upcoming Nigerian tour from March 27th – April 7th. Over
$5000 has been donated so far! A total of $11,000 has been given by CWG
Ministries to Nigeria for all aspectsof this 12-day ministry trip. So
you still have an opportunity to sow into Nigeria. It is not too late to give,

Journaling from Emmanuel Idowu, a CLU Student in Nigeria
“Lord, where does my success lie?”
“My son, this is a question I have been wanting you to ask Me. You see,
there is destiny for every man, but to get to where this may be fulfilled is the
problem. When I was with My disciples, I laid a foundation for them on how to
reach their destinies. Let Me remind you, after My conversations, teaching,
instruction and training with them daily, I would quit and in the night go up to
the Mountain to talk with the Father for instructions for the next day, and My
Father would grant this to Me.
“My son, your success lies on your fervent conversation with My Father and
your Father for the success of your everyday endeavors. I would want you to
cultivate this idea. Yesterday's success was for yesterday, not for today or
tomorrow. You must go to the Father on a daily basis. Make it your duty to come
to Me daily for your daily success so that gradually, you will reach your
destiny and be fulfilled. I am always ready to give you what every day would
require from you for your success.”
On another day: “Lord, why are there confrontations here and there?”
“My son, every confrontation in life is subjected to My authority. I proved
My power over nature, death, sickness, poverty, etc., and these are what perplex
the people in the world. By cleaving to Me and listening to My leading in your
life, all the problems of life will not have dominion over you, but you will
dominate them.”

CLU
Student Testimonies Hermanus from South Africa: Dr. Mark, no money in the
whole world can pay for what I am getting out of this program. I believe that I
am blessed with Father's prima blessings. Thanks for your contribution.
Zinabu (Zee) Degife from Kansas City: The first three courses (Communion
with God, Naturally Supernatural and Cornerstones of Communication) I found to
be extremely inspirational and life-changing materials. I cannot describe in
words how much it is empowering us and changing our lives in a new way and
different pattern to approach God whom we've served for more than 14 years. We
simply found ourselves spending even more time than we expected not just for the
requirements, but also for the love of the sweet value that is in the materials.
Let me share this with you: I've never seen my wife awaking as early as 5 AM and
listening tapes and reading materials. I observed a great enthusiasm that takes
place in our vision to serve God, your tapes, books and study materials taking
us back to our first experience to revival. We truly thank God for your
ministries and your support for my wife and myself in our study with CLU. It is
my privilege knowing you and looking forward in ministering the Lord with you,
in U.S. and international. God Bless!
From the Philippines: Thank you very much for the materials that you've
sent to me. I received it (the Prayers That Heal the Heart course) yesterday
including the book, workbooks and tapes. I listened intently to your tapes and
found out that your teaching (how to have total freedom from all demonic
energies) is what we need here in the Philippines because the background of this
nation is based on occultism/witchcraft, idolatry and animism.
In fact, last night I applied it already (freedom from generational sins and
curses) and I experienced freedom for the first time! Thank God for this
wonderful and liberating truth! God has anointed you so powerfully. Listening
from your tapes is very effective way to learn more and in a faster way. Maybe
it is better if you send VHS tapes (Communion with God and Counseled by God) to
me to watch you on the TV together with my whole family and then to share it
with my co-workers.
THIS IS ALL WE NEED! PRAISE THE LORD FOR USING YOU IN A MIGHTY AND IN AN
EFFECTIVE WAY NOT ONLY IN YOUR COUNTRY BUT HERE AS WELL. If I have found favor
in your sight and God's, please consider my request. Maybe someday, you will
conduct a seminar here in the Philippines! I will be praying hard for it.
CLU
Students Journal Jason from Canada: “Lord, how do You view females? Will
You redeem the sinful images that I have seen with my eyes?”
God's Vision: "I am the Great Artist. I am the Painter of the skies. I
add color to all of nature. Indeed I formed and designed woman to be beautiful -
she is indeed a work of art. Oh, can you picture Me sitting there, painting a
picture of her? I do not look at her as a sinful man would look upon a
prostitute. I do not look upon her nakedness, her sin. I look upon her as
clothed with the radiance and beauty the Father has lavished upon her. I see the
white robe of innocence that Jesus has given her, purchased for her by His own
blood.
“I see the gold that is placed upon her by the Father. Her head is crowned –
indeed, it is crowned with glory and beauty. The angels themselves carry the
train of her gown. She is altogether beautiful, altogether lovely. She is like a
lovely rose - she is the Bride of the Great Bridegroom - covered with the same
innocence, purity and virtue of Jesus. It is not that she possesses these
qualities of herself - they are given her by the Bridegroom.
