A message from Olivia, from the DC jail, on the morning of the election:

Happy Election Day Patriots <3 Praying with y'all today, that God makes water in a dessert. Isaiah 40 - is what's been on my mind the last few days.  Jonny and I memorized these verses together when this first started and it's so prevalent for this whole valley we've been in these last 4 years. So many families and loved ones are weary and longing to be restored home again, so many have worked day and night to expose and uncover the injustices in this land. But I'm thankful we have a God who can do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can even ask or think! "Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth Not, neither is weary. He giveth power to the faint and to him that hath no might, he increaseth strength. Even the youth shall faint and be weary and the young men shall utterly fall. BUT those that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, they will mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint!" Praying God raises the weary up and sets them upon a Rock above our enemies round about us.  Gives us wisdom for the next leg of the journey and That we see our Country Great Again!!! He's raised up strong and Mighty Men and women for HIM all over this country. He will give us strength to leap over this wall like David said, and the songs and trumpets of Praise will be shouted in the weeks to come. HOLD FAST! HE IS FAITHFUL! FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! 

Letter from Jonathan:

I hope you like your birthday drawing. It’s a good reminder that God has always been faithful to us and we can rest in Him, knowing He will provide and carry us through just like He always has. Have faith and hold fast to His promises. God is good to us, he always has been and He always will be! I hope you’re not worrying about us too much, we’ll be fine in here. The Lord knows what we can handle. When we’re faced with a choice to trust the Lord or trust our own strength, the choice is clear. He has delivered time and time again when we leave it in His hands. Cannot wait to enjoy coffee with you and gather around telling stories with the family like old times.Soon! <3 <3

~I Corinthians 15:54-58~

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 

We’re so grateful to the Lord for His faithfulness, that no matter the circumstances, we can rest on His every promise, Hallelujah! 

WORKOUT:

#4Ashliworkout

BUY-IN: 6 Burpees, (16 Rounds) 21 Lunges, 21 Squats, 21 Sit-Ups, 6 Burpees, FOR TIME

Letter from Olivia:

For the past few years my brother and I have done a Memorial Workout every year called "MURPH" in honor of Michael Murphy killed in combat. This year we would like you to join us in a Memorial Workout for Ashli Babbitt,  Airforce Veteran killed while standing for our Rights and the Integrity of our voting system. This workout was written so no equipment is needed and it can be done even from a jail cell. 

I will be doing this workout from the women's side of the DC jail and invite you to take the challenge as well, whether in jail or at home, then post your times with #4Ashliworkout and a message of love for Ashli's family. Her mother, Micki, who has spent over 600+ days standing for all of those imprisoned here in DC on Freedom Corner. Thank you

See next update for the workout. 

We thank the Lord for His protection and all the answered prayers. Thank you for ALL of your support through prayer and giving!! It means more than you know.

We  wanted to do something to help Micki Witthoeft and the others who stand outside of the DC Gulag each night  giving those inside a voice, who have no voice. The Lord led us to have a Memorial Stone made to honor the memory of the ones who gave all on January 6, 2021. We will be bringing the monument to DC for the 2nd Annual Ashli Babbitt Freedom March on Memorial Day. 

As long as we're here on this earth it will always be a struggle for the cause of Freedom, that's why it's so important to always remember Memorial Day. We give thanks to God for the ones who gave all. 

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. ~Romans 13:11 ~

Thank you for all the letters, books, messages and commissary, their hearts are so encouraged!!  A big answer to prayer is that they did get a bigger room for their church service. It is ironic that after 3 years of not having services because of not having a chaplain, they found one to come in so now they are having 2 services, Praise God they're pressing on and God's Word is going forth. 

Olivia has been filling her pod with artwork trying to bring a little cheer and joy into a place where joy is scarce. She was asked to decorate some of the main rooms, which she's thrilled to do. Thankful for open doors to be able to share God's goodness with the inmates and C.O.'s.  

It doesn't seem like this nightmare is ending any time soon, the arrests have increased regarding January 6. Please pray for our dear friend Thomas Osborne and many others who were (unjustly) arrested recently for "trespassing" on January 6th. 

~Psalm 20:7-9~ Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.......but GOD!!

We are grateful and humbled by all the support for Jonathan, Olivia and our family! 

