Praise God! Testimonies continue pouring in from our free worldwide video streaming event. Below is a story that is sure to touch your heart as it did mine.

We have received a tremendous response to our free worldwide video streaming event. One of the testimonies we were blessed to hear came through Facebook from Andrew: "I just wanted to thank you for giving all of us the opportunity to watch your teaching 'How to Hear God's Voice'. I have previously watched it, but I am so excited it is available once again. I definitely have to say that the refresher teaching has been great.

The journaling below is from Eric Pintueles, a doctoral student at Christian Leadership University, who has just completed the course, MIN510 Experiencing God in the Small Group. Eric lives in Mexico. His journaling has profound ramifications for our lives.

The inspirational journaling below is from Paul Moore. Be blessed as you know that the impact of your life continues out into eternity.

The following is excerpted from the free downloadable book How to Release God’s Healing Power Through Prayer by Greig, Virkler, Gaydos (pages 7-9). It builds a powerful case showing that the Hebrew concept of meditating involved envisioning. So let's not give envisioning over to the New Age movement. Godly imagination is defined as picturing things God says are true. Pictures are worth a thousand words. They are powerful. Let's fill the eyes of our hearts with godly imagination, dreams and visions (Acts 2:17; Eph. 1:17,18). The Word promises that those who do so will be prosperous, successful and blessed! Thank you to Dr. Gary Greig who wrote this piece and is pictured below.

Many people have this question. They feel called to "full time ministry" and wonder how to fund themselves, pay their bills and support their families if they do. The answer may come back, "Just trust God and live by faith," which is generally interpreted to mean, "You don't have a set salary, but live on whatever comes in through gifts." Others charge for their services, and may feel guilty when they are attacked and told that Jesus didn’t charge when He ministered the Gospel or that Jesus sent the disciples out and told them to take nothing with them, but enter homes into which they were welcomed and accept what was given them. Hmmmm! So what does the Bible teach about funding ministry?

The insightful journaling below is from Pastor Arthur Wesley, a UMC pastor ministering in Salem, Massachusetts and a Christian Leadership University student taking the Communion With God course.

What do You want to tell me about the tool of journaling? How important is it? What do You wish to speak into my life at this time?

Living truth! Revelation-based, prophetic truth is what we are after and what we all hunger for. Well, Nora Flavin and her group have found it. Read her inspiring testimony below.

The exciting testimony below is from Sybil Hamada, one of our graduate students who lives in Honolulu, Hawaii. She has just completed the Christian Leadership University course, REN507 Healing Anointing, and has found an increase in the healing anointing that flows out through her. Thank You, Lord, for courses which can stimulate faith and understanding and precipitate an increased anointing in our lives!
