The Holy Spirit was singing

Yesterday Therese and Anthony and Nikki and I went to clean a house for a local landlord so we could earn the money to give our printer a down payment on the Supertract. In fact, we agreed to do the job for the price of the down payment. While we were there cleaning, I heard the Holy Spirit singing. Suddenly, I saw into the throne room and the Holy Spirit sang a song, and then another. I knew the songs, but had not heard them for years, when we sang them at church when was a child.

The first song He sang said, "Give of your strength to the Master. Give of the strength of your youth..." The first song really was about willingness to work for Jesus' sake. The second song was about the Supertract. Here are the words I heard Him sing:


We’ve a story to tell to the nations,
That shall turn their hearts to the right,
A story of truth and mercy,A story of peace and light,
A story of peace and light.

For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noonday bright;
And Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,
The kingdom of love and light.

We have been so opposed lately, as the enemy comes against us because of Jesus, because of the Supertract. This good news, this story (Jesus is the story!) Satan does not want to get out. The war against evil, the war against Satan, continues to rage around us all. What can we do for Jesus? What can we do to help? We have a story to tell to the nations. Help us Holy Spirit, to spread this story, far and wide, in Jesus' name.

Standing for the SuperTract

I was standing in the Spirit at the end of September and twice I saw the enemy near where we are at OJP. Both times, in the Spirit, I jumped over a little table to my left to lunge at him. The second time it happened, I saw more in the spirit. I saw a row of desks in the shape of a square in front of us. The little table I jumped over was part of a square of tables. The Father was sitting to my right and He and I and where we sat formed the front of the square. Then there were a row of tables on each side of us and a row on the back, directly across from us. Together, we and the individual tables (they looked like school desks) seemed to form a larger table. The lunging at the enemy was really the Holy Spirit, pushing him back from the people at the desks. After the enemy was pushed back, then each person at a desk had a walk-space behind them so they could get up and move around freely. It is a time to serve the Father together and to learn. The Holy Spirit is eager to teach us to follow Him better. He moves like the wind. How quickly can we move to follow Him? To serve the Holy Spirit, you must be able to run.

There has been intense warfare in the spirit lately. I woke in the night last night and the enemy and I were standing at the top of a precipice at the top of the world. (over the world) We had something in both our hands and we were wrestling over it, both trying to take it from the other. It was flat and square, shaped like our paper cutter that we use to cut the tracts and trim some pictures of Jesus. What I was seeing represents the fight over the SuperTracts.

We got a quote from our printers for the SuperTract, which is the picture of Jesus, plus WHERE LIFE BEGINS and JESUS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME, printed in black and white. Here are the prices we received for front and back printing:

5,000 $495.00
10,000 $720.00
50,000 $1770.00

Will you ask Jesus with us for the money to make and send these Supertracts into all the world? The enemy is opposing. Will you help us go forward in Jesus' name?

Jesus, please help us to move forward to all the world with your picture and with these writings from the Holy Spirit. Do not let the enemy interfere but help us to send out these truths, so people can come to you, and hear your voice and get to know you as they were created to do. Bless all who join you in this endeavor. Let the Holy Spirit move, and your people respond.

A life of contentment and joy and help

Here is an email we received from Jean this morning and my reply, minus personal sections:
I am praising Lord because persons continue to receive Jesus pictures and to lift Him up. Yesterday i spread 186 Jesus pictures together with 22 big ones and 84 JESUS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME tracts with some dvds of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST. Some children (about 15) also were requesting Jesus pictures when I arrived at home last evening and Beathy was giving to them Jesus pictures, they were glad for that. Today we shared also the JESUS IS ALIVE tracts at the church sunday gathering (we shared those ones corrected in Kinyarwanda) and those who were interested received more than 50 tracts there. See you soon.
In Jesus,
son Jean
Dear Jean,
That is wonderful news. Thank you for telling us. And to each person who receives a picture, Jesus will come. How near He will be to them! When they talk to Him, He will be right there to talk to them. If they have trouble, He will be there to help them. If they see another in need, He will be there to help them to help the person in need and to listen as they pray for them. Not only are you spreading Jesus' pictures, but you are spreading Jesus Himself. God bless everyone who received a picture of Jesus from you. God bless you and Beathy for spreading Jesus to many people.

