Reach Your Spiritual Goals 
with a “Personal Spiritual Trainer”

 

For $1 a day, you can have your own spiritual “coach”!

Everyone needs mentoring – someone who will take time to check in, be a sounding board, make suggestions and keep you motivated to attain your goals. But modern daily life is busy and it’s hard to find someone who can make that kind of commitment to you. This is why Life Coaching has become such a large trend – professional advisors who make a career of personal, focused attention and guidance. They’re very effective, but not everyone can afford them.

 

 

Now you can have your own Personal Spiritual Trainer

Communion With God Ministries is making it possible for anyone who can afford a dollar a day to get the one-on-one input needed to master an area of spiritual growth, be it Bible knowledge, walking in the Spirit, leadership skills, finances, prophecy, parenting, vision and life purpose… whatever area you’re ready to work on and master, you can have a Personal Spiritual Trainer to see you through to your goal.

 

 

Stay on track with a trainer

If you wanted to get into good physical shape, a personal fitness trainer at a health club could give you the experienced knowledge, objective feedback and encouragement you need to reach your fitness goals. A Personal Spiritual Trainer under the auspices of Communion With God Ministries will give you weekly input and personal attention to keep you on-track and moving forward as you attain your spiritual goals. Specialized training modules will give you the tools you need to grow in the area you desire.

 

 

Master an area of growth in just 3 months

We have created a full slate of specialized training modules (more than 90 of them!) that will give you the materials and personal input you need to master an area of spiritual growth – not just “know something about it”, but master it. In just 90 days.

 

Just think, a year from now you could have four areas of personal breakthrough established and operating in your life. In fact, there’s even opportunity to become a Personal Spiritual Trainer yourself! But let’s talk about you first…

 

 

Personalized goals, personalized attention

You know what you need most, what inspires you most, what lines up with your overall goals. When you choose from over 90 Spirit-anointed training modules, you’ll also be assigned a Personal Spiritual Trainer who will connect with you every week to assist you in grasping and applying the truths and experiences you are absorbing as you work through the material. If you can carve out just 50 minutes a day and a weekly appointment with your Personal Spiritual Trainer – via phone or email, your choice – you’ll see breakthrough in that area of your life.

 

Imagine, you’ll reach a milestone in your spiritual growth every three months!

 

 

Affordable training, manageable commitment, high-quality coaching

We are committed to the equipping and growth of Christians around the world, moving in the flow of the Holy Spirit’s counsel and life-changing power. So we are making key materials available to believers for an enrollment that works out to:

Approximately $1 a day, for course materials (books, student notebook, CDs or DVDs, depending on the course),
plus the weekly one-on-one encouragement and input of a Personal Spiritual Trainer for another $1 a day.

For only $99 for 90 days, you get weekly appointments with your Personal Spiritual Trainer.

Your total investment is about $189 for 90 days, which includes powerful, Spirit-anointed training materials.

In only 90 days, you can master an area of personal growth.

(There’s even a 30-day, money-back guarantee!)

 

You can enroll today, and step into mastery in your spiritual walk, with a Personal Spiritual Trainer alongside to ensure your success.

Call toll-free: 1-800-466-6961 (or 716-681-4896 outside the U.S.) for a free consultation to discuss your goals and the module best suited to get you started.

We’ll have your training materials and the contact information for your Personal Spiritual Trainer in the mail to you within two business days.

 

You, too, can become a Personal Spiritual Trainer

It’s a Kingdom principle: If you want to keep it, give it away!

When Jesus charged His disciples to make disciples, He knew they’d be ready to pass on what they’d experienced and learned from Him. We believe the same for you. As you achieve mastery in each training module, you can help someone else accomplish the same as their Personal Spiritual Trainer in that same area.

You’ll be fulfilling The Great Commission to make disciples, even as you continue to fuel your own spiritual growth. We’re on the lookout for Personal Spiritual Trainers, so as you progress in your own spiritual growth with these training modules, we want to discuss with you the opportunities to train others.

ABC’s Nightline Showcases Scientific Study of Speaking in Tongues
By Vicki Mabrey, March 21, 2007, ABC
(Click here for the full article.)
At the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Andrew Newberg has been conducting a scientific study of the phenomenon for a long time. According to an ABC report, Newberg found that brain scans show quite different results with charismatics praying in tongues compared to Buddhist monks meditating and Franciscan nuns praying. The frontal lobes—the part of the brain right behind the forehead that’s considered the brain’s control center—went quiet in the brains of tongue-speakers.

