Just wanted to give you an update of some personal news, and some revelations, andGod's leading in my life I'd like to share with you.

First of all, for the last two months, I've been preparing for my daughter Alishia'swedding for June

8th

and my son's graduation and open house June 10 th and 22. It's beenquite a whir' wind around here. On top of that, God has been having me pack and deal withhouse issues as I prepare to move to New York State.

The Lord hadme contact the realtor later when we returned and found out she is also being led by Godby faith. A connection was made. She has offered me a job working for her but is waitingon God for the finances. She has given me a few rental leads to check into. Wow, God isamazing! Just a note, we circled the entire Northern area twice. I believe this hassignificance. Also this took place before the flooding of New York State, New Jersey andMaine. We never went any lower than Albany. I believe most of the flooding took placebelow the areas we traveled. Perhaps someone can confirm this..." (Unquote)

Note by Chuck-JOHNEL: We all need be led of by the Holy Spirit, praying and everlooking to JESUS for guidance and direction in our lives. We may make right turns orwrong turns but as we are continually yielded to Him, He brings us to the place He wantsus to be. We pray the Lord keep you in every way you go and bless you abundantly. Thankyou for sharing.

In praying and fasting you needto pray to be neutral about doing it or not, praying asking that you receive a Holyindifference about the place, yea or nay. Only in that place of holy indifference seekingto be yielded to Holy Spirit direction can you discern the subtle leading of the Spirit ofGod, to he able to hear the still small voice of God within (I Kings 19: 12).

Alan on (no date,) . ( Quote) "...Have been enjoying your first-hand encounters with Jesus,memories allowed you of the beginning of creation, the expanded creation account,celestial vs terrestrial, Adam as co-conspirator with Lucifer, and so forth, and 1 have aquestion regarding the nature of creation:

You were saying that the difference between mankind and the creatures, (animals,birds, fish, etc.), is that man has a "living soul", whereas, none of the creatures of creationhaving "living souls"...With that in mind, could you please explain Revelation 16:3'?.•" (Unquote)

Chuck-JOHNEL's Roll: Rev 16: 3 reads: "And the second angel poured out his vialupon the sea, and it became as the blood of dead men: and every living soul died in thesea.

In Genesis 2:7 it reads: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, andbreathed into his nostrils the breath of life: and man became a living soul. "

In Genesis 2: 19d reads, "...whatsoever Adam called every living creature that was thename thereof. "

In Genesis a distinction is made between a "living soul" which described man asopposed to "living creatures " which described animals.

Page 4: Jan 16th, 2008: We Get Letters

Page 4 The Staff and Sword Ministry January 16, 2008Chuck-JOH'VEL's Reply {continued): I have always acknowledged that animals havesouls, only that they do NOT have a living soul which is a soul with the spark of God, andthat has a God-like attribute. JESUS did say in John 10: 34: "Is it not written in yourlaw, I said, Ye are gods?"

As for Revelation 16: 3 this only defines every soul (creature), in the sea, as being alive.It speaks of creatures and not necessarily man. However, much of the book of Revelationis quite complex and in places mention of the "sea" is also considered by sometheologians to mean "the sea of mankind. "

While I do not have a definitive insight into the whole meaning of Revelation 16: 31 doperceive that it is much deeper than meets the eye and cannot be taken literally. It is quitepossible that it can be speaking of every man in the sea (on ships) would die.

However, Genesis 2: 7 is quite clear, it speaks of "a living soul " as being man, which isquite specific. Again, "every living soul "is a pretty broad statement. That is the best wayI can explain it. I pray it is sufficient, God bless.

Don and MarleneM. On June 4, 2007 (Quote) "Thank you for sending the counsel letter#9 to President Bush, the special April 19`

1 counsel letter, and the information on your

meeting In the Spirit with President Bush that we requested. It arrived today while I'vebeen spending the day in prayer seeking answers on issues for our family.

As I was reading page 3 of your meeting with President Bush about how vivid andmemorable dreams are that you have at the time of waking up, I knew I needed to send youone I had last week. I had been asking Jesus whether to write you or not.

