The Truth About Fear I Am Not Alone

Mark Virkler's picture

I invite you to experience this biblical meditation as you quiet yourself before Scripture and the Holy Spirit, and allow God to reveal Himself to you. Let it bring the changes within you that God desires.


Truth: My Father Is Always With Me. He Will Never Leave Me

  • Repeat the above truth aloud. Close your eyes and rest a moment in this truth.
  • Meditate on the Scripture below, saying it to yourself softly over and over again until you can say it with your eyes closed. As you repeat the Scripture, allow yourself to see it with the eyes of your heart. What is the picture you see in your mind’s eye as you repeat the Scripture?

[Jesus said] “…surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 NIV).

Two-way Journaling Exercise

Tune to flow and with your eyes fixed on Jesus, record what He is speaking to you.

  • What does the Scripture reveal about the heart of God?
  • What is the Lord speaking to you personally as you see the truth of this Scripture? Put yourself in the picture of this Scripture in your mind.
  • From Healing the Wounded Heart: “When we run as far and hard as we can, we learn that the presence of God is already ahead of us and ready to pour out His mercy and grace.”
  • Take time to pray, declaring to God what you have seen today. "Lord, today You said to me..."

First, I asked Jesus to come into my heart and save me.

Forty-five years have passed since that time and in all of those years I was up then down, in tune and out of tune, but the Lord's promises stayed the same. I've learned that All of the Lord's Words are the Rock to build our house on.

If I'm true to Him and not faking it (Matthew 6), if I hunger for His righteousness and not my own(Matthew 5), if I give out what I've received, He will fill me up again.

Let His Word by your guide and trust Him alone, and keep your eyes on His promises. They never fail. We are surrounded by God's "chariots of fire".

Obviously meditating on Scripture some each day is critical. And then doing the two-way journaling that we teach in our material on "4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice.' These things should give you what you need.

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.
