The Staff and Sword Ministry December 4, 2009 GETTING TOUGH written by Chuck-JOHNEL continued from pagejj The heading "GETTING TOUGH" is by HOLY SPIRIT leading/direction.

Not long after issuing new Daily Prayer Sheets to the Net of Prayer, following completion of the "Like A Mighty Wind II" Prayer Campaign (concluded November 4") we heard of a few concerns some intercessors had to parts of a prayer written by Richard-DANIEL. Although these few intercessors were not specific I good idea about which parts they had a concern about.

I perceive it is likely this part where Richard-DANIEL wrote: "... We resist and reject the devil and all their devices, looking to Jesus Christ to bring all this down upon their heads and the heads of their own..."

The Lord JESUS led Richard-DANIEL to write the prayer that way although he also wrote in this prayer, "...Lord... expose this madness, so that those who may repent and turn to Thee for salvation do so before their day of visitation is past."

There is a sound Scriptural basis for this kind of prayer: In Psalm 9: 2-5 (selections) it reads: "I will be glad and rejoice in Thee... Wlhen mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at th y presence . For thou hast maintained my right and my cause... Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destro y ed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever .

In Hebrews 10: 12-13, 28-31 (selections) it reads: "Bur this man (JESUS CHRIST),

after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies he made his footstool. ..He that despised Mose 's law died without mercy under two or three witnesses. Ofhow much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who loath trodden under _foot the Son of God and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? ...I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fill into the hands of the living God. ". (also see JESUS in Luke 20:43) Then in Psalm 18: 37-41 it reads: "I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till the were consumed. I have wounded them that the were not able to rise: the y are fallen under m y feet. For thou hast girded me with

GETTING TOUGH written by Chuck-JOHNEL (continued from page 1) strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Thou has also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not."

Or in I Corinthians 15: 2 5 speaking of JESUS CHRIST it says, "For he must reign,

till he bath put all enemies under his feet. " Or in Revelation 11: 3,6 it states: "And I will give power unto my two witnesses and

they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days clothed in sackcloth... These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues... "

THE SUFFERING CHRIST to THE TRIUMPHANT CHRIST When JESUS walked this earth the Israeli's were looking for the "Triumphant Christ", the one who would destroy all their enemies. They were NOT looking for the "suffering Christ" who would die for all their sins.

Since JESUS's time, His Church has endured persecution, martyrdom, and prevailed

by Faith in Him to overcome all the troubles sinful man has heaped on them.

Nonetheless, Scripture definitely speaks of a time when His Church will be led to "get tough" with the enemies of God, a time when His Church will stand, withstand, and overcome the enemy in many different ways. The Scriptures just quoted speak of this time and it is clear to me that we are entering this period of transition where His Church is being called to stand, withstand and overcome the enemy, to put them down and under His feet. When JESUS Returns He will not be coming to a defeated Church cringing in a hole, hiding from the enemy and hoping for Him to come and rescue us. JESUS will Return to a triumphant, victory-laden Church that has subdued all things and is ready to put them under His feet.

THE "DEFINING THE LINE PRAYER" written by Richard-DANIEL, and recently mailed to the Net of Prayer Intercessors, was a prayer written by the leading of the Holy Spirit and it is in effect defining a line between us and the enemy of our souls. What is being done by this prayer is that we are defining a line, one seen `In

Page 5

The Staff and Sword Ministry

December 7, 2009

The Spirit' and in THE GAP in 1987 where we (Nancy-TONI, Richard-DANIEL, myself and JESUS's warring Angels) held a line against a concerted attack of the whole of hell's power. Their aim was simple - break through our line and slaughter God's people, JESUS's children.

Standing in Christ, Beholding Christ, we not only stood against them, we withstood and then hurled them backwards - we broke them, they did not break us. There was nothing passive about our action, we moved over to the offensive and defeated all of hell's power at that time.

TODAY THAT ACTION IS NOW IN THIS WORLD' The Beastman, the anti Christ creature, leading that demon army was identified early this year, Barack Obama, who now occupies the White House.

That simple fact tells us that what we saw in THE GAP in 1987 is right in front of us today, here and now, and as Obama is slowly getting "into synch" the attacks on Christians are increasing a hundred fold across this nation.

