JESUS asked nee today(May 17th) to begin this newsletter, making the TINY STAR the headline I had hardly gotten the first page in the typewriter when the phone rang - Bill was calling to relay a news item just heard on radio --a Russian MISSILE Producing Plant has just BLOWN UP, it was on the news. Millions of people can take to the streets in protest of nuclear weapons with 'zippo effect' --hut where just a few Christians turn in prayer looking to Jesus praying in His Perfect Will --watch the news reports start coming in . More will be said in this newsletter on this subject as we now begin moving to conclude the "EAGLE SWEEP II PRAYER CAMPAIGN" to destroy the vehicles of war and nuclear weapons. All Glory to God thru JESUS CHRJST ! Even as we move in intercessions to conclude let us give Thanks to God ! CJ & NT

A sign in the Heavens? A moon-sized object is nearin our solar system and could I it by 1990. The object is corning toward us at 20,000 miles per hour- it's big and it's coming right at us." — Dr. Decker Frie From the January, 1988 edition of "God's News Behind the News, we quote a portion of an extremely interesting short article: "The WEEF(LY WORLD NEWS (Aug. 18, 1987), reported i told a that Dr. Becker Inc gathering of scientists in Duderstadt, West Germany, that a moon-sized object is nearing our solar system and could enter it by the year 1990. He related how the object is coming toward us at better
than 20,000 m.p.h. We don't know for sure what the object is. All I can tell you, is that there is something out there it's big, and it's coming right at us.' ''Astronomer Richard Lichter of Argentina tailed these reports accurate, but declared, 'Just because it's heading for our solar system doesn't mean it's going to destroy earth. Christ told His disciples of that great day just before His second coming to the earth in glory. In Luke 21:25, He says, And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with
perpiexuy • the sea and the ing readied right now for that waves roaring, ti me just ahead? It seems quite Here, Jesus spoke of the day possible that the astronomers may of the Lord, during which the have spotted one of them world will be judged.

THE TINY STAR ( a new improved version) --continued... Intercessors and Christians on the mailing list who have taken the time to date and clip new, articles out of local papers and then sent them to us via Al Egner or directly --we have been able to confirm Jesus Word and steadily assemble a picture of developing judgments that in turn we might alert all, and extend calls for prayer whereby troubles might be headed-off or greatly lessened BEFORE they became real trouble. Tho Nancy-TONI & I daily buy a U.S.A. TODAY Newspaper and a Seattle Paper, even so - not all news information gets into every paper. Its your sharing with us that very often helps complete the picture - whereby we are able to share the situation with all. Our thanks always to Pat and many like her who are so faithful in this. Why do I call this 'moon like object coming at Earth' a "NEW IMPROVED VERSION?" The vision God gave me in mid 1982 of a fiery ball coming at Earth, one that as it neared Earth would at first be visible in the night sky as a star brighter than the North Star --then later would be visible in the daysky as a small second Sun alongside of our Sun. This Jesus showed me in 1982 would zero in on this Earth, coming right at it --in the 1982 vision I saw what "MIGHT BE", --this TINY STAR would enter the Earths atmosphere from the Southern hemisphere --it was so hot, even when a great distance from Earths atmosphere, clouds for hundreds of miles instantly vaporized-disappeared, and lakes, rivers, streams boiled --I saw this fire ball roaring towards ground coming over the Gulf of Mexico, it passed almost directly over the city of CORPUS CHRISTI Texas, as it did --I watched the city be drawn upwards and incinerated as it exploded in flames --the fire ball seemed to almost fly horizontally leaving a strip hundreds of miles wide of destruction as it cut across America , literally the Earth burned for more than 1,000 miles and over 300 miles wide . I saw this vision at ground level, not far from Corpus Christi and as near as I could determine it impacted somewhere in either Montana or Canada. When it did the whole Earth shook terribly, rocked and massive clouds of dust rose in the sky cutting off the sun, the Earth was covered in darkness - great waves battered and overran coastal areas, the earth quaked violently worldwide. This Jesus show(-' me in 1982 as what "CAN RE". Then Jesus showed me a second version --it started the same, 'but this time Gods people prayed. Tho nations sought to deflect it, using all their power-missiles tipped with massive nuclear devices were fired into space by Russia and U.S.A. -it was hopeless, nothing stopped the tiny star, as I came to call it. Now as it approached the Earth in the second vision, JESUS showed me and other prophets standin the Gulf of Mexico with The Staff of God --as we prayed, fire exploded from the Staff, it was visible to carnal eyes, and a huge ball of fire equal to the fire ball descending zipped skyward and struck the TINY STAR --it was deflected, turning upwards and spiralling into space away from the Earth! I saw this vision, and thought to myself "NO WAY I'm going to be there in that day except its Gods Perfect Will." I saw and understood that as we PRAY and INTERCEDE between the sinner and the consequences of their sin --in a lot of ways what we do in prayer is like what the vision showed ME AND TWO OTHERS DOING --standing between the Earth and man (the sinners) AND the FIRE BALL or TINY STAR(the consequences of sin). So in 1982 the NET OF PRAYER was called to pray about the TINY STAR, what was evident was that much prayer was needed, we had to go by Faith now, and we did. In 1983 --January as I recall, I was taken into THE SPIRIT by JESUS and shown this TINY STAR, it was moving thru space at great speed, and by the Spirit of God understood its composition. It was made up primarily of ENERGY & LIGHT fused together by very intense pressure or gravity into a ball, there was some matter in it, but only a trace and that was vaporized. As it flew thru space it slowed, as it slowed the energy and light fusion expanded, it began to give off light and heat. I knew this TINY STAR was beyond our technology to even grasp. I also KNEW it was ON THE WAY in 1982-83. How? JESUS WORD. the first report writ ten on the TIN Y STAR was September 8, 1982.

