Hugs and Kisses -- ZTI K A D ZTCNZ By: Chuck-JOHNEL y Letter form Barbara- Gam alielle Dated Februar 28 2004 (Quote): What is the difference
between judging, rebuking harshly, or just calling things as the really are? For instance, if someone is a liar, you know it, they know it. How do I call them on it—when they continue to do it, and it not be considered judging them. If the Bible calls it out as a sin, do I not call it to them as the same or do I just ignore what they are doing and wait on YESHUA to handle it? What is my responsibility if any. Please explain." Response by Chuck-J0HNEL This question touches on the meaning of "judge" and this is not a simple matter easily answered. First, what is the definition of judge? Judge - concordance definition is: To distinguish, try, condemn, punish, avenge, conclude, damn, sentence to. Back to the garden of Eden and the fall of man: When Eve and then Adam partook of
the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil they immediately made ajudgment and in that they judged God. The forbidden fruit gave them the capacity to make judgments APART from GOD THE FATHER. Previous to the fall they made no judgments whatsoever but did whatsoever the FATHER showed them to do. Therefore judging, rebuking harshly or calling things as they really are APART from FATHER GOD is sin - pure and simple.
If you see or perceive that a brother or sister is engaged in sinful behavior the FIRST THING you ought do is pray for them, and seek the guidance and direction of the HOLY SPIRIT. But, keep your mouth zipped and keep your mind stayed on JESUS - do not make judgments aloud or even inwardly (mentally). Keep in mind that before we speak a thing, we think it first - and we are judged as much by what we dwell on mentally as by what we speak with our mouths.

Response to Barbara-Gain alielle b y Chuck-JOHNEL (continued): Then let us look at what the Bible teaches us: "...0 man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." (Romans 2: 1 selections) Often time when we judge others harshly we are in fact judging ourselves for we see something in them or their behavior that is in us. However, those who do this are rarely aware of the fact that they are judging themselves. This is one of the dangers of getting into the bad habit of judging others - you end up judging yourself. "Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned, forgive and ye shall be forgiven." ('JESUS in Luke 6: 36-37) "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." (JESUS in John 7:24) What is meant by a righteous judgment? JESUS gives an example in John 8: 15-16: "Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if 1 judge, My judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me." (JESUS in John 8: 15-16) JESUS did NOTHING except the FATHER spewed Him - He restored the relationship man once had with FATHER GOD before the fall - doing nothing, making no judgments apart from Him. However, in life we make other "judgments" all the time that are of merit and are not necessarily included in what I'm sharing. For example, making the judgment that it is not right to murder someone is a judgment, or making the judgment that you like steak more than fish - another judgment call that is ok. But when it comes to people and judging them or their actions we need tread carefully, very carefully. Barbara-Gamalielle gave an example" (Quote) ".._if someone is a liar, you know it, they know it. How do I call them on it?... " (Unquote) First off, most liars come to the place where they believe their own lies so they may not "know" that they are lying since it has become habitual. Nonetheless, when you see an obvious behavior that is not right - the first thing you ought to do is to go to the Lord in prayer for them, asking for His guidance, direction and help for that brother or sister in Christ.

PRAY FIRST - taking action (saying something) is the last thing you ought do. SPEAKING TRUTH WITH LOVE: Many years ago JESUS taught me to speak truth with love and until I could speak a truth with His Love I was to keep it to myself, until in and out of prayer I could do this lovingly. "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. (Ephesians 4: 15) I

