I am 8I yearsold now and it is more difficult for me to read. My eye sight is not as good as it was.Therefore it is getting harder for me to read and work on my computer. Although Iam still hearing from the Lord I am having more difficulties putting it down onpaper. I regret that I am not more helpful in the ministry and the Lord's work..

Thank you for your continued service and may the Lord bless you and yourministry." (Unquote)

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL: Thank you for your loving letter, we are happy to he ableto serve in this way. As far as receiving a Word froth Jesus - if writing is difficult, geta tape recorder and make tapes of His Word and keep it that way. Just a suggestion.God bless.

Erna R. Onz no date (Quote) "To Chuck-JOHNEL and Nancy-TONI: I am Erna and Ilive with my daughter Bonnie and John, my son-in-law. They are very good to me. We arenot farmers, but we are sitting on 33 acres, wooded and fenced, with a 5 acre lake full offish. In the middle it is 28 feet deep.

I have the following questions:1. In the case of a fallout, would the water and the fish be contaminated?2. What makes the generator run? A machine?3. What should I purchase for food — how about flour and other items?

4. Would the chickens survive?5. What should I understand by a "root cellar"?John and Bonnie have 4 children and I I grandchildren, 2 girls and 9 boys. They are

all believers. When a bomb falls, they will all be running to John and rightly so! In this bigsplit-level house there is room. The grand piano invites all who love music. Bonnie wasa pianist in church for 40 years, and now she is into flower gardening. We don't have abasement, but a walk-out family room, right into the beautiful garden.

P.S. About 5 years ago, I had a stroke. It affected my whole right side. I cannot writenor talk properly. But my mind is clear and for that I thank God. Next year I will be 90years old." (Unquote)

Reply b y Chuck-JOHNEL: That is a parcel of questions but let me try and answer themas you gave them:

1. Standing water would become radioactive from both alpha and beta particles and the

fish likewise would become radioactive in the case of fallout. If the radioactivity is high

enough it would kill the fish in the pond. This is why it is an excellent idea to have a rad-

meter on hand to check to see if the fish (caught later) arc still radioactive_

2. A generator is a machine that runs on either, gasoline, diesel or propane fuel and whenit is operating it will generate electricity which is its main function.

3. You should have enough food on hand to feed yourself and your family for a minimumof three weeks for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and some extra to help others in need. You

should also be able to grow your own food for longer term.

4. if the radioactivity is high enough to make people sick or to kill people it will also make

chickens sick or kill them unless they are in a shelter safe from radiation.

5. A root cellar is basically an underground room deep enough to store fruit and

vegetables at ground temperature (about 40 to 50 degrees) which serves to preserve fooditems without refrigeration. A fall out shelter could also double as a "root cellar."

Paul R. On November 5, 2047. (Quote) "Nancy-TONI, ...I'd also like more informationabout the revelation that North America is spiritual Jerusalem. How does this fit withbiblical prophecy?

Blessings and honor and glory and power to Him who sits on the throne." (Unquote)

Replyby JOHNEL : When North America was invaded 'In The Spirit in 1981 by a demonarmy aiming to trigger Nuclear World War .Ill by August of 1982 JESUS called inc and

the Net of Prayer to take on the whole Armor of God and to move `In The Spirit' to dobattle, to destroy this demon army before it triggered Nuclear World War III. Thatrevelation alone was boggling and yet we undertook to do His Will. In years earlierJESUS had referred to North America as an "Israel "- and I'd come to understand that theso called "lost ten tribes of Israel " had in fact migrated from Europe to North America,to the place promised to them by GOD through the Old Testament Prophets.

Before the battle engaged in 1981 with that massive demon army, I moved in The Spirit'with the First Legion of JESUS' Warring Angels (all on horse back) to do areconnaissance of the areas around the demon army that was marching into NorthAmerica from the west.

In doing this I carne upon an ancient wall that bounded the U.S. and Canada, a wall ofhuge stone blocks. The demon army had broken through this wall at a point and wereadvancing into North America through that ancient wall. What was it? Frankly, I didn'tknow! But I could see it plain as day in The Spirit' and it had been there for some time.