“When compared to all the other works and wonders the Father has created in
the heavens above, in the sea below, in the stars - the heavenly creatures
themselves cannot compare to her beauty. She is to be revered, respected, the
way the Great Princess of Creation should be.
“How can eyes see the way the Great Bridegroom does? How can they see that she
is a precious stone, she cannot be coveted nor can she be bought? No woman on
earth is a gem to be sold. She is of great value, importance. The Father has
called her His daughter, to be daughters of the King.
“You have seen the female form with eyes of the flesh. Now I want you to see a
woman with the eyes of your heart - eyes that look upon the body, soul, spirit
to see the complete vision that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit see. See
with new eyes.”
Note from Mark Virkler: Wherever I travel, I am confronted with the need
of the Church to hear what God is saying about our sexuality. I am requesting
that if any reader has journaled or does journal about sexuality and you are
willing to send it to me for possible posting in future newsletters, please do
so. I will be glad to omit your name from the journaling (at your request) or
for you to use an alias if you desire. We just need to hear what God is saying,
so I encourage you to journal about this area and consider sending in what you
receive. Thanks!
A CLU Student: “Lord, I have drifted away and so easily for the last
two weeks. You know the why's. I need You. I must have intimacy with You above
all else. My life depends on it. Speak to me this morning.”
“It's hard for you to see Me or to understand when I dance over you with
joy. I do not see you as you see yourself. I am not bogged down by the past and
the failures. You are My joy. You are a joy to Me.”
“But what about all my failures, even my most recent ones?”
“They are gone. Washed away. Forgotten. You have confessed them. I see your
heart, My heart in you. There are two choices before you today. To dwell in Me
or to dwell in you, on your sins, your failures or your struggles. Choose the
better. Sit at My feet and learn of Me. You will find rest for your troubled
soul. Come and sit. Dwell. Rest. Relax in My presence.
“I know your tendencies toward sin and how easily you stray from Me. I see. I
know. As you sit before Me, I cover you with My robe. I place it on you. I lift
your head by putting My hand under your chin, and lift your gaze into My eyes.
There you see acceptance, and approval.
“I know you feel like running, like pulling back. But how long can you go on
like this? This is a much better way. Continue in My love. Live in My love and
acceptance and in My approval. Nothing, absolutely nothing you can do can win My
approval. This is hard for you to grasp. To be free from striving, trying hard
to be accepted; to be free is where I am taking you. Total abandonment to Me. To
My righteousness, to all that I give you; to receive from My hand. No strings
attached.
“Remember, I do not see with your eyes, but you can see with Mine. As I touch
your eyes, receive sight. This is a new day. Today. Come to Me TODAY. NEW!
Fresh. Everyday is a new start. No past. No failure. Covered by My blood. Just
as if you have never failed or sinned. That's how I see every morning. My
mercies are new every morning! Start this day, every day with that fresh
realization. Behold, all things are new. Come away, My beloved. Come.”
Dream
Interpretation – Steve and
Dianne Bydeley Dream: I saw a black circle with a design in the center
that was also black. The whole thing was out of focus. As I watched, it started
to come into focus and I saw that it was superimposed onto our apartment. As it
became clear, I knew it was a satanic symbol that was coming toward me.
Background: We had just arrived for an extended stay at an out-of-country
apartment. We were new to the area and had no idea what to expect, what to find
when we arrived, or what the spiritual atmosphere was like.
Interpretation: We understood the dream to be information from our
Father on the conditions around us, about the area in which we had planted
ourselves for the next number of months.
Effect on My Life: I (Dianne) immediately prayed, even though I did not
have any specific understanding of either the dream or the symbol in the dream.
At breakfast, Steve and I continued to pray against the schemes of the enemy. We
persisted by praying at times through the day until we felt peaceful about it.
We believe some plan of the enemy for our lives was revealed to us. Knowing in
advance allowed us to pray and prevent whatever the enemy had planned.
Steve and Dianne Bydeley are authors of the book Dream Dreams, as
well as a companion workbook, teacher's manual and seminar audiotapes. They
offer a 12-week Internet Dream Interpretation Mentoring course wherein you are
personally and confidentially coached through your dreams.
The Lord uses dreams to improve marriages, parenting skills, workplace
relationships, friendships, give encouragement, bring hope and more. Steve and
Dianne lead seminars and workshops, bringing people into healing and a more
intimate relationship with God and others. Credits for the 12-week Internet
Dream Interpretation Mentoring practicum are available through CLU. Contact the
Bydeleys at info@lapstoneministries.org
and visit their website at www.lapstoneministries.org.
We have received several offers from individuals around the world to translate
our books into various languages. We appreciate each and every offer. If you
would like to volunteer to translate any of our materials, please contact
Mark Virkler.