As I was waking from a deep sleep around 5 am (my prayer time) Wednesday, May30, 2007,1 had a very vivid picture/vision of an Amish type open buggy - no cover and justone bench seat for the driver. I was watching it from the back and could see the driver hadon a black suit and black top hat. I didn't see the horses pulling it. The buggy was beingdriven through a lush green park-like area on a dirt road with a huge shade tree off to theright that was in full leaf of summer. It was a very peaceful setting. I sensed this was a newcemetery with no headstones to be seen. Then the words as I remember them coming to mewere: "Death has come to this land." Then I woke up..." (Unquote)

Chuck-JOHNEL Reply: This past March, 20071 attended a funeral service for a youngm an (19 years old) who was killed in a car accident. I saw the angel of death present, theone I'd seen back in 1976, who was waiting for it's time to begin taking a harvest in thechurch among the rebellious. It was there, it had taken this young man 's life - it has beenat work ever since but is invisible to almost all. Your dream is yet another confirmationof death 's presence in America.

THE WRATH OF GOD (continued)

Georgia H. of Oregon who is a N.O.P. Intercessor, wrote us and shared herdaughter's story in that she lived through the California Firestorms of0ctober 21-28,2007, which we knew was an early WRATH OF GOD event. This is an accountgiven by her daughter: (Quote)

"Daughter who lives in Pacific PalisadesShe watched the Malibu fire from her house on top of a high mountain ridge in the

Palisades. She could see the smoke and then she could see the flames, Now, bear in mindthat her home is two canyons away from the Malibu fire so she thought she was safe, andthen suddenly she said it was like some giant hand reached down into that fire and hurledit over two canyons and it exploded in the hill just below her! She could not believe it. Sheheard this huge explosion and the whole mountain just below her exploded. It did not justgradually become engulfed in fire - it literally exploded like a nuclear bomb. She thoughtshe and all around her had had it - there was no time to evacuate, there was no time to doanything. However, luckily, the fire crew below immediately took action to put it out, oneof the reasons being that all of the fire equipment fighting the Malibu fires was stationedbelow that mountain and if the fire gear had burned, that would be it, . everybody wouldbe "toast". . .as the old saying goes.

This same mountainside exploded two additional times during the next 5 days andher husband slept on the patio at night to keep an eye on it. They did not trust that thecrews had the time or the resources to warn everyone to evacuate. You were sort of "onyour own," she was horrified to learn. Resources were spread too thin and they werecovering too much - not only Malibu, Peppedine University being in danger, with studentstrapped in their dorms but the flames had crossed the Pacific Coast Highway and wereburning homes along the ocean front.

So as we watched here for 5 days, I was on the phone for at Ieast 10 days all daymaking calls to family members all over this country keeping them advised of what washappening to their relatives in Southern California.

This daughter has been packed and ready to evacuate four times during the years ofher life when these fires take over cyclically. The greatest one before this one was the 1993fire. She had just had a baby and had to pack to evacuate. I had been there to help her withthe baby, had flown home to Oregon and that evening when I returned to my home andturned on the TV, the restaurant where we had had breakfast that morning was theheadquarters for the fire crew!

However, this one in 2007 was one of a kind . I have lived through the Santa Anaswhen I resided in California and they are horrific. .1 absolutely hate them but she said"Mom, you have never seen anything like this. This is God and He is wroth." She saidit was both awesome and dreadful. Watching our God when He is on the move is "terrible"she said and it is also quite awesome - enough to put the "fear of Him" in you and that isexactly what He had in mind she felt. She said she felt like such a "pissant" down here in

Mary Jo F. On May 12, 2007. (Quote continued) unbelief, faithlessness, doubt,addiction, pattern and ungodly habits, prayerlessness, anxiety and weariness.

Mounted on our horses, some had a mist around their heads with more arrows ofpreoccupation, self-will, distraction and busyness. Their armors were not complete. Somewere shredded in spots and other spots were holes in them. Some helmets didn't cover theirheads completely. Some had dropped their swords, and others had no shield! I heard a fewattempt to war, but it was obvious they had no authority, but were in self power and fallingoff their horses.

As we approached an embankment some of us, though it was steep, made it to thetop effortlessly, while others remained in the valley below.

