Taste and Hear that the Lord is Near by Dr. Patty Sadallah

Mark Virkler's picture

Do you remember the first time you heard Jesus’ voice or saw Him in a vision and had Him speak directly into your life?  Years before I started my CLU doctoral program, I had a vision of the Lord speaking to me at the end of a dock near a lake.  I hung on to that vision and what He said to me that day but had no idea that I could have that kind of conversation with Him every day until I began my CLU program.

What a game-changer it is to know that you can have Jesus experiences as often as you need them.  We just need to learn how.

In my first journal after learning the four keys to hearing God’s voice, the Lord said:

“Stand up.  Stand still and look up to Me.  Prepare your heart for the message I have for you.  Still your mind with the busyness of the day.  Watch and see the many stories, images, and visions of the future I have for you.  I will show you who I AM and who you are to Me: My beloved child, precious bride, and treasured friend.  You are becoming a mighty warrior, and messenger of My light for the path of many.

Write down what I share with you so you may bless others with it and so you can record your own journey in Me.  Remember that I delight in the journey and not the destination.  So don’t despise the outcomes of small beginnings.  Have an open heart and be willing to be disciplined. I discipline My favorite children! Trust Me to speak to you this way and keep watching and looking up to Me so you don’t miss any important conversations.”

That was January of 2015.  And it is astonishing to me all that God has shown me and done through me since then.  Learning how to connect with God intimately changed my life and catapulted my relationship with God to a new level practically overnight.  Knowing how to experience God using the eyes and ears of my heart with dialogue journaling is just too important of a secret to keep hidden under a blanket.

This is the reason that the Lord had me launch the Experience Jesus with Dr. Patty Sadallah podcast which went live June 9, 2021.

My podcast helps people connect with God in practical ways so they can build memories with Him personally. In each episode, we look at life issue topics and the Scripture that addresses them. Using the Biblically-based skill of dialogue journaling, the listener learns how to tap into God directly using the language of the heart. Jesus is my Co-host each episode as we hear what He has to say about the topic and how it applies to you.  A facilitated direct encounter with Jesus is included in each episode.

Here are short excerpts, between 5-6 minutes each, taken from several episodes so you can get an idea of what the podcast is all about.  For full episodes, check out https://pattyej.podbean.com.  And for more information about the podcast, check out https://pattyej.podbean.com/p/about-this-podcast-1621204497/.  

If your life has been changed by being able to connect with God more intimately by dialogue journaling and you want more people in your life to know how to do that too, please check out the podcast and share it with your friends and family!

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.
