Mike Blackburn is a Certified CWG Facilitator. Raw God is the amazing journal of Mike’s intellectual journey to find God. And He found Him! Or should we say, he was found by God? This story can and will inspire others who are intellectually oriented and who are searching through the maze to see if there can be a living encounter with a living God.
Mike reworked the Leader's Paradigm, using his own vocabulary
In the book 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice, we lay out six different ways God can speak to us. we list them as follows:
- Illumined Scripture
- Anointed Reasoning
- Peace versus unrest
- Illumined counsel of others
- Illumined understanding of life’s experiences
- Dreams, visions and Prophecy
Mike renames the above six, creating the title of his book Raw God.
Receive the Word Go to Others
Anointed Thoughts Observe Life‘s Lessons
Witness of the Spirit Dreams, Visions, Prophecy
If you are an academic, you will appreciate Mike's search for God as described in Raw God!

Question: Dear Mark....I participated in your seminar recently and since then I have gone through the supplied workbook and the textbook, have recruited 3 spiritual advisers, and have been submitting much journaling material to them. I'm looking at taking a few not-for-credit courses with Christian Leadership University, and would like to do at least one with a Personal Spiritual Trainer. Here is some of my journaling. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Answer: Your journaling below is fantastic. We are thrilled to have you as a new student in Christian Leadership University. Keep up the great work! Mark Virkler
Question: I find I am always doubting what I receive in my journal. God speaks something, and reality does not appear to be lining up with it. What do I do?
Answer: When God speaks to us, through two-way journaling or any other way, He is offering us His potential blessing for our lives which we can receive if we embrace it, believe, speak and wait patiently for it, while following His instructions. It seems that the biggest battle we all fight is that these rhema words get attacked through the reasoning of our minds. The accuser comes through with the thought, "Did God really say...?" So when reason attacks faith, what am I to do? Which is to be allowed to rule in my heart? What does the Bible declare we receive through faith? What does the Bible declare we receive through reason? Let's see...
Faith is acting like it is so
When it doesn’t appear to be so
So that it will be so
Because it is so
(Mk. 11:22,23)
I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The thought kept going through my mind: “What if I died tonight? I’m not ready to go to heaven.” Since I could not shake the thought, I got up, went downstairs and waited for my parents to come home from their meeting. When they did, I announced that I wanted to get saved, and they took me straightway to the pastor’s home where he explained the plan of salvation and led me in the sinner’s prayer. I was 15 years old when I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart as my Lord and Savior.
