December 2003 – God's
Voice Worldwide – From Dr. Mark Virkler Author of Communion With God and President of Christian Leadership University Vision: To Saturate the World with Communion With God This newsletter contains: Celebrating Jesus; John Wesley; User-friendly Books on Healing the Heart; End of Year Report for Communion With God Ministries; End of Year Report for Christian Leadership University; Students' Responses; Testimonies of Divine Healing; Attend an Upcoming Seminar Free Celebrating Jesus – Our Savior, Healer and Deliverer In the bustle of the season, take time to remember why Jesus is so much better than Santa! www.kingssite.com/inspirations/whyjesusbetter.html We have set aside December 25th as a day of special remembrance of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His life has transformed our world and each of our lives through the power of His Spirit, saving, healing and delivering us. All of us at CWG Ministries and CLU wish you a very blessed Christmas celebration and wonderful New Year. May 2004 be the best year of your life (so far)! John Wesley (1703-1791, British Preacher) "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you can." User-friendly Books on Healing the Heart I have just discovered two companion books, Altars of the Heart ($12.99) and Altars of the Heart Ministry Guide ($9.99) by Thom Gardner. These are the most user-friendly books on inner healing and deliverance I have found on the market today. They are a perfect companion to our book Prayers That Heal the Heart, and I plan to make them available for counselees to take home to help them process wounded areas of their hearts. These books have my highest recommendation! I recommend these books to you if you are a counselor, or if you have a heart wound that needs healing, or as training manuals for home group study. We will have these books available to ship from our offices on January 12th. Rush orders can be drop shipped earlier. The author, Thom Gardner (dramamama@innernet.net), is also available to do a workshop on healing the heart in your church or group. I encourage you to contact him about this possibility.

Students Responses “Allow me to thank you for the wonderful learning experience you offered me through the courses of CLU. I was enriched and enjoyed the journey to graduation every step of the way. Unlike many other Theological Schools, the courses of CLU were distinctively different and Spirit-filled in content. The proverbial 'dry wood' was almost non-existent. I feel the courses I took helped to prepare me for the ministry road ahead.” Rudi Swanepoel “I know that my taking the CLU courses was the best choice I have made regarding my education.” Rev. Ron Horst, Anglican priest who earned both a master and a doctoral degree from CLU CLU counseling techniques were the most effective… “I am currently a staff psychiatric social worker at an inpatient unit for adolescents. I have a small private practice as well as a teen group at my local church. I have received a Bachelor of Science in Business and double majored in Psychology, as well as achieving Master's level training in Counseling. “I have worked in two psychiatric units as well as a teen homeless shelter, and provided home-based family counseling in the inner city. I have supervised numerous clinicians and developed programming for these positions. In my current position at the hospital, I work all day alongside the most reputable psychiatrist in our region. “Knowing what I learned in my secular training is definitely useful. However the knowledge and skills taught through the counseling courses at Christian Leadership University are what have been EFFECTIVE. I see more positive longstanding results in the private practice patients utilizing the information taught and cultivated by Communion With God, Counseled By God, Prayers That Heal the Heart, and Christian Dream Interpretation than any of the counseling theories that you are forced to study in Master's Level Counseling Curriculum. Secular counseling techniques mainly 'band aid' people's struggles and symptoms. However, inner healing heals the wounds in a person's heart. “I can say that the training received in the Counseling Curriculum at CLU has been absolutely priceless for the many counselees I have worked with. Instead of getting caught in endless talks about 'the problem' you learn to minister to people on a heart-to-heart level and not a head-to-head level.” Salvatore Cerniglia MS, CRC, Psychiatric Social Worker, Ellis Hospital Adolescent Treatment Center Testimonies of Divine Healing 1) A young man who was in pain when he played the guitar because of a cyst on his shoulder received healing from the Lord. I led prayer over him in his group and envisioned the healing light of Jesus. I prayed, “Holy Spirit, release the healing light of Jesus into Chris's shoulder. Thank you, Lord, for the