Two-way Journaling – Mike Bastien
“Father, it has been a while since I have journaled… no excuses… I have wandered and have not been faithful in spending time with You lately. I present myself before You… what do You want to say?”

Reply: “Mike, you are mine. Forever. Though you do not remain faithful, I will always remain faithful. I will always remain true to my covenant and my commitment to you and to my people. That will never change.

“Yet, it does not benefit our relationship and intimacy when you allow yourself to drift away. It is in my presence where change takes place, it is in my presence where you will see correctly, where life’s experiences and happenings will come into proper perspective.

“When there is a choosing to live elsewhere, other than my presence, there will be an inaccurate seeing and understanding. Remember David my servant, he said until I went into your sanctuary… then I understood… The longer you live in my presence, the more you will begin to see and to be able to see as I see and to properly assess life and the circumstances and experiences of life.

“Life’s experiences can often cause one to come to an improper conclusion about me, about truth and about my word. When there is not a seeing, or a filtering of life through my eyes, you will come to a wrong understanding and you will draw from your own understanding and wisdom (the knowledge of the tree of good and evil). It is either the tree of life or the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that you will be partaking of.

“In my word, it says to abide in me and I in you. To dwell in me, in my presence, to abide, to stay, to continue, and to remain fixed in my presence. It is a state of heart that I have called you and each one of my children to live in. It is there that there will be eternal fruit. It is there that your fruit will remain. It is there that there will be an evidence of my touch upon your life that will outflow to others. Many of my children want the quick touch and at times it is necessary, but not at the expense of not abiding and living in my presence.

“You are remembering the book you read years ago in Bible school, ‘Practicing the Presence of God’ by Brother Lawrence and that is exactly what it is. You must learn to practice my presence, to over and over and over focus your attention on me and to cause your heart to dwell in me. It takes practice; it takes time to learn my ways until it will automatically become part of your life.

“Come, sit at my feet, and learn of me. This is the great call and the cry of my heart for each of my children and for you. Come, sit, abide and continue in me.”



Eight Journals Full – by Sofia
“Just three days ago I had a dream in which the Lord said, ‘Review your dreams of the last year.’ So, I have been reviewing them. Well, I just realized that I’m in my 4th ‘notebook’ of dreams, and in my 4th notebook of two-way journaling. I use big notebooks (most with 150 sheets in them and one of them has 300 sheets). So in 2 ½ years I have – WOW – 8 big notebooks of lots of love, information, guidance, correction, affirmation, assurance, pictures and drawings (I draw what the Lord ministers to me).
 
“Mark, THANK YOU SO MUCH…. Communion with God and Interpretation of Dreams were two great things in the School of Ministry, but at that time I didn’t know I was going to be so blessed by them, by you, by your effort, your testimony and your obedience.  Thank you for the price you have paid, because I’m sure you have had to confront battles and opposition… your obedience has not been in vain. The Lord is working – in us, and in our church (they love CWG)!”
 

Have you checked out the CWG Forum? – Charlene Virkler
A few months ago we set up a place where people could come and share and be encouraged. It’s open to all – those who have taken one or more seminars, as well as those just starting out.

We have just over 100 people signed up right now, but it’s still relatively quiet, so you should be able to get familiar with the board without feeling too overwhelmed. We’re hoping to have people continue to build each other up.

Come share a (short) dream you had that you’d like help interpreting, or maybe try your hand at using the principles taught in Hear God Through Your Dreams. Read what the Holy Spirit has spoken to others or share your own journaling to be an encouragement to your brothers and sisters in the Lord. Share your prayer needs, and lift others up as they request prayer. www.cwgministries.org/forum
 

How to Hear God’s Voice is spreading like wildfire!
In the last five months you have purchased 530 sets of the 10-hour DVD series along with 290 sets of the 10-hour CD series. That makes a total of 820 sets of this life-changing teaching out and being circulated!!

We thank the hundreds of you who are teaching this course in home groups and church groups and Sunday school classes. We get reports back every week concerning these groups. Most of you have not taken the extra step of becoming certified CWG Facilitators (which is perfectly fine), but so far 26 have!


26 Certified CWG Facilitators Are Posted on Our Website! We thank each one of you from the bottom of our hearts for your commitment and passion to teach the Church how easy it is to hear God’s voice. Go to www.cwgministries.org/certified/facilitators.htm for a list of these certified CWG Facilitators. Please invite these certified instructors to your area to conduct a weekend seminar on How to Hear God’s Voice. Bless your community with this wonderful gift of life.


