WE GET LETTERS Hugs and Kisses -- Sticks and Stones B y : Chuck-JOHNEL Bob A. January 13, 2006 telephone cal/question (Quote) "Why didn't Jesus stay dead in hell eternally?" Repl y b y Chuck-JOHNEL: There are so many ways this question can be answered, but let me start with a prophetic pattern, a revelation of what Jesus would do via the prophet Jonah. Jonah, as you know, was swallowed by a great fish and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights (Jonah 1: 17). It reads in Jonah 2: 1-10 that from the belIy of the great fish he prayed unto the Lord and He (the Lord) heard him out of the belly of hell. Jonah said, "f am cast out of Thy sight; yet i will look again toward Thy holy temple"...and the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. The Lord Jonah prayed to out of the belly of the whale was CHRIST, the Son of God. He had power to give life even to the dead and He did so with Jonah which was also a prophetic pattern to what Jesus Christ would go through after He died on the cross. So the revelation of GOD long before JESUS was conceived and born was that He would die, go into hell, and after three days rise up by the power ofthe Lord God. This experience of Jonah was revelation of God's Plan. Then we read in John 10: 18 where JESUS says this: "Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I la y it down of Myself. I. have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it
again. This commandment have I received of My Father." No question that Jesus had the power to lay His life down and He yielded to God's Will and Plan that He go to the cross and die for our sins; but He also had power to take His life back from the grave, from the power of hell. y It is also important to keep in mind that JESUS was accused falsel for according to God's Law there would have to be a minimum of two witnesses to a crime - the temple priests did

Bob A. January 132 006 te1p hone call/question. Reply b y Chuck-JOHNEL: (Cont'd.)
not have a double witness against JESUS for any crime so Jesus was executed not only under false charges, but wrongly - he was an innocent man, more, he was wholly without sin. Even in man's law system if a man is imprisoned unlawfully as he is innocent - then when his innocence is known he is released from prison - he is no longer bound nor can lie be. JESUS was much more than this, not only innocent but sinless. He willingly embraced the cross for our sake, taking onto Himself our sins and paid the price of our sins and that price was "death", not eternal damnation. Luke 24: 7 reads: (An Angel at Jesus' empty tomb said,) "He is not here, but is risen; remember how He spake unto you when He was yet in Galilee, Saying, "The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again." Function: Why did JESUS go to hell for three days/nights? Remember that until Jesus paid the price for the sin of all mankind (which He did on the cross) any of those who were righteous before God still ended up in hell. JESUS' story of Lazarus (see Luke chapter 16: 20-24) made it plain that hell was divided into two parts, one for the righteous before God and one side for the unrighteous. All ended up there because of the original sin of Adam and Eve committed in the garden of Eden. Purpose: JESUS went to hell for a purpose, to fulfill prophesy by being three days and nights in hell (Jonah 1:17,2: 1-10) and to preach the Good News to the captives (likely both the righteous and unrighteous) and as many as received Him, He took them out of hell when He left on the third day, taking "captive captivity" (Eph 4: 8) and bringing them to the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 27: 51-53 reads: "And, behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the tip to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rock rent. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose. And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many." Note that those saints
who rose from the dead did not stick around, but went onto the kingdom of Heaven. It is also well to remember that we can only come to the Father THROUGH Jesus Christ if He remained in hell eternally, then none of us would escape hell nor have any prospect of escaping the power of death. It is through JESUS CHRIST that we will rise again even as He did and because He did.
"I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE; NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME." (JESUS in John 14: 6)