It wasn't possible to determine gender or identity of those of us on the top of the hill,because our armor covered us completely! There was such a magnificent oneness andunity, that we traveled in perfect formation, warring together, singing and worshipingtogether in Spirit and in truth! All at once, our formation changed — it was dramatic — fromsingle intercessors to a formed body, a single body - some of us were in the arms, neck,legs, etc. Then a white transparent figure rose up and was huge and it walked right into thisbody formation, and now there was a head on the body. He took His cloak and it not onlywent all the way over, covering us, but it seemed to go right into and through us. It was sowonderful now all I could see was this humongous figure of white and no arms or legs orneck was exposed, we were completely hidden in Him. It was Jesus!!! I cried and criedbecause I can't describe that majestic, beautiful sight! From one angle I could recognizecertain ones from pictures through the N.O.P. newsletters, but, from another angle all Icould see was a perfect whole Body with a white shimmering cloak, it was such a sharpwhite, like new fallen snow that glistens. It was just neat!

Anyway, I also cried because there were quite a few that stayed in that valley, andI wanted them so terribly bad to come with us! In my own mind I truly hope everyonerealizes the crucial importance of these prayers, and the astounding effect they have on uspersonally, and corporately, in our home, towns, states, worldwide, to many we don't evenknow, and perhaps won't until we get to Heaven.

One more thing, I feel compelled to say - we have been given authority over ALLthe power of the enemy!

NQ weapon formed against us will prosper. He shall supply all of our needsaccording to His riches in glory! The devil must flee at the mighty name of Jesus! He isan ever-present help in times of trouble. The joy of the Lord is our strength! Let God ariseand let His enemies be scattered! He will never leave us or forsake us. Thou hast coveredmy head in the day of battle. It is God that girds us with strength and makes our wayperfect. He teaches our hands to war so that a bow of steel is broken by our arms. I havepursued my enemies and overtaken them, neither did I turn again until they wereconsumed! Praise God, He is SO mighty..." (Unquote)

Evelyn T. On June 25, 2007. (Quote) "Dear Chuck-JOHNEL and Nancy-TONI,Greetings, in Jesus' love.

The "Binding and Loosing" prayers are very good, and the leadingcame to me toadd these:#1) add - parents after teachers to Binding prayer.#2) add - self-murder in Moslems to Binding prayer.#3) add- worship of death in Moslems to Binding prayer and love of life with spirit of lifeto Loosing prayer.#4) add - religious traditions to Binding prayer.

In addition, the leading came to pray for the destruction of the black stone that isworshiped by Moslem pilgrims in Mecca.

For the PROVISION PRAYER on pg. 7, the leading to add "financial" to the list ofblessings has brought blessings for me! Steve did not know that I had been praying forfinancial blessings - i.e. paying off my credit card to Bank of America, ... Steve gave methe money to pay it off this month when he had the house refinanced! Now, I'm curiousto see how the Lord provides money to pay off my small loan of around $... Then, mydebt will be very small indeed!

Nancy-TONI, have you considered a medical herb garden? Most herbs we use tocook with are medicinal. ..I have seeds and roots. Have a wonderful summer! Steve says,"Hello!" " (Unquote)

Chuck-JOHNEL's Comment: One of the standing rules of the N.O.P. is that everyone isto be led by the HOLY SPIRIT in how they pray. AFTER the basic prayer agreementprayers you are free to add to the prayers as you are led. Glad to see you at-c doing as theLord leads. God bless.

Mar y Jo W. On July 8, 2007. (Quote) "Dear Chuck-JGHNEL, I send my warmestgreetings to you and Nancy-TONI encased in love, admiration and deepest respect. Therole of a prophet is a role of persecution as is seen and felt through the hands of those whopossess an evil spirit of deception. Such is the case of the member of the body of Christ(Mike) with his letter of false superiority and knowledge in the work of God. I write notas one who is confused, for you confuse me not, but rather bring great clarity with yourwritings. I cannot express to you how eagerly I open your mail devouring it word for word.Those few relatives of mine who are open to hearing God's word will ask, "Anything newfrom Chuck Youngbrandt?" I send this short message in hopes that is will encourage you,for the devil certainly does cut deep within us to bring us discouragement, attempting tohumiliate us so that we will stop ministering. So please understand (and I know that youdo) that for every Mike, there are hundreds who see clearly and who appreciate you andyour sacrifices within your ministry IMMENSELY.

