Do you have a theology concerning the role of kingdom emotions to release a miracle? I sure didn’t. I just scorned emotions as being soulish. However, 37 years ago when I began hearing God’s voice through two-way journaling, God reminded me that Jesus, moved by compassion, healed (Matt. 14:14). So I accepted, intellectually, that there was a place for emotions.

Numerous dreams surrounded the birth of Jesus, as the Wonderful Counselor provided guidance and direction through dreams to many of those involved. He is still providing  amazing counsel to you and me, free, every night. All we need to do is learn how to interpret the symbolism in dreams and how to have our hearts awaken us when our nightly dreams end. This CD series will teach you how to accomplish both these skills. Bless your friends by making this their Christmas present.

In working as a Personal Spiritual Trainer Coach with individuals, I get to read and affirm their journaling. Following is a dialogue I recently had with Patricia, a lady I am coaching as she begins two-way journaling.

Patricia, This is great journaling. Here is what I suggest. Turn the statements into positive, present-tense, confessions, just as David did in the Psalms. For example:

Twenty-five years ago I researched health for two years, and discovered what all naturopaths know, which is that the three keys to living in vibrant health are:

If you are looking for a great devotional book which incorporates two-way journaling as a Christmas present, here are some great posibilities.

Zoe Ayrton is our newest Communion With God certified facilitator. She can be enlisted to share the 4 keys to hearing God's voice with your group. Below is some of her two-way journaling.

Bless your region by inviting one of our many certified facilitators, who may already be in your area, to come and train on How to Hear God's voice. The cost should be very affordable as these facilitators are already in your area.

This is a two-part dream connected by location. In the first part of the dream, I am responsible for setting up an area for an important community social event. The area has lots of round rocks, like in Arizona. There is a flat area surrounded by rocks which serves as a gathering area. I am to set up food and beverages and to greet people.

In 1981 Roger W. Sperry won The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for producing evidence of left and right hemisphere brain functions. I (Mark Virkler) often discuss the difference between the function of the left and right hemispheres of the brain, as well as ways to help you shift from one hemisphere to the other.

Our prayers go out to those who have been hurt or lost family members or friends in church attacks. May God's grace heal the wounds of these loses.

In 2016, violent deaths were more frequent at faith-based organizations than at schools. In comparing 2016 to the most recent 10 years, it was second in the number of violent crimes with deadly potential (with 246 deadly force incidents, following 2015 at 248).

In 2016, from those 246 deadly force incidents there were 65 violent deaths—defined as homicides, suicides, and aggressors killed in action—all taking place at churches or ministries.

I use any worship or soaking music that “speaks” to me.  I need to “like” it.  I don’t think it matters what a person uses as long as they like it  and it worships the King rather than your wounds and problems.  Some worship music seems to be more geared to issues people face rather than the Lord and I avoid them because they weigh me down. If I don’t like it when the volume is up, my spirit doesn’t seem to like it in the subliminal volume (barely audible) either and I get agitated. I have downloaded tunes I like on my iPod for when I am out.  I have also used tunes off of YouTube. I avoid tunes that sing about the wounds we get as I do not want to worship my wounds but worship the King.  I like stuff like the Elevation worship links.
