B : Chuck-JOHNEL Michael F. (no mate) (Quote) "I am currently writing book 3 in my series on Bible

Prophecy. This book will be on America and its destruction.

1 want to include a few modern visions, but I am having a problem with what appears to me to be a conflict. There are several prophecies that say Chicago will be destroyed by a nuclear attack at the time that Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, and other cities are also nuked.

Now, if the earthquake and mass of water hit before this, what would be the point in nuking it?

Yet, your visions see a fully intact city, not nuked, so the water must hit before the nuclear attacks.

Can you see [the] problem here? Do you have any thoughts on this conflict?

If I cannot resolve the conflict, I will have to conclude that some people are not hearing from God." (Unquote) Response b y Chuck-JOHNEL: I know of at least two Prophets of JESUS who have

seen the same earthquake and destruciton of Chicago and the Midwest as the Lord spewed me in 1973. In the vision given me in 19731 saw a huge airliner coming into

Chicago on the glide path to landing when the massive wall of water appeared and began pulverizing the city and area (that wall of water was at least 15 stories high).

The pilot of that massive aircraft poured on the gas, I saw black smoke come from its engines as it climbed skyward. What got my attention was that this aircraft had two levels of windows for passengers, it looked like a flying apartment building.

There was nothing like it anywhere at that time (1973). However, the aircraft I saw in 1973 came into Chicago and landed March 21, 2007, some 34 years after JESUS spewed me that airplane flying over Chicago during the destruction (earthquake and

Response b Chuck JOHNEL continued : tidal wave). In that vision/revelation of 1973 I noted that following a period where supplies were airlifted to survivors in the area, that suddenly they stopped and the weather got still, hot and oppressive. I knew then by the Spirit of God that some 30 days+ after this monster earthquake and destruction of the Midwest that Russia and China attacked the U.S. - a full blown nuclear world war.

I've also been shewn that terrorists (Islamic murderers) will attempt to bring a nuclear bomb into Chicago but will fail to hit their target directly, though they will set off the bomb near the city. This is what JESUS told inc on November 1 D, 1979: "...DO NOT EXPECT QUAKE IN HAWAII - KNOW. BEWARE OF RUSSIA, THIS ENEMY IS BEHIND MOST ALL WORLD TROUBLE. KNOW THAT WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS CERTAIN, EXPECT A NUCLEAR DISASTER IN THIS NATION, NEAR CHICAGO...EARTHQUAKES WILL SEEM QUIET NOW BUT IN A MOMENT DISTRESS WILL SEIZE MULTITUDES SUDDENLY.. CUBA SHALL BE THE INSTRUMENT TO INITIATE THE WAR COMING. IRAN IS A DEADLY ENEMY OF THIS NATION BECAUSE OF THEIR DOCTRINE." (This Word was published in "The Slain ", printed in 1979)

Again, I would point out that there was NO Russia in 1979, it was only one offrfteen Republics that made up the Soviet Union.

This Ministry in Christ was directly involved in the destruction of the Soviet Union.

Under JESUS' direction and HOLY SPIRIT leading we steadily tore apart the spiritual foundations of the Soviet Union for seven years in warfare `In The Spirit' (The Net ofPrayer,. In July of] 989 we finished the work, tore down the Berlin Wall `In The Spirit' (it was first done years earlier `In The Spirit 9 and once doubled and set, that wall fell `In This World' four months later, November, 1989. After that the Soviet Union fell apart, its foundations gone, it collapsed.

Although JESUS shewed me the nuclear attack on the U.S. by Russia and China in 1977, it was a very general vision. I understood that most of the targets hit were military installations, missile silos and air bases alongwith cities connected to them.

I did NOT see Chicago nuked in that nuclear war, it would not exist. That is all I can

tell you.

Page 3 The Staff & Sword Ministry/WE GET LETTERS March 21, 2015 Res once h Chuck-JOHNEL continued : As to your resolving "the conflict", I'd not be quick in judging others as "not hearing from God. " They may well have heard from Him, but may also have "added to His Word, something inexperienced prophets are inclined to do. For example, in one vision many years ago I did see New York City a pile of rubble and bones, void of life. It had been nuked by a fairly large nuclear device (ICBM likely). So I could

say `yes ", New York will be nuked during the nuclear world war. As to others I do not know, L.A., Las Vegas? Maybe, 1 do not know, JESUS has not shewn me that.