We are blessed to be able to talk with them most days and hear how the Lord is answering prayers. There has not been a prayer that the Lord has not answered and they are continually thanking everyone for the constant prayers because the Lord hears every one. Some of the answered prayers are  Safety (in certain very unsafe situations, which are many), opportunities to share the Love of God, shoes, even a simple cup of coffee  . We are extremely grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of love by the inmates that Jonathan and Joseph (Hutchinson) received when they arrived at the (J6) pod in DC. We will never stop praying and speaking out on behalf of all of the POW's until they are home. 

~Ephesians 6:19-20~ And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Olivia, at this time, is the only J6 inmate in the Women's Pod in DC and is in General Population. Although this could be a dangerous area at times, God has given her grace through it and she's praying for new opportunities to share.  She and a few ladies were able to have a  Bible Study and prayer time this morning which she was so  grateful for. They didn't have much time but thankful for the time they did have. Her prayer is that it would turn into an ongoing Bible Study/prayer time.  

Jonathan & Joseph are praying for more room for the Bible Study they are a part of. The room they are in now is filled to capacity, hallelujah! Praying it will continue to grow and that the men will be encouraged to hear God's Word and find hope in Him, which is our only hope. 

~II Corinthians 5:20~ Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Letter from Olivia:

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the Land of the Living.           ~ Ps. 27:13-14~

Greetings from a prison cell, This has become one of my theme verses this past year as it speaks so true to me. The only thing that gives me strength and hope is that I HAVE seen His goodness in the land and because of that, I will not faint! I'm currently sitting in a Max Security cell, unable to leave for the 3rd day now, with nothing to listen to but the cries and screams of the mentally insane that occupy the other cells around me, as I wait for transport to DC. However, I had a few answers to prayer: I finally got a Bible!!, they turn the lights down at night (unlike the last place) and I got a piece of chocolate cake!! It's the little things in here.  I have been reading Psalms and came across Ps. 146:7 "Which executeth judgement for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free!  As I read I thought, not necessarily freedom in the physical sense as freed from jail on our time but Spiritually Free, in that our hope is no longer in the world and the things or people in it, but in Christ alone who has set us Free indeed, through His Son. Freedom from the cares of this world for they are fleeting. Freedom from death and sin through his blood.  Freedom from the hand of the wicked through the power of the Holy Ghost. He knows and created every hair on our head and we can call upon and recognize the God who cares for even the sparrow, how much more for His child. I have prayed God lead me every step, one step at a time and light my path and give me strength to walk it. He WILL place us where He needs us.  I pray God gives me the wisdom and strength to be used no matter where I am. With Christ we are more than conquerors. He has given the Angels charge over us that not even our foot will be dashed upon a stone if not His will. In Psalm 35 it tells of the Lord fighting for us against our enemies, being our help, putting to shame those that wrongfully attack us....But it also says "I will thank you in the Great Congregation, in the mighty throng I will praise you." He may have allowed this in my life just so I could praise Him in the great congregation. The whole nation is watching and waiting for us to fail. Laughing at us, saying, "Where is your God now, you lost, you're in prison!" but had it not been for this trial we would not have had the platform to praise him in the "Mighty Throng!" The world is dying for a Saviour and we have the answer. With God you can truly walk in the shadow of death and not be afraid. He has given me true peace where I'm at.

We have been given an amazing country, the likes of which no other people have known, one founded with its trust in God. But we have long lost that trust and have given it to man. My prayer is that the Christians in America will start shouting His praise from the roof tops and making His goodness known. We've got to stop being dumb and deaf to the ways of the Lord. Pray for Revival in this land and God to heal our nation again. If we as Christians don't do it, no one can, because true Justice and Truth only come from the Lord. We have been slack far too long in upholding the principles this nation was founded upon. As long as there is breath in our lungs, no matter where we are, we have a job to do and a purpose for living. To proclaim the Lord God who created, loves and died for us!! For his is good and GREATLY TO BE PRAISED!! 

Sing to the Lord, Bless His name; shew forth His Salvation from day to day, declare his Glory among the heathen, His wonders among all the People. ~Psalm 96:2

We've been sharing with Jonathan and Olivia about all the gifts given and prayers that all of you have been sending up for them.  They and our entire family have felt very blessed and loved by your support. 

Please continue to pray that the truth will continue to come forth about what really happened on January 6th so  that justice will prevail for all of the J6 families.  

~Psalm 27:13-14~ I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
