OPPOSITION

Greetings in Jesus' name. The enemy is furious over what is happening from the Father, and there is opposition all around. Recently I saw a huge wall of opposition from Satan. It looked like a huge cloud barrier, from the top of the sky to the ground, stretching from one side of the horizon to the other. As there is opposition, there is help. This morning we woke up to a windstorm and Silvana said immediately that it is a sign of the opposition. Earlier I was putting up the post on this blog about mailing the package to Rwanda. I was at the very end of the post and Jesus said, "Save it". So, I right clicked and saved what I had written. It was not five seconds later that the site went down. I tried to reopen the page where I had been writing and was not able to do so. But, thanks to Jesus, I had it saved and could post it later.

Therese and Anthony, her 18 year old son, who are working together while Doug recovers from his hospitalization, were cleaning at a church (cleaning the carpets with the business van) and they had a problem with the van. Therese asked Jesus for help and He said, "You will fix it". Just a minute later Anthony moved things around in the van and saw that a toggle had gotten switched wrong, and they were able to proceed with the cleaning. Five minutes after that, the cleaning solution would not come out. This time Anthony asked Jesus to help. Then he looked at his mom with a smile and said, "NOW is Jesus saying we will get it". Seconds later, he suddenly thought, "Well, did I do... such and such...." and he ran out to the van and was able to get the solution flowing again. These may sound like small problems, but they would affect us. We can't afford to lose a $200 cleaning job, and opposition to writing to you, is opposition to food for you from what the Father is saying and doing. In the post talking about the danger of deafness, I mentioned by the Holy Spirit that now has come the time that people must be able to hear the Father's voice and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and that time has come. Jesus is quick to help, to those who are quick to hear.

We suffered minor problems, but there is greater opposition to those who are doing the Father's will. Kenneth Ezra went to church where they publicly humiliated him by rejecting him when he went up to say what the Father is doing in sending the pictures of Jesus into Rwanda. They asked for testimonies and three people went up. Two gave their testimonies and the church clapped. When it came time for Kenneth Ezra, the pastor asked him what he wanted to say, then told him he would tell the church later and sent Kenneth to sit down. Imagine how he felt in front of all the people. Then, the pastor proceeded to try to raise money for the new building that is under construction for their church. The Holy Spirit said to me, "It will be a miracle if that new building gets built". Why should it be finished? It should represent them - the church - falling into pieces. They had opportunity to hear what the Father is doing for their neighbors, who suffered terribly at Satan's hands, and they just couldn't take the time to even hear about it, let alone ask Jesus about it.

Brother Elijah in Hawaii suffered the same reaction from the church where he attends. He received the pictures of Jesus with joy, ready to share them with others, and the church took down the picture he put up for them, and said, "You are on your own. That is your own ministry." So Jesus, who could comfort some who come to the church, is taken down, so they can concentrate on their own ideas, their own plans. The Head of the Church has been taken down, and they are too religious and self-absorbed to even notice!

Silvana told me just a few days ago that she saw a vision of the church being broken into pieces and people coming out of it. Yes, the Father would take them out. Let them flee from the religious, for the enemy moves among them easily, without detection, and Jesus is rejected among them.

PACKAGE MAILED FOR RWANDA

Greetings in Jesus' name. Yesterday we mailed out the package for Rwanda to Brother Kenneth Ezra in Uganda. The package was mailed at 3:50 PM. We sent 5000 of the new pictures, each one strung and ready to be worn around the neck. We sent 500 of the glossy photo pictures (non laminated) that we send to prisoners. We sent 4 large 8x10s, 5 DVD copies of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, 50 small "write to us for free pictures" cards, each with a small picture of Jesus, 8 of the 4"x6" laminated pictures. We also sent 12 copies of the Swahili translation of the tract JESUS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME, and 12 copies of the Kinyarwandan translation of the same tract. We are hoping that Kenneth Ezra can find a copy shop to get copies made to distribute. If not, he can give the pastors one or two and they can contact us for more copies or for money to have them copied. We also included a "representative of Operation Jesus Pictures" card for Brother Kenneth, for his safety, because of the political unrest in the region. THANK YOU, FATHER! God bless and protect Brother Kenneth Ezra.

The Father's prophet in the United States, Silvana Lupetti, put oil on her hands and her tears on her hands, and put her hands all around on the box of pictures that we sent. Only the Father understands what that brings in His Spirit. How deep is His love and His sorrow over what happened, and great is His desire to bring healing there. This is war, and our Commander in Chief who leads us is one who voluntarily laid down His life for the murdered, and for the murderers too.