By this "DEFINING THE LINE PRAYER" we are telling the enemy of our souls that they have no grounds or opportunity against us and if they try and impose any of their "control" over us, they will give us grounds and opportunity to utterly crush them even as we did in the GAP in 1987.

By this prayer we truly DEFINE the line between us (the Elect, the Sealed, the Faithful-Obedient and the Innocent children of God) and all the others who have submitted to the Beastman through his many agents inside the church system of man.

By this prayer we define the line between us and the enemy, a Iine clearly defined in the GAP in 1987. What was "In The Spirit' and in the GAP in 1987 is now `in this world.'

A DAY IN THE GAP = ONE YEAR `IN THIS WORLD' The time where Obama is out of synch is coming to an end, that year (November 2008 to November 2009) is fast fading and he is getting more and more control of the situation in America. But in THE GAP the next day two major events happened: (1) The Supremes - a massive demonic force aiming to destroy us - was wiped out

Page 6

The Staff and Sword Ministry

December 7. 2009

by JESUS. Next, in that second day (November 2009 to November, 2010) in the GAP, JESUS suddenly appeared over the GAP, His Brilliance flooded the whole GAP and virtually every demon passed out and fell over like cord wood. Obama stood there oblivious to JESUS' Presence and was stunned and bewildered by the fact that all of his demon power shut off like a power outage.

How will this manifest `In This World'? Past the obvious, that Obama is going to have a major power outage (like an electrical blackout), his power base will be "knocked out." In that we are looking at Congressional and Senatorial elections in November 2010 it is possible (my speculation) that Beastman Obama will lose control of both the House and Senate to either Independent candidates and/or Republicans.

Beastman Obama is going to be messed up in 2010, but how long this will last is not known - maybe until November, 2010 after which he will begin to regain power and control.

I could speculate but past the obvious, the events seen in the GAP in 1987 that parallel 2010 are pretty clear, the Beastman is knocked flat for a time.

I' M IN A TRANSITION AS WELL This began with a Word the Lord gave me when I was in Chicago this August, 2009.

JESUS' WORD to Chuck-JOHNEL on August 20, 2009 Chicago "YOU NEED TO TAKE THE STAFF, WALK, PRAY DAILY TO ACTUALIZE THE AUTHORITY, ANOINTING YOU HAVE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST FROM

FATHER GOD AND TO BE YIELDED TO HIS WILL AND ENTER INTO HIS SOVEREIGN WILL." actualize = to make real, reality.

JESUS told me to start this walk/pray/actualize starting on Monday, August 31, 2009. I did and have continued day by day from then to now.

What is the Lord doing? I don't exactly know and while I might speculate it has been learned over the years that forming any views about what the Lord GOD is doing until He reveals it is usually counter-productive: (1) You often end up eating your words (speculations) and (2) Forming views makes it difficult to hear the Lord when He does reveal His Purposes at work.

In the first few days of walking and praying with The Staff there was really nothing to see, know or hear. But after a few days I began to see sparks of fire and lightnings coming from the Staff, but it was very minor.

As days turned into weeks The Staff filled with fire and lightning and at times it was quite warm to the touch. A pleasant glow filled The Staff , a plume of a white-golden light that had tones of brilliant pink in the blend of light. This plume of fire and lightning emanated from The Staff in every direction by about 5 or 6 inches.

About two months into the daily walks JESUS' Angel said, "It is now 18%."

Then a few days later he would say, "It is now 20%."

Towards the end of November JESUS told me to set aside 5 minutes a day to abide in Him, abiding with The Staff. i

_

A few days ago during abiding time I saw power pulsating from the Staff sending out concentric waves of energy in every direction. JESUS Angel told me that it was reaching 100 miles diameter from the Staff but it had "NO FOCUS" meaning it was harmless. Two days later he told me it was at 150 miles diameter and again "IT HAD NO FOCUS." At this time (today) he told me, "IT IS NOW AT 40.5%"

A brother in the Lord, Ron, asked me, "Is The Staff being charged up? "I said, "No. "Years ago JESUS told me that The Staff in fact reflected me, the change being worked is being worked in me and The Staff is revealing a change that is not apparent or visible to me.

