A new book by Christine Sanders contains 366 daily prophetic devotionals offering spiritual direction and encouraging the reader to draw on God's grace.

We currently attend Faithworld in Orlando. There is overwhelming faith in both the worship and the teaching.  Click here to view this 90-minute service.  Bishop Clint Brown, the senior pastor, is a truly anointed preacher. I believe you will enjoy any of the services he is speaking at.

Teaching children at home is now a wave in the U.S. according to this article. Homeschooling enrollment is growing seven times faster than public schooling enrollment. Wow! How is this for a return to God's mandate that parents are to train up their children (Eph. 6:4)!

A few years ago I was able to connect a student of mine with Bob Lucy, a long-time minister of the Gospel and also a DID prayer counselor. Bob’s ministry has brought great healing to Kirsten and she has given me permission to use her real name as we share her testimony below.

We did our first phone prayer counseling session with Bob Lucy ministering to Kirsten and me listening in on a three-way call. The session went on for perhaps four hours with a break in the middle. It was powerful and had a life-changing impact on Kirsten’s life. It is now many months after that initial phone counseling session and Kirsten shares below her testimony of healing.

Jesse works in Florida on a paramedic team and rides the rescue vehicle that goes out in response to 911 calls. Jesse comes face to face with cardiac arrest along with a host of other calamities, so as a Christian, he has lots of opportunities to pray for those who are in crisis situations. I met Jesse for dinner two weeks ago and was blessed by his humble and passionate heart. He shared that over a two-year period, every single person he delivered to the hospital was alive. Because, in fact, God had used him to raise at least eight people from the dead in the ambulance on the way!

Are you ready for an adventure? We often say yes, until we are met with the realities of the unknown. If Jesus invited you to take a stroll with Him through a jungle, would you go? Don't worry - what we call a hike in the jungle, Jesus considers a walk in the park!

Question: Can you please shed some light on why I was able to hear God's voice clearly for over 20 years but for the past 5 I have been unable to hear Him? I'm sure you have had this question before and I would be very grateful for your wisdom.  Julie

Jessie Mejias is a Christian Leadership University student who has developed an anointed counseling ministry, Finding Home Institute. The articles in her recent newsletter are so powerful that I want to pass them on to you! The first is about doing things together in unity, and how this magnifies the final outcome. The second article is on how to detect generational patterns that are negatively affecting you and your family and repent for these sins and break them off from your life.

Having noted that I can pray up to four times (or more) for healing, I have been asked the question, "Why do I need to command the healing more than once? Why isn't once enough?" So since I had never asked God that question, I decided to journal about it. I have noticed that many times not much happens the first time I command a healing, but if I do it immediately again, very often a level of healing occurs, and if I do it again, then an even greater healing is manifest, so...

I wanted to share a couple of neat possibilites for you to consider this summer! One is a chance to send your children to a Spirit-Anointed Summer Youth Camp in Lebanon, Tennessee, and the second is a Christian production company looking to employ a puppeteer.