We have put a $500 payment on the printing of the new pictures (105,000) - the next $500 is due on May 1st, we paid for the Kinyarwandan translation, we have the money to send for the Swahili translation, we paid for the mailing of the package, which did not end up being as much as they said. It only cost $110.15 to mail. Remaining costs are: custom duties in Uganda, and we don't know how much that will be, and the money for Kenneth Ezra to travel by bus and eat and stay in Rwanda for the days he is there, which is $365, plus the Western Union fee to send it, which is probably around $20, or so. We don't have all the money now, but the Father said that we will when we need to send it. (We are going to send the money to Kenneth by Western Union, because that is instant.) We also need the money to mail the pictures to Tanzania, plus all the pictures to other places that we have promised. We have a bin waiting to be mailed, that contains packets that are ready, for which we do not yet have postage.

Therese called Felicia while she was at the Post Office mailing the package. Together they were praying for its safe delivery. Therese saw in the Spirit, the enemy desiring to oppose the package. Then, Felicia saw a long line of angels, stretching from where we mailed the package, to Uganda. The angels were preparing to hand the package, hand to hand, all the way there, to make sure it was safe. Last night I dreamt that Jesus was in the back seat of a yellow taxi. The Holy Spirit was in the front seat (He was the driver.) They were waiting - Jesus had his door open - for the pictures to arrive so they could take them to the people.

Silvana saw those dressed in white, who have been murdered in Rwanda, gathering to watch as the pictures approach their nation on earth. Somberly they watch the progress of the pictures, as Jesus moves towards the people with healing in His wings, as the Holy Spirit described it.

Before I went to sleep last night, I lay in my bed and I begin to weep, thinking of the terrible things done in Rwanda. They chopped up children in front of their parents: horrible things were suffered by many, many people. I cried out to Jesus to bring the pictures to the survivors, to help them, to heal them, to bring the pictures and His Spirit to those most wounded, those most traumatized. The dream of the taxi is His answer: He will do so. And we will send more pictures to Rwanda another day, as Brother Kenneth is willing to make more trips, or as others within Rwanda contact us. All we need to do this is money. Pray for us for provision, and we urge you to join us, because this calling from the Father is one that hits directly into the territory formally lorded over by the enemy. We have prisoners writing to us for pictures, we get requests from all over the world. Brother Joseph and the Believers with him are waiting for more pictures and for the books we want to send to them for their children's schooling. Pray for us and if you can join us, then now is the time to act. The Holy Spirit said not too long ago, that it is time for the people to God to put their tithes towards the work that He is doing, and not to the ineffective and self-absorbed church. The church is us: those who are doing the will of the Father in Jesus' name.

Update on sending pictures of Jesus to Rwanda: sent to mailing list on April 1, 2006

Greetings in Jesus' name. We want to give you an update on the pictures of Jesus going into Rwanda for Easter 2006, and to ask you to pray for us and for Kenneth Ezra, and for everyone involved with sending the pictures to Rwanda. We have received 10,000 of the 105,000 pictures we ordered and they are beautiful. They are the texture of a playing card, and the picture of Jesus is clear and lovely. However, since we are sending this 10,000 to Rwanda, as could be expected, the enemy is opposing us.

Just after he agreed to take the pictures of Jesus to Rwanda for Easter, Kenneth Ezra had a malarial attack, combined with stomach problems, which put him in the hospital in Uganda, where he lives. The Father graciously helped him and he was able to be released in a day or two. Doug Cooper has a blood clot in his leg, which is life threatening, and he was admitted to the hospital here in New Mexico, USA, until the blood clot thins and leaves his body. (He is expected to be there for two more days.) Doug runs the business, and this is an attack by the enemy on Doug himself and on our income, because there are all our bills, plus outstanding costs for sending the pictures and the tract, JESUS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME, which has been translated into Swahili and Kinyarwandan. Therese is working with their son, Anthony, in Doug's place. Please pray for them and for the business.

(Thanks very much in Jesus to Robert H for the money to pay for the translation into Swahili. Mary B and Felicia also gave money to send the pictures for Easter. Felicia saw in the Spirit when she gave the money for this project: she saw the money she gave as though it became a white dove, and it flew off for noble purposes.)

Doug is on his hospital bed stringing the pictures of Jesus, and the nurses have been coming in and out to get pictures from him to give to patients and to others. Silvana has had a terrible cough with fluid in her lungs and has been on a sickbed for days. Char is getting sick also, while Therese is recovering from sickness. Jordan has had a fever. Please pray for all of us, for healing and strength. At times we can literally feel the enemy's presence as he opposes us and the pictures of Jesus. The Father showed His prophet, Silvana, that the loss that the enemy had suffered recently is the loss occurring as the Holy Spirit and many angels go with the pictures into Rwanda, and Tanzania, and Uganda, both nations which received refugees from Rwanda during and the horrific genocide. Satan has been doing unspeakable acts there, and in many places in Africa, during the slaughter in 1994, and up to this very day. We also have opportunity to send pictures to Kenya.