(#2) Has anyone done a time line on New Orleans? I have been told that the dikes did not break until after the hurricane passed and that the hurricane did not hit New Orleans dead on but side swiped it. Was the dike break a demonic after-thought? (#3) My biggest impression while watching the young black Iooters was that I had just seen the future! Not pleasant! (#4) When I saw the picture of your new door I thought "wow" - we will not necessarily be living in grim/gray surroundings - Praise the Lord!" (Unquote) Reply by C-J: (#I) 1 can't think of any lessons - we have moved before and that is always a chore because of all the Ministry records we have to keep. The remodeling was something new to both of us, we prayed, looked at what needed to be done, what we wanted done, prayed some more and then made the appropriate decisions within the budget we had to work with, In fact, we had prayed about this home and move for some years and I discern that all that prayer (day by day) made it a smooth and somewhat easy transition. It had rough spots here and there but that is normal, nothing is perfect. (#2) The New Orleans dikes were weakened by the hurricane forces and collapsed not long after the storm passed by - not something that is all that unusual. A dam might be compromised but hold together fora time after which it will burst. The same was true here. Talk that Bush had the dikes blown is nothing short of crazy talk - the destruction in this region of America was massive, now estimated to be in excess of One $Trillion, much of which the U.S. government has to find some way to pay to repair/rebuild. (#3) The looting and violence seen in New Orleans was indicative of what the real judgment will be like. I'd seen "like-kind" of looting and killing going on in visions of the ruins of the Midwest after the Monster earthquake and flooding (to come in the future) from the pouring out of some of the Great Lakes. This event was definitely a "judgment" and more - it is now known to be one of the "early and faint" evidences of the coming Wrath of God as seen January 21, 2004. I

Mar y D. On October 5L2 005 (quote continued) free so it goes away. So if you want to
put confusion into the enemy's carnp (terrorists), you should bind "confusion to the enemy" not "loose confusion on the enemy". If you loose it, it is not there_ If you bind it to them, then it will stick to them and hinder them. PIease mention this in your newsletter
so those on the prayer list will bind confusion into the enemy's camp and cause them to fail miserably." (Unquote) Comment by Chuck-JOHNEL: In order for those relatives to not notice the judgments that have been coming down on this nation for the past twenty years- (progressively and
growing more intense with time) one would have to be either blind and deaf or willfully ignorant of what is going on. When people don't like what they hear it is a common and carnal reaction to dispute or reject it and to pay no attention to what is happening around them. I have spent considerable time from Newsletter to Newsletter detailing the judgments as they have unfolded and are surfacing - it is no longer a matter in dispute unless one wants to willfully ignore what God has said. This is what you are running into. Actually this kind of behavior is detailed in Ezekiel 12: 22-23, 28 which reads: "Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it...but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision... Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God."
Those that do this will be caught up in the fiery judgments and the Wrath of God and be consumed off the face of the earth. But you have fulfilled your duty as given in Ezekiel 3 18-21 — if they chose to reject the warning then at the least you have no blood guilt before God - it is on their heads not yours. Regarding the "bind and/or loose" issue: Perhaps you have a point but then when we write these prayers the impulse to make them perfect' is an impossibility. We bring our focus to the intent of our hearts with the view that God surely knows that and understands what we mean though our use of words may not be perfect. For my part "loosing trouble" on the enemy is like loosing the dogs on criminal intruders it gets the job done. Much, much more so, when we ask Father God to "loose trouble" on our enemies,wc know that He knows the intent of our hearts and responds accordingly.

