For $1 a day, you can have your own spiritual coach!

Everyone needs mentoring someone who will take time to check in, be a sounding board, make suggestions and keep you motivated to attain your goals. But modern daily life is busy and its hard to find someone who can make that kind of commitment to you. This is why Life Coaching has become such a large trend professional advisors who make a career of personal, focused attention and guidance. Theyre very effective, but not everyone can afford them.

 

 

Now you can have your own Personal Spiritual Trainer

Communion With God Ministries is making it possible for anyone who can afford a dollar a day to get the one-on-one input needed to master an area of spiritual growth, be it Bible knowledge, walking in the Spirit, leadership skills, finances, prophecy, parenting, vision and life purpose whatever area youre ready to work on and master, you can have a Personal Spiritual Trainer to see you through to your goal.

 

 

Stay on track with a trainer

If you wanted to get into good physical shape, a personal fitness trainer at a health club could give you the experienced knowledge, objective feedback and encouragement you need to reach your fitness goals. A Personal Spiritual Trainer under the auspices of Communion With God Ministries will give you weekly input and personal attention to keep you on-track and moving forward as you attain your spiritual goals. Specialized training modules will give you the tools you need to grow in the area you desire.

You, too, can become a Personal Spiritual Trainer

Its a Kingdom principle: If you want to keep it, give it away!

When Jesus charged His disciples to make disciples, He knew theyd be ready to pass on what theyd experienced and learned from Him. We believe the same for you. As you achieve mastery in each training module, you can help someone else accomplish the same as their Personal Spiritual Trainer in that same area.

Youll be fulfilling The Great Commission to make disciples, even as you continue to fuel your own spiritual growth. Were on the lookout for Personal Spiritual Trainers, so as you progress in your own spiritual growth with these training modules, we want to discuss with you the opportunities to train others.

ABCs Nightline Showcases Scientific Study of Speaking in Tongues
By Vicki Mabrey, March 21, 2007, ABC
(
Click here for the full article.)
At the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Andrew Newberg has been conducting a scientific study of the phenomenon for a long time. According to an ABC report, Newberg found that brain scans show quite different results with charismatics praying in tongues compared to Buddhist monks meditating and Franciscan nuns praying. The frontal lobesthe part of the brain right behind the forehead thats considered the brains control centerwent quiet in the brains of tongue-speakers.

When they are actually engaged in this whole very intense spiritual practice...their frontal lobes tend to go down in activity. It is very consistent with the kind of experience they have, because they say that theyre not in charge. [They say] its the voice of God, its the Spirit of God that is moving through them, said Newberg.

Whatever is coming out of their mouth is not what they are purposefully or willfully trying to do. And thats in fairly stark contrast to the people who arelike the Buddhist and Franciscan nunsin prayer, because they are very intensely focused and in those individuals the frontal lobes actually increase activity.

Says one participant in the study, Pastor Gerry Stoltzfoos, I dont think faith has anything to be afraid of from science. Science validates faith, so bring it on, whatever the facts are, bring it on.

When you have experienced this, you dont really care what anybody else thinks. It is personal in the first place; it is something between you and God, said Stoltzfoos. So we dont really care if it is validated or not, but it is fascinating when it is, so that people who have thought we are crazy can have something to look at andwe are still crazy, we are just not as crazy as they thought.


Two-way Journaling: Gods Football Camp Rev. Steve C. Stutz
Lord, yesterday was one long experience of frustration from start to end. This morning it seems to be continuing. Whats up with this?

Steve, do you remember football camp? You came out in the August heat and spent two weeks doing twice a day grass drills. There wasnt a football in sight, yet you endured this because you knew the season was quickly approaching.

Yesterday I led you through some patience and waiting drills to prepare you for the season! You moved from one setting to another, but each had the same theme. Towards evening you finally began to ask Me what point I wanted to pound into your head.

Yesterday was only a warm up. Yesterday was My love for you becoming enfleshed in the circumstances of your lifesitting in waiting rooms, sitting in offices, sitting in traffic, etc. You know, of course, I was sitting right there with youjust waiting for you to notice Me and let Me take over.

Another thing is how you didnt take your football camp days very seriously. I remember your plan was to lurk about on the sidelines all season and do nothing. I had a great big belly laugh when I saw the look on your face when you heard your name as a starter!

You played every defensive down from then on, but you were seriously behind the curve because you hadnt taken training seriously. In this next season of your life, the opponent who lines up against you wont be flesh and blood. I want you to be preparing in earnest for what will come.

Yesterday I stretched you a little. You are still a little sore, but you are stronger now. My point is about flexibility. If you are going to be present and responsive to Me, you have to be flexible. I blew your schedule out of the water. When you ask Me what I want you to do, it wont fit neatly in your Daytimer. I will make Myself inconvenient for you so that you must break away from yourself.

Steve, continue to seek Me and to follow My leading. Do not concern yourself with what is respectable in the sight of your peers. You are being transformed by Me and I am really excited about the battles that lay ahead for you. The best is yet to come. I am with you and I love you. Have a great day and stay tuned to Me.

If you have a prayer request, you can jump in there too. You can discuss the course you're taking, or talk with others who've already completed a course you are considering next. Wed love to meet you there!

Tent-Making Activity (Acts 18:1-4) Doctors Speak Out!
For awhile now weve been giving testimonies of the health benefits we personally have experienced since we started drinking a wonderful new superfruit juice. Weve also shared the stories of some people that took our advice and tried it for themselves. I dont know about you, but to me, a real-life story of the changes taking place in the health of another individual is pretty powerful!
 
But what if youre looking for something a little different?
 
Well, theres a brand new video that just went up online called
Doctors Speak Out. It has many different MDs, chiropractors, naturopaths, and other types of doctors sharing how they have totally integrated this nutritional superfood into their lives and practices. They believe it is a cornerstone upon which optimum health can be built, and so they recommend it to everyone! Its a short presentation just six minutes so if you are interested you can view the video here.

Laughter Is Healing to the Bones
Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50.

The second boy says, Thats nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100.

The third boy says, I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon and it takes eight people to collect all the money!

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.

Imagine That eBook

Imagine That eBook

by Rev. Jimmy D. Smith | 85 Pages

Beginning sometime around my 72nd year, my imagination really started to wake up again.  I was reading Dialogue with God, by Mark and Patti Virkler, when wheels began to turn.  In the weeks that followed I decided that this was a “do” book, not just a “read to learn” book. I began to do what the book suggested. Somewhere along the line I felt that the Lord gave me permission to experience the freedom of using my imagination to worship Him, to talk to Him, and more importantly to hear from Him.