"I HAVE SENT YOU NOT FOR THE NATION BUT AGAINST IT." This is what JESUS told me in the very early years of the Ministry; but then He led me to wage strategic spiritual warfare against Lucifer and the demonic armies to

December 13, 2009 withstand judgment on America for the sake of His people while He also had me (and others) warn of coming judgment with a call to repent and pray. i

Over the years I've learned not to resist what JESUS asks of me (although I might question Him) but to do what He tells me to do, being yielded to His Will first and foremost. He does not have to explain a thing to me (though He often does) to get me to do His Will.

A SPECIAL NOTE FOR THOSE WHO SENT/ASKED FOR PRAYER CLOTHS

I'd been given some prayer cloths to wrap around The Staff and to pray over, and some asked for prayer cloths to be wrapped around The Staff and be sent back to them. f've not forgotten you - but am waiting until I discern it is time to do that.

Right now is not the time. Today (December 9`') the Angel told me "IT IS 43 % "and the waves of energy/power have reached 380 miles diameter. I decided to draw a chart representing The Staff on page 7 reflecting where it is as ofDecember 9" - the "light areas" rep resents the 43%, the dark areas are yet to come.

Net of Prayer Leaders pravijigabout taking action At this time I've asked the prayer leaders of the Net of Prayer to pray-discern whether or not we ought move `In The Spirit' and begin taking authority over infringements of the enemy into our territory. Although the vast majority of Christians do not recognize or want to admit that Beastman Obama and the antiChrist spirit is moving to close in on them for the kill. The evidence of this is all around us.

In their eagerness to set up the church for genocide they are overstepping boundaries we established `In The Spirit' and in the GAP back in 1987. We have both the grounds, opportunity and position to deal them a bloody nose and to drive them back and off and away from us. But, again, this is before the prayer leadership to pray and discern. The sketch below was drawn by Roger Augustin back in the 1980's and published many times - it's pretty much the story today. They are still asleep, LOOK TO JESUS! REPENTS WAKE UPI

This was sent to us by L.C. Mark-JAMES who actually works on designing and building these kind of warplanes. The point? The fact is that Christ has empowered His Church in such a way that a]I the power of the enemy is useless against us - we have the advantage and the edge over them - we ought make use of it.

The church today is so passive it is nothing short of shameful. Years ago, the very early years, some pastors said I was "too militant" - what are they?!

The conversation went like this...

Iranian Air Defense Radar 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'

Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'

Air Defense Radar 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft" Aircraft 'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'

Air Defense Radar. (no response .... total silence)

This rather dramatic sketch (below), drawn by L.G. Roger Augustin in 1983, was to depict a prophetic mission JESUS sent me on after that the Net of Prayer obtained mercy through concerted prayer-intercession against judgments raging in that year.

A vast storm system battering the west coast for months was shut-down when on JESUS' leading standing on the West Coast with The Staff, I confronted Lucifer and told him to "In JESUS' Name shut-up!" Almost immediately a vast storm system over 1,000 miles in diameter that had been hurling storm after storm at the U.S. unraveled and ended. JESUS also had me take His Staff and divert two major earthquakes from the West Coast (one aimed at Los Angeles, one at San Francisco) sparing thousands certain death. All told it was a prophetic mission that spanned 3,400 miles by auto.

In all those years The Staff was employed on HOLY SPIRIT leading and JESUS' direction to stop judgzm^ents, spare lives and property extending to His people, this nation and its people mercy upon mercy, delay in judgment upon delay in judgment.

In 2001 the final church decision to reject Christ and His Word came and this led directly to September 1 1 1 and the start of war upon war. In 2007 President Bush was offered the opportunity to call the nation to pray for mercy to mitigate the judgments; a ten month period of grace was extended after which America was to begin a decline that would lead to its utter destruction. Right on schedule the economic U

underpinnings of the nation began to unravel leading to the catastrophic mess we are in today. But then the nation voted into office the man of sin, the Beastman of antiChrist. America as a nation is becoming the enemy of God that has within its boundaries His children whom He is parting from all the rest in many ways.

R-D = Richard-DANIEL, C-J = Chuck-JOHNEL, N-T = Nancy-TONI and with us were 144,000 warring Angels of GOD.