Richard-DANIEL, then the Captain and p rayer leader of the newly formed NehemiahPrayer Group, was assigned the task of battling and driving the demons back through andout of the breach in this ancient wall and then to repair the breach and so rebuild thatwall. In doing this he came upon a huge gate and knew by the Spirit of'God that it was"Sheep Gate" - one of the gates in Jerusalem. That revelation was both intriguing andmystifying, but we were quite busy in pressing the battle with that massive demon armyand had no opportunity to ponder these insights nor what they meant at the tine.

Years earlier JESUS had shewn me that Ezekiel 38 spoke of both Israel in the Middle Eastand North America (Canada and the U.S.). Ezekiel 38: 8-9 specifically speaks of'littleIsrael in the Middle East, but that Ezekiel 38: 10-16 speaks specifically ofNorth America(Canada and the U.S.).

When we completed the destruction of that demon army (the fierce battle in The Spirit'

Reply by JOHNEL (continued) : ran from November 1981 to January of 1982) JESUSinstructed me to go out across North America to extend the Seal o_f'the Living God to Hispeople eve'ywhere. JESUS led me to Ezekiel 9 and Revelation 7.

I noted, at that time, that the Lord 's instructions in Ezekiel 9 to the "man clothed withlinen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side" was to: "Go through the midst of thecity, through the midst of Jerusalem ..." (Ez 9: 4 a)

Well that is the heart of what the Lord sheaved us over the years - it came in small piecesand parts but began to come together in 1981-1982. Hope this answers your question.

Andrew and Faith F. On November 13, 2007. (Quote) "Dear Chuck-J0HNEL, Nancy-TONI, Jim-RAPHAEL, and Leith: Hi. Last April we became aware of (for the first time)miniature cows - real live ones that are only about four feet tall. I want to pass this on toyou and anyone who is wanting to produce their own beef or dairy products on a smallscale.

Miniature cows can be categorized as beef, dairy or dual purpose. Some are smallbecause God made them that way, and some are small because they have been bred small.

Some obvious advantages to miniature cows are thatthey require less land, less feed,and less freezer space at butcher time than their full-size counterparts. I have read that theyare gentle (some people keep them as pets) and that even the bulls are friendly. Miniaturedairy cows produce 1-2 gallons of milk each day, more manageable for a family householdor small farm.

We especially have been interested in the miniature Jersey for milk, the ScottishHighlander for beef, and the Dexter as a dual purpose breed. Presently, we are waiting forthe Lord's direction and provision to acquire one or more for our own." ( Unquote)

You mentionedthe fires of love, or something to that effect.

Is it possible that this thought or principle is applicable not just for California? Notethat New Orleans, where Katrina struck, is set to be washed into the Gulf. SouthernFlorida, where there are also many fires, will go underwater. The New Madrid area and St.Louis will be flooded by the Mississippi when the Great Lakes are dumped into them.

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL: The Lord JESUS wants His people to be praying to know whatis His Will for them - to stay or move, and if to move, to pray to know where to move toand when, and then to have the patience and faith to know that the Lord JESUS will revealall you need to know when you need to know it. There is no time like the present to be

praying about all of this and being open to doing whatsoever the Lord JESUS or the

HOLY SPIRIT leads you to do. Amen.

We pray that you are well and prospering always in Our Lord Jesus Christ. Wehope that you had a wonderful second honeymoon to Hawaii and that you both had awonderful relaxing time! You both so much deserve it!

I was listening to the series on "Unconditional Love" and on one of the tapes youwere talking about Father God promising you both a trip to Hawaii. Is this the same tripafter many years later Father God promised`' Just a thought.

Angus and I are doing well. We are staying steadfast in Christ Jesus. It has not beeneasy financially and has felt the weight of it at times. These have been the times when wehave been encouraged by the Holy Spirit to stay steadfast in Christ Jesus and keep lookingto Jesus, the Author and finisher of our faith.

The past three weekends we experienced tumultuous weather. Post Tropical StormNoel hit Nova Scotia on November

3rd 2007 and it brought a lot of flooding in some areas

especially on the costal areas and low lying areas. We had hurricane strength winds of upto 135 knVh that brought down trees and knocked out power and in some areas power wasnot restored until up to a week. We were without power for a day and a half but thankfully,we also had a generator. It felt like an earthquake hit without the actual effect of it. I feltthe house shook! I asked Angus if he felt anything and didn't notice. This was during theearly morning after 2 am when the power went out. I heard someone on the radio said thesame thing of what I felt. After the storm was over, there was no damage to our property.Even the Chicken house that is almost stilts was untouched. Our property, home andeverything else was untouched! There was a tree on the front lawn area that was uprootedbut it was that way for a while and the storm only did us a favor. It wasn't fruitful in beingthere anyhow and Angus cut it down. We give thanks and praise to Heavenly Father andOur Lord Jesus Christ for protecting us and keeping us safe. I have seen the results of theZONE PRAYER and CARE AND KEEPING PRAYER that we pray in our Daily PrayerSheet come to pass. All Praises to Heavenly Father and Christ Jesus! We sure are

