Be Encouraged - Spiritual Intimacy Is Spreading and Bringing Revival

Mark Virkler's picture

In 1935, the book God Calling by Two Listeners was published in England. I discovered this book in the 1970’s and was astounded that it was full book of devotionals of Jesus speaking to these ladies in their devotional times. I had seen this in the Bible, but nowhere else. I hungered for this experience, and in 1979 I was led to take one year to see if I could learn to hear God’s voice like they did.

God provided the breakthrough I was seeking and from it came a book in 1980 which was initially called Communion With God. Later editions had titles such as Dialogue with God, How to Hear God’s Voice, 4 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice, plus a number of versions for children ages 3 and up.


If you do an internet search now for “How to hear God’s voice” or “Hearing God’s voice,” you will see many available links appear as spiritual intimacy is a topic of expanding interest in the world. Glory be to God for this spreading revival!

Let me share the exciting news of what God has done through our ministry as of February 1, 2021. What I thought was my own inability in hearing God’s voice has turned out to be a topic of universal interest. God has fanned the flames of our “how to” approach to hearing His voice, which is to use four simple keys: quiet yourself down, fix your eyes on Jesus, recognize His voice as spontaneous thoughts and journal out these flowing thoughts.

So here is a brief overview of what God has brought forth from one lone person's struggle in learning how to hear His voice. Our Communion With God Ministries website currently reveals the following:

  1. The 4 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice is available for free downloading in 54 languages
  2. 50 people have included the 4 keys in books they have written
  3. After learning the 4 keys, most people teach them to others. Lorraine O'Neal has taught more than 1000 people these 4 keys. A couple of ladies have sent the 4 Keys book to all 400 Catholic bishops in the U.S.
  4. The CWG Facebook page has 37,000 followers, and Christian Leadership University has another 28,000
  5. 700+ trusted endorsements through TrustPilot, with a 4.9 out of 5
  6. 1.5 million hits to just three of our online videos: 900,000 have viewed this online Sid Roth interview, and 136,000 at Catch the Fire in Toronto, plus 500,000 from another Sid Roth interview. We likely have more than 100 free online videos.
  7. Christian Leadership University has students in 129 nations, and Communion With God is everyone’s first course.

I’ve saved the best for last. We have hundreds of online testimonies of people hearing God’s voice and the power that a relationship with Him has in transforming their lives by bringing emotional healing, physical healing, creativity, intimacy and hearing God through their dreams. After all, the Garden of Eden was about a relationship with God as they strolled together in the cool of the day.

I could go on. Every month thousands sign up from over 100 nations to receive our free worldwide video events. We have many certified teachers teaching the 4 keys and many Bible schools around the world utilizing the communion with God course in their training packages. Dialogue with God has remained a top seller for Bridge Logos for 30 years. Hearing God has led to the birthing of 60 interactive prayer approaches and a revelation-based learning model which is utilized in our 50 books and 100 university courses.

Personal application

  • So despise not small beginnings! Honor the hunger and passion God has put in your heart. Follow it to its fulfillment and watch God do supernatural miracles as He fulfills the cry of your heart and your destiny.
  • Here are ways you can become involved in spreading revival by saturating the world with communion with God. There are still many who hunger for greater intimacy with God and don't know how to find it. You can show them the way.
  • Join a Spirit Life Circle where two-way journaling occurs weekly. These revelation-based encounters will keep the fire in your heart burning brightly.

We always give ALL THE GLORY TO GOD for what He does in and through our lives!

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 66 Pages

Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages | $15.99 retail list price

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?

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 eleven different methods for discovering truth including: 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. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this book.

How to Walk by the Spirit

How to Walk by the Spirit

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages | Previous name "Sense Your Spirit"

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.
