Hi all,
It's been a while since I've written, but I am prompted to share some things the Lord has recently told me. First a review of my last email.

Most of you will remember the word the Father told me late last summer when I asked how the country was doing. He replied: "OK for now, but watch out when Hillary takes office."

He didn't specify a time frame or office...so I don't want to add speculation to that, I just take it as a matter of prayer.

About a month ago, when the Democratic primary race was still a race with numerous candidates vying for position, I asked the Father what the spirit behind it was, because in the Spirit, it had a different feel.

The Father told me, "It's Socialism. As it stands now, the momentum is such in this country that it can be slowed, but not stopped. That spirit will lead the people into bondage and many will blindly and happily go along. It comes from Europe and seeks to take away many of the freedoms this country enjoys."

(My own thoughts here - by permission, not 'thus saith' - is that I suspect we will see some form of socialized medicine, bigger government, more government control in business, commerce, education, bigger role for the UN instead of independent US actions, etc in the future While maintaining the representative republic we now have, the government will become larger and larger and more controlling, more persecution for Judeo/Christian values. That is the spirit in the democratic party.)

This past Sunday, during our house church meeting I received a visitation from Jesus. It was interesting, as at least 2 others said they knew he was there, and even pinpointed how he walked around ministering to various people. But for me, he spoke some things about our own life, and some things about the country, sort of a part two to the word the Father told me on socialism.

He told me: "The word on Socialism goes beyond this country, as that spirit is already at work in the world, especially in Europe. This will be a unifying force in the EU that will spread to other member nations and beyond. Beyond that, the world is entering a season of anger among the nations. This is part of what you are seeing in this country's election year, people are angry, and the nations are angry. But this is a season of anger opening in the nations that will not close until the end, and is especially noted in Europe and Russia. This is not a righteous anger, but an anger against righteousness that will manifest in many ways. This anger is attached to a spirit of fear unleashed on the world. Remember that the righteous are as bold as a lion and are standing up for right, but the momentum has shifted."

At this point, I asked him for chapter and verse, and he told me, 'It's in the Book', and continued. (Later I looked it up, and found that Rev 11:18, at the 7th trumpet which is the setting up of Jesus' earthly kingdom, looking back at the circumstances that set up Jesus' return it says: "And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come...") To give you an idea how this spirit works...you will see anti-Semitism grow, and you will see nations (especially Europe) giving their authority over to the larger whole of the EU. (and if this spirit prevails in the US, we will see more UN involvement I suspect, instead of the US stepping up to handle things itself, thus giving some of our sovereignty over to the UN. Fear is the root of it that lets socialism in...people need to feel safe, and a big bulky government lends a feeling of detachment from events)

He continued: "Some in my body will give heed to the anger in the world and become angry at their church and those in ministry, and suffer for it. But many others will respond to the divine dissatisfaction within them and seek me for relevance in their lives. They will want to return to what you call, relationship based Christianity. They will examine my Word and see for themselves that something is wrong. In times past they were content to live in dissatisfaction, but I am now moving on many to take action."

"This is part of why I told you I wanted you to start CWOWI against a time to come. You are just entering the start of that season, and the momentum will continue to grow. Some will seek ways to develop relationships within the traditional structure, and others will seek house church. You are to minister to all who ask, as you've been doing."(and then he gave me some personal instructions)

I was prompted to share this for two reasons. One is that I heard a statistic that said only 20% of born again Christians vote. Yikes! Get out and vote this fall! Secondly, recent Barna studies indicate there are more people taking part in small groups than ever before, and for the first time in a long time, have noted house churches springing up all over.

I share this so you can understand the spirit at work in the world. I believe through the right people in office we can delay the wrong spirit in this country...it will take prayer and voting to do so.

Blessings,
John Fenn

Hi all,
John Fenn here. Some have written and asked me what the Lord has told me for the upcoming year, so it seemed good at this time to write what the Lord has told me.

Those who know me know that I don't use flowery words or vague speech. I just repeat what Jesus said in a visitation, or what the Father has told me while I've been in the Spirit. In times past I have been emailed some of the words I've shared---sent back to me, cut and pasted to pieces, with the person sending it saying something like: "I don't know who said this, but it's a good prophetic word."

