Hi all,
As I write this I'm just back from my last ministry trip for the year, and am reflecting on all the wonderful people I've met and the times we've had in the Lord. My first trip was to Lithuania in the middle of March, my last ended last night (Saturday the 11th of November) which was a driving loop through the US midwest. 
 
Thank you to all involved, from those hosting to all who took the time and effort to come to our meetings!
 
June visitation - I'm comfortable sharing a bit more of it
You may recall back in June I was dealing with a heart (electrical) issue called A-Fibrillation, which the cardiologist described as having a bunch of kindergarteners running wild in a room, the room being in an upper quadrant of my heart. Later I had the cardioversion which shocked the heart back into normal rythum, but at that point in June I wasn't sure what I was dealing with. 
 
That particular night in June however, for the first time ever, I could not breathe if I laid down. If I sat up I could breathe, if I laid down I could not. At the time I didn't know it was because of the heart's inefficiency due to the AFib slowing the blood flow which allowed it to separate and the plasma collected around the heart/lung chest area. When upright that water is kept by gravity in the lower parts of the chest and a person can breathe, but when laying down it sloshes horizontally filling the heart/lung area. 
 
As I said, I didn't know all that at the time, I was scared and went to the living room to try to sleep upright in the recliner, laid hands on myself commanding healing, all the while worshipping the Father and asking for wisdom. As I worshipped I was in the Spirit and the Lord was suddenly there and walked over to me, putting His left hand on my shoulder and said, 'You will live and not die'. Then He began to tell me about then (June 2017) through September 2018 saying things like 'You will see...' and in some specific situations 'You need to pray for...'
 
Let me interject here that in case you think it unusual for the Lord to say 'You need to pray for...' I'll remind you it was the Lord who told us to pray along the pattern of the Lord's Prayer: "Pray this way. Our Father who is in heaven, holy is your name..." It was also the Lord who told us in John 16:23-28 to pray to the Father after His crucifixion. It was also the Lord who in Matthew 24:15 confirmed Daniel's understanding of anti-Christ coming into the temple, and then instructed us in v20: "Pray that doesn't happen in winter nor on the Sabbath." So yes, the Lord then and now directs His body to prayer - He is the Head of the body after all, so of course He directs the body as our own heads direct our own bodies what to do. Anyone who has ever felt an urge to pray for a friend has experienced this direction from the Lord to pray as well. 
 
Politically 
He then explained why I felt a 'blank' in my spirit about this presidency, especially that (as I had said in an earlier communication) that it went 2 years and then blank - nothing there in my spirit and even the first 2 years just felt...blank, no joy, no excitement. Just as flat as the west Kansas prairie. He said to pray, for Congress had 2 key legislation pieces to pass this year (fall term), and if they didn't things would start to 'unravel' for them. He said if they did not, the people and investors would lose confidence in their ability to pass anything significant, and the effect would lead to political turnover and economic difficulties for the next years and elections in 2018. 
 
One of the key ones, which most Americans have surmised by now, is tax reform. (Congress) already missed it with health care reform, thus this newsletter mention to pray that the tax bill be passed in a form that would actually do good - not a watered down version that does little to change the economic and tax lives of citizens and businesses. He went onto explain each nation has gifts to offer to the world (I am reminded me of Acts 17:24-27 that says God determined the nations, the times they would rise and fall, and their boundaries. Each nation has an element of His personality to give to the world - Israel's is above all, is the gift of salvation through Jesus.
 
Let me also say the Lord IS political - He is a King after all. But He isn't registered to any party but His own, Righteousness and Truth, lol - so He has no allegiance to anything but righteousness and that which does good for all people. 
 
He said our (USA) gifts (among others) include how to make money, underpinned by self-reliance and integrity. He said when a nation or a person leaves their gifts He intended them to walk in, they open themselves to error and difficulties. The He said this: 
 
"The spirit of anger is what you've been thinking about because of what you've seen and heard, and you are correct, there is a spirit behind it. Know that spirits of anger are seen all over the world from religions that kill anyone that doesn't agree with them, to political enemies who attack people in their words and actions personally rather than attack their ideas, to even in My body, which has caused church splits and the ending of many a friendship. When you see irrational anger, when there is no logical reason nor justification for it, there is usually a spirit involved."
 
That was confirmation of something I already suspected as He mentioned, felt in my spirit but for which had no confirmation. I had already noted the common thread from ancient Rome to Nazi Germany to current US politics about irrational anger, and suspected it was a spirit that I would call 'hatred'. I asked the Lord for chapter and verse and examples because if I had concluded spirits were behind it and He confirmed that, then I wanted chapter and verse to understand it. 
 
He stated the example of Revelation 12:12: "The devil has come down to you having great wrath, for he knows his time is short." He reminded me also of Revelation 11:18 that says "the nations were angry" (for judgement was approaching). He said people and nations are angry because satan was first angry, manifesting outward to any nation or individual who will give that spirit and those associated with it a place in their hearts and lives. 
 
The spirits of anger and hatred are what are behind so much of what is going on, and He showed me how that will grow to consume the world - but that is perhaps for next month, the ways persecution is at work. But I wanted the CWOWI network to know, and those who follow this ministry to have this first. 
 
I replied that chapter 12:12 where it says satan was angry, was showing us something far in the past, when he was cast out of heaven, as I understood it - giving us a window to the past to explain the behind the scenes of what was happening on earth - it was informational. He said "Correct; it was given to John that people may know what is behind the events happening on earth. In the same way in (I John 4:3, II John 1:7) John said "The spirit of anti-Christ is on the earth", yet the man called anti-Christ has not yet been revealed, but that spirit is active in the world. So too anger is in the nations and individuals active in the world though the exact time of Revelation 11:18 hasn't yet happened." 
 
That led to this in our conversation:
"When are liberals back in charge, they will take charge with vengeance against conservatives and Christians, and those that don't agree with them. Conservatives and Christians will be blamed for the nation's problems, as that spirit has done through the centuries, blaming others to justify its actions." Because the spirit of anger (hatred) is the root motivator, it all came together for me in my mind and spirit. I see it. It resonated with me. 
 
I had wondered why those who want everyone everywhere to accept all lifestyles, beliefs and orientations, are the very ones not to include everyone. That is irrational, illogical. They say to accept all and then don't do it themselves. I had wondered about 'church people' who hate another person because they differ in 1 point of belief. We saw it in the gospels with the Pharisees, we've seen it in our churches - an irrational hatred for those who don't believe as they do. I had seen all that, and the common spirit in Rome where they accepted all gods and goddesses, yet rejected those who worshipped our God. That doesn't make sense, and I suspected there was a spirit behind it, and now I had the confirmation of all that and more through this visitation.
 
His information in June 2017 when this visitation happened makes me concerned for the next year through the elections. He stopped telling me things at September 2018 - I suppose more will come later, this was rather overwhelming for me which is one of the reasons why I've delayed sharing it until now, and still have held back much of it. Pray. I pray the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him will open our eyes to see what He shared, and we will know and walk in His love and calling in our lives.
 
The summary is this: Realize when you see anger that has no rational reason, no logic to it, there is a spirit behind it. Pray for the US Congress this term to get tax reform, not tax adjustment, done and signed. Pray the bad things politically and economically He showed me can be delayed or stopped altogether. Become wise to discern that spirit of anger - hatred too - behind various incidents in various settings - the spirit(s) latches onto people from all walks of life, all political views, all who give it place.
 
Kenya water well 
After I received an inventory of all the parts for the project, I submitted that to a ministry in the US that is 100% focused on wells in rural areas of developing nations for their advice. They were quick to reply and offer suggestions and changes. They even recommended a company to do the work. Those questions have been submitted to Daniel in Kenya for his review and comments, and we will move forward from there. We've raised through your gifts and with what CWOWI can help from our general fund, about $2000 thus far, which is about half the projected budget. If you want to help just add a note 'Kenya' and we'll make sure it is set aside for that. 
 
Regional relationships
Around the world I am seeing people interested in regional relationships - through Skype, email, Facebook, Messenger, and a host of social apps, this is straight from Acts and what we see in Paul's letters. For instance, Galatia was a region, not a specific nation or city, and Paul wrote to them all, showing they were in relationship with each other in that region. We see the State of Asia with its most influential city, Ephesus, but the body of Christ in Asia also included Laodecia, Smyrna, Philadelphia, Sardis, Thyatira, and Pergamos. But they connected with each other within their regions. 
 
That is exciting to see as it is happening organically just like in Acts and Paul's letters; people from their hearts outward desiring to connect with others on the same spiritual page! It is time in the Spirit to focus on what we have in common, and not let peripheral issues cause us to separate from one another. When we come together in a home it is all about Jesus and what He is doing in our lives, not any teacher or flavor of the month teaching we are focused on to the exclusion of people who don't agree with us. 
 
Holidays, closing out the year
As CWOWI continues to grow in a mix of house churches and those who are in process, or even just who follow us for the teachings, our hope is to add our youngest son to our staff by next May. People all over the world are wanting to either connect with house churches in their area or start one, and I find because that is the assignment given to me by the Lord as a first priority, and with my time very limited, my focus has become narrowed to those starting house church or wanting to start one. Pray for me. Build bridges where they allow you, not walls. 
 
In the natural we are paying off bills, lowering our overhead to prepare for the additional staff member, but we would also appreciate your support financially as we 'gear up' with adding him to our staff to help meet the need. Even with great regional leaders communicating to people in their areas, still the groundswell is increasing...thank you for your giving, your prayers, and know those who write in or email in prayer requests ARE being prayed for...thank you!
 
