B.J. S. on April 30,2011 . (Quote) "Blessings to you in the Name above ALL names, Jesus/Yahshua our Messiah. May His hand be upon ALL of the Net of Prayer, their families and homes today forward. It has been awhile since I have written to you but it was suggested I write to tell about my seeing a large dragon in a tornado funnel in North Texas two weeks ago (the same one which hit Oklahoma, then Arkansas.) It is my belief that this same dragon created the damage in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, on April 27, 2011. I have two miracle stories to share with you, and by the grace and mercy of the Almighty, my daughter, son-in-law and grandson were spared, their home in northeast Alabama intact but lost power and telephones. one: St Is about the company my son-in-law works for. This company, Nucor Steel, is the largest producer of steel in America and says their only competitor is China with an inferior product. Michael (son-in-law) is a manager for the steel mill in Decatur, Alabama and he called me from work on the 28" and told me he was sitting in his office and could see all around him, and where there had been large companies and building, there was nothing but debris. He held back sobs when he told me that if you did not see the destruction with your own eyes, you would not grasp the enormous power of the tornadoes. Even the Nuclear Power Plant between Huntsville and Decatur, Alabama was severely damaged and will shut down for weeks. This company and its management have looked out for its employees for many years and thus God looked after the plant in Decatur and
elsewhere (they also have a plant in Tallahassee, Alabama. The plant lost major power for production but only one wall fell). When the economy began to drop several years ago, this
company did not lay anyone off, and all employees agreed to take less pay and hours until things picked up. Also, the Chairman, President and CEO (one nian) assisted any employee
who might otherwise default on any loan (this company calls its employees Family', no joke.) When the tornados went through on the 27`'', the company ordered some 600+plus

B.J. S. on A ril 30 2011. ( Quote continued) large generators shipped to the warehouse in Decatur and gave them out to all employees and the gas to run them, and did the same in Tallahassee. The company said for any employee with tornado damage, keep all receipts and what the insurance does not cover, they—the company—will cover. Was the company lucky? No! Luck had nothing to do with it and I do not believe in luck. They were blessed because they have blessed and continue to bless others. God Almighty, Himself, watched over them. Story Two : My daughter called me on the afternoon of the 28' from her house phone. She said that she was plugging and unplugging from the generator and al l her lights began to work, and her home telephone light came on also (all cell phone towers down, too). Without thinking, she picked it up and called me. The surprise or miracle is that she does not have long distance on her home telephone, just local calls and others can call her. The second miracle is that no one else around her has electricity. She told me that unless their electrical was connected to the sewer Lines, she has no idea why she has power. I just said "PRAISE GOD". She went to take a much-needed shower. As far as myself, I have had two surgeries in the past year and doing better each day. Times are hard and funds are tight but praise God for He is worthy, and I am still standing and will continue to do so." (Unquote)

( Quote) "Dear Chuck and Nancy, Sorry I've been so tardy with the
check. Sorry you are having to cut back. The economy is hard on many people. I've had to cut back, too, now that I'm retired. Chuck. I hope your health is improving, and that you are regaining energy and strength. Hope all your trees are doing good. Thank you for asking Net of Prayer members to pray for a miracle for me. God has taken very good care of me. The last chemo at the Block Medical Center was 4-21-11. The PET scan two weeks later showed no cancer in the organs, etc. But, there is something on the pubic bone that has shrunk. No radiation was needed. Praise to the Lord! Thanks for your prayers. I've been working out and going to throwing practice each week. Am learning to turn a 65-lb. saber. 1 can pick it up and run with it, but can't get it turned over yet. Have lost a lot of weight, too. My size 12s are getting big. Am working hard on press, getting sponsors and vendors for the IHGF World Championships in Scottish Heavy Athletes for AM men and women. I am very grateful to the Lord for every moment He gives me. I refuse to croak." (Unquote)

