Schooling in Rwanda

We have told you about Pastor Jean and his wife Beathy and their children moving into the midst of widows of the genocide. Their landlady is a widow from that time. Jean and Beathy have been reaching out to their new neighbors, giving them free pictures of Jesus, showing THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST in their home, and listening together with them to FAITH COMES BY HEARING, which is the audio Bible in English. We sent them about five NIV Bibles so they can improve their English skills by following along in the Scriptures as they are read aloud. If any of you have any spare NIV Bibles, they would love to have more. Contact us for a mailing address for Pastor Jean.

We asked Jean what we could pray for for the widows. What kind of problems did they have? He said that one big problem just now is that many cannot afford to send their children to school since it costs $100 per child per year. They have to wear a uniform to school, which is part of the cost. This is a large expense and now there are many who cannot afford to send their children to school. Jean said that if the children do not go to school that they become street children. He also said that when the kids are on the street that they tend to become alcoholics. He told me that he gave these street children pictures of Jesus and they said they love Jesus but they wish they could go to school. So I asked him, isn't there anyone who could take them in and help to teach them? Is there a building - a church, for instance, that could let the children come there to learn? Are there any volunteers who will help with the children?

Jean said he would check on this, and later he came back and told us that he had identified about 60 kids who need to go to school, and his church said they could use their building. He also said he had one person so far - his sister in law - who would volunteer to help. So, now we are looking to the Holy Spirit about this situation. Would you please pray for this with us? After the tragedy in Rwanda in the past, we must help them to get back on their feet, and to help the Father as He reaches out to bless them in many ways.

Father, help us with this school situation in Kigali. Please provide the supplies that we need to teach the children. Move in Rwanda with a sense of unity and purpose, with neighbor helping neighbor. Erase the memories of the past with the loving ones of today.

I asked Jean about Godfrey (the man that Silvana saw lying on his bed in pain, whose wife sent a child to fetch Jean to pray for him) and Jean said he was totally healed. Jesus, all we do is for you! Thank you for your love for dear Godfrey, our brother in Rwanda.

OPPOSITION IN RWANDA

This last week Pastor Jean in Rwanda was called before the authorites from some towns in Rwanda because he has been passing out the pictures of Jesus. False accusations were brought against him and he had to stand before a gathering of authorities and answer questions about giving out the free pictures of Jesus. He sent us a text messge as he was on the way to meet with them. When we received the message, Silvana saw a huge gathering of demons, there to oppose Jean for what he is doing for Jesus, and to oppose the free pictures of Jesus. Therese and I both saw many angels with swords drawn surrounding Jean, so we knew a battle was brewing over Jean and the pictures of Jesus, but we did not know the details until Jean and Char were able to meet in Yahoo Messenger the next day. We put their Yahoo conversation here so you can read Jean's comments and pray for him this coming Tuesday when he has to go back before the committee again. The notes in green were added later to clarify.

Isn't this how the apostles and the early servants of Jesus were opposed? The enemy has not changed. He is still determined to come against Jesus and to cause harm to anyone who is doing the will of our loving God. God bless Jean and his wife Beathy for their service to Jesus in Rwanda. Pray for them, and pray for all of Rwanda, where the Father wants to move to heal their wounds and lead them gently into relationships with His Son, Jesus.

Char Tierney and Pastor Miruho Jean de Dieu

Meeting in Yahoo Messenger

July 4, 2007

Pastor Jean: I am sorry to be late like this
the ceremony of liberation day was so long and i am coming from there right now
after stadium pastors were invited to feast the day somewhere so i spent a long time there
the persons who would listen to Faith Comes By Hearing (Note: Faith Comes By Hearing is the NIV Bible on audio tapes, which OJP
sent to Pastor Jean to share with his neighbors and others in Rwanda)
are invited to come back tomorrow because for today it was not possible and some of them were there too.
Char Tierney: now you have your fan?
Pastor Jean: yes fan and fridge now we have them
Char Tierney: that is good
(OJP provided a fridge and a fan for Pastor Jean and OJP in Rwanda to help with the hospitality of those who come to Jean's house for pictures of Jesus or to watch THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, or to listen to the Bible Audio Tapes
we hope they work well and are good tools for the Father
and for you
Pastor Jean: yes
Pastor Jean: For yesterday char, it was a hard day for me