THE TINY STAR ( A New Improved Version).. .continued _ .'US September 1 1982 "WOE UNTO THOSE WHO HAVE STUMBLED ON UNBELIEF - OE, W EVEN GREATER WOE FOLLOWS - WHO CAN WITHSTAND MY WORD! I AM WITH YOU AND WONDERS ARE NEAR. YEA SKYWARD, LOOK THEN SEE, THEN FEAR AND AWE AND TERROR BUT NOT A HAIR OF MY SEALED LAMBS WILL BE SINGED MEN WILL BE ASTONISHED, EVEN MUCH OF THE SEALED, FOR THO SOME BE UNFAITHFUL AFTER, I AM FAITHFUL TO MY WORD." JESUS Sep tember 4, 1982 "INDEED MY SON, IT WILL BE SEEN SKYWARD - A BRIGHT STAR THEN VISIBLE BY DAY (-ROWINO IN RAPIDLY. THIS IS DEATH MOVING IN - OPPORTUNITY GIVEN, DEATH TAKING OPPORTUNITY. IT COMES TO AMERICA, YEA BURNING BRIGHT IN A NIGHT SKY AND A GREAT WIND BEFORE AND AFTER IT - THE HEAVEN WILL ROAR ABOVE - IT COMES FOR A CITY BUT ITS TAIL IS DESTRUCTION OF EVEN KIND - A FIERY PATH OF DEATH. IN 1981 IT WAS NOT, THEN IT WAS - NOW IN DUE SEASON IT WILL BE SEEN AND HOPELESS IS MAN. AS MY PEOPLE PRAY I WILL MOVE YOU - FOR DEATH IS POWERFUL BUT MY ANOINTING IN YOU THE GREATER. YEA, THE BOLT OF BURNING LIGHTNING FROM THE STAFF - THE FIRE OF REBELLION CAN BE CONSUMED BY THE FIRES OF LOVE IN PRAYER. IF MY PEOPLE PRAY, I WILL MOVE YOU TO STAND BETWEEN AND IT WILL DEFLECT - IF NOT, IT COMES." on October 22, 1982 as I travelled America extending the first Sealing of the Living God, I was in Texas and this day the vision of the TINY STAR(as I call it) came - then Jesus said this: "...THESE THINGS HAVE I SHOWN YOU BY MY SPIRIT... IT MAY BE CHANGED BUT IT MAY BE KEPTAS WELL...THE FATHER IS CHANGED MUCH EXTENDING MERCY AND GRACE TO MANY BUT THIS THING IS ON THE WAY. .THE ASTRONOMERS HAVE SEEN IT, THEY MISIDENTIFY • THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS - THEY ARE IN WONDERMENT EVEN NOW, THEY DO NOT SPEAK OF WHAT THEY WONDER. IT WILL BE APPARENT IN A NIGHT SKY IN THE TIME THAT I'VE TOLD YOU IN YEARS PAST...BUT AS I HAVE SAID, NOT A HAIR OF MY SEALED LAMBS WILL BE SINGED FOR I WILL KEEP MINE AND KEEP THEM WHOLLY SAFE AND THE SEALING WILL SPREAD FROM CITY TO CITY WITH GREAT FORCE AND GREAT JOY FOR MEN WILL KNOW AND MEN WILL -K IT." By the near end of 1983 , the HOLY SPIRIT revealed that prayer had obtained Gods Help against the TINY STAR, it would be stopped, our prayers now moved to thanksgiving for what God had done. By the end of 1983, news reports indicated that astronomers had found something just outside our Solar System --a huge ball of dust, as big as a moon --it was NOT there before, suddenly i t was!?! They did not know what it was - we did! God answered our prayers, He stopped it -the Light & Energy now radiated out --leaving only the cooling vapors of residual matter --that was the huge ball of dust the astronomers photographed outside our Solar System end 1983. Was that the end of it? I didn't think so, tho joyful the TINY STAR was stopped, I noted that JESUS WORD spoke of events associated to the TINY STAR that had not yet come to pass. In 1986 support for the ministry stopped sharply as we completed half the prophetic mission to Corpus Christi in July 1986 -- the work undone for want of support, Jesus led us in 1986 to prophesy in a GREAT DROUGHT and THE TINY STAR . JESUS WORD of Jul 24 1986 THIS SUNDAY(July 27, 1986) STAND OUTSIDE OF TRINITY CHURCH, AND PRAY THEN PROPHESY IN MY NAME TO SEAL THE SKIES OVER AMERICA. YEA, EVEN PROPHESY SIGNS IN THE SKIES AND HEAVENS, THE TINY STAR, AS YOU CALL IT COMES. PROPHESY DROUGHT AND INTENSE HEAT FOLLOWED BY INTENSE COLD - FIERCESOME WINDS AND TORRENTIAL RAINFALLS IN YET, WHERESOEVER YOU ABIDE, I WILL RESTORE THE PLACES TIL THE LAND IS DRY AND AS ASH. LAND FOR YOUR SAKE. IN YOUR HANDS ALONE I GIVE AUTHORITY TO SO SEAL, OR TO OPEN AGAIN. YOU MAY CLOSE THE HEAVENS OR OPEN THEM BUT NONE CAN OPEN WHAT YOU CLOSE OR CLOSE WHAT YOU OPEN. 'RIKE THE EARTH EIGHT(8) TIMES, FOR EIGHT YEARS. MEN HAVE SOWN, NOW THEY REAP... IN A TIME .r_iJ WILL CALL IT, "THE GREAT DROUGHT".

Situation: Many drinking and irrigation water reservoirs are low and will get even lower this summer. Forests and rangeland are parched. Cause: Mountain snowpack — primary source of Western water — low for two winters in a row. Abnormally strong ridge of high pressure over West Coa-s' blocked storms, Outlook: Relief unexpected this summer, which is normally dry. Some areas would need one or two winters of above-normal snowfall to fill reservoirs and partly replenish ground water. Most affected: California, Nevada and the Northwest. Farmers face irrigation water shortages, boaters and fish will be left high and dry, hydroelectricity producers will use more fossil fuels, wildfre danger will be very highReaction: George Scovel's ranch in Santa Clara County, Calif., is usually covered in May with waving green grass that's more than a foot tall. This year, the grass is only 5 or 6 withered inches — the
shortest he's ever seen. Scovelsay's he's being forced to sell 700 calves now, instead of letting them graze a year. Even worse, he anticipates selling some of his breeding herd. ' The;' are eating the grass, but it's awfully short" he says. "It's a long time until our rainy sea• son starts again in November," Jim Weishaupt, manager of the Walker River Irrigation District in Yerington, Nev., says 50 perceni of the hay$rowing land will be out of production by midsummer. It will take four to seven years to get that land back into production. "The economic impact is going to be devastating." Weishaupl says. California's Camanche Reservoir "will be more or less a riverbed b y the end of August," says Vince Huss of Camanche North Shore Resort He expects 31) percent or less of his normal Memorial Weekend crowd of about 12,000 people.