That February, 1987 the enemy (Satan, Lucifer, Beastman and the hordes ofhell) did attempt to break through our lines, they did with an all-out effort force us back in places but then as we began looking to JESUS, Beholding Christ, in Christ we and our Angels stopped the enemy advance, then hurled them backwards and drove them before us. JESUS then said, "IT IS SUFFICIENT" and we stopped and held that line. The enemy did not attempt to force us back after that.

We are now praying and asking the N.O.P. Leadership to pray about doing what we did in the GAP in I987 - the enemy is attacking `in this world' through Beastman Obama and his minions in this world. They aim to break through our lines and in places they may gain some ground.

It would not take much effort to make the case that the attack is manifesting in bills like Cap and Trade - a bill in Congress that would drive the cost of fuel sky high and result in a heavy loss of jobs and then people being unable to afford heat in winter people freezing to death (something JESUS showed me would happen in America).

The Health Care Bill is a major threat to the sovereignty we have over our own bodies - the government would end up in

Page 12

The Staff and Sword Ministry

December 13, 2009

total control of our lives and that means the Beastman of antiChrist would have power of life and death over every U.S. citizen. Is this panic talk? The Bill in Congress is over 4,000 pages long and no one has read it, and the people who crafted it are Marxists who also hate Christians. If you want to hide stuff this is how you do it - bury it in 4,000+ pages of legalese that hardly anyone understands and leave it to those in power to tell us what it means. That is a suicide pill and a death to American freedom.

A little contrast is excellent. In the 1950s the Congress passed a Bill that funded the building of an expressway system across America - that bill was 28 pages long ! The Health Care Bill from the House runs 2,200 pages long, the Senate Bill is 2,000 pages long - and they are supposed to merge the two and pass it into law before Christmas and no one has really read it.

Recently some bureaucrats in a government committee decided that Mammograms were unnecessary for women until they were in their 60's. Early detection of breast

cancer would be tossed out to save a few bucks - the death toll for women dying of breast cancer would zoom out of sight. NONE of those on this committee were Doctors or had any Medical training/experience. The outcry against this decision forced them to reverse themselves.

But what would it be like when they have TOTAL CONTROL over our lives under the Health Care Plan.

I was sent a report on a website of things Christians are unaware of - one listed a book that has been published named: "DIRTY, FILTHY CHRISTIANS " which states that it is a (Quote): "Treatise On The Most Dangerous Death Cult in Human History. An unprecedented work detailing the agenda behind the greatest deception ever foisted upon humanity. " (Unquote) The terms being applied to Christians are identical to the propaganda the Nazi's published about Jews in Nazi Germany which led to the holocaust where 6 million Jews were murdered in death Nazi camps.

I've seen and reported for years the agenda of the Hollywood clique to paint Christians as dangerous, murderous vermin that need be eliminated for humanity's sake. Past telling me to, "stop watching movies" no one in the church paid any attention - what will they do when this kind of view is being published in the Media

nationwide, when they are being targeted for slaughter?

WE DREW THE LINE IN `THE GAP' IN 1987 AND SO OTHERS ARE DOING THAT TOO! http ://manhattandeclaration.org/ This November, 2009 some 250 Church Leaders (Catholics, Orthodox, Evangelical Christians) gathered in Manhattan, New York and issued a declaration to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are: (Quote)

THE MANHATTAN DECLARATION 1. The sanctity of human life.

2. The dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife.

3. The rights of conscience and religious liberty.

Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life." (Unquote) You can visit their website (noted above) for a full report.

Richard-DANIEL Provided Richard-DANIEL Provided me with a report issued by Michael Boldea dated December 2, 2009 entitled "A Principled Defense." Here are some quotes from that two page report (it is offered free on our enclosed Response Form). (Quote) " One need only look at the history

of the church within the last generation or so, to see

Quoting Michael Boldea Jr's. December 2, 2009 Report (continued) that our resolve has been weakened and is almost nonexistent when it comes to defending the truth, orstandingupfor what we know to be just and right. For most people, silence and retreat is more acceptable that the defense of truth, because chances are very slim that one will get wounded while retreating. We weigh the matter judiciously, conclude that it's too small a thing to get worked up about, and back away slowly as to not stir the attention of the enemy. We don't like to make waves and the enemy knows this.... We have taken it upon ourselves to become negotiators, when we have been called to be messengers, to be spectators when we have been called to be soldiers. We have become passionately passionless, and purposefully purposeless for fear of offending the unregenerate and unrepentant. With every retreat the enemy gains more ground, with every omission, with every act of cowardice on our part the enemy gets that much bolder, and continues his steady march.

