Bob A. January 13, 2006 telephone cal/question (Quote) "Why didn't Jesus stay deadin hell eternally?"

Repl y by Chuck-JOHNEL: There are so many ways this question can be answered, butlet me start with a prophetic pattern, a revelation of what Jesus would do via the prophetJonah. Jonah, as you know, was swallowed by a great fish and Jonah was in the belly ofthe fish three days and three nights (Jonah 1: 17). It reads in Jonah 2: 1-10 that from thebelIy of the great fish he prayed unto the Lord and He (the Lord) heard him out of the bellyof hell. Jonah said, "f am cast out of Thy sight; yet i will look again toward Thy holytemple"...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. Hehad power to give life even to the dead and He did so with Jonah which was also aprophetic 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 woulddie, go into hell, and after three days rise up by the power ofthe Lord God. This experienceof Jonah was revelation of God's Plan.

Then we read in John 10: 18 where JESUS says this: "Therefore doth My Father loveMe, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me,

but I lay 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 Willand Plan that He go to the cross and die for our sins; but He also had power to take His lifeback from the grave, from the power of hell.

It is also important to keep in mind that JESUS was accused falsely for according to God'sLaw 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 by Chuck-JOHNEL: (Cont'd.)not have a double witness against JESUS for any crime so Jesus was executed not onlyunder false charges, but wrongly - he was an innocent man, more, he was wholly withoutsin. Even in man's law system if a man is imprisoned unlawfully as he is innocent - thenwhen his innocence is known he is released from prison - he is no longer bound nor canlie be. JESUS was much more than this, not only innocent but sinless. He willinglyembraced the cross for our sake, taking onto Himself our sins and paid the price of our sinsand 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 manmust be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third dayrise again."

Function: Why did JESUS go to hell for three days/nights? Remember that until Jesuspaid the price for the sin of all mankind (which He did on the cross) any of those who wererighteous 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 Godand one side for the unrighteous. All ended up there because of the original sin of Adamand Eve committed in the garden of Eden.

Purpose: JESUS went to hell for a purpose, to fulfill prophesy by being three days andnights in hell (Jonah 1:17,2: 1-10) and to preach the Good News to the captives (likelyboth the righteous and unrighteous) and as many as received Him, He took them out of hellwhen He left on the third day, taking "captive captivity" (Eph 4: 8) and bringing them tothe Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 27: 51-53 reads: "And, behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the tipto 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 Hisresurrection, 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 prospectof escaping the power of death. It is through JESUS CHRIST that we will rise again evenas He did and because He did.

"I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE; NO MANCOMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME."

(JESUS in John 14: 6)

(#2) Has anyone done a time line on New Orleans? Ihave been told that the dikes did not break until after the hurricane passed and that thehurricane did not hit New Orleans dead on but side swiped it. Was the dike break ademonic after-thought? (#3) My biggest impression while watching the young blackIooters was that I had just seen the future! Not pleasant! (#4) When I saw the picture ofyour new door I thought "wow" - we will not necessarily be living in grim/graysurroundings - Praise the Lord!" (Unquote)

Reply by C-J: (#I) 1 can't think of any lessons - we have moved before and that isalways a chore because of all the Ministry records we have to keep. The remodeling wassomething new to both of us, we prayed, looked at what needed to be done, what wewanted done, prayed some more and then made the appropriate decisions within the budgetwe had to work with, In fact, we had prayed about this home and move for some years andI 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 longafter the storm passed by - not something that is all that unusual. A dam might becompromised 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 thisregion of America was massive, now estimated to be in excess of One $Trillion, much ofwhich 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 realjudgment will be like. I'd seen "like-kind" of looting and killing going on in visions of theruins 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 comingWrath of God as seen January 21, 2004.

So if you want toput confusion into the enemy's carnp (terrorists), you should bind "confusion to theenemy" not "loose confusion on the enemy". If you loose it, it is not there_ If you bind itto 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 failmiserably." (Unquote)

Comment by Chuck-JOHNEL: In order for those relatives to not notice the judgmentsthat have been coming down on this nation for the past twenty years- (progressively andgrowing more intense with time) one would have to be either blind and deaf or willfullyignorant of what is going on. When people don't like what they hear it is a common andcarnal reaction to dispute or reject it and to pay no attention to what is happening aroundthem.