Scott M. On(no dates (Quote) "Dear Chuck-JOHNEL, The vision that God gave me on
March 31, 2001 came to pass. I actually had three sequential open visions. This vision was the third of the series. I saw a timing for a judgment event and communicated this in a rough copy of a book that I gave to a well known minister. I didn't give the exact details of the vision but only the month and year (December 2004). He had enough information to act on however. I did tell the complete vision to my wife, my best friend, and a couple of others since the time I had the vision. They can verify that I told them in advance of what I saw. In the third vision, I saw two fireballs launched (like a flare gun) from the present time down a time line (left to right). My focus was brought to the first fireball. I saw it arch and then come down. It landed three years and eight months, but almost to the ninth month, yet still inside the eighth. It seemed that it would land in the ninth month, but fell short just inside the eighth month. On December 26, 2004, the earthquake and tsunami struck Indonesia and surrounding nations killing upwards of 300,000 people. Was I surprised? Not really. This was such a clear revelation that I couldn't imagine something not happening at that time. But the accuracy of the vision still amazes me. In retrospect, I can see that the reason that God was able to give me such a clear timing was because He knew that the leader whom I gave the message to would be uninterested in the message and would not assist me in getting the book published. But God did NOT give me the timing of the second fireball, which is coming next. I didn't see it land as the Lord drew my focus to the first fireball only (an event that wouldn't be prevented, though it was God's desire to do so). My best "guess" is that it is about three to five years from where the first fireball landed. Again, God hid the timing because there is probably a much better chance of stopping this one, now that the first one came to pass so precisely. Now Chuck, you've experienced this many times over. You give a warning, it goes unheeded, and as a result, people die. It seems that the leaders we are sent to wonder, "What does this guy WANT from me?" When all we really want is to do some good with the information God reveals to us, and nothing more. I don't need a position in another man's ministry because I already have one frankly. It is better than any "position" that a man can offer. But as you have said before, there is an authority conflict. People don't want to believe that you just might have more authority than they do, though you are unknown. Or they may see that you are not someone who goes along with the party line and this makes them nervous. This leader knows me. I even helped him move once. It is not like I am complete stranger. My wife, Noi Martin, got a word from an angel in February or March of 2000 that went like this: 1. The gas prices will continue to rise_ 2. Airline employees strike. 3. Martial law. This seems to be a timely word. God Bless." Comment b y Chuck-JOHNEL: I have seen more than once in my walk with Jesus that
the Lord will at first not only give a warning of a coming judgment event but also the ti ming. The Word is rejected and is ignored even after it comes to pass. That action of rejecting Christ blurs the timing on other revealed events because what is happening is that

LIVING GOD! His mercies are renewed with each sonrise! I would as to share with you some thoughts about these hurricanes. Some months ago I saw a cloud formation that looked as a huge wing and a huge vertical shaft or rod seen in the general direction of New Orleans to the west of my home in South Mississippi. Several days later I saw an almost identical formation. (See Job 33:14). This would have been at about the beginning of the hurricane season. Then last night about 9:00 PM 1 saw the crescent moon phase setting in the same general direction, towards New Orleans, it was blood red and flanked by the planets Mars and Venus. Listening to the reports from New Orleans I learned that it was also called the "Crescent City". Today we had MRE's to eat, they're not too bad, on the box printed the crescent moon again. Do you allow that this
could be the signature/ mark of a demon prince? Do we know his name? I have re-read your council letter #11 to President Bush and can see an opportunity for Al Qaeda to smuggle weapons up the Mississippi to Chicago even on a small outboard type boat. We have had reports on website "survivalcenter.com " that it was reported that traces of boron and nitrogen compounds where found on blackened concrete from the site of the breach of the levee, characteristic of sophisticated underwater explosives. The levee might have been blown up that day after Katrina was passing. One Pastor here on his radio program said Katrina meant cleansing. She sure cleaned out the casinos in Mississippi. To me the crescent moon is symbolic of the great falling awaythe Great Apostasy. Three religions claim Abraham as Father." The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened." Matt. 13:33. It is only a part of the apostasy, each lump has its own leaven. As
I write this letter Rita is on the way. I pray for GOD'S mercy. Please let me know if I have made any errors in understanding the Word of GOD." ( Unquote) Comment b y Chuck-JOHNEL: Months before August, 2005 we were tracking demon activity that led up to hurricane KATRINA and identified early on that the demon prince named Wormwood' was the power behind this storm which also directed it at New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in general. Since then, and as reported in the November 30, 2005 Newsletter ( "BEING THANKFUL FOR HIS REPRIEVE" ), we now know and understand that hurricane KATRINA was and is the first evidence of the coming Wrath of God.

makes this event `very serious' and most Christians (to say nothing of the unsaved) have no idea what this means. It means it is both a severe warning' as well as the first evidence of the coming Wrath of God unleashed on January 21, 2004. Consider this: Hurricane KATRINA devastated 90,000 square miles of the U.S., killed an estimated 1,300+ and destroyed well in excess of Si Trillion in property. New Orleans is still a "dead city" and it will take years to restore it. And this is only the very earliest, smallest evidence of the coming Wrath of God. When Thomas wrote this letter (September 21, 2005 )Hurricane RITA was drawing near and as we know, JESUS had us take The Staff and prophesy stopping that hurricane from devastating Texas - it was `limited' to being a serious trouble and prevented from bringing total destruction (the intent of the enemy of our souls). In this the enemy was "out of bounds" and reined in by the Spirit of God. A lie has speed, but truth has endurance. Edgar J. Mohn. Bob A.