For some reason we've come to believe that the enemy will simply stop short of our citadels, that he will stop short of besieging the towers if we just give up enough ground. Surely the enemy will be content with a partial victory, surely his desire is not to overrun the entire house of God. If this is what you believe, if you believe that the enemy will stop short, then you don 't really know the enemy we face. His desire is the utter destruction of God's house, and he will not stop short of his goal. That is why we must stand, that is why we must boldly proclaim the truth and defend even those things we consider as insignificant or of little importance.

There are only three options. We either flee from before the enemy, surrender to the enemy, or make our stand against the enemy. ...I've said it before and I will say it again, I do not trust men who call themselves warriors yet have no scars...Make no mistake, we are at war, and this spiritual war

is one in which there can be no spectators. There are only three options. We either flee from before the enemy, surrender to the enemy, or make our stand against the enemy. (Unquote) I've shared the Manhattan Declaration and the Michael Boldea report to underline the simple fact that some in the Body of Christ are keenly aware of the rising tide of evil marching in our direction.

STAFF REPORT: Today, Sunday, December 13, 2009 The Staff is at 54% and the pulses of power from the Staff have reached a diameter of 530 miles.

THE STAFF OF GOD Mount of the Most High God Januar y 21, 2004 On January 21, 2004 JESUS took up to the Mount of the Most High God NancyTONI and I and The Staff. The Staff remained with Nancy-TGNI as I was called out to take the coals of fire (Ezekiel 10: 2) and cast them out over creation. The fire, the Wrath of God hangs over this world even now and waits.

August 4, 1977 to August 20, 1977 "On August 4, 1977, after prayer, I was listening to the Lord. JESUS came up to me, full of light and love.

He said, "Come."

I went with Him, my heart jumping for joy. There were many questions I wanted to ask, but I waited for Jesus to speak. He held me and tears of joy came quickly to my eyes.

Jesus reassured me, saying: "I am always with you."

We sat down and Jesus said: "Ask what you will."

With that, a bright, brilliant cloud came overhead and flashed lightnings and thunders. I was nearly overcome as I heard God the Father's voice!

He said, "This is My Beloved Son—Hear Him!" The following is what the Lord would have us share of this time we had with Jesus: After asking the Lord about timing and the Judgment, Jesus said: "It is not for you to know now. Yet, know that your timing is off, even before the year is added. You are exactly correct in every detail and every detail will surely come to pass as you have been shown and have warned."

Then after many questions and answers, Jesus spoke: Prepare My People for war, famine, pestilence, occupation; Prepare My Children for war, famine, pestilence, occupation; Prepare My Sheep for war, famine, pestilence, occupation.

Then, I asked about the Word He had given Agatha for us and especially about the sentence, "Conte now and let us count the clays of My wrath and see whether we can shorten the tune..."

THE STAFF OF C 0 D August 4, 1977 to August 20, 1977 (continued) Jesus continued, "Pray and fast seven days and also those of the school for prophets and on the seventh day you and Cliff come together in prayer and seek My face in the Spirit."

We both determined to begin the seven-day fast on August 13, 1977. We met on the seventh day, August 20, at Cliff's home at about 6 P.M. I counted the days remaining before the three years would end—September 9, 1979—arriving at a figure of 751 days as of August 20, 1977. After work on August 20, 1977 we met, although we were both quite tired. We did not know what, if anything, would happen. Then Jesus spoke to its and told us to read Isaiah 42: 1-13, which we did.

Jesus spoke: "I have sent you to prepare and warn My children.

I have sent you out against the nation and not for it."

Jesus gave us Matthew 17: 1-13 to read, which we did.

We were then both taken in the Spirit to the Heavens. Although we saw and heard each other, we did not realize until later that we both saw the same things in

such detail, including one another, until after Jesus was finished talking to us. The following is what occurred: We asked Jesus about the time left before judgment, and the Lord said that He would speak to us another time about that. We had the definite impression that what the Lord would reveal to us at another time would be stunning!

We persisted in talking with the Lord, and Jesus said: "Come, let Me show you some of the things that will come to pass."

