How do you hear God's voice? Have you heard His still small voice speaking to your heart? What does He want you to see? 

... God says, "I'm right here with you, and I love you. I've always loved you. You are so very special and precious to Me. I have a plan for your life, for today. Would you like to walk in it?"

Patty's life has changed since she learned how to hear God's voice, speaking in her inner self through His Spirit. She is continually amazed at the things He reveals to her. As she is filled with God's love she finds she has more to give to others.

Sweetness and Light includes inspirational words and visions from Patty's devotional journals. Join her as she walks with Jesus by the river, rides with Him into the battle, and dances with Him in the waterfall. You may hear Him speak to your heart as well. 

"I pray that this devotional journal will deeply touch your heart and challenge you to hear from God for yourself."

Getting to Know Patty Schmid

Just thought I should add a little about myself and our ministry, and what a blessing your influence has been here in Mexico. Mark, your book, "4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice" was so much help for me. Thanks so much! God bless you and everyone who helps to get the word out about closer relationship with God.

John and I are from St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. We are missionaries with World Indigenous Missions here in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. We both journal daily and are teaching people here in Mexico how to hear God's voice. We are directors and trainers for International Association of Healing Rooms both here and back in Minnesota, where we spend our summers. Last month I was teaching "How to Hear God's Voice" to a Healing Rooms team in Mexico city and was so pleased to discover that your website has free books in Spanish! Thank you so much, it is such a blessing to the people here. I am now teaching a training course called "Healing Rooms Kids" by Barbie Hunt, and she has a lesson on Hearing God's Voice in the training, so the children are also learning how to hear from God and journal or draw pictures. She does also give you credit in that chapter. Every week the children practice their listening skills. It's exciting. We will soon have teams of kids who can pray for people for healing in the Healing Rooms, using their listening skills to help heal people.

There is no greater thrill than to have been instrumental in helping people hear the voice of God, and then seeing them create wonderful gifts such as this book, Sweetness and Light, and bless the world!

Your heart will be warmed and healed as you read these wonderful devotionals straight from the heart of God. He is alive. He is speaking. His words are life, and as you read these devotionals, saturated with powerful pictures, you will experience the flow of His life pulsating through your being. 

This is an awesome gift not only to yourself but to those friends of yours who need a special touch from God. Read the first few devotionals above, and experience for yourself, one more time, the power of Jesus' words.

Take It to the Next Level

To ensure that this message transforms your life, we offer you four options. Any of these choices will assist you in internalizing this teaching, helping you to be a doer of the word and not a hearer only (James 1:22) and allowing you to produce a bountiful harvest in your life.

Opportunity 1 – Host a home or church group

This home group in Slovakia shows the excitement of learning to hear God's voice together!

We learn more quickly if we are surrounded by others who are seeking to master the same skill. Pray and ask God who you know who might want to grow in this truth also and open your home to them for 10-12 weekly sessions (or host a small group in your church). We provide several resources to help you present this powerfully and effectively in a group setting, including DVDs and application activities. Experience the joy of cultivating skills together with a group of friends! Discover how to create and post your group…

Opportunity 2 – Hire a Personal Spiritual Trainer to coach you

Coaching or discipling is the method Jesus used to train the twelve disciples.

When you team up with someone ahead of you in an area to mentor you, and you share your questions and steps of growth with them, receiving their counsel in return, you ascend more quickly into mastery in that area. We have trained coaches who have mastered this topic who will commit to working with you for a 90-day period.