    Blessings,
        John & Barb

Hi all,
 
Thank you for being patient
I have many emails that I've not been able to read that are a month old, but looking at the subject matter I can see many in the US are wanting help starting house churches -  that's what I do. But I'm only 1 man and the load in the US alone, not to mention around the world, has increase this year considerably. Our son Brian has long wanted to join me on staff and we are making plans to do so next spring.
 
It is one of those things where we have peace about it but we don't know exactly how it will happen. We are looking at our budget and expenditures this year to make adjustments, and have a goal of having this year's ministry trips that didn't pay for themselves paid off so we are in a good place financially next spring. We ask for your prayers for wisdom in this, and thank you for those who give to CWOWI, you mean so much to us you can't imagine. Thank you. 
 
Over the next 2 weeks I will get to each of the emails, I feel bad so many have sat for a month in the inbox but the next 2 weeks I'll catch up - thank you for your patience. 
 
Unmoved
One of the things the Father has been showing me is how people who know Him are inwardly unmovable by circumstances. They are constant, as He is. In fact as we become more like Him we become more like that - nothing 'fazes' us - we see the headline news, we hear of things - we may even have to react and take action to avoid disaster in our own lives - but inwardly we are not moved. We are resolute. We are unshakable though outwardly our life may be shaken like a tree in a hurricane. Inwardly we have a peace about us. 
 
Chasing butterflies
Many of you will remember the vision the Lord gave me one visitation of a square field filled with children chasing butterflies. The field was sun-lit while all around it was darkness, and the children were giggling and running around trying to catch many butterflies flying all over the field. They were completely focused on the butterflies and unaware of their surroundings outside that field. You'll recall I saw a child stop chasing a butterfly mid-chase as it was, and turn to look to the edge of the field.
 
Upon seeing the edge of the field she walked over and saw people sitting at the very edge of the field, clothed in rags, sitting in darkness, thin and with hollow eyes. But they longed to play in the light with the others. This girl reached her hand into the darkness and grabbed the hand of the first person sitting there, and as she pulled him up and into the light he was transformed into a clean, healthy looking boy.
 
In the vision other children began turning from the butterflies to pay attention to those at the edge of the field, and as more on the edge came into the field, the field expanded to the space they had previously occupied. 
 
The Lord started explaining to me as He and I stood there, the meaning of the vision. He said many in His body were like those children chasing butterflies. If not caught up in the world and money and status and things like that, and closely related, were various teachings that tickled their ears but had no real meaning to their spiritual life. Many were caught up in silliness to use His term, though they are quite serious about it. They are self-deceived, for they are not doers of the Word, rather than choosing growth and the repeated difficult decisions required to grow in Christ, they are in spiritual neutral, entertaining themselves with things that don't matter. They have no eternal value. 
 
In my terminology not the Lord's as it pertained to this vision: They are like binge-TV watchers, who sit in front of a TV watching episode after episode of a particular show, all day long, or all night long, eating junk food until they are miserable, and thinking how much fun it was while inwardly asking 'Why did I do that?'
 
That is how many people are, and there is a division in the body of Christ underway between those still chasing butterflies and those who are focused on others rather than how they feel about this or that doctrine, or in fear over those teachings. I see this in so many asking now about how to start a house church. Unwilling to play games, they want to express their seriousness about their faith out of their family and home, and invite others to join them 'in the light' so to speak. 
 
Everything in scripture about Christian growth involves the fruit of the Spirit in our lives and the growth of character as seen in II Peter 1:5-8. No where in scripture are spiritual butterflies mentioned as worthy of consideration. Look at the list: Add to your faith, moral excellence, knowledge, consistency, godliness, brotherly love, unconditional love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness (teachability)... II Peter 1:5-8, Galatians 5:22-24
 
Which of the teachings and 'movements' out there done in the Lord's name is all about growing people in these things? Where is your focus? If your focus is on a 'fad' teaching or 'movement', your faith will be shaken as soon as that popular teaching fades and a new move emerges. If you are focused on developing the above qualities on a daily basis right where you live in the here and now that lead to being Christ-like character, you are blessed.  You are therefore immovable in your faith by circumstances, then you'll be fulfilled and at peace. 
 
You can't be immovable in your faith if you chase the movable. Butterflies were the object lesson in the vision for good reason...
 
Need in the network
Our brother Daniel, from Kenya but who travels also in other nations for CWOWI overseeing the (house) churches there, came to our Dutch conference this spring, He expressed a need in his village for water. They have a good and deep well, but neglect and political turmoil have conspired to make the generator unfixable and the water tank needing replaced. There was an NGO (Nongovernmental organization) that was going to get a new generator and tank, but again, political turmoil caused them to back away from the project. So now the village wants to take matters into their own hands.
 
The village will charge a fee for water drawn which will go to buy fuel and maintain the equipment, and the village has set up a council to oversee it so the neglect doesn't happen again. The cost in US dollars for generator, tank, and all the piping and such is about $4500, and it is something that would bless a whole village, who now must walk to get water from another village. If interested in helping with a donation I can furnish pictures and costs as laid out by Daniel upon request, for we've talked this through the last 5 months to ensure a stable and long lasting solution. 
 
House church affirms a person differently than the auditorium. If you walk into a large church building a person feels peace with the stained glass, the pews, the order and show of it all - it is stable, and predictable. House church has none of those things. A person is affirm - that is to say touches the emotions and encourages a person differently. In house church you have a room full of people gathering, eating, praying, worshipping, catching up on life with each other...it takes getting used to because it is so...so...normal. Mundane, 'just' a get together at someone's home...but when Christ enters, the whole dynamic changes, the presence of God changes everything. And because He is meek and lowly and is looking for a people who fed, clothed, watered and visited Him when He was hungry, naked, thirsty, and sick or in prison, He is there in their midst in a strongly different way than in an auditorium setting.   
 
Many house churches start by one couple or person inviting others to join them for a meal, and to pray, worship, talk about their faith. Acts 2:42 reveals the early church meetings revolved around: "...the apostle's teaching and fellowship, breaking bread (meals together) and prayer." Very simple.
 
Thank you for remembering us in your giving, and especially your prayers. There is so much going on I need wisdom. As Paul told the Corinthians who supported him in prayer and giving, that "they gave us the gift, and take upon themselves the ministry to the saints...they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God."
 
Thank you for being in our lives! Blessings,
    John Fenn

Hi all,
Did you know the USA is going to experience another full solar eclipse 7 years from now, on April 8, 2024. If you overlay the path of Monday's eclipse which went from Washington State southeast across St. Louis/Memphis area exiting through South Carolina, with the 2024 eclipse which will start in Texas and exits through Maine, you'll find the X where they intersect is directly over the New Madrid Fault between St. Louis and Memphis. Just some thoughts...
 
Thank you for your prayers; My 'cardioversion' to correct the AFib worked, and my heart is now back on the regular rhythm - it was quite a testimony. As I woke up the anesthesiologist told me he had learned something, which was that the first 2 times of shocking my heart didn't work, but my cardiologist told the anesthesiologist he had read about a particular drug used in anesthesia when applied just before a shock, sometimes helped the heart get back on rhythm - he had the medicine there and did it, and it worked! The anesthesiologist said that any other doctor would have quit after 2 tries, but mine didn't, knowing this little 'trick'. Praise God we are so thankful!
 
I encourage you to watch my weekly video teachings on Facebook or Youtube; posted to be seen when convenient for you but live Wednesdays 8am central US time.
 
I'll be in Osawatomie, Kansas this weekend teaching on 'Angels & Demons' Saturday and Sunday - looking forward to seeing long time friends there.
 
New England Conference Columbus Day weekend, October 7-8, Manchester, New Hampshire. Email Tom & Sylvia for details: syto99@gmail.com or me at cwowi@aol.com. We are planning on having our Dutch leaders Wil and Ank fly in for it, others from Montreal area affiliate, and others in the New England area - it will be a mix of fall colors, food, teaching, worship, Q&A, prayer and ministry.
 
Fall in the US
With so many friends in the southern hemisphere I have to keep in mind autumn in the US is spring in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other nations south of the equator, hello and thanks for your patience our southern hemisphere friends!
 
Fall in the US - I had told you a month or so ago when I was in the midst of terrible symptoms with my AFib, at that point it was affecting me so much fluid was building around my lungs and I was on a strong diuretic, but for several nights had to sit bolt upright in a recliner to be able to breathe - that in the midst of worshipping the Father I was in the Spirit and the Lord came and stood by me. He put His left hand on my shoulder and said "You will live and not die." He then started talking to me about several things between then and next September (2018), much of it personal about CWOWI and where He is leading, and other things about the body of Christ as a whole, and world events.  
 
One of those things involved the body of Christ in the west and how He is preparing us for turmoil ahead economically and culturally, and in moral and spiritual strength. He is going to allow people to reap the consequences of their beliefs and actions, pulling back His grace just a bit as He asks the body (in the US and west) to judge itself in some areas. One of the interesting things He said was about the body of Christ in the US and west and where it is not life-threatening to be a Christian compared to the body in other parts of the world. He spoke of hardship (Christians) are going through in other parts of the world while much of the west and US resemble the Laodicean church. 
 
You will recall the Laodecian's were lukewarm and because they were rich, thought they lacked nothing. But in the Lord's eyes there were "wretched, poor, blind, miserable and naked." 
 
