JESUS' WORD by HIS ANGEL to Chuck-JOHNELFebruary 20, 2009 12:20 Noon

"JOHNEL, THE LORD JESUS HAS SENT ME WITH THIS WORD.

DO NOT PRAY FOR THIS MAN, OBAMA, WHO OCCUPIES THE HIGHESTCHAIR IN THE LAND. INDEED, HE IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF BEING THEONE TO WHOM THE IRON ROD IS GIVEN; AND YET THIS HAS NOT BEENDONE BY THE FATHER AT THIS TIME.

IF YOU WILL PRAY, THEN PRAY AS YOUR BRETHREN DID DURING THEBLITZ, MISDIRECTING THE ATTENTION OF THE DESTROYER TO OTHERSOF LIKE KIND*. THIS MAN, OBAMA, IS FAR DEADLIER THAN ANYONEI MAGINES, ALL AROUND HIM ARE TAKEN IN BY HIS PERSONAL CHARMAND MAGNETISM AND THESE READILY EMBRACE THE IMAGE HE WORKSTO PORTRAY."

*Note - This is a reference to the work of prayer in England (Rees Howell's Intercessors)during the Nazi bombing attacks. This group of Christians prayed asking the Lord GODto cause Hitler to turn and invade the Soviet Union, lest the British Empire perish underthe massive attack of the Nazi's. That prayer was answered.

"DO NOT WRITE THIS MAN, OBAMA, AT THIS TIME. NONETHELESS, THELORD JESUS WILL HAVE YOU COMMUNICATE WITH HIM WHEN THISNATION FACES GRAVE DANGERS, TO PRESENT HIM WITH THEOPPORTUNITY OF DEFLECTING HARM TO MY PEOPLE." (Lord JESUS, wouldhe respond to any communication?) "HE WOULD ONLY IF IT IS IN HIS BESTINTEREST FOR THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT TRULY MOTIVATES HIM.

Comment by Chuck-JOHNEL: I see this Word given to Richard-DANIEL onFebruary 1, 2009 as pertaining/applying to everyone in the Body of Christ seekingan answer, help, direction, provision and/or insight/revelation . from the Lordconcerning their situation(s).

Excerpts of Richard-DANIEL 's comments of 2-14-09.

(Quote)". . ."Qbama" —he doesn't appear to be "operating" at fu 11-power at thispoint. Perhaps the demoni'ant1christ power isn't fully entered and overshadowed, only

it's a feint, a fake-out, a deception for the time. In a way, Obama almo St looks like anarrogant buffoon at times.

"Obama's bait-out" —amazing—it was voted on, a 1,400 page "bill" and no one readthe legislation. No one read it. This will appear to work in the short term, but is badnews that will contribute to our destruction, economically. The first act of Obama isactually disguised destruction!

Mercy period —MarchlApril through to September 2009—this is still holding things atbay. Most likely, Obama's full power will not be seen until the Fall of this year.*

...So. the plan is to:

(l.) Look to Jesus Christ and away from America as we've known it. That meanslooking upon the job, not as a job or career, but as Jesus' provision channel. That alsomeans to look away from America and the world as we have related to both all of ourlives.

(2.) Be vigilantly patient now in the focus upon and the beholding of Jesus Christ.

This God-given "approach" given to me spiritually by/through the Holy Spirit isenabling me to overcome the descending fear, anger, despair, and increasinghopelessness that is the fruit of the church system of man and the nation. Without this,I couldn't keep going as it is..." (Unquote)

PROPHETIC INSIGHTS OF APOSTLE DANIEL RODES(Permission to quote requested)

Bishop Daniel D. RodesTruth, Light and Life Ministry

P. 0. Box 70Mt. Crawford, VA. 22841

Truth Light & Lie Ministries International. Daniel Rodes, Februa • 13 2009.(Quote) "When the Lord told me that the vulture would replace the eagle in America,I i mmediately thought of death. He didn't say this, but I wonder if there will be a lotof people lose their lives..."