I have spent considerable time from Newsletter to Newsletter detailing the judgments asthey have unfolded and are surfacing - it is no longer a matter in dispute unless one wantsto 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 ofman, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days areprolonged, and every vision faileth? Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I willmake this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it...but say unto them, The daysare at hand, and the effect of every vision... Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the LordGOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I havespoken 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 beconsumed off the face of the earth. But you have fulfilled your duty as given in Ezekiel 318-21 — if they chose to reject the warning then at the least you have no blood guilt beforeGod - it is on their heads not yours.

Regarding the "bind and/or loose" issue: Perhaps you have a point but then when wewrite these prayers the impulse to make them perfect' is an impossibility. We bring ourfocus to the intent of our hearts with the view that God surely knows that and understandswhat 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" onour enemies,wc know that He knows the intent of our hearts and responds accordingly.

Its not easy taking my problems one at a time when they refirse to get in line.Ashleigh Brilliant.

Scott M. On(no dates (Quote) "Dear Chuck-JOHNEL, The vision that God gave me onMarch 31, 2001 came to pass. I actually had three sequential open visions. This vision wasthe third of the series. I saw a timing for a judgment event and communicated this in arough copy of a book that I gave to a well known minister. I didn't give the exact detailsof the vision but only the month and year (December 2004). He had enough informationto act on however. I did tell the complete vision to my wife, my best friend, and a coupleof others since the time I had the vision. They can verify that I told them in advance ofwhat I saw. In the third vision, I saw two fireballs launched (like a flare gun) from thepresent time down a time line (left to right). My focus was brought to the first fireball. Isaw it arch and then come down. It landed three years and eight months, but almost to theninth month, yet still inside the eighth. It seemed that it would land in the ninth month, butfell short just inside the eighth month. On December 26, 2004, the earthquake and tsunamistruck 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 somethingnot 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 Heknew that the leader whom I gave the message to would be uninterested in the message andwould not assist me in getting the book published. But God did NOT give me the timingof the second fireball, which is coming next. I didn't see it land as the Lord drew my focusto the first fireball only (an event that wouldn't be prevented, though it was God's desireto do so). My best "guess" is that it is about three to five years from where the first fireballlanded. Again, God hid the timing because there is probably a much better chance ofstopping this one, now that the first one came to pass so precisely. Now Chuck, you'veexperienced 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 WANTfrom me?" When all we really want is to do some good with the information God revealsto us, and nothing more. I don't need a position in another man's ministry because Ialready have one frankly. It is better than any "position" that a man can offer. But as youhave said before, there is an authority conflict. People don't want to believe that you justmight have more authority than they do, though you are unknown. Or they may see thatyou are not someone who goes along with the party line and this makes them nervous. Thisleader knows me. I even helped him move once. It is not like I am complete stranger. Mywife, Noi Martin, got a word from an angel in February or March of 2000 that went likethis: 1. The gas prices will continue to rise_ 2. Airline employees strike. 3. Martiallaw. This seems to be a timely word. God Bless."

Comment by Chuck-JOHNEL: I have seen more than once in my walk with Jesus thatthe Lord will at first not only give a warning of a coming judgment event but also thetiming. The Word is rejected and is ignored even after it comes to pass. That action ofrejecting Christ blurs the timing on other revealed events because what is happening is that

Capt. Thomas L. On September 21, 2005 (Quote) "Dear JOHNEL and friends, Praise theLIVING GOD! His mercies are renewed with each sonrise!

I would as to share with you some thoughts about these hurricanes. Some months ago I sawa cloud formation that looked as a huge wing and a huge vertical shaft or rod seen in thegeneral direction of New Orleans to the west of my home in South Mississippi. Severaldays later I saw an almost identical formation. (See Job 33:14). This would have been atabout the beginning of the hurricane season. Then last night about 9:00 PM 1 saw thecrescent moon phase setting in the same general direction, towards New Orleans, it wasblood red and flanked by the planets Mars and Venus. Listening to the reports from NewOrleans 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 yourcouncil letter #11 to President Bush and can see an opportunity for Al Qaeda to smuggleweapons up the Mississippi to Chicago even on a small outboard type boat. We have hadreports on website "survivalcenter.com " that it was reported that traces of boron andnitrogen compounds where found on blackened concrete from the site of the breach of thelevee, characteristic of sophisticated underwater explosives. The levee might have beenblown up that day after Katrina was passing.

