has made our first priority.

Hots many new intercessors we need in NET OF PRAYER to OVERCOME the present "Prescedence Over the years I have seen that JUDGMENTS have because of Church Decision" is not known.

JESUS has calls on those who are to respond, and somehow by Holy Spirit direction these tapes will get into the hands of those who need to hear it. What they DECIDE will determine the outcome of 'possibility #4 above'.

The January 1988 General Church Decision to LOOSE JUDGMENTS was compounded by the 'late' Elect Decision to OVERCOME Judgments in favor of MERCY. The effect of this is that NEEDED BLESSINGS whereby we can prosper(have the materials needed) in Gods Call and Work set before This is a review of our current situation here. us is hindered.

NOVEMBER 1987 to MARCH 1988. In this time we worked to qo out on the EAST COAST TRIP, but

funding whereby this would be possible did not come when needed resulting in a more extended waiting period. This proved a trouble in itself. Judy-PAULINE occupying the 4th prophets post of this ministry was a 'key' to being able to accomplish the prophetic mission - thus For this to keep Judy-PAULINE available we had to provide her support(rent, food, needs). reason, the only hope we had of overcoming the 'overhead costs' was by the Promise of seeing funds MULTIPLIED. As shared, tho that Promise was there, it was BLOCKED by the January 88 DECISION that said NO to Jesus and YES to Satan. The Promise re-newed in February 1988 but now the OVERCOMERS Decided too late, past Gods deadline--and again the Promise was BLOCKED. Result - tho we had the funds for the trip, we had no new car - a must. In effect, Lucifer gained the upper hand and so we have prayed to overcome the REVELATION BLACKOUT that ensued.

HIDDEN BY DECISION is JESUS TERM REVELATION BLACKOUT is mine - the two are the same. The DECISION to loose JUDGMENTS will automatically empower Satan to BLOCK Blessings and this includes REVELATIONS. The NET OF PRAYER to be effective(being few in numbers) needs to y specifically. BLOCKED as oray KNOW specifically what judgments are coming and thereb ray.

Over the years, once a Church Decision we are, its been a trial to get insight on how to q y declines. Near the end of February p is made that LOOSES Satan, our financial su port sharpl I could see the handwritina on the wall and by the end of March 1988, we had to counsel Judy-PAULINE to seek a job. Support following the last newsletter dropped to a low-low, and except for a Qift from a regular supporter near months end, we would not have made the From the end of March up til this last week, all ministry work came to a April rent. halt, and we went from hand to mouth, so as to speak for the next 3 weeks.

IGENERAL UP-DATE (contd) p ;s way the 4th pro hets post would not be vacant - if this were to happen, it would give Lucifer opportunity to initiate deadly judgments right now --with Cathy-MARTHA standing-in The Honda car proved to be in worse the last years MERCY will now end this AUGUST 1988. shape than I thought --it required a whole new tranmission, new brakes and new clutch --all told it came to $745 plus 5200 in gas, motel costs, and meals for the 4 days in Hermiston and back.

The plan to send out special confirmation sheets to NET OF PRAYER Intercessors to affirm destruction of missiles should have started by the end of March -- but finances left us unable to move ahead and only in this last week have gifts increased to where we can begin to recover and move ahead and do this.. These confirmation sheets are included in this g newsletter. Posta e for this newsletter and mailing of tapes will run $250 -- this we will have by tomorrow --cost of printing will run another S3D0 approximately. So tho this newsletter was ready to go by the end of March, its been waiting for support, it may be another In the last years we have seen Satans strategy, its week or more before we can print it. alwa y s the same. CHURCH DECISION rejects Jesus Word --Satan now works thru circumstances

having grounds to pin the HOP, and at the same time, Satan moves to triager judgments -its a free for all for the Devil. Only this time its far more serious than ever.

INTERCESSORY STRENGTH OF THE MET OF PRAYER. Its hard to know if all in NOP are praying - but over the years a way to know came into view. When MOP is praying and in full unity, the financial support of this work is steady. A stoppage of support usually indicates that prayer support is also low. Thus the NET OF PRAYER is not presently operating at full intercessory potential. " week ago, Nancy-TONI & I regarded the finances over the past month and realized that at

is level of support, the ministry would shut down inside of a month. JESUS WORD to us gavf a clear priority, the CASSETTE TAPES, and this we will pursue for the next days thru to We have put out to NOP Prayer Leaders and others, a request for their April 25/26, 1988. discernment on the issue of 'seeking secular work. Once we complete the TAPE PROJECT, we should have all discernments in from prayer leaders. Our present thinking is this: (1) Nancy-TONI & I plan to seek secular work this coming May, the purpose being to keep the ministry functional at some level. (2) If we are unable to find jobs, we will probably have All Ministry to give-up the rented trailer, and live with Nancy-TONI's parents for a time. records would be put into storage. Again the purpose is to entrench financially, to keep the ministry operating at some level until we can accumulate funds to where we can return to a more normal level of work.

JESUS in November 28, 1984 made it plain that if we seek work, that it would result in the deaths of 26 Million Americans. JESUS in that Word provided a PROOF of His Word, and in detail described the Volcanic explosion and resulting 25,000 dead in Colombia November 1985. y seek jobs, the 26 Million American With this proof clearl in view it means that once we do happen we don't know. JESUS in When it 1 ./ill lives will be lost, it will be irreversible.

1984 made it plain that WE DO NOT DECIDE, THE CHURCH DECIDES if we seek work or not. We are awaiting the prayer leaders discernments, and we are submitted to the church decision about jobs or not - as Jesus showed us we are to be in submission.

MET OF PRAYER INTERCESSION as it continues, accumulates and at some point it will OVERCOME the adversities of the present situation. We have cut operations to bare bone minimum in the last month; but if this measure does not work - we will seek work in MAY depending on the discernment of prayer leaders in HOP and other Christians asked to Dray and discern.

-s ne issue of 26,000,000 AMERICAN DEAD if we seek jobs is something we need review. Frankly, the revelation then didn't thrill me, it still doesn't; but I've come to have a certain 'holy indifference' about it, as Jesus said THE CHURCH DECIDES, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.

26 MILLION DEAD -- IRREVERSIBLE

In early 1982 JESUS told me He wanted me to work full time for Him thereafter, since that time I have, doing by faith and its been both feast and famine at reoular intervals.

i

In 1980 JESUS first clearly told me. He had sent me, commissioned and anointed me to stand in the GAP for America, and even then He spoke of CHURCH DECISION, saying it 1980 "THE DAY YOU STAIID ASIDE BLOOD WILL RUN ANKLE DEEP'.

Jesus led me to share His Word in the next newsletter and as I recall, about 40 christians asked to be taken off the mailin g list once they read what Jesus said. I suppose those that didn't like what Jesus said didn't realize that I didn't like it either. This ministry has been so small for so lono, yet Gods Word makes it clear that the authority and responsibility vested in the prophets of this ministry and in the NET OF PRAYER is awesome. Revelations like this are 'uncomfortable' and hard to cope

with, one is ever confronted with the temptation to escape the responsibility.

In 1981 because of CHURCH DECISIO(again support was low-low) JESUS showed me that I had to resign the ministry, that was the Church Decision then, and I did on July 17, 1981. This same day, hours after I resigned and STOOD ASIDE of the GAP, a Hotel in Kansas City suddenly collapsed on hundreds of partying quests, crushing to death 111 instantly --BLOOD RAN ANKLE DEEP as survivors reported--huge steel girders crashed down on the people, crushing them to death and so a flood of blood ran across the floor ankle deep.

I shivered as I watch news

reports of that July 17, 1981 disaster. JESUS WORD speakinq of the consequences of rebellion and disobedience are not pleasant - but His Word is True. JESUS called me back into the ministry by November 1981.

This was not the first time I had seen this kind of thing , three years earlier in 1979 I was hounded and challenged by some ministers who on hearing what Jesus told me demanded I provide a PROOF to know I was a prophet of Jesus.

Then after quite a bit of abuse, I wanted out - and sinned, by rebelling against Gods Word. JESUS had told me He placed a great authority in me, and now I wanted out from under all this so I exercised that authority in disbelief, praying and saving "Jesus you say I have this authority - so in that I require a tornado to strike New England October 3, 1979 at 2pm local time. There will he at least 3 dead and this will be on national news and I'm to see it - elsewise I will quit the ministry knowing all this is false." My prophet partner Cliff had done this months earlier, nothing

happened - so he quit. I felt safe in doing this, all I wanted to do was live a normal life and get away from all these pesty christians and Christian ministers who never ceased testing and challenaina me. October 3, 1979 at 2pm, a town in New Enaland(Connecticut) enjoyed a brisk autumn day, sunny, no clouds, and cool air. Suddenly out of nothing, people saw a massive black funnel cloud form over the town, it set down and that powerful tornado levelled the town killing 3, injuring 500 leaving a path of destruction 3 miles wide, 5 miles long.