Plains: Crops, livestock suffer Situation: Drought extends from northwest Wisconsin through Minnesota, much of the Dakotas and Montana. Cause: A dry fall was followed b ,v a mild, warm winter with no snow cover — allowing surface soil to dry out. Spring rains have also been sparse.
Most affected: Dry hot winds coupled with frost wiped out 130,000 acres of sugar beets in North Dakota's Red River Va!ley. Dry pasture and depleted winter hay stocks forced cattlemen in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota to truck animals as far away as Nebraska for pasture. Wildfires have plagued Minnesota, Outlook: It would take two to eight inches of rain in a series of storms to bring conditions near normal. "The only thing that will putt us out of this drought is a flood," says Ron Affeldt, North Dakota's director of emergency management-
Reaction: "It's almost like You sav, in the typical 1930 scenes where clouds of dust are moving across the fields," says Fred Kollman. district coruservation1st in Norman Count y , Minn. In South Dakota, roads near Aberdeen have been closed at timos when winds up to 45 miles an hour blew dirt. "This dust gets blowing something terrible," sa y s Alan May. extension agent in Brown County, S.D. The dust is afflicting some dairy cows and newborn calves in the Dakotas with "dry pneumonia." 'There is nothing for them to eat" said Dr. Daryl Thorpe, South Dakota state veterinarian. its critical-" Montana Gov, Ted Schwlnden will declare a disaster area In the eastern part of state if rain does not come by June, "If we don't get rain soon, the crops will deteriorate." said wheat farmer Rick Sampsen of Dagmar. Mont.
Situation: Four years of abnorrnall y low rainfall have left reservoirs several feet below norma!, but timely rains have given most farmers enough moisture, Cause: Storms from the Gulf of Mexico bypassed the Southeast Outlook: Seven to 10 inches of rain from a stalled storm s ystem or a hurricane would be needed to normaliie conditions Most affected: Georg, Atihama, South Carolina and portions of Tennessee- Low reservoir levels are creating controversy: Recreational boaters and waterfront property owners complain that too much water is being siphoned o17 for power producers and river navigation. Reaction: In the Mississippi Delta, sovbeun and cotton farmers are already starling to irrigate. This year "started off dry and stayed dry," said National Weather Service meteorologist Joe }lams of Stoneville, Miss"Everybody's wondering what happened to the nice wet climate down here," says Robert Holland. Army Corps of Engineers spokesman in Atlanta. In Georgia, communities drawing water from Lake Lanier have been asked to voluntarily reduce consumption. On the Chattahoochee River between Georgia and Gulf of Mexico, low water levels could halt boat navigation by August. The Tennessee Valley Author—it',' say's the decade's rainfall levels are the iowe5t since record-keeping began in 1890. Sideeffect Cutbacks in hydroelectric power output TVA cost this year 5100 million.
This Ma y 18. 1988 news article on th' THREE YEAR(since 1yuo DROUGHT in U.S.A. gives an excellent over-all picture of the extent of drought at this present time. What I would point out is that the July 27, 1986 prophesy essentially acknowledged what Church Decision then had LOOSED in the way of Judgments -defined as DROUGHT and THE TINY STAR. Some may wonder why we prophesied in these judgments -(1) JESUS Led us to do so. and (2) We understood that the effect of rebellion against Gods Word in fact already LOOSED JUDGMENTS -thus JESUS led us to define those judgment! whereby we would have authority over them. In the event prayer increases or there is repentance -- we may then be led to MODIFY that judgment. To so prophesy it in, would PERMIT men what they preferred but at the same time to prophesy also LIMITED Satan in the judgment he could execute, introducing the opportunity of MERCY. Tho Washington State has drought, here MT VERNON where I live, there is NO Drought, JESUS did restore the land here as He said He would.

THE TINY STAR ( A New Improved Version)... continued.... JLY 27, 1986 SUNDAY - DAY TO PROPHESY AT TRINITY CHURCH, DES PLAINES, ILL(North of Chicago) By July 27, 1986 we had again covered the United S tates passing out calls to prayer, and prophesying with The Staff in Jesus Name to stop a Hurricane, to break up major earthquakes
aimed at California. All this was visible, the effect of mercy was seen. But support for the work stopped mid stream, we were unable to continue on arriving at Corpus Christi, Texas, and unable to finish the work to the West Coast. There was NO response to prayer calls. Over the years even when we were led to prophesy in judgments, I've always noticed how God looks for those who would pray, respond--even to the last moment. That He sent us to Trinity Church that July 27, 1986 was telling to me. It was here Jesus had me begin the work of prayer - it was here I labored in prayer and testimonies for 3 years on Holy Spirit leading and formed the first Net Of Prayer. Gods Call on this church was simple, He wanted the Church opened 24 hours a day, He called them to pray continually for America, and His people. Jesus instructed us to arrive at Trinity at 2:30PM precisely - it was well past the last Sunday services they hold here. The place was quiet, empty. Not a car in the parking lot. JESUS instructed inc to go to the church doors and knock three times. I did --no answer, the church was empty, quiet. Then I was led to open the doors and go in to pray --the door was
'locked'. JESUS said to me, in essence "SO IT IS, NOW PROPHESY ALL I TOLD YOU TO DO." Even before this, Jesus had us stand and wait for ten minutes, He had me do this before and I knew what it meant. JESUS had called some to come here that day, at this time --if they showed, we would share His Word, they could pray to turn judgment away --if they did, He would. We waited alone, no one showed. If this congregation had kept Gods Word, they would be praying he church would be open --judgment would have been turned aside. In moments like this, one is so keenly aware that God is looking for anyway to extend
but lastly mans disobedience, rebellion, prayerlessness make judgment inevitable. All l eft now is to Permit what men willfully decided for, and by prophesy to LIMIT Satans and introduce the opportunity of MERCY in the judgment that will now come.
Mercy -thats opportunit.
A NEW IMPROVED VERSION ???
The TINY STAR of 1982 God stopped in answer to NET OF PRAYER Intercessions in 1982-83. What we have in view is another TINY STAR, the one set in motion in 1986. Because we did prophesy it, we therefore have authority whereby we can turn it away --if men pray, if not it will come. NET OF PRAYER by intercessions and spiritual one now on the scene is what I'd call a 'new to discern. By this I discern this new TINY the Beast-men, there may be more than one of
warfare stopped the Beast-man of 1982; but the improved version', deadlier, stronger, harder STAR is also deadlier than the former, and like them.
After receiving the article on the TINY STAR of 1988, which was May 12th , Nancy-TOM & I prayed asking Jesus about this object coming at Earth. JESUS told me "THIS IS WHAT I REVEALED WAS COMING IN 1986" JESUS told Nanc y -TONI "THIS MOON HEADED TOWARDS EARTH WILL CHANGE IN COMPOSITION AND BECOME THE "TINY STAR" SPOKEN OF PREVIOUSLY. IT WILL NOT ONLY CHANGE IN COMPOSITION BUT INCREASE IN SPEED EVENTUALLY AS IT TRAVELS CLOSER TO EARTH. THIS WILL PUT FEAR IN THE HEARTS OF MEN AS IT GROWS IN STRENGTH AND SPEED." the rate of 20,000 miles per hour, it will cover over 6 Million miles a week, 320 Million iles a year. I suspect, its a body of frozen gases and matter, not unlike a comet -- if it is, as it nears our Solar System "Solar Winds" will heat it, ignite it. We know this, our prayers now - enduring prayers, can obtain much -- we need re-new prayer intercession here. God Bless. Chuck-lfHfiF1 X Nanry-TENT