When he was called to move his ministry from St. Louis, six people called him and said they had a dream or vision of an earthquake along the New Madrid fault line on the Mississippi River that ran to St. Louis. In a Sunday supplement to the St. Louis Post- dispatch, an article appeared entitled "Geologists Warn" warning that stress on the fault line was increasing and would probably have a quake that would leave a two mile deep river and 20 miles wide!!!

I' m starting to feel my age (now 64) since JESUS first gave me the vision of the monster earthquake to shatter the Midwest in July of 1973 along with the flooding of the Great

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL: The photo copy of the map (above) is what Rick provided with his letter. I have circled the earthquake in Idaho he is speaking of and marked an "x" for the general location of the city of Spokane, Washington. The "warning quake" will actually strike within the city Iimits of Spokane itself and will probably be in the range of a 4.0 to 4.2 Magnitude earthquake. According to JESUS' Word the Washington lottery will draw #285 BEFORE the earthquake itself strikes. The earthquake that struck Idaho was too small (3.1 Magnitude) and too far away from Spokane to be the wa rn ing. Basically, I believe that this ea rt hquake will strike Spokane sometime in early or late 2007 when the two year period of mercy expires. After Hurricane KATRINA, Hurricane RITA struck the general area of New Orleans and Texas and lastly hurricane WILMA struck Florida.

words the Lord gives you to share with the Body of Christ and sinners who will listen and obey. In your last prophetic Alert and Advisory, we didn't see any indication that Jesus was warning those who would listen to move out of New Orleans and the Gulf areas that were demolished by Hurricane Katrina. Did any of your fellow Prophets or Prophetess's receive warnings that New Orleans would be no more a city as it was before? My wife had two identical dreams of a tsunami of some sort striking the West Coast. Also a young man at work had a similar dream where he saw a huge wave coming over the mountains and striking the building he was in. Have any of the men or women of God also had dreams or visions lately about such an occurrence on our West Coast? If this is of God we need to warn those we know in San Francisco, the Sodom and Gomorrah of California, that judgment is coming to their city, so they need to get out before judgment conies upon that or another city as it did in New Orleans. Please keep us informed as to what Jesus and the Holy Spirit are speaking to you about our nation and what we can do to help awake those who will awake and get right with God." (Unquote) Reply v Chuck-JOHNEL: I do recall that JESUS' Prophet Pastor Daniel Bohler received
a Word about the coming destruction of New Orleans and that he warned that area. There are doubtless other prophets and brethren who have likewise received warnings about what hit New Orleans. The SPIRIT of GOD is quickening many in the body of Christ to know various details of the coming judgment but the response of the church in general is worse than it was twenty years ago. Less are even willing to hear what God is saying and reject any notion that they are under judgment or that judgment is going to fall on them. Keep in mind that even the U.S. Weather Service warned residents of New Orleans that this deadly Category 5 Storm was headed their way - and many refused to believe it would hit New Orleans and stayed - and many perished. If they reject God's Word they will reject everyone else as well. JESUS long ago shewed me a destruction coming on Los Angeles first and then following a time later San Francisco.

