| Wisdom shouts in the street, |
| |
She lifts her voice in the square; |
| At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; |
| |
At the entrance of the gates in the
city she utters her sayings… |
| …Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; |
| |
I will make my words known to you.
(Proverbs 1:20-23 NASB) |
We believe God is using Dr. Mark Virkler to reach the body of
Christ and the world with the ability to respond to God’s cries
for the attention of His people. Thus far,
150,000 copies have been sold
of the three key titles which teach people how to listen to Him: How
to Hear God’s Voice, Communion With God and Dialogue
with God. Learning to hear God opens the door to so many
breakthroughs which flow directly from God, Who wishes to bless His
people and to glorify His name.
As we learn to listen to God, we receive intimate communications
from the Wonderful Counselor, Who is able to heal the wounds in our
hearts as he did for Joy Hong of New York, whose testimony is
featured in this newsletter. Thank you for helping to spread the
word! We are off to a great start!

eLearning
Is Now on Your Desktop
– Jerry Wright
In the year 1440 Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press,
thus paving the way for the Holy Bible to become the best-selling
book of all time. Since then, God has continuously revealed
innovations in communications technology to the world in order to
reach the lost and strengthen His body on the earth.
Communion With God Ministries has recently begun an initiative to
bring Revelation-Based LearningSM
to the world via webinars (seminars over the web) so that anyone
with an internet connection can learn How to Hear God’s Voice from
any location.
The webinars will allow students to interact live with Dr. Mark
Virkler over the internet as they listen to his message. Students
will be able to type out their questions or share excerpts from
their journaling in the “Chat box” and receive real-time
responses during the session.
Dr. Virkler will turn over the microphone to certain students so
that they may ask questions or share in a manner that is audible to
all attendees. The new technology also incorporates the ability to
poll the audience during the session and display answers to
questions that are relevant to the course content. The learning
experience is actually more engaging than a seminar at church!
Revelation-Based LearningSM over
the web is very convenient, interactive and effective. Most
importantly, Webinars are here and ready
now! Attend them on your own, with your family or
Bible study group.
We have just created a short demonstration webinar (click
here to watch—approx. 14 min.) The first full seminar (10 full
hours) of How to Hear God’s Voice will run in four sessions of 2
½ hours each on
Tuesday & Thursday evenings from 7:00 PM –
9:30 PM EST on September 14th, 16th, 21st
and 23rd.
Our introductory registration fee of $59
is available to the first 100 registrants.
Please tell your friends to watch the webinar demo and sign up now!
Communion With God Ministries is excited to offer life-changing
education over the internet!
A
Proven Approach for Deliverance –
Mark Virkler
Joy Hong (see article below) called our offices after watching my TV
interview with Sid Roth on Prayers That Heal the Heart and she
wanted prayer for healing. Since she is Korean and I was doing two
Korean Wagner Schools over the next two months, she agreed to fly
from New York City to Chicago to attend them.
The first was on “How
to Hear God’s Voice,” followed a month later by “Prayers
That Heal the Heart.” Notice from her testimony below how
important it was for her to be able to hear God’s voice and see
vision, and how this prepared her for successful deliverance after
trying unsuccessfully to receive inner healing and deliverance for
10 years! It is the bringing in of God’s light
that drives out demonic darkness.
Also, notice that deliverance worked when the anchors that the
demons were attached to were first repented of and removed! Then the
demons were easily cast out. I encourage you to walk people through
this process. It works! People do get set free, even after a
lifetime of struggle, and it is generally a smooth and easy process.
Host the 12-week
series on How to Hear God’s Voice, followed by the 12-week
series Prayers
that Heal the Heart. It is a small investment to take only 6
months to transform one’s life through establishing spiritual
intimacy and then driving out demonic darkness.
And, of course, you keep the door shut to further intrusion by
satan by doing a 1-3 month Bible meditation on the topic that is on
the opposite side of the issue you just received deliverance from.
For example, if you are delivered from fear, doubt and unbelief,
then you do a Bible meditation on faith, trust and belief. This
process is taught in the Prayers That Heal the Heart
series.
When I experienced deliverance prayer ministry in 2000, I was
delivered of several clusters of demons so I did a Bible
meditation in several areas. I spent a total of two
to three months ensuring all doors were closed so the
demons could not return (Lk. 11:24-26). I have shared the Bible
meditations I did in the appendices of our book Prayers
That Heal the Heart. I also continued to do two-way
journaling, thus continuously bringing in God’s light and
truth. In addition, I repent daily of my sins and through these
means I have been able to remain free of demons over the last 10
years!
So I can vouch from my life’s experience and that of many
others, that these steps toward freedom can and do work!
Nine months for freedom is not too high a price to pay (that is, 3
months for How to Hear God’s Voice, 3 months for Prayers
That Heal the Heart and 3 months for an intensive Bible
meditation). Please use these steps yourself and teach them to
others. Let’s get people free in Christ Jesus and show them how to
remain free! May our lives of wholeness bring glory to
Almighty God!