Letter from Helen S. Dated Februu 2G 2004 (Quote): " I have David Wil.kerson's "The Vision and Beyond". I don't quite understand about the millennium, Christ's 1000 year reign. Will God bring heaven to earth after the great Tribulation or will that happen after the 1000 year reign? I pray every day that you and TONI are flooded with blessings." REPLY b y Chuck-JOHNEL: In the Book of Revelation chapter 20 we can read of how the Devil, and Satan are bound up for a thousand years and that this is called the "first resurrection" (Verse 5). But when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison and then shall come the final battle in which the enemies of God are consumed and the saints are preserved. Lastly comes the judgment and a new heaven and a new earth. This is clearly outlined in the Book of Revelation chapter 20-21. "Who is wise? He that learns from every one. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody. - " Benjamin Franklin. Letter from Rick W. Dated February 22, 2004 (Quote): "I can tell you from personal experience today, and over the past week, that the prayer we pray at the top of the title page of these, "Looking to Jesus" prayers is a very powerful prayer! When Jesus said, "LOOK NOT AT THE DESTRUCTIONS COMING ANYMORE, BUT LOOK TO ME " He most certainly meant that, and I think He meant it immediately! All of a sudden, I am reading this new book sent to me from Rephael (by Jesus) which brought to me an entire new focus on abiding. (The book, "Experiencing The Depths of Jesus Christ") The first 20 pages answered all of my personal questions about abiding, getting right to the point. From there, I have had some astounding "wake up calls" in my own abiding time, the Lord leading me more into the seriousness that we need to pay attention to in this special time of entering into His peace and presence. I discovered quite quickly this morning, that it isn't a good time to "doze off! The Lord has His way of getting His point across in ways that mean no harm, maybe even a little humorous, but definitely wake you up! He is here in my life!! And He is letting it be known!"

for as Virgil saith, "It never troubled the wolf how many the sheep be. " Francis Bacon. Letter ,from Marrfo F. Dated February 6, 2004 (QuoteL "Oh! I almost forgot to tell you...Denny and Kasey and myself were in Den's pickup (it's a 1972 and has no seatbelts), we were only about 2 miles from my farm when we hit a patch of ice, up and over, we rolled her. I said Jesus be with us! I had my eyes closed and it was so quiet I almost didn't dare to open them. I was literally amazed when I opened them, we were all three sitting in the upright position. My son Kasey said, "Oh, that was awesome! " The only injury was a scratch on Kasey's arm. And that's not even the fascinating part...it happened in front of a trailer house on a farm, where a lady, perhaps in her early 70's was sitting at her kitchen table and watched the entire episode. Her husband came out the door to see if we were alright and invited us in— the lady said "well, where is the fourth person? " I said, "No, it was just the three of us. " "Oh no. " she said, "I watched the whole thing, 4 people got out of that truck. " I said, no, it was my husband, my son and myself. She said, "Honey, I know what I saw, 4 people got out of that truck. " I automatically said, "Oh, it must have been Jesus or an angel." She was so shook up—much more than us, she insisted her husband make double sure! Denny and the man searched— not for a person— but for a heavy duty 10 foot chain, the kind you pull a vehicle with. It was in the truck when we parted our home— but it was no where to be found, not now, and not in the open when all the snow melted. Whenever anything comes up now, financially, physically, mentally, testing or trails, I recall that day and that lady exclaiming over and over again, "4 people got out of that truck, I saw it with my own two eyes," And I can rest assured Jesus will never leave us or forsake up, to keep us in all our ways!

Letter from Jo S. (Quoted "I am reading, should say studying the very long report (CHURCH DECISION REPORT). Find it awesome! I truly thank you for the time you spend seeking Jesus, and reporting to us. It has made my prayer time and seeking Jesus more meaningful." "Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave to wealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to have done nothing and succeeded at it; better to have lost some battles than to have retreated from the war; better to have failed when serving God than to have succeeded when serving the devil. What a tragedy to climb the ladder of success only to discover that the ladder was leaning against the wrong wall. " Erwin W. Lutzer Letter from Bill B. Quote): "1 am very upset with President Bush! Illegal aliens, unfair trade deals, outsourcing, doesn't fight for judicial nominees, A.W.O.L. social issues. I've never voted for a democrat before. I'm thinking about it. Talk me out of it?! If all the attacks are supposed to come while President Bush is President why not vote him out and stop it?" Comment b y Chuck-JOHNEL: JESUS plainly stated that George W. Bush was made to be a shield for His people, remove him and the shield goes and what will follow will be horrific and beyond anything you can imagine now. I won't try and talk you out of voting for someone other than G. W. Bush but I will warn, as JESUS has shown me, that if he loses this November 2 nd election it will result in unleashing hell's power on America unlike ever seen before and well before it is time.

