New: Online chat rooms, forums and chances to build relationships with others who are pursuing deeper spiritual intimacy in their lives!
Over the years, many have asked if we could connect them with others who were doing two-way journaling so they would have people they could fellowship with and perhaps even establish as spiritual advisors in their lives. Well, finally we have this service available. It will only be offered to Christian Leadership University students, so if you have not yet enrolled, now is the time! We will even reduce the tuition for the Communion With God college-level course from $225 to $100 to help get you started. You can enroll and order the CWG course at www.cluonline.com/apply.

All CLU students will have access to a website where they can do any or all of the following things:

Post your name and portfolio, and note areas you would like to discuss with others.
Do a search for other members who want to have discussions on certain topics.
Go to a forum where you can jump into an ongoing discussion as people post their thoughts and you read them and add your own. Or you can create a new forum discussion if you would like, and see if others want to join in on the topic you have started.
Join a chat room with a moderator. Currently we have two a week one during the evening, hosted by Mark Virkler, and one during the day hosted by his daughter, Charity Kayembe.
Have your own chat room whenever you want with your interested friends who join you at a pre-arranged time for a lively discussion.

So the world is now your home. You can connect easily with other passionate Christians anywhere in the world, free of charge and grow together in the Lord. What an amazing time we live in! See you online! (Additional details are being emailed to all CLU students.)

CLU Students Write
I have just finished Communion With God, my first course through CLU. What an incredible blessing!! I am in the midst of a deep valley experience in my life. I'm not sure that I would be walking as closely to the Lord as I am today were it not for journaling and hearing His voice. He has continued to speak hope to me throughout this difficult time.

Hearing God's Voice Mike Bastien
Son, never is it in My heart that My children should live in torment and in deep turmoil of heart.

Yes, Lord, I know. But why? Why can't I shake it? What is the open door that allows this garbage in and robs me of peace and sleep?

Son, a heart that has not found its total rest and hiding place in Me will be vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy of your soul. Your coming to Me must be often and consistent in order for Me to infuse you with My peace, My confidence and My comfort. It takes time for the transformation and impartation of all that's good into a heart that has been wounded and afraid and hard. I am so patient and so willing to impart all the good things that I have promised you.

You are not alone. You are not an outcast. You are not alone in this walk. You are no different than many, many other believers. All who choose to walk with Me have to come and come and to receive and allow the transformation of their hearts and minds to take place.

Remember, I can only do this as you come and sit before Me and open up your heart. Not just once in a while, but daily. I am so trustworthy. There is not a hint of deceit or unfairness in My heart towards you. My plans for you are good and My future for you is to have and experience My best.

Father, it seems that I will never get out of my deep loneliness and despair and pit. It's even hard to come to You.

Son, it has been your experience in coming to Me periodically. You allow yourself to believe that coming to Me is hard, that it takes hours to get through. Yet I tell you that coming to Me is like a dying, thirsty man coming to an oasis in the middle of a desert. The oasis is there. All that is required is to come and drink. It is rather quite simple. Come and drink. Come and take. Come and receive. Forget about your efforts to break through. Forget your spiritual gymnastics and simply come to Me and drink.

Often it is hard for you to come because you are still not convinced and persuaded of My absolute love and commitment to you. I am not holding out on you. I do not desire for you to be brought so low in shame and humiliation that you can barely lift your head. That is not My heart. That is My enemy's job.

My peace I give to you. My life I give to you. My very heart I give to you. What have I withheld from you? Where is the proof of the lie that I am not sold out to you? I proved My love in going all the way for you. I had you in mind when I died. I had our times of communion and fellowship in mind when I hung upon the cross.

Father, I hear Your words and they are true. Yet, in my heart and in my life it seems like You favor people. Some are so blessed. Some prosper and don't have the financial struggles, don't have the deep painful times of failure and struggle. I so want to believe You and trust You. There is so much garbage. I don't know where to start.

Son, one day at a time. I appreciate your honesty and your willingness to be open. Often My Church is afraid to express their true feelings in fear that I will be angry and therefore withhold My blessings. I do not play that game. You can come to Me and bear your fears, your feelings, your thoughts and your soul and I will be there to listen and to comfort, to speak and to minister My life. There is a time to be honest and there is a time to let go. First be honest and then let go.

I do not and will not withhold from you any good thing. That is not My heart. That is not the heart of Father. Yet, as you are coming to learn, there are destructive patterns and beliefs in your life that lead you to failure and defeat and that ultimately cause you pain and torment. I long to sit with you and to hold you and to comfort you. I long to be able to have a one-on-one, heart-to-heart with you on a regular basis. I will never withhold My love from you. Be convinced. Be persuaded of better things. Be convinced of My undying love and commitment to you.

Dream Interpretation: Rain Finally! Steve Bydeley
Dream: Felicia had died and we were removing boxes of her stuff from my basement. John was helping me. We had sorted things and there were only two boxes left and when we took these outside it was raining. The rain had filled a walled area in the back yard. There had been a drought before this.

Background: Over the years the dreamer had noticed that those of his family seemed unable to prosper. They lived comfortable lives, but even that comfort came with its struggles. He had developed a feeling there was a spiritual root to this and had been praying to break it.

Interpretation: John was the dreamer's brother. Felicia was his sister and one who had a particularly difficult time financially. She was always doing extra jobs to make ends meet and even then things happened to rob her of what little she could save.

This dream was telling him that this root (Felicia) had been removed, the drought was over. The last of her roots (boxes) were being removed from his basement (hidden places). It had already begun to rain and was filling his cistern (walled area) and was staying. His family (John) had helped in providing information about and sorting through family experiences, as well as racial and generational issues from the past.

Effect on Dreamer's Life: In addition to being comforted knowing that the financial drought was over, the dream also explained why unexpected opportunities have begun to open up. There is a new anticipation and excitement in his spirit.

Steve and Dianne Bydeley are authors of the books Dream Dreams and Dreams that Heal and Counsel, as well as workbooks, teacher's manual and seminar audio resources. They offer a 12-week Internet Dream Interpretation Mentoring course wherein you are personally and confidentially taught dream interpretation.

The Lord uses dreams to bring healing and to improve marriages, parenting skills, workplace relationships, friendships, give encouragement, 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.
