This will be a great help to future students seeking such acceptance. Thanks!

Your prayers will be greatly appreciated. CLU Students Journal Dawn Veldman, Canada: “Once My prophets discovered that they had the ability to see vision, they never turned back. It was more important to them than even their own lives. They felt they knew Me in a personal way because they could see My plans and purposes for the burdens which I had placed on their hearts. This became their reason for living. They either had scribes to write down what I showed them or they wrote it down themselves. They knew the importance of writing it all down instinctively.” Mike Bastien, Canada: “Father, what do You want to speak to me concerning rest, about investing wholeheartedly in what You are saying, in confessing Your truth instead of the constant negative that I'm realizing comes out of my mouth?” Reply: “Never was it My intention for My children to be caught in a cycle of unbelief and doubt. As you know, without faith it is virtually impossible for anyone to please Me. Impossible. Faith is a simple expression of a rest and reliance upon Me and the words that I have spoken. It is a response to Me and what I have declared to you despite what you see in the natural and what you feel in your soul. “Faith is not a self-determined effort on man's part to believe and to grasp My words. It is a beholding. Faith comes as a result of beholding Me and an accepting of what I speak despite what the outward circumstances are dictating. It is a leaning and a reliance upon My character. “Moses was able to forsake all of Egypt because he SAW. He looked to the reward. He knew I was faithful and true -- That I was One to be trusted and One Who would never fail. You are looking at yourself and asking within yourself if it is possible to break this negative way of thinking in your life. It is a pattern that you have walked in for so many years. There are deeply ingrained negative patterns of thinking in your life that bring you to failure and discouragement. But I have spoken; I have declared to you that I am in the process of undoing and demolishing these ungodly mindsets in your life. I am a God of restoration, of redemption. Everything I do, everything has a redemptive quality to it. That is My nature. “I was constantly and continually challenging My disciples to step out of their own understanding and to look to a greater understanding and way of looking: The natural versus the supernatural. There are only two choices. There are only two ways in which every human being on the face of the earth is living: either in the natural or in the supernatural. “I know you are asking within yourself, 'Lord, I have heard and I hear and yet I have such a hard time grasping. Father, I believe but help thou my unbelief.' Continue, My son. Simply continue. Continue to sit before Me and hear My words. Continue to meditate and take to heart and to speak out loud what I say about you, your marriage, and your children and your future. “I love it, I absolutely love it when My children agree with Me. It brings a great delight to My heart when I see your heart getting all stirred up, a welling up within you, an excitement within your heart when you read My words and ask, 'Can this be?' YES! OH YES! “Faith is simply agreeing with Me. When I speak there is a childlike 'Yes, Daddy.' There is such power in agreement. Either you will agree with the lies and the enemy of your soul, or you will agree with Me and what I see and know to be true. I am the only One Who speaks the full truth. I see and know. “Come, agree with Me over and over. See Me as faithful and true. I am your faithful Friend. I will never leave you or forsake you. Stay in My word, stay in agreement with Me and you will see My mighty right arm of deliverance not just once, but over and over again -- first for you, then your family and then for nations. What I have spoken will surely come to pass!!” Three Dreams and the Journaled Interpretation – Rick Lloyd, Canada Dream – December 20, 2003: I dreamt about 'killing' kittens. First, with kittens in a bag – throwing it into water, then by attaching a bag of kittens to the car exhaust, then using a hammer. Then there was a bright 'neon' sign saying, “Thou shalt not kill.” And I awoke. Dream – December 26, 2003: I dreamt about going up into the attic of my house and being surprised how much useable space existed. I began to plan how to 'finish' and remodel it into useful working/living space. I found it strange, though, that the framed structure did not match the structure/floor plan of my house. Dream – January 10, 2004: I was standing in a crowd. Someone offered me a donut. I patted my stomach with both hands and said, “No, thanks. I'm into middle management.” Lord, would You please interpret my dreams for me? “Rick, the first dream was as Dr. Virkler explained. You see kittens as cute, friendly, soft and fuzzy. Animals represent your emotions. You have been trying to 'kill' your softer, more personable side – although not consciously. Let this come out. Repent of your attempts to quash this development and allow yourself to shine with My light to all you meet. Be more empathetic, more friendly, more compassionate. This is where you need to be. Show people who I am. “Your second dream – about renovating your attic – the attic represents your mind, built over the foundation of your heart, where I reside. There is much more for your mind to grasp – much renovation to occur. Notice that the expanse of space is large – I can fill it with revelation knowledge if you simply allow it to be shaped by your heart. Repent of your past reliance on your own abilities – on your mind. See how empty it really is – how much available space there is. Allow Me to reveal and fill your mind. Lean heavily on your heart – the eyes, the ears, the understanding in your heart. Allow Me to work in you. “Your third dream is to confirm that you are doing the right thing by not pursuing some of the financial avenues that you have been looking into. You turned these 'valueless' endeavors down – in your dream. Do the same in your actions. I will show you paths to pursue. Allow Me to lead. I love you. You are growing well. Begin again to journal regularly. Move on. Be diligent. Let us grow together. It will be for your benefit and for My delight. Come often. Stay long.” 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!