This morning the Holy Spirit was speaking to me of the church. He talked about churches who never help anyone. They have their sermons and their Sunday School lessons but they never lift their eyes to what is around and help those who are around. He said, "When do they say to their congregation: these are the calls we got for help this week. Who can help? This is what we saw on the news this week, who can take them food and help them. Who can give money? Who can baby-sit the children of the one who is hurt? Who can give them a picture of Jesus?" The church has many sermons to themselves and they listen and then they leave the church. The Holy Spirit went on to say that this is like a body that just lays there. It never moves. It takes food in but it does not act.

Then, the Holy Spirit showed me your church. It is up on its feet now and it is moving and it is starting to act. It is moving to help the children for Jesus' sake. There is a school coming and they are doing it, by Jesus' leading, with Jesus' help, and with our help and with your help. THIS is a Body of Jesus. This is a Body of Christ, just as He wants. A Body that moves, that acts, that goes where He wants us to go. And we do it together. And the God we serve does miracles! He heals, He helps, He listens, He cares, He responds! Yes, what joy to serve this loving God. And how deep is His love for us. He sees our wounds, He tenderly heals us. He sees our past, our pain, He soothes with love.

THANK YOU, JESUS! From service to Jesus, service with Jesus, comes joy. There is excitement, there is joy, there is satisfaction, to partake in what the Father does, because everything He does is from love and everything He does helps. The deepest answer to our spirit is to know Him. We hear His voice, we feel His Spirit, we love His Son. And then, we serve Him. This is a happy life, no matter the problems that arise. No matter the troubles facing, this life is happy because this person is united with God, our Creator.

So, God bless you, Jean. God bless your church. Now they are on their feet, they are awake, and Jesus is among them. Yes, they still have problems, but Jesus will help them. Yes, they are poor, but Jesus has plans for their future. (Learning English is one thing that will lead to help in the future.) The children are poor too, but together let's teach them, and we will see what Jesus will do for them as they grow. Not only will they be learning to read and write and the countries of the world, but they will be learning to care, to help one another, to trust in Jesus, who is near to them and loves them so.
Love in Jesus,
Char
end of email
I had a dream this last week and in the dream I was inside a large house (like a manor house in England or a mansion in America) and there was a table there and people were sitting at the table and their hands were busy and they were all working together. After I woke up, the Holy Spirit said that the house was OJP. The table is the Father's Table and the people inside were those of us who have gathered in Jesus' name to do His will and our hands are busy as we do whatever it is that He leads us to do. Together we are always praying for people. We go out to pray for people whenever we have the opportunity. We have a connection through text messaging to pass on messages to pray for people and we all join together to pray for many things. (If you would like to receive text messages whenever we are praying for something or sharing something that the Father has said, please contact us with your mobile phone number. If you join us in praying for people, we want a response when we send out a text. If you receive the message, we want you to send back what you are saying to Jesus so we can join each other in support of what is said to Him. Texts are sent out and responses monitored and passed on by Silvana Lupetti.) We string the pictures of Jesus, we give out the pictures of Jesus. Our hands are busy for Him. This is what makes the house large and like a mansion. It is the Father's place (OJP) and there is room for many.
In the last few weeks, the Father said to me that no one can be happy if they live only for self. Man was not created to live for self. We were created to be like Him, and like the angels. We were created to love one another, and to love Him and to join Him in what He does, helping one another (one another being the whole world, as Jesus leads, because the whole world are our brothers and sisters) and helping Him. Living for self is a very tiny place to be. The only thing you can see is that which involves yourself or affects yourself. How narrow and unhappy and unfulfilling is this tiny place! It seems big to those within it. It seems tremendously important, that which is happening to you, and around you, but there is no lasting joy, no lasting happiness, no lasting contentment because self is like the grave, always demanding more, while nothing lasts. But true joy is found in a relationship with God, who created you and who has good work for you to join Him in carrying out. Read the supertract and see where life begins and how Jesus comes into the picture, and then go from there and you will be beginning a life of contentment and joy and help and eternal rewards and fellowship with God, as you have only dreamed of and longed for from your spirit.

