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.

SEEK THE LOST

Due to a mistake on the part of our printer's assistant, the color for the 8x10 pictures of Jesus that we ordered recently was put into the printing machine wrong. As a result, there are greens and pinks and other shades around Jesus' face. Mark, our printer, came back to his shop and discovered the mistake and immediately ordered another printing with the correct color settings. When we went in (on Good Friday) to pick up our printing of 4000 8x10s, we saw the pictures with extra color and we thought they were beautiful so we got them too. (This is how we ended up with 7000 of the larger pictures of Jesus.)

When I first saw the colored picture, I thought of the verse in the book of Revelation which speaks of a rainbow around the Father on His throne: Revelation 4: 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. We loved the picture, and Mark graciously gave them to us and trimmed them for us. (Send us an email to request a free 8x10, or a free 8x10 with extra color.)

Some of the pictures had been put in a trash pile so we retrieved them. This week I was trimming the extra pictures we retrieved and I counted them. There were 99 pictures. This made me think of the parable of the lost sheep, in which there are one hundred sheep and one wanders off so the shepherd goes to retrieve that one. As I was thinking about this, I saw Jesus looking at me. His face was deadly serious and grieved. I saw, by the Holy Spirit, that this is absolutely serious. It is not a sermon, not a cute teaching, but in reality there are people all over the earth who are lost, who are in despair, who are tormented in their lives by their feelings, by their circumstances, by the wickedness of the enemy, and Jesus wants us to reach them.

Silvana, prophet of the Father in the United States, speaks of Satan at times and one thing she has prophetically said of Satan is that he wants Jesus to return to an earth piled high with corpses. Satan wants to maim and murder and torment and destroy human after human, causing deep suffering wherever he can. When he can move to cause men to murder, he does. Where he can move to cause mankind to cause pain to others or to themselves, he does. We can see the grief and anguish and pain caused to 32 families by the murders at Virginia Tech University in the last few days for an example of Satan's work. Jesus grieves. He wants us to share His pictures, to show THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST and to give out the writing called JESUS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME, which presents the truth about Jesus and the way to have a relationship with Him. (Which is simplicity itself: just talk to Jesus and listen. You will feel His presence and He will talk to you. This is how you become restored to your Creator. For our restoration with Himself, our restoration with the Father, Jesus came and paid the ultimate price on the cross. Suffering exists all over the earth and Jesus entered personally into that realm and there purchased our freedom. Let us honor Jesus' sacrifice by developing our own relationship with the Father, and by reaching others with the same simple message of redemption. The pictures and the film are powerful tools in the hands of the Holy Spirit, which He has continually told us.)

The Holy Spirit showed: this is not a game, this is not a joke, this is not a sermon. This is a serious war with an invisible enemy who has mayhem and murder on his mind. The Father is great and will do great things to rescue people: healings and miracles and signs and wonders, to draw people to His Son, who is His heart. But we must join Him. We must respond when He tells us to share pictures, we must act and show THE PASSION, we must look to the Holy Spirit to lead us, because He knows the paths to every person on earth, and every person is the lost sheep, every person is the one He wants to rescue.

In the past, the Father showed me a view of the earth, and the view was like a satellite map. It showed blocks and areas and in each block, in each area, there were dark, black blots and this is a true reflection of how it looks on earth. There are demons world-wide, bringing darkness and causing great suffering with their deceptions and lies, as they move always to keep men and women in pain and despair and to separate them from their God who loves them. Recently the Father told Silvana that we should take some of the pictures of Jesus with color that He gave to us and to put them up in alleyways, on fences, in dark places, so the people who go there can see Jesus' loving face and feel hope. Some drink too much, and it has been long since they felt hope. Some use drugs to change their reality, some are in despair, but all are loved by God. He sees their pain, He sees their needs, and with all His heart He wants to reach them. He knows the plans of Satan, and He will act to counter them, and we must join Him.

