Since God is lovesick, we want to train you how to teach your friends to hear His voice

Mark Virkler's picture

The article below is excerpted from this month's CWG Newsletter. I was thrilled that the Lord allowed me to teach the 4 Keys every other weekend for several years. I know as I was on the flight out to the next seminar I thanked God for this opportunity, as I found as I repeated these principles, they were established more deeply in me.

Most Christians want to have a deeper relationship with God and hear His voice more clearly. Because we love Him, we want to talk with Him, know His heart, and just spend time with Him. But how often do we recognize that the same is true for Him? He is the Lover of our souls. He created us with this ability to love and this longing for His love.

Beginning in Genesis when He initiated daily times together with the man and woman He created, actually seeking them out even when they tried to avoid Him, all the way through to Revelation when the culmination of creation is the celebration of His marriage to His Bride the Church, the Scriptures make it clear that God the Father, Jesus our Savior, and Holy Spirit all love us and want to spend time with us. God is Love, and Love must be expressed in word and deed.

I recently posted some wonderful journaling by Debra Guthrie. If you haven’t read it yet, I encourage you to do so. Here is a small portion of what Debra heard from Jesus one day:

“I am lovesick. I am lovesick for my Bride…I yearn for her—her company, affection, companionship…I long for her every minute. I look for her every hour. I count the days that we are apart.”

“Tell her I am waiting for her, watching for her, eagerly anticipating the return of her absent attentions.”

“My Bride…my beautiful Bride…Come back to me!”

“You will tell her, won’t you? Tell her I am lovesick.”

If you have experienced two-way journaling for very long, you have probably heard similar expressions of God’s longing for His Church in general and for you specifically. I have found that actually hearing God’s words of love through journaling is the most effective way to persuade our hearts of His love for us. We may have had a theology that God loves us but that doesn’t become revelation until we experience His words of love in our own hearts.

Jesus wants us to not only enjoy our own times with Him but to spread the good news that He loves all His children and wants to spend time with them, as well. Have you told anyone how much God wants to have conversations with them? Are you prepared to lead others into the special relationship you have with the Lord? Can you teach others how to hear His voice?

This month marks the 10th anniversary of our ministry offering free video events, and it is only fitting that we return to where we started with the four keys to hearing God’s voice. This is our foundational message upon which everything else we teach is built! We encourage you to watch it if you have never seen it before. Your life will be changed.

Review, deepen, share this gift with others, promote revival

Watch it again, even if you think you know the four keys. Everyone who does so reports that the Lord shows them new things every time they watch.

Watch it with your family. What better way to strengthen your relationships with each other and with the Lord?

Gather a group and watch it with your friends. New believers and those who have walked with God for decades all are touched by this message of how much God wants to talk with them and how easy it is for them to hear His voice.

Jesus is waiting and longing. Will you tell them?

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...."?