QUOTE "...We just received the last newsletter from Chuck-JOHNEL and we will join in the prayer requests as given in this letter and leave the results to the Lord. Additionally, we will try to minister to you folks on a monthly basis as the Lord provides. Chuck has been at our home on two occasions and he is aware that we are 'Senior Citizens' and on Social Security - but the Lord has been providing some work for me so as long as possible, we will endeavor to minister on a regular basis. We know that we are living in very perilous days as we are receiving confirmation from many sources and tho most do not go into the detail and specifics that the Staff & Sword Ministry does, yet each one is another confirmation that the times ahead are going to be extremely difficult(to say the least) We continue to pray that wisdom and understanding will be given to each of those involved in this ministry and that the financial needs will be met so that the work can continue properly. Love to you all in Jes us Nam e. Be tty and Norman ." UNQl17TE Fram: Lansing, May Nay 11, 1988 MICH. QUOTE "I have just sent in my first response on the missi prayer program. Your LOVE emphasis is very important but most people do not respond. The Bible teaches "WHEN THY JUDGMENTS ARE ON THE EARTH THE INHABITANTS THEREOF WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS." Let the sinners trigger the judgments while we pray and project GODS LOVE. I am living one of the most inspired times of my life at this time as I spend time in Love and Worship. I just happened to tune in on a Jerry Falwell sermon a few days ago. He preached a very
-
comprehensive sermon on the various operations of the Devil in early days , then a strange thing happened. He made a PLEA for more than a million people to sign petitions for the president to pardon Oliver North and make him a national hero. Then he pled for the audience to send contributions to 011ie North. I ran a check in prayer with the Holy Spirit on who was right -- You or Jerry Falwell on that matter--AND you got the positive witness!!! So many confusing issues in our world today. The refining fires must come to prepare the way for our Lords Coming, but we need to seek His sheep. ..JESUS WORD to Lansing May 1, 1988 "'..THE INSTRUMENTS ARE ALREADY IN THE HANDS OF EVIL MEN TO ADMINISTER THE DESTRUCTION OF CITIES ACROSS THE LAND. THE GATHERING IN WASHINGTON (Washington For JESUS) WAS BUT A FLAME OF HOPE TO DELAY THE DESTRUCTION POISED TO BE RELEASED..." UNQUOTE Lansings letter. *
*comment. Back in mid 1987 Steve-JOEL had a vision of the Beast-man, and he appeared to him looking like Jerry Falwell. We knew Falwell was NOT the man, we wondered the meaning. Not l ong ago(last weeks) Jerry Falwell appeared with Oliver North, likening him in his trials as like Christ, and encouraged North to get into POLITICS. Only now is Jesus revelation understood. What Jesus told us in mid 1987 was that Oliver North is a chosen and open vessle of the antiChrist spirit -- this the Holy Spirit affirmed to Lansing, as he shared in his letter. From: Lyn, April 20 1988 NY [Testimony on SEALING] QUOTE "...on my plane trip to Cleveland I had yet another example of how the Lord is taking care of us. My plane was speeding down the runway to take off. Just at that point when the plane should have lifted off, there was a horrific "Woosh-roar" and the plane came to a dead stop. The plane had to be towed back to the gate--an engine had failed. During the next week several planes around the country had engine problems -with injuries.

I believe that the Lord that since you guy l s were at our house and extended the Sealing to us, that it has twice saved me from being crippled, blinded or dead. Once when I fell through a roof and Angels spread my feet so they ended up on rafters to stop my fall and once when a contactor coil exploded in my face and the Angels shielded me. I received flash burns in my eyes from the bright light and the Lord healed me by that next day. My other friend and his family also have been protected from harm because of the Sealing and the reason we know it was the Sealing extended to us, by you, from the Lord --is the Lord told us it wa s so.

But the Father reminded me that you need to hear good news too!! Since receiving the Sealing on June 11, 1987, our life has turned around completely - to the Glory of God. We began to earnestly seek the Lord and since January 1, 1988 have been hearing His Voice audibly and more and more clearly inaudibly. The Sealing (Grace of God) has protected our 2 year old when she was run over by a car(two scrapes only) and a heavy Satanic attack on me, personally. The Lord is bringing our home into Godly order and what a blessing it is to have peace and harmony after years of fighting against each other... I now know that God is my Father and I serve Him in Love and not in fear any longer. Ps 27:10 ...The Lord keeps telling us to YIELD, TRUST and OBEY and we discern the same message thru your newsletters and know that we are knit in Spirit.

So I called the mighty angels together and told them we rule and conquer by the power of God's Righteousness! We all rejoiced...I asked God why he did this. He said something to the effect, so that we can share the height, breath, depth and length of God's infite Wisdom(Love) with one another. This was the key to the Kingdom of God.