This message is to you too. Together we are the Church, and together we are called to share the good news (Jesus Himself!) that will save lives, that will bring an end to despair, that will turn people from the persistant lies of our vicious enemy. The Father grieves. Do we care? Is the most important thing to us that we ourselves be blessed by God, that we ourselves are healed? He loves us. Our eternity is secure. It was bought with the blood of God, so how could it not be? Since we are loved, since we are secure, let us follow the example of Jesus and turn our attention and our efforts to the world, and let the Holy Spirit lead us to reach them: our neighbors, our towns, and the people of the nations of the world. Contact us for free pictures of Jesus.

Sending out pictures of Jesus

In the next few days we are sending out all the requests for pictures that have accumulated from phone calls and letters and via email recently. Yesterday we mailed 33 packages. Over the weekend the Father spoke of "Weekend of Resurrection" and I see by the Holy Spirit that mailing the pictures out now is a part of this. Lives are being changed and miracles are happening by the presence of the Holy Spirit who accompanies each picture. Maria said it first, when she said she felt as though she had been resurrected after we prayed for her about her cancer and we see the same is true of many lives. What great power our God has and how glad He is to honor His Son by helping us and healing us. Truly, by His stripes we are healed. Thank you, Jesus. What a noble and beautiful sacrifice You made for us. These healings are wonderful but even they are connected to what happens in our mortal bodies and therefore they are temporary. The greatest result of the pictures of Jesus is the one that lasts into eternity as people come to know their Creator. "Jesus smiled at me", they tell us, and others hear Jesus speaking to them for the first time. And what joy to come to know Him! No one is as kind as Jesus. No one is as wise as Jesus, and no one understands us or cares about our problems as deeply as He. Silvana was saying the other day that "for the joy set before Him, Jesus endured the cross", and that the joy set before Him is us and the relationship He develops with each of us. Not only does He care about us and participate with us in looking to the good of ourselves and our friends and families as we pray for them, but He shares with us what is on His heart as He looks across the world and into the spiritual realm. This is a Friend indeed, one who shares the burden that He carries.

For us to look and see the pain and grief and sufferings of the world by the Holy Spirit and to take this to the Father, and to stand against the evil one with his plans and wicked deeds is balm to the heart of the Father, who cares so deeply for all. Naturally, we all want God for our Friend, but He really rejoices when we act as His friend, and we participate in what He cares about. I remember how the Father shared with Abraham what was on His heart about Sodom and Gomorrah and how Abraham entered into the situation with his own concerns and prayers, and then the Father listened and acted accordingly. We often see the same thing happening now. The Father, or the Holy Spirit, will bring up a situation or a location on earth and then we will seek Him with concern about the people involved. This is how we started with Rwanda. He brought to our attention the great tragedy that occurred there and we started to seek Him on their behalf and then he opened doors to send the pictures of Jesus there, and now OJP has a representative right there in Rwanda who gives the pictures out and who sends us testimonies of the power of the pictures among the people there. What suffering there is all across the world, continually occupying the attention of the Father. Besides my own reIationship with Him, I have the honor and the privilege of living with a prophet of the Father, who constantly brings out things that are on His heart so I see how loving He truly is and how deep is the care in His heart for mankind.

Some of the requests we are sending thia week are going places where we are delighted to have the pictures go. For instance, there is a librarian in a jail in Virginia who wants to give picture to the inmates and who wants to show them THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST. There is a person in charge of a nursing home in North Carolina who wants to give them to the people there. Another package is going to a vet in Kentucky who leaves them out for her customers. (We always get lots of calls from her customers for more pictures since she has been doing this for some time.) In the mailings this week, there are pictures going to people in Australia, Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, Cuba, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, Uganda, Rwanda, Ukraine, Pakistan, Canada, Vanuatu (which I had to look up on the map - it is among a set of islands between Hawaii and Australia) and of course all over the USA. The majority of the overseas requests are from Ghana. Also, our dear Brother Joseph, who is in Ghana now, has been earnestly asking for more pictures of Jesus for some time now because they are quite low and they get many requests for pictures. We will send him a box with 5000 pictures of Jesus and I know he and the believers with him will gladly help us with the stringing. Join us in praying for the Holy Spirit to move in Ghana.

