Fine Tuning Dial for Hearing God’s Voice

Mark Virkler's picture

So what about those days when you can't get through and hear the Lord's voice? Don't despair. We have some really good answers. The first step is to utilize The Tabernacle Experience, which is God's ordained pattern for approaching Him. Then, if you still feel like you have not gotten through, He has provided a "fine-tuning dial."

God's "Fine Tuning Dial" is found in Hebrews 10:22 (NKJV)

Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with...

  1. A true heart
  2. In full assurance of faith
  3. Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and
  4. Our bodies washed with pure water (Heb. 10:19-22; Eph. 5:26 washed with rhema).

The above four get us into the Holy of Holies where we quietly receive from God. In the chart below, you process these four requirements along with three additional ones found in other New Testament Scriptures.

Ask these questions...

Record what God speaks...

Lord, is my heart true? Am I coming in sincerity, with no deception or hypocrisy? Am I being honest before You? Am I harboring any reservations?

 

Lord, am I coming in faith? Have I made a quality decision to believe all that You say with all of my heart? Do I believe Your River flows within me?

 

Lord, is my conscience clear? Have I confessed my sin and received Christ's cleansing blood? Is my confidence in You, that You will sanctify me and present me blameless before the Father?

 

Lord, have I obeyed the rhema I have already received? You won't advance me further revelation if I haven't acted on previous words from You.

 

Lord, am I asking You to tell me what people will do? Am I asking questions You do not want to answer? Instead I will trust You to work all out for good (Prov. 3:5,6).

 

Lord, are my motives right? Am I asking so I can consume for my pleasure (Jas. 4:3)?

 

Lord, are You calling me to fast to release the answer (Mk. 9:28,29; Dan. 10:2,12,13)?

 

 As you finish your devotional time, review what God has spoken above and let Him impress you with what He wants you to carry with you this day as a result of this time together.

A Scripture, insight or experience the Lord wants me to speak over myself today is…

 

As I wait for God's promise to manifest, the Bible tells me to… (Heb. 10:23-26)

  1. Hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering - no grumbling or complaining.
  2. Consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds - no discouragement.
  3. Don’t go on sinning willfully - no despondency or reverting back to previous sins.
  4. Pray repeatedly, multiple times a day (Jas. 5:17) - never pray once or twice and quit.

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.

Imagine That eBook

Imagine That eBook

by Rev. Jimmy D. Smith | 85 Pages

Beginning sometime around my 72nd year, my imagination really started to wake up again.  I was reading Dialogue with God, by Mark and Patti Virkler, when wheels began to turn.  In the weeks that followed I decided that this was a “do” book, not just a “read to learn” book. I began to do what the book suggested. Somewhere along the line I felt that the Lord gave me permission to experience the freedom of using my imagination to worship Him, to talk to Him, and more importantly to hear from Him.
