Training School Testimonies
from several of our Elijah House Schools
|
Dear Spiritual Mother, (from a
student in Africa)
The training School and the prayers
are really fit with this present
time, we are living now. The prayers
itself has taken me to the pass and
I have broken in my heart. But right
now I am receiving freedom and
blessings from our Lord Jesus
Christ.
I have printed out the Scripture
prayer strategy and we have study
these scripture and agree with the
Gospel. During this Period a young
man came to me, asking me if some of
his family members has come to me, I
say no. He made apologize of what he
and the members of his family has
done to me, which is over ten years,
they did that evil to me. But I have
already forgiven them, in my heart
before the young man came. And I
told him that I did that because I
have Christ in me, that I expect him
and the members of his family to
give their life to Lord Jesus Christ
as their Saviour.
Mostly, I will like to have a CD
that covers the whole School
studies.
Please dear Carlotta, pray for me to
have favour from God and man.
As I
have been praying the Cross Walk Prayer,
lesson prayers and scriptures, the
Lord has been working with me and in me
in several ways: My ability to discern
the "unspoken question," the "real
issue," or to see with other eyes has
increased in my interactions with
others. Receiving the prompting of the
Holy Spirit for scripture or for the
right next question has increased
several fold. Patience, peace and calm
in difficult situations has increased
also. I have seen increased levels of
cooperation in the lives of my friends
and those I have been ministering. I
have an increase in willingness to
discuss without criticism in some
difficult communication issues. I have
new willingness to be patient with those
who are less mature in the Faith,
struggling with or dealing with
strongholds ... . Most importantly, I
see and experience a greater love among
the people to whom I am ministering.
Praise God for His provision and answer
to prayer.
I have been
getting a huge amount of healing ever since
I started this course.
This week, God has been showing me over and
over, how much of a loving God he really is.
For the past 3 years, my wife and I were in
a church, that was very biblical, and
doctrinally sound, but it leaned towards the
very strict side and it would make you feel
that God was there, ready to pounce on you
if you messed up. The part of the prayer of
thanks for God's law, that states: "forgive
me for the times I blamed you for being such
a harsh task master" is one of the areas
that I am recovering from. In my time with
God, He is continually ministering love to
me and showing and speaking to me that He
just wants to walk with me just like He did
with Adam in the garden. He is a righteous
judge, but he is not sitting there waiting
for me to mess up, just so he can squash me.
Healing is sometimes instant and sometimes
it takes time, but through it all God is
there just holding me, loving me and bring
healing and freedom to my life.
One
thing I have noticed is that is
different is that I have heightened
awareness
and sensitivity to what people are
saying. At 62 I have some hearing
loss. so I have learned that I must
pay attention when other people are
talking anyway. However, this week
it was as if my hearing had improved
at least 20% or more. It was far
easier to hear what people were
saying and I always seemed to know
intuitively what the correct next
question should be. I felt "tuned
into others" in a new and different,
much more sensitive way. Is it an
increased sensitivity or a
heightened level of discernment???
I thank God, Jesus and the Holy
Spirit, for what they are doing not
only in my life but in the lives
of those around me. May we all
continue to be blessed by new
spiritual openness and continuing
repentance, forgiveness and healing
in Christ Jesus. Amen
Last week when you
read testimonies, I found it
interesting how God worked
through one of them. The testimony
that you read about someone at work,
and how they were forming a bitter
root (I believe it was) at a person
because they always complained. Well
God spoke through that to me and
showed me that I have a situation at
work also. I have a supervisor, who
is so nice to me, but he treats
others not very nice at all. I have
come to resent him in some ways
because of how he treats people. God
brought to my attention that I
occasionally talk about him with a
couple other people who feel the
same as I do. I took the situation
to God and prayed the maintenance
prayer about it. I haven't been to
work since I have done that, but I
trust that God in His mercy, grace
and goodness, has set me free from
that.
My
mother was severely depressed and
didn't leave the house except to
work. Growing up I adopted her
personality and followed her in
depression and isolation. Seems I
accepted the attitude "this is me
and all I will be." I have tried
many methods of healing but only
"ministry" to the inner self has
made the big difference in my
healing.
