CLU
Has Been the Best Part of My College Education
“I have been blessed by this journey with CLU and my life is forever changing.
I do not have the words to share with you right now, Mr. Virkler, but I will say
that you have changed my life. Your obedience to God has affected my family,
friends and community.
“The Doctorate at CLU was the most important education I have ever had and
will ever get. I received my B.A in education and my M.A. in counseling from The
University of Phoenix. My Doctorate with CLU is the most precious part of my
educational journey. Glory be to God! My Doctorate from Walden University will
allow me to be a certified instructor in the State of Arizona but nothing can
ever take the place of my Doctorate from CLU. I will buy your books for my
clients.” - Shaloma Gray

powerful stories of how the voice and vision of God have impacted her life,
bringing personal physical healing as well as divine anointing.
Divine
Authority Comes from Rhema! (from
one of Mark's spiritual advisors)
“The research goes on for my book on authority. I now see that we (any
believer) have authority only when we speak the RHEMA of God. Since God
retains all His authority and does not give away, delegate, or otherwise
distribute it to anyone, it is only spoken through His people as a direct word
or RHEMA from Himself.
“Because so many believers think that it is very rare, if not impossible, to
hear from God, this concept is very difficult to accept. But to those for whom
hearing the voice of the Spirit has become almost as normal as breathing, it
presents no impediment at all. It is also very liberating because we don't have
to fake some kind of authority supposedly resident in a title, a position, or a
ministry.
“When we don't have a word from God, we merely give our opinion and give
others the liberty to do what they wish with it. When we do speak a word from
God, it contains its own authority and we don't have to try to enforce it by
pulling rank, flashing our badge, or by any other human stratagems.
“It is an absolutely incredible concept to think that God has sprinkled His
divine authority promiscuously on all believers just as some sort of birthright,
and then hopes that they won't use it unwisely! Of course, we will use it
unwisely. Only as we listen to His voice, see in the Spirit what He is doing,
and speak only what He gives us to speak, can we be trusted to be a channel of
divine authority.
“The concepts of Communion With God are absolutely vital to the restoration of
authority to the people of God. May God give you grace and wisdom to disseminate
this message everywhere.” - Rev. Maurice Fuller www.christianministries.ca/mauricefuller
“God bless you wonderful people for giving the opportunity to Johnny as you
have. I have a new husband!” - Kim
Kim's husband, Johnny, who is being released this month, received the Communion
With God course in prison, and began to journal. Following are several of his
journaling entries, used with his permission.
“Lord, I need You to strengthen my marriage.”
“Become a part of your family. Strive to encourage your son. He loves and
respects you. You are the only father he has ever known. Love him as your own
and I will increase your family. Trust in Me and your marriage will make it
through the storms of life. With your eyes fixed on Me, nothing will ever come
between you and your wife again….
“Johnny, all I ask of you is to start praying without leaning on your own
ideas. Be open to Me and I will hear your requests. Selfishness is not of Me,
and I forbid it. So pray to Me with love, understanding and compassion and let
your requests be heard. Just make sure your priorities are straight. I am
strengthening you day by day. My joy and My peace I leave with you, Johnny. Come
to Me often….
“Your emotions must be submitted to the Holy Spirit fully before coming to Me.
I will cleanse you each time you come to Me, if you will only ask. I will not
force anything on you. You must be willing to receive Me wholly and completely.
My will for you is to seek Me daily. Pick up your cross and follow Me. I am a
jealous God. Do not conform to this world. Let My Word transform your mind into
the likeness of Mine. Yes, I am with you, cleansing you, so that our
relationship may grow. I love you, JOHNNY!”

Churches
Changed Through CLU's Curriculum
“My name is Linda Withrow, Dean of Shining Light Bible College in Charleston,
West Virginia. I just wanted to send you this memo to say THANK YOU for the
teaching series 'Gifted to Succeed.' Our school has been in operation for two
years now. We started with 'Communion With God.' This class proved to be a
springboard for greater things to come. Next, we went through the 'Life of
Christ' series. Again, a wonderful class and more excited students emerged.