With reading the letters sent in, I found the question very interesting "Could it bepossible that it might be President George Bush's nephew (George Bush) who could bethe president in office at the time of the nuclear disaster?" My son and I have mulled overthe same thought or perhaps George's brother Jeb Bush might run and win the presidencyafter a horrible four to eight years of Hillary or whomever in the Democratic party, Onceagain, the populace would be willing to vote the Republican ticket following the tragic,liberal reign of a Democratic president. Even though things certainly do appear to be liningup on the world scene, we have felt this to be the case because of the very large saferefuges of which we know of, and we do know of some, which are not ready to take in theremnant though we can see God preparing these refuges in very concrete ways. At any rate,should the projected time come and go without the prophesied events occurring asbelieved, we can thank God for the extra time to prepare knowing these events are certainto come with a future Bush president." (Unquote)

Note by Chuck-JOHNEL: This is the year that we should see the accidental nuclearattack happen (the month of December} based on one Word from the Lord years ago whichbrought me to believe that George W. Bush is the president He spoke of as being presidentduring the accidental nuclear attack.

The pro of of the pudding is pretty straightforward - the major Hurricane to slam into theGulf f' Coast from Florida to New Orleans in the month of September (the date ofSeptember 9`" is possibly connected with that Hurricane). 1f" we see such a storm surfacethis September, 2008 that is the signal that we are going to undertake a prophetic missionto the east coast to forewarn the cities to be hit (Lexington, Ky., New York, N. Y.,Richmond, Va. and Columbia, S.C.) That would also mean that it will happen this year -"if' we see that Hurricane show in the month of September.

Rick A. On July 13, 2007. ( Quote) "Please advise on how to go about purchasing gold.How to hold it and how to dispose it at the right time." (Unquote)

RepjyjyChuck-JOHNEL: I have bought and sold gold through ICA (McAlvany'scompany out of Colorado) for some years. My contacts are Mr. Rex Turner and Mr. MikeHorsey. Their phone number is (toll free) 1-800-525-9556. They sell what I call"collector's gold coins "which tend to be much more valuable than gold bullion. You callthem and talk to them about what you'd like to buy, send a check and thei r send you thegold coins.

When to sell? Now that is the question! JESUS told me to buy gold months ago and sincethen the value of gold has risen sharply. In fact it is still rising as the dollar declines invalue. I do not know how to advise you except to say that when you make a profit (yourbought gold low, gold is now higher) you can sell it for a profit. But gold is gong to risemore in time, but at some point in time holding it any Inger would he ill advised. When tosell? I don 't know.

What I 'm doing this Newsletter is offering to inform anyone who asks when JESUS tellsme to sell the gold He had me buy. That is all I can do. See the RESPONSE FORMenclosed with this Newsletter.

Yes, the HOLYSPIR.IT Seals us unto salvation/redemption (Eph 1 • 13 and 4: 30); howeverthe Seal of the Living God is something very different as it has to do with sparing theSealed from a premature death, empowering you to walk deeper with Christ andempowering you over the beast of antiChrist.

Karl B. R. On July 2007. (Quote) "Dear JOHNEL, Just received your latest reports. 1noticed that we should drop a line if we suspect that the Evil One is harassing us. Well Iam now 69 years old and haven't been sick for over four years. Just today as I was readingyour material, my ear began to hurt very much and my throat has a tickle. In addition, mycomputer is not working like it should.

The LORD bless you, and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you. Andbe gracious to you; The LORD lift His countenance on you, And give you peace."

(Unquote)

Chuck-JOHNEL Comment: When you experience something like that it has one of two

likely sources, (1) Natural, coincidental and (2) Spiritual interference.

I do not assume that every thing untoward that happens is demonic in source; rather Iassume it is a natural occurrence and coincidental in the sense that it is happening whenwe are doing something "spiritual '(praying, reading the Bible, in fellowship, reading ourNewsletter, etc.).

However, if you discern that it is demonic in source it is always safe to simply pray (withsome authority in Christ) "The Lord JESUS CHRIST rebuke you Satan!" or I please

the Blood ofJESUS CHRIST on you!" If the earache goes away and the computer worksok - it was demonic. This is a a way to start to address the trouble.