In the early years of this Prophetic Ministry I was inclined to fill in the "blanks" when JESUS gave me a partial revelation. I learned,, not to do that. If He does shew me something I do not assume to fill in the blanks. Now I can speculate, but speculation is not revelation. Something you learn with years and experience. That is all I have to say in response to your question. God bless. Chuck-JOHNEL.

Nancy, thanks for your hard work on "Manifesting Christ," especially your last article on "Jesus is the Key". [It] is so well written and useful that I keep asking our Lord to bless you both and your ministry abundantly, and heal you, Chuck! ....

Nancy R on February d, 2015. (Quote) "Hello Nancy-TONI! Thank you and

Chuck-JOHNEL for your faithfulness. I can't begin to express what S&S Ministry (you all) has meant to me over the years: Growth in understanding God's ways and purposes, development of daily time (increasingly) with our precious Lord, renewal and healing in my "inner man". LIFE !

God does provide when we hunger after Him, and thankfully He gives us the hunger—if only we'll receive and act on it.

All my love to you both, and prayers for all who work alongside you."

(Unquote) Co,nment by Chuck-JOHNEL : At the start of this Ministry (1969), 1 had a desire to become an Evangelist, bringing people to the saving knowledge of JESTS CHRIST was that desire. However, JESUS plainly told me that He set me aside to work to build His Body, to do a work among His people and that I was His prophet. I was

also sent into this world to lay foundation stones for JESUS' Return, a work to be done more `In The Spirit' than in this world - a work we have been doing all along.

So it is encouraging and delightful to receive letters like yours , Nancy R., as it tells us we are doing the other work as well. Thank you for sharing.

Roy W. on no date (Quote) "Hi to you'll. I have a question I would like to know.

While Israel was in the desert they complained about having no meat, while they brought their livestock with them out ofEgypt, and were not sacrificing animals yet."

(Unquote) JOHNEL's Reply : In Exodus 16 we see the "murmurings " of Israel. Obviously they were on short rations but they were blaming the Lord, complaining. Their reference to Egypt tells me they had their favorite meats and plenty of bread and ate to their fill. In this journey they were not so well fed although they did have cattle. In Exodus

Page 5 The Staff & Sword Ministry/WE GET LETTERS March 21, 2015

JOHNEL's Replyfontinu41 29 we read of the instructions to sacrifice a lamb each morning and evening, day by day. So they had plenty of cattle.

Now the Lord in His compassion, mercy and "patience" had quails cover the camp (meat aplenty) and of course, the "manna".

It occurs to me that the children of Israel could have gone to Moses and asked him to seek the Lord for more food, not complaining but petitioning the Lord for help.

Rather, they murmured/complained against God. Even so, He helped them.

Lavonia P. on Februa 19 2015. (Quote) "....The prayer captain of my group, Evelyn-PAIGE (Flaming Fire Group) called, and asked me if I had received any revelation as to what was happening, and I said "no". The only thing that I kept seeing were horrible looking demons by the thousands trying to cross the border at the Rio Grande river, and they couldn't get across. They were stacking up upon themselves, pounding on an invisible wall with their fists and growling and snarling—they were horrible looking creatures, sort of pig-like with large tusks protruding from their mouths. Some were very large, some not so large. They all had on rags for clothing. Thousands and thousands of them. I still see them at the border, but every now and then, they all take a rest period and talk amongst themselves, and then they will start pounding and hitting the invisible wall again. I also see drug people with machine guns (I guess that's what the guns are), trying to get in, but they mostly hang back and let the demons do the pounding on the invisible wall.

Texas has a real drug problem anyways, and at first I thought I just might be

into my thoughts, until I read the Prayer Campaign results. I know now that I wasn't imagining and they are still there, but they can't get in. (Woo Hoe for Jesus). I'm so happy to be standing in the background on my side of the border with my sword and spear in hand, ready to do battle, because I don't want to ride on a horse (LOL, it's true). Not all of us are leaders, some of us are just happy doers.

Our Flaming Fire Group Prayer Captain, Evelyn-PAIGE, is very faithful in keeping our group informed of any prayer needs in our group, and I am thankful for her faithfulness. ...I have just recently finished reading the book "The Harbinger", and it sure put a new light on how and why America is being judged. But hey, I know who my Lord and Savior is, and His name is Jesus and "He Wins". " (Unquote) (Daffy Definitions) BUDGET: A schedule for going into debt systematically.