Through the opposition, problems arose at the printers as the pictures were being printed: one: the drill bit broke so Mark was unable to punch the holes for stringing the pictures, and two: there was an error in the layout of the pictures, which delayed their finish. We were able to pick them up late last night. Because of the delay, now our postage cost in mailing them will likely be tripled, or more. We had allotted $100 for postage, but it may cost $350 instead, in order to arrive in time for Kenneth Ezra to bring the pictures to Rwanda for Easter 2006, which is the day that the Father called THE DAY OF THE MURDERED.

There are fifteen days left to Easter. Stand and pray for us and we urge you in Jesus' name to help in any way that you are able with this project. We have given the printer $500 towards the $1735 total (he said he would accept payments, for which we are grateful and we thank him) and we still need to cover the cost of the postage, the translation into Kinyarwanda, Kenneth's travel money, print costs for tracts, and a few other expenses.

We have posted an email from Kenneth Ezra. You can see as you read his letters why the Father chose him to carry out this important mission, which is to get the anointed pictures of His Son into the hands of the survivors and the murderers from that Satan-inspired tragedy in Rwanda. The email shows Kenneth's travel plans as he goes on his trip on Jesus' behalf.

- Travel plans: churches, orphanages, hospital, directly to the people

God bless Kenneth Ezra. The Father said recently that people should start to consider using their tithes to help Him with what He really is doing in this world. Brothers and sisters, PLEASE HELP US, IN JESUS' NAME.

With all our love in Jesus,

I SAW SATAN WEEPING: from March 30, 2006

The other day, while lying on my sickbed, the Father came to me, took my hand and led me away with Him in the Spirit. I found myself rushing towards something, an image which soon became clear. It was Jesus, who was weeping over Jerusalem. I saw the words from the Bible, just those two words, "Jesus wept". I saw His face with the tears running down, His hands were clasped over His heart, and He was rocking back and forth. The Father was standing next to me, silent. I looked at His face and He had tears in His eyes. My heart was overflowing for Jesus and the Father.

Then the Father took my hand again and we went away from Jesus. Soon I saw another image growing larger as we approached. The Father and I were now standing in a darkened room. I knew it was light outside but the windows were covered in black cloth with just the edges of light coming in. It was very dim. I heard a sound, and looked and saw a figure. It was Satan on his knees with the palms of his hands on the floor. I heard a gutteral sound, something like a wailing, mixed with anger. He was also weeping. I saw the tears. He too, was rocking back and forth. I looked at the Father and He was looking at me.

I saw what was in the Father's mind. There was Satan, and I knew that he was weeping in frustration, rage and self-pity. I saw into him that he was crying for himself. All the tears were flowing for nothing else. Only self. He was angry at being recently defeated by the Father in something. He was thinking about how unfair the Father was treating him. Thing after thing in his mind came crashing in: self-self-SELF. Then I turned to look back at Jesus and I saw His tears, and not one of them were for Himself. No. All His tears were for us. He was thinking of our blindness and our darkness, and how He wants to change all that, how He wants us to be free. All His tears were flowing for our welfare and our freedom from darkness.

What a contrast it was; how different were the tears. And I saw how precious just one tear from Jesus really was. How full of love and value, more than words could ever express. As I looked into the Father's eyes I saw another building full of people, and I knew it was the church. And I saw, as the Father showed me, into their spirits. I saw the same thing that I saw in Satan. Mostly just self. Feelings, thoughts, of how they were at the moment. I saw how little room there was in them for much else. There was a sliver of space for Jesus, but mostly there were thoughts that had much to do with what was happening to them. I realized that Jesus had none of that. All His thoughts were based on how to help us. How I wished He could see the same selflessness in us, but I knew it was not so. How I wished that we could all join together as His Body, thinking of how to help Him reach out, how to help Him as He is throwing out His arms to draw the people of the world to Himself. But I know how little of that happens, as those thoughts of self crowd out our connection to Him.

Then the Father spoke to me, "One tear of compassion for others, one tear of caring love and pity, I VALUE ABOVE ALL THE RICHES OF THE EARTH".

I knew that Satan was hiding his tears in that darkened room. He surely did not wish that anyone knew he was weeping, for that would be humiliating to him. And then the Father took my hand and brought me back to my bed. How my heart was moved for His love, and His tears. I want to help Him in any way He would ask. And I want the world to know what is in His great heart. He wants me to tell of this as an appeal to those who call Him by name. WHAT WILL YOU DO FOR HIM? And to tell you, that He wants to lead us in helping Him. Make room in your hearts for whatsoever He asks; make room by throwing out the thoughts of self. Think of the cross, and then it will not be so hard to do. The Father is moving with power in the earth as warfare rages on. The contrast between Jesus and evil has never been so clear. Help others by lifting up our Jesus to them. Help those who are doing this in the world, as Jesus leads. By doing this you will help to dry the tears of Jesus and the Father. And that I would do even to death. Will you? The way is clear, the door is open.

