CLU Course of the Month Save over $100!

I think we would all agree that we are living in difficult days. Wars and threats of violence abound. The economy is unstable and jobs are insecure. Immorality and indecency have become the norm in our culture. The foundational principles of our nation are being rejected and undermined daily. The relevancy of Christianity and the Church are challenged on every side.

Some people are writing letters. Some are speaking out. Some are marching in the streets. We all need to be doing everything the Lord tells us individually to do. But whatever other personal guidance we receive, we have all already been commissioned to intercession (I Tim. 2:1-4). If you believe, as I do, that God is the only hope for our nation and our world, then I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority. We all must be in prayer!

Christian Leadership University offers several courses on Prophetic Intercession that can give your prayer life added direction and power. If you havent taken them yet, now is a great time to start! We have chosen INT302 Strategies and Models of Prayer as Octobers Course of the Month because the insight and revelation it contains will take your intercessory prayers to a new level of power and authority. And thats what we desperately need a Church moving in the anointing, and spiritually ruling through the power of her prayers, confessions and declarations. With teaching from Jim Goll, Dutch Sheets, Graham Kendricks, Steve Hawthorne and Derek Prince, you know youre going to be instructed and blessed in the deep truths of God.

INT302 is a 4-credit course, and therefore it does require more work, more memorization and more time than the usual 3-credit course. But if you are serious about making a difference in your home, your family, your church, your neighborhood, your country, and your world, it is an investment that will pay huge dividends.

Very Special Discount We normally dont offer a discount on books that we do not write or produce. However, because of the urgency of the hour, we want as many people as possible to take this course and learn to pray with greater effectiveness than ever before. We are therefore offering a 20% discount off the materials for this course as well.

During the month of October 2009 only, enroll in INT302 Strategies and Models of Prayer (or the graduate-level INT502) and receive not only 25% off the tuition but also 20% off the books and CDs. Thats a total of more than $100 off the regular price! (And for this month only, we are also waiving the prerequisite of INT201.)

Regular Price: $454.97 + S&H
Now only $352.98 + S&H
(Financial Aid students may request a 10% discount off their already-reduced tuition.)

Enroll now and be a part of changing the world!


If the 4-credit course sounds too challenging, we have another option to offer you. You can sign up for the Strategies and Models of Prayer module with a Personal Spiritual Trainer who will be in contact with you once a week for 12 weeks to encourage and support you. You have much of the same learning experience as if you were taking the college course, but the differences are that you do not turn anything in for grading, you do not take any of the tests, and you do not write the final paper. You do not get a grade or college credits, and the price is $125 less per course than the college student costs. You also get the same 20% discount off the material this month!

Sign up for the Strategies and Models of Prayer PST module today!



October Discount Special Strategic Intercession Package
And if you want to simply get these powerful materials to work through on your own, were making that option available as well. During October 2009 you can order all of the anointed books and CDs below as a Strategic Intercession Package for 20% off now only $107.98!

I Am the Patient Gardener Journaling from Gbemi
Lord, I am Your garden, have Your way. I am not my own, but I give You my all. I lay all my desires at Your throne.

I felt the Lord say: I accept your garden of sacrifice, let Me work in it, let Me break up the fallow ground, remove the weeds and some deeply rooted misconceptions. I want to plant beautiful, life-giving and fragrant plants in your garden so that all can see My beauty and smell My fragrance.

The process might hurt, but the end result is My beauty. I am the patient gardener; I will cause no harm to you. I need to treat the soil of your heart, so that whatever seeds I plant may grow and produce fruit or give fragrance. I will plant seeds that will give beauty, fragrance, healing and joy. I will tend the garden as long as you let Me in. I know you still have your requests, I am not ignoring them. Trust Me that I will answer in My time.

Lord, what about visions? I want to see more.

I felt the Lord say: But you do, My child. I speak to you in your dreams. Practice seeing in your minds eye; remember it must be done via faith. The more you do it, the better and clearer it becomes. Enjoy your day and remember I am with you.

 

Have your own conversations like this with the Lord

 

 


A Fountain of Fire & Water Vision from Janelle Anderson, a Certified CWG Facilitator
I heard the word fountain. As I tuned to flow and looked for vision, I saw myself standing next to a very small spring bubbling up out of the ground. It bubbled up for awhile, then sputtered and just died out. It was even sucked back into the ground and the ground was dry for a time. But then, suddenly, water came surging out again from the ground, but this time it shot high into the air and became a fountain! It spread far and wide over the earth with far more power and strength than before.