Supertract

Our printer, Mark, is putting together a brochure for us which will have WHERE LIFE BEGINS and JESUS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME and a picture of Jesus. We can give them out everywhere we go in the RV and send them to everyone who requests a picture of Jesus from us. The Father showed His prophet, Silvana, the two writings together as though they were two sticks of dynamite in the form of a cross. I saw Jesus standing by the dynamite cross with a lighter, lighting the fuses. They will have a powerful effect on people's spirit. Together they lay a foundation for a relationship with the Father and then the picture of Jesus brings His presence. What a powerful weapon for Jesus!

The other day someone came and asked me for a "word" from God. I was going to say, "I don't know about "words" from God. I can only say if I see something from Jesus." But before I could say this, I saw the Father. And He said, "Jesus is the Word. Jesus is the word that is always on My mind." And I saw, as though I could see into the Father's head, into His mind, and He was thinking of Jesus. And He always is. In everything He does, He thinks of Jesus. He loves Him so.

So, as Silvana said, we have this opportunity with this powerful weapon added to our arsenal for the cross, in our arsenal for Jesus. Silvana also talked about the Father sending us out in the RV. She said that He could show us something on the news and then He could send us there with the pictures of Jesus. Last night on the news we saw a story about a security guard at a car lot. Someone came to steal tires off a mustang there and beat her viciously. She is now in a coma. We are taking pictures of Jesus to the family and asking Jesus to heal her.

What a horrific attack! She did not deserve that. The people who did this deed did it only for violence's sake. They did not need to go so far. Our only hope is Jesus. He sees. He cares. He would rush to help, if only His feet would move, His arms would reach out with His pictures. As the Body of Jesus, we reach out to poor beaten Susan, whom Jesus loves. We can trust Jesus to heal. Can He trust us to act? Yes, in Jesus' name, yes. Yes a thousand times, yes. The war gets bloody. The enemy holds nothing back.

Thank you Jesus for this Supertract, to reach out to the hurting, the suicidal, the grieving, the lost, the hopeless, the drug addicts, the angry, the families of those wounded. Thank you for this weapon of truth. May many, many people receive them soon, all over the world and may they hear Your voice and see You. And then, may they respond to Your Spirit, as the Church would not, and reach out to others as well.

We planted the second of two new trees in the back of our house this week. The first one the Father called, "Advance". The second He called "Forward". Advance is the movement of the Father in the whole spiritual realm. Forward is the army of Jesus, the Body of Jesus, moving forward with the Father and with His advance. These two tracts, combined into one brochure with Jesus' picture, will help take forward the advance of the Father. Thank you, Father.
This supertract is the good thing that Jesus said was coming after I saw Him in a kitchen preparing food on August 29th. The food is provision, the wisdom in these tracts.

A warning and more



I saw a vision the other day and I did not understand what I was seeing, but today the Holy Spirit showed what was meant by the vision. The vision was of a piece of flesh and the enemy was pounding against it.

I was standing in the Spirit, and then I saw the enemy and he was full of fury. I saw that he was furious about health coming to our physical bodies. Silvana and Therese and I are going to start low carb in September, which is a way of eating that helps you to lose weight. We have been on low carb before and liked it very much and we were much heathier while on it. The Father told us to start low carb again in Sept so we have been waiting with anticipation for the time to arrive.

However, there is a deeper significance to starting this diet than our health personally. It will make an enormous difference for Silvana, Therese, and me to be healthy, because our energy levels will go up and we will be able to accomplish more for the Father. That is good news and the enemy would oppose that automatically. However, the Father is also speaking of health to the body of Christ, to all of us who love Jesus, who do His will.