Dave, Cindy and Phillip Johnson are our most recently listed Certified CWG Facilitators!
Since learning how to hear God’s voice several years ago Dave, Cindy and Phillip Johnson’s lives have not been the same. For over 30 years Dave and Cindy have been actively involved in ministering to young people and adults. After learning how to hear God’s voice, their youngest son Phillip has captured the passion to see other Christians learn that God is still talking and wants to talk to them.

Dave, Cindy and Phillip actively minister as a team in inner healing and deliverance and teach others “How to Hear God’s Voice.” Their down-to-earth approach helps Christians step out of their busy, empty lives and develop a fulfilling friendship with God. They believe that God still speaks to His children and are committed to helping them hear His voice.

“We have an upcoming weekend seminar at: Trinity Interdenominational Church, October 13 & 14, Omaha, NE 68154. Registration Information: 402-935-7947
 
“We are also starting a 12-week course September 7 and continuing every Thursday evening at 7:00 pm at Higher Vision Worship Center. Contact information for this is 402-935-7947”


Why Don’t YOU Become a Certified CWG Facilitator? Our initial goal is to have 100 certified instructors and so we have waived the application fee for the first 100 to qualify for this important position. Instructions for becoming a Certified CWG Facilitator can be found at www.cwgministries.org/certified.

Churchgoers Live Longer! by Robert Roy Britt – Managing Editor of LiveScience
The following extend lifespan:
Regular physical exercise adds 3 to 5 years
Proven therapeutic regimens add 2 to 4 years
Regular religious attendance adds 2 to 3 years


Optimists Live Longer by Robert Roy Britt – Managing Editor of LiveScience
Nine years ago a study group – 999 men and women aged 65 to 85 – completed a questionnaire on health, self-respect, morale, optimism and relationships. Since then, 397 of them have died. Optimistic participants had a 55 percent lower risk of death from all causes and 23 percent lower risk of death from heart failure.

Mark Virkler’s conclusion
– It appears to me that if you attend church, complete the Communion with God and the Prayers that Heal the Heart (therapeutic) courses, and you exercise regularly, you could expect to add 7 to 12 years to your life. And since two-way journaling will turn you into an optimist, you can add even more!


Readers Write
“I just wanted to tell you how much I love, love, love your book, Dialogue With God. I have struggled hearing the voice of the Lord for as long as I can remember. I just finished the book today. I was a little sad to be at the end of it. (It had a beautiful ending by the way.) I have never had a book that I associated with so closely. I learned so many things. I am so absolutely pleased to say that I have heard His voice.

“I think when I re-read my journal, I get more out of it than when I am writing while He is talking. While He is talking I’m trying not to doubt or stop His flow of words. I just try to write what I’m hearing. Thank you with all my heart for writing the book and taking that year of study with the Lord. I know you were blessed, and many, many people who have been seeking to hear Him have been blessed and will be blessed by your book. I’m 34 yrs. old, and this book was one of only 2 books in my whole life that I have completely finished (other than the Bible). Each chapter was so freeing to me! Thank you!”
Tonya Lovelace
 
“I am completing my second course toward a Doctorate in Prophetic Ministry. Each course has been extremely enlarging. CLU has been one of the BEST decisions I have ever made.”
Nancy Desole


Intercession and God’s Voice Bring Divine Protection – Diana Holley
“I have found God’s voice to be very gentle and yet very distinct from my thoughts. The Communion With God text [former title of How to Hear God’s Voice] teaches that we all have spontaneous thoughts, ideas, feelings or impressions at times, and if we pay attention we will find that God is speaking to us.

“For instance, my sister and I were on the freeway going to a movie. On our way there the thought kept coming to me to get off at the next off ramp. I ignored it for a while but it would not go away. Finally, I told my sister that we were going to take a different route to the show and got off the freeway.

“When we got home my mom rushed to the door and said, ‘You guys are alright!’ We told her ‘yes’ and then asked what was wrong. She said that when we left she saw us in a terrible car accident. So she started to pray and pray and did not stop until she felt that we were safe. I told her about the impression I had to get off the freeway and when I told her what time it was that we got off the freeway we learned that it was the exact time she had stopped praying. Coincidence? I don’t think so.”