President Carter declared the area a national disaster, it was top news, I saw the television news reports. The weathermen were astounded, even in tornado season they never had seen tornado's that far North --but a tornado in autumn! I was horrified and shaken. Cliff had prayed this way - nothing happened; I prayed this way and it happened exactly as I required.

I repented and JESUS reminded me sharply "I HAVE GIVEN THIS AUTHORITY TO YOU FOR MERCY NOT JUDGMENT." It took me a time to realize what had happened. In 1979 the way I `gad prayed I had selectively STOOD ASIDE of an area of New England U.S.A., and PERMITTED Satan to bring in a JUDGMENT in a specific way - so he did. From this time I understood that under Gods Anointing and Ordination I stood in the GAP between JUDGMENTS of death and destruction, the consequences of sin AND this nation. If I STOOD ASIDE, men would reap what they have sown.

As the years passed sin multiplied and so the consequences of sin exceeded the Godly authority vested in me to withstand it, so the NET OF PRAYER was formed in 1980, which now in prayer covered what I could not cover - a g ain for MERCY's sake. The time within which men might REPENT and turn from their sins was running out. In 1985 the weight of sin exceeded what the NET OF PRAYER could do, and so Jesus brought in Nancy-TONI the 2nd prophet --and in 1986

THE STAFF & SWORD MINISTRY

APRI L 1 8, 1988

JESUS brought in the 3rd pro p het of the ministry Steve-JOEL via Dave-JAMES, and lastly in 1987 JESUS brought in the 4th prophet of this ministry Judy-PAULINE via Cathy-MARTHA. Each the prophets extended MERCY to this nation for one y ear. This August 1988 the prophetic MERCY runs out and so if the NET OF PRAYER does not increase in intercessory power and numbers, the consequences of sin will beqin to overflow, jud gment will come irresistibly.

So if you see the potential loss of 18 MILLION Americans depending on NOP Prayer, Prophetic Intervention and New NOP Intercessors-- the issue of 26 Million dead is entirely different, its based entirely on what judgment I hold back in Gods anointing so long as I do not STAND ASIDE. In late 1984, finances were again low-low, to the point where I could barely feed my family and I thought seriously of seeking a job to support my household and work with the gifts that came in for the ministry to keep the ministry going. From 1974 to 1982 I had taken jobs at intervals and lived by faith at intervals, so it seemed to me the thing to do - get a job.

What I didn't realize then was that as sin multiplied, the consequences of sin(death and destruction) had accumulated over the years to the point where if I stood aside now -26 Million Americans would die. But I didn't know this on November 28, 1984, and when I sought Jesus 'ok' to getting a job, JESUS said this [ November 28, 1984 ]

[1]

[2]

"MY SON, I HAVE NEVER ASKED YOU TO WORK FOR ANYONE OUTSIDE OF ME. YET I WILL BLESS YOU IF YOU SEEK A JOB APART FROM MY WORK. YOU WOULD PRAY, EVEN SO, IN SEEKING A JOB YOU WOULD STAND ASIDE...COUNT THE DAY $ AND YOU WILL SEE IT BEGIN THAT LEADS TO 26 MILLION DEAD IN SUDDENESS AND NOTHING CAN SPARE.. .AS YOU DECIDE TO SEEK A JOB, SATAN WILL ENTER IN ALL POWER TO DO ALL HIS WILL IN EARTH. MY BODY WILL TREMBLE IN FEAR THE DAY YOU DECIDE TO STAND ASIDE AND BLOOD WILL RUN AS NOT SEEN BEFORE.. .MY BODY DECIDES, WHAT THEY DECIDE IS MY DECISION - YOU WILL HAVE NO CHOICE. YES, AS I HAVE SHOWN YOU THE MANTLE FOR 5,000 MILES LINEAR FROM CENTER POINT BETWEEN MAMMOTH AND SEATTLE IS NEARING THE SHATTERING POINT - THE SAME AS THE MID POINT OR MID STREAM. ROCKY LAYERS ARE BENT AND SINCE NOVEMBER 23RD CRACKS ARE SPREADING BY THE HOUR AND DAY. IF IT IS ALLOWED TO BREAK AND BURST, IT WOULD DEVESTATE MANKIND. I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS THO MY BODY WOULD, I OVER RULE IN THIS.

[3]

A PROOF IS ASKED, SO A PROOF IS GIVEN - COVERED IN BLOOD AND BRAIN IS SHE, SUDDEN TO HORROR, BUT MORE, BLOOD RED RUNS TO PALE PINK AND FADES TO DARKNESS CLEAR. UNDER THE DEPTHS IT SHATTERS, A WIND GOES BEFORE A MIGHTY CREST, THE SLEEPING SEE NOT, HEAR A TERROR AND INTO SHALL MEN DECIDE YOU STAND ASIDE? YOU KNOW IN DEATHS ABYSS THEY SINK SUDDEN AND FINAL. ME, BUT ITS HIDDEN BY DECISION. THE DESTROYER MIGHTY MERCILESS SHARPENS HIS SWORD FOR THE KILL, WAITS, ENCOURAGES , TEMPTS MEN TO DOUBT THAT HE GAIN HIS BOUT. WILL YOU STAND ASIDE? LET THEM DECIDE.

[4]

THE NET OF PRAYER, THEY GROW IN STRENGTH, IN NUMBERS AS WELL, THEN SHRINK WITH SHAKES, MIGHTIER YET THEY STAND IN ME. BUT FOR THESE WHO LOVE-ENDURE, HO HOPE WOULD ENDURE THE DAY THAT COMES. LET THEIR PROPHETS CHRIP AND BABBLE AS THEY HAVE, BUT MEN WILL LOOK BACK AND KNOW THIS WORD TRUE."

As JESUS spoke to me, again I was shaken by what He said, Jesus revealed terrible thinns were near and I had to be especially circumspect in my actions. fly DECISION was to no on in Christ, not seek a job: but I also noted that over and over, whether I STOOD ASIDE or not, was a CHURCH DECISION, not mine.

I saw a simple sequence by what Jesus said: 1.

2.

3.

4.

The CHURCH would DECIDE if I stood Aside or not.

A "PROOF" would come whereby His Nov 28, 1984 Word would be KNOWN to be TRUE. The NET OF PRAYER was vital to the HOPE FOR MERCY against terrible judgments.

JESUS would not permit an explosion of Mammoth Parks Calif that would devestate mankind.

TWENTY-SIX MILLION DEAD - IRREVERSIBLE (contd) 6. JESUS spoke of false prophets"those who CHIRP & BABBLE"--these speaking out of their own spirits would work to preach PEACE when there was none, to lead Gods children to rebel against His 1,4ord, to believe a lie. (.see Jeremiah chapter 28) Three months later JESUS again spoke to me, this time revealing in detail great earthquakes to strike the U.S.A., volcanic eruptions of lammoth Parks, Mt Rainier, war troubles with Russia--and He made reference again to the importance of NET OF PRAYER Intercessions. But iri n i 5 reuraury co , I 1bD worn JESUS brought My To Cus to this part of Ms Word: "... IN MEXICO ERUPTIONS TO STUD! EVEN MORE, BLOOD SPILLED AND DEATH OPENS WIDE ITS 1OUTH TO DEVOUR MEN SWIFTLY...LET THE CHURCH DECIDE..."

JESUS also mentioned a time when I should be sent out on a prophetic mission, I lacked the funds and didn't leave on time.

What I noted about His February 26, 1985 Word was that it seemed connected to His November 28, 1984 Word - an enlarnennent. But both Words lacked any hint as to timing as to when these things would happen -- the most obvious thing was that following a CHURN DECISION where I would either STAND IN THE GAP, or STAND ASIDE --it would begin or not.

Now on the road by May 1985, to give FINAL WARNINGS with urgent calls to p rayer for San Francisco, PTonterey, San Diego, Houston-Galveston, St Louis, Chicago and Cleveland. The response by church pastors and christians was nil. Now JESUS moved me to go to the Gulf areas starting with Brownsville Texas, to warn of comin g hurricanes that 1985, calling all to pray. Recognizinq an early judgment pattern starting, knowing it was Lucifer at work, I KNEW the first major hurricane would strike the Gulf Coast of U.S.A. September 2, 1985 unless prayer changed it.

In travelling thousands of miles by car, my funds were near Ty exhausted but gifts from NOP Intercessors provided a sum whereby I could go to the Gulf area.

Travelling from San Diego to Texas in late June 1985 was an experience, without airconditioning 0 I had to drive thru 118 desert temperatures and act heat stroke, this added to high blood pressure from all the stress of road travel led to internal bleeding. I seldom had funds to make a more relaxed trip, the longer you stay on the road the more it costs - so speed and constant work was the only way to stretch funds - the pace was killing. While I travelled I also had to compose and type and print PRAYER CALLS --all told it was something like chewing gum, playing a harmonica, cooking dinner and running the 100 yard dash all at once. Why did I, do I work like this?

