Freedom of speech for God -- and all those God-focused activities that prevent you from hearing me.

God?


With your permission Mark I’d like to go over old ground. I want to discuss things we’ve already discussed.

Go for it God. You’ve got the floor.

Thanks. Do you have any idea how rare that is? For me to be given total freedom of speech? You Christians seldom let me talk about what I want.

You all tell me how I must behave, you demand that I be cross and that I must focus on certain things. Instead of allowing me to speak when I want, about what I want you have times that I’m free to speak, and subjects that I’m free to speak about. But outside that you have me under tight control.

Contrary to what you all think about me I am ok with that. I am happy that we talk about what you want to talk about. Love is like that. It would like to talk about other things, but it puts its own desires on hold for the one it loves. I love you.

Ok. Wow. That’s pretty big God. I’m not sure what to say. You said you want to cover old ground?

I do. I want to talk about things that I’ve said to you before. You need to hear them again. Others do too.

What?

That I’m not a harsh God.  That I don’t judge you often. That I’m not busy making up rules for you to follow. And neither am I focused constantly on the rules you think are in the book. So many of the rules you think are in the book – you didn’t actually get from its pages – instead you heard someone else preach them to you. You never took the time to read the passage yourself or ask ME what I meant by it, instead you happily accepted what you were taught. It takes courage to ignore commonly held ideas. Courage that is never common in any group of people.

So what are you saying? That the bible isn’t accurate??

Not at all. But I am saying that your knowledge of it is far from accurate - and that is true of the majority of you Christians today. The reason is simple. By far the greatest amount of what you all ‘know’ of the bible is what you have been taught by someone else. And those who taught you were in turn taught by others before them.

It’s time that men, women and children heard the things of God from the mouth of God.

But he answered and said, “It is written: 'A man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” MATT 4:4 ARAMAIC BBLE

Whether it’s something from the bible or an event in your life. I want you to get what I am saying straight from me. Not from others, but from me. It’s far easier to listen to a sermon, watch a Christian TV programme, read a book, or do an established bible study. Whatever happened to listening direct to me?

Is that a rhetorical question God, or do you want it answered?

I’ll answer it myself and the answer is simple. The enemy is absolutely committed to training you all in a whole myriad of activities that are focused on me, and yet those same activities prevent you from listening to me direct.

I want you to think about that Mark. You and anyone else who wants to know more. If you have the courage – think hard about it. Don’t leap to defend all those God-focused activities that prevent you from hearing me - instead think hard about what I’ve said. And then ask me what I’d like you to do about it, in your own life. Truth takes hold first in your own life.

Mark, these conversation you have with God are amazing. It seems to me that those conversation seems too good to be true. Is this really possible? how do I start? I haven't learned how to recognize God's voice like you do. This kind of relationship with God is just not mentioned in the average church. It seems like a struggle to hear God voice. I hear about it, but how do I recognize His voice for myself??

My book The Freedom Diaries explains, in detail, how to have your own conversation with God. If you'd like to buy the book you can do so on this website. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS.
In essence, you write your question to God, and then you start writing and trust him to provide the words. Doubt will attack immediately and tell you it's not God. Keep writing. When you have finished writing his answer. Write the next obvious question - was that you God? And then write the words he gives you. It takes practise. Lots of it! Buy the book on this site and you'll learn more detail.  Hope this helps. Mark.

Have you ever wished you could just sit down and have a long talk with the Lord? Wouldn't it be wonderful to move beyond having a theology that states that God loves you to actually hearing Him whisper words of love into your heart? When you're worried or confused, wouldn't you love to see the situation from His perspective and hear how He wants you to respond? When things don't seem to be going your way and your prayers aren't answered the way you had hoped, wouldn't it be great to hear Him tell you where He is in the midst of it, and what He is working out in your life?

Twelve Weeks to Spiritual Mastery - Group Coaching

A group coaching experience with Mark Virkler

Because I could not find a Spirit-anointed teacher/coach, I spent ten extremely frustrating years seeking to hear God’s voice!!! Suggestions offered did not help me, things like: “You just know that you know. It is a still small voice. He speaks from your heart.” No one could give me the answer I needed which was: Hearing God’s voice is as simple as quieting yourself down, fixing your eyes on Jesus, recognizing His voice as spontaneous, flowing thoughts and writing down His flow as it is coming. Test what you have written after the flow is done, NOT while it is occurring.

Counseled by God

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 146 Pages

Have you ever been defeated by negative emotions such as anger, fear, guilt, inferiority, condemnation or depression? Have you tried to fight them off unsuccessfully? Is there an answer that is deeper than simply trying to mentally reason yourself out of these emotions? 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 your heart, rather than simply with the words of man?