I am still reeling from the exhaustion of just reading about all of that, reading slowly and trying to soak everything up! As I read, I could slightly feel and imagine the experience of seeing and knowing the different things you so vividly described. It was so real to me! I wanted to comment that as I began to read this "book" a couple of days ago, the first thing that struck me was noteworthy. I was especially surprised to notice the new clarity of thought in JDHNEL's writing, with clear, concise, and plain terms and explanations. It was really enjoyable and easily understood reading! I personally connected with everything said, in full agreement, and with much feeling of God's love for His own. I can say that the things I learned from what you reported also sparked many new insights in my own life, things that may come out over the future weeks and months ahead?

I have begun to feel and know of the bubble of His protection over and about me. I found it also curious and interesting, that as I read through the report, I was amazed at how many people have had an experience with, or "seen" George W.

Letter from Daniel HDated May 24 2004 (Quote): "I've been commissioned to extend the Seal and visited twenty five more churches in my area, most dispel the idea. I even pleaded with some to reconsider. The best I seem to be able to do is reach a few individuals. So much doubt and unbelief. I believe it's what will cause the Lord to turn back to Israel. Do you think it will take more catastrophes for the church to accept the Seal?"(Unquote) Response by Chuck-JOHNEL: The Seal of the Living God is the unconditional Love of God extended to His people unconditionally. It comes without cost and is given in Jesus' Name. In my experience the primary reason why people reject it has more to do with the fact that they are carnal, led by "their woman" (soul) and not by the Spirit of God than the lack of catastrophes. Understand that the carnal mind is enmity against God and that to be carnally minded is death (Romans 8: 6, 7). The likelihood of any of them having a change in heart is slim (not impossible but unlikely) regardless of what happens.

Letter from Gretel-RAPHAEL Dated June I, 2004 (Quote)_ "I have a question for you and JOHNEL. In the March 28, 2004 tape #2, JOHNEL mentions Wormwood again being his guardian angel who fell. Ok, I already knew this and that Wormwood has power to kill 9 out of 10 living things on this earth, I knew this too. JOHNEL said Wormwood looks like JOHNEL. Ok, now the question is: If Wormwood was JOHNEL's guardian angel and fell (and tried to get JOHNEL to fall with him [Wormwood]) would JOHNEL have power to spare 9 out of 10 living things on this earth out of love? As Wormwood has power to kill 9 out of 10 living things on earth out of hate? I have thought of this question to ask you off and on for a few years now and hearing the March 28 `h 2004 tape decided to ask now. Has Jesus ever told you this? I think you, JOHNEL, are the most powerful man here in the USA, not the President. Also, I can confirm we will have the 1,000 praying to stop the Tiny Star. Each night when I go to sleep, I ask Jesus to watch over me when I fall asleep and that any dreams I have will come from Jesus and no one else. In January 2004 (January 15,1 believe) Jesus gave me a dream about the Tiny Star. I was here in the Pensacola area. It was bright daylight. I was facing south from here looking into the Gulf of Mexico. People were around me—many people who were afraid, scared about the 2 suns. I saw (we saw) a very bright light, flaming fire shot out of the south and went up into the air and strikes the Tiny Star coming in and pushed it away. I told the people around me "Oh, the Prophets are there and pushed the star away!" I knew we'd get the 1,000 people to pray and the Tiny Star won't hit us. When I get a dream from Jesus, the dream stays with me—not like the other dreams you get and forget about the next day or two. Jesus' dreams stay for years! I meant to tell you about this dream in January but put it off until you mentioned it in the tape sony." (Unquote) Repl y by Chuck-JOHNEL: First, thank you for sharing your dream/vision of January 2004. Concerning Wormwood, he is a former Cherubim Angel of God who was created to be a "protector of God's children" and in a fallen state became a "destroyer of God's children." He was my angelic counterpart in the beginning with GOD, something I learned by HOLY SPIRIT revelation and by JESUS' Word in the mid 1980's. Some brethren actually encountered him `In The Spirit' and told me that he looked like me except he was very evil, scary evil! Not a thrilling revelation to say the least. During the 1 989 Prophetic Mission to the East Coast he led a demon army and attacked me. In the ensuing battle `In The Spirit' that, thanks to Nancy-TONI and Kathleen-MARY, was turned against him (he was wounded and put out of action for eight months) and so he has avoided confrontations with me since. But to answer Gretel-RAPHAEL's question - - I was sent into this world and given an anointing whereby I could stand in the GAP for this nation, and in that capacity have

