In a court filing, the tax agency said a decades-old ban on campaigning by tax-exempt groups should not apply to houses of worship speaking to their own members. The I.R.S. said on Monday that churches and other houses of worship can endorse political candidates to their congregations, carving out an exemption in a decades-old ban on political activity by tax-exempt nonprofits.
Today I am releasing a new 22-minute podcast on "Writing from Flow." Discover how to write anointed books and blogs, and give anointed teachings and sermons by tuning to the flow of the Holy Spirit as you communicate.
Dr. Charlette Homes received her doctoral degree recently from our school, Christian Leadership University. She is an amazing prophetess whom I have had the opportunity to minister with as a prayer partner on four occasions. Each time, I have been blown away by the accuracy and power of her prophetic gift. The client we are praying with is always left in tears as God reaches deep within their heart, ministering grace and healing.
LaWanda - I see you, Lord, standing behind me as I am seated in a chair. Your left hand is on my shoulder and your right hand has a pitcher in it. As your pour the contents over me, I see that it is your words that are flowing down. They cover me from my head to my feet. I open my mouth and some of them are poured directly into me. Oh, Jesus, thank you. How wonderful is your word to me, especially when I get it into me.
"Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker … Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?'” (Isa. 45:1-13)

If you are a current or past CLU student, you may sign up here to be notified of these meetings. Dr. Flavien is part of the faculty of CLU and a professor to our doctoral students. Below is part of what Dr. Flavien shared in our last meeting. I believe it will be a blessing to all!
Listening to the news media can cause one to crash emotionally and spiritually.
LaWanda - Oh, Jesus. I see us – me seated and you standing behind me with your hands on my shoulders. You are not speaking but your touch is saying everything.
This must be one of the saddest of all situations; You have a business or a career for which God has great plans, but those plans are never realized because you limited God’s involvement in them. You end your career with just a fraction of the impact you could have had. I believe that situation is the rule, not the exception for most Christians in the marketplace. If we could change that, we could change the world in one generation. While God has great plans for our careers and our businesses, we all too often limit his intervention in our lives by the things that we do.
God speaks, “I am causing the secrets of heaven to erupt within your spirit, resulting in vision, foresight, and insight to saturate your inner being. Do not look to the left nor look to the right; keep your eyes on me. Do not be distracted by anyone or anything; keep your eyes on me. As you keep your eyes on me, I will go before you as a spiritual bulldozer and remove every obstacle in your way.”