I looked more closely and noticed something else was in the water. There was fire in the water! It burned with an intensity and a purity I had never seen before. This fire-water spread out in all directions as it hit the ground and the fountain still was going high in the air.

Lord, what is this? What are You saying to me about this fountain?

The spring represents the influence and power of My Spirit in you before your wilderness season. You did have a measure of My Spirit and life in you and it did touch others to a degree. It died out when I took you into the wilderness and through the dark night of the soul season. It went completely dry because I removed everything from your life outside of just you and Me.

You went into the secret place for a season, deep into the ground and the hidden places of the soul where no one could see what I was doing in your spirit. It felt like a dry season, but I was working in the deep places of your soul, bringing you to a place of deep humility and purifying you, pruning your life.

It looked for a time as if all was lost and that there was nothing left for you to do. You thought I was done with you and that there was no longer a purpose for you in My Kingdom. Not so! I drew you deep into the things of My Spirit, into a place where it was just you and Me so that I could teach you how to truly walk in My Spirit and release the River that is in you.

You have a much deeper and surer foundation in Me now and the fountain (My Spirit and power in you) comes from a much deeper place than before. It will come forth in much greater power and much greater glory than anything you have seen or experienced before! But you must stay grounded in Me, keep those deep roots in place, dwell and remain in the secret place of My presence in your life or that fountain will run dry again. You cannot do anything in your own strength or power. You are a vessel, a container of the treasure which is My Spirit, My Life, My Power and you can only release it as you remain pure and humble before Me.

My plan is to release My Glory through you in a greater way than you have ever seen. I want to send My fire out far and wide and touch many lives with My Spirit as you release this fountain! Just stay in the secret place, stay rooted and grounded in My love, stay yielded and surrendered to My Spirit in you and you will see great things! You will see great things! You have gone through a season of preparation, but now you are entering a season of release and power and you will be very fruitful, My daughter. You have been faithful and you will see the reward!

I am so pleased with you and your heart because you have never stopped running after Me and your hunger is great for Me, therefore you will be filled, you will be satisfied, you will find Me! I see your obedience and your boldness and it is growing. It is just the beginning! You are just now only experiencing the beginning of the birthing forth of what I have planned for you!

Continue to step out in obedience and be bold! No more timidity and no more fear! I have destined you for great things in My Kingdom. Open your mouth wide and I will pour forth My Spirit from you in a greater measure in the days to come. Others will be drawn to this fountain in you because they are thirsty and hungry for Me. Did I not tell you that I would bring forth springs in the desert? Did I not promise you that I would do this?

You are experiencing the cry of My heart as you feel compassion for the ones I bring into your life. I am giving you this compassion for them so that you will cry out to Me for them! My Spirit is crying out for them through you and I will answer that cry and I will draw them to Me. I hear the cries of their hearts in their lonely, dark nights when they dont understand what is happening and they dont know what is wrong or what is missing. As you intercede for them, I can release My power out through you and they will be touched by that fire and they will come to Me.

When they come, just listen to My Spirit. I will speak to you and through you. It will come forth just like a fountain of life bringing refreshing to their spirits, bringing life where there is death and healing to their bones. This is what I have called you to.

Oh yes, you will sing again! You will sing a new song, the song of the Lord again. Dont doubt that, dont fear it! Reach out for it, step out in faith on the water again, My daughter, because it is there for you. Receive it! Stir up that gift again. It is still there and this gift has been refined in the fire of affliction and suffering. It will come forth in greater purity and power than in former days because it will come from a much deeper source.

I will give you new songs, songs of My Spirit that will set the captives free and that will bind up the brokenhearted and will refresh the weary souls. These songs I am going to give you will water the dry ground like springs in the desert. Just wait on Me and I will bring these songs forth. Just believe and wait and it will be done. I will pour them forth into your spirit and you will only have to receive them and let them come forth from your spirit.

Oh Lord, let it be done according to Your Word and Your will. I yield to You, I surrender to You and give you all of me. Do with me as You will. Please cleanse me from all unrighteousness and all pride. Do not let me step off of Your path. I desire only Your approval, not the approval of man. I want only to please You, not man. Let it be done. Do with me as You will. I am Yours.