Sorry to be late in sharing, and pray many will take advantage of your kind brotherly offers. God bless. I met my wife in a bar. What a surprise; I thought she was home watching the kids. Faith F. On May . 4 2011. (Quote) "Dear Chuck-JOHNEL & Nancy-TONI, Hi. Been wanting to say a couple of things-here goes. When I look at who I am and where God has me placed presently, I feel so small and incapable of changing the world around me for the better. Yet, when I step back to see things from a bigger perspective, I'm delighted to find myself an indispensable part of God's intricate creation, and I'm delighted to find that He cares for me. I' m so glad to be part of the Net of Prayer, and am glad to be praying the Addressing Threats prayers. The things coining on our nation and the world are overwhelming. There's no way I can prepare for every shortage or disaster. But I find that to be the point: God didn't intend for me to conquer it all being self-sufficient. He wants me to come to Him. That's His purpose. And I'm glad to be coming to Him, praying His will into this earth, fulfilling my role. One more thing: as I Iook back over the last years of our marriage, I see God taking us in circles in different areas. For instance, we bought guns to prepare forY2K, sold them and gave away the money, bought guns again in 2002, sold them in 2010, and now we're getting guns again. From an outside perspective, it might look silly. But it's really neat to me to see what God has been doing in our hearts as we go round and round. The first guns we bought were out of fear, we needed to protect ourselves and our stuff. God lets us sell them and give the money away as He taught us to trust Him, not the guns. In 2002, we walked into the monthly meeting at your place just as Chuck started talking about guns. A bit later, Chuck said he didn't know why he was talking about guns, except lie had prayed to be Holy Spirit-led. We realized Jesus wanted us to start acquiring guns again, so we did out of obedience. Last year, we sold all our guns to Andrew's dad so we could get cash to pay bills. We thought we were scraping the bottom of the barrel. We listened to Lindsay William's report recently, in which he listed things to do to be prepared. One of those items was to get guns and ammo. We thought, "Okay, God, but with what money?" We prayed to rest, remembering the one prayer sheet that said, "Nothing my Father God has for me can be taken from me", to which I added, "Anything God doesn't want for me, I don't want". To wrap it up—to weeks ago Andrew's dad offered to trade us: we build him an animal barn and he pays us with the guns we sold him. Why? Because God is amazing!

uote continued I find He's not so concerned about the Faith F. On May 4, 2011. possessions, but He's really interested in my heart! It's easy for God to give us "stuff', what's valuable to Him is that I learn to trust Him. I'm amazed as I look around and see things happening in our life that I absolutely could not manufacture or influence. It's God moving things around in my life, showing me His capable hands and His desire for my attention." (Unquote) By JOIHNEL: ilmen , dear sister in Christ. Bookstore pickup line: "Have you seen a copy of "Tax Tips for Billionaires"? Lance T. on Mat , 2.2011 . (Quote) "Dear Nancy, Thanks so much for writing Manifesting
Christ. I wasn't going to read it but when you sent the survey I felt obligated and afterwards I was glad I read it. It was exactly what I needed to help me get back on the path. ...Okay, now to the hard part. I don't agree on the women talking in church thing. I think Paul meant what lie said. BUT, what I believe is that if God cannot find a man for the role, he will select a woman. It's like Deborah in the Old Testament. After all those male judges God chose Deborah. To me it's the same with you and Chuck. Chuck had some male co-prophets that were unacceptable and then came you. I actually left my first Church over that scripture. We had a woman pastor and when I read that, I said that I had to leave. It was a great spirit-filled church and later I really regretted leaving." (Unquote) Comment by C-JOHNEL: Don 't mean to be sha y p about this, but you said the church you left was a "great spirit _filled church. " Think about that, it was a church pastored by a female! Something does not add up here. If was/is a "shame " . for a woman to speak in the church, wh y would the HOLYSPIRIT he so present in that body of believers under the pastoral care of a woman? We know that the first century church had women as Apostles - not just being a pastor but being co-equal with the Apostle Paul, an Apostle of JESUS CHRIST. Yet while it was the Apostle Paul who wrote that it was "shameful for a woman to speak
in the church ". he also stated plainly that both male and female were co-equals in. Christ. A contradiction!? Or perhaps we do not understand what the Apostle Paul was talking about. The HOLY SPIRIT chewed me many years ago that when Paul spoke of "women " that he was not necessaril y speaking of females. In , fuct, the term "woman is more correctly applied to those who are soulish, both male and female.