Pastor Jean: persons of bad will had accused me falsely
Char Tierney: there is a reaction to being attacked, very hard

Char Tierney: I see, Jean

Pastor Jean: as you pray pray for me for next tuesday as they call me again there
Char Tierney: were these village officials?
who are bringing the accusations

Char Tierney: we will be praying for you
Char Tierney: and asking others to pray too
Pastor Jean: the accusations came from those persons i said up and few others
but they are also officials some how they are chiefs in villages

Char Tierney: yes, we send them all over the world
Char Tierney: over 80 nations we have given pictures of Jesus
Pastor Jean: they accepted but continued to resist asking me if it may be a Church or not
Char Tierney: we have a pastor in Pakistan and we printed 30,000 JEUSS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME in Urdu with Jesus pictures on it
and he gave it away
(they printed it in Pakistan so we did not have to mail it)
Pastor Jean: i said it is not a church but a ministry of good will persons who love Rwanda and who love its people
Char Tierney: we are not a church, but we fellowship in Jesus with anyone who loves Him
Char Tierney: that was a good and true thing to say, Jean
Char Tierney: that is right
Char Tierney: we love Rwanda and Rwandans
Pastor Jean: yes
Pastor Jean: i think they will accept
Char Tierney: the ambassador to the USA from Rwanda is coming to New Mexico this month to speak at the UNM (business school - on July 27th) because we talked about Rwanda to people at that university
Char Tierney: so they invited him to come and talk to the students who want to come hear him
Char Tierney: at the University of New Mexico
Char Tierney: that was because we talk to people of Rwanda
Char Tierney: when we had the sale of clothes we said, "to support in Rwanda - for pastor there who lives among genocide widows"
Pastor Jean: it is only satan who wanted to resist
but satan will fail its plans i know
Char Tierney: yes
Pastor Jean: Jesus is powerful
Char Tierney: yes, Jesus, please work this for good
let great good come out of this, Jesus
Pastor Jean: yes pray for me especially on that tuesday satan will fail completely
Char Tierney: absolutely we will
Pastor Jean: i can not fear as i know that Jesus stand with me
Char Tierney: yes, dear Jean, we will be with you in spirit - all of us

Pastor Jean: bless you.you stood with me
Char Tierney: yes, we did
Char Tierney: and the Holy Spirit showed
Char Tierney: both Therese and I saw the angels around you
Char Tierney: and they had swords drawn
Char Tierney: and it was clear you were going to be attacked
Char Tierney: as you were
Pastor Jean: yes
Char Tierney: and Silvana saw the huge cloud of demons gathered, because they hope to stop Jesus
Char Tierney: on Tuesday do you have to go and answer more questions?
Pastor Jean: not more questions but to hear for difinitive resolution
Char Tierney: to give permission on whether or not you have give out the free pictures?
Pastor Jean: if we continue spreading there or if they stop OJP or if they saw any fault to me
so it will be a final decision
but i think those who wanted me down will be ashamed as Jesus still stand with me
Char Tierney: yes
Char Tierney: Silvana is here
she saw many angels with you - she said there are so many angels that they make the demons look like only a few
the angels surround totally
the Father will be there as well
Jesus will support you
Pastor Jean: thank you Jesusj
Pastor Jean: as you did yesterday
Char Tierney: Rwanda does not belong to the enemy, it belongs to the Creator of the world
beautiful lakes and mountains, they came from the Creator, not from demons
and the Creator is with You,
loving you
loving Rwanda
thank you, Jesus, for your great support for Jean
Pastor Jean: yes
Char Tierney: be with Him in power on Tuesday
and let them want the pictures themselves
Pastor Jean: i always witness his love
Char Tierney: yes, His love never ends
Pastor Jean: true
Char Tierney: we all love you
have more good food if Beathy can cook it
Pastor Jean: and yesterday i stand there all the day being bombarded of question
Char Tierney: I could feel you afterwards
and you were so drained and exhausted in spirit from the attack
Pastor Jean: but Jesus always was giving me what to say
Char Tierney: yes, Jesus
thank you Jesus
God bless you

Fund raiser for Rwanda

Someone very kindly donated several bags of very good condition women's clothes to us. Our first plan was to send them to Pastor Jean in Rwanda so he could share them with the genocide widows among whom he is living and to share the remainder with the orphans that his friend Augustin supports. We were making some calls about the cost of mailing the clothes and we discovered that the US Post Office has discontinued economy mail overseas! It would be thousands and thousands of dollars to mail the clothes (I called one company and they suggested the price of $600 per box - we have approximately 20 boxes - even the post office could beat that price at about $260 per box) so we asked Jesus what to do and He told us have a garage sale. So, we wondered how we could go about doing this since we live in the country (the boondocks!) and then our friend and neighbor Rick told us that his daughter is having a garage sale this very weekend and said we could sell the clothes there. THANK YOU, JESUS! And thank you Rick and Ashley.