Note h Chuck-JOHNEL: Brother Rodes asked me for • my discernment on thisinsight and this is what I shared after prayer and doing a little concordance work.(Quote C -J) About the question you raised in regards to: "The Lord told me that thevulture would replace the eagle in America" - I did a little concordance study and aswe both know, the Eagle is symbolic of GOD or the SPIRIT OF GOD and it goes abit deeper as one looks at Ezekiel 10 (four faces - cherubirnJ.

The one Biblical reference to vultures is found in Isaiah 34: I5, but what drew myattention is the context of that chapter. It clearly speaks of the wrath of God,destruction by the sword and at the last, the leaders of the kingdom being "nothing"and the palaces .filled up with nettles and brambles, a habitation of dragons and acourt for owls. Afew verses later- vultures are mentioned.

Of course, the first thing that came to mind on reading "vultures " was "death" butIperceive the revelation is deeper than that.

We have been under the covering of the Eagle which represents GOD, THE SPIRITOF GOD. The Vulture clearly speaks of death but more, it speaks of this nationcoming under the "covering power of a spirit of death and ruin, " the opposite of thecovering power of the Eagle. This speaks of this nation being led under a spirit of

Page P6 The Staff and Sword Ministry/Prophecy March 5, 2009

EQuote.) by Chuck-.IOHNEL (Continued): death to death and destruction. More,Isaiah 34 and the mention of "vultures "comes a ier the nation (princes, palaces) andeverythingis destroyed. This suggests to me that "vultures "speaks ofsoniething thatis a done deal already - America is already destroyed.

Years ago (1979) JESUS told me plainly that "THIS IS A DEAD PEOPLEALREADY," and their unbelief was .foundational to their ruination and demise."(Unquote C-J)

I might add that Beastsnan Obarna is a known Communist and the Communists havea long history of slaughtering the populations they get power over - in the SovietUnion 70 million murdered, in Red China 200 million murdered, in Cambodia themmurdered 1/3rd of the population. I could go on and on, but the point is simple - thevulture is a symbol of death and the vulture (death) is an appropriate symbol ofCommunism which now has dominion over the United States. (See Leith'sDiscernment about "the vulture" on Pages 15 and 16 of this Report)

Prophetic message given by Brother Daniel D. Rodes - February 6, 2009:

The "LIES - DECEPTION WORD"

During a time of intercession for the nation and for the church. The Lord said."Deception will greatly increase year after year. In fact, the deception will he sostrong that it will affect every one. There will be dishonest people takingadvantage of you. Business places will be very unsafe to trust. Pastors will bemore deceitful than ever. There will be more and more lawlessness as thedeception increases. Many people who believe they are standing for the truth willeventually find themselves in a state of deception with no recovery. The Lordsaid those who do not love the truth will definitel y be deceived."

Several hours later, the Lord said, "The lying spirits have been released, not onlr-in America, but across the world. It will be difficult to trust anyone in the future,including those who call themselves Christians. People will begin to questioneveryone, including pastors, teachers, evangelists, etc. in the churches. They willoutright lie about church leaders. There will he a major attack on the Word ofGod. Also, they will question whether God's Word is the Word of God. Ministerswho claim to be sound in the faith will be tested to the limit. There will be suchwide spread lies and deception that it will be difficult for those who are not of anhonest heart to discern the differences."

Page P7 The Staff and Sword Ministry/Prophecy March 5.2009

Prophetic message given by Brother Daniel D. Rodes - February 8, 2009:

The Lord said, "There will be a wide spread destruction across America withunusual and severe storms. This will cause a great shaking here in America.There will also be extreme terrorist attacks on American soil. (I believe this canbe somewhat hindered if the intercessors take their job seriously.) Even nations andpeople who were once friendly toward Americans will rail against and supportthe destruction of America. I asked the Lord why this was happening. He said

because America at one time was friendly toward God and truth, she had

standards, she had law and order, but today, she has become lawless." Hereminded me of the time in March of 2008 when we were praying over the city ofWashington D.C. That day the Lord said to me, "The American eagle will bereplaced with a vulture. I immediately thought of death."

