Hello Precious Covenant Partners
and Friends!
We begin our Monthly Teaching Letters
personally writing to the ones who God is using to make this teaching and so many other Ministries possible, Our Beloved Covenant
Partners and Friends. Dewayne and I just want you to know that your love, support and prayers are appreciated more than you
will probably ever know. I don’t know if I can describe on this paper how much you means to us. You fighting in this
battle and walking in this journey with us brings encouragement to us and water to our souls. As you know, one of the Covenant
Promises we make with our Partners and Friends is that we pray and profess The Word over you and your family EVERY DAY. One
of the scriptures that we declare over you is Philippians 1:2-11 (CEV) it reads in part, “ . . Every time I think of you, I thank my God. 4 And whenever
I mention you in my prayers, it makes me happy. 5 This is because you have taken part with me in spreading the good news from
the first day you heard about it. 6 God is the one who began this good work in you, and I am certain that he won't stop
before it is complete on the day that Christ Jesus returns. 7 You have a special place in my heart. So it is only natural
for me to feel the way I do. All of you have helped in the work that God has given me, . . .” Partners and Friends, this says it so well! Your prayers, contacts, support, love and faithfulness
are truly holding us up and sustaining us. Thank you and we dearly love you, you are a part of our hearts.
Last month we wrote you what The Lord had spoken after a time of prayer and fasting that
Dewayne and I had. I requested repeatedly of The Lord what He wanted to say through JCM to His People for this year and boy
did He tell me and confirm it over and over. The Lord said, “tell them to obey Me.” I wrote you that I
was telling The Lord that I thought The Church already knew that and the more He repeated it to me, I realized He was telling
me to tell you that, because we were not obeying Him! He showed us through January’s Teaching Letter that
we have these directions from The Lord and we are or are not doing what He said. He
showed us that if we DO NOT obey Him that curses could come upon us and if we DO obey them blessings would come to us.
(SEE Deuteronomy 11:26-28 (NIV)). Next, we saw that our disobedience (even what the world would call a small thing) could
cause the consequence of The Lord’s Hand being against us instead of for us! (SEE I Samuel 12:15 (KJV)). Then we saw
in The Word a crucial reason to obey whatever God is telling us to do. For we see clearly
that even our true relationship with God is based on our obedience to Him, “When we obey God, we are sure
that we know him. 4 But if we claim to know him and don't obey him, we are
lying and the truth isn't in our hearts.
5
We truly love God only when we obey him as we should, and then we know that we belong to him.”
(1 John 2:3-5) (CEV). The Lord is speaking to
us, He is wanting the good life for us and our families. He longs to bless us and show us even on a greater scale His Goodness
and He is telling us and you this vital message, He says, “tell them to obey Me.” (If you need an extra
copy of January’s Teaching Letter, please contact JCM or e-mail us and we can mail or e-mail you another copy of it.
Keep this Word on your mind and before yourself. I know that I am.)
Now, this Month’s
Letter is being ministered by not just myself to you, but Dewayne also. Dewayne, while in prayer received a Word and Direction
from The Lord. The Lord told Dewayne, “prepare.” Dewayne told me that when The Lord spoke to Him “prepare”
he questioned The Lord what He meant. The Lord showed Him an example so that we could all understand. The Lord illustrated
that we are all (if you are reading this in the North East you can really understand) getting a tremendous amount of snow,
ice, bitter coldness, sleet, high winds, and freezing rain. Matter of fact, records are being set due to the large amounts
of winter weather that we are experiencing! This extreme and reoccurring weather causes power outages, slick roads, frozen
cars, frequent shoveling, no school, no traveling, and no heat! And what do we who live in these parts of the Country do?
We make preparations!

We are watching the local news, checking
on the Internet and reading our Newspapers to get the latest weather report. We want to know what the weather is going to
do today, tonight, tomorrow and for the next seven days. We will plan our week, routes we should take or not take, and think
about what we have in the house to eat for the duration of the weather. We will run to the grocery stores and buy up the bread,
lunchmeat, eggs, milk, chips and anything that we can fix ourselves and families to eat, even if the electricity goes out.
For those who have generators, we check the levels of fuel it has and how much is in our fuel cans left over from the last
storm. For those who have a means of supplemental heat, you are checking the fuel also and your wood and propane. We make
sure we know exactly where the candles, matches, flashlights and the amount and location of the batteries. For some of you
reading this Letter you have to prepare for floodings, tornadoes, mud slides, fires and other events. Yet, ONE THING that we all have in common
is that we are looking, listening, waiting and anticipating what the forecast is telling us the conditions are going to be
like and how it is going to effect us and that is exactly what The Lord has foretold us to prepare for also!
Throughout The Word of God, beginning
from the very first we see that God has always been and will always be a Preparer, “IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.”