One Pastor here on his radio program said Katrina meant cleansing. She sure cleaned outthe casinos in Mississippi. To me the crescent moon is symbolic of the great falling away-the Great Apostasy. Three religions claim Abraham as Father." The kingdom of heaven islike unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole wasleavened." 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 havemade any errors in understanding the Word of GOD." ( Unquote)

Comment by Chuck-JOHNEL: Months before August, 2005 we were tracking demonactivity that led up to hurricane KATRINA and identified early on that the demon princenamed Wormwood' was the power behind this storm which also directed it at New Orleansand the Gulf Coast in general.

Since then, and as reported in the November 30, 2005 Newsletter ( "BEING THANKFULFOR HIS REPRIEVE" ), we now know and understand that hurricane KATRINA was andis the first evidence of the coming Wrath of God.

Page 7 The Staff and Sword Ministry - We Get Letters January 14, 2006Capt. Thomas L. On September 21, 2005 Comment by Chuck-JOHNEL cont'd: T ismakes this event `very serious' and most Christians (to say nothing of the unsaved) haveno idea what this means. It means it is both a severe warning' as well as the first evidenceof the coming Wrath of God unleashed on January 21, 2004.

Consider this: Hurricane KATRINA devastated 90,000 square miles of the U.S., killed anestimated 1,300+ and destroyed well in excess of Si Trillion in property. New Orleans isstill 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 andas we know, JESUS had us take The Staff and prophesy stopping that hurricane fromdevastating Texas - it was `limited' to being a serious trouble and prevented from bringingtotal destruction (the intent of the enemy of our souls). In this the enemy was "out ofbounds" and reined in by the Spirit of God.

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

Lakes into the Mississippi basin following the monster earthquake. That was 33 years agoand now increasing numbers of brethren are receiving visions of this coming destruction,which only tells me that the time for it to happen is now drawing near.

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL: The photo copy of the map (above) is what Rick providedwith 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 willprobably be in the range of a 4.0 to 4.2 Magnitude earthquake. According to JESUS' Wordthe 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 fromSpokane to be the warning.

Basically, I believe that this ea rthquake will strike Spokane sometime in early or late 2007when 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.

In your last prophetic Alert and Advisory, we didn't see any indication that Jesus waswarning those who would listen to move out of New Orleans and the Gulf areas that weredemolished by Hurricane Katrina. Did any of your fellow Prophets or Prophetess's receivewarnings that New Orleans would be no more a city as it was before? My wife had twoidentical dreams of a tsunami of some sort striking the West Coast. Also a young man atwork had a similar dream where he saw a huge wave coming over the mountains andstriking the building he was in. Have any of the men or women of God also had dreams orvisions lately about such an occurrence on our West Coast? If this is of God we need towarn those we know in San Francisco, the Sodom and Gomorrah of California, thatjudgment is coming to their city, so they need to get out before judgment conies upon thator another city as it did in New Orleans.

Reply v Chuck-JOHNEL: I do recall that JESUS' Prophet Pastor Daniel Bohler receiveda Word about the coming destruction of New Orleans and that he warned that area. Thereare doubtless other prophets and brethren who have likewise received warnings about whathit New Orleans.

The SPIRIT of GOD is quickening many in the body of Christ to know various details ofthe coming judgment but the response of the church in general is worse than it was twentyyears ago. Less are even willing to hear what God is saying and reject any notion that theyare 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 thisdeadly Category 5 Storm was headed their way - and many refused to believe it would hitNew Orleans and stayed - and many perished. If they reject God's Word they will rejecteveryone else as well.