Prophetic message given by Brother Daniel D. Rodes - September, 2008:

"BEST and WORST PRESIDENT" WORD

The Lord said that, "He is going to give the USA an opportunity to vote for andelect the best President the United States has ever had. He will also give them achoice to vote for the worst President in United States histor y. He also told methat Mr. Obama is not a born citizen of the United States, but, throughdeception, the government will cover up this fact. He informed me that there willbe a national exposure of this truth and there will even be a lawsuit put againstthe government, but it will be eventually dropped because they consider Mr.Obama to be their choice of President." The Lord said. "This man would becomeour President if the people of God did not earnestly pray, but there wasn'tenough salt left in America to keep this evil from happening."

Note: Our churches, as well as many others, were in real battle, pleading withthe Lord not to allow this man to become our President since the Lord revealed to methat he is not a true American and does not have an appreciation for America, but will

"hide" his true agenda.

Just before Presidential nominee Obama was elected, he made numerousstatements that the Lord said were to warn the American people for the last time thatthis man is dangerous. He is not an American, he does not have the American dream,but will eventually insist that all people become Muslim (although he calls himselfa Christian ).' 1 (Unquote)

Comment by Chuck-JOHNEL ; When I read hr-other Rodes Word about the "Best

Page P8 The Staff and Sword Ministry/Prophecy March 6, 2009vin nterrtbby Chuck-JOHNEL (Continued): and Worst "Presidents - well, I ne'

who the "worst was " - Beastman Obama, hands down!

But who might be the 'Best" President? He would have to be among the candidates.It was easy to nix out all the Democratic candidates - none qualified, and althoughany of them would be better than Obaina, none fit the "Best " category - not evenclose!

When I looked at the ranks of the Republicans and Libertarians and other (miscl.)candidates, Igot the same discernment - none really)it, not even Huckabee: thougha pastor, Christian and a nice guy, he was not the "best" for An?erica. MaybeHuckabee was in the "area " but not the in the bull's-eye fbr "best ".

I didn 't trouble too much about this aware that the Lord JESUS could make itobvious in a flash - I was waiting for that "flash of insight."

Then on February 26, 2009 I caught a brief snippet on the O 'Reilly Fa ctor TV show,where O'Reilly referred to this, 'far right guy' (African-American, fornzerArnbassadorALANKEYES) who made this comment that day: "Obania is a radicalCommunist and I think it is becoming clear, and that is what I told people inIllinois and now everybody realizes it is true, that he is going to destroy thiscountry. We are either going_ to stop him or the U.S.A. will cease to exist. " AlanKeyes.

I now remembered at the very first Republican debate Alan Keyes appeared with allthe Republican candidates and addressed the woes of.America in a stra ight-forward,no fooling around, politics aside answer: In essence, Alan Keyes told the nation thatour troubles in the schools is that we have taken GOD out of the classroom thus theviolence, the lack of'discipline and moral behavior and why learning is so poor. Headdressed the problem in America as having to do with the rejection of GOD throughJESUS CHRIST and that we will fall as a nation ifwe do not turn around. He wouldessentially say, "People have wanted a candidate who could turn America around,I'm that man, they have been given a choice."

I rernemberthe other Republican candidates (Huckabee included) laughed at Keyes,some openly mocked him (McCain among them).

When we saw this Beastman Obama/Clinton in the GAP in 1987 it was crystal clearthat their primary objective was to, "Destroy Christian America. "I've made that

Page P9 The Staff and Sword Ministry/Prophecy March 6, 2009

Comment by Chuck-JOHNEL (Continued): crystal clear from the offset, startingback in 1982, then in 1987 and all through to this time. To hearAlan Keyes draw thi sconclusion as he stated earlier (I was unaware of that) and re-stated February 26`''agrees perfectly with what we have known all along.

I discern this , was the `flash of insight" that identified the "Best" inan forPresident as being African-American Alan Keyes.

DR. DANIEL E. BOHLER' S PROPHETIC WORD

"WARNING" (permission to quote requested)

Dr. Daniel E. Bohler, PastorAgape Harvest Church Ministries

P. 0. Box 1415Blue Springs, MO 64013

Dr. Daniel E. Bohler On Februar y 7 2009. "Warning". (Quote) "There has beeninside of me a great concern for the Washington, D.C. area and the government of theUnited States as a whole. I have questioned the Lord on how to pray. It seems eachday it changes in the way He has me praying for this President and the many otherareas of our nation. But one thing I know, the warfare for the soul ofthis nation is thehighest I have ever discerned. I am very concerned for the cold hearted Christians.

