The testimony below is from Robert Thomas, a Sergeant in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. God set him free through a short inner healing and deliverance prayer session over Skype. I share this to let you know that prayer is the answer to lives being lived in turmoil. We appreciate so much the sacrifice of each one who has served in the military, and we say thank you to you all! Part of our thank you is that we as the Church can minister healing prayer to your leftover hurts and you can be set free. As we pray for one another we are healed.

It had been a full year and a half since my daughter Katelyn Marie perished in a car accident while rushing home one evening to beat curfew. The pain of that moment, of the whole experience was my Great Sadness (see The Shack by Wm. Paul Young) bearing down on me daily and especially at night. Evenings were most difficult because the plague of "what ifs" would cover me from tip to toe, mulling me over in his clammy hands never letting go and squeezing every ounce of joy from my soul.

I invite you to experience this biblical meditation as you quiet yourself before Scripture and the Holy Spirit, and allow God to reveal Himself to you. Let it bring the changes within you that God desires.

Thanksgiving is a time to remember to be grateful. Take a look at the chart below and note the power of appreciation. Your heart rhythm becomes like smooth ocean waves. How much healing do you suppose that brings to your spirit, soul and body?  Diagram from "Institute of HeartMath"

I learned how to do Muscle Response Testing (i.e. Applied Kinesiology) in 1997, and at that time I wrote a book titled Health Mastery Through MRT. The book provides a biblical and scientific basis for MRT and teaches the reader how to do MRT. MRT is amazing because it allows your body the opportunity to communicate back to you what its needs are and how to best solve them. And it does this free for the one who learns how to do Muscle Testing, which is something I want to teach you in this blog. If you have heard Muscle Testing is New Age, then read this blog to help set your mind at ease.

I introduced Mark Holloway to you in a recent blog. He has written an awesome book of two-way journaling which details his battle with doubting that God is really speaking to him. I consider the book to be powerful because it describes with such reality the daily battle with doubt that we all struggle with. Satan wants us to doubt. God wants us to believe. Without faith it is impossible to please God. 

Journaling from Julia Parker as she goes through our Through the Bible training. A word that we all need to hear!

T. David Manohar is one of our recent doctoral graduates from Christian Leadership University. We are proud of this accomplishment in his life, and are glad to publish an article he is using in the secular workplace on Whole Brain Learning. His article gives a brief historical overview of how scientists have come to the understanding of left and right brain functions, and then explores the question, "How can I use both hemispheres more effectively?" The specific topic he uses as an example to demonstrate how to use both hemispheres is writing.

We look for ways to donate to victims of natural disasters where the majority of the money actually goes to the victims and not to administrative expenses, and where the organization is a Christian ministry so the compassion of Christ can be expressed through the help given. Below is such an organization. We have given through endPoverty.org for years. Their newsletter is below, and they have a special link to give to those in need in the Philippines. 

The following journaling is from Michael Gridley, as Mark taught the 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice to the students at Global School of Supernatural Ministry in Mechanicsburg, PA. 

Lord, how would You have me use the eyes of my heart?