This is a destroyer of Gods children, its IN THE WORLD -loosed by church decision. I discern and KNOW by the Spirit of God that the 27 children killed in the fiery Kentucky bus crash Clurch bus) and the recent mass murder in Chicano(school) are the handivork of this demon principality. Its tarqettinq Christians for death and its g oing to keep doinq so in many ways. The one reason its not killed everyone(survivors in the bus crash and in Chicano school) is that one !') p Intercessor is envaginn it, lessening its effect. Had any of these who are dead now been Sealed , they would be alive today - this thi nn has no pawer over the Sealed, and it will prefer to 'ro after Christians who are unaware of spiritual warfare or the power of prayer. This lemon is a close companion of Lucifer, it was with him this September 1987 - it was driven off, now its been loosed anain, its back anain. I reconnize its handiwork and methods. R inht now its merely lavi ne down a p attern or foundation for even greater mass murders.

'TREATY DEBATE BEGINS / A5: • Tl t Senate is trying to vote on ratification of Preside .tt . Reagan's meiEUm-range nuclear arms treaty before he leaves for the Moscow
(r)
Lii
The Pavlograd plant, about 504 miles southwest of Moscow in the Ukraine, is the only facility the Soviets have for manufacturing the main rocket motors for the new 55 . 24 intercontinental ballistic missile, administration officials said yesterday.
The SS-24 is a large, ] O- warhead weapon that can be launched from either underground silos or rail cars. The Soviets began deploying it last year on rail cars. Fewer than a dozen are thought to be operational. The SS-24, similar to the U.S. MX missile, is one of two ICBMs in the Soviet arsenal that are mobile. The other is the 55 . 25, which is carried on a truck launcher. The United States has yet to deploy any mobile long-range nuclear missiles, although the Reagan administration is pressing Congress to develop a rail launcher for the MX missile. The accident at the Soviet plant
occurred just 2 ½ weeks befor( • President Reagan and General Secreta ry Mikhail Gorbachev open a summit in Moscow that Is expected to focus on prospects for an arms accord that would reduce the number of long-range missiles in each nation's arsenal.
The SS-24 missile is a major issue in the current strategic arms talks on limiting long-range nuclear missiles. The United States is demanding that they be banned. Administration officials said it would probably take the Soviets at least six months to resume production of the missile. "This is their only production line for the SS-24 ma in rocket motors," said one source, who requested anonymity, "This is a severe setback, albeit tempora ry . "We estimate they could be back in production in six months. But in the meantime, it's a sigrtificant body blow to their ICBM program.-'
mov said. NBC News quoted U-S. intellisummit. gence sources as saying the explosion was "catastrophic" for the Soviets' long-range missile program but indicated the blast did "Apparently, this will delay not involve a nuclear Ut h ead.

APRIL 29, 1988 - OVERCOMIN G ....MAY 12, 1988 RUSSIAN MISSILE PLANT EXPLODES (continued) "oril 29, 1988 was also the day "Washington for Jesus" started - a prayer rally in Washington ,1.C.--an estimated 125,000 Christians gathered to pray for America. Back in 1983 JESUS WORD revealed a period of 13 days following mailing of a newsletter to HIS INTERVENTION--there was also the 1981 Word "IN 12 DAYS SOMETHING TO HAPPEN" --depending on how you counted it --May 12 and May 13th were in view for a event of significance for MERCY_ Then there was JESUS WORD of 1979 "WEDNESDAY YOU WILL KNOW' --all these came to mind today, some of which we had in view , we expected good news, we got it!!! The RUSSIAN MISSILE PLANT Blew-Up MAY 12, 1988 --it was headline news WEDNESDAY MAY 18, 1988. I have devoted the 8th page almost entirely to the headlines article, as this is something special. "FIRST" This is an Exclusive one of a kind factory that blew up in Russia --and I believe its likely the manufacturing site for the missile rockets motor for the Cuban missiles. What this means is that God answered your prayers, as He did in 1984, only this time unlike in 1984 - we would see the evidence of His Answer very fast, almost ifmtediately. "SECOND" IFor those of you who were with the NET OF PRAYER in 1984, this is a re-run of what we saw then four years ago, for those of you who joined us since , its 'on the spot confirmatioi of the effect of Holy Spirit directed prayer. For those who look from the sidelines its an invitation to join in with the work of prayer to make a difference for mercy.