So, we are going to the yard sale with the clothes. Jean and his family need a refridgerator. Can you imagine hosting a gathering of neighboring widows and their children without a fridge? Can you imagine living with your wife and four children without a fridge? Father, bless Jean for his faithful heart and his willing service for You. Please provide everything he needs to carry out Your will. Please provide the money for the fridge and other needs he has, and above all, Father, we ask You to bring healing to our brothers and sisters in Rwanda.

Another situation that is arising in Rwanda concerns the children of the genocide widows. Many of them cannot afford to go to school. I told someone today that it was $100 per child to go to school and they said that to the Rwandans this is as though it were $1000 per child for us in America. The reason the school charges this price is for the children's uniforms and books, which are required for school. Jean said that the children become street children when they do not go to school. He told us that he shared pictures of Jesus with many of them and they told him that they love Jesus, but they wish they could go to school.

What tragedy is this! Their parents have suffered the horror that came among them, and now the children must suffer because they cannot receive a basic education? Jean said that the tendancy of the street children is to grow up and become alcoholics. Of course we have been asking the Father every day since we heard this to intervene. What can we do to help? We will see how many of Jean's immediate neighbors have children out of school, and see if we can help them, and then we will continue to pray for all the children in Kigali, and all of Rwanda, that they be allowed to get an education. We know that the Father is tender in His love towards them, and that He is determined to help them, to heal them, to bring Jesus to them, because He loves them and He grieves as they grieve because of the pain and wounds they still have in their spirits. So, please join us in lifting up all of Rwanda to their Creator, who is our Friend, and our God. Pray for schooling. Are there any volunteers in Rwanda who could help? Is there a church who would offer their building for children to gather to learn the basics of reading and writing and math?

Miraculous sign in Rwanda

Last week on Monday, at the end of the meeting with Pastor Jean in Yahoo Messenger, Silvana saw something from the Holy Spirit. She said, "Pastor Jean, I see a man who is in Kigali, laying on a bed or mat in pain. He is near you, and Jesus will show you where he is so you can go and give him pictures of Jesus and pray for him." Jean said he would be watching for him and waiting to see what Jesus showed him.

Then, this week, on Monday when we normally meet with Pastor Jean in Yahoo to talk about OJP and the week in Rwanda, Jean did not come. On Tuesday he came into Yahoo briefly to tell us that the reason he had not come the day before was because a woman had sent her child to his house to get him to come and pray for her husband, Godfrey, who was sick at home, lying on his bed in pain. Jean went there with the child, taking pictures of Jesus, and the writing JESUS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME, and he prayed for Godfrey, who had severe stomach pain and head pain and who was not able to get up off of his bed because of the pain. Their house is in Kigali, near Jean's church. Jean told him that the leaders of OJP had described him by the Holy Spirit the week before and Jean said that the man "was astonished" but Godfrey's wife said, "God does these kinds of things". Jean said that Godfrey has faith in the Father, even concerning his sickness. The Holy Spirit showed that this is why He acted miraculously to show Godfrey and his sufferings to us, because Godfrey trusts Him, and the Father wanted to let Godfrey know that He loves him.

We talked to Jean later in the week and he said that Godfrey is doing much better, that he is up and walking again. Father, thank you for your great love for Godfrey and for his wife and family and for all who live in Rwanda, and for all who live everywhere in this world you created.

Sharing pictures as seeds

I wanted to share with you what was being said in Yahoo Messenger yesterday (May 21, 2007) as Nikki and I met with Pastor Jean, because I was describing what the Holy Spirit had been showing in the last few days. First, I will post two dreams that were given from the Holy Spirit the night before, and what the Holy Spirit showed about them, because they are mentioned in my comments and they relevant to what the Holy Spirit is showing.