I see terrorist activity changing in their plans for this country. I see one verywell timed attack which is timed to go off one right after the other. For example, I seeteams of men positioning themselves in different locations across the country. Thisis part of what I saw in 1997 when I had the visitation from the Lord of which avideo was made about this. Part of what I saw has happened, but the bigger pictureis to come, and it is imminent.

We are in great trouble. So many areas are so easy to get to and will causemuch death and destruction from New York to San Francisco, to hotels, biggambling casinos, shopping malls, rural mid-American cities, schools, colleges,trains, etc. We have had train attacks over the past five years that were reported asaccidents.

America's landscape is about to be changed. The great shaking of the earth thatyou have heard me talk about is upon us, as well as the great power outages in certainareas. We have experienced many but more are coming.

We need to pray but also keep our eyes and ears open. This 2009 is going tobe an unusually unsafe year. We must be ready mentally, spiritually and physically,

Page PIO The Staff and Sword Ministry/Prophecy March 6, 2009

Dr. Daniel E. Bolder On February 7, 2009. `Warning". (Quote Continued)have a place to meet all of your family in a certain specific place if different areas areunder martial law so we can help each other and comfort one another and pray forprotection. Plead the Blood of Jesus.

Ever since the warring angel came to my living room and spoke with me, thishas increased inside of me. If you remember, in early 2008 an angel appeared in ourliving room. He had a golden skull cap on his head. It looked like what a Romansoldier would wear from pictures I have seen. He began to look over at me and said"I am your warring angel." Well, within 36 hours, across the road from us, ourfriend's building was broken into. Many valuable tools were stolen, such as anexpensive chain saw. Then the home behind our property was broken into and burnedto the ground with the cars in the garage. I went over to see this the next day. Thefiremen said the people who stole the chain saw took it and cut through the back door.

The family was not home. The thieves continued up the road, breaking into housesand stealing. We were spared by our war angel for which I am so thankful.

I have had a knowing since that day that everything was going to get moredangerous all over the nation. The economy was not the headlines at that time andunemployment was not as high as it is now. We must not be slothful in our thinkingand in our prayer life. Well meaning, good friends, a fleshly lifestyle and televisioncan really hinder us.

Unprecedented natural disasters are at hand. The bird flu is killing over 60% ofthe people who have contacted it. 100% of the birds die that have had this plague. It'snot a matter of if. . .it's WHEN! Because several cases have already appeared.President Bush went to the Congress to get orders to have Martial Law activated whenthe bird flu plague spreads. Scientists say that hundreds of millions of people will diein a very short length of time.

Mark 24 says that many will fall away and deceive one another. Because of thelawlessness many people's love will grow cold. This lawlessness is being seeneverywhere and we must not let our love for one another grow cold.

This economic meltdown is causing cold-hearted Christians to become like theworld, This kind of thinking can get you killed. The bird flu plague will not pass overus if we are not walking with our Lord. I was shown this plague in 1997 in a visitation

from the Lord. He took me to Ezekiel 32 and told me to put in the leader of this nation

where it said `A Pharaoh' and to put in the United States where it said `An Egyptian'

and that this chapter explains what is coming to the United States. He let me put a

little of what I saw on the video, God's Divine Judgment . I will be making another

one soon for the Lord has given me permission to give more explicit details to help

the body of Christ prepare and be in a position to help themselves and others.

Dr. Daniel E. Bolter On February 7, 2009. "Warning". (Quote Continued)In closing, let me say, as a Seer, I see things. Please pray. In this attack

that's coming, I see very, very small cars being used and very smal I airplanes andvery small, little people carrying explosives, people that have lived in America a longtime. I see domestic terrorism picking up all through the land.

Please be careful where you go, and pray!" (Unquote)

Michael Boldea Jr. On January 20. 2009"A Dream-As Promised".