“When they are actually engaged in this whole very intense spiritual practice...their frontal lobes tend to go down in activity. It is very consistent with the kind of experience they have, because they say that they’re not in charge. [They say] it’s the voice of God, it’s the Spirit of God that is moving through them,” said Newberg.

“Whatever is coming out of their mouth is not what they are purposefully or willfully trying to do. And that’s in fairly stark contrast to the people who are—like the Buddhist and Franciscan nuns—in prayer, because they are very intensely focused and in those individuals the frontal lobes actually increase activity.”

Says one participant in the study, Pastor Gerry Stoltzfoos, “I don’t think faith has anything to be afraid of from science. Science validates faith, so bring it on, whatever the facts are, bring it on.”

“When you have experienced this, you don’t really care what anybody else thinks. It is personal in the first place; it is something between you and God,” said Stoltzfoos. “So we don’t really care if it is validated or not, but it is fascinating when it is, so that people who have thought we are crazy can have something to look at and—we are still crazy, we are just not as crazy as they thought.”


Two-way Journaling: God’s Football Camp – Rev. Steve C. Stutz
“Lord, yesterday was one long experience of frustration from start to end. This morning it seems to be continuing. What’s up with this?”

“Steve, do you remember football camp? You came out in the August heat and spent two weeks doing twice a day grass drills. There wasn’t a football in sight, yet you endured this because you knew the season was quickly approaching.

“Yesterday I led you through some ‘patience and waiting’ drills to prepare you for the season! You moved from one setting to another, but each had the same theme. Towards evening you finally began to ask Me what point I wanted to pound into your head.

“Yesterday was only a warm up. Yesterday was My love for you becoming enfleshed in the circumstances of your life—sitting in waiting rooms, sitting in offices, sitting in traffic, etc. You know, of course, I was sitting right there with you—just waiting for you to notice Me and let Me take over.

“Another thing is how you didn’t take your football camp days very seriously. I remember your plan was to lurk about on the sidelines all season and do nothing. I had a great big belly laugh when I saw the look on your face when you heard your name as a starter!

“You played every defensive down from then on, but you were seriously behind the curve because you hadn’t taken training seriously. In this next season of your life, the opponent who lines up against you won’t be flesh and blood. I want you to be preparing in earnest for what will come.

“Yesterday I stretched you a little. You are still a little sore, but you are stronger now. My point is about flexibility. If you are going to be present and responsive to Me, you have to be flexible. I blew your schedule out of the water. When you ask Me what I want you to do, it won’t fit neatly in your Daytimer. I will make Myself inconvenient for you so that you must break away from yourself.

“Steve, continue to seek Me and to follow My leading. Do not concern yourself with what is respectable in the sight of your peers. You are being transformed by Me and I am really excited about the battles that lay ahead for you. The best is yet to come. I am with you and I love you. Have a great day and stay tuned to Me.”


Have you visited the CWG Forum lately? – Charlene Virkler
Many people have signed up, and there are gradually more posts. But we could use more! If you want to practice the things you’ve learned about dream interpretation, come visit and see if there are any dreams waiting to be interpreted. If you have a cool journal entry that you want to share, either as encouragement to others or to see if people think it’s the Lord, there’s a place for that. If you have a prayer request, you can jump in there too. You can discuss the course you're taking, or talk with others who've already completed a course you are considering next. We’d love to meet you there!

Tent-Making Activity (Acts 18:1-4) – Doctors Speak Out!
For awhile now we’ve been giving testimonies of the health benefits we personally have experienced since we started drinking a wonderful new “superfruit” juice. We’ve also shared the stories of some people that took our advice and tried it for themselves. I don’t know about you, but to me, a real-life story of the changes taking place in the health of another individual is pretty powerful!
 
But what if you’re looking for something a little different?
 
Well, there’s a brand new video that just went up online called “Doctors Speak Out”. It has many different MDs, chiropractors, naturopaths, and other types of doctors sharing how they have totally integrated this nutritional superfood into their lives and practices. They believe it is a cornerstone upon which optimum health can be built, and so they recommend it to everyone! It’s a short presentation – just six minutes – so if you are interested you can view the video here.

Laughter Is Healing to the Bones
Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, “My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50.”

The second boy says, “That’s nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100.”

The third boy says, “I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon and it takes eight people to collect all the money!”