Marvin B. on (no date (Quote) "Question #1: According to certain scriptures, the

Holy Spirit is the "comforter" left for us by Jesus, and is a "person". A Guardian "Angel" is our protector. Do both guard us? Do both place words in our mind? #2: Do they have dual purposes and have parallel function? #3: Do those of us in the Net of Prayer that pray "in the spirit", have more effectiveness than those who do not? How does one develop "in the spirit" prayers of clarity, and have more destructive force on demons?" (Unquote) p

Chuck-JOHNEL: Now that is a boatload of questions. I will work to be succinct. Your guardian angel guards you. The HOLYSPIRIT is GOD. (Remember: Father, Son and Holy Spirit).

Angels do speak to us but only if we are prayerfully in tune with the Lord can we hear them, otherwise their words come across as "thoughts ". Problem is, the enemy of our souls can also speak to us, giving us "thoughts "as well. fits helpful to be

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL (continued}_ praying to discern whatever you receive to know if it is the Lord or not.

The Lord's Angels serve Him (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) so I suppose you can say they have a "dual purpose."

Praying `In The Spirit' is very effective because it works at the foundation of the troubles in this world and introduces help and answers that also surface in this world. Example. Years ago Isaw a demon prince standing under an arch, gathering people in a cattle pen, who then took a bunch ofpeople in its huge clawed hand and crushed them to death. It spilled blood from its victims into a cup and drank it, got drunk of human blood. A few days later a man walked into a Mc Donald's Restaurant (the cattle pen and arch) and began shooting men, women and children, killing 40, wounding many others before he took his own life. Then there were other "copycat" murders surfacing across the U.S. So we moved `In The Spirit' caught this demon prince and destroyed it out of this world. The killings stopped. lfyoujoin the Net ofPrayer, you get a prayer- sheet that enables you to move `In The Spirit' through prayer. God bless. Chuck-JOHNEL. (Daffy Definitions) FURTHERMORE: It is much farther than "further."

Bryan H on January 22. 2415. (Quote) "I was in tears ofjoy reading the Operation Clean Sweep reports. I could not contain the love in my heart for Jesus, all of the saints and the Net of Prayer. I was a participating warrior in the operation.

I was going to type all of my notes but decided just to copy them. I did receive a word from the LORD on day-four, that I am writing out for you. It was after the operation for that day was over and during abiding time. I had just read Nancy Toni's article on schisms. `ALL OF MY CHILDREN HAVE ONE ON ONE TIME WITH ME. EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO ME, MY THRONE, IN A SPECIAL PLACE AND TIME. TIME IS UNLIMITED IN MY PLACE, NO RESTRICTIONS. YOU ARE ABLE TO WORSHIP, ASK QUESTIONS, FELLOWSHIP, LISTEN AND LEARN OF ME.

Testimon y about the Seal of the Living God. 2015 letter from Teri V. (Quote) "Dear Friends in Christ, Hello! You know, I'd like to tell you about our friend Mr. Don Taylor. He's 89 years young and has become an extended part of our family in the past three years or so. He was a regular customer at the Chewelah Safeway, where Jeff works. We bought a sheep from him, and the rest is history, I guess. Our connection started with getting discounted wool and books from his late wife's fiber business, considering the fact that I'd become an avid hand spinner and knitter. But over time, our relationship with Mr. Taylor turned into much more than business. We have really grown to love and care for him.

A recent emergency hospitalization had Mr. Taylor diagnosed with "afib", a congestive heart problem associated with chronic edema and severe shortness of breath. A physical therapist visits him on a regular basis now too, and Don had to be hooked up to the tubes virtually 24-hours a day, or he wouldn't be able to breathe.

Once he was settled into a routine and let us know he was ready, we brought dinner over and hung out with him for an evening, something we used to do more frequently. While I was cleaning up in the kitchen after our meal, this thought

Testimony about the Seal of the Livin.g GodjContinued) occurred to me, "You've received the commission to extend the Seal of the Living God to others. Seal him. "I sighed. How would I explain the sealing to a man like Mr. Taylor? He was open to prayer and all, but he came from a Roman Catholic and Episcopalian background—and he was very reserved when it came to spiritual matters.