(Quote) "...A quarter of a century is a long time no matter how you slice it, or whatangle it is viewed from. To be honest, I was not in what one might call a celebratoryframe of mind. In these twenty-five years I have laid to their final rest a grandmother,a grandfather, and a mother. I have known betrayal at the hands of men I consideredbrothers in Christ and friends fueled by something as unoriginal and despicable asgreed. I have preached messages few wanted to hear, and have been despised for mystubborn unwillingness to compromise the word of God.

Throughout the entirety of the mission trip, one question kept nagging at me,always somewhere in the back of my mind. Even though the trip turned out to be anencouraging and re-energizing blessing, and I saw hunger in the hearts of the peoplefor the truth of God's word, feeling the presence of God in a deep and powerful way,I took no pleasure in the thousand plus crowds or their hearty applause. This onequestion kept echoing in my ears, and as yet I had received no answer. The questionwas simple: Is there still a need for a prophetic warning ministry once a nation hasentered the season of fulfillment? 4

To me, a warning is a counsel or admonition to desist from a specifiedundesirable course of action. When someone is warned, that which they are warnedagainst is unavoidable. Take for instance the reduce speed, winding road ahead'signs. One is warned to reduce their speed, due to the fact that tight curves are justahead, but if they refuse to heed the warning, then they will suffer the consequencesof their actions. I believe God has stopped warning for some time now, due to thisnation's unwillingness to heed His warnings. His judgments are no longer avoidable,and the fulfillment of what has been spoken is visible even to those with no propheticbackground.

I arrived back home after the week-long tour, and still the initial thought wouldnot leave. As I began to further ponder this question, I began thinking to myself thatmaybe this was God's way of telling me I in fact could go back to my homeland, thatI had done my duty, I had fulfilled my mission, I had preached, I had warned, I had

Page P12 The Staff and Sword Ministry/Prophecy March 6, 2009

Michael Boldea Jr. On January 20, 2009 (Quote Continued) shared thedreams and visions, and now I was free to have a normal life, to spend time with mywife, have some children, maybe even buy a dog.

One thing that those who know me have grown to understand is that I am notin ministry to get rich or famous, to build a kingdom on earth or have my own facestaring back at me from a bookshelf. I am in ministry out of obedience to God, andwill not be in it one day longer than God desires me to be. Obedience keeps me; it'sjust that simple. Two days after arriving home I had pretty much talked myself intobelieving that I had received my release to move back home. Since I was flying backfor Christmas, to be with the family, I began thinking why not just stay? Twenty-fiveyears is a long time, no one could blame you if you stayed'.

That same night I had a dream. I dreamt I was standing at the edge of a cliff,overlooking a valley that stretched out below me. Although it was night, the valleywas not dark due to the dozens of fires that were burning all around the valley. Largewhite tents peppered the valley floor, and men dressed in white were hurriedlypreparing. Some were sharpening swords, others were polishing shields, but theselfsame look of purpose and determination was evident in the countenance ofeveryone.

As I continued watching I was startled when a hand touched my shoulder. Iturned and stood face-to-face with the same man I had seen in my dreams on previousoccasions.

"What do you think they are doing down there?" he asked pointing towardthe valley and the men.

"It looks like they're preparing far a war, " I said gazing back at the valley."And what do you call a soldier that flees the battlefield on the eve of

battle?""A deserter, " I said."A deserter" he echoed. "Why would the Father train and equip you toi- the

coming battle only to release you as the battle is about to begin? You think thisis the end but it is not. The need for light is multiplied as the darkness grows, notdiminished; the need for truth becomes more necessary as deception consumesthe innocent, not less relevant. In these dark hours the children of light mustshine, in these evil days the truth must be proclaimed with boldness. You canchoose to flee, but it is not the Father's will. You can stay and fight, and thusreceive your just reward. The world has tainted many who ought to have stayedpure, and many have defiled themselves on Nebuchadnezzar's delicacies, therebydisqualifying themselves from being used in these days. The hosts of heavenstand ready even now to do battle on behalf of the righteous. Do not fear the

Page P13 The Staff and Sword Ministry/Prophecy March 6, 2009

Michael Boldea Jr. On January 20 2009 (Quote Continued) coming daysfor they have been foretold. Walk in the authority that has been given you, anddo your duty as a faithful soldier ought to."