Resurrection Weekend

"Resurrection weekend" said the Father last week. Jesus rose from the dead on Easter and the Father is moving so powerfully that many lives are being changed so dramatically that it is as though the person has been resurrected. Many have been healed, others have been helped.

On Good Friday we went to town to pick up the 8x10 pictures of Jesus that we had printed and while in town we went to a yard sale when the Father suddenly told us to go down a certain street. What a joyous day. We had ordered 4000 of the larger pictures, but we ended up receiving 7000! Our printers, Discount Printing, did a wonderful job and the pictures came out as cyrstal clear and lovely as can be. Thank you, Mark and Natasha!

We also went to a yard sale. There we met Mabel, who sold us some beautiful clothes for Beathy and others in Rwanda for a very inexpensive price. We told Mabel about Jesus healing Maria recently from cancer (who went dancing the other night! We could dance with joy ourselves over this good news) where even one of her bones which had deteriorated, mysteriously re-grew. and Mabel rejoiced with us and then told us her own testimony about what Jesus has done for her. Mabel was run over by a car some years ago, which ended up dragging her 300 feet. She had many injuries from this accident and skin on her legs had been rubbed off and one leg turned white from the trauma to it. While in the hospital she developed gangrene in the leg and was told by her doctor that she would have to have one of her legs amputated the next day. She told her doctor, "No, my Doctor is going to come and fix me up." He replied, "I am your doctor". She said, "You may be my doctor in the natural realm but I have a Doctor in the higher realm and He is going to come and help me." She said that all night she cried out to Jesus, saying, "Please come and help me and please back up what I am saying of you". She told us that the nurses came in every 15 minutes to check on her because of her serious condition. Finally, at about three o'clock in the morning, she was dozing and she woke up when a nurse in her room screamed. She woke up to hear the nurse saying, "Mabel, look at your leg!" She looked down and both of her legs were the same color and both were healthy. She said, "I told you my Doctor was going to fix me up."

While Mabel was telling us the details of the accident she got called away for a moment. While she was gone for that brief moment, I saw angels who were recounting the same story to one another. Then, the angels started to jump up and down with joy and I heard them say, "And then Jesus did ..." I couldn't make out what they were saying that Jesus had done but it was clear that it was a miracle. Mabel came back to resume her story and I told her what the angels were saying and she said, "Yes, that is exactly what happened" and went on to tell us about the healing.

Good news about Maria!

Maria called today and said that she went to the doctors and that it was all good news. They said that her cancer is not spreading, that her red cells are increasing, and a part of a bone that was being destroyed by cancer is healing! Jesus is answering our prayers. Thank you, thank you, Lord Jesus.

The doctors had previously taken an x-ray of Maria's leg, which showed deterioration of the bone because of the cancer which was eating away at it. They took another x-ray during this visit and then they said that the bone had somehow been restored and was whole again. Maria told them, "Jesus did it!"

Oil on Europe and Larry's call

I dreamt of a map of Europe. There was golden oil all over it. The oil had run down off the high places on the map but was pooled in small areas where there were little valleys. The oil was simply resting on Europe. The Father is resting on Europe. They have been far from Him, but He is acting to give them a chance to come to the truth, to respond to His Spirit.

The other day Larry called us. Larry is the man who goes to hospitals to pray for people with the pictures of Jesus, and who put a picture of Jesus up in the room of his relative after he had been given the last rites by his priest, and then Jesus restored his relative. (As related in an earlier OJP Blog.) Well, Larry called "accidentally" he said. His cell phone had dialed our number. Of course it was not an accident, it was Jesus. When the cell phone called us, Larry was at the hospital waiting on a painful treatment for his muscle deterioration disease. Therese and Jordan prayed for Larry and afterwards Larry said that after praying for him, that he saw Jesus with him, there in the hospital. Thank you, Jesus! Please join us in praying for healing for our dear brother, Larry.

