First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim. 2:1-4)

He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant. He grew up in another village, where he worked in a carpenter shop until he was 30. Then, for three years, he was an itinerant preacher.

Christian Leadership University is thrilled to have students around the world learning to hear God’s voice. From their testimonies below, you will see this has transformed their personal lives, their marriages and their families. God has released into their lives His gift of peace. Peace on earth, good will toward men. This reality is especially remembered during the Christmas season. Lord, thank You for Your gift of peace!

After being raised in a cult (Christian Science) I finally met my Savior and best Friend Jesus at age 38. Ten years later, I stepped into my first pastorate after having completed seminary and my denomination's requirements.  I was introduced early in my journey to Christians who could "hear from God" - these wonderfully gifted and seemingly unique individuals.  I longed to hear God's voice, but thought it was just for these super-special super-spiritual Christians, but certainly not for me. I would seek out these opportunities to interact with prophets and get a word from the Lord whenever I could. 

Many growing Christians come to a point in their spiritual journey where they become hungry to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit along with the gift of speaking in tongues. As they seek this experience they discover, as I did, that it took months to receive it.

Since I live only 40 minutes from the headquarters of Charisma Ministries, I was able to drive up a couple of days ago and do a podcast interview with Dr. Steve Greene on Overflow of the Spirit, our newest book and newest training module.

We had a fun 37-minute discussion about the book and other things of interest to Spirit-filled Christians.

You can access the podcast, and an article about the podcast by clicking here.

If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chron. 7:14).

Obviously God rules and bestows upon a people the leadership that will accomplish His will. God has a will concerning the outcome of the current election, and many prophets have prophesied what it is.

We are excited about our brand new book which just came out last week, Overflow of the Spirit! It is going to make releasing the nine manifestation of the Spirit an easy, daily experience in your life which you can flow in with confidence from this day forward. I wish I had this information 50 years ago.

It is very hard to find any balanced information. Most of the standard news sites are promoting a liberal agenda, so if I wanted to discover news on the conservative side, where could I go? Following is a partial list of such websites. Obviously, I don't agree with everything any news site puts out. I don't even agree with myself half the time, which is why I change my books when they are re-published. So no need to fuss about total agreement. However, if you are looking for an alternative view of the news, the following will provide you with that.

Watch the seven-minute prophetic declaration by Jonathan Cahn as he calls Christians to fast on election day, November 3, for God's divine intervention to block evil and raise up righteousness in the national elections. This is a historic moment for our nation. We can step forward into righteousness or backward into darkness. It is a crucial day. Join Patti and me as we fast and vote for God's chosen leader, who is against the murder of innocent babies and capable of restoring righteous choice to all in our nation.