'l The work is not finished. When the newsletter was mailed APRIL 29, 1988 that marked the day when prayer accumulated to where we could begin to OVERCOME Judgments in favor of We need press on and into prayer the more, Mercy -- its not the end, but the beginning. continue in prayer, endure in prayer --going the more by Faith with Joy and Thanksgiving to God for His answers.
"FOURTH" --Over the years GOD has provided powerful, and subtle, obvious and easy to see evidences of the power of prayer --its been our job to point out the effect of prayer and the effect of prayerlessness. In this kind of obvious answer to our prayers, I perceive and discern several things important to take note of, these being: ( A)--By this GOD signifies His Approval of this ministry and the work of prayer He has set before us. Needless to say, following mailing of the newsletter calling for concerted 'visualization' seeking destruction of 'missiles' -- we would last week receive a number of letters from readers who in usually unkind terms asked to be removed from the We discerned by the Spirit mailing list --who called us 'deceived', 'ungodly',etc. of God that Satan was furious with us, and the Devil usually finds some Christians who will do his will --when we get such letters we KNOW we have hurt Satans cause. We have also seen that when Satan does this --GOD moves to make His Approval of us evident, and so we discern this event May 12th is just that --GODS APPROVAL. (B)--BUILDING FAITH. .The Lord our God to do this so quickly, in such an obvious way is also in His Purposes designed to strengthen our Faith to KNOW He hears our prayers, He is answering our prayers - He is with us. If this news is exciting to you who did pray i t was intended to do that, to strengthen you in Faith to PRESS ON in prayer, to FINISH by FAIT[. "FIFTH" -Its a time to offer Thanksgiving and Praise to God for answered prayers --then to press on. ar YOU who did pray, you will immediately recognize from the news Gods answer to your prayers for those who did not pray --these will be skeptical, even afraid --and some will be offended. Why? If a man does not move by Faith with Love in prayer KNOWING the authority Jesus gave us, they can seldom acknowledge the reality , tho its evident, of what they do not bel i ev e.
Page 1 0 THE STAFF AND SWORD MINISTR Y MAY 18, 19 88 APRIL 29, 1988 OVERCOMING ---MAY 12, 1988 RUSSIAN MISSILE PLANT EXPLODES (continued) PRAYER & ITS POWER: In 8 years times before MAY 1984, NO Russian Missile bases, depots, or plants exploded to my knowledge. ONLY following three weeks of concerted NET OF PRAYER
Intercessions asking God in Jesus Name to BLOW UP Missiles in Russia that they intended to use in a surprise attack on U.S.A. did Russian missiles start exploding --and in MAY 1984. News reports revealing this fact did not come out til the end of 1984. In the FOUR YEARS since MAY 1984 --NO Russian missiles exploded in MAY 1985, MAY 1986, MAY 1987 --not until this MAY 1988 and ONLY when the last newsletter got out April 29, 1988 to call all to pray to ask God to BLOW UP Russian missiles --this time He has blown away a new missile plant.
There are several points to make ab out this observation, some obvious, some subtle but importar [1] When you pray in Gods Perfect Will, as the Spirit of God leads the effect of prayer is awesome to see, Gods answers come quickly. By this we can know something about all these missiles and nuclear weapons --just as we can see God Approves of this Ministry by whats visible --its equally apparent these weapons of war are NOT in His Approval. [2] JESUS WORD revealing Russian super secret plan to attack America by surprise using these missiles is readily CONFIRMED and AFFIRMED by the kinds of answers to prayer we saw in 1984 and now by whats so visible this May 12, 1988. [3] YOUR PRAYERS. If you were inclined to think you prayers have little effect, or if you pray weakly not knowing if God hears --then look at whats probably a multi-$Billion dollar series of plants levelled by your prayers, which God heard, and God answered. Its often a 'false humility' that brings us to think our prayers have little importance or weight, The Bible does not say that, we should not even think it . In Luke chapter 10 JESUS said: ' BEHOLD, I GIVE UNTO YOU POWER TO TREAD ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY; AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU.." JESUS in Luke ]D
This is the authority Jesus vested in each one of us, individually and collectively as His Body on Earth. Its rightly used in PRAYER, led by CHRISTS LOVE, on Holy Spirit Direction. As you see the very evidence of this "POWER.. .OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY" in the May 12, 1988 event - the missile plant blowing up - you will realize why prayer in the church is so severely resisted and who is behind that resistance. In very Truth, the cost of just over $760 to mail the last newsletter was the KEY to this evident Victory in Christ. Jesus made it plain to us, the support needed whereby that newsletter could be mailed , thus the very DAY it would be mailed was to be noted. We are Jesus prophets, and He shows us things you need to KNOW in order to rightly decide matters, that you have opportunity to apply JESUS AUTHORITY in prayer. In the last newsletter the Holy Spirit clearly led me to review His Word concerning the 26 Million lives - it could go for Mercy or Judgment, the decision was, remains yours. As support has increased, we were able to inform you and mail the newsletter April 29th, you responded in prayer and with gifts now we can see the evidences of MERCY overcoming Judgments. But the work is not done, its begun - steadfastness in prayer and support is the key to obtaining even greater Mercy in all. But as I have seen for years, powerful visible proofs such as we have in view now, do not convince those who doubt-disbelieve but it does undergird and strengthen the Faith of those who do believe, who do pray, who do yield to the Spirit of God thru Jesus Christ. Satan is a wily relentless enemy - we have seen him target N.O.P Intercessors in past years following such victories in Christ, and in times when one might expect increases in numbers of intercessors, we have seen rather 'loss of intercessors'. This brings us to the subject LOOSED MISSILE S and o ne situation which mi ht help you understand. LOO

who HAVE prayed, usually thru men --men, even pastors in the church system. Many former NOP Intercessors on seeing Gods evident answers to our prayers have with joy, excitement, and some innocence gone to their ministers to tell them what happened. They come away sad, depressed, fearful -- more often than not, ministers will not receive and not accept what God has done. Instead they quote doctrines, refute Gods presence, and sow seeds of FEAR, fear of deception. These former NOP Intercessors come away injured in their Faith, without knowing it they have 'cast pearls before swine' and the swine turn and trample them. Satan has a DOUBLE purpose in this - not only to turn one away from prayer but to undo what they have done in prayer already - to gain a 'hidden opportunity' to kill and destroy thru the very person who had prayed. How can this be? When any of us pray for mercy, we in effect intercede, thru prayer we stand between the sinner and the consequences of sin. If you will use me as an example, by Gods anointing I stand in the GAP for many, if I stand aside --these will be subject to the consequences of their sin. In other words, any of us that pray --if we turn away, we also LOOSE that which we had once withstood in Christ by His Love thru prayer. It may be that the Spirit of God might lead an intercessor in a different way - then nothing is lost or loosed. But most often when men turn from MOP, they ACCUSE and JUDGE as they l eave --the spirit behind this is not of God. We do KNOW that some of the missiles stopped by prayer in 1984 have been LOOSED since by those who turned away against Gods Will, but according to mans will, and ceased praying. Its by Revelation of the Holy Spirit we know this - and Satan-Lucifer thinks they have a 'hidden ace up their sleeves', that we do not know --but we do know. The Net Of Prayer on Jesus direction is organized under Prayer Leaders, called Colonels and Governors, and all these are under the authority of the prophets Jesus has commissioned. God has an order of authority and responsibility in His Body - part of it is that in these kind of situations, those in anointed authority can COUNTERMAND, OVER RULE the "LOOSING" of others to nullify the effect, remove Satans opportunity and grounds. To do so, we need discern which missiles were LOOSED since 1984 --this is bein g done now in prayer by many of the NOP Colonels and Governors, they will report to us their discernments, we will collect
that and submit it to all for prayer, to OVERCOME what was loosed.
ONE FORMER INTERCESSOR This brother in Christ was once close to me personally. He was Sealed in 1982, and as a consequence he was spared from death in an obvious way. When he had serious troubles the Lord had me counsel him, pray with him, he was delivered of a spirit, and his marriage was saved. At his home one time in 1982, Jesus multiplied the food on their supper table when I was with them, his wife was shaken by this, as she put away more food than she served at supper. God moved in their lives thru this ministr y in a number of ways, thrilling them at Gods presence and power. Late in 1982 I visited with them and they wanted me to attend their church service with them, so I did. They had submitted to this pastor, and when he saw me in the service he told them (which they told me) he beamed with Christs Light, this is a man of God - who is he?" So they told him about me, he expressed an interest in meeting me, and they urged me to qo talk to him. I was reluctant, inwardly I knew a lot about this pastor by the Spirit of God, he had Gods call this I knew, but he was really just a babe in Christ ?nd conforming himself after mans ways. Years back Jesus told me He had given me an Angel by whom I would see into mens hearts with -- I hadn't asked for that, I wasen't sure I wanted it - but from that time I did see into mens hearts. Having had fellowship with pastors who knew Jesus and were led by His Love -- there was never