About 1:30 A.M. on Saturday, October 8 t ', I had an unusual experience. Before I share itI'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' givenJune 20, 2005 does. He made it clear to me that this gift' touches people world wide andbeyond. Wherever my physical presence is, God's power is manifested. He's using me verypowerfully. This `gift' is for others, not for me personally. On a daily basis our Lordreminds me of this gift. Chuck, Nancy- it is so awesome! The Lord Jesus and Father andHoly Spirit are my constant companions. We converse night and day. I asked the Father tohelp me because I do not feel worthy of such a great and incredible gift because I am sucha sinner. He said that was correct and that it was His choice to give this to me. OnSeptember 4" I received another wonderful spiritual gift. On October 3 rd while I was outwith 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"', 2005experience. I was wide awake and before my eyes I saw a map of the entire world. Eachboundary line was clearly marked in blue. Each section had the name printed in black. Theprint was too small for me to read. It moved then remained stationary . In the center of the

emerged two lambs sitting side by side and in front of them a boy of twelve sat. As Icontinued to view this T.V. scene (that is the only way I can explain this), the twelve yearold had wings. (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.As I ponder all these happenings, I'm just wondering if this has any inklings concerningJune 20 `h 2005? I entrust these experiences to you and hope you have some ideas as to theirmeaning." (Unquote)

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL: Hello Sister Marguerite! Interpretation of a dream/vision isusually vested in the one who receives it - it is best you pray and seek JESUS for HOLYSPIRIT 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 beundertaken as one moves `In The Spirit' and by the Spirit of God through JESUS CHRISTsomething 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 Revelationchapter 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.

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 muchof 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, ifGod 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 tobe awakened, lest God require them "to do something"!

Roy and Faith M On October 29, 2005- Comment b y Chuck-JOHNEL: First I want tothank you for sharing and especially for your work in the Lord preaching the Gospel to theunsaved in foreign lands.

Over the years, even in the early years of this Ministry work in Christ, I've had brothers andsisters in Christ make the comment (after hearing the judgment message) "Oh, I've heardthat before! " What struck me then as now was/is the complacency in so many brethrenabout God's Word. Another oddity is that the closer the judgment gets the greater theindifference or rejection of God's Word at work in the same brethren. Amen!

On (no d te) (Quote) "Dear Mr. And Mrs. Youngbrandt, I am in the process oflistening 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 friend-type relationship, but it has taken me a long time to understand even the basic concept thatI am acceptable to God, in Christ, without having to do anything. God and I have beentalking regularly about the difference between being with God verses doing for Him. AndI 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 willcontinue 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 neverheard that explained so well before." (Unquote)

It has been saidthat Lubbock (Texas) would be a city of refuge in the last days. They are building housesand apartments like crazy. Have you heard anything about this? Also I sympathize with youin having shingles. I am a nurse and have seen many suffer with them. If you are interestedin a natural remedy, you can go to www.abchomeopathv.com . You can list your symptomsand they will tell you what would work. May our precious Lord Jesus bless, heal, protectand continue to inform you!" (Unquote)

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL: No, we have not heard about Lubbock, Texas being a city ofrefuge - this must be a revelation given to someone else. Beyond the five areas where "Godwill save many alive", as revealed in 1977, we have little insight into specific areas outsideof those places. Our focus remains on encouraging and leading brethren to come to knowJesus and to trust Him to keep them safe and/or lead them to places of safety as He wills.

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL continued : Thank you for the website on a natural remedyfor shingles. A sister in Christ dropped us a note about how her husband, who had a nastycase of shingles, found an effective remedy in taking amino acid which we found locallyunder 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!

Roy W. On (no date (Quote) "Hi Chuck and Nancy-TONI, a friend wants to know whatcounties 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 ALIVEHERE." 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 thefive area FATHER circled) did not include western Washington or that area west of themountains which divide Washington State into two parts. GOD THE FATHER'S Fingerswept like a broad brush - and today (seeing I had a poor grasp of the west coast areas inthose days) I sometimes believe that this area of Northern Washington State may includewestern 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 whereto live in these days, it is much better that one pray to be led of by the Spirit of God towheresoever He wants. It is the focus on CHRIST JESUS, trusting Him, and yielding to HisWill that is the heart and key to being prepared, which is only found in and out of concerteddaily prayer asking for that preparation.