That last element is the most important - naked in the Lord's eyes. In Revelation 3:4-5 and elsewhere in scripture, 'fine linen clean and white' (Rev 19:14) or 'white robes' (Rev 6:11, 7:9, etc) are righteousness in the Lord. These are seen in the Parable of the Marriage Feast of Matthew 22:1-14 in which a guest thought he could attend the wedding feast and was asked in v12 "Where is your wedding garment?" and "he was speechless" and was cast out. (Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, with confession of the mouth of Jesus is Lord we affirm our salvation, but this guest refused to speak so he was not saved, and was not allowed to partake of the marriage supper). 
 
Of Laodecia the Lord said "Buy me gold tried in the fire, and white clothing that you may be clothed so that the shame of your nakedness is not revealed."
 
That's where the US body of Christ is to a large extent - not everyone by any means - so don't be in fear. If you're not right before Him you'll know it. But specifically for those who think because they are prosperous they are righteous, who live a facade, a veneer of their faith, those who think they need nothing and no one and caught up in themselves rather than outwardly to others - those are the ones who are about to have the shame of their nakedness (unrighteousness) - the fact they are not right before Him - appear. First to themselves between them and the Lord, then to others who will see their spiritual lives for what it isn't - if they don't change their heart. 
 
He did not go into detail other than to say for some it will be because of fear as their world is shaken, revealing their faith has been in their riches and status, but mainly that there will be many who are urged on by their spirit man because they sense from the Holy Spirit to repent and seek Him. He described this as a subtle, from the spirit man outward rather than headline grabbing 'The Lord is moving over here' sort of thing. He said there are those who do have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying and they are removing their self-imposed blinders, spiritual gluttons as if awakening from a stupor who suddenly realize where they are and the way they are. 
 
He explained much of it will come through fear from what people see happening around them, and some people will get serious about and/or seek true faith in Him.
 
We're going to see a spiritual dissatisfaction in the west and US like never before, for people will be searching for the real, for the genuine, for what is right, and many will love the Lord with purity and not according to what they think He can do for them. He also said many of the churches that once considered themselves on the cutting edge will continue to become more like the denominations that preceded them and the exodus from them He talked to me about in a 1991 visitation will continue to increase. 
 
He also spoke with tenderness and great joy of those enduring so much in other parts of the world, holding fast to their faith even to death - He is so pleased with so many.  
 
His words matched impressions I had by the Spirit in my spirit from the Father, made earlier this spring. Then, the Father was asking me to pray for the fall in the US, specifically the economy and Congress and (as I've shared before in general terms) reminded me what He said a while back: "The collapse will come when conservatives are in charge". I also shared (recently in this space) about that vision of the Congressman trying to climb backwards up a playground slide, taking a step up but sliding right back down again to where he started. 
 
What the Father put in my spirit was this when He was asking me to pray (for leaders and others that these things may be delayed or avoided): "In the fall term if the Congress does not pass the significant legislation as promised, faith in the economy will waver and the stock market will suffer. Many will call it a correction, but it wlll actually be just the beginning of more significant changes to the nation economically, politically, and culturally." Again that was in context telling me to pray people will do the right thing that many of these things may be avoided or lessened. He also spoke of the culture war going on in the US - we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg but more later. 
 
I've also shared in this space that in spite of what many prophesies have said concerning the President, in my spirit there is a blank, it's just flat, no feeling, no joy. Barb and I were talking like there was a sense he may not finish his term...and that is what the Father said to pray about, that we may live in peace that He may do His work.
 
All these things the Father and Lord will work together to bring maturity to the body of Christ. There are those in the coming days who will become serious about their faith like they have never before - they are going to be waking up as it were from a spiritual slumber, like a sugar-induced nap after a large meal and big dessert. Others will be content where they (spiritually) are...and a separation in the body will become more pronounced between the disciples of Jesus and those who say they are Christians but don't live it.
 
I didn't mean to take up the whole space with this - I also want to encourage you to meet with friends as they did in Acts 2:42: "They were in the apostles teaching and fellowship, and food and prayers." It is simple - relationship based, start with what you have, maybe inviting friends over for a meal, some prayer, some discussion on what the Lord is doing in each life...and with commitment and purpose as you continue in these things it can become a home based church. 
 
I am amazed how much better I feel now that my heart AFib has been corrected - it was really starting to affect me in many ways. Thank you for your prayers and gifts as they are very important to us at this time! Know that your prayer requests you write in via offering envelope and email ARE prayed for and kept track of - thank you for the privilege of doing so!
 
    Blessings,

Hi all,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 
 
Barb had her gallbladder out December 1st and while in there they found gall stone blockage further 'downstream', which required a transfer to the main hospital and another procedure the next day. But she is up and around now and doing well. She has a few more tests in January for some other things, and I have my Afib/cardio consultation January 9 followed within the month by the ablation procedure on my quivering nerve in my upper left heart, but everything in its time. 
            
It has been rather weird for us to be so focused on ourselves the past few months, no long trips, limited Skype and phone calls, limited involvement with our Tulsa core - but needful for health’s sake, not only ours, but some issues with Chris and his health, and the group home. We look forward to the turn of the year and getting more active along with the many trips on the calendar.          
            
Remember this?
Many will recall how the Father told me earlier this year "2017 will be a difficult time for the world" and other things related to the time after the current US President leaves office. Last month you'll recall the vision I shared of the 2 layers of clouds, separate, each layer representing the efforts and focus each has. 
 
If you think that through, it becomes clear the lower cloud level which the Father tied to the soon to be former President's efforts to change everything from voting district boundaries to culture in the big cities and streets, and the upper level being the new President's administration - it becomes clear there will continue to be 2 streams in the US, the 'discussion' about the level of involvement the federal government should have in the lives of its citizens, and to what degree the federal government adheres to the US Constitution. It is a matter of prayer, but the 2 streams that will continue are clearly seen in that vision I've shared about. 
 
You'll also remember that I was flying in between the cloud layers, not touching either. I took it to mean I was representing the larger body of Christ in doing so, showing me there will be a time of protection flying between the layers as we weren't the focus of either layer, and I take comfort in that. He (Father) told me at the time of the top layer; "They will be focused on things which will require their full attention" and of the lower layer, "They are looking down, not up, and will try to affect you (Christians) indirectly - but they will not now succeed." That left me wondering...not now...
 
One of the things the Lord told me recently 
The words He used carry meaning and spiritual baggage for many, so I need to establish the context because what some might think He was talking about isn't at all what He was saying. Just this past week He told me (the Lord, not the Father) we will see the rise of people talking about 'kingdom culture', but His part of it is in a balanced way, though many would veer out of balance with it. 
 
He then started to explain what it was not, saying I would hear of little sects and ministries here and there, and larger groups claiming to be kingdom culture, but they are off balance. It is rare for Him to make blanket statements, so I asked for more detail. He said, "It is their movement, not something I'm doing on a larger scale, but still, I will do what I can within many of them according to the knowledge they have. If they have to advertise as their main point that they are kingdom culture, they aren't. Kingdom culture is who you are, in your spirit, and in your relationships, ever growing and maturing in Me."
 
To Him, kingdom culture involves the core elements we see from the Garden of Eden through the New Testament - family and relationship based faith that is focused on living godly and holy lives. When I asked for chapter and verse He said: "Sure. II Timothy 1:9."The Father has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our efforts, but according to His purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal."
 
He continued: "The Father has saved you and called you with a holy calling. Many who believe have turned aside from this, being self deceived, thinking they can live however they wish, their lusts finding justification they think, in Me." (He was clearly angry at this, His emotion and appearance in His face proving it to the point I was a bit nervous as He spoke, for it reminded me of His instructions and warnings to the 7 churches in The Revelation chapters 2 & 3.)
 
"Kingdom culture in your world includes all that I hold dear - the fruit of the Spirit, the strong and godly character found in my true disciples - THAT is what I am doing, though many will touch only elements and certain aspects and run with it, saying 'We are kingdom culture!' From such turn away, for again I say to you, if they have to announce it in a way to let all know that is their main emphasis, they are not living it, but only have part of it right. Balance son, always balance."
 
Those were some pretty cautionary words and there were more things as well; He talked about how things we call moves of God come and go with the seasons, but He said 2017 will see more unity in the body of Christ where it counts. He told me of some notable people who would die in the coming weeks and months and said to observe the reactions of people. He said His timing is such that as leaders from a past generation die the level of dependence people had on them is revealed, forcing His people to either fall away or focus on Him within. That was one of the most significant points of this visitation - not just Him growing His kingdom within true disciples (and the difference becoming more apparent between true disciples and those who are believers in name only, but His perspective that as leaders die it forces believers to turn inward to Him and them, not Him and that leader's body of work and them. I'll share more at a later time, but for me, I like to digest the visitations I have with Him, and let His words echo around my being awhile...I think you know how that is, like savoring a great taste or aroma. 
 
Jesus is comfortable in any culture, because He is a culture within Himself - and we can be like that too
If you look at the Lord Jesus you see He was comfortable in whatever culture He found Himself. When He was casting Legion out of the Greek man in the 10 Greek cities called ‘Decapolis’* He was just as at ease as He was in Jerusalem. (*Mk 5:20) When He was talking to the Roman Centurion in Matthew 8 He was just as comfortable talking to the Pharisees. Jesus was comfortable in whatever culture and surrounding He was, because He was secure in Himself.
            
When Christ is in us we can also be comfortable in whatever culture we find ourselves –from the home of an unbeliever to an auditorium church to someone’s living room – if we focus on Christ in us and His ease.
            