As the man finished speaking, I opened my eyes and was surprised to discoverI was in my bed.

Some may wonder why I share this dream, because well, it is not very flattering.In fact I got taken to the proverbial woodshed as the saying goes, but lest we forgetthe Lord chastens those He loves, and I am ever thankful that He loves me, andsuffers my frailty.

I do not know how, but I know that God will make a way. The truth for needis evident. Not my truth, but God's truth, not the truth of any particular denomination,but the truth of God's Holy Word.

As human beings, men and women made of flesh and hone, we make plans, wehave hopes and we envision a certain kind of future, but all our hopes and dreams, allour plans must be surrendered, in perfect harmony with the will of God for only inHis will are peace, joy and comfort abundant and ever present.

We are on the precipice of volatile and troubling times, witnessing a rapidlychanging world. There is a great upheaval corning in the spiritual, just as in thephysical, and God will sift those who call themselves His children first and foremost,separating that which is righteous from that which is defiled. We must stand in therighteousness of God, having His Word as our standard and our foundation that wemight not be swayed by the winds, or uprooted by the storms. In order to overcomeone must face conflict and not flinch from battle, but an unprepared soldier whosearmor is not on, and whose weapons are unknown to him, is easily overtaken by anenemy whose bloodlust knows no bounds. Our faith and obedience will carry usthrough the darkest of nights, because when faith and obedience are p .resent the lightof God shines brighter than the sun, dispelling the darkness.

Romans 16:19-20 "For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore Iam glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simpleconcerning evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. Thegrace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen." (Unquote)

(Quote) Bobby Conner: "A season of change and a time of testing are upon us".The strong winds of change are upon us! These are defining decisive days of

transformation and change. No one will remain neutral—there is no middle ground.

Page P1.4 The Staff and Sword Ministry/Prophecy March f, 2009

Baby Connor Quote continued This is the year you wi 11 make greatadvance or fall far behind in the Kingdom of God. You hold the key! The choice isup to you. Will you respond to the guidance of the Holy Spirit or will you walk bythe light of your own fire?

"Look, all you who kindle a fire, who encircle yourselves with sparks: Walkin the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled. This you shall have fromMy hand: You shall lie down in torment." Isaiah 50:11

The people of God must be prepared for these definitive days.. The Spirit ofGod is calling for a mobilization and marshalling of the army of God; it is time fortroop deployment. The word mobilization deals with preparing the forces for action.The word marshalling deals with the gathering and organizing of troops.

We are called and commissioned for more than just sitting still and quiet in achurch pew, it is time for a true revolution of love and loyalty. We are called toconfront the kingdom of darkness. The word revolution deals with the overthrow ofan evil government.

If you are concerned about modern-day trends toward permissiveness,promiscuity, and rebellion against the precepts of God, you will find these days oftesting to be very needful. This will be a time of severe testing.

The Spirit of Truth is calling for an examination of what we trul y believe. It istime for a real reality check! No longer can we just talk. It is time to -walk out whatwe say we believe. It is time to be doing the Word, not just hearing and speaking it.

"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For ifanyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his naturalface in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets whatkind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continuesin it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one wil I be blessed inwhat he does." James 1:22-25

This is not the time for dead dry man-directed religion. Mere talk will not getus to where we need to go, it is going to take action and anointing. "For the Kingdomof God is not in word but in power." I Corinthians 4:20

The Body of Christ knows far too much to be living as low as we are living.Never forget faith without works is dead.

"But do you want to know, 0 foolish man, that faith without works is dead?Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on thealter? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faithwas made perfect?" James 2:20-22

The Spirit of God is calling for a time of testing to reveal the condition of ourspiritual foundation. "Vindicate me, 0 LORD, for I have walked in my integrity. I

Bobby Connor (Quote continued) have also trusted in the LORD; I shall notslip. Examine me, 0 LORD, and prove me; try my mind and my heart". Psalm 26:1-2

Be very sure that God is going to dig deep during these days. This is not timeto attempt to cover up and conceal sin. "He who covers his sins will not prosper, butwhoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy". Proverbs 28:13

It is time to come clean, "Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let uscleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in thefear of God". II Corinthians 7:1

God is going to reveal what many have been busy seeking to conceal. It will

be very unwise to attempt to cover up our secret sins. Numbers 32:23 warns that wecan be sure our sins will be exposed, "But if you do not do so, then take note, youhave sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out."

