“Seeing God in All” by Cathy Kawar

Below is the final journaling exercise in the Counseled By God training module, which Cathy was completing as a student in CLU School of the Spirit.


Dear Lord, what do You want to say to me about the principles of this teaching session? How can I see You more clearly everywhere I look? Where do You want to show Yourself to me right now?”

Vision: I am wearing a white robe, and I am standing in a room surround by black walls. I see Jesus in a white robe standing in front of me, but He is gigantic and I see myself approaching Him in a normal size, then as I walk closer, I begin to decrease in size. In my shrunken state, I look up to the Lord who is before me. I lift up a teddy bear and give it to Him. I take Jesus’ hand and we start walking out of the room. He twirls me around while walking. Then I see stairs made of gold descending and we start walking downward. I reach the end of the stairs and a curtain opens up and someone dressed as a king, in gold and purple, comes behind the curtain and puts out his hand showing me gold coins. Then as I walk, and Jesus is behind me, the room is still black or dark in theme, I see a gold crown floating. Somehow the gold crown appears towards me and as I look closely it is gold but in the shape of a crown of thorns. I see Jesus’s hands place the crown on my head from behind.

Jesus: Cathy, I know the journey is long and uncertain at times. You feel so small with everything and you are humbled in My presence. You trust Me in leading you, even when the way is uncertain or unsettling. I know you keep your eyes fixed on Me; your guiding light. Don’t become overwhelmed or troubled with what may come your way. Rest assured that I am with you through it all. I am with you to guide you, speak to you, counsel you, watch over you. There are times you see Me clearly, and times where circumstances or negative thoughts or even distractions from around cause you to miss My presence that is with you. But I love how you are aware, that if My presence isn’t there, you become aware and try to re-adjust your eyes and focus on Me. The crown of eternal life is yours. For I know you will run the race in victory. A crown of gold, of the highest form, but it is also a crown of thorns. There is suffering, My child. You have gone through suffering; you are still healing from it. And perhaps things might come along the way. But I don’t want your heart to be troubled. I want you to receive My peace and joy in the midst of it all. I want you to be so dependent and confident in Me, that no matter what happens, you are firmly rooted in My love, in My nature. I will not harm you. I will not abandon you. I will bring victory in areas that you need. I am the Alpha and Omega in your life. In the end, you will receive the victory. Don’t lose your focus of Me. Don’t let anything weigh you down. I want you to become more sensitive of My presence that I am around always, even in the mundane, even in the pain, even in the valley or mountain tops. For I am your God and I am loving and faithful to our covenant. Take heart, continue to seek Me at all times. I am your source of life. It will all be worth it in the end. Surrender to Me. I love you, My child.

Cathy: Hallelujah, amen Lord. Yes, I receive Your words of comfort and encouragement. I fix my eyes on You, the maker of heaven and earth. I surrender all to You, trusting in Your loving nature. Open my eyes so that I might see You clearly and behold Your mighty works in my life and all around me. I love You, Lord.

Healthier Today Than Yesterday eBook

The truths I learned then improved my health and many others have written to tell me that it improved the quality of their health, as well.

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation ebook

Unlocking fresh revelation daily - by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know? eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used various methods for discovering truth such as: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so.

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.

Imagine That eBook

Imagine That eBook

by Rev. Jimmy D. Smith | 85 Pages

Beginning sometime around my 72nd year, my imagination really started to wake up again.  I was reading Dialogue with God, by Mark and Patti Virkler, when wheels began to turn.  In the weeks that followed I decided that this was a “do” book, not just a “read to learn” book. I began to do what the book suggested. Somewhere along the line I felt that the Lord gave me permission to experience the freedom of using my imagination to worship Him, to talk to Him, and more importantly to hear from Him.