The following weekend which was November 9, 2007, we got hit by a Nor'easterstorm. Winds were not as intense as Noel but brought rain and snow with high winds. Thethird weekend which is this weekend of November l 6 t '', we had a rain storm and again withhigh winds.

(Letter continued writing on November 23, 2007). The Canadian dollar has beenexperiencing a high which is working against our economy. Oil per barrel has hit almost100 dollars US per barrel. At current today, we are paying 1.14/litre for gas. It is gettingquite expensive to travel and we have to get second jobs. We're praying and sockingFather God on going to the Northwest Territories on short term work assignment for acouple of months, at least Angus is anyway. I don't think I can handle that kind ofisolation. He is applying for his license there right now. The money made in a couple ofmonths would help alleviate much of the financial strain right now. In the meantime, heis getting extra work through an agency. Through this all, we are truly staying encouragedin the Lord Jesus. I must admit that there were days in passing it seemed difficult and that'sbecause for a moment I especially allowed myself to see the problems, but thank God forHIS Holy Spirit who is ever so loving and gentle to keep us on the straight and narrowway. Things are looking up and we are staying close to Jesus and growing and dying toourselves daily. I use this experience as growth and preparation for what is ahead of us.We give Heavenly Father thanks and praise for you all and for the abundance of HisUnconditional Love towards us all. He is ever faithful and loving and kind. I don't thinkthat I can really describe His goodness in words but my spirit man knows it well.

Again, I'm sorry for not keeping in touch by mail till now but you are always in ourprayers. Each day that we check the mail, we're looking to see if there is any letters fromyou. We anxiously and lovingly wait to hear from you. Our Heavenly Father richly blessesand keeps you always. With lots of love in Our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST.

Please find enclose a love offering. God Bless." (Unquote)

Chuck-JOHNEL Reps': Thank you for the lovely letter. Judgment is entering ineverywhere and everyone is feeling it; but as you reflect, the Lord gives us the strength tocome through it all. Those without Christ will sink in a sea of troubles with no hope orhelp - how sad.

Yes, we believe the recent trip to Hawaii is the one Father promised us years earlier(1986) - little by little all He revealed then is coning to pass. Very little is left to happen.God bless.

Perhaps you should consider adding some additionalhelp to your staff. I believe you made mention of a word to you last Fall of 2007 offinding someone to help Nancy and perhaps others. I was reading the last newsletter(0ct._21, 2005) that I received before moving to the Ukraine in Nov. 2005. There isa section headed `Ministry website coming' where you stated Yeshua's angel to youstated the Messiah wants you to establish a website for ministry purposes. You datedthat Word on Aug. 6, 2005. You also stated you knew not how to do this personally.The Messiah knows this. But He also knows you are capable of finding someone whocan bring the project to completion.

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL : The question is fair enough. I didn 't realize it 's been 31months, but then I've been so busy the time has just vaporized.

From the time Ifinish nish a Newsletter, there is the space of about 3 weeks (window ofopportunity) to work on other tasks before it is time to begin assembling data . for thenext Newsletter. JESUS gave me the little book to he entitled: " PROPHETICWARNING SIGNS " as a priority ahead of'the Website and I've worked hard on thatbook in those "windows of opportunity" (3 weeks). Along the way I have had todevote time to the Net of Prayer, writing reports, issuing new prayer sheets and thenthere are all the other duties (budgeting, paying bills, addressing the urgent oremergency needs of brethren...) Well, I could go on and on but the overall work thatI'in immersed in is fairly intense. Along the way I need to get some rest - now andthen. Now and then I experience a physical collapse - unable to work and MUST

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL (continued : rest. Then we have visitors, and an end ofthe month meeting which usually takes 2-3 days to prepare for (prayer and dataassembly) to say nothing of meals and work around this 20 acre farm.