As I abided in Jesus, His Love filled me and I carried in my heart a concern and love for others lives - knowing this work could save many lives, I counted my own life as unimportant.

I gave it my all.

Now in that June of 1985 JESUS Commissioned me to prophesy along the Gulf Coast from Brownsville Texas EASTWARDS thru Corpus Christi, Galveston-Houston, New Orleans, to Florida --to prophetically forbid Lucifer from touching the Gulf Coast areas with hurricanes in Jesus Name.

This Commission excited me, for when Satan-Lucifer STARTS Judgments he must conform them to JESUS WORD revealing judgments --and JESUS years back clearl y revealed that judgments run a 3 step sequence (First) STORMS, (Secondly) QUAKES/VOLCANOES and (Thirdly(WAR).

Since 1980 we realized that HURRICANES were specifically the STORMS that trinnered the start of judgments --if the hurricanes were prophetically Prevented from hitting the U.S.A. the whole judgment sequence would be stopped before it even fully started.

Writing letters to major ministers calling for pra y er, sending printed calls to prayer to Pastors in cities and towns along the Gulf Coast and distributing them on the streets day by day I worked my way also prephesyina and pra y ing to forbid Lucifer to touch these areas.

When I reached BATON ROUGE, Louisiana I ran out of money, I needed $400 that I didn't have to make and complete the trip to Florida, to completely shut Lucifer and judgments out in 1985

WEP1TY-SIX MILLION DEAD -IRREVERSIBLE

APRIL 18, 1988

(contd)

The day I completed the work, fallin g short of the potential, was July 24, 1985. I turned North and lodged with Christian intercessors who provided my needs, and gave me gifts to carr y on to the North. Not unexpectedl y , JULY 25, 1985 a Hurricane formed in the Gulf of Mexico - it gained strength and force and moved Westwards past BATON ROUGE, when it did, entering the zone where I had prophecied in Jesus Name, the hurricane lost steerage, its wind force dropped and it fell apart becomino only a collection of thunderstorms. I had seen in a vision a demon principality in that hurricane directinn it, when it entered the areas WEST of BATON ROUGE, the demon was destroyed, now the storm fell apart. Tho 6 more hurricanes would strike the USA in 1985, NONE of them crossed the BATON ROUGE areas to the West .

The want of just $400 to complete the prophetic mission to Florida in 1985 would now lead to the death of over 46,000 and over $10 Billions in destruction of prooert_y.

Again, what I would point out is that in 1985 the MET OF PRAYER Intercessory strength and with it, financial support, fell short of the need --that shortfall of $400 represented that the NET OF PRAYER capacity to contain judgments was being overwhelmed .

Now in that June 1985 CALL TO PRAYER distributed alon g the Gulf Coast up until July ?4, 1985 I clearly stated that the first major HURRICANE would strike the Coastal areas an SEPTEMBER 2, 1985 if there was not prayer to change it.

I realized this was very important for years hack JESUS clearly said "AMERICA WILL BEGIN DYING SEPTEMBER 2ND" and with that revelation JESUS also revealed that Satan sought a DEATH RATIO in judgments.

Those weeks of June to July 1985 I wrote every top minister(Robertson, Swagaart, Bakker, Graham) I wrote letters to Newspaper Editors, TV and Radio Stations AND to Pastors as well as passed out prayer calls on the streets of every city and town I passed thru from Brownsville Texas EAST to Baton Rouge ' ouisiana. Then I wrote the President, Congressmen, Senators as well.

I didn't ask for ,oney, but plead with them to PRAY for r 3ERCY, and to alert Christians of the need for prayer.

Not ONE responded - none absolutely none'.

JESUS now provided funds and sent me to the NOrthWest to rest and recover from my ills and told me to WAIT. At the end of August 1985 a hurricane formed and entered the Gulf of Mexico, it moved towards the prophetic zone WEST of Baton Rouge and again I saw another demon principality directing the storm, the demon changed its direction, the hurricane turned sharply and executed what weathermen said then "amazed them" an 180째 turn, and so Hurricane

ELENA struck ST PETERSBURG Florida on SEPTEMBER 2, 1985 - killing 12, destroying over $1BILLION in property.

As the response to the calls for prayer were nil, the hurricane came killing and destroying.

Now JESUS instructed me to pack-up and travel over 3,400 miles South to Corous Christi Texas from my rest area in Washington State. JESUS Word made it clear of a certain URGENCY, and as I drove Southwards. JESUS told me to write a special report coverino HIS 14ORD and the dire need for PRAYER, that terrible judgments were about to break loose if there was not prayer. JESUS would lead me to select TWENTY PASTORS in Corpus Christi, these JESUS said would REPRESENT the Leadership in the thurch System - their response would represent the response of every Pastor in America . JESUS further revealed that if TEN out of the TWENTY Pastors responded to His Call - He would intervene and judgments would p ass over. By this I then KNEW that HALF of the Pastors in the Church System were men of God called by God to their ministries and that HALF were not men of God, not called of God. JESUS set a time within which they could reply - SEPTEMBER 13 to SEPTEMBER 17, 1985. JESUS asked only this, (l)That they PRAY for MERCY, (2) That they call their congregations to PRAY also, and (3) That the y support the work of intercession_ had some hope for a good outcome - I made a record of the Pastors I sent the June 85 PRAYER CALLS to, the p rayer call revealing a hurricane would strike SEPTEMBER 2, 1985--which it did.

Many times Pastors will say"When it comes to pass, we will know he is a prophet" - so by now at least thats fulfilled, maybe they will consider Jesus urgent call for p rayer and do it.

TWENTY-SIX MILLION DEAD - IRREVERSIBL.E (co ntd) Of the twenty Pastors, ONE Pastor responded and I learned that some of the others actually discouraged PRAYER, telling Christians who got the prayer calls to disre g ard them. JESUS said of these 19 Pastors "THESE PREFER SATAN AS SAVIOR OVER ?'E." They had made their DECISION, and Jesus required I abide by it, instructing me to STAND ASIDE September 17, 1985.

I KNEW from revelations over the years that SEPTEMBER 19 , was a day for judgment and to stand aside meant BLOOD WOULD RUN ANKLE DEEP. September 19, 1985 a 8.1 Richter FARTHQUAKE struck MEXICO CITY killing 20,000 .

As I watched tv reoorts of the devestations in Mexico City, the Mexican people turned to their ministers in horror and shock askina:'l4hy did God do this to us?" and with some anger I listened to ministers say:"This is not Gods doin g , its just a natural thing, it happens."

Satan had notten what he wanted from the Church Leaders, a DEATH RATIO. It works on the same Biblical principle as seen in the multiplication of fishes and loaves by Jesus - its a thine noverned by Gods Law. In this case, it works for evil not good. There were 12 killed in Hurricane ELE.IA September 2, 1985, and now 20,000 killed in the Mexico City earthouake of September 19, 1985. Take the 12 and divide it into 20,000 and you get = 1,670. This was Satans gift from Church leaders, a DEATH RATIO of 1 x 1,670. The Devil would now move to DOUBLE this TWICE for according to Gods Law, once a thing is DOUBLED TWICE, its SET and ESTABLISHED, it becomes a Law in the Earth. Next time judgments emerge, for every person killed in a judgment STORM, Satan can kill 1,671 in a QUAKE/VOLCANO disaster, and then multiply the QUAKE/VOLCANO death toll by 1,670 in a WAR. Thus from 20,000 dead, Satan would have opportunity to kill 33,400,000 in a WAR (20 ,000x 1,670 = 33,400,000}.

Aware that Lucifer would now move to DOUBLE TWICE this DEATH RATIO, JESUS led me to extend the 19 Pastors a second chance to decide for MERCY October 6, 1985. I wrote a letter to the 19 Pastors in Corpus Christi pointing out the effect of their decision(Mexico) and warned that ANOTHER Hurricane would come that OCTOBER 1985 - if they would repent and pray as Jesus asked a greater disaster could be prevented.

But JESUS now made it plain to me that He would bring in the 2nd prophet of this ministry - that if these ministers would not pray, His prophet would care, would answer Him and come forth to extend MERCY. The ministers did not respond.

On October 13, 1985 Jesus brought me to His prophet, Nancv-TONI and on October l7tFIshe obeyed Jesus and joined the ministry work praying for MERCY. In order to extend mercy we would have to travel to prophesy mercy in - we lacked funds to go anywhere at that time, we

had to wait. i rr 1,r i_1

"COPICERNI"I CHURCH DECISION...THERE WILL BE A y EXPLOSION OF TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCE YET THE GREATER EXPLSOION IS STOPPED BY THIS UNION IN ME (referrin g to Chuck-JOHNEL and Nancy-TONI) AS IN 1983, 70130 15 THE SUCCESS RATE."

i nc HLI Ur NKAYFF Intercessory and financial support basically enabled us to complete 70%

of the MERCY needed against JUDGI +1ENTS, the want of other intercessors enough to make un the other 30% has resulted in a 30% level of judgment coming thru. From 1983 up til 1985, the consequences of sin that brought judgment had not reached the point where massive loss of life occured - but in 1985 that chanced dramatically.