anointing.” As we prayed with him and I looked into Jesus' face in my mind's eye, I heard the Lord say “grandmother,” indicating that he had an issue with a grandmother that he needed to forgive. It took him a couple of minutes, but then a major wound from one of his grandmothers surfaced where he was betrayed in some way by her. After he forgave her I felt a flow like cool, gently flowing energy and tingling going into his shoulder as I was led by the Spirit to pray: “Pain, we command you to leave his shoulder and not return. Obey the body and blood of Jesus! By His wounds this man's shoulder has been healed. I command this cyst to dry up in the name of Jesus. Spirit of injury, leave this man's shoulder.” He felt peace and no pain on his shoulder at that point but said he needed to test it by playing the guitar, which is when the cyst would become very painful. We'll find out next week if the healing is complete. 2) A woman, Jody, who had chronic pain in her right hip, was completely healed of the pain after a few minutes of prayer. Catherine and I prayed with Catherine's hand on her right hip and the other students gathered round her: “Holy Spirit, release the healing light of Jesus into Jody's right hip. Thank you, Lord, for the anointing.” We did the TPT: “We command her pelvis to rotate and come back to the way God created it to be in Jesus' name!” She felt stuff moving. When we found out her ancestors were deeply involved in Freemasonry, we led her in a prayer asking the Lord to forgive her parents' and grandparents' involvement in this cult. Then we broke the curses of the first three degrees of Freemasonry against the throat (1st degree), the heart (2nd degree), and the bowels (third degree). We were led to declare all ties with powers of darkness through these curses broken by the blood of Jesus. She choked a bit as some demons left her. Then we asked the Holy Spirit to increase His power on her right hip and she felt warmth of the anointing there. We commanded pain to leave: “Pain, we command you to leave her hip and side and not return. Obey the body and blood of Jesus! By His wounds she has been healed!” Then we checked in with her, “How is the pain level?” She said about 60% better! She was crying. So we kept praying and asking the Spirit for more power, blessing what the Lord was doing, and commanding pain to leave completely. After a couple of minutes more the pain was completely gone, praise God! Then we told her, the devil tries to send back conditions like he tries to send back demons. When—not if—when you feel the pain try to return, tell it to leave you in Jesus' name. The Lord has healed you. Do not let the devil take back territory in your body. 3) Another young man, Mike, who had suffered from neck and shoulder tension for several years, felt the tension and pain lift as we and others prayed over him asking Jesus to remove them. We asked the Holy Spirit to release His power to heal on his shoulders and waited for the anointing to fully manifest. Mike felt heat and warmth on his shoulders. For the first time in years (I used to see this way and have now just begun again) I saw little wisps of what appeared to be barely perceptible steam over his head shaped like flames of fire—that's the Holy Spirit's way of showing me He is fully manifested on a person. I see it with my natural eye, but others don't always see it. When we asked the Lord if there were any blocks to healing, the Lord brought to his mind several people he needed to forgive. But the breakthrough really came when we asked Mike how long he had had the pain in his neck and shoulders. He said he had had it since he and a Christian friend went on an archaeological dig in Italy five years ago. It turned out that this Christian friend severely backslid and fell away from the Lord at that time. Mike took on the spiritual and emotional burden of it. The Lord said to me, as I listened to Jesus, that there was a demonic spirit of tension and pain in his shoulder and neck muscles. So when Mike gave the burden of his friend and the burden of his current studies at Regent to the Lord, I was led to say: “You spirit of tension and pain, leave this man's shoulders now in Jesus' name!” Mike said he felt something lift off and the pain leave. He said, “I feel like I grew an inch!” The principles for ministering divine healing demonstrated above are taught in the booklet “How to Release God's Healing Power Through Prayer” – Free download from www.cwgministries.org/freebooks Another new free booklet posted: “Power Evangelism: Learning to Depend on the Holy Spirit, His Healing, His Gifts & His Power to Follow the Pattern of Jesus' Kingdom Ministry” (by Gary and Catherine Greig) Bring a group to an upcoming seminar and receive FREE books, free admission to the seminar (maximum value $20), and $125 off your next Christian Leadership University course!