That the Lord Jesus was willing to come to earth, let alone be born in a stable, shows us He is comfortable in any culture – from a stable in Bethlehem to our own hearts. 
 
Translators needed! We are still looking for people to translate my Weekly Thoughts and e-newsletters into Finnish, German, and other languages - even if you aren't able to do it on a weekly basis, consider 2x per month on the Weekly Thoughts - thank you! Contact Wil and Ank at cwowi@solcon.nl for information. 
 
Wil and Ank - they had an accident that totaled their car as it was an older model so it didn't take much to render it un-fixable! lol. But...their desire is to buy a good used car outright to replace it and we are asking for help in that. Barb and I have contributed as well as CWOWI, and are opening it to others who want to help. They travel all over the Netherlands in the work of the Lord, as well as use it for work and such, so the need is genuine and urgent. If you would like you can contribute through the EU web site or our US site, cwowi.org, or if in the US you can also mail a contribution - just mark 'for Wil' and we'll make sure it gets to them. 
 
May we continue to grow in Jesus’ culture however, focusing not so much on what He can do for us, but how we might be conformed to His image and His ‘culture’. Kingdom culture. Thank you for your giving and prayers. Blessings and much love!
John & Barb
 
 

Hi all,
I have so much to write about and update you on...first, I received quite a few people from around the world who were curious about last month's word for the US based mail-out newsletter, so I've decided to share a bit here as well. You won't be lost if you didn't get last month's newsletter, so I'll pick it up with this month's mail-out 'part two', now included in this e-newsletter.
 
I also want to mention I'm doing Wednesday morning teachings live on Facebook - about 10 minutes each - I felt prompted to do this, and so I just ask the Father what He has in mind, and it just drops in me so I share basic points. I also post them on YouTube, just look up John C Fenn videos and you should see a few. 
 
Some catching up to things the Father has told me:
I've shared several times before (but just to make sure everyone is on the same page), "The President and his policies will be more dangerous after he leaves office than when he was in" and "The collapse will come when conservatives are in charge" and the vision that went with that word:  It was a vision of a playground slide with a man in a suit that I knew represented conservative's efforts, trying to climb the slide but every time he got part way up he would slide right down again, representing efforts to control entitlement programs and the budget expenses of the nation. I expect from that word progress will be made, but it won't be smooth sailing and will have setbacks. 
 
With the election we have some clarity. His word to me that was if I recall in September 2004 in context about terrorist attacks on US soil that was 'Watch out when Hilary takes office" can be seen as Secretary of State and the many attacks in this nation since 2009, and the larger changes in the nation - we certainly have had to 'watch out'.
 
To pick up on the vision in October:
As the Father was speaking: I was flying (I thought just me at first, but then I realized I was in an airplane that represented the body of Christ in the US) - looking over the nation, in between cloud layers, in safety in sunshine (Son-shine) between 2 layers as the Father spoke.
             
The bottom layer, closest to the ground, was what He told me (Obama) would be doing in the cities to organize and move things around in terms of voting districts and people in the near future, and being smart about how they plan to change the nation. That is the main point; He said that he will be working to rearrange voting districts and pulling together formerly disconnected or loosely connected people into an organized movement and network across the big cities, which will be in place to stir civil unrest in the future.
 
He kept saying he and they were going to be 'smart' about it - the emphasis was on the organizing of demonstrations and dogged pursuit of change against the 'normal' American culture. Much of it would be unseen by most, and all this was what the bottom cloud layer was about, and it was an attempt at a grassroots organizing of protests for the purpose of breaking down society in opposition to what others are trying to do.
 
As He spoke it was like a playback of a highlights film before me, of instances when people disagreed with the President and he accused those who disagreed with him of being racist or homophobic and so on – unwilling to discuss issues intellectually, so he fell back to personal accusations directed to those who opposed his ideas. 
 
Suddenly I saw him behind the scene in a puppet stage pulling strings unseen as a puppeteer using agencies and individuals to harass Christians and conservatives and such. (I’m just giving the main points lightly here for the sake of space) And I heard the Father say, “Now imagine taking that to a local level and organizing people who believe those things into a nation-wide network.” Only then did I get the scope of what He was showing me – the cloud covered most of the land, heaviest in the eastern US at first but almost in the Midwest equally so.
 
The top layer of cloud not visible from the ground was the new administration and there was a separation between the two cloud layers - as I said with us flying in between; one layer doing one thing and the top layer doing another, with me (us) flying in between.
               
This is the most important part for us: I was totally in peace - I was in between those layers - between the ugliness in the unrest in the cities and society, and in between the government's agenda: I (we) were in sunshine (Sonshine) in a safe place and flying (a type of going about life) in smooth air. 
 
I've shared before how the Father often shares with me 'big picture' things while the Lord talks of the body of Christ. About 2 days after this word from the Father the Lord started talking to me about what would be going on in the body of Christ in this time, both in the US and around the world. 
 
In the US He said church buildings - not just conservatives and Christians and Jews - but houses of worship will be attacked, and there is coming a time when many will not feel safe 'going to church'. He spoke of the continued rise of family and home based churches, and as He spoke a vision played out before me:
 
He and I were suddenly in someone's living room, standing more in the corner of the room while several people were talking and eating and playing with kids who were playing with some toy just off-center in the room. As they talked and some interacted with the small children, the Lord started pointing to different ones in the room, noting their particular differences theologically and emotionally with others in the room. 
 
I won't share the details of what He said of each person in case what He was showing me was real people at some future time, but He pointed to a man and noted he believed some end times things that were different than anyone else in that church. He pointed to a woman who had strife issues He said with another woman in the room. He pointed to another couple and talked of their marriage difficulties, and so on around the room...including questions and hurts some of the children had. 
 
And then He stopped and turn fully towards me saying, "But in that day, none of these things will matter. The days of luxury this nation and much of the world has had to dwell on differences of doctrine and arguments between themselves, are over. He was smiling as He talked, and I got the feeling He was inwardly thinking "Finally!" when He continued, 
 
"Love will become the focus and many will grow up in that day and know what is truly important, which they've actually known all along but have stubbornly stuck to their childish ways. But there will be still more who have been caught up in the world and petty strifes and things which never were important, and they will be afraid and insecure when they see such things around them. Thinking they have been people of faith, they will discover they were not for they will have no peace- this is one way you'll know them - they won't have peace -  but had placed their faith in man and man's doctrines and not me nor those who mind the things of me. In that day be gracious to those who repent, and watch that your heart not be hardened against them, though they knew all along the path to walk."
 
And there was more - but enough for now. Barb and I have long talked what would happen in the US if conservatives ever grew a backbone and put controls on federal spending and how those who are used to getting things for free would rebel - think that through Americans. But I also know there will be others who will rise up to confront some of the demonstrations and rioting that will come on this nation...a battle for the soul of the US is about to be engaged. Pray some of these things will be lessened or not happen at all.
 
On a personal note - we've been dealing with several things roughly the last 3-4 months I've not said anything about other than me and my AFib and battle to lose about 10 more pounds. I'm down 45 from my high, but still have 10 to go. Barb has been dealing with thyroid cysts which affect her whole system and after the first of the year will probably have the required surgery. But first, about the first of December will also be having her gallbladder removed - lots of tests these last 3 months, lots of thinking and research and prayer and...money, lol. That has been rough for her affecting everything in life, for the gallbladder, liver, and thyroid are all connected...so it has been rough, but she is very private and only now gave me permission to ask for prayer as she is nervous about it all, and just share with people. 
 
Our insurance has a $7500 deductible, its the level of coverage we can afford as even for the 2 of us with our Christian co-op sharing it still costs over $500 per month for coverage, so we've been paying cash as we go and been able, plus the monthly fee - all I've alluded to in the newsletters is that we have some needs right now - but this surgery will be a big one as they're going to do a couple procedures, and then probably her thyroid cysts (at least) removed in January - so keep Barb in prayer, thanks so much. 
 
As many of you know, health issues have a way of wearing you out and taking a lot of time. With each blood test, ultrasound, CT and MRI it is another doctor, another week, another missed communication leaving the sick person to bridge the gap between medical specialties when they aren't running here and there having tests and consultatons...it has worn her out.
 
Chris - I had a meeting with the leadership (CEO) of the group home - a company with about 300 or more clients in homes all over Northeast Oklahoma - trying to settle some issues we're having in Chris' group home while also providing ideas and solutions for the whole company. It was a good meeting, but we've had to deal a lot with staff changes and Chris' behaviors and such...thanks for your prayers.
 
In terms of family and home based house churches - they continue to be in all stages all over the globe. As I've said all along, it is the relationships that count - the world will pass but we are already in eternity and will know each other thousands of years from now - so we need to do as the Word says and make allowances for one another, be quick to apologize and make things right, and lose the focus on trivial fringe doctrines that cause fear and uncertainty. 
 
Trips - depending on Barb's surgery(s) I'm still planning to start traveling again in February, but we've really needed this time to focus on her and Chris and network things. I hope you understand, I'm not flashy, we're just us trying to walk with the Father as best as we know. There are so many times I ask the Father how in the world He expects me to care for Chris 2 days a week plus the medical things and staff things Barb coordinates, do the ministry with all the prayer and study and writing and video and recording and traveling, and juggle sometimes everything from life and death issues half way across the world or closer to home, or soothe someone's hurt feelings over things they brought on themselves...it gets tiring. We are looking forward to the Thanksgiving break.
 