Comment by C-JOHNEL: continued When the soulish (male or female) speak in the church they speak out of self (as in self-centered and carnal) that is shaniefirl because it stirs up the carnality of others in the body, as well as speaking out of the fallen nature. Ihave seen the "women" finale or female) speaking in the church, which invariably causes divisions, encourages unGodly behavior and is basically antiChrist in substance. Males like to say that females are "emotional ", which in their view disqualifies them from any role of leadership in the church. The soul of man is: (1) Mind, (2) Will and (3) Emotions, The male tends to work out of the "mind" and females out of the "emotions ", nonetheless on the balance sheets both are the same, one is not better than the other. ConcerningiJancy-TONI: Nancy-TONI, born in 1962, was sent into this world hyFATHER GOD to help me in His work. Others He called to the work failed, both males and , females;
but Nancy-TONI was His choice from the beginning. Others who worked with me were at best temporary helps or stand-ins until it was time for her to show. Keep in mind, that when JESUSfirst told inc about my "Godl y wife " she was only 8 years old (I didn 't know that then). Today is the fifth anniversary of my wife's thirty-ninth birthday. Rodger U. On September 20, 2011. (Quote) "Dear C-J and N-T...When I met you two . it was at one of your meetings you give everywhere you go. The meeting was informative, and because I follow your ministries closely, you didn't add much to my [cache]. After the meeting was over, everyone of course comes forward to chat. When I was addressed by you, Chuck, for the first time, you challenged me, `Have you made up your mind about me yet?' Now I realize that I scow because my mother told me so many times over my lifetime, you'll make permanent this look: Were you looking for a confrontation? Actually, I wasn't. You see, I read your hook, and that Angel that confronted the peace officer, is he still around? I'm taking no chances. Since meeting you, Jesus has, shall we say, impressed upon me the need to change, to be more like Him. No one has any idea what Jesus' Spirit has to deal with in me, but He is Lord. To get to the point of this letter, is the depth that the two of you take us, I would never come up with on my own. You do realize the mind-twisting research you get started by your words; my little brain is becoming like a sponge waiting for the next letter that attacks my unused, untested, little bubble, and pops it every so often. Good news is the Lord is everywhere in your wonderful pages and I know you lose sleep putting these pages together for us. For my part, thank you just isn't enough—How about I LOVE YOU ! The Word of the Lord, His Spirit, and Father God bless you and protect you all the days of your lives.