I was praying (or complaining) to Jesus- "Lord, I pray for people all the time, why doesn 't anyone ever pray for me! "- that sort of the "poor me" prayer. Well, just about the same time I was feeling sorry for myself a man and his family parked right next to me. As they all got out of their van I listened to him talking about the bugs on his windshield. He then saw me sitting reclined in my car and apologized for waking me up. I told him that he didn't wake me up, that I had pulled over to rest because I was dizzy and would be leaving in a few minutes. Well, he came over to my car and said, "I afar a preacher, do you mind if I pray for you?" Well he did and I felt better and was so astonished at the rapid reply to my prayer that I'm sure I was babbling to him about my prayer and the results, the poor man probably thought that he needed to pray for my sanity too. Well, he said that he was from Georgia and that the Lord had sent him on a trip to pray and work with the hurricane evacuees and they chose this motel to stop for the day. The Holy Spirit told me to seal him! I briefly explained about "hard times" coming to America and asked him if he minded if I sealed hire to the Kingdom of God so him and his family would get through this time, he mumbled "okay" and I explained to him how to anoint and seal his family and he slowly walked away and I drove on.

Before I share it I'd like to tell you what happened at prayer from three to four P.M. Saturday, July 9, 2005. At that time, without words God have me a knowing on what that incredible `gift' given June 20, 2005 does. He made it clear to me that this gift' touches people world wide and beyond. Wherever my physical presence is, God's power is manifested. He's using me very powerfully. This `gift' is for others, not for me personally. On a daily basis our Lord reminds me of this gift. Chuck, Nancy- it is so awesome! The Lord Jesus and Father and Holy Spirit are my constant companions. We converse night and day. I asked the Father to help me because I do not feel worthy of such a great and incredible gift because I am such a sinner. He said that was correct and that it was His choice to give this to me. On September 4" I received another wonderful spiritual gift. On October 3 rd while I was out with the children in the recess yard, I was blessed with another spiritual gift. At this time, Chuck, Nancy, I am hoping you will have some insight as to the Saturday, October 8"', 2005 experience. I was wide awake and before my eyes I saw a map of the entire world.

(An angel so to speak). As I continued to watch everything became white, soft, and beautiful and it seemed a sense of quiet and peace pervaded the entire firmament.

usually vested in the one who receives it - it is best you pray and seek JESUS for HOLY SPIRIT insight and then remain yielded and open to what He will shew you.
On my part - the June 20, 2005 revelation speaks of the scope of your intercessory role not for a city or state or country but for the whole world. This kind of calling can only be undertaken as one moves `In The Spirit' and by the Spirit of God through JESUS CHRIST something you began learning about with the Net of Prayer starting in 1981. The two lambs speaks to me of the two witnesses in the book of Revelation (Chapter 11: 3). The boy who then has wings speaks to me of the man child revealed in Revelation chapter 12: 5 - the "wings" speaks to me of Revelation 12: 14 where the "woman who bore
the man child" was given "wings of a great eagle." Beyond seeing this just what it all means is something the Lord will shew you in His time simply pray to be open to Him revealing that. The same fence that shuts others out shuts you in. Bill Copeland. Ro y and Faith M. On October 29 2005 (Quote) "Dear Chuck and Nancy, We were missionaries in the Philippine Islands in the 50's - $0's and our students at the Bible School
had many visions of this same thing you have been seeing. They knew nothing of the U.N. in New York and they saw the earthquake that destroyed the city and the high buildings. So we are not surprised by your visions and prophesies of the eminent destruction of much of the United States for her sin against the unborn. We also had the "vision of General" (President George Washington) detailing three great wars for our U.S.A. In the last war, if God had not sent the angels to help, our country would have been completely destroyed. We weep, as you all do, over the condition of our "Sleeping Churches" that do not want to be awakened, lest God require them "to do something"! Oh God help us. We were led to this place as one of the "safe places" for God's people. But as you said, the only safe place is knowing your place in Christ. Will try to send monthly as God supplies us for the Prophet is worthy." (Unquote)