With good health, with healing and provision, we can do anything that the Father calls us to do. And the Father will do mighty things, as the enemy knows full well and deeply abhors. Strength and help from the Father is just around the corner through healing and good health. So, the enemy is furious and a sign of his fury is the fact that he is coming against people around us who want to help Jesus with OJP. Our friend and sister, Dana was almost in an accident twice in one day. Jesus protected her. Rick's daughter and her boyfriend (who have helped us) were in an accident that same night, and Jesus protected and them. Emily got sick, Felicia's daughter got sick, and many others. This will pass and healing will come, but be wise.

Be careful! Look to Jesus because there is this season of opposition. The healing is coming. The help is near, but in the meantime the enemy will try to cause harm, try to sideline anyone he can who is looking to Jesus to hear His voice and carry out His good will, especially with OJP.

Silvana was saying today that people need to be very careful as they get into their cars. Be aware of what is around you. Trust Jesus but show wisdom and care in your actions. Watch where you step, where you walk. Be alert on the freeway or the roads as you drive. Notice what the people around you are doing and be prepared to act accordingly.

The season of opposition will pass, and the power from the Holy Spirit will come. The enemy cannot stop the Father from what He has planned, but he wants to cause as much havoc and suffering among us as he can, so take the warning from the Holy Spirit and be careful and if you get sick, or your family gets sick, look to Jesus for help. Pray for the doctors who help you. Pray for one another. If someone gets sick, let us know and we will join you in praying for that person.

Have you seen this picture of Jordan praying for someone who was autistic? What a beautiful picture of faith and trust in Jesus. And Jesus answers! Join us in praying for others.


Today I saw Jesus and He was in the heavenlies or in heaven. (He was above the earth.) He was in a kitchen and there was a large pot of food cooking. A little later He sat down at a kitchen table there. He said to me, "Something good is coming." I told Silvana about it and she said, "the kitchen indicates food; provision".

Letter from Pastor Jean

Here is a beautiful letter from our brother, Pastor Jean, in Kigali, Rwanda, to Mary, one of the wonderful supporters of what Jesus has been doing with OJP. Pray for Rwanda. Pray for the new school. Pray for Pastor Jean personally. He is the pastor of a church of around 300 people and he also passes out the free pictures of Jesus as the head of OJP in Rwanda. He is very busy, with limited funds. God bless you, Brother Jean.

Hi Mary, This is brother Jean in Rwanda. I am with Operation Jesus Pictures in Rwanda and I serve Jesus here. My wife is Beathy and we have 4 children. Among them the eldest is 7 years old. I am a pastor in a Methodist church. Char, Silvana, Nikki, Therese, Antonio, Doug, Felicia, Robert, Catherine and so many others are our parents, sisters and brothers in Jesus throught OJP.
Here are many non-schooled children and many of them were in risk of becoming alcoholics if they stayed street children or non-schooled children. It was a big burden to us. We tried to pray for them, but finally we realised that it could not heal until we thought it could help if they learn some few things, but we missed the means. Our local church accepted to use the building of the church for classes (it is a rented house which is paid monthly, it can bear 3 classes.) So now about 65 children may begin learning in January.
They will learn writing, reading and counting, songs, rhythms, shading, modeling, languages...and they will learn especially in english. We have not capacity but we trusted in Jesus. We praise the lord because our sisters and brothers of OJP USA are praying for us and some accepted to help for a few materials. We will need some materials, as we were chatting about this with sisters and brothers of OJP USA last Monday. We will be using the dry erase markers board. We hope God will provide, We also will need markers, books for children, exercise-books, pens, pencils, crayons and other materials for children. We have nothing today, but we hope Jesus will provide.
We know that you are one among our sisters and brothers in Jesus there in USA and we know you are one who helps so much in OJP and we know that you always stand with us to pray for that schooling. This is our request to pray for those children, orphans of genocide or AIDS. We hope that Jesus may make a way for the school. We are very grateful and our thankfulness is so high to every one of OJP USA.
Brother in Jesus,
Jean

Video for Rwanda and more

Please make a bookmark to our prayer forum page so you can check regularly on the prayer requests that are posted there and join us in bringing people before Jesus. Jesus has proven Himself eager to heal and to help.
http://www.network54.com/Forum/579251/ Also, please post a request for anyone that you know who needs help from Jesus just now, whether it be for healing or for any other situation. Together let's take the people to Jesus. They need Him and He wants us to care about that.