Rache! R. On September 20,. 2011 . (Quote) "Dear Chuck-J0HNEL, I hope you celebrated your 70' birthday in a big way. Please accept this late acknowledgment of your big day. On your birthday, I wanted to express my gratitude to you for something liuge! When you were being prepared to go to the Mountain of God, you said you were gradually, increasingly filled with light, which would enable you to withstand being in His presence. I am overwhelmed that you would ask God to do the same for us—to fill with light, so that we, too, could endure His presence. That you would do such a thing shows that you truly do love us. Thank you for being a reflection of God's love toward us, the N.O.P. To say, "this fills my heart with joy and gratitude" seems so inadequate as it is far deeper than that, and I cannot find the words to express my thanks to you. I am so glad that you are "retired" now, so that you can increasingly do that which you do so well—abiding in His Presence and then sharing with us what you glean from those precious moments with Him. Be increasingly blessed, you and Nancy-TON[." (Unquote) Chuck-JOHNEL reply: Thank y ou for the loving letter. Nancy-TONI will tell you that I'm not big on birthday partirs. Nonetheless, Jim-REPHEAL, Leith and Said took NancyTONI and I out fora birthday lunch. The owner, on learning that I 'd turned 70 asked how I looked so young. I pointed heavenward. He then asked, "How do you keep in shape?" I said, "I eat fudge every day! ' (no, I don't but it sounds like a great idea). You know he's a really good tax accountant when he's got a loophole named after him. Ed on Selrtember 22, 2011 . (Quote)". . .1 am about halfway through Nancy-TONI's book, Manifesting Christ. It is such a fine work and I'm really finding it helpful in my personal life, in Jesus. Over the years, reading sections in the newsletters on this subject, has been a heIp. But now, having what was in the reports condensed into book-format, is really great in my view. It pulls things together for me in a number of ways, and I really like the way it's written, in terms that can be understood (not a lot of big words), and the artwork, too. Having some knowledge in the deliverance ministry, I have always felt there was something missing. I feel this book fills that gap. When demons are cast out of a person, there needs to be a way to maintain that freedom. I have seen a person set free, only to return over and over, with the same problems. What's to be done? This book answers that

( Quote) "...Johnel, it is so heartbreaking to see the unrelenting weather-related judgments that are pouring down (literally) on our beloved nation. And no one in the media, or in my family, or in my circle of friends and acquaintances, dares to utter what is so obvious— God's anger is upon us . If we didn't abide in Christ and have His blessed peace filling us, how could we possibly live with the knowledge we have of the doom that is upon is? The pain and anguish of knowing what we know, mixed with the world's denial of judgment, is tough to deal with, for sure." (Unquote) Comment b y C-.TOHNEL: Amen!

Myrna B. On October 3, 2011 . (Quote) "I had to write and tell you this is the best newsletter. I so identified with the story God's way. This has been a 40-year journey for me (50 years since conversion). The vision has come and gone. I would see it as a spiritual refuge, then the promise of a physical one, already prepared. Then I see it as where we are—a lighthouse, growing food 12 months a year, well, wood-burner, all on l/3 rd acre. It's been a training ground. I can see myself in the story (God's way). The prayers are so witnessing with my spirit. I am 76 and I know there is much before me. 1 am seeing the need for the physical discipline, also, ie. exercise, healthy food, weight loss, etc. Matthew 7:13-14 is so real, and I am so thankful for the confirmation and encouragement to press on.

Faith F. On October 3, 2011. (Quote continued) correlation strongly in my own life over the last several years, as I have fretted over the slow progress of building our house. It has become very clear to me that this progress is directly linking to the "building" Jesus is doing in my heart: that as I nurture that abiding place in my heart for Jesus, He also opens the way for more work to be done on our house. Proverbs 25:28 "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls." I've seen my heart like that in the spirit—vulnerable to every passing wind or invader. But as Jesus builds me up, I will be a wall. I will be strong and nurtured in love, then, I will find favor in His eyes (Song of Solomon 8:10). The passage in Leviticus 26 is so real to me, as also is Deuteronomy 28. Through the Bible I keep seeing over and over: God wants me to relate with Him . That is the whole point of everything. When my face is toward Him, there is life, love, and favor. When my face is turned away from Him, that is the definition of hell in all its variations." (Unquote) "If you think women are the weaker gender, try pulling the blankets back to your side.

What would we do without you? Loved reading Foundations in the Spirit , all of it, but especially page 10, the part on the Cross. What Jesus did—why He did it, how we are affected and concerned—how it affects our lives. In the 1960s, I was very close to God in prayer and study. I had a vision, where I was standing on a grassy knoll. Not too far away was the mushroom cloud of a bomb that had been dropped. Couldn't get over how green and moist the grass was around me, and how bad it was where the bomb had hit, and it was so close. No explanation. After reading
this last letter, I wonder if it had anything to do with what we are looking at regarding green pastures. Oh, that you didn't have to work so hard.