Roy and Faith M On October 29, 2005- Comment b y Chuck-JOHNEL: First I want to thank you for sharing and especially for your work in the Lord preaching the Gospel to the unsaved in foreign lands. Over the years, even in the early years of this Ministry work in Christ, I've had brothers and sisters in Christ make the comment (after hearing the judgment message) "Oh, I've heard that before! " What struck me then as now was/is the complacency in so many brethren about God's Word. Another oddity is that the closer the judgment gets the greater the indifference or rejection of God's Word at work in the same brethren. Amen! Everything starts as somebody 's daydream. Larry Niven. Alise L. On (no d te) (Quote) "Dear Mr. And Mrs. Youngbrandt, I am in the process of
listening to the tape you made... on being a friend or servant of Jesus, for the third time. I just wanted to thank you for making that tape. Jesus is definitely leading me into a friendtype relationship, but it has taken me a long time to understand even the basic concept that I am acceptable to God, in Christ, without having to do anything. God and I have been talking regularly about the difference between being with God verses doing for Him. And I have been learning that by crucifying the flesh/being more Christ-like, that the doing (really loving others) naturally flows from that abiding in Christ. Nevertheless, I will continue to review this tape because there are all sorts of good things being revealed to me. The discussion on taking Christ's yoke upon us, for example, was very helpful. I have never heard that explained so well before." (Unquote) "A hungry little boy was beginning to eat his dinner when his father reminded him that they hadn 't prayed.

Letter roan Teresa R. Of November 320O5 (Quote) "Dear Servants of Our Lord, Thank you both for your obedience to the Lord! I just wanted to ask a question. It has been said that Lubbock (Texas) would be a city of refuge in the last days. They are building houses and apartments like crazy. Have you heard anything about this? Also I sympathize with you in having shingles. I am a nurse and have seen many suffer with them. If you are interested in a natural remedy, you can go to www.abchomeopathv.com . You can list your symptoms and they will tell you what would work. May our precious Lord Jesus bless, heal, protect and continue to inform you!" (Unquote) Repl y by Chuck-JOHNEL: No, we have not heard about Lubbock, Texas being a city of refuge - this must be a revelation given to someone else. Beyond the five areas where "God will save many alive", as revealed in 1977, we have little insight into specific areas outside of those places. Our focus remains on encouraging and leading brethren to come to know Jesus and to trust Him to keep them safe and/or lead them to places of safety as He wills.

Reply b y Chuck-JOHNEL continued : Thank you for the website on a natural remedy for shingles. A sister in Christ dropped us a note about how her husband, who had a nasty case of shingles, found an effective remedy in taking amino acid which we found locally under the package name "L-Lysine". Other remedies suggested by Adele-SARAH Sydor, who is a fine herbologist, helped significantly in reducing the itching aftermath of shingles; but the L-Lysine really finished the job. There is only a minor residue of the shingles now Praise the Lord! Priest: Rabbi, when are you going to break down and eat ham?
Rabbi: At your wedding, Father. Roy W. On (no date ( Quote) "Hi Chuck and Nancy-TONI, a friend wants to know what counties are a safe zone in NW Arkansas?" (Unquote) Repl y by C-,1: When GOD THE FATHER circled with His finger these five areas (including central Arkansas) on March 3, 1977 saying, "I SHALL SAVE MANY ALIVE HERE." the revelation was general - I could identify the states but as for the exact counties - I don't know. We would learn in later years that northern Washington State (one of the five area FATHER circled) did not include western Washington or that area west of the mountains which divide Washington State into two parts. GOD THE FATHER'S Finger swept like a broad brush - and today (seeing I had a poor grasp of the west coast areas in those days) I sometimes believe that this area of Northern Washington State may include western portions of Idaho (to the east) and Canada (to the north). Such specifics seem pointless - if one is truly seeking Jesus' leading and direction in where to live in these days, it is much better that one pray to be led of by the Spirit of God to wheresoever He wants. It is the focus on CHRIST JESUS, trusting Him, and yielding to His Will that is the heart and key to being prepared, which is only found in and out of concerted daily prayer asking for that preparation. Being ignorant is not such a shame, as being unwilling to learn. David R. On (no date ( Quote) "Dear Nancy-TONI, Around 2003 when America was about
to attack Iraq, I asked a prophet in our congregation about Iraq using atomic bombs against America. Suddenly he had a vision of an enemy placing atomic bombs under water off Miami, Florida and setting off the bombs. These bombs caused a tidal wave to sweep across
South Florida. Several prophets have prophesied the destruction of Florida below a line South of Orlando Florida. Could the action of mankind be the cause of this destruction of Southern Florida?" (Unquote) Reply bye Chuck-JOHNEL: What I can tell you is that in the very detailed vision of 1977