(Genesis 1:1 (AMP)) The Preparer prepared a place, a body, a mind, a companion (woman for man) food,
water, a spirit, a soul, a free will . . . EVERYTHING THAT WE WOULD EVER NEED as His Children. He even has promised in John
14:2-3 that, “In My Father's
house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to PREPARE
a place for you. 3 And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself,
that where I am you may be also.” In the (KJV) we find that it
is translated that there are “mansions” being prepared for us! So, if Father God is The Preparer, doesn’t
it make sense that He would make sure that His Children were to prepare for things also?
Before I get to the very heart of what we are writing to you about, allow me to
show you a few more examples of our Lord’s preparations. We find in Exodus 12 the account of when God
was telling His People to prepare to leave Egypt. They were to get a lamb, prepare it, eat it, put it’s
blood on the doorposts, (Verse11) “And
you shall eat it thus: [as fully prepared for a journey] your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your
hand; and you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's Passover.” The
Hebrews were to prepare for they, their families, livestock, the Egyptians gold, silver, jewels and possessions
were all going with them in a great haste. (Verse 39) “They
left Egypt in such a hurry that they did not have time to prepare any food except the bread dough made without yeast. So they
baked it and made thin bread.” And what was the direction of The Lord? He told
them what was going to happen, what to do and what to do to prepare! God will never leave us without a plan!
He tells us He has the plans for us! (Jeremiah 29:11-14a).
We know that many preparations were made for Jesus to come to planet Earth. The prophets spoke words manifesting
Him, Joseph and Mary’s betrothal (and both being in the blood line of king David), the census to make them go to Bethlehem,
the dreams, the directions, the visitations from Angels and so many, many more preparations too many to write.
And yet there is one who’s calling was to prepare. Isaiah 40:3 (AMP) “A voice of one who cries: Prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord [clear away the
obstacles]; make straight and smooth in the desert a highway for our God!” John
the Baptist’s destiny was prophesied by Isaiah many years before he came on the scene. God prepared
John’s way, as John would prepare his cousin Jesus’ way. God will ALWAYS prepare
a way for His People, which brings me to what Dewayne and I want you to know.
When Dewayne was telling me of how The Lord was explaining what He meant when telling Dewayne “prepare,”
he said that God’s People need to pay attention to the signs that are coming at us all the time as we can see
in Matthew 24 and Mark 13. Right now, today Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmedinajad ordered a major step-up in the processing of
uranium, enriching it at a 20 percent level against all that the US and the United Nations has told him NOT to do. We are
at present still in war in Afghanistan, Iraq and in the global War on Terror, we are not hearing much about the “swine
flu” as we were, yet we were just in a worldwide “epidemic” with this. Rumors on the news say that there
are terrorists who have the means to launch a strain of a virus that is doubly worse than that of the swine flu on the US
and her allies. Our government is trying to take our freedoms with every day that passes. Some of our Leaders are speaking
out of both sides of their mouths, not keeping any of the words that they speak and deceiving many! The destruction and famines
that we see in Haiti due to the earthquake and other parts of the world have grown to gigantic proportions. As
of today, the number of Earthquakes that have happened all over this world between 8-30 days from today are well over 200 places
(I stopped counting the destinations after I reached 200! (SEE www.usgs.gov) Church, Bride Of Christ - PLEASE LISTEN!
We Are In The Last Days and Are SEEING The Signs That God Told Us Would Happen Before The Rapture Of Us, His Bride!
Matthew
24:3-8 screams to us, “As Jesus was sitting
on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen,
and what will be the sign of your
coming and of the end of the
age?" 4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives
you. 5 For many will come in
my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to
it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.”
Jesus has told us these signs so that we will know what time it is and be prepared!
The Lord told Dewayne to “prepare.”
He told him that we need to “prepare” just like we do when we hear the forecast of bad
weather coming! The Word of God and The Holy Spirit is telling us to “prepare!” Just like God
told His People the preparations right before they made an Exodus out of Egypt, God is showing us in
His Word and allowing the media to tell us what time we are living in and to “prepare” to make our Exodus from
here in the rapture! He is allowing us and this Ministry to be like John
the Baptist and tell God’s People to “prepare” for the way of The Lord! John was to pave
and prepare and announce the way for Jesus as He would begin His Ministry. And we are heralding that He is coming again and
He is wanting us to hear the “forecasts” all around us. He is wanting us to pay our attention to what is going
on in the “atmosphere.” God is wanting His Children to not fear, yet be aware and prepared! This
is not a time to not be informed and napping. Bride, it is time for us to pray when we see these SIGNS that Jesus told us
Himself would be taking place. This time that we live in is what all of history, the former Saints who have went on and all
of Heaven is waiting for and we get to live right as it is happening! This is what it’s all about and
what it has always been about - Getting As Many People into The Kingdom and grown up in the Kingdom as possible! Remember,
God is telling us all, “to obey” and “prepare.”
Partners and Friends, we love you, we support you, and we believe in you! Thank you for allowing The Truth to be
told to many! As we always end . . . Keep Getting Ready and . . .
KEEP GETTING Prepared BRIDE- JESUS IS Coming! - Jamie