Repl y by Chuck-JOHNEL to Gretel-RAPHAEL (continued): operated as a protector of God's people. But based on church decisions made by 2003 the Lord required that we `stand aside' according to those church decisions to reject God's help and protection. This same decision that side-lines me next empowers Wormwood to be a destroyer and he will destroy 90% of the church that gave him this power. The anointing I have is the potential to do great things through Christ but it is activated only as the church or His people pray and decide for His help. Then I can move in His empowerment to stand in the GAP for the nation - not until.

The essential causes of Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggles, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars." Will Durant Letter from Lisa T. Dated June 9, 2004 (Quote): "....Five years ago, the Lord told my parents to move to Marshall, Arkansas and sell our home in St. Augustine, Florida, because
it would be destroyed...I want to tell you about a dream I had from the Lord several months ago. In the dream I was shown a map of the United States. The map mainly focused in on middle-eastern portion of the states (it looked like someone had drawn a line in the middle of the country just showing Ohio all the way north and south and then to the east coast). I saw large red dots marking several major cities, but the only one I could clearly make out was Cincinnati. When the Lord showed me a zoomed-in picture over the city of Cincinnati, its tall buildings were standing, but there was a gray looking cast over the entire city like there was soot everywhere. The whole city was abandoned and the windows had been shattered on almost all of the tall skyscrapers. I remember being surprised that the tall buildings were standing. The Lord then spoke to me in my dream and said, "There will be no more than 100 people able to live in the cities at a time." It was put on my heart that there would only be enough food to support 100 people. At first I was shocked and said, "No, Lord, you must mean more people than that." But as I looked there was no sign of any human activity. It was not revealed to me where the people went or what happened to the city to make it look that way. There were at least 3 other red dots on the map where this had happened, but I could not make out exactly where. I know there was one north and south of Cincinnati and another to the east. We have known for at least six and a half years to be prepared for the upcoming
judgment on America and are still in the process of gathering more food storage and other necessary items. I truly want to thank you for your dedication and obedience in the Lord with your Ministry." (Unquote) Comment b y Chuck-.IOHNEL: A neutron bomb would kill all living things and leave structures largely intact - and while I'm no nuclear scientist, the gray soot covering everything could be the result of a neutron bomb bursting in the air over the city - which might also blow out windows on sky scrapers.

"I thought talk was cheap until I scow my telephone bill. " Henny Youngman Letter from Jackie M. Dated June 2, 2004 (Quote): "It is becoming increasingly more
difficult for me to come in to work each day and work on things that I am afraid will never manifest due to the pending judgements. I am grieving over the need for judgement of the Lord on this nation and its people, the lost souls, the death and destruction that is on its way, and having to go through this myself as well as my daughter and her three little sons. I am not looking forward to all of this. I fear that this will bring down the final claw—the martial law that will be imposed upon all Americans and our complete and total loss of all freedoms as we have known them, and that we will be under IJN peacekeeping forces as our own military has no protection as it has all been removed on purpose. Part of God's judgement upon us as a nation? It will be interesting to see how our Lord moves upon and protects His own in the coming days. I have trouble with fasting, as I get sugar lows (right on the border of hypoglycemia and a diabetic swing) and have trouble with dizziness, fuzzy thinking, etc. I have been asking the Lord to allow me to hear His voice clearly for His direction and it is very difficult for me. You are very blessed to know what He wants you to do, where He wants you to be, when, and how to get it accomplished." (Unquote) Comment by Chuck-JOHNEL The key here is not to look at the coming destructions, meaning do not dwell on it or what will follow but rather to dwell on Jesus Christ, His Love and His power to keep you safe regardless of what trials and troubles come your way. Fasting in the Net of Prayer has never been severe - simply decline to eat favorite foods as a sacrifice - there is no need to risk hypoglycemia.