“If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the
kingdom of God has come upon you.” (Matt. 12:28)
“And they were casting out many demons and were
anointing with oil many sick people and healing them.”
(Mk. 6:13)
“These signs will accompany those who have believed:
in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new
tongues.” (Mk. 16:17)

My
Journey to Freedom –
Dr. Joy Hong, New York City
I was exposed to “inner healing” during the year 2000 when I
attended an inner healing seminar. Since then I had attended many
seminars on deliverance from evil spirits. But I found the seminars
didn’t help me at all. I had been tormented by my inner wound
continually. I also went to California retreat center that was the
place mainly famous for the deliverance work. But it didn’t help
me either. The pastor there tried to cast out evil spirits from me
but it didn’t work.
So I gave up my attempt to drive demons out. Instead I began to
meditate on the Word of God; the Love of God. Daily in the morning,
I would meditate on the Word memorizing verses about Love, Joy and
Peace. I soaked deeply in His Love and Word. This caused my inner
pain to diminish somewhat and I felt a gradual healing. It was a
long journey to freedom and I still had not arrived.
Then in May this year, while on the internet, I discovered Mark
Virkler’s teachings on “How to Hear God’s Voice” and “Prayers
That Heal the Heart”. I have had a hard time learning to hear God’s
voice. In the past I had thought I heard God’s voice but I then
discovered that it was not God’s voice. So I was passionate to
learn to hear God’s voice more clearly.
I attended an intensive 3-day teaching by Mark Virkler on how to
hear God’s voice. We covered the four keys of stillness, vision,
spontaneity and journaling. After I attended this conference, I
found I was able to see Jesus by looking for vision and I could hear
His voice. My spiritual eyes and ears were opened by the grace of
God and the power of the Holy Spirit. For the next one month, I did
daily journaling which prepared me for the follow-up conference on
“Prayers That Heal the Heart.”
As I journaled I found how deep and beautiful the Love of Jesus
is. I saw a vision of Jesus playing with me. He embraced me in His
arms. In my vision I was about 5 years old and I asked Him to play
with me and He did. It was so vivid and healing.
I saw a vision of Him as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and I
rode on His back. As we journeyed down the street, I noticed that
all the other spiritual beings were trembling. I was extremely
strengthened through this experience of His strong presence.
His voice became clearer as I continued to journal. Sometimes, in
my vision, Jesus became as a mother hen who gathered her chicks
under her wings. And under His wings I enjoyed God’s love,
protection and rest. Sometimes He became an eagle which I rode as He
took me into 3rd heaven.
Before taking the seminar on “How to Hear God’s Voice” my
image of Jesus was that of an authoritative being with frozen
postures and no smile. But through two-way journaling and vision, I
found Jesus was full of joy, funny, playful, humorous and one who
willingly played with me. As I played with Him often I became
transformed into a joyful being.
Then July 19, 2010, the conference “Prayers that Heal the Heart”
started. I was taught to apply 7 specific prayers and as I prayed
through each prayer I began to feel lighter in my chest and in my
spirit. As I finished repenting of my negative expectations and
inner vows I felt so much lighter and better.
Then I invited Jesus to come into the traumatic pictures in my
mind of things that had happened in my past. I was able to see these
negative pictures in a new light as I saw Jesus there, moving and
doing things. Finally I was able to interpret these events
positively. I felt relieved and free from the negative power of
these past memories.
After I worked through all 6 steps that are part of the process
of dismantling evil spirits’ homes, I sat down with my group (4
people including me) in my hotel room. We began to pray for each
other to cast out the evil spirits by following the instructions
given to us. We all experienced wonderful freedom. My self-hate and
fear that had been tormenting me finally left.
Through this experience my faith has been strengthened. I found I
can cast out evil spirits in the name of Jesus. It works! I realized
that I needed the training “how to hear God’s voice” first in
order to go through the process of healing of my heart. I needed to
see Jesus alive and hear His voice in order to be healed.
Victory comes through His work and power, not any human’s
ability or power. Previously I failed because my eyes and ears were
closed and I did not know I needed to dismantle the demon’s house
before trying to cast it out. Now I am set free. Glory to God! Thank
You, Lord. Also I am really thankful for the teaching of Mark
Virkler who has well organized these principles to reach the
freedom. We are called to be free.

Revelation-Based
LearningSM Revealed!
– Jerry Wright
We have all been taught from a young age to adopt a sub-optimal
approach to learning and that limited methodology called “studying”
has held us back from achieving our potential in the subjects we
wish to master. Communion With God Ministries offers
Revelation-Based LearningSM, which
is the ability to incorporate the inspiration of the Holy Spirit
into every educational experience.
By meditating on the information presented to us, muttering the
words and listening to God’s voice, we allow Him to reveal the
truths in a more meaningful way and we further open ourselves to
levels of insight that transcend the original message. In short, we
access the mind of Christ, the Creator of all who knows all things
because all things are of Him and by Him.
You may take advantage of materials incorporating this approach
from Communion With God
Ministries, Christian
Leadership University and through independent
Bible Training Centers who use our Revelation-Based LearningSM
curriculum. Watch for a listing of these training centers once our
new website is updated.