Rejlv b uck- NEL (continued): JESUS shewed me southern Florida (roughly south of Orlando, Florida) on a bright sunny day suddenly sinking into the sea. The water slowly and irresistibly rose up and swallowed the land and there was no apparent trauma preceding that. However, I have speculated that an all out nuclear attack on the U.S. might produce a seismic shock to the continent that would cause this - but it is, on my part, a speculation. I don't know the exact cause except to know that it is judgment. However, to answer your question - the action of mankind could be the source of this sinking (though unlikely). I might add that back in 1982 JESUS shewed me a vision of the underpinnings of Florida and I noted that much of the southern portion of the state stood on a land mass that cavernous - empty or filled with sea water which had apparently eaten away much of the stone. I was also shown an Angel of God holding the state up from beneath, preventing it from breaking away and sinking. As I recall this vision of 1982 it seems more likely that when GOD removes His Hand from America, that Angel will leave and the state will sink shortly thereafter. He who knows the road can ride at full trot. Italian proverb.
(31) Russ P. On (no date) ( Quote) "Dear Bro. and Sis., I am somewhat confused. Way back when, we were told not to move before the 30 day period, after the mid-West earthquake, because angels will lead us to the five safe areas. But now you are saying we may be called to move within the next two years. God bless your ministry, and supply all your needs." (Unquote)
Repl y b y Chuck-JOHNEL: Actually the revelation of April 31, 1977 was this (Quote Page 224 of The Staff and The Sword book) "...The massive midwest earthquake happens at this time.. .Thirty days after the midwestern United States earthquake, the Lord sends His angels to warn His children to flee - and 7 days later, Russia and China press the buttons launching a full thermonuclear attack on the United States." (Unquote)
Angels will only tell God's people to flee the areas to be nuked or irradiated by fall-out who have not left already. Those who have long since heeded His Word, prayed and relocated (ifthey needed to) won't need this warning. JESUS did tell me that those who wait past the 2 year period ofinercy (ending April-September, 2007) to be prepared will only escape with the shirts on their backs - they will lose everything else. No where or at any time did Jesus tell me that His Angels will lead His people to one of the five safe areas or as we like to say, "Places where God will keep many alive." Clothes don 't make a man, but the can break a husband.

Dale-WIILLIAM S. On October 30, 2005 (Quote) "Hello Chuck-JOHNEL and NancyTONI, I have always seemed to have a heart for prophecy and for looking for His return. But there has never been a ministry that I have been able to be a part of that looks to Him, and operates in the capacity that the Net of Prayer does. When I first saw your tape (prophecy club) and then heard your tapes of how you moved in the Spirit and how you did battle with the enemy, I believed, and wanted to be a part of what the Lord was doing through you. Some do not believe this and others do not understand as I did not before becoming a part of this ministry. Many do not believe nor want to hear what is coming as if it would not be so if they would not listen. But I share with those that will listen and prepare as He leads looking to my Lord and Savior. Sometimes seeing what is coming by what you have shared and what He reveals to me in my abiding time, seeing God's hand in this ministry. I trust in Him to lead me as a Captain in His army. Thanks for your time, something that I believe is most precious since there seems to not be near enough of it and your commitment to His calling. Through you He has shown me areas where I was misled in my beliefs and understanding which is both humbling and helps you to open up more to Him, realizing how much we need Him to go through the days to come. How the Lord uses you and the insights He reveals to you only confirms more your closeness to Him, the truth, and the real mercy He longs to extend to His people, if they would only hear and believe. But I am truly thankful that the Lord has allowed me to be a part of this ministry and the gathering of His people. The Lord has also called me by my surname (below) which brings up a question I would like to ask. In knowing this did you change your name to this in all aspects of your life? In my case it would include a lot of areas including my job, my bank, insurance, home, and so on." Dale-WILLIAM, (Unquote) Chuck-JOHNELS' Reply: When JESUS gave me the name "JOHNEL" in January of 1982 I shared that with those on the mailing list at the time and from that time signed my name: "Chuck-JOHNEL." I saw no need or point in making it a legal name - and understand that in time, that one day, I will be known simply as "JOHNEL." In fact, many call me by the name "JOHNEL" at this time. Thank you for sharing. He that is the greatest among you shall he your servant. JESUS in Matthew 23:11. Sarah on October 28. 2005 ( Quote) "Hello Chuck-JOHNEL and Nancy-TONI, First of
all, I would like to thank you again for your ministry. I am in the NOP and I have to tell you that during this last round of strategic prayer, "I Will Deliver Thee" the Lord has blessed me with a peace regarding the days ahead. I used to feel a great deal of fear but praise God..... He has delivered me. I'm sure there will be fearful days ahead but I can now rest in the assurance that He is protecting those who are truly His and will continue to do so. I