Rick W. On July 4. 2007. (Quote) "Dear JOHNEL and TONI, ...I took special interestin the two letters by Richard-DANIEL and wish to thank you for sharing his comments.My final reaction was in complete agreement with JOHNEL's reaction - to take thesesubjects to the Lord in prayer. It seems few people have been directly led by the Word ofGod to `DO' many certain physical preparations yet? That's very interesting in itself. SoI'm following JOHNEL's example to pray about this.

I will mention that while pondering over the very questions about the road aheadthis morning, I discovered an excellent Word posted by Sandy Warner called "We WillRebuild." I would like to quote a part she shared with us to pray over:"Ask Me, says the Lord. Ask Me for a plan, for your plan ofrelease. I want to give you a road map of how to rebuild yourlife.

Over the years you have given a great deal of time-related information in yourprophecies. A September 19 `h earthquake is to precede the monster earthquake that willcause great destruction in Chicago by about one year and seven months. This monsterearthquake is to occur on a July 5", and 37 days later Russia and China are to attack theU.S. Thirty days after a strong tremor in Iowa a powerful earthquake is to strike Boston.There is October 23 w , and December 14` E ' in darkness hours, etc. Then there are the cyclesof 12 and 24 years. On September 23rd124th Russia and China are to start plotting againstthe U.S. I could go on.

On page 6 of the June 16, 2007 "The Staff and Sword Ministry" publication youhad: "JESUS' WORD of January 2, 1989 : "1 WILL NOT REVEAL THE TIMING.JUDGMENT NOW WILL BE THREE TIMES GREATER; IT WILL COMESUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING." (The same thing is on page 6 {6/25] of theJune 22, 2007 "The Staff and The Sword Ministry."

This leaves me wondering. If Jesus did not reveal to you the time-relatedinformation that you have prophesied, then, what was the source?" (Unquote)

Reply ('buck-JOHNEL: It is pretty simple -JESUS is referring to the YEAR thesejudgments would come. Mann years earlier He revealed the day and month of many

R ty by Chuck-JOHNEL (continued): different judgment events (such as the majorearthquake in ChicagolSt. Louis, the earthquake hitting Boston following the quake inIowa, etc. But even back then (1977-1980+) He was not revealing the YEAR of theseevents. For some time we worked to understand that timing aspect, the year, but finallydue to open hostility and rejection of His Word by the Church, JESUS would state that Hewould NOT reveal that timing. I knew what He meant at the time and still do.

Joanne M. Eno date) . (Quote) "Hi, Chuck-JOHNEL and Nancy-TONI! ! May the Lordrichly bless and keep you both. Thanks for your wonderful newsletter, which of course waschock full of wisdom and information. I'm sorry to be so long in responding, but I wasprofoundly affected by the contents in a number of ways and wanted to write you aL00OONG response. But I don't have time (right now) to write it, and you probablydon't have time to read it, so here's the highlights.

I felt actually sick to my stomach when I read the letter from Satan you received.One can feel the darkness just reading it. How sad for the writer. However, every alarmbell in my system went off, and I immediately began praying for you both intensely. I latercontacted Pamela-DEBORAH who shared a prayer she was praying, so I added that onetoo. It just figures ole slewfoot's mad over the Islam prayer campaign and wants to geteven. Well, he's a defeated foe, and God WILL complete every plan, every purpose, andevery calling HE has in mind for each of you and the both of you together! So we are allpraying for you big-time, I hope you feel those prayers! No weapon formed against youshall prosper, and no evil shall come near your dwelling! I also have been led to pray thatthe Lord would send you helpful assistants, but don't know when that will be.

I also was profoundly moved by Richard-DANIEL's letter. I so share his concerns,I fully realize how absolutely vulnerable we are. Preparing for all this IS like Noahbuilding the ark, none of us have been down this road before. My father took the familycamping growing up, but all I had to do was unroll my bedroll and help with dishes. Mostof us are totally unprepared, even though we're trying. We too are asking God for "theplan" and buying such survival things as we're led, but there's such an element of surrealunreality to it. Here I am buying oil lamps and water barrels in the middle of Dallas, Texas.It's so odd. I would very much like to e-mail or correspond with him, is there a way to dothat? I think it would be very helpful as we could share ideas and sources.