ONE FORMER N.Q.P. INTERCESSOP (contd) any trouble, we didn't judge each other or test each other, we flowed in a sweet open fellowship in Christ. But in most other encounters with pastors it was not so, more often than not, envy and fear filled them about me, they were either immature or very carnal or both and such meetings were troublesome to say the least. But my brother in Christ and friend, persisted in encouraging me to visit with his pastor, and they had set a time for our meeting --just inc and the pastor alone. I agreed and prayed before hand. When I met the pastor, he was rigid and uncomftable with me, I tried to ease his concerns with light conversation - he then asked me what I saw about his ministry. I told him plainly that his prayer life was too little, his sermon was Biblically correct but he lacked the Spirit of God in his words. I told him • as it was apparent to me by the Spirit of God to stop conforming himself after man, as he had a genuine call in Christ, he was individual, different and needed to be what God made him to be, something he could only know thru a life of prayer seeking Jesus Help. I could see he was now afraid of me, he hardly moved, he spoke with hesitations weakly like a child would. At this point I sighed in my spirit, knowing this was not going well. The man was so timid if I said anything he would likely faint or run away -- I decided to end the private talk, end it with prayer and a blessing and qo. I did. Hours later at a late night service, which I did not attend, this pastor attacked me violently from his pulpit, he accused me of being part of a conspiracy to take over his church, that people were telling me things about him they should not have done, and then he boasted of how he 'threw me out of his office, and told me off ". When I heard that I almost
laughed. I told my brother in Christ and his wife what happened in our meeting, and that what he said afterwards was so untrue it was crazy, this man was lying and accusing to cover up. But my friend had submitted to this church and this pastor --and a week later he and his wife were called into a special meeting with the pastor and the 'Apostle" of the church who had a larger church a distance away. They were told that they were in danaer of losing their salvation, they had to submit, repent of having to do anything with me or else be cast out of the church as heretics. They submitted, repented, and cane into a bondage to fear that would destroy their freedom and life in Christ - since then they accuse, and act without love. It would take the counsel of a retired minister and prophet of the Lord to help me understand why this was so. I found that even if I attended church services as I travelled, pastors who did not know me - noticed me the moment I walked into their churches and visibly feared me. It bewildered me, I came in Love, just to fellowship as I travelled across the nation. The old prophet told me "You need understand you are Jesus prophet and you carry His AuthoritÂą with you, these pastors feel it, discern it, they know 'mans authority' but they have not meet a man with Gods Authority --thats why they fear you." I asked "But ordinary Christians do not fear me!?!" The prophet said, "You love Jesus, they love Jesus - you abide in His Love - whats to fear? These others do not, so they fear real authority."
Oh I could have gone back to that pastor and confronted him but in prayer the Lord had me restrain myself, to let it ao by. As I prayed to forgive this pastor, asking God to forgive him - the Holy Spirit revealed that in a time He would send me to these pastors in that same Authority to give them a choice, to Repent and turn back to God or to die. These same pastors were destroying and scattering His flock, He would give them a time to repent; but when that time was passed, He would move me to remove them in a visible power. That revelation shook me more than the encounter with the pastor troubled me. Yet as scripture says, God is Merciful, Loving and Patient but if a man will not repent He will whet His Swor Against current events, it seems God is whetting His Sword(sharpening it) and I discern His Patience is nearing an end with these who grieve His Spirit, and call Him evil continually. The need for prayer is greater than prayer thats going up - we need ENDURE in prayer, pray thru

MEN OF GOD THEN JUST MEN I know that some Christians feel that I have a low view of pastors - in truth that is not the case. 4hen I meet a roan of God who is a pastor its always a joyful refreshing experience, trouble is you have to go a long way to meet one. They are out there but there are a lot of problems. Since 1985 when Jesus plainly showed me that only 5% of the pastors in America are yielded to Him, a number of brethren have taken me to task on this point, saying this is not so. However, its not a point to be debated, it has nothing to do with my personal opinion, it has everything to do with GODS WORD, it was THE HOLY SPIRIT that revealed this to me, it was JESUS who plainly told me this. My own personal experience attests to what Jesus showed me, but I never thought it was this bad til He showed me in 1985. Til then I thought I just visited the wron g pastors. There are exceptions, and I'm led to speak of these now. In 1982 on the first Sealing Trip, I found m y self in the midst of a collection of pastors in Atlanta from different denominations - 7 all told. The first pastor rejected the Sealing, then I was surprised by the other six pastors. The next pastor to s p eak told me plainly he had prayed for a week before I came and in prayer Jesus spoke to him tellinc him "THIS IS MY HERALD, RECEIVE MY SEALING". The remaining 5 pastors each shared much the same, each had prayed, and each was shown by the Spirit of God that God had sent me --they all except the one, received the Sealing. Another time Jesus sent me to a pastor, saying I was to tell him "JESUS SENT ME", I did -he asked some questions, we parted friendly. A week later he called me to come see him again, and would tell me he had prayed for days after we met, God showed him in prayer He had sent me - I was thus installed to teach a pre-teen and young adult sunday school group in his church(1976)- he had been unable to find an adult who would teach them(they ask hard questions) )r two years - Jesus told me to accept the post, I did. We had a warm fruitful relationship. Another time, in 1983, Jesus directed me to go to pastors in Corpus Christi - I was to say "JESUS SENT ME" - I was promptly thrown out by the first two, they said nothing except there is the door, use it' --the next pastor took opportunity to grill me severely and unkindly, never allowing me to say why Jesus sent me(to ask them to pray)--then he escorted me out the doors. Next pastor met me at the door, I said "JESUS SENT ME", he responded " I don't need this nonsense' and slammed the door in my face. Well I went thru this kind of thing four to seven times a day, from city to town to city, day after day . I got to the place where it was easy, all I had to do was smile in Jesus Love and say "JESUS SENT ME" and I was out --every now and then I met a pastor who had time to chew me up before he threw me out, these were very unpleasant experiences. The Angel of the Lord led me to the churches, I seldom picked them, when I did, it was no better. This same day in Corpus Christi, after being thrown out and chewed up more than four times, the Angel now pointed me to an Episcopal church -- I was hurting by then and muttered "how much more of this do I have to take today? What is there an abuse quota in heaven or what?" I obeyed, went in, asked to see the pastor, he came out of his office saying 'What can I do to help?" I said "JESUS SENT ME" and mentally braced myself. I was surprised--delighted and at first suspicious, the pastor said "Praise Jesus! Come on in, lets talk!" He got me a cup of coffee, we sat down, he said to me "You must be Jesus prophet, what is the Lord saying?" I said "You know I'm a prophet?!" He said "I can see that easily". We shared and fellowshipped, it was a warm and happy time we pra y ed together for quite a time, blessed each other and so I left. Pastors who have a life of prayer, who recognize Jesus IS LORD, have no trouble with His prophets, there is no friction, no hard words, its blessed. And tho HALF of the ministers in the church system ARE men of God called by God --very few are yielded to Jesus in prayer, id thus they are conformed to mans ways and have no capacity to recognize their time of visitation. Visitation? Of the pastors who did receive me, who did pray, each KNEW Jesus was with me, some saw Jesus with me -- I reflect on this openly and note that those who slammed doors in my face, who threw me out -- were in fact doing this to Jesus Himself, not me. Its scarrv.