Char:
I dreamt that people were building a larger church for OJP. In the dream, I looked back at the church we had, which was the size of a house, and then I looked at the beautiful new structure that was much larger, that was being constructed out of pink/red brick. It seemed to be an open church. There were walls but the front and back were open so many people could come in and out. It was an elegant structure, roomy and beautiful.

In actuality, OJP does not have a church building. The Holy Spirit is showing the Church, the body of Jesus, who are doing His will. The pink/red bricks show healing and the blood of Jesus. This new Church is one that is being established by the Holy Spirit, and it will he powerful to reach people and to help the Holy Spirit as many lives are being changed.

Nikki:
I dreamt that Char Tierney and I were standing outside on a corner in the street. There was a man there and his shoes were sitting on the side of the road. Char told me, "Take those shoes". I replied, "Oh, but he will be angry". Char said, "Just trust Jesus and take the shoes". So, I did, and then the dream shifted. Suddenly we were outside a car with the back up, giving out pictures of Jesus from the back of our vehicle. We took the shoes that had come from the man and put them into a bag with some pictures of Jesus and gave them to someone.

Nikki and Char are out on the street - out in the world - reaching out to people where they are, just as the Body of Jesus should be doing. The shoes represent going out with the good news of Jesus. "How lovely on the mountain are the feet of those who bring good news". The shoes had belonged to the traditional church, but they are being taken from this unresponsive church (unresponsive to the Holy Spirit) and given to those who will use them. The pictures of Jesus are being given out to people and as the people receive the pictures of Jesus, they pass them on to others, thus reaching out to the world with Jesus, as the Holy Spirit wants us all to do, as the shoes were given to do.

Yahoo Messenger: May 21, 2007
Char Tierney: I told you about the dream that I had, where I saw a new larger church building

and Nikki dreamt about shoes, and about giving shoes with the pictures of Jesus

shoes represent going out for Jesus, "how lovely on the mountains are the feet of them who bring good news" said the prophet Isaiah

they represent going out... acting... and what we have to go out with is Jesus - and in the dream

the shoes were given with the pictures
in other words, go out and share the pictures of Jesus, share Jesus

and yesterday I was working out in my yard

pulling weeds from around the flowers

and suddenly I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit

and I saw a plant that has little white fluffy seeds

that blow away when the wind comes and each little bit of fluff is a seed
and I saw how easily and how far the plant could spread as the wind blows

each plant is capable of making many more seeds
and the seeds blow away and each seed can grow a plant

so from one seed

will come many, many seeds

and each of those many seeds will grow more and more seeds can spread

and by the Holy SpiritI saw the field next to ours

and that the seeds that grow in our yard will blow next door

and there they will grow also

and then, the seeds that grow from that yard will blow to the next and so on and so on

and I looked at a plant

with only one flower - it has many seeds

and then the Holy Spirit showed me -sharing the picture of Jesus

and each one we share the picture with

is like another plantand we do not know where the wind will blow on that person

or where they will share Jesus

but each one is capable of sharing with many, just as each plant is capable

of producing many seeds and that the person with whom they share the picture, will be a plant as well

growing seeds and the wind will come to them as well (the wind is the Holy Spirit)

and they will spread their seeds as the wind blows

and so the seeds will go further and further from the original field

and this is what the Father has planned

for people to share the pictures - and to share Jesus - really Jesus

not just a belief in Jesus, but to really know Him

as we describe

just as Abraham did

and each one who really knows Him, who hears His voice, who sees Him

each one will share with others - the same Jesus

that He can be known

that people can talk to Him

that people can hear His voice

a true returning to our Creator

and our Creator will spread this good news - this wonderful message, for which Jesus died

through us - by all who hear Him, who see Him, who love Him

and so the Holy Spirit was showing something real

which is in His mind

as the dream I had, and the dream that Nikki had

so this is what the Holy Spirit is saying to us

it is good news!

as Silvana has prophetically said, "advancement"

into the fields where the enemy has held sway

now, comes Jesus through our reaching out

and we are so glad, Jean, that you moved into the field where you have

where there are the wounded, who have suffered so greatly,

so you can present Jesus simply,
with a picture and a smile

and the good news that Jesus will speak to them

and will help them

which He will prove to be true - by acting by His Holy Spirit with miracles

as we see so often, as He answers our prayers when we ask Him to help people -

and they know it is Jesus

so that is what He showed me, and that is what I see by the Holy Spirit

Note: Jean and Beathy have recently (May 17th) moved into a new house in Kigali. They are now renting from a widow from the genocide in Rwanda and they now live among other widows and orphans of that terrible time. The Father has moved them directly into the midst of those suffering people. The cruel field of Satan has become the Father's neighborhood, as He moves through Pastor Jean and Beathy to reach out with love and with Jesus, as they give out pictures of Jesus as representatives of OJP in Rwanda.

