Have you ever been defeated by negative emotions such as anger, fear, guilt, inferiority, condemnation or depression?

Have you ever tried to fight them off unsuccessfully?

Is there a way that Jesus can speak a word of life into the depths of your emotional despair and bring healing on a deep level?

Is there a form of Christian counseling that begins and ends with the movement of Christ within ones heart, rather than simply with the words and mental reasoning of man?

Yes, there is! It is built on mans ability to commune with God and to receive a freshly spoken word from the Holy Spirit within his heart. These materials will show you the way to emotional wholeness through personal interaction with Almighty God within your spirit, as it is recorded in your journal.

This month we want to offer you a package of materials by Mark Virkler on how to be Counseled by God. Mark wants to share with you how the Lord truly can be your Wonderful Counselor and bring deep healing and wholeness to your heart.

A Destination of Intimacy Journaling from Pastor Terry
Lord, identify the season I am in, that I may work in cooperation with You.

Hey Terry, it is so good to talk to you again. You miss our time together, dont you?

Oh yeah, more than I realized. I cant go that long without this kind of private time with You...help me to better prioritize and find other ways to accomplish this when Im away.

(In my mind, the Lord has shown me that we are on a boat, traveling, the wind blowing on my face its chilly and the air is brisk, and I am holding on because we seem to be traveling very fast.)

Lord, where are we going?

To your destiny, Terry. To where Ive called you. To a place in Me that you have asked.

But why so fastand why is it so cold?

Because we have been traveling this way for a while, you just have not noticed it before. And when you travel fast the air seems chilled and coldand it is because the things around you are not attached, or connectedso there is no comfort and satisfaction from the temporal things that once fulfilled you.

You are on a journey to Me. To a place of anointing...and a place of power...and a place of structure and a place where my Spirit flows in untold purity and might. Stay with meHold on, and trust that I will get you there. You dont need to know all thingsjust know that I, Your Father, have you in My arms safe and secure and I will get you to that place.

Hold onand trust Terry. Hold on and trust. For I have planned some wonderful things for the son I love and the son who loves Me. Press in as you have been doing... For the journey is not about a destination of ministry, but a destination of character, and a destination of purity and intimacy with Me. And when these converge there will be anointing and power from what you say and do, and there will be significant resultsTrust Me, TerryI will get you there

But Lord, the waters seem choppy and rough and difficult to travel.

Terry, are you more concerned with the waters or with My ability to get you to the desired destination? There is nothing I cant do. And choppy waters is nothing for Mehold on Ive navigated this many timesand I know exactly where to go to avoid the rocks and dangersStay in the boat for now We will reach land soon.

Yes, Lord, I can see itI see landand the sun is shining therebut not here...I dont get it.

Where I am taking you, the sun will shine and the joy will flood your life...and there will be peace and tranquility and you will bask in My glory and enjoy your days in the land. Hold on, Terry

Okay, Lordbut when?

Questions, and more concerns? Terry, just hold onit is cominglook, people everywhere waiting for you to arrivewaiting for what you haveyou see, they will see you, but it will be Me that they receive, because you have learned how to walk in Me, and to let Me be seen and not you. See the crowdssee the people, hungry, and readyand yes, many ready for truth, and ready to walk in obedience and you will see the throngs moving with you, and believing with you for all that I have said you would do.

You see I have placed in them a desire for what I have called you to produceand they are ones with hearts ready to receive. Trust Me to produce the workits My church anyway, Terry, not yoursso trust Me to bring in those I have prepared in their hearts for what Im going to do. Hang on, Terry




Hearing Gods Voice Sets Prisoners Free! Billy B.
Mark, I would like to share with you how
Dialogue with God has been an important instrument of healing in many inmates lives in the Bible study conducted in prison. Here is an example: A man in his early forties was in prison because of a sexual encounter with a teenager. He was raised in a gang area of Miami. His first sexual encounter was when he was ten years old.

During our individual counseling session he thought his sexual encounters had been a good thing. He had always blamed his mother for messing up his life. I said, Lets ask God what He thinks. (The man had read Dialogue with God and had put it into practice.)

As I prayed in tongues under my breath, he had a conversation for 10 minutes with God and was speaking out loud what God was saying to him. The summary of his conversation with God was that he realized his sexual encounters were bad and that they had messed up his entire life and all relationships with women.

He forgave his mother. We prayed and all that trash came out of him. It was loosened because evil no longer had any legal right in him because he had heard the truth from Jesus. He said he had never felt so high and free in his life. A weight had been removed from his life.

 

Four Keys to Hearing God's Voice





Abundance for Every Good Deed A Testimony about Giving
My husband and I have been incredibly blessed by knowing how to hear Gods voice and our lives have been forever impacted by the teachings and ministry of Communion with God. We had talked on and off about sowing financially into their outreach and finally one evening decided for sure that we were going to give and also the specific amount we felt the Lord telling us.

The very next day my husband arrived at work to find a manila envelope on his desk. Inside was a congratulatory note from the President of his company, along with a bonus check.

Unbeknownst to us there was actually a reward program going on (that only about 20% of the workers qualified for, in fact) and my husband was one of the employees recognized for his hard work and fabulousness. (my words, not quite his employers!)

Anyway, do you want to guess how much that bonus check was for? Youre right! The EXACT amount we had committed to giving to CWG Ministries the night before. I guess my Grandpa was right all along you never can beat God giving!

 

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed

Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God. (Second Corinthians 9:8-11, emphasis added)

 


If youve been blessed by hearing Gods voice and your life has been touched through Communion with God Ministries we want to invite you to partner with us as we reach out to others with the message of intimacy with Jesus. Ask the Lord what He would have you give as the testimony above reminds us you never know what blessings He has in store for you!

A Poem from the Lord through Josephine Kaitbenski
The more you read someone else's journaling, the more you will see that Im available to all wherever they are.

The main thing is to come
whether youre happy or sad
to unload your burdens or
excitement youve had

Just stick to your plan,
keep your appointment,
dont let a day pass
with some disappointment

Bring all to Me,
set yourself free
whenever youre feeling
depressed or with glee

Learn to share everything
Thats what lovers are for
the cares of the world
leave them right at My door

Youll find your hearts lifted
from whatever you thought
by bringing to Me
your hearts greatest drought




Humor Heals Hymn #365
A minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis he said, If I had all the beer in the world, Id take it and pour it into the river.

With even greater emphasis he said, And if I had all the wine in the world, Id take it and pour it into the river.

And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, And if I had all the whiskey in the world, Id take it and pour it into the river.

Sermon complete, he sat down.

The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, For our closing song let us sing Hymn #365, Shall We Gather at the River.