So that is why those of you who pray for us are so important. We've had people email saying we've been on their hearts are we okay, but I was only able to respond in generalities - and in the US those who send in prayer requests, and those who email - know that we love you, I pray for those requests - from getting a relative out of prison to healed relationship between parent and adult child to looking for work  and so much more - it is a privilege to pray for you. 
 
And to those who go the extra mile to donate and join with us in the ministry to the saints, no matter how big or small the gift, you will never know this side of eternity how your generosity and consistency bless us and provide for us. There are so many times the Father uses people just in the nick of time, and we just shake our heads in humble amazement of His care for us through you. Thank you for being in our lives, blessings,
John & Barb

Hi all,
First a quick message for those in the US reading this: If you live in the US please read the mail-out newsletter coming this week for a prophetic message for the nation that is not in this e-newsletter (that goes out to so many nations). I"m not putting it online. The content of the mail out newsletter is always different than the e-newsletter for that reason, but this month I share a particularly 'heavy' recent word and vision from the Father for the US you might be interested in. 
 
Facebook live
I'm doing about 1 Facebook Live video per week so if you are on Facebook you can look up John C Fenn and see and/or follow me for video and written posts. We're working on posting them on my YouTube channel but it seems more difficult than a simple forward and I'm (we're) still learning the process - but a couple of Facebook videos are there and I plan on doing one around the middle of each week. They are in the 5 to 10 minute range, but not over 10 minutes for sure. 
 
Health, travels
On a personal note, I continue losing 1-2 pounds (.5-.9k) per week to reach my goal of no more than 250 (113k) so as of this writing I still have 8 to go, with a loss so far of 22 pounds (10k) since discovering my AFib and high blood pressure. In terms of my highest weight (because I lost some weight knowing I was going to have that physical back in January, lol...vanity, vanity...I've lost 46 pounds (20k) grand total overall. Once I have a time at the goal weight or a bit below and my blood pressure remains there, I'll be looking at the ablatian for the AFib in February. 
 
I'm planing a Chicago/northern Illinois/Kenosha area visit in early February, more details later, and planning Lithuania in the second half of March though exact details aren't set. I'm also praying about a separate Finland and maybe Nordic nation trip but it's just being 'birthed' in my spirit as to what the Father wants, but I know one is coming but not when yet - just that He wants me to do a separate trip there. Open to suggestions on that!
 
Also remember our Dutch conference May 25-28 which is during the US holiday, Memorial Day weekend. We are planning on spending a couple days after the conference with anyone who can stay to see some of the Netherlands. You can go and return in a week, and what a week it should be!
 
The Dutch conference is at a retreat center in a rural area outside a small town, so we are all lodged in the same place and eat our meals together and have time to visit. It is a time of a variety of things in the Lord ranging from teaching to question and answer to the move of the Father and Lord in our midst, to spending time with me and others from several nations 'hanging out' together. The Dutch conference is the place to be. 
 
Speaking of the Netherlands, Wil and Ank will be moving to their new home the end of March - a beautiful home and setting better capable of hosting (home) meetings and regional gatherings and guests, and we all sensed such peace the Father had something like this for them. They do so much in communication, coordination, and teaching all who are doing and interested in family and home based church in Europe, and they are so loved and appreciated. They also travel extensively in Europe and host folks as well, so this home is perfect. They extend their thanks for those who gave and who have committed to helping monthly, and gifts between now and their move will be appreciated so they can make the move well supplied and furnished for all that will be needed in the transition. 
 
Ezekiel 38 lining up
One of the most intriguing statements in Ezekiel 38 about the prophesied war between what most believe is a Russian led alliance against Israel, is that God says "I will turn you about, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth with all your armies..." (v4)
 
The 'turn you about' indicates a changing foreign policy for Russia. In other words before, it wasn't interested in direct military involvement in the Middle East, but is now turned around and pulled into that region, choosing to align itself with what is modern day Turkey, Iran, and others. 
 
To have 'hooks in your jaws' means being pulled in at first perhaps, unwillingly, almost lured in. That understanding makes sense because verse 10 says that in those days a thought will come to (him) and an 'evil plan' will be devised to invade Israel for the purpose of taking spoil. It reveals that invading Israel wasn't on the agenda at the first, when they are drawn into Middle East conflicts.
 
That is exactly the process going on right now isn't it? In the last month we've seen Turkey and Russia not only get closer, but are working militarily together in Syria to support the current government, while the US continues to talk big but in practice back away overall. The hooks are in the jaws, and the next thing at some point in the future will be the thought to go further into the Middle East by invading Israel. Obviously that won't happen as long as the US has a presence and will to be involved with Israel and the Middle East...so watch the election in the US, for if it goes one way we may have time due to strong Presidential support for Israel, if it goes another way things will continue as they are.
 
China
Also interesting is the President of the Philippines saying he is backing his nation away from the US, this said after he spent time with China's leaders to develop agreements for their increased involvement in his nation. Many of you will recall the times I've shared a visitation from 1991 or '92 where the Lord told me; "...(most) are focused on the wall coming down and the fall of the USSR, but they should be focused on China, for she will become an economic powerhouse and seek to swallow up all of Asia and much of the world if she could, but this she must do to fulfill her role in the end times." 
 
I've never forgotten those words and that visitation for He confirmed we are in the end times and my understanding of the basic scenario. The economic growth of China can be seen from the Panama Canal (ownership) and them buying the largest port in the Canal in May, to Africa to the Philippines, and more. And of course military advancement often follows economic advancement, so expect to see more of China in the news - but they aren't involved in the Ezekiel 38 war, they are part of the 200 million man army that invades Israel about 7 years after the Ezekiel 38 war, which will be Armageddon and the return of the Lord. 
 
Meetings in homes and Abraham - what do they have in common?
In Genesis 18 in the writing style of Moses and Joshua, we see 3 men having a meal with Abraham. Moses and Joshua's style was to show the natural view first, and then reveal the spiritual view and truth. This can be seen in several places, including Jacob wrestling with what is said to be a man initially, but who turns out to be the Lord*. Also Joshua is confronted by a man with sword drawn outside Jericho* and who turns out to be the Lord as Captain of the Lord of Host's army. He reveals how Joshua is to conquer Jericho. *Genesis 32:22-32, Joshua 5:13-15, 6:1-5. 
 
Note, Joshua worshipped the Lord and removed his shoes in His presence, revealing this was the Lord and not an angel, as erroneously reported by some who claimed to have met 'the angel' that met Joshua. Angels don't receive worship and only God commands men in the OT to remove their shoes (Shoes are man made and we don't approach God of our own doing or device). So if you hear someone or read a book claiming that person talked to the 'angel' Joshua talked to, the 'angel' that person talked to wasn't one of God's angels...but a demon appearing as one. Toss the book or recording for it is full of error as is the author or speaker. 
 
In Genesis 18 we are told 3 men walk up to Abraham, who invites them to dinner, and they 3 are served by Abraham himself who stands by them as they eat. Only then, after the meal is eaten, is it revealed it is the Lord and 2 angels, for the Lord tells them Sarah will have a son about that time next year, and then the 2 angels leave to go to Sodom to rescue Lot and his family which is seen in the next chapter. But the Lord lingers behind and says within Himself:
 
"Shall I hide from Abraham that which I'm about to do? Since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation...for I have known him that he will teach his children and his household after him to keep the ways of the Lord and to do what is just and righteous..."
 
Meetings start out 'in the natural'
In the same way Moses and Joshua's style of writing was to provide the natural appearance of things first, and then reveal the supernatural truth, so it is with many, many things of the Lord - how many of us have started our walk with Him, or had experiences that started quite normally and naturally but turned out to be a God-encounter? 
 
So is it with home based church and relationships. If you attend a house church meeting you won't be impressed. There is no choir, no stained glass, no Italian marble in a foyer cafe' where you and 200 people are offered coffee and pastries. 
 
You walk into a home - if you don't know someone there you will be nervous entering a home you've never been to before, and it all seems quite normal, natural, and you won't be impressed. No one will hand you a bulletin or order of service. No smartly dressed usher will seat you - you may be greeted by the family dog, a toddler with mouth covered in breakfast may try to give you a slobbery greeting, you may even see a glimpse of someone dashing off to finish their make up or hair or put their socks on. 
 
It's all normal, the natural view if you were Moses or Joshua writing about it. But if you will stay, if you will invest yourself in the people, if you will allow yourself to get out of your comfort zone a few weeks in a row - the spiritual and supernatural will be revealed to you. 
 
The auditorium church affirms people differently than a family based home church 
In the auditorium a person is affirmed and put at ease with the order, the routine, the surroundings of woods and carpets, architecture and history - all appeal to the emotions and physical senses to make one feel at ease and secure and safe.
 
The family based home church is boring by contrast. The degree to which you will be unimpressed and bored reveals the degree to which your mind is trained by the auditorium church with expectations to be affirmed in that same way. If you are out of your comfort zone by the idea of church in the family and home, then you don't know your Bible nor culture of God - in other words, a normal Christian. ha!
 
We've been born into and adopted into the family of God. It's all family based. Jesus went to prepare a home for us where His Father and He live. Too late, it's all family based. You will still know 100,000 years from now the Christians you know now. It's all family and relationship based! Start renewing your mind to think as God thinks and be willing to transition from a structure based faith to God's family based faith - you aren't confused by family and home based church, you were confused by the auditorium culture and the light of God's Word and ways are shining light on your confusion for the first time. 
 
Also note what the Lord said back in Genesis 18:17-19: He based His giving revelation into the earth on the spiritual life of Abraham's family. "Shall I hide from Abraham that which I'm about to do...seeing he will raise up his household and children in the ways of the Lord..."
 
