LaWanda – ♪♪ O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds Thy hands have made.  I see the stars.  I hear the rolling thunder and there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art. ♪♪  O Jesus, if we just look around, the world inspires our AWE.  Even in this evil age in which we live, there is still much that proclaims your Glory.  Thank you, Lord, that you have not removed yourself from America, that we can still see you at work if we will just look.   To know this, Lord, I need look no further than myself, at the continual transformation of my own heart.  Thank you, Lord Jesus.  Help me to share you with someone today.

LaWanda – O precious Lord, I come before you today undone by your love.  O Jesus,  that you have allowed me to hear your voice in the moment and pray for 3 different people, Lord, humbles me.  

Are you tired of struggling endlessly in your quest for transformation into Christ-likeness? Would you like two quick, easy, biblical steps for overcoming self, sin, sickness, weakness, and failure?  In this two-part series we will explore the three New Testament verses with the word “transform” in them.

Matthew 9:29b   “According to your faith be it unto you.”   Jesus, what would you like to say to me?

A loving encounter between Jesus and His bride. An example of experiencing God's great love by utilizing stillness, vision, flow, and journaling.

In this blog I want to share with you one huge insight I gained as I researched and wrote the book Hearing God's Voice for Healing. The revelation concerns the two main Greek words in the New Testament that are translated as “heal.” They are Iaomai and Therapeuo. 

A prayer to pray over each conversation: ‘Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer’” (Psalm 19:14).

Cathy Kawar is a CLU student in Jordan. She is taking our Prayers that Heal the Heart training module which includes journaling questions for each area of your life. She has permitted me to blog about her five days of journaling concerning “The dreams God has for her.” As you read, allow God’s amazing love to touch your heart. Journal about these five questions and receive His wonderful counsel. Let your heart be inflamed with His faith, hope, and love.

I enjoy reading the life stories of leaders and asking, “God, what would You have me take away from this person's story?” I recently read books on the life stories of Elon Musk and Einstein (both written by Walter Isaacson), and Trump (written by Trump).

I received this question from one of our Christian Leadership University students who is completing his master's degree.