My usual day starts at about 9 a.m. and goes on to near 5a.m. to 6a.m. the next day(yup, it is about a 19 hour day and it is 7 days a week). Of late I have had to reduceit to a 16 hour day because to work so long constantly results in illness and aworsening of the diabetes I have - gotten by working this pace for too many years.

"If" I was working in the corporate world I'd work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. five daysa week and have two days off each weekend. More, "if' I was in the corporate worldI'd be retired for a year and a half (I will be 67 this year). I'm not in the corporateworld nor is it likely that the Lord JESUS is going to lay me off for poorperformance. I'm already giving it all I've got.

Both Leith and Jinn-REPHEAL help me as much as they can; but the simple truth iswhen it comes to issues like Jesus' Word and Revelations given to me, it is strictly myduty to make sure it is correct and done right. I cannot delegate that. We alreadyhave all the help we will need to actually set-up the Ministry Webs1te once I can dothat work which only I can do. I 'm the bottle neck, JESUS knows it and Ifigure thatI will get this website set-up in the time He wants it set-up, not before.

Right now I'm working on the May Newsletter. It has already taken a week and a halfto gather the revelation and history on certain matters to be able to write it. Theactual writing takes about two weeks. JESUS told me to limit this WE GETLETTERS to 12 pages, in order to bring my , focus to the main part of the Newsletterdealing with problems resultin

gfrom the renting (fracturing) of the earth's mantle.

I came down with a cold last week and pressed ahead with the work outside ('physicallabor) and work inside at night and into the morning (Winistty stuff . I was workingupwards of 18 hours a day. It caught up to me yesterday, in the afternoon I fell quiteill, weak and unable to work - I had to lay down and sleep.

Ifeel somewhat better and am back at it. Right now it is near 1 a.m. May 21 S` and Iwill work for another two hours or until I can 't work anymore. Sometimes the Lord"pulls the plug on me" and I can 't work and must rest.

One thing I will say and that is that "if"" I were back in the corporate world, that

Reply by Chuck-JOHNEL (continued. : kind of work would be a breeze, like asummer picnic.

In any event, when I complete this May Newsletter and see it mailed, I will turn withwhatever energy I have to try and complete the book, "PROPHETIC WARNINGSIGNS " so I can work on the Website.

The diabetes tiling: I'm inclined to say a bit more about this. My family has a historyof diabetes, so the inclination was there by birth. Nonetheless, I enjoyed DivineHealth for some time. JESUS made me pretty tough and so the raging storm ofhellish accusers and haters did not cause me to wither and fade away, but at thesame time I was not impervious. In the very early 1980's the HOL YSPIRIT gave meto over hear Lucifer speaking to his demons about me, telling them to strike at meuntil I bled to death. I remember hearing that quite clearly by the SPIRIT OF GOD.

Although I did not learn this until many years later, after coming down with diabetes,and that was that lack of sleep (minimum of 8 hours a night) combined with intense

stress can cause the onset of diabetes. Christians believing the lies about me added

to the attacks on me personally and it became a constant barrage of hate, threats,

and false accusations. That kind of wounding causes intense stress - the long hoursof work and constant pressure to pei form (complete tasks) added to the stress levelalready in the 'red zone'.

It took 24 years of such stress and abuse before it suifaced - I came down withdiabetes in 1994. Fundamentally, diabetes is a blood disorder.

Today I will push hard to complete projects but if I reach the point where it is toomuch, Is/ow down and rest. That is all. God bless. Chuck-JOHNEL.

Also wanted to tell you of some really amazing events that have happened here. Afriend and I went to an absolutely awesome worship seminar where the speaker was JacobToback of Worship The Living God Ministries. He was mentioned in one of Rosie

Page 11 The Staff & Sword Ministry/We Get Letters May 21, 2008Joanne M. On November 25 2007. (Quote continued) Lovejoy's visions, so I checkedout his website and called him to order some things. It was definitely a divineappointment! He started prophesying over me on the phone, and then the Holy Spirit gaveme a word of knowledge for him, so it was quite a conversation! Don't you just love itwhen God hooks up these divine appointments? The seminar was so filled with God'sglory and love, it was truly an experience not to be missed. Any materials from thisministry you get will change your life forever and teach you how to fulfill your role as Hispriest.

