Graduation
Ceremony in Toronto
On June 29th we conducted the first joint graduation
between Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and Christian Leadership
University. About 20 students received various degrees and diplomas from both
the School of Ministry and Christian Leadership University. Mark had driven to
Toronto for an entire year to teach the students CLU's key courses on the Holy
Spirit. It was a day to honor these students who had experienced both the
Father's heart revival of Toronto and the Spirit-anointed curriculum of CLU.
Below is a journaling entry from Jessie, one of the graduating students.
Testimonies
of divine healing from students taking CLU
courses are posted at cwgministries.org/freebooks.
Two new powerful testimonies have been posted there this month. They are:
“Healing Sexuality” and “Healed from Church Abuse.” Read about the power
of God restoring people's lives. It's the way life is supposed to be!

Martone takes Communion With God and writes…
Dear Mr. Virkler, I just wanted to send you a note
thanking you for this course. It is the best thing that has ever happened
to me. It has revolutionized my relationship with Jesus. I cannot
even find the words how to express this. So, I thought I would let you
read from my journaling this morning and I hope it blesses you as much as it
blessed me. So, thank you so much for being obedient to what God wanted
you to do so that millions of others may learn to hear from Him. (I don't know
how sound theologically this is, but it did bless my heart so.)
Me: “Lord I love You so much. You are so good to me and for me. I
thank You that I can sense Your presence and Your desire to be with me. It
amazes me that the King of the Universe is my friend. I have nothing I can
give You to say thank You. Only myself, which isn't the greatest gift for
I am a sinner, and the only reason I can even offer myself to You is because of
Your kindness and the gift that You first gave me. So all I can really do is say
thank You. Do You have anything You would like to share with me?”
Jesus: “Thankfulness is a rare commodity these days, My child. I accept
it and I am pleased with it. I love you much, My child. You are My
chosen vessel and I, too, long to be with you, but for now you have a work to do
for Me on earth. There are souls to win and people that are hurting.
You are My ambassador. Represent Me well and there will be a great reward
for you in the end of these days.”
Me: “O Lord, any reward I could earn I will only give back to You when I see
You face to face, for I deserve nothing because I am nothing without You.
All I am You have created. Therefore I lay my reward at Your feet and ask
that You just be my friend.”
Jesus: “O Tessie, I am your friend! And as such, friends give each other
gifts. I have already given you spiritual gifts and you have accepted them
readily enough. Allow Me to bless you and shower you with gifts, for it
delights My heart to bless My children, My dear. My dearest one, I love
you.”
Me: (Tears have welled up in my eyes as I think about the Father's love for me
and His desire to give me and all of us good gifts.) “O Lord, Your
graciousness overwhelms me. Your love for me surrounds me like a
whirlpool, ever swirling about me. Your gentleness to me is as a soft
breeze. It is like when my grandmother used to stroke my hair when I was a
little girl. It felt so good. Your voice to me is more beautiful than the
songs of the birds. And Your face, oh Your face is so lovely to me!
“I long to be with You forever. My heart aches to be with You, Jesus.
Lord, I want to cling to You and never let You go. Yet I fear that my love
for You may dwindle. O Lord, never allow this to happen! Somehow in
Your graciousness if You could give me the gift of always loving You, I
would be so happy.”
Jesus: (I see Him laughing in joy, really laughing. He lifts me off my
feet and twirls me around. He loves me much! And I have pleased Him with
the longings of my heart.) “Tessie, I love you! What you have
asked for will be done.” (He looks at me seriously and blows on me and says)
“Receive My gift, daughter. Share this love with many. For when
they see and experience this love between us, they too will crave it.”
Thank you so much Mr. Virkler for doing what God told you to do!!!!!!!

John Cericola Goes Twenty Years Without School
“Greetings in the Name above all Names. I thought it
appropriate to give you a course update. Let me start from the beginning. I
found your website while searching the web for Christian educational material to
be used in children's church. I read through the information on the site and
sent you an e-mail to obtain more information. When you replied I thanked you
for the information and responded by telling you I had to seek the Lord for
permission to enter the university.
“When I was called into the ministry some 20 years ago the Lord would not
allow me to go to Bible school but He did tell me He would teach me. So for the
last twenty years I have been attending the Holy Spirit's University and He has
taught me many things. I was really surprised when I received His release to
take the course; as a matter of fact, I was shocked. Little did I know that He
was about to take me into a deeper relationship with Him through a branch of His
university.
“The year 2001 began with the Lord speaking to us concerning developing a
relationship with Him through prayer, and on New Year's Eve this year He spoke
to our hearts stating, `This is the year for His manifest presence.' Both
messages had the undertone of the Lord realigning the church to once again focus
on Jesus. Your course Communion With God will help the church reach His
objective.
“I find it absolutely wonderful. The material is put together well and
addresses all the concerns of pursuing the inward journey. I believe this course
will change the Body of Christ in many ways and prepare it for the coming of the
Lord.
“I am praising God for blessing you and your wife in allowing you to write
such a powerful book and develop such a powerful course. What more can one say
except praise Him, He is worthy, and thank you, your wife and your family for
allowing the Lord to use you.”