I see the "surface system,"
"surfaces causes," "root system" and
"causes" as our lesson pointed out.
I have asked God for forgiveness in
my part "ungodly inner vows," etc.
and forgiving my parents. This week,
I joined a women's weight loss bible
study! This is a big step for me! It
is hard for me to be in a group let
alone women I do not even know. I
thank God for the courage to join
and socialize with other people at
this level. I thank God for His
unconditional love and patience with
me. I give God all the glory!
From Fruit to Root: I am thankful for
going thru restoration prayer ministry.
I learned all about going back to my
"roots"- ancestors, parents, family,
childhood, early adulthood. I found
where a lot of my thinking and the "why"
I react to things and peopled was built
on past hurts and wounds. The results
were strongholds, inner vows and
walls-that I didn't fully realize were
there or how powerful they were in
running my life. I learned how to
confess my sins, forgive the sins of my
family, forgive myself and recognize
ungodly beliefs and how to replace them
with godly truth. I learned how to pray
and renounce my sin and break the power
of it and the resulting curses by the
redemptive work of Christ on the Cross.
I learned (and am still learning) how to
release my hurts-faults-failures- with
the help of the Holy Spirit.
This restoration has open my spiritual
eyes and ears- it is teaching me
discernment and understanding in
ministering to others. I empathize with
them. I am them! I have also learned
that it is possible to have God's
calling-His anointing - and still have
flaws, weak areas and lessons to be
learned.
I am learning all
too well the idea of remorse vs. true
repentance...
I know that if I allow myself to be
repentant --I must confess--with total
honesty--thus exposing myself and
restitution always follows-and I'm not
always ready yet for that--I want "the
check to clear the bank"-so to speak.
What I always realize -after the fact -
is that it is not a sin of "spending too
much money" or even the sin of "sneaking
around" but the sin of Disobedience--and
not disobedience to another human but
disobedience to My Father Himself. Now
-given it to me directly-"disobey your
Father"-I would not hurt Him like
that--but give it to me indirectly-like
Satan ALWAYS does- I may fall for it-I
hear whispers like "its your money-you
work hard everyday-you should be able to
spend it the way you like"- and if MY
will-MY want -is strong enough--and I
forget to pray about it-(or don't want
to pray about it)- I make the wrong
decision every time----
I remember one time (recently) that I
wanted a printer - I needed a printer--I
asked-I tried to pray (I did hear a no
but ignored it) I bought the
printer-remorsefully- a day or so later-
I repented- my Father (and another) told
me to return it-a day later -with the
returned money still in my packet--my
tire on the car was ruined when I ran
over something in the road--because I
had the money back from the return of
the printer-I could buy another
tire!!--MY Father spoke loudly to
me--TRUST ME WHEN I SAY NO-I am looking
out for you-. THEN --THEN not only was I
remorseful but truly repentant because I
saw my TRUE sin--I didn't trust my
Father-I hurt Him with my disobedience.
I believe the difference between remorse
and repentance is VISION-when we see
that we have hurt our Father- that we
disobeyed HIM with our lack of
trust--then it breaks our heart and we
repent.
One thing that has helped me
in my walk with God is my daughter.
When she was born, I immediately
fell in love with her, and there was
nothing that I wouldn't do for her.
All the time she is growing and
changing and going through things,
God has showed me many times that
the way I feel is just a small
amount like he feels. For example,
If I call her on the phone to talk
to her, and she is busy on the
computer or watching a movie, she
doesn't really give me her full
attention and it's hard to talk to
her. God has showed me, that is how
he feels when we pray and don't give
Him our full attention when we are
doing so. Or the times we have to
say no to something and it hurts to
do so, but we know that it is for
the better. God also has to do that.
He wants to give us everything we
desire, but wont if it will cause us
harm, or hurt our relationship with
Him.
I
had a lot of questions about
starting this school -- things
like money, health issues and a very
old computer. Two days after I found
about the school a I received a
prophetic word saying that there
were answers for all my questions
and that this was going to be a year
of activation into the more of God.