If you want revelation from heaven, it starts with meeting the Lord in your home, with your spouse, family, friends; in your relationships. The Father is a Spirit, so He affirms us in our spirits, not our flesh. That is why walking into a family based home church appears all normal and natural and without an initial clue that something supernatural is about to happen and be revealed. Learn to be affirmed in your spirit instead of your flesh. 
 
But stick around that home church...invest in the family of God, invest in the relationships and see the supernatural work of God in action. It will be messy. You will get to know people without their church faces on. You may even take off your church face to reveal what is really happening, thereby allowing God's power to move through those people to heal, to comfort, to provide an inspired word to you. 
 
Thank you for your prayers - there are some things happening I'm not at liberty to discuss, but we appreciate your prayers. Chris has had several weeks of peace at his group home, thank you for your prayers for him. We appreciate your financial support, for joining with us in ministry to the saints in so many nations.
 
    Blessings!

Hi all,
Thanks for those asking about my Atrial fibrillation - AFib - the doctor said to lose another 10-20 pounds to be sure my blood pressure is down to normal, and he will see me in February to discuss the nerve ablation, which is when they insert an electrical probe to the nerve in the heart that is firing continually, and with a shot of electricity, deaden that nerve so it doesn't fire at all.
 
I'm praying, as I'm not sure I want to do that because I don't seem to have symptoms of anything wrong. But at the same time I wonder if the AFib is like the 'check engine' light on the car - nothing major is wrong but it needs to be corrected at some point as it could lead to something more wrong down the road...thanks for praying for me. I will go with peace and whatever the Father says or leads, but that peace and direction often comes only after gathering all the information possible and THEN He speaks or directs. So I will lose weight and talk to them in February.
 
“Watch out when Hillary takes office”
I don't like to keep going over this but I continue to receive many emails about what the Father told me so let me set the context. In the spring of that year He had told me of a plot to smuggle shoulder fired missiles/RPG into the US to shoot down aircraft and launch attacks, and He said “You need to pray.” So I did, asking the Father to have the plot discovered and stopped, and in August or September the discovery of the plot made the news (I’m just a small cell in the body of Christ so I’m sure many were praying).
 
As a result of that plot being uncovered I asked the Father in context of terrorist attacks on US soil, “How’s the country now?” and He replied, “Okay for now, but watch out when Hillary takes office.”
 
At the time she was a US Senator and a few years later, in 2009, she was named Secretary of State. So I consider that word fulfilled when she became Secretary of State in 2009, for we have seen an escalation in terror attacks in the US since then, almost on a monthly if not weekly basis it seems at times.
 
But the larger ‘watch out’ is broader than just terror attacks within the US, for the culture and economy of the US have declined faster than anyone thought possible in that same time frame He outlined. So I wonder if that was what He was talking about, or if the larger fulfillment will be her being elected and the negative in a much more intense and larger scale. We watch and pray.
 
Additionally
After I first shared that some 12 years ago, a friend told me that William Branham saw in 1933, before he got off-balance in his beliefs, a vision of a time in the US with driverless cars that were shaped similar to eggs, women cutting their hair, dressing like men and shedding their clothes, and well as a beautiful woman become President who rules with cruelty, followed by explosions all over the US. (Not to insult the nominee, but in 1933 a man seeing a vision of 83 years in the future of a glossy made up for TV woman President might be described by him as beautiful)
 
I don’t fear, but I watch and pray. My main focus is actually on the amazing things the Lord is doing all over the world, family to family, friend to friend, home to home – focus on Him and news related to what He is doing and you won’t have fear of world events.
 
You may also recall (I've shared this a few times) the Father told me; "The President and his policies will be more dangerous after he leaves office than when he was in (office)." Last week a friend sent me a link to the President's interview with Historian Doris Kearns, in which he said he planned to start speaking out more like an activist than a president after he leaves office. Traditionally former presidents step aside and don't comment, but the US and world should be ready for the first post-office activist president. 
 
Translators needed
Our German and Finnish translators are overwhelmed and we need help! They have faithfully translated my Weekly Thoughts and e-newsletters for years, but things have fallen on their shoulders alone and it is time to take some of that load - if you are interested in translating my Weekly Thoughts and e-newsletters into German or Finnish (or other language if interested and needed) please contact Wil Kleinmeulman at cwowi@solcon.nl for information. Thanks!
 
30th anniversary of the Lord appearing to me October, 1, 1986
That 10/1/86 teaching visitation was the 2nd time I had seen Him, the first being in April of that year, but the first of many teaching visitations – and this one impacted my life more than any other. He opened by saying “I want to teach you how to hear the Father’s voice”, and then taught for a total of about 50 minutes. I’ve shared the core points in a DVD recorded at TV7 in Finland, and also several CD/MP3 series, and we’re offering those series at a discount this month in addition to the new series, "The Friendship Crisis; When Christian Friends Act Like Unbelievers". I’d also suggest reading my first book, Pursuing the Seasons of God (available as an e-book too), which details many of the early visitations from 1986-1992.
 
Facebook Live
I'm going to start doing live Facebook mini-teachings, just a few minutes in length each - if you happen to be on FB while I am you can listen and watch live, and if not they will be posted to be watched when you sign on. I don't have a regular schedule, but they will be things on my heart, food for thought, short teachings and things to think about - so watch for those in the coming weeks.
 
House church; Not something you 'do', something you live
As I scan the world for what works and what doesn't work in house church, the key of course is the relationships not the house - meeting in homes is the natural outgrowth of those relationships. As we get to know someone it is natural to invite them into our home, share a meal, and from there having a time of prayer, worship, thoughts on something the Lord has shown or taught us, is natural.
 
We continue to see rotating who leads each week, and rotating homes as it is practical works best - across borders, across cultures - this seems to be what they did in Acts - going "house to house" as it says. Even if you meet in the same home most of the time, rotate who leads each week.
 
In the New Testament we see 'main homes' with key leaders mentioned by Paul in his letters - Gaius Justus in Corinth, Lydia in Philippi, Philemon in Colossae, and Aquila and Priscilla seemed to have opened their home no matter where they lived, for they are mentioned as hosting in Rome as well as Ephesus, Nymphas in Laodecia, Jason in Thessalonica, and so on.
 
For many, the fact the letters of the New Testament were written to specific individuals and the members of the body of Christ that met in homes, is a revelation. Many never connect the names in Acts with our titles of the letters, missing the fact that Paul was writing letters to real people in real homes. This means if you've tried to understand the New Testament (even the gospels) through the auditorium setting you have understood it all wrong - the instructions written to them were in the context of relationship based faith as they met in homes. The 5-fold, the gifts of the Spirit, giving and receiving - all in context as written, were to be practiced in homes within close relationships in Christ. And this is what God is doing all over the world!
 
The investment of ourselves in relationships
One of the most frustrating aspects of house church I hear is the contrast between those willing to invest themselves in others by getting to know them, versus those who come to house church to be fed like a baby bird. Often they are people in search of a home, of safety as they define it - meaning they can sit and do absolutely nothing other than 'receive'.
 
There is space for that in house church, but what happens is that person will at some point just a few weeks later, open up and begin sharing like everyone else (if they will stick with it and return).
 
That said, taking the step to get to know new people is huge. That is why most growth in house church in scripture and today, is through friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers. Relatively rare is the stranger who comes to house church knowing no one there, and stays.
 
Invest in each other by sharing meals together, lunch hours, outdoor events, social events, prayer, worship, study of the Word - share life! This world will pass away, but people are forever. Look at the big picture that you and I and those we lay down our lives for in Christ, will still know each other 1,000 years from now. You can get over the bumps that naturally occur in relationships if you look at the big picture.
 
Thank you!
Paul said of those who contributed to his ministry in II Corinthians 8:4, they gave for the “privilege of sharing in this ministry to the Lord’s people.” It is a privilege to give so as to share in ministry to the Lord's people.
 
As in Paul's day, not everyone has this in their hearts, even many who have been with us and CWOWI for years never or rarely give - so we are very thankful for those who do remember us in their giving. Not that we want it solely for us, but that giving and receiving is part of a mature and balanced Christian life which is our call in life, to mature people in Christ. And when we see people walking in this grace of giving, it means we have had an impact in their growth in Christ which causes us to give thanks to the Father.
 
    Thank you so much! Love and blessings upon you and yours,

Hi all,
As we reach the middle of August I wonder where the summer went! (Greetings to our Aussie, Kiwi, and RSA friends, who are looking for spring).
 
The Lord seems to move in seasons* rather than minutes and seconds, which sometimes causes us to be anxious because we live in a minutes and seconds world. We observe that "God came through at the last second" while He is thinking He provided the answer within His season of our life. *Genesis 1:14
 
Your seasons used to be your own, but now they belong to Him
In John 7:3-5 it is recorded Jesus' unbelieving brothers teased Him about going up to the Feast of Tabernacles and proving Himself to His followers. (Later at least 2 of His brothers would become believers, leaders, and authored 2 letters of our New Testament: James and Jude)
 
When they told Him to go up to the feast to prove himself, He responded in verse 6: "My time (Greek; season) has not yet come, but your time (season) is ready anytime." (Gk; hetoimos, ready, standing by).
 
Jesus marks a difference between those who believe in Him and those who don't: Those who don't believe in Him are in control of their own seasons of life. But Jesus was sensitive to the Father's seasons for His life, indicating the time wasn't yet right for Him to attend the feast, yet He didn't say why.
 