What I knew from JESUS WORD of October 15th was that the EXPLOSION was a VOLCANIC EXPLOSION remembered Jesus Word of 1984, knowing the GREATER EXPLOSION referred to Mammoth Parks Calif and that this Jesus would enable us to stop - but CHURCH LEADERS had decided the 30,E would perish, this we could prevent if we had funds to leave on a prophetic mission October 28, 1985 We didn't. A day before, October 27, 1985 I saw a vision by the Spirit of God, deep in the Earth I saw and heard rumbling roaring under a volcanic mountain, the rock was cracking, shattering giving way to rising pressures of molten lava.

We KNEW it was to our SOUTH (we were in Washington State) and also SOUTH of Mammoth Parks - but where we did not know.

TWENTY-SIX MILLION DEAD - IRREVERISBLE (contd) jSUS told us that in order to stop it all - we had to leave OCTOBER 28, 1985 on the prophetic mission - we had His Commission to do so; but Jesus also ex p l ained that we had to wait for funds. While we waited, the Hurricane JUAN formed in the Gulf of Mexico and be g an ravaging

the Gulf Coast as we warned in the second chance letter to the 19 Pastors.

This hurricane JUAN was the worst of 1985, it ripped and tore at the coastal areas, roinq back to sea to gain strength and came back again and avain battering wide areas, then it moved inland and triggered hundreds of tornado's and flooding all the way to Washinoton DC --52 people died.

We took that death toll of 52 and multiolied it by the DEATH RATIO of 1,670 and came up with a figure of 85,170 to die in the VOLCANIC EXPLOSION. We even knew when - November 12/13, 1985. Funds finall y arrived November 6th and we left November 7th - now the Devil hurled a BLIZZARD in our path to stop us, and we strugaled 5 days thru a blinding blizzard of ice and snow to reach Mammoth Parks by November 12, 1985. Here we commanded Lucifer to cease troubling Mammoth, and commanded the Devil to take his hands off the 70%, the 60,000 lives.

We knew that 25,000 would die --there was nothing we could do to change that, the church leader had decided.

As we left Mammoth Parks November 12th heading East, news reports indicated a second powerful blizzard was heading our way again, it would hit in a few hours time --JESUS told us "TELL THAT OLD DRAGON TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY IN MY NAME", We did, praying so in Jesus Name and the Blizzard turned sharply and moved South blitzing Denver. We HAD to bear the first blizzard, the church had given Satan opportunity --we did not have to endure anymore in that we had accomplished the work, we could and did tell the Devil to 'buzz off`, he did!

In a matter of hours after we prophecied at Mammoth Parks November 12, 1985 --the COLUMBIAN Volcano "Nevado del Ruiz" suddenly EXPLODED, the mountain superheated, the snow on the mountain suddenly melted, a wild torrent of water and mud raced down the slopes and on November 13, 1985 the sleeping people of ARMENTO COLUMBIA heard a TERROR, the roar of the ncominq flood, suddenly the whole city was engulfed, burned , wiped out and 25,000 living ..]uls died, as Jesus said in 1984 "INTO DEATHS ABYSS THEY SINK SUDDEN AND FINAL". The Church leaders had decided I STAND ASIDE. We later learned that there were three towns around that volcano with a total oonulation of 85,000, one town was wiped out and with it a population of 25,000 the other two towns were spared - but not by chance.

How can U ristians have such authority? All things have been out into subjection to JESUS CHRIST and His Church on Earth has HIS AUTHORITY, and if its not used in prayer by Love as Jesus shows us, then its bent to Satans purposes.

Beyond this, we face a fact, a ver y real situation -- Satan HAS a DEATH RATIO, its a thing established by GODS LAW. When Satan can next re-new judgments, they will begin with STORMS and we will see that DEATH RATIO multiply from STORMS to QUAKES to WAR and tens of millions even hundreds of millions will perish. The last 3 Nears MERCY whereby the enemy of our souls was held at bay was gotten thru three prophets, the last arriving in 1987. This AUGUST 1988 that MERCY ends, and Satan can re-new and start again judgments.

A plain fact, 95% of the Church leaders in 1985 by rejecting Christ have put themselves in Satans Power - also all who follow them. Another fact - by the church leaders decisons of 1985, Mexicans and Columbians suffered great loss of life --this is BLOOD GUILT and its on the heads of church leaders and those who follow them. If they do not repent(and they are not doing that), then Satan has grounds thru Gods Law to inflict on them a judgment 1,670 times greater and thats 1,670 times 1,670 greater.

In 1984 I sought no PROOF from God - but Jesus gave that PROOF and in 1985 we saw it in ARMENTO COLUMBIA - it happened exactly as Jesus said it would.

'- 1 e are led to share this, as a DECISION whether or not we seek jobs will be/is being made it by us, but by others. The HOPE of 1988 is that PRAYER CAN GREATLY DIMINISH JUDGMENTS - that PROPHETIC MISSIONS will do even more, and that NEW INTERCESSORS can compensate for whats lacking.

This explains the "General Situation for 1988",

JOHN JACKSON - JESUS PROPHET In 1982 I heard of and would meet a young prophet Jesus raised up, his name is John Jackson.

Days ago we received a copy of John Jackson's January 20, 1988 'Prophesy up-date' in which he shared what Jesus showed him was coming in 1988.

John's tape was an answer to our prayers. We have prayed to get a clear fix and grasp on a number of revelations that have been HIDDEN BY DECISION. John's tape confirmed much of what Jesus has shown us, and in areas gave insi g hts, sniall details really that helped us For the remainder of this part of the newsletter, we will complete our understanding. share some of John Jackson's revelations with ours and draw some views.

**REVELATIONS REVIEW** This is a more specific situation report for 1988, dealing with various areas of judgments coming in 1988 and beyond. In a general view, it appears as if we are seein g the judgment patterns of 1985 re-emerge--with one exception, the demon power with the Beast antiChrist who we know to be "Wormwood" is vastly greater than what was available to Lucifer in 1985, thus actual judgments will be more intense, deadlier once the Beast can break past the NET OF PRAYER. From the time NET OF PRAYER was led to pra y about MISSILES, we have seen increased demon activity indicating the Beast is moving to ready for an attack to break in, discerning that the Beast is concerned about this, fearful of what MOP will do in prayer.

The sudden drop in finances has delayed the next step in MISSILES Prayers by 3 weeks so far, and its clear the Beast means to 'get in' before we can finish the job. That they were able to ESTABLISH & SET a DEATH RATIO thru STORMS and QUAKES/VOLCANOES in 1985, means that once they initiate STORM judgments QUAKES will follow and we cannot stop that, but with prayer and prophetic missions we may be able to DELAY it - to gain time to find new intercessors.

Again, AUGUST 1988 is the point in time when the potential for severe judgments renewing is possible.

MARCH 27, 1988 — The 220th DAY

Based on GOD THE FATHERS Revelations in 1977 and JESUS WORD also in 1977 and 1978, we have observed events every 220th day from August 20th for indications of JUDGMENTS BEGINNINGS and just wliat they might be. This 1988 since February has 29 days, the 220th day fell on March 27, 1988.

;Despite order, 1,000 Colombians refuse to evacuate volcano area UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL

3-27!

Manizales, Colombia, — At least 1,000 people remained in i their homes Sunday despite an order to evacuate the area surrounding the shuddering Nevado del Ruiz Volcano that killed 23.000 people in a 1985 eruption.

We have learned to live together with the volcano under all emergencies," said an old man, who lives in the village of Murillo at the foot of Nevado del Rutz, 12 miles southeast of Manizales.

Three minor e art hquake s shook the area Sunda • morning, without causin any damage or Injuries.

The Nevado del Ruiz volcano began spewing huge columns of ash and gasy.

Th The government immediately posted an evacuation order for the six miles surrounding the volcano. 90 miles south of Bogota, and issued an orange alert, meaning volcanic activity was potentially dangerous. The next step is a red alert, which applies when the volcano Is erupting.

Omar Gomez Melilla. civil defense director In Manizales, 115 miles southwest of the capital, said the government will continue to pressure people to flee from the danger zone.

MARCH 27, 1988 - The 220TH Da y ---REVELATION REVIEW SECTION--(continued)

BALL OF FIRE March 27, 1988 Sunday--a huge BALL OF FIRE was seen falling over Indiana, Tennesse, Kentucky.

These were the main news items of MARCH 27, 1988 --also in the news, the Nicaragua-Contra cease fire DROUGHT news, and violence in Israeli led to cancellation of Palm Sunday processions_

ine t 1KL BALL scan we have seen before, its again an indication of "Wormwood" and that means NUCLEAR DISASTER. The Quake in LOS ANGELES is an early indication of coming quakes. The eruption again of the Columbian volcano Nevado del Ruiz is even more serious. All these events cominq on March 27th are early indic ations of of judgments early beainnings, and whats coming this 1988 and beyond.

