God I think I heard you saying early this morning that I would have to swim against the tide of religious opinion?
No I didn’t say you’d ‘have to’. That’s Religion again. He’s always adding his manipulative mischief to what I say. He drives my people this way and that with so many dos and don’ts. He demands and shouts, whereas I ask and suggest.
Ok. Would you LIKE me to swim against religion’s tide?
God I feel like we’re not having enough conversations – just talking back and forwards like this?
Mark we’re talking heaps.
Really God??
Really. Relax.
Ok, so what are you saying?
Mark, I hate writing, and I essentially don’t write. Is there any chance of sending me a paragraph on what you spoke about yesterday on the phone about breaking off any lies, fears of writing, fears of English and resentments toward school teachers, so I could pray through these things and get into two-way journaling? Thanks, Noel
God I think you’re saying that you hide big truths inside people and situations that look completely wrong to us believers? That Religion’s rules about where we will find truth are NOT your rules?
Yes exactly. I’ve always hidden truth like that. Historically, when I have revealed truth, it’s often been believers who have been most unhappy with it.
Can you explain?
Of course. Write down these examples as I explain them.
Why God sounds different through each of us – the common people. And why he likes it that way.
God, Charity Kayembe said something the other day that made me realise you sound different through each of us. That’s HUGE isn’t it?
It is. Let’s look at what she said and why it’s so significant.
Dennis Atwater, a Christian Leadership University student, shares the following: Today while driving to work through the forest near where I live I wanted to step out and try to "see" as I have been learning in the course 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice.
Just over three years ago I, Lisa Verbruggen, was introduced to hearing the Voice of God and knew right away that it was a gift I wanted to give my children. I purchased the book for teens and we began going through it, simplifying it where needed for them. We went through it twice and by the end they were all hearing God's voice as part of our morning devotion times. They receive so easily and readily.
One thing I have seen through their journaling is how much God desires to establish His great love for them. I have also seen the security they experience resting in His love. A few times in the last year after some challenging days for our family, I took the morning off to soak and journal with the children. They received so much I was unable to give them at the time. They can receive from their perfect Heavenly Father.
God it seems there’s always some quiet little worry, sitting almost unnoticed in the back of my mind, just gently needling away at me. When one tiny worry goes, another comes to replace it
Yes. Do you think that’s a good thing?
No. But it often happens without me even realising.
Explain.
The following is a testimony of how satan stole the revelation of "how to hear God's voice" from Greg Bachnik.
I learned to hear God’s voice online but didn’t have much experience when you (Mark Virkler) visited my church back in the late 90’s and taught your course on two-way journaling. It was absolutely amazing. In fact our church became on fire with our conversations with God. We were in the midst of the revival that Toronto spawned and they were such wonderful times.
But for whatever reason our pastor became upset with what was going on and spoke against our two-way conversations, saying something like, “If God is just saying good stuff, if there is no conviction against sin in your conversation, it is not God.” In other words, he was sin focused and expected God to be as well.
God it’s a sunny weekend afternoon, I’m tidying my garage. I’m having fun. But I think you’re saying to take a break? You want me to get my computer out and have a written conversation with you?
I do. Why do you think that is?
I think it’s because even though I’m enjoying myself -- somewhere in the back of my mind I’m feeling a bit anxious, worried, alone – maybe just a bit down?
Yes. Why are you feeling like that?