And that is how it is with us today. The Lord doesn't always reveal the timing and events within a season of our lives, but we are submitted to Him, trusting He is in ultimate control of our seasons. We do know however, that in each season He expects us to use it to grow in Him.
 
Yesterday I taught in one of the house churches from Psalm 37:23 which says in the King James Version: "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and He delights in his way."
 
The Lord takes delight in your life
We all compared various translations and all agreed the second half of that verse says that God delights Himself in (a good person's) way. The Amplified Bible translates the second half of the verse this way: "...He delights in his way and He busies Himself with his every step."
 
That is amazing - The Father busies Himself with our every step. Linking the two together we realize if we submit our seasons of life to the Lord He not only orders our steps, but He finds delight in doing so, and personally involves Himself in our every step. Unbelievers don't have that blessing, and there is great peace in knowing He is in ultimate control and guiding our steps - no matter what it looks like right now.
 
There is a rest and peace that comes upon us when we join Him in looking at the big picture of our lives - as Hebrews 4:9-11 so states, our labor is not to stir up faith, but to enter into rest. Faith is a spiritual force that Satan cannot touch, so he attacks our peace by destroying hope.
Our effort is to stay in the peace, and hope is strengthened best by stepping back and realizing we've submitted the seasons of our life to Him, and He is involving Himself in our every step. Ahhhh....that is so nice.
 
A personal note
Especially over the summer when people go on vacations and take holidays and such, we've been especially blessed by those of you who continue to remember us in your giving, especially monthly giving, because in such a busy season you remember us and our work in the Lord - thank you so much for your conistency.
 
Paul wrote of the household of Stephanus in I Corinthians 16:15; ‘who have addicted (devoted) themselves to the ministry of the saints’. And in his second letter to them, speaking of the Philippians and others in that area that they ‘urgently pleaded with us for the privilege in sharing of this ministry to the Lord’s people…and they gave themselves first to the Lord, and then by the will of God to us.’
 
Barb and I thank you so much, those who have given their hearts first to the Lord, and then out of that appreciation and love, to us - thank you!
 
Update on Wil and Ank's move to a larger home
Wil and Ank send their thanks as people have responded with enough pledges of support for their opportunity to move out of their town house into a large country home, big enough to host people and hold regional house church conferences. We add our thanks to theirs for those who have responded!
 
Prophetic happenings in the news
Things lining up for the Ezekiel 38 war in the news include now not-so-secret meetings between Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other Arab nations, formulating agreements and plans against Iran’s increasing presence in Syria and the Mid-east. Remember that Ezekiel mentions ‘Sheba and Dedan’ in particular, understood by most to be modern Saudi Arabia and other smaller Arab nations in the region, joining with Israel and her allies against a future Iranian and Russian invasion.
 
And of course the failed coup in Turkey is very important prophetically, for it has tipped Turkey away from the US and the EU, now re-formalizing relations with Russia, including talks of more Russian pipelines for gas/oil through Turkey, and the building of a nuclear power facility in Turkey.
History records the last Caliphate, a multi-nation Muslim rule, was out of Turkey known as the Ottoman rule, which ended in 1922. Some say Turkey wants to re-establish itself as the Muslim leader in the Mideast, and it seems headed in that direction. Again, in 3 separate visitations with the Lord going back into the 1990’s, He has told me ‘watch Turkey’ – so we watch and pray. CWOWI has friends in Ankara, and life is hard…praying.
 
House church isn't about the house
House church isn't about the house, it's about the church, which is the people. Those relationships are #1. Think outside the 'church' mentality and be creative in how you invest in one another. Lunch hour meals together to reconnect, an evening meal together, inviting someone to join you in a walk, bike ride, movie, window shopping or something creative.
 
Even if you are just 1 person wanting to start a house church, don't start by holding 'church'. Start by investing in people. House church isn't a program or model of how to do church, meeting in homes is the natural result of healthy relationships in Christ. Invest therefore in relationships and at some point you will want to gather in a home for a meal, some prayer, maybe some worship or study of the Word...we will know each other and be together for eternity, so act like it. Invest in your relationships!
 
I'm so, so saddened by the shallow and immature Christians who attend a house church for awhile, then who break off fellowship because of doctrinal differences or they don't get to spout their favorite slightly off the norm belief at every meeting. In the auditorium church people come and go like that all the time because they find no place to share their view, so end up going nowhere and their leaving isn't even noticed.
 
But in house church the numbers are small and they are noticed and loved, and when they leave it makes a hole. They are missed as the others truly loved them, but they reveal they were only in it in the hopes of sharing their particular belief. Jesus brought them to that house church in the hopes they would grow into balance through healthy relationships rather than the false relationships offered by (for instance) web sites that theorize this whose currency is fear. In leaving real people and real relationships they reject His plan for why He brought others into their lives, going with their own plan for their life. That is idolatry.
 
The larger picture - is that new affiliates in the US and other nations continue, and all are on the same spiritual page, eager to celebrate Jesus with others and grow in Him. It is SO exciting and so exactly what we see in Acts - growth and people coming to the Lord in the midst of life's difficulties. 
 
Thank you for being part of our lives, Barb and I appreciate you very much. Keep us in prayer, Chris especially, as we've had a very hard time with his behavior at the group home. With our travel and hosting schedules his normal routine of coming home Friday and Saturday has been disrupted, and he has been confused as to when dad is coming to get him, leading to fits of anger and such...thank you. And thank you again for remembering us in your giving, joining yourselves with us in this work of the Lord.
 
    Blessings!

Hi all,
If you live in the US I encourage you to get on our mail-out newsletter list as the content is usually very different than this e-newsletter that goes to so many people in many nations. The mail out newsletter is more personal about what is happening in our lives, while the e-newsletter usually includes some teaching and other thoughts.
 
Prophetically – Remember the Father told me in September 2003 to “Watch out when Hillary takes office”, and about 2 years ago (I haven’t’ shared this publically before now that I recall), “The President (Obama) and his policies will be more dangerous after he leaves office than when he was in office.”
 
But the ‘watch out’ part has certainly been true since 2009 when Hillary became Secretary of State, so that has been fulfilled as we've certainly seen massive changes to our nation since then. But time will tell if He was speaking of a still larger ‘office.’
 
I had mentioned earlier the Father told me "The last half of the year will be difficult for many." Of course a statement like that can be said of any given 6 months in history - but when the Father specifically made that statement to me, I took it as having a deeper meaning, that things unusual would happen in the world. 
 
Having seen the terrorism and political happenings around the world already, from Brexit to Dallas and other violence against police, to Turkey to Nice, France and more, and we're only in mid-July, I am really praying about these last 5 months. He had already said as I've shared before "2017 will be a difficult time for the world", so I'm 'gearing up' spiritually so to speak.
 
But again I go back to a visitation in early 2010 when I was asking about the Arab Spring and Egypt and other things, and after telling me a few things He said, "But what are these things to you? As for you, you must be about the Father's business."
 
Christ is in us, and He is rock solid steady. We must as individuals, each be about the business the Father has for us in our sphere of life; Our spouses, family, work, those we fellowship with - those are our priorities. Watch, pray, observe, but don't fear.  And remember, we are human beings, not human doings. First 'be', then 'do', in that order.
 
Practical house church tips - You are the host so you set the rules. If people need to be out by a certain time, tell them that up front. If you close the doors to certain rooms tell them they are closed for a reason and to stay out. Set the rules, you are the host. If it is any consolation, Paul had to instruct the Corinthians on such social skills in I Corinthians 14 starting in v26. Those included take turns, don't interrupt one another, anything you say will be judged and could be rejected, don't dominate conversation, and more. 
 
In our first year of starting CWOWI we had a couple lead a house church that met Sunday mornings at 10am. They would tell of how people would stay until 11pm, and even go home, get their swim suits, and come back for dinner and sit in the hot tub until almost midnight!
 
We told them that is not wise, that people are there for house church - to celebrate Jesus and what we have in common in Him, and to grow as people and believers. As such our advice was to limit the meetings to a couple hours or as the Lord moved, but certainly to dismiss in time for people to have the rest of the day.
 
This couple complained about it, not wanting to hurt feelings, but torn because they had to get up early the next day for work, so for the sake of not wanting to hurt feelings they wouldn't set limits. The end result was they burned out as predicted, and aren't doing house church today.
 
Rotate - another tip is rotate who leads, and rotate homes. We've found this pattern seen in Acts 2:46 and elsewhere, works no matter the culture or nation. If it isn't possible to rotate homes each week, at least rotate who leads the meetings. And by that I don't mean a rotation among just 3 people, but rather give everyone the opportunity to lead a meeting. We've had several house church meetings that have been led by children and teens - share the responsibility!
 
And leading doesn't have to mean the whole thing - be creative, maybe someone new only feels comfortable picking out some worship songs while asking someone else to share the Word or what's on their heart. It isn't a competition, it only needs to be non-controversial and instead focused on what we have in common - and people can share depending on the grace He has given them. A person who loves to worship, may lead everyone in worship without any 'teaching' from the Word. An intercessor may lead everyone in prayer. A teacher may skip a time of worship altogether and just share from the Word - allow people to share according to their grace.
 
We've found a house church is more vibrant if it limits studies from books or other curriculum, choosing rather to rotate each week who shares, making each meeting different. If one feels led to share from a book or lesson, do so only when they host and/or lead rather than each week, or at least limit such set in stone schedule to no more than a month of meetings - trust Christ in each person, and remember that a little wild fire is preferable to no fire. People will come back to balance with gentle guidance.
 
