Hi all,
Barb
and I have had some tests and doctors visits but all seems more or less
well thus far. Much to my surprise, the cardiologist is more concerned
about my blood pressure than the AFib. With no outward symptoms with the
AFib and no lack of energy, his advice was lose more weight to get the
blood pressure down, and he will see me in 3 months. If I don’t reach my
target weight by early April we will discuss medicine for blood
pressure. So I’m taking much of the rest of January and February to drop
a bit more weight and keep it off, not traveling until March to focus
on both Barb and my own health.
You
can watch my weekly 10-12 minute teachings on Facebook or YouTube. I do
them live on Wednesdays at 8am Central on FB, but they are also able to
be viewed any time after. Just do a search for ‘John C Fenn videos’ and
they should come up.
If
you are considering the Dutch conference Memorial Day weekend, May
25-28 let me know by email if you are from the US at cwowi@aol.com. If
from Europe, Africa, or Asia contact Wil and Ank at cwowi@solcon.nl
Most
flights from the US to Amsterdam are overnight ones, meaning you’d
leave the US on May 24, arrive morning of the 25th, and we’d get you to
the Retreat Center, where we’ll be through Sunday the 28th.
Monday-Tuesday we’ll site see some of the Netherlands – Amsterdam,
hopefully Corrie ten Boom’s house, maybe Anne Franks’s house, take a
boat tour on the canals of Amsterdam, and see the countryside – but
generally hang out and spend time together. Then you could leave
Wednesday the 31st, arriving the same day back in the US in 1week total
time.
There
is a conference fee and an offering will be received during the retreat
as well, and if you want to help Wil and Ank with the expenses over and
above incurred in hosting people. Other than that, just spending money
is needed for the site seeing.
New affiliates and prayer for me please
Please
pray for wisdom because the pace at which new house churches who want
to be part of CWOWI has increased dramatically, all over the world. It
is a time consuming process to get to know each group.
As
I write this it is the 13th anniversary of when we placed our oldest
son who is handicapped, Chris, into a group home. Besides all we do in
ministry, the oversight of his care is a continual presence in our
lives. Chris is about 4 years old mentally, though he takes things in at
a higher level. Yesterday the manager for his group home called to
explain some administrative changes taking place, but commented that
Chris was at the table reading to Ray, another resident, and Ray was
nodding his head up and down as Chris read several stories to him. Chris
doesn’t read! He was evidently telling a story to Ray who can’t talk
more than a couple words, while turning pages in a book, but evidently
they both enjoyed the story!
When
Chris was 22 the Lord spoke to him, and he excitedly told me “Jesus
told me He’s going to walk through the mountains with me! Yep, that’s
what He said! You hoo! He’s going to walk through the mountains with
me.” Ever since, Chris has made comments like “When I get to heaven, no
wheelchair!” and “When I get to heaven I’m going to run like that (kids
running by).” He helps us keep a larger perspective on life, that this
age is temporary, and there are ages to come.
Giving receipts for US donations will be mailed out separately in about a week. Thank you!
Something the Father said…
I
was thinking on Iran and what the new American administration may do
with the current treaty, and also how the nations are increasingly bold
in telling Israel what they can and cannot do. It was in the midst of
those thoughts the Father said something very brief: “Iran and others
will be made to feel backed into a corner, in a way similar to Japan at
the start of WWII.”
In case you don’t know your 1930’s world history, I do, so let me explain why what the Father
said
carries so much importance. In 1911 the US signed a treaty with Japan
allowing exports from the US to Japan of everything from oil and
lubricants to steel products. In response to growing Japanese industrial
and military complex, President Roosevelt terminated that agreement in
1939 and the following summer signed a law forbidding US exports to
Japan of aviation oil products, lubricants, and steel products. Over the
next year President Roosevelt placed severe restrictions or outlawed
the exporting of oil and steel products to Japan, the last coming in
August of 1941, with the British and Dutch doing the same, which
isolated Japan from
the rest of the world.
Those
actions strangled Japan’s ability to maintain and enlarge its military
and industrial complex, leading to the ‘unprovoked’ attack on Pearl
Harbor on 7, December, 1941.
When
in the midst of my thoughts about how Israel and Jerusalem in
particular is becoming the focus of at least 70 of the UN nations who
are arrayed against her, and wondering what the new President will do
about Iran, the Father said that – that Iran and others will be made to
feel backed into a corner – wow, that’s huge.
Zecharian
12:1- tells us the Lord is arranging the big picture which will cause
Jerusalem – not just Israel but the city of Jerusalem, to become the
focal point of the nations: “Behold, I will make
Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they
shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in
that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people..”
Look
this year for Jerusalem to be more in the news – read between the lines
when the nations tell Israel they should give up land won in the war of
1967 – which includes the city. Pray for wisdom for leaders concerning
Russia, Iran and Turkey, for the alliance outlined in Ezekiel 38 is
coming more into focus it seems, almost daily. Look for sanctions which
would isolate Iran and ‘others’ (not sure what He meant by ‘others’, but
could include Iranian supported terrorist groups, or nations allied
with Iran – time will tell) and know the times.
It
truly is all about relationships. This world will pass, but the Father
and Lord are already thinking about the ages to come, as per Ephesians
2:7. We are already in eternity, already citizens of another kingdom,
one family in heaven and earth, just passing through. Keep the larger
perspective and don’t let fear dominate your mind. We all wonder about
this or that, but undergirding our thoughts and hearts is a certain
confident expectation, a knowing, we are the Father’s and no one can
take us from Him.
Thank
you for being part of our lives. Though my Weekly Thoughts, cd’s and
MP3 teachings, e-newsletters, conferences and books reach thousands upon
thousands around the globe, we just learned upon doing year end
accounting that the actual number of those who donated at least 1 time
in 2016 to CWOWI is less than 300 people.
This
is why those few who give to CWOWI are so special to us. We are not
trying to get rich in ministry (and succeeding, lol) – I’ve been to
heaven and have seen the Lord – riches can’t compare so hold no luster
for us. But money is needed in this life to live, so we send a bit thank
you for those donations which enable us to continue in ministry, and
thank you for your prayers that keep us going – blessings!
John & Barb
New cd/MP3 series:
In
this series John shares some of what the Lord told him during
visitations that explain how the Lord did things like walk through
crowds that were trying to kill Him, and how He walked on water. Also
covered are the effects of God's light in us on the demonic realm, and
the properties of light, how heaven is larger on the inside than the
outside, different dimensions, and so on. The setting is higher laws and
lower laws, and how we can walk in higher ways and thoughts, cause
God's higher ways to dominate our lives, and how to let His peace flow
outward to those around us. You will be inspired and learn how to walk
in higher ways in life, and will look at scripture and yourself a bit
differently, as the Lord sees you and your life and destiny.
