How to Overcome Your Trouble Seeing and Hearing God: Connect in His Language by Dr. Patty Sadallah
Dr. Patty Sadallah has offered us some great examples of simple "training wheels" for identifying and using the eyes and ears of our hearts. Below are excerpts from Patty’s full article (with a few inserts from Dr. Mark Virkler).
The eyes of our hearts allow us to see pictures on the screen inside our minds.
The ears of our hearts allow us to hear the inner dialogue that takes place in our heads.
To surrender your spiritual senses to allow God to communicate with you is to sanctify your imagination. The degree of clarity of seeing and hearing you experience in these exercises is similar to those when you encounter Jesus in journaling. It’s totally normal! The more you do, the more you can. Practice will increase your ability.
Heart Faculties Do Function Easily and Normally: Three Simple Tests to Prove it
Eyes: Your kitchen sink and refrigerator: Let’s practice using these spiritual senses right now. Here are three simple tests to prove how normal it is for you to use the senses of your heart. First, close your eyes and imagine your kitchen. Look around the screen of your mind. Walk up to your sink and turn it on. Touch the water, feel the temperature of the water, and then shut it off. And then go over to your fridge and open it. Do you feel the blast of cold? Examine the contents of your fridge. Were you able to do that? You just used the eyes of your heart. When Jesus is giving you visions, it is the same inner experience, other than the visions are being prompted by the flow of His Spirit within, and not me painting a picture for you to look at. Don’t miss how simple vision is by making it something harder than this!
Ears: Now close your eyes and sing Happy Birthday in your mind. Could you hear yourself singing in your mind? You just used the ears of your heart. When Jesus is speaking to your heart it is the same inner experience, except He is talking. A big reason people miss hearing His voice is that they make it harder or different than this experience.
Guided images: Now, this time, keep your eyes open. Imagine that you are holding an orange. Is the skin thick or thin? OK. Now, imagine that you are cutting the orange in half, and putting the orange up to your nose, do you smell it? Now squeeze the orange and touch a bit of juice to your tongue in your imagination. If you were able to experience any of these senses, you were able to surrender your imagination to my suggestion. Connecting with God is no different; you are simply inviting God to engage with you through those senses.
In two-way journaling, you are asking Jesus to show you things using the eyes of your heart and speak to you through the ears of your heart. The Holy Spirit who is joined to your spirit (1 Cor. 6:17) fills these senses with revelation from Jesus.
Overcoming doubt
Hearing and seeing by the spirit is so simple and easy and normal that we are tempted to doubt it and say, “It’s just me.” This is where faith in the promises comes in.
The Lord answered this question in Patty Sadallah’s journaling:
When you call on My name, do you expect Me or a demon to answer? Let Me tell you the Truth. No demon would dare answer My call. Be careful what you expect. Your expectations reveal your true heart. If you don’t believe that I can or will answer you, you will not be able to connect with Me. Not because I am not answering, but because you don’t believe that I am answering. Confess and repent for this unbelief and welcome Me to answer. Watch what I will do!
The more you do, the more you can. Practice will increase your ability.
Use this spiritual home base to meet Jesus regularly and He will always be there to communicate, heal, direct, and comfort you as needed. Building memories with Him in your special place is a faith propeller that will transform you into your Christ Identity.

If you believe it is just your mind speaking back to you and not Jesus: Bind the demons of doubt and unbelief and rebuke them in Jesus' name and state your confession that you are a believer. You believe the Bible works in you. You are a sheep and Jesus promised that His sheep hear His voice. So you hear Jesus’ voice, period. Fear, doubt, and unbelief be gone in Jesus' name! I am a believer!

Mark and Charity have teamed up again to write a book on how to easily manifest the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. It took us several years to break through all the confusion and present a clear, simple understanding of how to release the nine-fold manifestation of the Holy Spirit everywhere you go and with everyone you touch. It is not hard! It can’t be since these are gifts of the Holy Spirit, not things you have to work for.
The goal of this little booklet by Jessica De Krijger is to help young children, ages 3 and up, learn how to start hearing God's voice for themselves. It is never too early to teach your children that they can hear from God. They are primed to do this. God's Spirit is urging them to come to Him. So reinforce this call with this beautiful full-color booklet which you can read to your children. Discover more at the Playtime With Jesus Website.
This workbook has a coloring book feel that kids love. Children as young as 3 years old all the way up to 10, can start hearing and seeing Jesus for themselves every day. It's easy and it's fun! On each page of this book, Jesus invites your child to come and enjoy a different activity with Him. As they play with Him, they get to know Him, His heart, His character, and most of all His humongous love for them. The goal of this workbook is to help lead your child into a deeper, personal relationship with Him.
This book is similar in format to Through the Bible, except that Psalms are meditated upon paragraph by paragraph, rather than chapter by chapter (as are the rest of the Bible books in the full text). For those seeking an intensive examination of the book of Psalms, this text is for you.
This workbook accompanies the book 49 Lies - Religious Lies Jesus Told Me to Stop Believing, providing an extended scriptural meditation of the 49 themes discussed in the two-way journaling found in that book. The two books may be purchased together here.

Contrary to the secularized health care system of the western world, the Bible establishes health care as a ministry which falls under the jurisdiction of the priests:
"And THE PRIEST shall look at the mark on the skin of the body, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the infection appears to be deeper than the skin of his body...he shall pronounce..." (Lev. 13:3).
This amazing 40-day journey will explore 40 ways you can encounter God! It introduces you to such topics as experiencing salvation, and welcoming the Holy Spirit. Then on to encountering the Father's love, experiencing forgiveness, hearing God's voice, two-way journaling, spiritual warfare, the law of sowing and reaping, prophecy, speaking in tongues, expectant faith, receiving dreams, experiencing revival, physical healing, inner healing and renouncing the occult.
This book is an account and description of my secret place with the Lord. It is a true story, it is not fiction. All the details described in this book have happened to me, and I continue to meet with my Heavenly Dad in this place almost every day. I have described the physical attributes of the secret place, the events that have occurred there, and how God has taught me about His character and loving compassion.

Sound doctrine. Correct theology. Sounds easy. Seems like if I would just apply my mind, I could establish sound doctrine and keep myself from heresy and error. And that is exactly what I did for many years, until God stopped me dead in my tracks, and got me to look up every verse in the Bible on doctrine and theology (15 in the NASB and 37 in the NKJV). Wow! Was I in for a surprise! You will be, too, as you go through these verses with me in this book!
God made man creative, and, in addition, He has given man the ability to draw upon the eternal creativity of God. Locked within you lies a divine reservoir of creative energy that can transform your life.
God spoke to Marc Huddleston in his two-way journaling, "The quietness of a man's mind in My Presence is the birth place of the release of My limitless creativity."