The next week I called my pastor and
told her about the school she went
online and looked everything over
she told me to go for it. She also
ordered my first textbook. Every
week she prints my homework
assignment. I have a big God a
wonderful and caring Father. Thank
you love and prayers
I had been
struggling with some
reservations about being a part
of this class because I
felt as if I was doing this
behind the leaders backs even
though I knew that this was a
leading from the Holy Spirit to
do this because I'm a licensed
minister of the Gospel and God
is calling me into
Christ-likeness all the way and
I am willing to die to flesh so
that this can be accomplished.
He has been preparing me through
crosswalk life website where I
would read and listen to the
podcast. I would burn them to CD
and listen to them over and over
even when I was sleeping. This
happens whenever the Lord leads
me to do something that does not
necessarily have to do with my
home church that takes me out of
the area of comfort.
I would get these feeling I
didn't understand where it all
came from until the next morning
during my time with the Lord, he
began to bring up a lot of
things that were very much
connected to this struggling
that I was feeling. I realize
now that I had dishonored my
parents and even made bitterroot
judgments against them and my
siblings so now I was reaping
what I was sowing. I am saying
the Cross Walk Prayer so that I
can be free in Jesus. Thank you
for your obedience. I pray that
we will all be free to speak out
boldly and not be intimidated
the next conference call to ask
questions, share and give
testimony. Amen Shalom
Coming alive after the class
on Spiritual Rebellion!
After hearing this Elijah
House School teaching, receiving
personal prayer and reading the
homework assignment the
following night, I said the
prayer for choosing life. By
10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, I had
solved the problem with one of
the financial statements I had
been working on for days. At
that point, I felt like the fog
had lifted and a weight was off
me. I was on a “high” that I had
not experienced in quite some
time.
On Saturday morning, I got out
of bed at 7:30 a.m., which I
have not done without great
prompting in many, many months.
My habit had become to sleep
until 9:30 at the earliest.
Immediately after getting up, I
walked on the treadmill for 30
minutes. I have been trying to
get back into the habit of
working out for many months. I
have been suffering from chronic
tiredness for over a year now.
I had felt for several years,
that there was a disconnection
in my brain. Coming up great
thoughts and plans to execute
them has not been my problem.
The problem has been in the
follow through. Somehow, I could
not get myself motivated to
accomplish my plans. I feel that
God has made all the connections
in my brain since I have
repented of my spiritual
rebellion.
God has restored my energy and
self-discipline. I cannot
adequately express the joy that
I feel in my heart at this
change in myself. God is also
restoring the Boldness that I
have always felt in my spirit,
but have been unable to
completely express to others. I
can see myself accomplishing
great things as God directs them
in me. There are still several
things to walk out and work out,
but I have found my map and am
on my way!
I am finally coming alive in
God! Thank you, Elijah House
School!
I would highly recommend the
Elijah House School
It has been very enjoyable. I
only regret that we have time
limitations and that we cannot
spend even more time fully
digesting the information. (We
have already expanded the class
from the original 2 1/2 hours to
3 1/2 hours.) "A fellow teacher"
This class has made me
realize the need for prayer
counseling.
Through the Elijah House School,
Christians around the world can
be taught to minister to other
Christians. I had been to a
secular counselor and became
more confused than I was before
I went. I could not only have
saved money, but could have had
a closer relationship with God.
Now I know how to trace from the
"fruit to the root" and knowing
the root of the matter can start
real change in one's life.
New Power through the Elijah
House School
I learned that condemning
judgments and dishonoring of
parents can cause the problem to
come back on you. Since I have
learned the Cross Walk prayer, I
am praying it all through the
day and I am teaching it to my 3
children. We have already
experienced real change from so
many things in the class. I now
say "I got the power!"