Live intentionally towards one another - don't let that weekly meeting be the only time you see and/or communicate with one another. Invest in the relationships by making the effort to have lunch with someone in your house church once a week. Invite someone from your group over for dinner mid-week. Be creative; moms and young kids get together, have a men's get together over sports or meal or something all agree on. Maintain social media contact and stay in touch so that the weekly meeting is merely a continuation of the relationship.
 
May Dutch Conference
Our Dutch conference next year is held on the USA's Memorial Day weekend, starting Thursday, May 25th through Sunday the 28th. (Memorial Day is Monday the 29th)
 
I encourage you to prayerfully consider coming to the conference. It is a mix of fellowship, worship, teaching, and move of the Spirit, all in a retreat setting where we eat together at a nice facility on beautiful grounds in rural Netherlands. We usually have people from 6 to 15 nations attending and you will certainly gain many new friends! 
 
The plan is that after the conference, from Monday (Memorial Day in the US) the 29 through Wednesday the 31st, those who wish can stay over and site see with Barb and I. The Netherlands is so beautiful, especially in spring, with fields of tulips, quaint towns, castles, and vibrant Amsterdam and surrounding areas. We may visit the Anne Frank house and/or the Corrie ten Boom house as well.  
 
Flights to Amsterdam allow easy access for those coming outside the US or Canada. From the US you leave one day, sleep on the plane and arrive the next morning. You can easily do it in a week or 8 days. Contact Wil and Ank at cwowi@solcon.nl for details.
 
Personal
If you could keep us and Chris in prayer we'd appreciate it. We've had so many trips and visitors and events this year that our normal schedule for having him home has been all over the calendar, which he hasn't understood as he is very schedule oriented with his brain damage doesn't understand all the changes we've had to make to his schedule. The aides at the group home, as well as we have had to deal with behavioral issues and his emotional roller coaster. Thanks.
 
Jesus said He is meek and lowly in heart, and so He is. He isn't Hollywood Jesus. He isn't impressed by Italian marble foyer as one enters a building called church, He values a cup of water to a child, a personal visit to sick friends or those in prison, and meeting food and clothing needs.
 
Our values must align with His values. He is meek and lowly in heart and we can learn of Him; that learning is day to day through mundane, normal, life. That is a life-long process!
 
We have several needs right now and we SO appreciate your giving – Thank you.
    Blessings,
        John & Barb

Hi all,
Many are asking me about ‘Brexit’, which is the vote on June 24 deciding whether the UK will remain in the EU or separate, with many claiming economic rearranging world-wide if they exit – but does scripture provide clues? Perhaps. Let's look at Ezekiel 38 & 39 and a future war against Israel.
 
The plot against Israel
Ezekiel 38 prophesies nations that will align themselves against Israel, and hints at nations that align themselves with Israel. The ones against Israel are named in the first few verses of Ezekiel 38, and in modern geography include Russia, Turkey, Iran, Libya, and other nations in the region of Turkey and Russia.
 
Ezekiel says they will ascend like a cloud to cover Israel which is seen as a prediction of modern flight and air war, while also mounting a huge land force to invade mainly from the north, thinking it will be over so fast no one would be able to come to Israel's aid, and that no would dare confront such a mighty force. Wrong. Spoiler alert, Israel wins.
 
In Ezekiel 38:21 God calls for allies of Israel to join with them fighting against the invading force, and He also says the invaders will be met with a large earthquake, overflowing rain and hail, and such confusion in communication among the multi-nation army that many end up killing themselves.
 
Ezekiel 39:9-12 says it will take Israel 7 months to bury the dead and they will recover a 7 year supply of fuel and other spoil. He describes in 39: 13-15 Israel hiring citizens and others for temporary work to walk around the battle site and place small flags when they find body parts, in a perfect prediction of modern forensic work seen at any disaster site. (Therefore since they are walking around the site this battle is not nuclear at least in and around Israel, neither is it Armageddon)
 
The allies of Israel
But Ezekiel 38:13 says the following nations will confront Russia/Iran: “But Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all the young lions thereof, will say to you, 'Do you think you are coming to take a spoil?...'
 
Sheba is described as being in the Arabian peninsula or around the horn of Africa and Ethiopia. Dedan is Saudi Arabia. That modern Arab nations allied with Saudi Arabia would confront the Russian/Iranian/Turkey alliance when they attack Israel would suggest a split among Arab nations, with Saudi Arabia and others aligning against Iran and Turkey. It may not be that they are for Israel, but that they don't want to see Russia/Iran/Turkey take over the Middle East.
 
This is where it gets interesting
Tarshish is the ancient name of Spain, and the ‘merchants of Spain' are therefore understood to be the nations that came about by Spanish merchants, in short, the Americas.
 
Ezekiel continues; ‘and the young lions thereof’. Young lions means the offspring of those Spanish efforts, but bringing in the lion as symbol has caused many to speculate it is a reference to Britain as the lion has for centuries been their symbol, and the Americas were settled most predominantly by Spain and Britain. That would mean along with Saudi led Arab nations confronting the Russia/Turkey/Iranian invaders, the Americas and the UK will also, if this understanding is correct.
 
This is where Brexit enters the picture
The theory that the UK would join the Americas and the Saudi's against Russia/Turkey/Iran has long been complicated in the minds of some by the fact the UK is part of the EU and being bound by various agreements, would not necessarily act militarily independently of the EU against Russia and Turkey.
 
Germany and other nations get their heating gas and other fuels from Russia with pipelines through Turkey, who only has to flip a few switches to make much of Europe go cold during winter and allow their vehicles to run out of fuel. So many have wondered if Britain is part of the EU how would they act independently to join Israel against Russia. 
 
However, if they exit the EU they could act more independently to join Israel and the Americas against the invaders. So this vote will be interesting to watch, and it may, may, have implications as mentioned here.
 
But even if they stay in the EU, God's Word will still come to pass, and if the understanding of Ezekiel 38 and 39 above is close to accurate, then no matter the vote, they will in fact take action with Israel and her allies against the Russia/Turkey/Iranian alliance.
 
So we watch, we pray, we wonder...prophecy is understood most clearly in hindsight, until then all we have is kernels of truth to wonder about. Praying for the people of the UK!
 
Other news...
I remember at the start of this year the Father saying to me, "The last half of the year will be difficult for many." I've wondered what that meant, and now wonder if Brexit succeeds will there be economic consequences in the last part of this year. My point is that either way, I'm in prayer about the rest of the year, not only for the US elections and Brexit, but in general.
 
This May/June has been busier for us than we had originally thought, including a brief weekend trip for a house church meeting, but also hosting people at our home or driving somewhere to meet folks each week -  the summer is flying by. July will be filled with family focused events and August we rest and prepare for our September Lithuanian and Latvia trip.
 
How do you respond to an event?
When there is a major event the immediate response sets the tone and direction, often for years to come. For instance, when a baby is born that is a great event but it is just for that moment. The response to that event is actually the more important because how those parents deal with their new child determines it's future and theirs, and for generations beyond.
 
In the same way the outpouring on Pentecost in Acts 2:4 was a single event, wherein 3,000 people responded to the original 120 pouring into the streets newly filled with God's Spirit. While that single event is amazing, we look to the response of the 120 on how they dealt with such an influx. Their response set the tone for 'the church age' for us all some 2,000 years later, and even to me and CWOWI and our network as we seek to follow the practices of the apostles and early church.
 
While Acts 2:41 tells us 3,000 were saved and Spirit filled, verse 42, the very next verse, details their response to that great event that set the tone which is woven throughout  the whole New Testament:
 
"And they continued steadfastly in the apostles teaching, and fellowship, and the breaking of bread (eating together & the Lord's Supper), and prayer (includes worship as worship is also prayer).
 
Teaching, fellowship, eating together, prayer/worship. That is how the 120 dealt with 3,000 new friends. But it took 'continued steadfastly' - they devoted themselves to the relationships in Christ.
 
Today we'd race to a large building and start some program for new believers, or we'd assign people to 'follow up'. Most in the auditorium mentality would panic quite frankly, at 3,000 sudden converts. But they just took them into their homes for a meal, some teaching, some prayer.
 
That is SO simple isn't it? We have to lose the idea we have to 'build' something to accommodate people. NO. Just have a meal together - it is holy. Fellowship together and get to know one another - it is holy. We think, "Teaching and prayer/worship is holy, but eating together and fellowship is not holy." Wrong. The most intimate moments between Jesus and the disciples was right before He was betrayed, and it was during a meal. Eating together in deep fellowship is holy.
 
When Christ is in you and Christ is in me, then we two sharing our stories in Christ IS holy. Having a meal together IS holy. Teaching and prayer and worship are holy, but so is eating together and comparing stories on what Jesus has done for us. Perceive the grace in one another and fellowship. (Galatians 2:9). Be polite guests in someone's home, don't dominate conversation, don't push your favorite controversial teaching - focus on Christ and what you have in common in Him - and be a polite guest in their home.
 
How do you respond to the amazing thing the Lord has done for you? Continue STEADFASTLY in teaching, fellowship, eating together, and in prayer and worship. Find even 1 person, just 1, and eat together. Build the relationship.
 
Wow, I'm out of room already for today's e-newsletter...blessings, and thank to you who support us with financial gifts and prayers, we have some needs so they are greatly appreciated...new affiliates with CWOWI range from Australia to the Philippines to other points all over - God is moving in relationships. All else will burn, but people are forever.
 
    Blessings!