Besides, he's already 89 years old. I loved him, and didn't want him to go before his ti me, but did Jesus really want me (or Jeff) to seal Mr. Taylor, at 89 years of age? ... Mostly, I just have come to expect rejection when it comes to sharing the deeper things of God with others—and I dreaded this kind of rejection from someone I had grown to love so much. So that night, our family laid hands on Mr. Taylor and prayed

from him, but we didn't seal him. ..yet.

After we got home, I had a dream about Mr. Taylor that his life was under serious threat, and later mentioned to Jeff the notion I sensed from the Holy Spirit about sealing him. I began to feel an urgency inside, to get Mr. Taylor sealed as soon as possible, not only that his days be prolonged, but that he might enter into an intimacy with Jesus before it was too late. This, I believe, was the L0RD's reason for prompting the seal so late_in_his life. Jeff normally stops over on his lunch break a couple times a week at Mr. Taylor's. They share a sandwich together, and if there's anything else that Jeff can help with while he's there, he does it. The next time Jeff went there for his lunch break, he had a small mason jar with a little bit of olive oil in it that we had prayed over, which Jeff had brought with him in order that he might seal Mr. Taylor. But Jeff forgot about the whole deal! The next couple of times he was there on lunch break, at the precise moment Jeff was ready to present the sealing, the neighbor lady pulled up in the driveway. The next couple of visits found Jeff forgetting again. By this time, I was getting kind of frustrated with Jeff, (poor Jeff)....so I prayed to just totally release the things to the LORD. "If he has a heart

thatsighs and cries outfor the abominations being committed in the land, then Jesus, would You just seal him?" I pleaded. My heart felt like a deflated balloon. Mr. Taylor was probably not going to live much longer, and I didn't want to think about it. The neighbor lady had rushed him to an emergency doctor visit again. Even with the use of the oxygen, Don was still struggling to breathe. Edema was making his

heart work even harder, and Jeff was told by the very concerned neighbor lady that "Death was knocking at his (Mr. Taylor's) door". However, the next time Jeff went there on his lunch, although I had given up all hope that Jeff would actually seal him (Jeff had never actually sealed anyone like this before!), the Holy Ghost reminded Jeff of the oil in the mason jar sitting on the seat in his truck, still waiting to be used for a specific purpose. That afternoon, Jeff asked Don if he'd mind if he prayed over

Testimony about the Seal of the Living God (Continued) him before he left to go back to work. He mentioned anointing him with a little oil in his forehead, and Mr. Taylor responded by saying, "Oh, I don't know about that..."

Jeff told him, "Hey, all it is- is a little olive oil in the form of a cross in our forehead accompanied by some prayer. What have you got to lose?" So Mr. Taylor sighed and said, "Well okay, sure. Go ahead." Jeff said he distinctly felt the Presence and anointing of Jesus when he prayed that day and sealed Mr. Taylor. When he came home and told me about it, I was elated.

Within a week of being sealed, Mr. Taylor was off his oxygen during the day.

He still uses it at night窶馬ot because he feels he needs it, but because of the doctor's orders. His blood pressure has also returned to normal. The neighbor lady said it's nothing short of a miracle how he's all of a sudden made this amazing recovery.

What's more is although Mr. Taylor comes from a long line of masons, I perceive that his heart is softening and opening up now to Jesus and the Word of God in a more intimate way. Praise God! The Seal of the Living God has not expired! Jesus is still preparing hearts for His return! And it's never too late to come to Jesus and receive His touch! "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." (John 6:37) P.S. By the way Chuck, the last time we saw you at Stephanis, it seemed to me that a deep healing of some sort had happened within you. A gentle Light, compassion and softness in your countenance that I'd only remembered brief glimpses of seeing in the past was clearly evident to me when I saw you, and it made me smile from deep down inside. Jesus is our Healer, Amen! Praise His Holy Name!"

(Unquote Terry V.)

Comment b y Chuck-JOHNEL : Over the years we continue to hear such stories, miracles more often than not, of brethren whose lives were spared when they were Sealed. I remember one prophet who lived in Tennessee (as I recall), that had a serious infection in his foot. It turned out to be gangrene and it had to be amputated Worse, the doctors gave him less than a day to live as the infection had spread throughout his body. A brother (who later told me of this account) visited him and offered to Seal him with the Seal of the Living God. Previously he rejected it but now he said, "Oh, why not!" He was Sealed and by the next day he was fully recovered, the infection disappeared and he would be released from the hospital. He commented, "I guess the Lord is not done with me yet."