More good news about Abe!

More good news about Abe!

Abe is a friend of our friend Rick. He was in a motorcycle accident recently so we had asked people to pray for him via our FRIENDS OF OJP section on the web site home page. Abe's arm was severely injured in this accident. Earlier this week, the Father told Silvana for us to take some oil and put it on a plate and to have Jordan put his hand in the oil and then place his hand on a cloth and pray for Abe's arm. We did this and Doug and Therese (Jordan's parents) and Silvana and I all prayed with Jordan for Abe, and we posted the prayer request on the site. The next day, Rick took the cloth to Abe and placed it on his arm. Immediately, Abe said, "Did you feel that?" Rick said, "No, but I guess you did". Abe said, "My whole arm got warm when you put the cloth on it". (When Jordan prayed with us for Maria, who had been given three months to live, she said that when Jordan placed his hand on her - ours were already on her - that warmth came into her body. Later, x-rays revealed that a bone in her leg that had deteriorated from cancer supernaturally grew back!)

The next morning, after having the cloth placed on him, for the first time since the accident, Abe was able to feel his fingers and even to move them a little. We rejoiced when we heard the news! We also heard that Abe had put the pictures of Jesus around the room that Rick brought to him. Jesus, our loving Friend, who is our healer. At one point, the team of physicians at the hospital where Abe was located did not feel that surgery would benefit Abe because the injury to his arm was so severe. Finally, they planned to place a rod in his arm, so it could hang by his side. However, after the cloth was placed on him, the chief surgeon came to see Abe and he suddenly decided that he would be able to try surgery. (We know what it is like to have the Holy Spirit present (invisible but powerful) and to "see" how you can do something that He wants you to do. Thank you so much, Father, for what you have done and are doing for Abe.)

After surgery, the doctors said that Abe's arm went back together well and that no nerve damage was found! Of course there was nerve damage - Jesus took it away as He is healing him! God bless you Abe, and may Jesus and you develop a wonderful relationship and deep, deep friendship that lasts from now to forever. He knows you, He loves you, and He is the Friend and Brother who never leaves, who always helps, and who knows us better than anyone else does.

A season of advance

"A season of advance" is what the Father said to His prophet, Silvana about the days ahead and we look to Him with joy over all He is accomplishing in the Spirit and what He has planned. So often the Holy Spirit speaks through numbers and recently He was showing the number 33. We looked to Him about what He was showing. Of course 33 is the age that Jesus was when He was killed and 33 is the age that He was when He rose from the dead. The Holy Spirit showed us the power and the victory of resurrection in the number 33, tempered by the seriousness of death, and not any death, which is serious enough, but the death of the Son of God. So 33 represents powerful victory, purchased at great price, at great suffering. What can be more powerful than Jesus, risen from the grave, with total victory over sin and death? In Jesus' name, by Jesus' death, comes resurrection power in this season before us. It is a number of warfare with Satan (Jesus laid down his life in Satan's presence, and overcame him by rising again, and Satan could do nothing to stop Him) and it is a number of great victory.

The Holy Spirit showed the number thirty-three in the following manner: first, as we told you in an earlier blog, Antonio and Nikki went in obedience to Jesus to a motel in Albuquerque to give the pictures of Jesus there so they could put the pictures in each of the rooms. The motel had 33 rooms and they had with them 33 pictures. Second, when we mailed the packages of pictures during our push to send out pictures to every request we had received, which were starting to back up because of the cost of postage, we mailed 33 packets the first day, which just happened to be how many we had ready in time to reach the post office before it closed that day, and we mailed 33 packets the second day, which also was how many we had ready to send at day's end. (We have mailed another 70 or so since then.) In the tragedy in Virginia Tech University, when Satan moved on the man to kill 32 students and staff, and then himself, 33 were dead that day. On April 28, 2007, it was 33 years to the day since the prophet of the Father in the United States, Silvana Lupetti, was baptized in Jesus' name, and baptism is the exact thing to represent the power that the Holy Spirit is speaking of: going down to death in Jesus' name and rising up in His resurrection power.

