Journaling
from a CLU Student – George Irwin (India)
”Jesus, I love You. You are my everything to me and every breath I breathe is
given by You. Even when I don't recognize You or Your working, You are there.
You are always working for my good and I long for You more than anything else.
Thank You for Your love for me.”
“George, the more you soak in Me and wait in My presence, the more
saturated you become. You know, it is not even about what you say, or you
looking to say the right word, or read the right number of chapters in the
Bible, or spend a certain number of hours in prayer; it is just soaking in My
presence.
“As My presence overwhelms you, and you say less and less, it is an
overshadowing of My Spirit upon you. It is this overshadowing that imparts the
seeds of My purposes and makes you pregnant. I am looking for those that just
wait on Me and long to sit with Me. There is a time for war, a time for
supplication, but don't take away the time of soaking.
“As you become soaked with Me, you will know because your response to people
will be My love. This is the natural outcome of you becoming like Christ.”
“I see You, Lord, standing there with Your white robe, and arms outstretched
inviting me to come. I come by faith into Your open arms. Hold me, Lord; just
hold me.”
“I am real, more real than you can see or imagine. I am alive. You can
enter this place of rest any time you desire. I have made the way. Just melt
into Me. You know My Word says that 'the hills melt like wax at the presence of
the Lord.' These hills are the barriers, obstacles, and trials of life. In My
presence, and only in My presence, do they melt.
“Too often you try to work hard to remove them. This is like trying to move a
mountain with a shovel. But as you come to Me to find your rest, the hills will
melt like wax. Remember, not by might, not by strength, but by My Spirit shall
the mountains be removed. And My Spirit is activated by your faith.”
Journaling
from Siliye Vincent Liswaniso, Windhoek Central Prison (Namibia) “To follow Me, you have to deny your old self…The Holy Spirit is there to
give you strength. Do not be discouraged. Do not concern yourself about what
people say and think about you. Do what I tell you to do. Listen to what I say.
Fix your eyes on the things here in heaven. I want you to live a clean life. Let
the Spirit lead and guide you and do not use your own efforts, mind, reasoning
and knowledge but wait upon the Lord.
“I have forgiven your past sins and do not let the devil remind you about
them. Improve your relationship with everyone. Be submissive where possible. Do
not go back to your sinful ways. Keep love in your heart all the time. And I
your God will be with you always.”
Watch
Your Words! – A Dream Interpretation–
Steve Bydeley Dream: I was with my wife. I watched as she showed that she could kill
bugs using the enzymes from her saliva. She took what I thought were some bugs
and spit on them. They started to fizz, foam, and shrink. When it stopped I saw
that one of the bugs was really a small bus and the others were small vehicles
as well.
Background: The dreamer, a pastor, was experiencing a dry season in his
ministry and his wife was suggesting he consider supplementing their income with
secular employment.
Interpretation: This is a combination dream since he was active
(“with his wife”) and then, for the remainder of the dream, was an observer.
We define this type of dream as one that is “for and about others, but
affecting the dreamer.”
In this case the dream was for his wife. God wanted her to know that her words
(saliva), about an issue that was bugging her (the low income), were having a
detrimental effect on their ministry (the bus), thereby affecting the dreamer.
Effect on the dreamer's life: Although sharing the dream with his wife
was difficult, it gave them both a new perspective of God's interest in, and
support for, their ministry. The pastor's wife was more careful not to interfere
in the things the Lord was doing, while the pastor was more careful not to allow
external things to affect the ministry to which they were called.
Steve and Dianne Bydeley are authors of the books Dream Dreams, Dreams
that Heal and Counsel, 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 bring healing, 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. Contact them

Severing
Ungodly Soul Ties – An Expanded Prayer (This corresponds with the “Prayers
That Heal the Heart” training materials.)
Picture the person with whom you have an ungodly soul tie (i.e., you have a
close bonded relationship or covenant contract with them). Then speak the
following prayer from your heart (while tuned to vision, flow and emotion).
I forgive ____________. I choose to forgive them, love them, honor them, respect
them and release them.
I take the sword of the Spirit and I cut the ungodly soul tie between them and
me. I cut it, I cut it, I cut it, and I release them from me and me from them.
(Repeat this over several times until your heart is at peace that this is
completed. Use vision and see the cord between you two being severed. See a
sword in your hand and do a cutting motion with the sword – pictures are
powerful and worth a thousand words.)
I ask, Lord, that You circumcise my heart and cut out any evil that was placed
there through this relationship. I also ask that You give me a new heart –
that You restore to me anything precious that was stolen from me. Thank You,
Lord.
I close the door of my heart and I ask the Holy Spirit to seal it so that no
further evil may flow between them and me. Thank You, Lord.
Jesus,
the Gentleman – A Testimony of Inner Healing–
Mary Wallace
While taking the “Prayers That Heal the Heart” course, I pursued the Lord
regarding unhealed traumatic scenes. When several came to mind, I asked the Lord
which one He wanted to heal. I was surprised when a scene from my teenage years
surfaced that had never occurred to me as a problem.
When they were teenagers, my older brother and his friend took his friend's
parent's car without permission and totaled the car. When the case went to
court, the judge's decision was to disallow driver's licenses for the boys until
they were 19. Due to this restriction, I received my driver's license before my
brother and was required to transport him on numerous occasions.
In the recalled scene, I was transporting my brother. During our drive he was
accusatory, verbally abusive, and insulting. I felt defenseless against his
abuse and was crying. I did not have many escape options, so in my desperation I
pulled the car over and told him to get out. I do not remember how far we were
from our destination or from home, but to my amazement he got out of the car and
leaving him behind, I proceeded home.
In the pursuit of healing, I pictured the scene and began to imagine the Lord in
the scene. I saw myself driving the car and my brother riding in the passenger
seat. I remembered his words and the emotions I felt. I then imagined the Lord
sitting between us in the car. I imagined His comforting arm around me. But
there was no comfort, release, or healing in my imagination. I felt frustrated
and angry and challenged the Lord, “OK, where were You when my brother
was being so abusive?”
The Lord asked me if I would like to KNOW where He was and what He was doing. I
confirmed that I would. He replied, “I was holding the car door for your
brother.” In that moment, I saw our car parked curbside with the Lord holding
the car door open and gesturing for my brother to get out.
I began to laugh out loud and continued to laugh for at least twenty minutes.
The Lord was such a gentleman. He did not yank my brother out of the car or
throw him out; He simply opened the door and beckoned him out. I had the sense
that He walked my brother home. It solved the long-standing mystery as to why my
brother got out of the car!
This experience taught me the important distinction between imagining the
Lord in a scene and looking for the Lord in a scene. Imagination brings
nothing, while the Lord's revelation of His position and actions brings freedom
and life. The laughter brought such healing to my wounded spirit and torn soul.
Knowing the Lord loved and tended to my brother as much as He did me revealed
the Father's impartiality, commitment, and compassion for us all.