Sarah on October 28, 2005 (Quote continued) have an important concern regarding the children of believers during this time. Do you think we should be telling our children about the troubles that are ahead? I am a teacher so I realize that they need to be spoken to in a way that they can understand.... but do you think we should be working to prepare our children spiritually and emotionally as we are preparing ourselves? (Through Jesus) I have four sons and I have been telling them that there will be troubled times ahead because of man's sinful and disobedient nature. 1 also tell them that God will take care of His children when they put their full trust in Him. My husband is supportive. However, I've been criticized by other family and friends for saying "scary" things. I think it will be more scary to wake up one day to learn that another city has fallen or that a war has begun and not have any clue as to why these things are happening! I've considered writing a few articles to help Christians prepare their children for the times ahead, but who would publish them and would anyone want to hear the truth?" Repl y b y Chuck-J0HNEL: I have had this question raised to me recently and believe that children "need" to be prepared for what is coming short of terrifying them. Children are a lot stronger than most people give them credit for and adaptable (more than adults); but I agree that it needs to be done in a way that both educates, informs and prepares them without the `fear impulse' being stirred. I would be interested in reading such articles that you might write on this subject and would be willing, as Jesus leads me, to publish them in this Newsletter and offer them as "reports". So drop me a line and share some of what you might write on this subject. God bless. We have a choice: to plow new ground or let the weeds grow. Attributed to Jonathan Westover, afictitious person.

(Unquote) told me that when the book (JESUS, HIS ANGEL Repl y b y Chuck-JOHNEL: AND ME) is published (something He said He would arrange) that we would have ONE YEAR to find the needed 1,000 intercessors telling me that it would appear in the skies not long after that year expired. But we don't know when the book will be published as JESUS has not moved on that at this time. However, there is a large broken asteroid heading our way that will hit the earth like a shotgun blast and cause widespread damage from Europe across the Atlantic and across the U.S. and out west (how far we don't know). That will likely come in the period from 2007 to 2009. This alone will be very traumatic and deadly but nothing compared to the TINY STAR.

This offended me since I did not believe this and also because he was so quick to judge without checking with God's Spirit (this takes time). Well, about 4 years later I went to the Prophecy Club meeting in Laurel, MD with the guest speaker, a Prophet named Tom Deckard, on Sept. l 2 1 '' of this year and Jimmy came also. Tom's message was just like yours with some more details in some areas (very impressive). I later got prayer from Torn Deckard and shared with Tom about the Staff and Sword ministry and y ou .

1977 nor will I unless JESUS sends me to see him. He was just about 24 years old when we anointed him which makes him around 53 years of age today. I remember seeing a vision of him BEFORE we anointed him in 1977 and he looked like a much older man, balding but still vital and strong. When I met him he was a very young man and I realized that he would fulfill God's Purposes much later in life.
