Good Afternoon, Dr. Self,

I know you are busy but just a quick testimony concerning the class School of Prophets Lesson 2. This morning I took the course and at the end you prayed and gave a word of prophecy, after that you said we should start by asking God for little things like finding our keys or something. Well I have heard you say that before but today I prayed that prayer and asked God to show me where my voice recorder was. I have been looking for it for a few weeks now. To make a long story short, I looked again in some of the same places and started to look in a purse and behind that purse was hanging another purse so I looked in it and there was the voice recorder, I thank you for your teaching.

BE BLESSED

Some time ago I attended an ICM Blitz course entitled "Being Successful In Ministry" which particularly has added so much to my life. The instructors were especially annointed to teach this important subject. This class helped me by showing me how to minister to others right where I was in my life at that time... not involved in a particular "Ministry". I didn't know then that this class would also prepare me for a later time when I was asked to lead a Ministry where I had been attending for two years. Even as time has passed since I took this class, it continues to produce for God's glory as I have been able to refer back to the handout materials as new things come up in the Ministry I am involved with. I am so grateful that ICM opened their doors to the community for this class and may God bless this Ministry. Thank you Dr. Self for your dedication to teaching from God's Word.

Thank you, Dr. Self. By the way, we are thoroughly enjoying the courses of ICM. It has truly been a blessing to both to Forrest and I. The course, Healing the Memories was a little difficult in the fact that I had not processed and put in order issues and unresolved pain of my past. I am learning, though, to extend mercy to myself, accepting myself without judgment, while applying the Truth that I am the righteousness of God in Christ. Thank you for being obedient to the Father and establishing such as awesome ministry!

Blessings to you!

I highly recommend the International College of Ministry to anyone because of my experience with them. I enrolled to work on my BA in Theology. Honestly, I didn't expect I would do well because in school I was just an average student. Then I had the feeling that I didn't know enough about the word of God. I was saved and in my comfort zone, but as I begin to take courses, I was blessed and enlightened through each course. I completed my BA in Theology and shortly thereafter, I was encouraged to work on my MA in Theology. Working on my MA was a blessing and I began to see the hand of God in my life. His spiritual gifts began to come forth from within me. I completed the MA program and decided to work on my Doctrine in Theology. I was truly blessed during that season of my life. The blessings of the Lord begin to manifest in my life supernaturally, including in the natural and spiritual. It was as the word of God states, "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" I Cor 2:9.

Through Christ Jesus, I excelled in all of my classes. I remember I felt I would not do well academically. Also, I felt as if I didn't know enough, but I realized, if I applied myself, the Holy Spirit would do the rest. So I leaned on the Holy Spirit and HE did it. So if you feel you are too old, I was mid 40, that’s no excuse. If you feel you don't know enough or you’re not smart enough, that's no excuse either, because if you apply yourself it won’t be you, but the Holy Spirit. I have been elevated from GLORY TO GLORY, higher heights and deeper depths in God. I operate now in the Apostolic and Prophetic. Now there is a boldness in me. I thank God for this college and the opportunity to become equipped. I thank God for Dr. Ray Self who gave me this opportunity to be educated in seminary school.