We both stood in a place where we saw lightnings, heard a high, raging wind,

and saw dust blowing everywhere. The storm ended, and we saw half-buried dead trees in severe dust-bowl conditions, somewhere in the United States.

Jesus said, "Come."

We saw Russian tanks moving through a desolate United States city. A very few American onlookers stood and cried. People were herded into military trucks, taken away by occupation troops. We saw aircraft crashing, as well as scenes of great destruction.

The Lord showed us ourselves walking in a heavy winter snow storm, perhaps a blizzard. It was bitter cold and the wind was driving in our faces. We were walking with the staff, going to see President Carter, somewhere in Kansas. We knew it was

Page 17

December 15, 2009

T H E S T A F F 0 F G 0 D August 20, 1977 (continued) in central Kansas, during the time of the war.

We were extremely cold, our strength failing, and I felt that we would not make it. Then a v-formation of angels appeared just before us. They trampled the snow before us, broke the force of the wind—and it seemed like a pleasant warm day!

The Lord's angels brought us to see the President. At this point, we saw ourselves meeting President Carter somewhere in an underground chamber of government offices. He was tired, older and haggard. He looked dejected, depressed and sad.

He asked us, "Is there any hope?

The Lord led us by the Holy Spirit to say, "Yes, there is hope that God might lessen His wrath. "

Then the vision ended abruptly The Lord said that He would talk to us again. I reminded Him that He had told us to count the days of His wrath and again asked if He (Jesus) would shorten or lessen the time of His wrath.

Jesus said clearly, "No, I will not lessen it!"

This was a puzzle for us: the understanding of it escaped us. On the surface this may appear contradictory, however, that is only because it is but a partial revelation.

Then Jesus said: "It will all take place within the thirty months!"

I asked Jesus if that was the thirty months as we understand and Jesus replied, lovingly, "That is not for you to know now. I want you both to take a walk every Sunday for six hours."

I saw us passing out homemade tracts and talking to people.

I again asked Jesus about counting the days of His wrath and Jesus said, "I will speak to you at another time. You have prayed and fasted and I have honored We thought that this was all, but then Jesus reached out to us, extended His hand, and said, "Come."

We reached out in turn. He took our hand; we were instantly taken into the Heavens by the Spirit of God. We sat in the Heavens around what appeared to be a large round table. Directly across the table was God the Father, clothed in a cloud; brilliant light poured out from Him through the cloud. To my immediate right at the table there was the Holy Spirit present in the form of a person, a being. I could not describe his appearance. I could see the Lord Jesus Christ off to my left. Cliff was positioned at the table between Jesus and me. Standing all around us was a multitude of angels, watching.

The Staff was also there, appearing in the Heavens as a rod of brilliant light.

T H E S T A F F 0 F G 0 D August 20 1977 (continued) Then Jesus begun to speak to Cliff. Cliff responded. I could hear what Cliff said, but I could not determine what Jesus said in reply. The experience was the same for Cliff in listening to me talk to God the Father.

Then, the whole conference in the Heavens seemed both overpowering and yet not clear, a bit dim. Later, we realized the lack of clarity was a reflection of our lack of full understanding; something God allowed for His reasons.

I heard Cliff say to Jesus, "Well, Lord Jesus, there are 751 days left of the three years. " Jesus cut Cliff off. I don't know what the Lord said to him.

I spoke to our Father, "There are 751 days left. " However, the Father said, "In 572 days..."

I repeated the 751 days a number of times and then realized that when God the Father had repeated `572' a number of times that He was speaking of something else—and I listened.

God the Father said, "Iin 572 days, from this day, your enemies will come.

Take the staff and write in the earth, `5-7-2'.

I did. As I took up the staff, I suddenly was aware that the round table was now the whole earth. I used the tip of the staff to write `5-7-2' in the ground.

The Father then said, "Put around the 572 three circles" (concentric circles).

"The first is Russia, the second is China, and the third Japan. In 572 days

your enemies will come."

I asked the Father God if He will shorten or lessen the days of His wrath.

He did not respond to my question, but said, "In 220 days there will begin economic chaos. I will execute judgment." He added, "Take the staff and smite the earth as often as you will."

I took the staff and smote the earth once—and blood carne up under the staff, covering the earth.

I smote the earth a second time and saw green turn to brown —knowing it had to do with foliage dying.

