South African Pastor Embraces 4 Keys and Sees Miraculous Growth - by Dr. Don Paprocky

Mark Virkler's picture

Pastor Patrick Chauke of the Glory Power Center (GPC) in the village of Magona, South Africa, has seen explosive growth in his ministry, which he credits to learning to live only by God’s voice and visions through journaling, by using the 4 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice.  Sunday service attendance at the GPC in Magona, a village of about 4000, consistently has an overflow crowd of over 750. (The average church size in South African villages is 50-100!)

Patrick has also seen hundreds of people come to Jesus almost monthly from regular evangelistic and healing outreaches in the regional villages.  This has included seeing many hundreds of people healed and delivered from satanic bondage.  A recent 9 day conference at the GPC had over 7700 in total attendance, with over 1300 people receiving or rededicating their lives to Christ!  The village of Magona for many decades was considered a hotbed for witchcraft and the occult and now has become Jesus’ light in the region!

Patrick has also planted churches in the region and is a regular conference speaker in various churches.

The GPC is part of Glory Power Ministries (GPM), a missions organization founded and led by myself and my wife, Myrna.  I am a graduate of CLU and work closely with Dr. Mark Virkler, helping in teaching seminars, counseling and more.  Patrick, along with other GPM pastors, was first taught the 4 Keys at a seminar in South Africa in 2014.  I have continually emphasized to the GPM pastors over the years to live only by God’s voice and visions through the 4 Keys, and to journal about everything.  They have embraced these teachings, and Patrick, as the lead GPM pastor in South Africa, has especially seen tremendous fruit. 

Patrick says that journaling has encouraged and blessed him greatly over the years, including seeing God’s early prophecies that He spoke to Patrick come true:

Patrick and his wife

“Actually, when I journal, the Lord would tell me that He would bless me in Glory Power Ministries if I would obey His voice and do His will. He will bless me, and I will not suffer financially. And He told me He would give me a house, and don’t worry about the house now, you must do My will, and be faithful in Me. Listen to My voice, and I will give you a car and give you a house. You won’t be struggling anymore if you just do My will. When I would journal, He would always talk to me like this. We were without a house, and without a car, and without money, and my salary was very low.  It was very difficult.

“Sometimes the Lord will tell me in a dream and would talk to me in a dream like that, and in journaling. So, after these things happened, I am driving and now I have a car, and I have a house – I am not struggling now. It is going well now because I listen to God in the journaling.

“In the past, the Lord told me that the church would grow very big. I was suffering before in a small church (that was not growing), and the Lord told me that you will have a very big church. I will raise you up. You will have a very big church. At Magona, you will be a leader of pastors. You will make a lot of pastors. In South Africa, in our province of Limpopo, you will have many churches. God said, ‘I told you to serve in Glory Power Ministries to make leaders.’ And all this is happening now. At that time, it was not easy. There were no pastors at that time when He told me all of this. I was alone.

“I was alone, but the Lord told me we will make many pastors and have many churches. And now that has happened. We have a church in Magona. We have a church at BLOCK D. We have a church at Phaweni and more. The Lord said, we will have many churches, and we have churches now. My journaling, I was listening to the voice of God, and He was telling me these things.

“Before I prepare my messages, I pray first. Then I journal before the Lord. I ask Him, ‘what do you want me to teach’ in the service or in this crusade, or in the home cell group? So, I journal, and the Lord guides me which passage to teach or preach on. So, I pray, and then I journal, and the Lord will talk to me. He will say something like, ‘you need to teach people about love,’ or, ‘you need to teach people about faith,’ or, ‘you must teach people about curses.’ Then, I will look up verses on curses or love or faith.

“And the people respond very well to the teaching, because I am depending on the voice of God. People are listening more to my messages when I teach, since I learned how to hear the voice of God. Years ago, my teaching was poor, but now, people are responding. They tell me that I am a father, a teacher. It is giving me power, especially when people encourage me that they are blessed from my message.”

Patrick continues about how journaling has helped him:

Don teaching the 4 keys

“In my personal life and my family, God told me that He will bless me with a business to take care of my family and my children.  In my family, we journal always, with my wife. It is easy for us in our family. We give thanks to you, dad [Dr. Don]. Now, when we hear the voice of God, we don’t rush like we used to. Before, when I would rush in my decisions, I would make big mistakes. But now, you taught me not to rush after I hear the voice of God. It is really helping me.

“I give thanks so much to Dr. Mark and to you, Dad, because you gave us this teaching when it comes to journaling. Because I used to journal, but not like this. Once you started teaching us how to journal, now we know much more, because we journal about everything. Everything we do, we first journal. It is helping me a lot. Before learning the 4 Keys, we would ignore God’s voice, but now, we don’t ignore His voice at all. We thank you so much, because now we don’t struggle. If I hear the voice of God, it is easy for me to walk with God.

“I journal every day! Journaling is my life!”

It gives a father great joy, albeit it a spiritual father, to see his children receive his teachings and produce godly, eternal fruit.  Thank You, Jesus!

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation ebook

Unlocking fresh revelation daily - by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know? eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used various methods for discovering truth such as: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so.

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.