EXAMPLE: In March 28, 1978 we expected to see an early indication of an ECONOMIC JUDGMENT and that day INFLATION rose 6/lOths of 1%. Christians then could not understand how such a little increase that day, the 220th day, could mean a terrible wave of INFLATION was coming. But by 1980, this nation and the world was about flattened by INFLATION. Since 1978 we have recognized that early signs of judgments happen on the 220th day and they only increase in intensity as time passes.

The judgment patterns of 1985 were just that --early patterns of what would hit U.S.A. later, and I speak of the Mexico quake and the Columbian volcanic explosion. In early patterns, judgments run reverse order, when they re-emerge it reverses. In 1985 instead of Mammoth Parks volcano exploding or Mt Rainier exploding --the reversal was seen in Columbia --the Nevado del Ruiz volcanic explosion. In 1985 instead of St Louis/Chicago being struck by an Earthquake, Mexico was struck instead. Since these disasters happened via Church leaders !rmission, BLOOD GUILT for that falls on the American churches, they have sown and now after 3 years MERCY, still unrepentant, the time by Gods Law for REAPING comes due.

An eruption of the Columbian volcano March 27, 1988 is a clear indication that judgments are moving now against America, the U.S.A. --and Mammoth Parks and Mt Rainier are clearly involved.

EARTHQUAKE S/VOL CANOES JESUS WORD from 1984 to 1985 involving the PROOF spoke of MAJOR QUAKES on the EAST COAST of U.S.A., MAJOR QUAKES in the Midwestern U.S.A. and MAJOR QUAKES and VOLCANIC upheavals

in the West Coast U.S.A. From what showed March 27, 1988 there is no question thats its BEGUN to re-emerge.

JOHN JACKSON quote "1988 will bring more earthquakes that will be ex p erienced thru out the Unit States and the World - but especially in the United States, some will be very UnTtd intense. We will see many cosmic events, colors in the atmosphere - unusual events in the atmosphere." Unquote JESUS on February 26, 1985 when speaking of the major quakes to hit U.S.A. also said "STRANGE RUMBLINGS WOULD BE HEARD IN THE AIR...STRANGE LIGHTS-LIGHTNINGS COMING AFTER..."

What Jesus showed John Jackson about this 1988 compared to what Jesus told us in 1985 are virtually identical - Jesus gave us greater detail, and Jesus cave John the year it would begin - 1988.

HURRICANES We know and have seen for years that when demons surge into this world, STORMS are triggered --and so demons literally by their entrance cause a surge in the elements.

He know the Beast- s

p

resently outside the USA, the NDP presently blocks them.

PAGE 12

THE STAFF & SWORD MINISTRY REVELATION REVIEW SECTION -- HURRICANES (contd

APRIL 79, 1988

Now due to CHURCH DECISION from 1987 to January 1988, Lucifer is IN this nation and world with a significant force of demon power left intact, and is able to initiate judgments -all you have to do is look at the news to know that. The Beast-spirit has a vastly greater demon power -- thus the difference between Lucifers actions and the Reast actions will be intensity --Lucifer can trigger severe STORMS, the Beast will trigger terrible STORMS. This will make distinguishing between the two difficult --thats why AUGUST 1988 is in sharp focus --its the time when terrible judgments can be set in motion .

We have discerned and reported that we expect HURRICANES to re-emerge this 1988, this STORM 1st Step in the judgment sequence will be followed by QUAKES/VOLCANOES and now the enemy of our souls will move to trigger WAR. Satan plans to set in motion 9 different judgment plans this 1988, having the strategy of overwhelming the intercessory level in America thats held them off for so Iona.

As a result, we are likely to see upwards of 9 Hurricanes this 1988, something we discerned back in 1987 and we figure the worst of them will start appearing in Au gust 1 988.

JOHN JACKSON , quote "Regarding nature for 1988. There will beagreater variety of ourbursts of nature, waves crashing against the shore, strange things happening along the coast lines I saw. Also Hurricanes in the U.S.A. Tornado's, Hail Storms..." unquote The DEATH RATIO is a key here -- STORM deaths in prominent judgment starts will lead to excessive loss of life in QUAKES/VOLCANIC judgments. Since 1985, the NET OF PRAYER has had a special prayer project "The LAZARUS PRAYER PROJECT" whereby under NOP Governor Richard-

DANIEL Sydor, Christians have prayed to reduce the DEATH RATIO praying thru Jesus Resurrection Power.

Again, wanting intercessory strength needed to complete the work, we have discerned that the 1985 DEATH RATIO of 1 x 1,670 has been reduced to 1 x 600. Even this is too much.

10 dead in a STORM would lead to 6,000 dead in a Quake and 6,000 dead in a quake would lead to 3,600,000 dead in WAR. With 9 judgment plans in motion, its 9 times worse. Again and again the need NOW is for more Intercession before all this gets underway.

PRAYER IN AMERICA The DROUGHTS in America lower the lake, river and reservoir levels- but this DROUGHT in America can also be seen as a DROUGHT OF PRAYER INTERCESSION' in America. Back in 1977 Jesus showed me in visions North America covered with multitudes of bright shining l i nhts, these I knew were INTERCESSORS, those committed to prayer for this nation. As I watched, the little lights were taken un one by one(Saints going hore to Jesus), they were not being replaced, and so the whole of North America beaan to grov dim, and darkness began to cover the whole land. With that darkness came terrible judgments.

In the years since 1977 we have seen Intercession only diminish and most youna Christians are unaware of the vast power of p rayer, es p ecially prayer in unity by love with others as led by the Holy Spirit. The reservoirs of prayer intercession in America are drying up just as the nations watersupply is dryina upn.

Years ago the Lord called ONE "ZILLION Christians to gather in Washington DC to pray for America --only 40,000 Christians showed( in 1979-1980). Even so, that prayer helped to replenish the nations 'reservoir of rDraVer'. This year, this April 1988, another call is gone out for a prayer meeting in Washington DC - we cannot attend lacking funds. !Whatever g rayer goes up in that meeting this April 1988 will help; but in truth it will take much more dedication to prayer by many more to turn it around.

PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN From 1980 to 1985 JESUS revealed dangers to President Reaaans life, dancers from assassination on dangers from bodily ills and so the NET OF PRAYER was called to pray for his life. Because of antiChrist forces tryino to move into this nation, we also knew that Reaqans premature

PAGE 13

THE STAFF & THE SWORD MINIST RY

A P RIL 19, 1988

REVELATION REVIEFI SECTION --PRESIDENT REAGAN (cortd) death would only make it easier for a Beast take over in America. In 1980 and 1981 we ouhlished Jesus Word and recognized that Reaqan could die before his term of office ended, either by assassination or natural causes - but either way the powers of darkness would be

behind it and PRAYER could change that.

JOHN JACKSON "In this time I believe Ronald Reagan will pass away in office, he ma y retire, but believe from what the Lord showed me, that he will pass away and that will cause great upheaval in the United States. There is the possibility that if enouqh prayer were offered up, like Hezekiah...(his life would be extended) however it would take a lot of pra y er by a lot of people and I'm not convinced that a lot of prayer will be offered up on behalf of Ronald Reagan. I would also like to share a short vision of a 9 year old girl in our church who had an opened vision while workinq on her homework and it terrorized her --she saV President Reagan as if he were talking to a lot of people, suddenly he lurched forward...next she saw him lying on the floor, next she saw a black background and a newspaper headlines came forward saying "PRESIDENT REAGAN IS DEAD", next she saw peoples heads being cut off and then the Statue of Libertystanding in the harbor, and it fell forward into the water and she said a voice, the Lord said "PRESIDENT REAGAN WILL DIE, CHRISTIANS WILL BE PERSECUTED AND WE WERE GOING TO LOSE MUCH OF OUR FREEDOMS IN THE DAYS THAT LIE AHEAD." If this truly does takeplace because PRAYER IS NOT OFFERED UP then the system of war and the antiChrist will be greatly speeded up." Unquote On hearing this both Nancy-TONI & I remembered what Jesus told her in December 1985, how a GRUESOME SIGHT would be seen on tv, and it related to President Reagan dying. We also remember that at the same time, we discerned the Beast of antiChrist would now take the White House --the revelation was related to President Reagans death. JESUS in years past indicated and said of President Reaqan "THO HIS DAYS BE SHORT, THEY WILL NOT BE SHORTER" meaning it was not Gods Perfect Will he die prematurely but the 'catch-all is if there is enough prayer that His Perfect Will be -lone in Earth. We agree with John Jackson, seeing the same, that prayer intercession in America is too little - even so, we are now re-newing NET OF PRAYER prayers for Reagan. Maybe we cannot turn the tide, but we should try.