I am continually amazed at God's goodness to us all, His graciousness, patience, andmercy is truly beyond our capability to comprehend it, but I'm most grateful for it. Thanksso much for all you do — having done all, STAND! He and all of us are standing with you."(Unquote)

Chuck-JOHNEL Comment: Thank you for the kind remarks, they are appreciated as areall. Joanne M. is referring to a letter! received back then from one obviously driven by

Chuck-JOHNEL Comment: the devil. The enemy likes to express its unhappiness withwhat we are doing in Christ and I tend to be their primary target (but not the only one).But that is ok, if they keep doing it they end up giving me and us "occasion "where underHis direction we can move In The Spirit' and give them a good whack in Jesus Name.

Bill and Kath y S. On Jul 4, 2007. (Quote) "Dear Chuck and Nancy, Hope your 4th

of July was great (ours was) and you both are fine and dandy. We received thenewsletter the other day and got a laugh out of the letter from "a member of the Bodyof Christ." Too bad he didn't put his or her name, but that is beside the point. It allpoints to the "cup" of your ministry that was bitter to the taste yet sweet in yourbelly. I hope that's how you described it. Chalk it up to another disgruntled Christianor non-Christian (if he was or she was, or not.) Speaking of the cup the Angel gaveyou to drink of? Seems like you ran into another bitter person. The world and churchare full of them obviously you've been hitting the jackpot being the target, prophetyou are. God bless you.In regards to you being correct, I would like to share with you on page 17 of yourbook The Lord, the God of Heaven your words describing "a golden lightning thatcame into the room and hit the floor. It splattered like liquid gold and ran in everydirection. A brilliant light followed and through the light I could see Jesus comingdown." I've quoted these words because I too know of and used the very samewords "liquid gold." No one else could use the exact words "liquid gold" until yousee it for yourself. Only upon sharing seeing Jesus did my pastor slam me saying,"no man has seen God, " in unbelief! "You must have had a vision!"

If I never saw Jesus again, I loved this pastor, and would have just said maybe it wasa vision! I tried to say he was right. Until later I saw Him (JESUS) again as purewhite about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches tall, this time in my living room about 1 or 2 yearslater. How could I be conversing with Him in a vision asking questions and gettinganswers to things only that were between us. Again from others "no man hath seenGod." Until you have a beautiful and wonderful encounter with Jesus; being with

Him, Him comforting you or putting His arm and hand on your shoulder and back;you ould not understand . Like the old joke "you had to be there." Well they werenot, so they wouldn't imagine anything even close. "You never miss what you neverhad" or it's like telling a person what "red" looks like who is color blind to thatparticular color. The color red may look like green to him or her. Yes I was a targetfor saying but as for me I will serve the Lord (and will my House.)I feel it's jealousy which is terrible. We are a body but the arm can't be the ear, thefoot can't be the tongue. Where is the trust? We all have an important part, Jesus is

Bill and Kathy S. On Jul 4, 200 7. (Quote continued) the head, each one isprecious ! The bitterness and lies are the acid destroying the very fabric of the bodyof Christ. Jesus gave His life for the church yet man tramples it and each other atevery available chance. Yes chalk it up to another puppet being bitter used by thedevil, but maybe the person is just bitter and rotten to the core and you were next inline for his two cents worth opinion. Too bad for you.Keep those cards and letters coming, but next time just pitch those devilish letters.I wouldn't even show them to Nancy-TONI or if Nancy got to it first she should justpitch it not showing Chuck -JOHNEL. This isn't being secretive, just spare the other

from someone being directed by an accusing-attacking spirit. Psalm 109 talks of this,someone told me it foretold about Judas the betrayer, but I think it speaks of everybitter rotten to the core, key hurting person anywhere including the church. It takesall kinds and it seems like you get them all, but do not be discouraged. A littlelaughter goes a long way. Hope this encouragement goes a long way, too! We loveyou both. Keep going on, and on, and on, (sticks and stones).P.S. on page 9 of the newsletter is our letter, Bill and Kathy S. I misspelled chaos as`kaos' hope that clears it up for you. I apologize. I was tired and out of sorts. Lovein Christ to you both. "Jesus Saves"." (Unquote)

Chuck-JOHNEL: One can always hope so, but it is not likely. People will be indenial til it hits them like a ton of bricks - then it is too late. Their best hope is inthose of us who do prepare who are willing to share and be a help. A men.