New audio post

I posted a new audio post this morning, titled, SERVE. In it I talk about a vision that the Father showed to Silvana and what He had to say about it later. To listen, scroll down and click on the line that says SERVE - Episode Seven, inside the blue box at ths side of this page.

Jesus is pleased

Twice last week Jordan went to the hospital with Nikki so he could pray for people there. The first time he gave away many pictures of Jesus and he prayed for Judy, who has trouble with her thyroid. On their second visit to the hospital he also gave out many pictures and he met LilyAnne, who has pneumonia. Jordan called me on his cell phone (he has his own phone so we can call him at any time to pray for people) and we prayed together for LilyAnne. As we were praying, I saw dry air in her lungs - as though it were Arizona air, or from some other place that has no humidity in it. I know that Jesus is going to help her to get well. After we prayed for her I saw Jesus. He was so glad that Jordan had met up with LilyAnne. He loves her and He was so glad that we prayed for her!

Later in the week, I talked to Nikki about a dream she had about a friend of hers. I started to tell Nikki what I saw about the dream, and she said that her friend would like to listen too through Nik's speaker phone, so I described what I saw about the dream by the Holy Spirit to both of them. The real reason for the dream was about to show the love that the Father feels for Nikki's friend. He sees what is happening in her life and He loves her and wants to help her. After we got off the phone, I saw Jesus again. He told me that He was so happy that I had passed on from the Holy Spirit what was meant by the dream. He wanted her to know how much He cares about her and that He is going to help her and by my willingness to speak with what I saw, He was able to tell her so.

Then today, Felicia told me about seeing a woman walking down the street. Felicia noticed her and saw what a problem she has walking so Felicia prayed for her. She said that after praying for the woman, she could see that the woman actually started to walk better, and then she could see that the Father was helping her. After Felicia told me this, I saw by the Holy Spirit how glad He was that Felicia had noticed the woman, cared about her, and prayed for her. It was the same thing that Jesus had shown me before! The Father is so glad when we will act for Him. He is with us. Remember how I wrote earlier about the Father wanting response from us? He does not want us to hear and not act. He does not want us to accept healings from Him for ourselves and those we love and then not act to help others. Well now He is showing His presence right in the midst of us, as we act in response to te leading of His Holy Spirit.

What powerful miracles the Father has been doing! Have you been reading on the Jesus Pictures Testimony page? Jean has seen miracles in Rwanda and we have seen physical healings in the USA, such as is described on the Testimonies page in the post called "JOY FILLED THE ROOM" about the woman who was in a coma but came out after they put a picture of Jesus on her forehead. Yesterday, Therese was talking to Larry from Raton on the phone. He called to request more pictures of Jesus. We sent him a large packet several months ago and he has been passing them out. He said that he takes them with him wherever he goes. He told us that he goes to hospitals and prays for people and gives them pictures. He said that when he meets someone who is depressed or suicidal he gives them a picture and has them read the writing on the back of the picture right then. (What is written there is taken from REMEMBER HEAVEN.) Therese told Larry about the woman having the stroke and not being able to speak and then going into a coma, only to come out of it, and then Larry told her about going to Denver with his wife last month. As usual, Larry took with him pictures of Jesus. While in Denver, they went to the hospital to visit a relative who was very ill. In fact when they arrived, the last rites had been administered by a priest. Larry and his wife put a picture of Jesus up in the room and prayed for the man. They heard from relatives a few days later that he was better and now, a month later, he is walking and has gotten much, much better! Thank you, Jesus! What wonderful acts of love You have been doing.

I made a very short YouTube movie about kitties, just to try out some software we have. Take a look here if you like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XuCY_AvtXs