On Aril 17, 1988 Sunda y morning, around 6AM or so, I was asleep and dreaming, I began to wake up and as I did the dream suddenly changed, it was ver y real, it seemed I was going thru the turnmill exiting the subway underground, there were many people coming and ooina, and to my left was a newspaper stand, the newspaper man said "RENNIE..." I did not remember it all, but thought "Is he talking about Ronald Reagan?" With that the man spoke saying clearly "PRESIDENT REAGAN IS DEAD OCTOBER 3, 1988". I was in the twliqht state half way between asleep and awake, and decided to stay here to see if I could see or hear more -somewhere ahead in the dream there was a Memorial Service for Reagan at a sunny dock area where Cabin Cruisers were docked. What happened was I fell asleep, and woke two hours later.

I remembered nothing of the dream, except the part where it chanced to the subway scene.

I was impressed that the Lord spoke to me thru this dream - I considered that perhaps hearing John Jackson taae might have stirred me to think this, but in truth we have known about Reagar for years - it was not new and its been not in our focus for two years now. I took this as a Holy Spirit nudge to bring President Reagan back into our prayer focus. It is not unusual to be quickened by the Spirit of God when hearing an anointed message such as John Jacksons, so I recognized the Spirit of God had quickened me to see and hear this in the dream.

What Jesus has shown us since 1980 and John Jackson as well are identical in many respects but it is not a certainty either way --prayer can change it, but as we see there is not enough prayer now to OVERCOME these things --and since its an issue the C-HURCH WILL DECIDE, its impossible to know the outcome --except that our ex p erience reveals that the Church is more likely to NOT Pray than to pray.

Once the CHURCH DECIDES, its easy for a prophet to know what will or will not happen. Until

PAGE 14

REVELATION REVIEW —PRESIDENT REAGAN (contd) the CHURCH DECIDES, two outcomes are possible - all a prophet does is offer the Christian a CHOICE, in the DECISION Process. This simple fact is often the most difficult for Christians to understand since most think prophets 'predict' and if it comes to pass they are 'true prophets' --thats not the case. More often the effort and hope a q rophet has is to see JUDGMENT stopped, there is no joy or vindication in death and destruction;rather a sense of failure and sorrow when it happens as warned.

THE PRESIDENCY & THE BEAST ANTICHRIST Following the CHURCH LEADERS DECISIONS of 1985, by December 1985 both Nancy-TONI and I clearly KNEW by the Spirit of God that the next President of the U.S.A. would be Beast of antichrist.

In visions IN THE SPIRIT in the GAP we were afforded a unique opportunity to observe this Beast man at work, how he thinks, works, acts. We saw him persecuting Christians. Jews, and Moslems. But we noted a distinct difference between the Beast man of 1982 and 1987 -the Beast man of 1987 was followed around by the antiChrist spirit but often that Beast spirit, was not with him, then he acted like a man - but when that Beast spirit was with him, he changed dramatically, he was then determined and unafraid and murderous. Later in 1987 JESUS told Nancy-TONI that there were FOUR(4) men from whom the Beast spirit could pick -and we noted that the Beast-spirit was not yet with the Beast man, making it difficult to discern just who the man could be.

More recently we were left uncertain if the Beast-man was even among the visible candidates, but realized that even this was not important. By HOLY SPIRIT re\elation, we heard Lucifer speaking to the Beast spirit indicating that 1988 was their DEADLINE and it referred to the White House.

And aware of how the antiChrist spirit was working, we also knew that this antiChrist spirit would NOT begin influencing the new President until after he took office. The Politics of 1988 are very precarious, the untimely death of President Reagan

has been long seen as an opportunity for the Beast antiChrist to not only take over this nation but set us on a course for WAR. In praying to resolve the revelations concerning this Beast spirit coming into the White House CHURCH DECISION to reject Jesus Word caused a REVELATION BLACKOUT, so we determined to pray and wait til Jesus cleared it up. When we got John Jackson tape, we thanked Jesus for he not only confirmed all Jesus told us, but helped us get a focus.

JOHN JACKSON Quote "Politics for 1988, some very interesting things on the horizon in the political realm during this year. The Lord told me this would be a non-surprise surprise election, the mans thats elected. The Lord also told me that there are many heads which appear to be electableat the present time but that they all fit on the same body, so it does not matter who is elected, the same body is acing to take the movements. so wanted to remind you of a vision I had, where I saw the next President of the United States and he transformed into being like Hitler, he looked exactly like Adolf Hitler--hut the same spirit that influenced Hitler began to influece this man as he progressed into his Presidential office and reign that he will come AGAINST THE CHURCH IN MANY MANY WAYS, begin to come AGAINST THE JEWS, that he would be a man that Christians would begin to hate him by the end of his reign... UNQUOTE What is this BODY John see's? In 1983 in spiritual warfare we encountered a huge GOLLIATH, which we discerned was the Illumanati or New Age Movement - the HEAD was the antiChrist Spirit.

The onl y way to defeat this monster was to sever the head from the body, meaning to remove the leadership, the Beast man, AND SPIRIT -BOTH. So now its simple, it does not matter who is elected President - whoever is, will come under the influence of the Beast of antiChrist spirit. We have seen the parallels between this Beast and the spirit that influenced Hitler since 1981, only its coming to America now.

The CHURCH LEADERS Decided this finally in 1985, we can in prayer LESSEN & HINDER his reign but we have had the view that we cannot STOP it.

In 1974 I had understanding whereby I saw the HIGHEST CHAIR as meaninq the Presidential Office I`'ut in later years I discerned a deeper meaning - a dual meaning, JESUS CHRIST as the true alder of the Highest Chair in this Land.

The IRON ROD I saw even then as being a President who would bring on the nation what it has sown. In the years 1974 to 1977 many Christians disputed this Word saying "We have not rejected Jesus!" but when Jesus over the years led me to call Christians to pray for MERCY - what I saw year in and out was that they hotly rejected Jesus Word. What was on their lips was NOT what was in their hearts. They call Jesus "Lord, Lord" but would NOT do what He asked of them(Pray).

Now 14 years later it appears that the man with the IRON ROD is coming to the Presidency.

8 YEAR DROUGHT

In 1986 DROUGHT conditions emerged in the South-Eastern United States threatening crops and water supplies, Jesus then sent me to this area to pray and in that time rains came and the drought lifted, crops were soared, a bountiful harvest resulted.

Then JESUS Commissioned myself, Nancy-TONI and David-JAMES to do an extensive work of prayer over the U.S.A, covering the Gulf Coast, East Coast and West Coast areas. We completed the work to the Gulf Coast and East Coast but now suddenly support stopped, funds ran out and we stalled in cornoletiing the work to the West Coast.

In this case, it appears many intercessors wearied in well doing and ceased supporting - so the work stogoed short of being completed. After a time of waiting, JESUS WORD came whereby He instructed us to now prophesy according to the Church Decision and to SEAL THE SKIES over AMERICA, that now an P year DROUGHT would beain, and told us that when it was com p l eted it would be called THE GREAT DROUGHT. JESUS also told us that this Church Decision had LOOSED the TINY STAR, a Cosmic fire ball that would now head towards the Earth on a collison course. Some wonder why Jesus did this? JESUS didn't do it, men did!

Christians having Christ authority to BIND OR LOOSE, did not go their limit, they stopoed -port of Gods Call thus Mercy and Blessin g s were missed - they doubted when before they went j Faith --in effect they LOOSED JUDGMENTS. JESUS intervened to LIMIT the Judgments they LOOSED - in this case limiting it to a 8 year DROUGHT which we had to prophesy in in 1986.

From that time DROUGHT in the South-East was joined by DROUGHT in the NOrth-West U.S.A.

REVELATION REVIEW -- THE 8 YEAR DROUGHT (contd)

In late 1987(October) NET OF PRAYER DECISION OVERCAME the decisions of 1986 in part and so a belated prophetic mission was undertaken to Dray prophesy against quakes on the West Coast and also DROUGHT --Jesus indicated this partial work would gain a RESPITE against drought and during the prophetic work, rains came and the drought lifted as Jesus said it would.

However, now the SOUTH-EAST USA and NORTH-WEST USA are entering the THIRD YEAR of DROUGHT and its spreading as Jesus showed us it would in 1986.

I JOHN JACKSON Quote "In 1988 will be the third year of increasing DROUGHT, more states will be effected, it will continue in various portions of the SOUTH EAST and in various portions of the NORTH WEST but will soread more towards the CENTRAL part of the USA, Okalhoma, Texas. Kansas. Utah..." unuuote

BANKING CRISIS UP-DATE The news is more and more revealing the coming disaster in the Banking Industry - even so For instance HALF the few are aware of how precarious the whole economic structure is.

Savings and Loan Associations in TEXAS are 'Bankrupt --they have NOT been closed down for a simple reason --the Federal Funds to back savers deposits are insufficient to cover the sums needed and Congress, as Jesus told us in 1987, is delaying and ignoring the problem.