I smote the earth a third time and saw yellow turn to purple, knowing this had to do with disease.

I smote it a fourth time and saw countless lightnings strike the earth from every direction.

I smote the earth a fifth time and saw insects spring up from under the staff, covering the globe.

God the Father subsequently said, "Each time you strike the globe, you are My instruments of wrath..."

More, I could not remember. All became vague and distant. I saw Cliff and I,

T H E S T A F F 0 F G 0 D August 20,1977 (continued) together with the staff and saw lightning pouring out from the staff—striking the ground repeatedly, while a whirlwind blew from in front of us and the earth trembled. At this point, my recall faded altogether. Although more did occur, we knew that God had sealed up our memories and our understanding according to His will.

CLIFF'S EXPERIENCE The following are additional points from Cliff's experience.

Chuck and I were praying. We both were in the same room but we were in a period of silence and separate, yet we experienced similar visions. The Lord took us to the same place. We did not realize that we both were aware, in the Spirit, of each other's presence, to the extent that we were. We had identical visions, yet we experienced them without knowledge on a physical level that they were identical.

We were taken into the Heavens, to a place I did not know. There were angels all around. The Lord was on my left hand side. To my right I saw Chuck and in front of me, a bright light. I knew that it was God, but I could not look upon this light because it was intensely bright. I heard God speak to Chuck. All I heard, however, was a sound—a sound like many thunders—like the roar of a great waterfall.

I knew that Chuck understood what the Lord was saying, but I did not understand what the Lord was saying to Chuck. As I asked questions, the Lord gave the answers to Chuck.

During that time, I looked over to my right and saw two candlesticks. I asked, "Lord, who are these two candlesticks? " The Lord replied that they were Chuck and me.

Then I turned, looked in front of me, and saw red—a red that almost filled my whole eyesight. When the red disappeared, I saw the earth. My gaze focused on the North American continent. As I looked at the United States, I saw two white clouds—one having come from the east, and one from the west. The clouds moved in from the United States' coasts, and covered and sealed off the entire nation. The Christians underneath the cloud suffered persecution. Dead bodies lay everywhere and terror-struck people fled. This terrible persecution was a time of refinement—a ti me of purification. God was using this to purify and mold His Church according to His will.

After a time, the solid cloud cover suddenly parted, moving back, and the land was free again.

The next thing I knew, I was sitting in my chair in my livingroom.

The vision had ended.

We were taken by surprise by the revelation of August 20, 1977. We had both hoped and expected God's wrath to be lessened. We understood most of the parts of

THE S TA F F 0 F G 0 D August 2O 1977 (continued) the August 20, 1977 revelation; however, some remained real puzzles. The whole revelation was not clearly understood by us.

Since God the Father was specific about the starting date being August 20, we assumed 1977, when He said, "In 572 days from this day", "and your enemies will come."

We quickly arrived at the conclusion that Russia would invade us on March 15, 1979. That was ridiculous, meaning that the attack would happen in January 1979 and the earthquake around the end of November 1978. We concluded that is was not sensible, since the vision of the earthquake in 1973 clearly indicated that it was a sunny, hot day in Chicago on the day the quake would strike.

The 220 days were simple. We counted 220 days from August 20, 1977, arriving at March 28, 1978. We spent much time attempting to figure it all out; however, we were left with only our own speculations—which served to cloud our understanding even more than it was already!

A few days later, the Lord led me to read the Book of I Samuel.

My spirit quickened when I read: "And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did Iet none of his words fall to the ground." (I Samuel 3:19 KJV). (Unquote)

Quotes drawn from the book, '" The Staff and The Sword ", Pages 286-292. This book, published in 1979, is now out of print_ THE CLIFF SITUATION The experience in the Heavens was a bit strange - Cliff was pretty much left out, he heard the Father GOD speak as "thunders", he saw much of what I saw- JESUS, the bright light that he could not look at (Father GOD), the Angels and visions of God's Wrath. The "red" that he saw was the first blow of The Staff that produced "blood."

He was given some revelation but in the most part he was left out; why. I did not know at the time nor did I speculate.

In late 1978 I began hearing stories of things CIiff was doing that I did not believe, where he was acting behind my back and speaking against me. I thought it was the enemy trying to drive a wedge between us and never mentioned any of this to him.