Pictures of Jesus to Rwanda: sent to mailing list on March 20, 2006

Greetings in Jesus' name. Recently we sent to you the post titled, THE DAY OF THE MURDERED, in which the prophet Silvana Lupetti comments on the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, and the Father's plans to move by His Holy Spirit on Easter this year, with remembrance for those who have been murdered. That email post was sent on March 6, 2006, and on March 14, we received a request for free pictures of Jesus from someone who lives in the nation of Uganda. Jesus told us to ask the man who requested pictures (a college student named Kenneth) if he knew someone who could take some pictures of Jesus to a church or to any people in Rwanda, so we wrote and asked him. He wrote back to tell us that he will personally take the pictures of Jesus into Rwanda. When He got our request he didn't know what the Father had said about Easter and Rwanda, but he has five days off at that time, and Easter is when he will travel by bus to Rwanda and distribute the pictures there! Thank you, Father! In the midst of our mourning for Rwanda, we are rejoicing in our God for His love and provision for the survivors there.

As we were rejoicing over the pictures of Jesus going into Rwanda, I saw a vision of the Father. He was standing at the border between Uganda and Rwanda, with many angels, waiting for Kenneth and for the pictures of Jesus to arrive. He is going to move with healing in His wings, into Rwanda, and among the people. It is such an honor to participate with Him in reaching out to the people there who suffered so terribly at the hands of our evil enemy, who is a mass murderer at heart. How Satan reveled in the wide-spread carnage as he brought about the murder of almost a million people in 100 days. Thank you, Father, for Your coming justice and healing.

We have two short MoviePlayer clips online in which Char Tierney is speaking of what happened in Rwanda. We cannot encourage you strongly enough to look into the events that happened in Rwanda, beginning on April 6, 1994, when the Rwandan President's plane was shot down, and people were encouraged over the radio to go out and murder their neighbors. At that time, just as he desires to do now, Satan spoke directly through the radio, which were given out free by the government planning the slaughter, before and during the genocide so that more and more people would participate. The Father has been showing His grieving heart for the people, and His wrath against the evil that was done there. He will act with healing and with justice. Suffering, death, injustice: this is what is on the Father's heart as He looks at the world today. In His name, we urge you to join Him in caring, and in praying for the survivors and the victims from Satan's rampages of evil world-wide. Even as we remember what happened in Rwanda in the past, we stand against what we see coming in the future, to all the world. Brothers and Sisters, join with us in this wonderful opportunity to send free pictures of Jesus into Rwanda.

We found out from our printer, Mark, that he will print 90,000-105,000 more pictures of Jesus on card stock paper (like playing card paper) and he will coat them with a gloss sealing, so that they will not need to be laminated. They will be more like the texture of playing cards. He also will cut the paper into individual pictures, and punch the holes in them. All we will need to do is string them! This will save us an incredible amount of time, giving us the freedom to concentrate on sending them out by mail, and/or traveling with the RV and giving them out. We have been receiving so many requests from prisoners, that we are planning to send each request at least 50 pictures to share with other inmates. Click here to read a testimony from Louise in Texas about Jesus' wonderful timing in giving His picture for the sake of a prisoner.

The cost for the pictures will be between $1800-$1900 (plus tax), a savings of $800-$900 from what we were paying before for printing and laminating, not to mention all the work we were having to do. He will accept monthly payments for a few months, to give us the opportunity to pay for the costs for sending pictures to Rwanda for Easter. He is going to start printing the pictures today, March 20th. Jesus told us to go ahead and order the pictures printed, so we are trusting Him to provide, and we gladly welcome your participation. Pray for us and pray for provision, and join us in raising the money.

For Rwanda we have the following needs: we need to pay for the travel expenses of our Brother Kenneth as he travels to Rwanda from Uganda, to pay for postage to mail the pictures to Uganda, to pay for a translation of JESUS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME into Swahili, and if we can raise enough money in time, pay for Swahili language tracts to be given out in Uganda and Rwanda. Kenneth is getting the price of having the tracts printed there, rather than printing them in the USA, and then having to ship them.

On the back of each picture of Jesus that we send to Rwanda, it will say this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I say to the fearful of the earth, and to the children
Who witness death, there is a heaven and life
Continues past death. I am with even the
Sparrows which fall. As I rose from death,
All rise from death into My presence.
When you are afraid, remember heaven'.
Talk to Jesus. He will talk to you.
REMEMBER: Jesus loves you.

The picture on the front
was painted from the image on the
Shroud of Turin, the burial cloth that was
around Jesus when He brought Himself back to life.