Letter fromre George R. Dated Ma 11, 2004 (Quote continued): to come in this country that the dollar will be worth nothing! If that be true, and I believe it is, would I be wise to invest funds in something like that which during a time of America's judgemrent may come to naught? Now I know if I invest my funds into God's kingdom, it won't go broke, so which do you think (all things being as they are) that I should do? Do you honestly believe that I'll have enough time to prosper from such a belated investment? The second question is this. I have a daughter who has heard, as I have also, of the drilling for oil in Israel by Hayseed Stevens (of Prophecy Club fame). He passed away about six months ago, but his son is continuing his work. We read that it has been prophesied that the oil will be found over there in God's time, so if you've heard of this venture, do you think this is a good time to invest and get in on the ground floor? (So to speak)." (Unquote)
Repl y b y Chuck-JOHNEL: Long term investments are very risky even "if" the judgment does not come crashing down in the next four or five years (which I believe it will and has already started). Oil just hit $50 a barrel another all time high - I only wonder how long the economy can go before these very, very high oil prices begin to undermine economic growth big time. I know it will. Oil prices are one of the things JESUS told me about back in the 1970's that would bring the economy down. When I was on the Prophecy Club tour at the end of 19991 had many people ask me about the stock market - and my best advice was that it was best to get out when you're ahead than stay in and lose everything. Following the terrorist attack on 911 l the U.S. economy took a $9 Trillion doIlar loss, 401k's dropped like a rock and people have taken a horrific loss. The current rise in oil prices is partially due to the recent Hurricanes - when we start getting strong and destructive earthquakes followed by war and more war - what do you think the long term outlook for the economy will be?! Not good! My best counsel, based on what I know and perceive by the Spirit of God is that investing in gold coins, silver coins, platinum (precious metals) is the best over-all long term investment although even the value of gold will not hold in the thick of the judgment. Best advice is to pray and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit once you have reached a point of being relaxed over this issue. On the oil in Israel venture. I heard about it when I was with the Prophecy Club in 1999 and never had a witness to it. I can't add anything else except to say I have no leading and
no insight and am personally skeptical. "A guy takes his boy tiger hunting. They 're creeping through the weeds and the mans says, "Son, this hunt marks your passage into manhood. Do you have any questions? " And the boy asks, "Yes, if the tiger kills you, how do Iget home? "

(Quote): "Specifically the Bible says, "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." (2 Peter 3:10) Could this pouring out of the hot coals you did January 21, 2004 possibly permit this? If the Spirit moves you I'd like a comment, otherwise don't bother."

Letter from Ivan and Ann Dated July 9, 2004 (Quote: "We do appreciate the newsletters and articles that keep us updated on key areas of what's going on. That's what helped draw us to the NOP, there weren't a lot of rabbit-runs over the trivial small things, to sensationalize what never should have been. We went on our vacation the last week of May and first week of June. 5000 miles in 12 days. We went to Portland via Yellowstone. The nearest we came to Spokane was the Columbia River Gorge. The thing that has struck us repeatedly is how empty this country really is, it could have held 500 million people. God has given the impression time and again; this is His creation and He will do with it what IIc wills, despite what all the nature worshipers do or say. I've been struck lately at how empty this land will be after the one year occupation is over, but during the millennium the population could easily reach 500 million! The night before last Dallas witnessed a very bright meteorite fall— another of Wormwood's signs over a city?" (Unquote) Reply b y Chuck-JOHNEL: I once heard a scientist talking on TV years ago about the population growth potential of the United States. This man then made a comment I've never forgotten (though I've forgotten his name) - he stated that the continental U.S. could support a population like Western Europe (population density-wise) , be self-sustaining and

