God's View Concerning the Value of Spiritual Advisors

Mark Virkler's picture

The following journaling was done by Sara Cornett as she worked her way through our training on 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice. We emphasize that there is safety in a multitude of counselors (Proverbs 11:14), and that every rhema is to be confirmed by two or three others (2 Corinthians 13:1). This keeps one from getting lost in their own subjectivity, while providing encouragement and faith to continue on, as our spiritual advisors affirm to us that our journaling did indeed come from God.


What is Your view of spiritual counselors?

There is one body, one church. In order to function, you need each other.

Ok, anything else?

These are holy connections – not to be taken for granted. Cherish them & pray for them and for the person/counselor I have provided. Honor them as is fitting. I am the Cornerstone, head of the Church, and I give the Church for the Church as a gift.

Thank You Jesus for being Our Head, Our Cornerstone, for giving us back to each other for our good, and our benefit and growth. Thank You for Your High standards, for Your calling to love and honor one another. Since You are the Wonderful Counselor, what counsel would You like to give to me today? Let me guess… Remain in You?

Yes, hold fast to Me. I am Your life. Your life is in Me now. You no longer belong to the kingdom of darkness. As such, your life power comes from Me, Your new Ruler, King, Giver of Life, Power. Come to Me often, as often as possible.

But Jesus, Your Word says that when we take the “drink” You give us, we will no longer thirst, so why does it feel as though we are still thirsty, in fact, more thirsty & desperate than ever before. It’s much worse. That upsets me. It feels like a trick, false advertising.

Sara, I’m glad you are honest with me, but you need to trust Me more and believe that I am good. It’s foundational. If your default is to quickly doubt and question me, that will be difficult to build upon. I say this for your sake, so that you may grow up in your faith and have more stability. Decide and believe that I am who I say I am: Love, then lean in with those hard questions, but not as a skeptic, as a believer.

Ok, Lord, yes, it’s true. I admit I need to get over this childish, old way of thinking – thinking the worst of You. So what about the water & thirsting?

Sara, thirst will always be there. It’s about the journey, the experience, the how. In Me, you are guaranteed to always have access to good, safe, drinkable, satisfying water wherever you are. You no longer have to rely on yourself or others for this water. I become your supplier for life, and you can count on My provision. There will never be a shortage – a dry well, contamination, poisoning, blockade, etc.

What about those dry spells that believers experience? Surely there are still cases of contamination.

Sara, I do not lie. I do not deceive. I only speak truth – not to control or manipulate. I do not play hard to get or withdraw My love or water ... I always welcome you home with open arms and forgiveness as I did with the prodigal son. I will do the same with you. That is My covenant to you. The vows of love I promised and made to you, Sara, as your Lord and Savior.

Wow, Jesus, thank You. Thank You for loving me so beautifully and generously.

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? Are you ever just a little bit jealous of others who say with such confidence, "The Lord said...."?

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?
