THE GREATEST GIFT!

Dear family in King Yahushua (Jesus Our Messiah),

As many around the world observe this day as a day of thanksgiving and remembrance of all our blessings, we too want to send out to all of you our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for coming along side of us these last two months. After Yahushua led us to ask for help in collecting emergency supplies for those affected by Hurricane Helene here in Western North Carolina, USA, He then moved on all of our hearts and supplies have continued to pour in daily. We are beyond humbled and thankful for your overwhelming response to the urgent needs of people here in the mountains, who have basically been forgotten by any government or relief agencies. We are deeply touched by the outpouring of love you all have shown, as we have been able to distribute supplies so far to those in need and will continue to do so as long as Father leads us. 

Those who are receiving these critical items are so beyond grateful and thankful that they have stood before us stunned by the outpouring of others to help them in their time of need. One woman, a grandmother of three had lost everything and said that she had not cried since the flood destroyed everything she and her family had. In our presence, her emotions flowed as she just couldn't believe that she was receiving without needing to pay for anything. We provided her with food, clothing, toiletries and bibles, and she just kept saying how thankful she was for the hearts of those who have come to serve, whether local or from afar. We prayed with her and said that we would keep in touch so that we could help her with ongoing needs in a family of five. 

We have witnessed first hand in giving out your supplies, the power of the greatest gift there ever was, or ever will be, and that is the incredible power of the LOVE OF CHRIST, YAHUSHUA, OUR LIVING, HOLY, RIGHTEOUS FATHER. Love conquers all, and His love breaks through all suffering, all pain, all despair, and all hopelessness. Always remember this! Love is everything... and being a small part of His plan in what He has called us to do has deeply changed us and shown us that even in total destruction, devastation and loss, there will always be His eternal and unending LOVE. 

One van full of six children were so overjoyed when we handed them children's illustrated bibles that the little girl actually squealed to her siblings yelling, "Look!!! They even gave us bibles!!!" She and her sisters were also thrilled to receive toiletry bags of their own with a hairbrush, toothbrush/paste, soap, and hair pretties. Something so many people take for granted each day, but something these children did not have. What a blessing to be able to see a child's face light up! I have not stopped crying daily at what these acts of kindness can do to change lives. As Yahushua shows us His mercy, we are to show His mercy and love to others and the outcome has been indescribable. 

YOU ALL have made this possible...

We love each of you dearly, and could not continue to do any of this without you. And for those who would like more information about what is happening here that is not being reported, please email us privately at beholdicome@protonmail.com, and we will give you YouTube links that are by people who are 'boots on the ground', sharing the real stories of the many, many challenges that people are dealing with at ground zero. 

We have updated our Amazon wish list once again as below, and will also include at the bottom of this note, other companies and items that have been requested so there are options as to how you can still continue to help. We will also add an additional means of sending monetary donations, as this may help those who are not residing in the USA. 

We still are requesting bibles, KJV, NKJV, AMP version and children's illustrated bibles. However, because of the surplus of clothing that we have received, we are limiting what we are requesting for clothing to this list: 

- Men's winter jackets, especially  XXL and 2XL and 3XL 

- Beanies/Wool hats for children and adults

- Wool socks for all ages

We will use any monetary donations for things such as toiletries and personal items, as we are presented with the needs on a more individual basis. 

May Father greatly bless and reward you for your obedience always!

Doug, Julie and our family

HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF AMAZON LIST AND OTHER NEEDS NOV. 1, 2024

 Hello again dear family! 

As mentioned in my previous post, we have prayed about helping to be a part of the relief for people who have been most affected by the recent hurricane devastation, and Father has led us to ask all of you for help. So far, the response has been absolutely amazing! Praise be to Our Lord and Savior,Yahushua, Jesus Our Messiah!!! 

In order to organize needs based on what the volunteers on the ground are telling us are the current priorities, we have put together a basic Amazon wishlist and have listed the link below. This list is by no means complete. The initial focus is for shelter and warmth and immediate physical needs. We could add many additional items, but we wanted to get this initial version out to as many brothers and sisters as soon as possible. Please feel free to purchase items as Our Father and His Holy Spirit leads you, and please state in the comments section of your order that these supplies are for Hurricane Helene Survivor Relief. Also, PLEASE include your full name and email in the comment section as well so that we can confirm to you receipt of your donations. Thank you!

In order to place an order, you will need an Amazon account to send supplies through Amazon, and after you sign into your account, the wish list will appear directly on your screen if you have used the link below. We have added an estimated amount needed for each item just to give you an idea of our target. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding ordering, but the instructions are simple once you have selected your items for purchase. When you check out, our physical address for receiving the supplies will be shown. Please ensure that the items will be sent to Julie Whedbee at the displayed address.

You are more than welcome to purchase supplies from any other source, we are simply trying to make ordering the easiest we can for most people. 