Repi y by Chuck-JOHNEL to Ivan and Ann (continued)_ be able to supply all the needs and desires of its population as did Western Europe. The population figure for the U.S. One trillion living souls! That is one thousand billion people! The current U.S. population stands at about 370 million. At another time I heard an engineer talking on TV (years ago) who stated that with proper planning and construction the whole world's population could be housed with parks, shopping facilities, stores and all the entertainment and activities of a city within the boundaries of the State of Texas. Concern ing the meteorite - I don't know if it is another sign from Wormwood - it could just be a meteorite. What made the "Greater Event" obvious to us was the not-so-coincidental appearance of a lots number associated with Wormwood the day a ball of fire (meteorite) is seen over the Pacific Northwest - all on June 3, 2004. This is the area where JESUS said Wormwood would show himself back in 1988. That got our attention. There have been other balls of fire seen since this time but we don't assume that it is Wormwood unless we have a distinct leading to take note. [ P.S. The occupation lasts 7 years.] Teacher: Class it is an interesting linguistic fact that, in English, a double negative forms a positive. In some languages though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language in which a double positive can form a negative. Student: Yeah, right!" Letter from Tom G. Dated Ma y3 2004 (Quote): "I am almost finished reading the two reports. I am awestruck, as always, but especially this time. Thank you so much for these as all the other ones. I don't quite understand why you ask for people's opinions of what you write. In my view, since you are who you are in Christ, you ought to just write what you write and not worry about it. I am certainly not qualified to make much comment on the content, but if you want me to say something: the rule for periods and commas, virtually without exception, is to place them inside a quotation mark, not outside. I do not make a habit of correcting Field Marshals. But you asked. I got really curious about the tornado in Connecticut, so I looked it up tonight. There is none listed for October 1, 1979, but there is one that occurred October 3, 1979 in Connecticut that matches precisely what you said. I'm guessing that in your rush to write that report you much have misread or mis-thought the date by two days. It must be a really bad memory for you, but {gulp} it is a good thing for the rest of us to know. Thank you, sir and ma'am, for all that you have done and continue to do." (Unquote) Chuck- JOHNEL Comment: Tom is right! When I wrote that article I didn't go back into the record to check the date - indeed, I was hard pressed to finish and get the Newsletter rolling and relied on memory (never a good idea). There are simply too many dates and facts encountered in the past thirty years to keep them perfectly straight in my memory.

Letter from Ray W. Dated Jut y, 2004 (Quote): "What is the chance of Sealing President Bush and wife when you meet him in person." Chuck-JOHNEL: Unless the Lord JESUS leads me otherwise it would be a priority work to accomplish. Letter from Jeb R. Dated Jul y 4, 2004 (Quote): "During the work day I will occasionally listen to certain Christian talk shows, one in particular involving Jay Sekulow (the president of the American Center for Law and Justice). I don't know if you're familiar with Jay or the ACLJ but they basically try and counter as much of the ACLU as they can and fight things like gay marriage and abortion and ridiculous suits like the Pledge of Allegiance case etc. etc. Well every once in a while I will go online or call to add my name to a petition and maybe to make a contribution to their effort... My question is this, though their cause is noble and their fight is just, to me it simply seems that in the light of everything that is to come on this nation — it almost seems like it's futile to fight the enemy through organizations such as the ACLJ. Every time I send money to them or someone like them I feel as if I'm just throwing away money. I feel like I'm just fighting a losing battle up hill to simply delay the inevitable. However I don't just want to sit back on my hands and say, "Well, nothing I can do about it -- it gonna happen anyway so what's the use? " and then the Lord says to me on the great day —"Hey! — I needed you and you did nothing!" I know we're supposed to give as the Lord purposes in our hearts, but in an area like this, it's kind of grey for me. Aside from prayer it just seems like I'm again wasting my time and money. Well I guess that's all for now, thank you so much both of you for your obedience and devotion, you both mean a lot to me and your ministry is unparalleled and much needed. God Bless and Amen!"
Chuck -JOHNEL's Response: In December, 1988 the Lord JESUS asked me to write some pastors in the Mt. Vernon, Washington area asking them to pray and call their congregations to pray against coming judgments. I argued with Jesus saying, "Lord you know as well as I do that they will reject Your Word and reject the call to prayer so why waste time, effort and money in such an endeavor? " JESUS replied saying, "WOULD YOU RATHER THEY NOT BE TOLD, HAVING NO OPPORTUNITY TO DECIDE LIFE TO THEMSELVES AND SO TO SUFFER DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AS IN ARMENIA,
AS IN ARMENTO ( Columbia, South America), AS IN MEXICO CITY?!" I ceased being half-hearted and embraced His Commission with all my heart. One pastor and some locals responded and prayed, gaining America 12 years of mercy before the 11th. final church decision in 2001 that fed to the loosing of judgment, September ACLJ has a Commission from God, it is a worthy undertaking and if you will support him then be whole hearted. Being lukewarm is not a good thing. God bless.

