"Whatever is done which does not honor her, will not last."

I have seen far too many marriages under stress and far too many lives self-destruct because the husband would not lay down his life for his wife.

It is a joy to celebrate with students graduating around the world who have taken Christian Leadership University courses! The pictures below are from Gbadamassi Hansinde Inoussa in Togo. We celebrate together with the growing family of people who can now hear God's voice and see vision, and have a restored relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

In describing how we sense our hearts, I love the word "flow." God allowed me to see it in 1979, and it accurately describes what the Holy Spirit feels like within us as He moves. "Bubble up" is another neat descriptive expression which we get from the Hebrew word  naba, which is translated as "prophecy." Another word I frequently use is "spontaneity." I talk of a spontaneous thought, rather than an analytical, connected thought. However, as you will see from Donna Trent’s article below, our personal definitions and conceptions of words such as "spontaneous" can interfere with the revelation the Lord is giving us. In that case, we need to allow Him the opportunity to reframe the offending word so we see it from His perspective.

Shelley Maw took the course Communion with God way back in 1986 in John and Carol Arnott's church in Stratford. Listen as she tells her story of combining two-way journaling with the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.

The following testimony of permanent physical and emotional healing comes from a CLU student, Linda Burton.

Between 1/4 and 1/3 of Jesus’ prayers/commands for divine intervention involved the casting out of demons. This ratio is often not practiced today, although I personally have made it my goal to practice it. So what was the attitude of the early Church concerning the matter of casting out of demons as people became believers?

Kathy Privitera is an online grad student with Christian Leadership University who recently completed our Communion with God course. Below she shares a wonderful testimony on teaching children to hear God's voice.