Being ignorant is not such a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

Suddenly he had a vision of an enemy placing atomic bombs under water offMiami, 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 lineSouth of Orlando Florida. Could the action of mankind be the cause of this destruction ofSouthern Florida?" (Unquote)

Page 15 The Staff and Sword Ministry - We Get Letters January 18, 2006Rejlv by uck- NEL (continued): JESUS shewed me southern Florida (roughlysouth of Orlando, Florida) on a bright sunny day suddenly sinking into the sea. The waterslowly and irresistibly rose up and swallowed the land and there was no apparent traumapreceding that. However, I have speculated that an all out nuclear attack on the U.S. mightproduce a seismic shock to the continent that would cause this - but it is, on my part, aspeculation. I don't know the exact cause except to know that it is judgment. However, toanswer your question - the action of mankind could be the source of this sinking (thoughunlikely).

I might add that back in 1982 JESUS shewed me a vision of the underpinnings of Floridaand I noted that much of the southern portion of the state stood on a land mass thatcavernous - empty or filled with sea water which had apparently eaten away much of thestone. I was also shown an Angel of God holding the state up from beneath, preventing itfrom breaking away and sinking. As I recall this vision of 1982 it seems more likely thatwhen GOD removes His Hand from America, that Angel will leave and the state will sinkshortly thereafter.

But now you are saying wemay be called to move within the next two years. God bless your ministry, and supply allyour needs." (Unquote)

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL: Actually the revelation of April 31, 1977 was this (QuotePage 224 of The Staff and The Sword book) "...The massive midwest earthquake happensat this time.. .Thirty days after the midwestern United States earthquake, the Lord sendsHis angels to warn His children to flee - and 7 days later, Russia and China press thebuttons 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 whohave 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 the2 year period ofinercy (ending April-September, 2007) to be prepared will only escape withthe 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 thefive safe areas or as we like to say, "Places where God will keep many alive."

On October 30, 2005 (Quote) "Hello Chuck-JOHNEL and Nancy-TONI, 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 didbattle with the enemy, I believed, and wanted to be a part of what the Lord was doingthrough you. Some do not believe this and others do not understand as I did not beforebecoming 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 wouldnot listen. But I share with those that will listen and prepare as He leads looking to my Lordand Savior. Sometimes seeing what is coming by what you have shared and what Hereveals to me in my abiding time, seeing God's hand in this ministry. I trust in Him to leadme as a Captain in His army. Thanks for your time, something that I believe is mostprecious 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 understandingwhich is both humbling and helps you to open up more to Him, realizing how much weneed Him to go through the days to come. How the Lord uses you and the insights Hereveals to you only confirms more your closeness to Him, the truth, and the real mercy Helongs 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 thegathering of His people. The Lord has also called me by my surname (below) which bringsup a question I would like to ask. In knowing this did you change your name to this in allaspects 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 1982I 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 thatin time, that one day, I will be known simply as "JOHNEL." In fact, many call me by thename "JOHNEL" at this time.

Sarah on October 28, 2005 (Quote continued) have an important concern regarding thechildren of believers during this time. Do you think we should be telling our children aboutthe troubles that are ahead? I am a teacher so I realize that they need to be spoken to in away that they can understand.... but do you think we should be working to prepare ourchildren spiritually and emotionally as we are preparing ourselves? (Through Jesus) I havefour sons and I have been telling them that there will be troubled times ahead because ofman's sinful and disobedient nature. 1 also tell them that God will take care of His childrenwhen they put their full trust in Him. My husband is supportive. However, I've beencriticized by other family and friends for saying "scary" things. I think it will be more scaryto wake up one day to learn that another city has fallen or that a war has begun and not haveany clue as to why these things are happening! I've considered writing a few articles to helpChristians prepare their children for the times ahead, but who would publish them andwould anyone want to hear the truth?"

Reply by Chuck-J0HNEL: I have had this question raised to me recently and believe thatchildren "need" to be prepared for what is coming short of terrifying them. Children are alot stronger than most people give them credit for and adaptable (more than adults); but Iagree that it needs to be done in a way that both educates, informs and prepares themwithout the `fear impulse' being stirred.

I would be interested in reading such articles that you might write on this subject and wouldbe 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.

Reply by Chuek-JOHNEL. No, haven't checked on him since anointing him in early1977 nor will I unless JESUS sends me to see him. He was just about 24 years old when weanointed him which makes him around 53 years of age today. I remember seeing a visionof him BEFORE we anointed him in 1977 and he looked like a much older man, balding butstill vital and strong. When I met him he was a very young man and I realized that he wouldfulfill God's Purposes much later in life.
