Course
of the Month – Save 25%
Do you know why the upcoming election is so crucial to the future of
our nation and to us as Christian citizens? Do you know what the
Constitutionally-mandated responsibilities of the Congress, the
President and the Supreme Court Justices are? Which branch was given
the power to pass laws? On what basis do the other two branches
issue legislation? What options do the other branches have when one
of them oversteps its authority? Where does ultimate power rest in
the United States, according to the Constitution? What is the source
of human rights, according to our founding documents?
The right to vote for our leaders is a sacred responsibility. It
has been said that in a democracy, “We have the leaders we
deserve.” What kind of government do you deserve? Are you informed
about the candidates and the vital issues? Do you have a good grasp
of how your government works? When was the last time you read our
Constitution? Are you an “enlightened citizen”?
We encourage every American citizen reading this to take
advantage of the 25% discount offered on the tuition of September’s
Course of the Month: the recently revised GOV202 Constitution and
Constitutional Law. This is not an easy course, but it is an
extremely important one. Using text and CDs by Constitutional lawyer
Michael Farris (who has successfully argued cases before the Supreme
Court), this course explores the history of our Constitution, and
Supreme Court rulings that have brought us so far from the
principles of our founding fathers. Become an enlightened citizen
before you vote this November.
The price
will never be lower than it is right now, so enroll in this course

The
Impact of Lamad
Curriculum – One Church’s Testimony
We received a powerful letter from a church which has been using our
Lamad curriculum in their Bible School for the past several years.
This is what the Senior Pastor had to say…
|
 |
I have
been ministering to God’s people for over three decades. I
have become persuaded that the greatest obstacle to maturation
in the lives of believers is the wounds within their souls.
Reclaiming their souls from the wounds of the past frees God’s
people to pursue their destiny in Him.
Years
of attempts with different aids to ministry has made me a firm
supporter of the materials and approach developed by Dr. Mark
Virkler. The concepts presented in How to Hear God’s Voice
are basic training within the life of our congregation.
Counseled by God is a personal pilgrimage that prepares one
for corporate ministry. Prayers that Heal the Heart is without
question, the finest tool presently available for setting God’s
people free from the past.
The
congregational journey we have made with God the Holy Spirit
through these materials has dramatically increased the
spiritual life within our congregation. Our people have grown
in confidence that they can hear His voice and accurately
respond to the leadership of God the Holy Spirit.
These
three courses have become foundational to our ministry efforts
in the lives of God’s people. I most strongly recommend
these life-changing opportunities to anyone serious about
setting the captives free.

Lakeland
Revival Update
Some responses to the current Lakeland Revival situation are posted
below.
An
open letter from Pastor Che regarding recent events.
My
take on the Lakeland happenings (by Doris M. Wagner).
Speaking
Life – Godly Character
Lakeland Revival – By William Lewis – ATM
International
There have been numerous moves of God in the last number of
decades. They are like waves, they come in strong, crash on the
shore, and then recede. The current one took place in Lakeland, FL.
God uses individuals to deliver his messages and miracles. Every
revival or move of God has its excesses, wildfire, and sprinkling of
nuts. However, every move of God leaves a deposit in the earth that
is good. Every revival has helped a large number of people.
Every person that was healed will thank God. Every person who was
born again will be eternally grateful. Todd Bentley is certainly a
different packaging of a man of God, a la John the Baptist maybe. He
has been criticized and vilified, but his heart for the people seems
real. He is not a theologian, he is an evangelist.
Several of the ATM guys attended the meetings. They all came back
with similar reports. They all felt God was doing something really
great. They also all felt that there was too much of a "media
hype" approach. They also felt that the worship was too long,
the interviews too dramatic, but the results were undeniable.
I, personally, feel that God was at work. The healings, the
miracles are undeniably God. Todd Bentley was an instrument and a
clay one at that. This will pass off the scene soon, but God's work
will continue.

Spirit
Ablaze: Seeking Dad’s Path –
Journaling
by Jason Nicholas Major
Father, I am searching for a job. I have been trying hard to look
for one but haven’t found any leads. What would You like to say?
“My child, do I not give you My Holy Spirit to lead you into all
truth? You are on a journey to the promised land. Did not I lead My
people Israel from a place of slavery to a place of prosperity? It
is as I have said. My desire is to bless you and to prosper you.
“Job searching can be stressful. You have been looking so very
hard for a job. I am proud of your search. Surrender your search
over to Me. I will help you in all things. I have the best for you.
“Do I not have a destiny for you? I want to call that destiny into
being. See with My eyes. I have called you and will fulfill your
calling.
“See Me as the One who guides you. It is time to receive your
miracle. Miracles are so much more than physical healing! Miracles
are to be part of your everyday life - your relationships with
people, your financial situation, your future. I want to give you an
anointing for these kind of miracles. My Son Jesus had an anointing
for such supernatural provision. He spoke the word, ‘cast your net
on the other side, and grab a catch.’ Or ‘break the bread and
the fish, and feed the multitudes.’ These are examples of
supernatural provision. He had provision for the vision.
“What I did for Him, I will do for you.
“Is not Christ the Wisdom of God? Does not that same wisdom reside
within you? Would you lead your son to a den of snakes, or would you
lead him to a well of living water? My plan is not to lead My
children into destruction.
“The Israelites did not see this. They only saw the Red Sea and
thought they were trapped. Yet I opened up the Red Sea and brought
them through and destroyed their enemies. And I brought them through
years of wilderness into the Promised Land. I led them where I
promised them. I did not lead them to distant lands. Think of it.
During their years of wilderness, I did not lead them far away from
their land of promise. I was a pillar of fire and a cloud by day.
Will I not lead you in your job search?
“It is My desire that My people have uncanny wisdom in all things.
This wisdom will help them to be a blessing to others. In all areas
of life, people need My wisdom to live their lives to the fullest.
“In a simple thing like a job search, will I not lead you into all
that is good and true?
“Let My Holy Spirit be the one who helps guide your search. Let My
peace and joy rest upon you.
“They tell you that to have a successful job search, you need a
positive attitude. I tell you that you need more. You need an
anointing of faith and trust in Me. You need the wisdom to know how
to best spend your time. You can waste countless hours on job search
or follow My plan and learn skills and be blessed on the way. Let My
Holy Spirit guide you in all your plans and actions. Oh yes, you
will still need to search. You will still need to put out resumes.
But your time will be guided by Me and I will lead you to wells of
living water.
“Be blessed and receive your miracle – the job that you are
dreaming for.”

Humor
Heals – Direct Call to God
A man decided to write a book about churches around the country. He
started by flying to San Francisco, and started working east from
there. Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and
making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall
and was intrigued with a sign which read "$10,000 a
minute." Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone.
The pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct
line to Heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God.
The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he
continued to visit churches in Seattle, Austin, Michigan, Chicago,
Milwaukee, and all around the United States, he found more phones,
with the same sign, and got the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Kalispell, MT. Upon entering a church in
this northern area of Montana, behold, he saw the usual golden
telephone. But THIS time, the sign read "Calls: 25 cents."
Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor. "Reverend, I
have been in cities all across the country and in each church, I
have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct
line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but, in the other
churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads 25 cents a
call. Why?"
The pastor, smiling, replied, “Son, you're in Montana now. This
is God's country... and it's a local call.”