So I ask that if you send this word to someone in the Body of Christ, walk in integrity and send the whole thing, or at least don't chop it to pieces so that vital parts

are left off...as you'll see below, and you know me as a teacher, context is everything. Thanks.

For some, who've asked to be included on our E-newsletter list recently, I will need to give a brief history of the roots of what I'm about to share. For some, I've shared parts of this and this will be review.

In October of 2002 I (John Fenn) was at one of our house churches here in Tulsa, and during the worship the Lord Jesus came to me in a vision and took me up and away. When he first came I saw and heard a lot of marching angels and
marching people and asked the Lord what it was. He said, "It's the sounds of war." Then we were whisked away.

I found myself in a Middle Eastern City, standing behind a US soldier who was handing a woman wearing a black Muslim (burka- spelling), handing her a tract. Jesus was to my, and this soldier's right. I asked the Lord what I was seeing, and He replied; "The US military in Baghdad". I asked; "How long will it take?". He said, "About 3 weeks". (as you know now, it took 3 weeks to enter the city)

Anyway...I shared that part with some of our people here in Tulsa, and over the Internet, and many wrote about the 3 week part. But the visitation went on.

The Lord told me: "There is going to be a plot against the President to shoot down Marine One or Air Force One and other targets, with shoulder fired missiles smuggled into the country, and you need to pray against that."

I told a few people about that part of it and several of us began praying that the plot would be exposed, the Lord would assist the intelligence community, etc. In late summer 2003 the plot was exposed and a man was arrested for trying to smuggle in a whole bunch of them...I was relieved, for this was the concern about the 2 1/2 year mark of this President's term. In prayer went to the Father to see how that changed things.

This is very important. I have walked in the prophetic long enough, and have seen enough, to know the Father and Jesus are very specific with their words. So context is VERY important. The word below is what I'm sharing today, so please understand the context.

I asked Him: "As it stands now, how is the country?" The Father replied: "As it stands now, OK, but watch out when Hillary takes office."

This fall, I shared this word with a few people, and our people here at CWOWI in Tulsa, and I've been careful to point out that the context He spoke was "As it stands now."

In my experience, when the Father or Jesus couch their words within 'as it stands now,' this means it's subject to change. However, He (Jesus) also told me at that time: "You have a window of opportunity of a few years. Make use of this time. In My Body in this country, I am directing my people to set their houses in order, use this time to get out of unnecessary debt, reorder their priorities, and come away from the pollution and distractions of this world. Love me purely."

Now if I may speak by permission, not as a prophetic word, but from what I sense He is saying. The essence is that as it stands now, we have 3-5 years of good economic times ahead. This time is being granted to allow the Body time to get things in order. Spiritually speaking, many will see words of promise spoken in times past to them come to pass in this time, and some who have sensed they were 'saved' for the last few 'good' years, will begin to enter into what the Father and Jesus have for them.

The next 'big' year, as far as years go, will be 2007...but I'm not free to share at this time. I'm not trying to be mysterious, I'm just saying it's not time. There may be events that happen in these times, but they don't register as 'big' on the heavenly scale, so to speak.

Keep in mind the power of prayer. For instance, in Matthew 24:15-19 Jesus talks about the Antichrist coming into the temple. We know that will happen at the midpoint of the tribulation, it is set in concrete, it will happen. But
Jesus said in verse 20 to pray that 'your flight is not on the Sabbath, or in winter.' Here is the power of prayer; even though it is set that antichrist will come and enter the temple mid way through the tribulation, the season of year and day of the week it happens on, isn't set...that will be determined by prayer.

I believe that is the nature of the word the Father gave when He said, 'As it stands now, OK, but watch out when Hillary takes office." I believe the part of her taking office is set, and that she will take office...whether VP, or Pres, (I suspect)...but we can determine the season and timing through prayer...for me, any delay in her taking office is good for America. And I am still praying, 'if possible, let this cup pass'...I say that partly tongue in cheek, part partly for real.

Blessings,
John Fenn