Letter from Raphael S. of New York Jul y 4. 2004 (Quote): "Dear Chuck-JOHNEL,
Shalom' Enclosed please find a letter (correspondence, sent to inc from brother Morris Cerullo. Would you please clarify my confusion? You say that our Lord Jesus said to stop praying jor judgment to be withheld from our country. Morris Cerullo 's correspondence implies the opposite. Would you please clarifj.' this? Greatest Love in Jesus, Raphael S. of New York, " (Unquote) Chuck-JOHNEL's Reply: On the next two pages I've copied in the heart of Morris Cerullo's September 25, 2004 letter which Raphael refers to. Actually I've addressed this issue some months earlier in a special N.Q.P. Report. Nancy-TONI cut out a full page ad in the October 30, 2004 USA TODAY which brings focus to brother Cerullo's, "SAVE AMERICA NOW." Somehow we missed this TV broadcast — nonetheless, the position we have on this issue is unchanged. In this Ministry we have been addressing fine points of judgment, issues that most of the nation's Ministers know little if anything about. In the past many years we have been made aware by the SPIRIT OF GOD that sin would grow like a cancer in America to the point of no return, to where GOD will intervene to bring in His judgments lest, "MORE BE LOST THAN SAVED." The sin condition in America is so far advanced that it threatens to poison the souls of even the very Elect. The numbers praying and seeking God's mercy and forgiveness is an ever smaller body of believers and, as stated, it has come to the point of `no return' - if prayer for mercy and more time is obtained it will end up with more souls being lost than saved. The mercy and grace extended to America in all these past years has been taken as God's approval of the most vile forms of unbelief, opening this nation up to an ever widening sinfulness, and out of that wickedness, that leads to eternal death for all who embrace it.
I DELLA'S REVELATION Many years ago I knew a Pastor Idella who lived in Florida who was also well known for having a powerful prayer life. One day she learned that her sister had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and she prayed mightily asking the Lord to heal her (Idella had seen many heal1ngs over the years, so she knew the power of prayer). JESUS spoke to Idella and asked her a question saying (to the effect), "IDELLA, I WILL HEAL YOUR SISTER AS YOU ASK, BUT NOW I ASK YOU - CAN YOU ASSURE HER SALVATION?" Idella did not understand and so JESUS explained that He was taking her sister home but if she was healed she would fall into sin and in the process of sin would lose her salvation. So this terminal cancer was His way of sparing her that outcome and assuring her salvation. (C-J's Reply is continued on Page 18)

Dear Raphael, America stands at a critical juncture in history. The results of Election Day, this November 2, will impact not only the next four years.. .but will have implications for generations to come. This single day in November could start our great nation on a
slippery slope of prophetic destruction . Already we are in disastrous trouble! Years and years of moral decline have sapped so much virtue and value from America that we are at the point of devastation -• Pornography revenue in the United States is $12 billion!