Next thing - I have a friend who was married at 16 to a man who remained a staunchconservative Baptist all his life and died unexpectedly of a heart attack about a year ago.My friend went on into the fullness of the Holy Spirit, so they attended different churches.She is 65 now and free to travel attending all kinds of conferences and seminars and HolySpirit meetings. At one of the meetings she attended, Jeff Jansen was ministering inworship. He said at previous meetings that two angels were traveling around the U.S. onenamed Emma and one named Grace, and they were handing out gemstones to people at themeetings. Apparently Patricia King received one which then grew bigger. I was told thereis a man from the Houston area who received a 500 carat ruby from one of these angels.Anyway, my friend received a gemstone at one of these meetings, it was in her hotel roomon the table. A total of 10 people at that meeting received such gemstones. I got to see myfriend's a couple weeks ago. I turned it under a bright light and there in the middle of itwas an etched cross! I just stand amazed. How very compassionate of the Lord to providesuch a gesture of love to my friend who had recently lost her husband.

A person taking stock of all that is needed to prepare for what's coming as comparedto the finances required to obtain it would quickly despair of having all that's needed. Inaddition to that, how about those among us that are elderly, widowed, not in good health,and don't have the physical strength and stamina to keep up with a self-sufficient farm andall that it requires. So many of us do not know how to garden, save seeds, cook fromstorage, preserve and can, make soap, make candles, wash clothes with a washboard,collect rainwater, etc. We're woefully unprepared in terms of practical skills for everydaylife without technology. Steve and I have long since figured out it's absolutely going to bethe Lord providing what is needed. We're doing the most we can, but we're a LONG wayfrom the ideal. I think the Lord is going to strategically place us. Steve (and I) have longfelt that our gathering of "stuff' is not primarily for us but also for other Christians whowill come upon it and need it after we're gone. What that means I don't know, but I thinkwe need to also be prepared that it may be the Lord's will that He takes us home and thatpossibly not every one of us will live through the judgment. Our lives and times are in Hishands, and each of us has an appointed time to die, and when that time comes, we're outof here. Whether we live or whether we die (bodily), we are the Lord's.

Thanks again so much for your ministry and all you do." (Unquote)

Michael C. On (no dated (Quote) "Dear Youngbrandts I consider it a privilege to praydaily in unity with other prayer warriors from the N.G.P.! I feel part of a team and that Iam being counted on to maintain my responsibility in ushering in God's Kingdom.Consequently, I have not missed a day since August (which, if you knew my prayer historyprior to joining your ranks, you would realize what a miracle this is). Thanks again forsuch a great opportunity to do what we should be doing anyway. ...PRAYING. GodBless." (Unquote)

Michael S On November 29 2007. (Quote) "Dear Youngbrandts, I am writing you to tellyou about God's divine protector during a recent tornado. On October 18, we had a badtornado cut a path 20 miles long through an F3 storm. Here it desolated many homes andbusinesses in town and by that time it was 1/3 mile wide. We live in the woods and wasdirectly in the middle of the path. We were in bed and had no warning it was coming at10: 15 at night. By the time we got to the basement it was over. When we got out, ourwoods were totally destroyed, tree limbs everywhere. Our house had ver y minimal damage.Four vehicles sitting in the yard - only my truck had a small dent in the bed. The three carswere untouched. Every tree around the house and cars that went down, laid down as ifguided by angels to miss the house and cars. Everyone who has been back here has justbeen amazed at the damage yet none to the house or cars." (Unquote)

Georgia H. On December 3L2007. (Quote) "P.S. On the "17" 1 feel you are right that theMidwest quake will happen in 2010. If this be so, then it probably will not be part of the"great quake, so great that it is the greatest since men were upon the earth, so great aquake" in the book of Revelation. That quake will be global and the Midwest quake, if ithappens in 2010 probably will be too soon for it to be part of the "greatest quake of allti me." But as you say, timing is difficult. We do our best but in the final analysis, God isthe only one who knows the day or the hour.

Also, I wish to comment on your quarrelsome "inquirer" Jerry which you quoted inyour last letter. I found him very boring. It is obvious he is a "scoffer" and there will benothing you can ever say that will satisfy him as he does not believe - so don't waste yourvaluable time on such scoffers. It is his mission to be a "fly on your nose" and to distractyou. Pay him no mind.

Scoffers abound in this day and I don't know what is going to happen to them butI' m sure glad I'm not one of them!!" (Unquote)