As we pray for people, we remember the power of Jesus in overcoming death. What if Jesus had not ascended to heaven but had stayed on the earth. How many would have been healed? What great miracles would have been done by Him on earth?


Doors are opening from the Spirit of God to the city of Gatumba in Rwanda. Pastor Jean has a friend who is from that town, who will take Jean there and allow him to stay with his family while he shows THE PASSION and distributes the pictures of Jesus. The Father showed a plan for Gatumba, and really for every one of the cities in the four corners of Rwanda: first, find a pastor who will allow OJP to come and show THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST in their church. Then, at the church meetings, the Father said to act in the following order: 1) Present the Message to Rwanda From the Father, 2) Show the film, 3) Pray for people in Jesus' name and lay hands on them with oil, and 4) give out the free pictures of Jesus. The Father promises He will move with power.

We sent Pastor Jean more pictures for Gatumba, including 200 8x10s and 5000 small strung pictures of Jesus. We also took a vial of oil and we all laid hands on it and each of us prayed for the people in Gatumba, and the people in all of Rwanda. We prayed with Jordan for healing for the sick. The Holy Spirit showed Himself as the Lifter of our Heads: He said that the spirit in the atmosphere in Gatumba has kept the people bowed down, feeling sad, feeling without hope, but when He comes to move, as Pastor Jean shows the film and gives the pictures, that the very air over the town will change. The Holy Spirit will be there, to lift the heads and the spirits of the people. We know what it is to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit with power. Your courage and your faith and trust and understanding is strong because of His help and it will be the same in Gatumba.

We put some of the oil on our hands as we prayed over the vial of oil that we were sending to Jean. While Silvana and I were praying for the people in Gatumba, I saw the Father, and it was as though He had His hands on the vial of oil too. Then He lifted His hands from the vial to place them on the people of Gatumba. When He did, I saw that His hands were wet with the oil, as ours were. But as I looked, the liquid on His hands became blood: the blood of His Son, Jesus. The Father said to us that the answer to our prayers over the oil is yes, "Yes, because we ask in Jesus' name". With such a noble and powerful sacrifice as Jesus made for us, as illustrated in THE PASSION film, how can the Father say no? His heart for Jesus, His heart for the people, leads Him to heal, to help, to answer our prayers. Another sister in Jesus, who was also praying for Gatumba, said that she saw many Rwandans, who have left this earth, and they were gathered together watching as we prayed over the oil. These are the Rwandans who want the people left behind on earth to know that they are healed now, as was described earlier by the prophet, Silvana in THE FATHER'S MESSAGE TO RWANDA.

Commentary on "JOIN WITH HEAVEN" blog post

Click link to read "JOIN WITH HEAVEN" on Silvana Lupetti's blog site.

---

I saw something about the group of people who were walking towards the Cloud of Witnesses, to stand with them, as Silvana was shown by the Holy Spirit earlier today. The people who Jesus brought out of hell are those who were there from Noah's day, to whom Jesus preached when He descended to hell after dying on the cross, and then ascended on high "with captives in His train". The captives were the prisoners in hell, who had been there since Noah's day because of the widespread violence on the earth.

The Father has been showing us about the current warfare in the spiritual realm with a demon strongman, who is a powerful henchman of Satan. He is violent in every way. It is because of this demon and his powerful actions, leading to murder and cruelty and destruction, that Jesus was so serious as He was showing me about seeking the 100th lost sheep the other day. This demon strongman has affected millions and millions of people over time, moving on whole cultures to lead them towards murder and violent actions.

Therese and Mabel and Silvana and I were praying about this demon strongman as the Holy Spirit was showing him to us last week and we asked others to pray with us concerning him. Since then, we see the deaths at Virginia Tech University and we know by the Holy Spirit that the demon is planning to bring more death. He wants copycat crimes. He will move on the weak-minded, who will not resist his evil, but who will join him in the killing of the innocent. His aim is death and sorrow and grief and loss through violence.

It is powerful that those who went to hell because of violence are coming to join the Cloud of Witnesses (and we who stand on earth for love and for our God) during this time of warfare against this strongman, and this season of standing on earth. Silvana said that as they walked she saw their humility. Thank you, Father, for helping us.