Lastly Royal states "RE 3:19 to CRY ALOUD, spare Thy people"--
this is what we are doing even now and have been forears
Y --prayer intercession on behalf of Gods people, we ourselves no l ess than all others. We KNOW that an appointed time of jud g ment
is before us, we have known for many years that what we pray to withstand is WAR ON THE SAINTS, thats what this demonic host under Wormwood come to bring on Earth. Nancy-TONI brought this to my attention, saying: "Some say your writing is hard to understand, after reading Royals, yours is easy by comparison--but you both say the same thing." So I read it, found i t Was easy to understand; but then the Lord has shown us the same ' --its only difficult to convey to others because most have not been prepared to hear this. This is the ISSUE and DIRE NEED --PREPARATION, GROWTH IN CHRIST. The "Washington For Jesus" meeting April 29, 1983 reveals the problem, in a nation of nearly 200 Million professing Christians less than l/5, 0 ODths of 1% are led by the Spirit of God in prayer, the vast major;z, ` it would seem are kept as babes'in Christ, these center on their carnality not Christ --and Jesus spoke of these in Matthew 24:19 I
' AD WOE UN TO THEM THAT ARE WITH CHILD, AND TO THEM THAT GIVE SUCK IN THOSE DAYS!" I came to see THEM THAT ARE WITH CHILD as speaking of Pastors, having con
gregations of baby Christians, too weak in Christ
stand in Him in tribulations. Amen_

BE INNOCENT AS DOVES AND WISE AS SERPENTS
Vv
om page 8 of this newsletter I have carefully explained a situation to you leading up to Royals prophetic Word and revelation that reveals in condensed-compressed form a terrible judgment corning on the whole church world wide. Jesus has shown us the same as He has shown Royal -- its a hard Word, but soundly based out of scriptures --more, my personal experience alone tells me that church system and most of its leaders readily reject Jesus without so much as a second thought. If you wonder why this terrible judgment will fall on them, then in sharin g my experience, I hope to Dive you some clear insight as to why it will befall them. Some of you may be excited by seeing Gods evident answer to our pra y ers, you may think to run to some pastor thinking this obvious evidence will turn them around --be careful!!! Do NOT so do unless you receive a clear -confirmed leading from Jesus. Why? As scripture say "BE INNOCENT AS DOVES, AND WISE AS SERPENTS" -- meaning do NOT expose yourself to unnecessary abuse - intimidation that can not only injure your Faith but leave you wounded in spirit. JESUS only sent me out of my prayer closet after that I was well grounded in Him, His Love and
had a sound-solid personal relationship with Jesus. I endured hurts, and saw the effect of these godless men in the church system, how the wounds bring anger and bitterness and that leads to angry accusation, judging and then one's life in Christ dies out - in confusions and hurt one is inclined to behave like the grievous wolves you encounter. One who is well grounded in Jesus Love will recover, they know how to renew in prayer and in Christ but many christians are babes, they are not only easily wounded, often time they are destroyed. In the years from 1982 to 1985, 1 met on the highways and byways hundreds of broken children of God who were destroyed by harsh-hard church ways and I was horrified at what I saw. I met countless christians who like me had a wonderful life giving experience with Jesus, but in t he church system conformed to mans ways, teachings, the vibrance, life, and freedom they rst knew in Christ was gone -- they were empty, dry and starving. So many young Christians easily think that once Gods presence is obvious in answered prayer, or in some event -- that this evidence will turn others to Christ --if you do this you will find its not so. Once in awhile it can happen, but on the average it does not work that way. No matter how powerful the evidence, men are not changed by what they SEE, they are only changed by what they receive and yield to --if not Jesus Love, if not Gods Spirit of Truth -then no proof can change them. I do not discouraqe you from testifying of Christ, but I do encourage you in two things FIRST. FIRST --(A) Grow in Christ, be founded wholly in His Love, KNOW Him personally and allow Jesus to build your Faith, and to determine when you should 'ao out and testify' --do NOT assume, pray to KNOW by the Spirit of God. And (R) Pray for those you will testify to, pray the Holy Spirit prepare them and you in what you say. When you are able to handle rejection with Love, to Forgive hurts, and Pra y for those who abuse you, truly Loving them as Jesus Loves you -- then you are ready to go out'. If you will present TRUTH, it must be bound up in JESUS LOVE --more often its not what you say, its what Spirit you say it in. JESUS LOVE Draws men, it does NOT compel men. JESUS does not turn from men, its men who turn from Him - but we need know that Jesus Arms are ever extended to those who reject Him, turn from Him. If you need understand why these terrible judgments are coming in simple terms --then this is the understanding. Multitudes of Christians are being led into death and away from life, and they don't know the difference because they are not founded in Jesus Love to where all m ar is cast out. The only thing that will save multitudes from certain death is an enduring iving testimony of Jesus Love alive in your life, and men tho they be unbelieving, skeptical, rebellious are readily drawn by REAL CHRIST LOVE. If you will be eager, be eager to live and walk and be filled with Jesus Love, receiving ever more, ielding more and more --thru prayer. CM*_kM`