Thank you, Carlotta, for
your love and friendship
It really means so much to
me. One of the areas I am
trying to develop is
believing people really do
care about me. Oftentimes, I
succumb to the belief that I
am a burden to others and
that I and my concerns don't
matter to anyone. Those are
the times I withdraw and I
become isolated. But more
and more I am beginning to
resist this tendency and I
reach out to friends like
you who have faithfully
loved me and encouraged me
in all things. I have never
received such love and
acceptance before.
Thank you, Cross Walk Life
Elijah House School is a
must for every Christian
Counselor!
I never cease to be
amazed at the new
revelations that I find in
John and Paula Sandford's
books and teachings. They
are surely the Father and
Mother of emotional healing.
I look back and wonder how I
have made it this far in
life without these
teachings. Now, I define
counseling as helping people
to apply the Word of God to
their individual situations
so that they can line up
with God's wisdom and truth.
I was well practiced in many
mental health modalities,
but have learned that we
were unintentionally leading
our clients astray. Now I
know that no matter how
experienced and well-trained
the counselor, how well the
client understands their
issues, how sincere the
effort to modify their
behavior -- patterns are not
broken by re-deciding!
Now that I understand the
law of sowing and reaping, I
realize that we are bound to
reap what we sow, until we
repent, no matter how well
we analyze and understand
the problem! We do reap what
we sow, more and later, no
matter what or who we
believe in. How simple God's
way is. We can just repent
of sowing destructive
patterns, judging others,
dishonoring others and
blaming God for the results.
As we begin to sow good seed
we allow Him to live His
supernatural life through
us!

Thank
you for inviting me to the conference call...
I was a little quiet last night because I had never
experienced anything like that... I had to keep my phone
on mute because I had my children and I was cooking and
bathing my daughter for bed. I truly was blessed and
felt the power of GOD....
I have to tell you there were a couple of things I
saw... I saw my self in a field collecting what looked
like wheat....then I saw a wave of water just hit the
wheat and I began to pick up what look like cotton but
when I looked in my bail it was money....and it began to
overtake me....then I saw... myself building churches
with the money as brick that I had collected...
Once
I laid down... I dreamed I was fishing... in a large
body of water and the fish began to jump in the boat...
without me pulling them in through the fishing rod....I
had so much fish ...they were just piling up on the
boat....
Then I was in a different land... passing the fish out
to the children....I then woke up... When I woke up my
belly was burning... and I heard. "Activation,
Activation, Activation in the name of JESUS!"
Thank you for being a vessel... your ministry is a truly
a gift from GOD.

A
light in a dark place!
I attended a seminar taught by Carlotta called, "How to
Hear GOD'S Voice for Others." I also attend the Thursday
night classes on the same subject. Friday night, after
Carlotta taught, we divided into groups and we practiced
our activations. There was a lady in our group that I
didn't know the LORD told me that she was a Sunday
School teacher at the church and that she taught 12year
olds. Well, GOD was right as usual. She was a Sunday
school teacher, and she taught 11, 12, and 13 year olds.
GOD told me that she was doing a great job and to not
stray from the path and the way she was teaching them.
She was also blessing many of the children.
Then Saturday night we divided up into our groups and
practiced activating and there was a man was beside me.
Carlotta said to just give one word. I told the man
"answers." Well the rest of the prophecy was that he had
been seeking answers to some questions that he had been
praying about. Well, as usual GOD was right on target.
GOD told me that He was going to answer the man's
prayers, answer his questions and that the man would be
blessed for being faithful.
Then on the way home on the darkest stretch of the
highway that I had to travel, I saw a light in my rear
view mirror. There wasn't a car or motorcycle behind me.
I thought at first it was my guardian angel following
me, but later upon praying about it GOD told me that it
represented "me being a light in a dark place." Isn't
that cool?
I would
like to also - once again - thank
Center for Biblical Studies and Victory
Christian Fellowship in Tallahassee,
Florida and Gulf Coast School of
Ministry in Destin, Florida, for hosting
our Elijah House Basic Schools in the
past -- 2000-2004.
Let us know if you would
like information about hosting an Elijah House School at
your ministry or church. One semester can be covered by
attending full-time for one week or by attending weekly
for 12 weeks.
Making ready a people and
preparing the way!