In 2 Corinthians 13:5-6, Paul instructs us to test ourselves to make sure ourlives are solid, "Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith." testyourselves. Do you no know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? —Unless indeedyou are disqualified. But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified."

We should ask God to reveal any hidden area of our heart, "Search rne, 0 God,and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties". Psalm 139:23

We cannot know our own heart because it can and will deceive us, "The heartis deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, theLORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to hisways. According to the fruit of his doings." Jeremiah 17:9-10

It is time to seek the Lord until He comes and rains righteousness on us. (Hosea10:12)" (Unquote)

Leith Lopez's Discernment of Februat 20, 2009.On "The Vultures" (Brother Rodes Revelation, - see Pages 5 & 7)

(Quote) "Dear CJ and NT, greetings! Chuck, you asked me if I'd discerned what the`vulture replacing the eagle' might mean? I've prayed for discernment for two daysand I'm pondering this:

Obarna Administration (equals =) Church system of man (equals =)vulture in office (vulture meaning an evil spirit who claims to be Christian but inreality, operates in the flesh and not God's spirit, and is deceptive, dangerous andturns people away from Jesus Christ and His Word).

Eagle (equals =) God's protection over America, spiritual -wisdom, andcourage.

Vulture (equals =) spiritual death, evil, deception.

Leith Lopez's Discernment of Fe/,ruaiy_20, 2009 (Continued)America (under 0bama's administration—also reflecting Church system of man)

is being displaced (taken out) from under God's protection and being replaced underthe Church system of man which brings spiritual death to American people who arenot God's chosen people or God's chosen people to come.

American people will be easily deceived, and left unprotected by God's handsthat have been removed from protecting America. Christians will be silenced by evilspirits who pretend to be Godly spirits, and Christians will be lead astray from theirfaith in Jesus Christ.

Chuck, this is what I see and know to be true and what the vulture replacing theeagle means.

Also, I did some research and included excerpts you would be interested inbelow." (Unquote)

Below is infos-mation from a webs ite:... (Quote) "The vulture .spirit has alsobeen sent to silence the voice of the p rophets. The vulture and the eagle are bothbirds of prey. The eagle represents the p rophetic, and the vulture represents thecounterfeit, which opposes the p rophetic voice. This spirit will cause some to speakby the , flesh and call it the Spirit.

This same spirit will cause some to issue warnings to the propl?ets to be quietbecause God isn 't speaking at this time. Clever plan, but it is flawed. If God is notspeaking then there will be no hearing the word of'the Lord. if God is speaking, thenHe has not told the prophets to be silent unless He tells an individual to hold a wordfor a later time. Nevertheless, this spirit will deceive some and cause them to stoppositioning themselves to receive the word of the Lord. This vulture spirit is verydangerous, as it will try to create a famine of the true word of'God and also bringforth words born of flesh and not Spirit.

The vulture spirit will promote the war between the Spirit and the flesh. Thisspirit will not only feed on the flesh, but it will cause the carnal church to rise upagainst the true, spiritual church. This is the same kind of spirit that caused the chiefpriests and elders to demand the death of'Jesus. The civil war in the church is aboutto begin, and a great carnage is about to take place. Satan 's greatest desire is to killGod's people, and his demonic spirits desire to feed on the carrion. " (Unquote)

CLOSING COMMENT b y Clauck-JOHNEL: I'm seeing two extremes in the prophetic

realm today: (I) The hope that concerted prayer can turn it around, (2) A sense ofhopelessness, leading to giving up and pulling out. JESUS has made it plain to me that weare IN the judgment" and will only go deeper - some may yet turn back (see Brian H'sletter in WE GET LETTERS Page 17-18). The hope is to prepare and forewarn those whowill heed before the full judgment closes on this nation and world. Time is up! God Bless.