There are one million teen pregnancies in the U.S. • 40 million babies have died in abortions since 1973... 4,200 each day! One-third of all births are outside of marriage. What kind of place will our children and grandchildren grow up in? Will they be devoured by immorality and perversion? WE MUST SAVE THEM.. .WE MUST SAVE .AMERICA! I am so thrilled that so many people like you have decided to take a stand to SAVE AMERICA NOW after learning about our critical campaign. Raphael, as you know, we sent this message all over America via our Web site, church mailings, email messages, radio advertisements, television advertisements, and print advertisements. Keep reading. I will share how you can not only help save America, but allow God to turn YOUR personal circumstances around! God has made a w y . He wants to SAVE AMERICA and return her to the morals and freedoms she was founded upon.
^v
In fact, God has given me three prophecies for you that show He not only cares about America, He cares about YOUR PERSONAL SITUATIONS. 1.
God said to tell you that He loves America.
2.
God said the devil is not in control over America. . .Cod is! Furthermore, God has given you and me power and authority over the forces of darkness - and the devil knows it! Behold, I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power
that the enemy [possesses], and nothing shall in any way harm you. Luke 10:19 AMP God said to tell you, my partner and friend: "I, the Lord your God, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of Moses, the God of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, will come into your circumstances. When you respond to my leading , I will turn your circumstances around so that you may know that the Lord your God whom you serve is the only true and living God."

This is God's direct prophecy over your circumstances and our nation. He has promised to turn your circumstances around now and He has promised to SAVE AMERICA! But like in the Bible days, it is up to our obedience to act on His promises. What is the price we need to pay for this salvation? It is your obedience and willingness. It is the same request He had of Esther when she placed her very life on the line to save her people (read Esther Chapters 4-5) Partner, if you will step out in faith and obedience, God will turn our nation around.. .and at the same time your personal circumstances. Let's follow Esther's example -- Esther's nation was in trouble. everyone she knew to Lives were on the line. So, she prayed and as pray and fast, too.
Go, gather all the

Idella understood and yielded to God's Perfect Will and her sister died of the cancer quickly and without suffering.
THE 30 YEAR CHURCH DECISION We are firsthand witnesses that the Church rejection of JESUS, His Word and Mercy led directly to empowering the Devil and his minions to have power over the U.S. The direct result of that final decision made in 2001 was 9/11 - an event expected as a result of a final church decision in 2001 and a decision that drew this nation into a world war with Islamic terrorism.
JESUS made it plain to me that only nationwide repentance could overturn this judgment. I've asked myself this simple question, ".If the Church rejected JESUS' Word and call
to pray for 30 years - will the Church now repent?!?!!" However, Morris is correct - "IF' the Church nationwide would respond and repent and pray - America could be spared this judgment that is coming down on us. But that is a mighty big "IF" and the sum total of my experience with the Church these past 30 years is that repenting and praying is the last thing they'd do. Praying for a HOLY SPIRIT Revival is the most productive direction for prayer today. Praying to withstand the judgment, to get more time would be a disaster if God answered and did so. Morris is right - the devil is not in control over America but the Church (which is in control through Luke 10: 19) has given the Devil considerable power over this nation. We know for a fact that a demon principality working through the sin of the Church initiated, directed and empowered the attacks on 9/11 that took 3,000 American lives and that caused a 7 Trillion dollar loss and more. THOSE WHO HAVE PRAYED ALL ALONG ARE STILL PRAYING: A very minority of God's people have always responded to JESUS' call to pray, to repent and pray. That judgment has been held off for so many years is testimony to that portion of the body of Christ which is faithful and obedient to JESUS. However, the more sizeable portion of the body of Christ has long since hardened their hearts against God and will not respond to appeals to prayer or to repentance and prayer. Sadly they have no idea of what they need to repent of and much less are they willing to repent if they did. To be blunt, America will be saved through the fires of judgment where the dross is burned away in the fiery furnace of God's judgments. I see this after 30 years of calling the church to pray and to repent and pray and seeing their response - their rebellion against God's
Word. God bless. Chuck-JOHNEL.