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the outpouring of love and support and especially for your prayers. As Father has reminded us, we are strong in Him individually, but when we come together as one in Him, trusting Him for all things, paradigms will shift, and He will use us to display His love and glory to the world.

Shalom,

Julie and family

WE NEED YOUR HELP FOR HURRICANE RELIEF OCT. 30, 2024

Dear friends in Yahushua,

We have been in prayer since Hurricane Helene came through our state back in September, asking Yahushua how He wants us to help those who have survived this absolutely devastating, deadly, and destructive judgement in North Carolina. He has directed us to post here and ask you to be in prayer, as to how He would lead you to come along side of us to provide the crucial supplies these people need, especially now that the cold weather has arrived. 

We are in the process of doing the sourcing online to find the best options for all types of emergency off the grid supplies, as well as camping equipment for those who have lost everything. We also will be posting here an updated Amazon Wish List. There is a dire need as well for winter gear of all sorts, coats, rain gear, gloves, socks and hats, winter undergarments, (long johns), and things of this nature. We have a group within reasonable distance to us here where we live that can distribute the items to those hardest hit and in most need. We just need your help in getting these items as soon as possible before any online ordering is disrupted because of the turmoil that is about to begin in this country. We plan on having links to the sites we recommend by this upcoming weekend, the first few days of November, and will post these as soon as we finish collecting them. We would ask that if at all possible, you purchase the supplies directly and then email us privately at beholdicome@protonmail.com for our physical address if it is needed. If this is not possible or convenient, then we are willing to accept monetary donations by Zelle or personal check/money order for these survivors as a few people have already done and we will purchase the items and get them delivered. We will ask that you specify on your donation what any monetary donations are to be used for and we will fulfill those requests whenever possible. We also would ask you to pray and if you are led to help us with all Father has called us to do here in addition to posting His messages, we would be glad to speak to you privately again by email as to the needs for the properties here. 

Thank you for all your love and support, you are all beautiful family and we are blessed beyond measure to be working with you as we eagerly await His return for us!

Shalom,

Doug and Julie

UPDATE ON HURRICANE HELENE OCT. 17, 2024

 Dear friends in Yahushua,

Happy Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles to all of you!  

I have wanted to come back here and post an update for over a week now but I've been praying and seeking the Lord as to what I should write. There is so, so much information that has come out now after Hurricane Helene, and the absolutely gut wrenching suffering, devastation and destruction that has occurred. I will say that Father is always faithful, and always in control. His ways are not our ways and we have to keep trusting in His design no matter what we see. Remember how many times in His messages that He has told us that His remnant Bride would see much? It has now become our reality. 

 He has protected my family and I and kept us from the brunt of this horrific and apocalyptic judgment, but I cry daily and I'll be totally honest, I'm finding it very difficult to rejoice when I have seen and heard so much now. I still have not been able to reach a dear sister in Christ and her family in Asheville, NC, where much of the horrific flooding occurred, and this is very difficult. Our county has resumed daily routines for the most part, but there has been much damage very close to here with properties that are close to the New River losing everything. There is so much debris and trash and literal buildings in the waterways, and in our river here, we have been told that the river may be completely dangerous to enter at this point. So, so very heartbreaking as our family and so many others enjoy the beauty of this place. 

The evil that has been unleashed is definitive of all we read in His Word that is ordained for these end days and in reality, it has been quite sickening. I know that many, many of you feel the exact same way and your hearts are shattered at what is now taking place with these increasing judgments that Father is allowing. 

A simple internet search on YouTube or any social media platform will give you more than enough information about how this all came to be in North Carolina and southeast Tennessee. Because of my personal relationship with two individuals that have had first hand contact with the disaster areas, I can say that the information about F*MA as a 'rescue' organization are sadly true. I will add this link I came across today that sums it up pretty well for anyone interested, but I believe I am to refrain from posting too much about this on this platform. Reports from our local news stations and from those who went through the flood and can testify firsthand of what happened say there are estimated to be thousands upon thousands dead. We may never know. Father has always told us to pray especially for those who will die suddenly, just as so many of these people did. Pray for the lost constantly!!!! It's so very important now as more judgments are imminently upon us. It is also now becoming bitter cold here and I would ask for your increased prayers for those who have lost literally everything. 

https://www.theburningplatform.com/2024/10/17/patriot-alert-especially-for-white-christian-folks-living-in-flyover-country/

I would like to especially thank each one of you who are praying for me and my family regularly. Please know we pray for all of you and all your intentions as well. Thank you to those who anonymously send gifts through Zelle, and thank you for our faithful monthly supporters who have been with us through thick and thin. We can not do any of this without all of you and we love you all with Yahushua's heart!

Stay strong my family, pray constantly, repent often throughout the day, keep watching, waiting and trusting our King Yahushua. We will soon have the understanding we so desire. He will not abandon us or forsake us and He is our Refuge and Fortress in the middle of the storms. 