“After completing all three semesters I felt it was time to teach the class
about the gifts that our Lord has given to us. That led me to teach 'Releasing
Spiritual Gifts.' WOW!! This was even more stupendous! Then came last semester.
After much prayer, I chose 'Gifted to Succeed' as the next semester class.
Little did I know what an impact this would have on SLBC! It seemed that
immediately the students kicked in gear…Mark & Patti, lives have been
changed because of you. Souls will be saved because of you. Gifts will emerge
because of you. I can't say enough about CWG Ministries. Again, Thank you. Thank
you, Thank you.”
Homeschool
Student Finishes High School with CLU
“Joanna, our daughter, has thoroughly enjoyed and has been spiritually blessed
by all her courses at CLU, as she has now finished her senior year in high
school. We praise God for CLU and for the opportunity to attend the High Mill
Church of the Resurrection, in Canton, Ohio, when you taught a Communion With
God Seminar.
“Rob and I appreciate what the Lord is doing through your life and I have
personally been in desperation to hear His voice lately, applying what you teach
about that subject, with wonderful results. God bless you and Patti, as you
continue in the Lord's will for your lives - you have certainly impacted ours in
a profound way. - Because He Lives, Nancy Kapsar”
Toronto
Staff Takes CWG to the Cree Indians
“We've been on an outreach to a church that is located on a Cree First Nations
reservation called Oujé-Bougoumou, which has a 500 population. It is the
smallest reserve in the James Bay area. Andrew Bullock and I taught on Communion
with God. I've never seen it like this before. We only gave the people one
journal session and people were getting deep healing and deliverance from
hearing God's voice!! It was awesome!!
“God spoke straight to their hearts - it was beautiful to see them being set
free just from hearing God speak to them!!! God is good and so faithful. It was
such a privilege to experience this. Thank you, Mark, for sharing the keys God
showed you with us that enable us to share it with all people.
“Our teachings were translated into the Cree language. It is a very basic
language, for example they do not have a name for fingers, just a name for hand
and that includes fingers!! They do have the Bible translated but the older
people do not understand all the new words. It is a hunting language. I set the
scene for their journal session walking with God through the forest.
“Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship asked me to give another course based on
your teaching called: Hearing God's Voice, Knowing God's Heart. I taught the
course and used your teachers' guide with the transparencies and your seminar
guides. It went so well!! Everybody heard from God. It was awesome to see how
Holy Spirit directed the meeting. There were 25 - 30 people. I was so
blessed.” - Marguerite Wessels
The
Voice of God Heals Depression and Influences a Church
“I have begun counseling people and I am amazed at what God is doing. I love
watching Him work. In February of this year I began counseling a woman who was
suicidal. My Pastor, after seeing the change in this woman, asked me to explain
my method of counseling to him.
“I explained that I first start by teaching how to dialog with God and then I
teach them that their identity is in Christ, and the rest just falls into place.
He asked me to teach him how to dialog with God and after he saw and used the Communion
With God workbook, he ordered several copies to teach a class
himself.” - Colleen
“Cindy, you believe that I can speak to you but you don't trust that I want
to and will speak to you. You struggle and strive to hear but because
you work at it, your body becomes tense and your focus wanders and you miss the
stillness that I have for you. Come in simple trust without striving. As you do
this, your body will relax and you will find the stillness you desire. I am your
peace.”
“Lord Jesus, what do You have to say about the eyes of my heart? How do You
want me to use them?”
“I am a God Who not only hears My people, I also see My people. I look down
from heaven and behold them. I have created you in My image with the capacity to
behold. I want you to behold Me. As you behold Me, you will be changed into My
likeness. Let Me fill the eyes of your heart with the visions and dreams that I
have for you.” - Cindy Chedore