One major bank article sent us, published a month aao, revealed that Congress would have to appro p riate $100 BILLION DOLLARS just to cover the bankrupt Savings and Loans over the nation --something like $7 BILLION is available now, against the need of $100 Billions.

BANKS are not as bad off as Savings and Loan Associations but there are serious troubles here also - in total the whole banking system is vulnerable to a 'panic'. A variety of factors will trigger this banking crisis, oil prices, war, shifts in alliances, value of US Dollar, Stock Market drops, Gold prices - but in 1987 Jesus made it clear by His Word that the economic system could endure if Gods children had their Faith and Trust in His Promises.

But they don't, and increasing prayerlessness in the church is one strong indicator of this fact.

JESUS made it clear to John Jackson that 1987, 1988 and 1989 would be repeats of 1929, 1930 and 1931 and that period was called THE GREAT DEPRESSION. From all JESUS showed us in 1976,77, 78 and now in 1987 renewed our focus to the ECONOMIC JUDGMENTS - its clear this CRISIS is on the nation NOW, its begun as Jesus said, and its only going to deepen in intensity.

For those of us who believe Jesus Word, our best course of action is to place our Faith and Trust wholly in JESUS and keep looking to JESUS to bring us thru these troubled times.

WAR AND NUCLEAR MISSILES In 1977 GOD THE FATHER snake of a period of '572 DAYS WITHIN WHICH OUR ENEMIES WILL COME' meaning WAR, invasion of USA and occupation. In 1979 we looked for evidences of this judgment coming and on hearing of the US Plans to deploy "572 MISSILES iN WESTERN EUROPE" we knew it was develocinq. Russia from the time USA deployed these 572 missiles(Pershinas, etc) has worked hard to get a treaty to eliminate these 572 missiles. We K!EW why. Russia has a secret plan to attack the USA with a like kind of missile as the Pershing, from CUBA so long as we had the 572 missiles in Euro p e, Russia could not launch a surprise attack without being dealt a severe blow by the 572 missiles - elimination of these 572 US missiles would make it possible for Russia to launch their planned surprise attack - now JESUS took me in a vision into the KREMLIN in 1979 and I saw and heard top Russian leaders When President Reagan signed the INF Treaty with Russia planning this surprise attack.

REVELATION REVIE W - -WAR AND NUCLEAR MISSILES (contd) chis past December 1987, I noted that Russia promised to destroy 1,572 missiles --what I saw was the "572" and KNEW this meantRussia plan to attack the USA would now be able to go ahead. We are going to remove those 572 missiles from Europe, when we do, Russia with the secret missile bases they have been building in Cuba since 1979, will be able to launch a surprise attack on the USA without fear of a massive US counter stroke from Europe.

In other words, that INF Treaty is going to lead to WAR, this is what we knew December 1987.

JOHN JACKSON, Quote The United States is going to be demanded by several European countries to withdraw its troops from their soil for various reason. Russia and the INF Treaty signed by President Reagan(Dec 87), the Lord spoke to me and told me in a dream that when President Reagan signed the treaty with Russia that he signed forth the guarantee of a coming WAR. He reminded me that Russia had not kept any of the treaties that have been signed to date and they will not keep this one, in fact it will allow them to build un increasing armanents in order to bring war against us." Unquote This happened immediately after the December 1987 deadline JESUS gave us to go to the EAST COAST to pray-prophesy was not met due to lack of funds --again we can see how Christians deciding to not pray, not support a vital prophetic work for mercy,will allow judgments to come.

The coming accidental nuclear exchange between Russia and USA was first revealed b y visions of God in September 1983, What was shown to me came in two parts, FIRST I saw a vast swirling white storm covering the Gulf areas of USA in the SouthEastern parts, and in that STORM appeared the month "SEPTEMBER", then following this I saw Russian ICBMS launched by accident from Siberia head towards USA and strike Eastern central cities with nuclear blasts -likewise the USA fired a limited number of ICBMs in response hitting Russia.

In that vision appeared the month "DECEMBER". GOD THE FATHER said "CALL THE NET OF PRAYER TO PRAY, I WANT TO EXTEND MERCY'. Back then for want of funds a newsletter sharing these details was delayed 3 weeks before the call for prayer could be printed and mail out. This year, the vital work of completing intercession concerning these missiles is also 'on hold' for want of support.

The events of 1985 looked very like this, Hurricane ELENA struck the Gulf Coast areas on September 2, 1985 and sattelite photo's of the storm inland looked almost exactly like the vision God gave me in 1983. Except for the appearance of the 2nd prophet, Nancy-TONI in

1985 - in all likelihood this would have moved to completion in 1985--but Nancy-TONI did show, also Steve-JOEL and now the 4th prophet --all told gaining this nation 3 years to repent and pray.

In that time is up this 1988, watching for a HURRICANE in SEPTEMBER 1988 like ELENA will indicate the nuclear accidental exchan g e is coming this DECEMBER 1988.

Again a lot has to do with DECISIONS, and until DECISIONS are made one way or another its unlikely God will reveal to any prophet whats coming, but once the church decides, then Jesus p rophets will see whats coming--it will be bomb shelter time for America.

If I sound as if I KNOW what the DECISION will be, well I don't. But I will say this, that for these past 15 years of calling Christians to pray, each time I hone and often ex p ected they would p ray and frankly the track record of the church is that they will NOT pray more than they will pray.

GODS,PERMISSIVE, PERFECT and SOVEREIGN WILL When it comes to the subject of "GODS WILL" Christians hardly have even a basic understanding of the terms. Most Christians believe Gods Will will be done on Earth unaware that in most :aces, whether His Will is done or not relies on whether or not they PRAY for HIS WILL and are yielded to serving His Will on Earth.

GODS WILL has three distinct possibilities --the chi e fmost is GODS SOVEREIGN WILL, this His

REVELATION REVIEW - GODS PERMISSIVE WILL, PERFECT WILL & SOVEREIGN WILL contd) Sovereign Will has everything to do with BEGINNING & END, and as He Wills, it will be done with or without mans co-operation. But when it comes to whats inbetween BEGINNING & END, this has more to do with mans co-operation than we remotely seem to understand.

JESUS in years past has a number of times revealed what HIS PERFECT WILL was; but when His children, Christians, the Church rejected His Word and call to prayer --something other than HIS PERFECT WILL came. What came I came to see was GODS PERMISSIVE WILL meaning lastly God will PERMIT men to reject MERCY in favor of JUDGMENTS, God will PERMIT men to cleave to DEATH instead of LIFE thru JESUS CHRIST,and tho JUDGMENT and DEATH is not HIS PERFECT WILL for mankind, if men persist in choosing DEATH & JUDGMENT lastly God will PERMIT that.

Since I've shared so much about 1985, let me share this one example of many examples of this Way God does things. JESUS in 1985 plainly told me I was to LEAVE on a Prophetic Mission no later than MARCH 26, 1985 in order to stow judgments by prayer --BUT again it was up to Christians to DECIDE for His PERFECT WILL or not. The many Christians made deeo sacrifices to fund that work, many others did nothing, as a consequence we could not overcome the barriers financially and could not leave March 26, 1985. What happened this 1988 is the same. What I wondered about then was this "-Lord what about all those who did all they could? Would their sacrifices of love be in vain, of non-effect?" JESUS showed me that to the extent to which many did all they could in love and obedience to Him MERCY would prevail, and that to the extent others did nothing, JUDGMENT would come. It wasen't an 'all or nothing situation' - thank God for that!

The longer the work was delayed the more momentum JUDGMENTS gained, but JESUS Permitted the Decisions of some who LOOSED Judgments to take hold. But at a certain Point in time, JESUS intervened whereby those who obeyed Him and loved and did what they could took effect.

How did JESUS overcome the financial troubles? JESUS led me to buy lottery tickets in Illinois giving insight into a four digit number to come in April 1985 on a Friday a #4112.

It came, and for every $1 ticket I had, we had $5,000 -- a total of $22,800. Nothing done in love by Faith with works(sacrifices) was lost --JESUS turned it around in one day --but even then JESUS regulated the use of those funds for the prophetic mission according to the extent of obedience to His Word. Travelling over the nation from May 1985 - I reached Baton Rouge La on July 24, 1985, ran out of money --fell short of the need --as determined

by Christians who did not support.

JESUS since 1983 revealed by a factor what the trouble was --of Gods children who were called to pray and support 70% did and 30% did not --and as a result ONE THIRD (30%) of the judgments JESUS revealed could come in 1983 were not stopped, did come. Now in 1985 we saw this same factor and again 30% of the judgments came thru --in 1983 it amounted to some 300 dead, but in 1985 it came to over 46,000 dead.