We made a dvd for Rwanda, with the things that have been said to us in the last few years by the Holy Spirit concerning Rwanda. Here is a link to the 55 minute long video:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5322626769741411228

The Holy Spirit has been giving dreams in the last few days. I dreamt last night that Donald Rumsfeld and a local government official come to have dinner with me and we ate it upstairs in a third story building. This dream is warning of war in the spirit. We must look to the Holy Spirit constantly to lead us because the enemy is intent to come against the Father and His will.

Nikki dreamt that Silvana and I were in one of her childhood houses with her. This dream has to do with healing and the truth about situations that caused deep wounds from her childhood. The Father is healing us with love from what we have suffered in this world so we can serve Him with joy and without hindrance.

Felicia dreamt that she and Silvana and I were moving to Rwanda to a large house there. She was assisting us in this large house. This dream shows the movements of the Holy Spirit in Rwanda. He is building for Himself a house there, bringing the people to Him to be healed in their spirit and then to live their lives knowing Him and loving Him, as He loves them. Felicia has been a faithful helper to everything that OJP has been doing. She passes out the pictures of Jesus, including taking them to the bad parts of town in Honolulu as Jesus asks us to do. God bless Felicia and all who join us with Jesus to reach out with Him to the world. Click here to see photos of pics of Jesus in needy areas of town.

Jordan dreamt that he was college age and he was going to go to school for ten years to become a surgeon. Then, the dream fast forwarded and he was a forty years old surgeon, standing by a patient who was in a hospital bed. He was going to do heart surgery so he had just given the patient some medicine to prepare them when he awakened from the dream. Silvana and I both had the same reaction when we heard the dream: the number forty is significant. Forty is the number of fasting, the number the Israelis went through the desert: forty is the number of preparation. In the natural realm, Jordan wants to be a surgeon when he grows up. He has the gift of healing and he has been interested in our bodies and our health since he was a small child. I want to ask Jesus more about it, but I think that it may not be a literal dream (although it could easily literally come true) but that it is showing healing in general and also the healing of a heart from the perspective of the Holy Spirit. This is what the world needs today: a heart. The bride of Jesus needs a heart (or she is not the Bride of Jesus) and the world needs a heart. Satan's murderous intentions will bring great harm to the world. A lack of heart on our part causes us to deserve it. A lack of heart to the bride of Jesus, makes her worthy of judgement as well. By Jesus' stripes we are healed. He cared. So must we.

This reminds me of something Jesus said to me yesterday. I had asked Felicia via email if she would type up the transcript to the video that we made for Rwanda. I told her that this will help Pastor Jean as he translates it into Kinyarwandan for the people who see it with him. And since the video contains what the Holy Spirit has been saying to us of Rwanda it is important that Jean is able to translate it accurately, so the transcript will be a valuable asset for Jesus in Rwanda. Well, Felicia sent me a text message saying, "Yes, Jesus". Then she sent another text message saying she would gladly transcribe it. After she said this, Jesus commented to me.

Jesus said, "These are the most beautiful words I can hear from My people. Someone can say to me, 'I love you Jesus' but that is just words. The most beautiful thing I hear from anyone is 'Yes Jesus' because it shows that they are going to do what I want them to do."

Help us with the new school in Rwanda

We are all praying for the school in Kigali, Rwanda which will start in January. The school is for children who cannot afford to attend public school. Pastor Jean's church has agreed to allow them to meet in the school building, which is a rental house. They believe they can have classes for 60 children. On August 19th, there will be a feast and gathering for the children and families of those who plan to attend.
Right now the school building does not have electricity. For about $70 (USD) more a month they could meet in a building that does have electricity. We are asking Jesus for the money to buy them a computer for use in the schooling. If you would like to help by paying the extra price for electricity, we would value your help. If you have any school supplies you can donate, they would be welcomed with joy. Mail school supplies to