May Yahushua greatly bless you, protect you, provide for you and keep you and your loved ones close always, until He comes for us which is very, very, VERY SOON!!!!

Shalom, shalom,

Julie and family

UPDATE FROM WESTERN NC AFTER HURRICANE HELENE

 Hello my family in Yahushua,

It is with an extremely heavy and broken heart that I write this update today, Oct. 2, 2024. It has been 6 days since Hurricane Helene tore through the southeast and western region of the state of North Carolina in the USA. There are not words to describe the utter and complete destruction and devastation that has occurred. I know much of the southeast in several states have suffered tremendously but because I reside in the northwest region of North Carolina, this is what I can describe to you based on the information I have received thus far. 

First of all, thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for all who were impacted everywhere, and the prayers for my family. We are all ok and slowly beginning the clean up process from what was forecasted to be a tropical storm, but ended up being more like a Category 3 hurricane in the high country of North Carolina which is unprecedented. Father's hand of protection and His holy angels were and are over us always, and although we have much debris and minor damage, we are so very blessed and fortunate things weren't worse for us directly. 

Local reports state we received almost 30 inches of rain in less than 48 hours, and then it continued raining off and on through yesterday, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024. The mountainous land could not absorb that much water that quickly and the results have been complete obliteration in some areas. Many of the roads in my county have completely broken and washed away, secondary roads are blocked by mudslides and fallen trees, and many bridges are gone or underwater. 

Here are some bullet points I have received, some of this info. from friends and family who are doing search and rescue and cleanup a bit further south:

1) Millions are still without power in the upper NW region of NC and especially further south of here. (We got our electric service back this morning, praise Father!)

2) Electric companies from several states have been deployed to assist in repair and in many cases, complete rebuilding of the power grids. Trees are still falling or in danger of falling as the ground is too saturated at this point. 

3) My county is still without water for purchase, although the Army dropped pallets of potable water by helicopter at the local high school two days ago. We are experiencing heavy air traffic even being in a remote region. 

4) Volunteers have given their small planes to licensed pilots to air drop supplies to the hardest hit regions which are approx. 90 minutes from where I live. The federal govt. I'm being told is MIA as far as bringing any assistance. All the help is done by volunteers, friends and family of those affected and other organizations. No surprise here. 

5) We are being told by those doing search and rescue that the death toll is about 10 times higher than what is being reported further south of here. They are saying in some cases 100 bodies at a time are being found where there was once a neighborhood, and the area is finally reached by any rescue help. There is nowhere to put the bodies, and resources are extremely limited. You can imagine the decomposition of the people and farm and pet animals in these conditions as the weather is still warm here. 

6) Unbelievably, people are still without food and water after almost a week and completely trapped on small strips of road with floodwaters on either side of them, having written SOS on the small strip of road for aircraft to hopefully see. Some communities have just disappeared altogether. 

7) Because of this happening so 'suddenly', just as Father told us these things would happen, most were completely caught off guard and not prepared in the least for anything remotely like this. People are without medication, power for oxygen machines, babies without formula, people without any hygienic items, etc. You can only imagine the situation. 

8) The Lake Lure Dam has failed which is a large body of water and it feeds into Lake Norman, another large body of water and tens of thousands are being evacuated. 

9) All roads into western NC are CLOSED and unless you are a rescue team or local resident, you are not allowed entry into this entire western region of our state.  The Blue Ridge Parkway is also closed indefinitely. The state of Tennessee has also been hit extremely hard and major interstates I40 and I26 are closed at the Tennessee/North Carolina State line. A report I saw tonight said parts may be closed for up to one year. 

I can say that although I have been in my position as a watchman and prophesying for so many years now, and Father has been warning and warning that judgment was coming and then finally was 'here', my family and I are having a very difficult time processing what we are seeing. I keep remembering how Father told us we as His remnant would see much, but as this has happened now to us directly, it is almost impossible to describe the utter helplessness we feel at what has occurred. I know we are all hopeful that we would be 'changed' before anything like this happens directly to us, or at least be supernaturally strengthened so we can endure, but as this has not taken place yet, we are still being told to watch, wait and pray like never before. We as a family are exhausted, deeply saddened and heartbroken, and left with so many questions.

I don't know how much more I can say. I thank you all so sincerely for all your love and prayers and the years of your outpouring for us, and I would ask that you continue to pray like you've never prayed before for all those suffering, all those lost, and all those who will continue to lose their lives 'suddenly' and in an instant, being instantly faced with eternity as we race towards the fulfillment of everything in the Word of God and all Yahushua has told us to prepare for in these last hours. 

Prepare yourselves as you are able physically for a complete grid down situation because you just never know, but more importantly, make sure your spiritual house is in order and you are ready to meet your King at any moment, regardless of how you understand things will happen. 

Our Father is in complete control, and His design is perfect although we will not have the entire understanding until we are with Him. Trust, seek Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, obey His commandments, and pray, pray, pray unceasingly. 

In His love always, 

Julie and family