In JESUS WORD of November 28, 1984 JESUS makes it plain that what HIS CHURCH DECIDES is HIS DECISION --and if its judgment then its HIS PERMISSIVE WILL, He will permit that. The judgments of death and destruction seen in 1985 were GODS PERMISSIVE WILL - in fact decided

by Christians not GOD--Christians who misused or failed to rightly use the Christ authority they have.

Also in 1984 and 1985 we see JESUS SOVEREIGN WILL, JESUS plainly stated that while HIS CHURCH would allow Mammoth volcano to explode and devestate this planet Earth --HE would NOT allow that, HE would OVER RULE in this --this is HIS SOVEREIGN WILL. Why does GOD PERMIT this kind of stuff? What we need keep in mind is that when JESUS vested His Power and Authority in His Church(each of us individually & collectively) He gave us the POWER OF DECISION over what happens in this world for MERCY and SALVATION or for DEATH and DESTRUCTION. How we use His Authority for whats right or wrong is our free will choice, His p rophets reveal what is HIS PERFECT WILL --if Gods peo ple do not then yield to His

REVELATION REVIEW - GODS PERMISSIVE, PERFECT AND SOVEREIGN WILL (contd) rfect Will then what comes is what He p ermits, and I call mans will opposed to Gods Will when operating in Christ Authority GODS PERMISSIVE WILL. Some think this is unfair --but thats unreasonable, lust as with Salvation --Jesus Paid the price to set us free of the power of sin; but whether a man receives Gods Help determines whether or not he goes to Heaven or Hell. If a man goes to Hell, is because he chooses that, its not Gods Perfect Will but God permits man a choice.

And from my own experience I once misused Christs authority to destroy a town in 1979 and what did Jesus tell me YOU ARE TO USE THIS AUTHORITY FOR MERCY NOT JUDGMENT". What JESUS told me, Jesus tells every Christian by His Word thru His prophets.

GRIEVOUS SIN ...Genesis 18:20 We have spent a week in prayer and researching the ministry records to write the script for the tape "HIDDEN BY DECISION". In that time we received Holy Spirit Insight to understand the meaninq of "GRIEVOUS WOLVES" as Paul spoke of in the Book of Acts and the key was in Genesis chapter 18 verse 2 0 and Genesis chapter 19, verse 13.

Genesis 18:20 says "AND THE LORD SAID, BECAUSE THE CRY OF SODOM AND GOr ORRAH IS GREAT, AND

BECAUSE THEIR SIN IS VERY GRIEVOUS..." Now we know that the sin in these cities was

homosexuality, and the common teaching in the church is that a fiery destruction came on them because of that sin. Years ago the Holy Spirit revealed that it was NOT the sin of homosexuality that led to their destruction but it was ACCUSATION and JUDGING. Many in these cities who were NOT homosexuals JUDGED that sin as worthy of death and CRIED to God seeking His JUDGMENT--problem was, that when God came down, being a Righteous Judge He would judge ALL Sin - thus EVERYONE sparing only Lot died. _ri Genesis 19:13 it says "FOR WE WILL DESTROY THIS PLACE, BECAUSE THE CRY OF THEM IS WAXEN GREAT BEFORE TH FACE OF THE LORD; AND THE LORD HATH SENT US TO DESTROY IT." Now long ago the Lord taught me that the sin of Adam and Eve was in fact that once they saw GOOD & EVIL, they JUDGED GOD as being EVIL, and Gods warning was that if they did this, THEY WOULD SURELY DIE. And so the Holy Spirit quickened me to see that the GRIEVOUS SIN of Sodom and Gomorrah was that THEY JUDGED GOD --this was the CRY OF THEM WAXEN! GREAT BEFORE THE FACE OF THE LORD. Years aqo when I worked a regular job, on the truck docks of Roadway Express, there was a man there who had an unclean spirit, his name was John. John would arrive at work drunk, and would shout and curse God and Praise Satan. One day in the warm up roam, and it was a very cold night, half of the men were q acked in the room, and John had an audience and decided to take me on. John basicall y said "Your God Jesus lets little children die of hunr^er and disease, He causes wars and death and misery - my qod Satan is a good God -tell me why does y our God allow these terrible thinns to happen?"

The aC some men looked at me to see what I'd say - and the Hol y Spirit moved in me, without a thought of how to answer these words came out of my mouth "Who are YOU to Judne God!?" The devilish sneer on Johns face faded away, he looked down - had no answer, the room was silent for moments and most were now uncomfortable, saying "Lets get back to work ' .

In the years from 1976 Jesus led me to call His Church to REPENT, and for a lot of years

no one asked what they were to repent of. Its well they didn't, I didn't know myself at first except for the obvious in Gods Word, 'rejecting Christ'. To reject Christ, one has to JUDGE Him. This is the sin of the church today - they JUDGE GOD as being an EVIL - and H e consequences of that sin is death, its the GRIEVOUS SIN. Christian accusing and judging ,cher Christians is no different for Christ is in all of us --this too is a GRIEVOUS SI'i and its fruit will be death to all who eat thereof.

Over the years I have seen this sin in the church over and over, its rampant but its also very subtle.

THE S TA F F & SWORD M INISTRY

APRIL 19, 1988

THE GRIEVOUS SIX (continued) Let me cite some examples of this GRIEVOUS SIN and how subtle it can be, yet obvious once you see it.

EXAMPLE #1. When we discerned thru Jesus Word on March 28, 1978 that INFLATION was the ECONOMIC JUDGMENT and it would now grow and destroy jobs, and make a wreck of the economy - we lastl y called Christians to PRAY for Gods Help. Minister after Minister utterly rejected JESUS WORD saying "God would not do that!"

Thus very many were turned away from p rayer and so INFLATION swept this nation and world in the next vears. "' GOD WOULD NOT DO THAT! "---These had subtly in their hearts JUDGED GODS WORD as EVIL, and therefore concluded it could not be God speaking. They JUDGED GOD calling Him Evil.

EXAMPLE #2. In 1976 the first NET OF PRAYER after almost 3 years got permission from the Pastor to go into the church to pra y 3 hours a da y , for 3 months, 7 days aweek seeking Gods Revival in His Church and Gods Help and Blessings for all. After three weeks of prayer a young man with terminal cancer(given by doctors less than 20 days to live) was prayed for and over by HOP Intercessors and was healed of cancer. The Pastor in a private talk disapproved saying "Well dealings like this cause nothing but trouble and divisions".

What the Pastor meant was that if the Holy Spirit leads Gods people in prayer, he would lose control or so he feared - but again subtly the Pastor JUDGED GODS HELP as being an EVIL, he too JUDGED GOD AS BEING EVIL. EXAMPLE #3. In early May 1981 JESUS revealed that Satan was moving to kill Christian leaders.

Now the Lord specifically led me to go to the Elders of a Roman Catholic Charismatic prayer Group and ask them to call their prayer meeting on Friday to pray for Christian Leaders.

The Elders did not do so - tho at those meetings half the night is spent praying for every little thing asked, even Aunt Martha's sick cat. JESUS showed us that as there was no prayer Satan was given opportunity and Jesus told us that the Pope would be shot May 13, 198' May 13, 1981 the Pope was shot and severely wounded. A NOP Intercessor who attended that prayer groups meetings approached one of the Elders and asked why they didn't pray - seeing what happened, the Pope being shot and mortally wounded.

The Elder said, "We don't believe in inward visions". Another subtle judgment --again JUDGING GODS WORD as EVIL. To this day I have no idea of what they meant by 'inward visions'.

EXAMPLE #4. JESUS had me warn of a comino volcanic explosion of Mt St Helens to happen on a certain day in May 1980. An Intercessor in NOP approached his Pastor and told him this, asking he call the connreaation to pray for mercy. The Pastor replied "When it comes to pass we will know he is a prophet".

The day we projected the explosion was a Sunday -and that Pastor was in a church service when Mt St Helens exploded, the 'boom' was heard there some 300 miles from the source and the whole church buildina shook. The Pastor on learning it was Mt St Helens,angry told the intercessor "He's a trouble maker"(meaning God).

Now the Pstor in one sense said "I was the troublemaker" but in his heart - he accused God, again he JUDGED GODS WORD as being EVIL--it causes trouble.

JESUS HIMSELF taught me very plainly that I no less than others was to REVERE and HONOR His Word that came to me.

When JESUS instructed me in 1979 to work to understand how Gods Law croverns times for judgment --Christians responded by telling me 'this was wrong to do' - when JESUS in 1983 led me to buy lottery tickets to supplement the ministry income(it did and has) Christians told me it was 'gambling and therefore evil' --in case after case its always the same, Christians constantly JUDGE what GOD is doing as being EVIL .

The GRIEVOUS SIN isJUDGING GOD as being EVIL, its partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil - its the original sin, and those that do this-nake Christ of non-effect, they abide in Law and here they will surely die unless they repent.

This is the BASE ROOT from which these terrible judgments that are coming spring from --the GRIEVOUS SIN of JUDGING GOD as being EVIL. God Bless Chuck-JOHNEL
