This newsletter contains: A Journaling Sample; Introduction to Some of Mark Virkler’s Friends; and Where to Find Balanced Daily News

Journaling from Kay, a CLU student taking the Communion With God course
“Jesus, thank You. Thank You for being patient with me as I tell You all my frustrations and fears. Thank You that I can come to You and You only lovingly and patiently wait, never condemning me for my feelings, like I so often do. I am sorry that I don't trust You as I should and I am sorry that I too quickly accept the doubts and fears as being more true. I love You and so desire to become more like You and to quickly receive and obey what is written in Your Word, and recognize and trust the `spontaneous thoughts’ as Your voice and discernment for the ones that aren't."

He leans back in His chair and smiles. "It was fun, wasn't it?"

"Yes, Lord, but it wasn't easy."

"As you learn to trust Me more, your doubts and struggles will become less. You must know that I am here with you and will be each step of the way. I love you and want your inner man to grow stronger with this teaching. As this happens your outer man will become more confident as your faith grows."

"Thank You." I replied

"You're welcome. Just trust Me and you'll be amazed at the places we will go."

Journaling - doubt free at last!
"I just got back from a full two-day silent retreat as I did visioning for our parish. It was wonderful. I realized while I was on retreat that I no longer have any nagging doubts about journaling. I simply journal and see what the Lord says when I need to. I certainly thank you for your ministry." Rev. Ronald G. Hörst - rector of Trinity Anglican Church in Ontario, Canada.

Mark Virkler - May I introduce you to some of my friends?
I am going to devote this newsletter to introducing you to some of the outstanding people who are CLU instructors. These people have a lot to offer you. I have asked each of the following individuals to provide you some information about a key product that might be of interest to you and a link to their website.

Maurice Fuller - Revival in India!
Maurice Fuller is one of the men who have served as a spiritual covering for Mark Virkler for about 15 years. Maurice was in India in October 2001, and following is part of the report of his ministry trip.

In one service from 500 - 1000 (depending on who tells it) were simultaneously filled with the Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Another 500 or so were filled as local pastors and our team prayed for them. In the evening services, as many as 2,500 people crowded on the grounds, filling them to capacity.

I was to preach at the next village crusade and was seeking the Lord for a word and the anointing to deliver it. God dropped an unusual message into my spirit, “Who Is This Man?” My analytical mind might have thought it to be a bit too dramatic but it was obviously from God because it was accompanied by an unusual anointing. I preached to a crowd of between 400-500 and when I gave the altar call every last person raised their hand to receive Jesus Christ. I asked those who raised their hand to stand to show they really wanted to follow Jesus Christ. They all stood, the entire crowd!

In one conference, Maria, a young village believer (about 30 years old), shared her testimony of being dead for three days (her body had become swollen, was stinking, and was being eaten by ants). She went to heaven and saw the glories of the spiritual realm and was spoken to by Jesus. She had been a believer for only three months before she died so had no theology of heaven whatsoever.

The believers in her village had called their pastor, Brother Abraham, to help them because a demonized woman was terrorizing the village. When the Pastor arrived and approached her, the demons cried out and begged him not to cast them out because they had been sent to claim Maria’s spirit. He commanded them to leave in Jesus’ name and the demonized woman was completely delivered.

While this was happening in the physical realm, Maria was seeing, in the spiritual realm, a cube-shaped cloud descend from the sky and two angels with it. One angel drove away several demons, which had the forms of Hindu idols and the other one took her to heaven in the cloud. There, she saw the glories of her spiritual home.

The pastor was greatly encouraged by the casting out of the demons and felt urged to pray for Maria to be raised from the dead. As he prayed, rebuked the spirit of death, and prayed for her spirit to return, one of her toes twitched. The believers took her body to the church building where there was room for all of them to gather around her and pray. About 20 minutes later, she sat up and opened her eyes. She had completely new skin (the ants had eaten holes in her dead skin) and was completely well except that she was unable to speak for a year and a half after. In the spiritual realm, Jesus told Maria that she must return to her village. She didn’t want to go but Jesus said, “Maria, you must obey.” An angel led her down to earth on a ladder. When she stepped off the last rung, she spun around like a whirlwind and entered her body.

During the year and a half that Maria could not talk, she grew into a strong, mature Christian. She now testifies in an unusually strong, clear voice without a trace of hesitancy, contrary to what one would expect from an uneducated village person.

Jim Goll - A Prophetic Revolution!
Some years ago a popular British singing group echoed across the stage of time the lyrics, "There's going to be a revolution!" Well, the world made its statement and now it's time for an authentic Prophetic Revolution to take place in the Church! Yes, we are in the midst of the beginnings of the greatest show on earth -- a show of God's signs that will make people wonder! Yes, our heavenly Father is going to bare His holy right arm and His power will displayed unlike any other time in His Story.

But this revolution will not be one of independent people doing their own thing. This shall include a revolution of lifestyle where we learn to lean our heads on the chest of our Beloved and hear His heart beat like John the beloved did. It will be a revolution of wisdom as we shall learn from the lessons of the past and go on to greater maturity. It will be a revolution of vision where Jesus Christ will be the Name that will be exalted above all names.

The revolution is beginning to take shape. Want to partner in it? Want to learn more about it? Then volunteer freely in the day of His power and see what an awesome God can do with a bunch of faceless folks like you and me!

Reuben DeHaan - Natural Health Arena
I have developed a product called Super Nutrient. It is made specifically to provide the nutritional elements missing in so many foods. Absorbable nutrition is required to give you energy, keep your heart pumping, detoxify the accumulating toxins and help you feel good enough to fulfill your destiny. I also created Bowel Stimulant because it is natural for the body to eliminate once per meal and if you are not doing this, the toxins you are eating and breathing have no means of escape. It is very, very important for the bowels to have a healthy eliminative schedule or you will never achieve wellness.
