God Speaks at Tim Horton's - While Standing in Line!

Mark Virkler's picture

Dennis Atwater, a Christian Leadership University student, shares the following: Today while driving to work through the forest near where I live I wanted to step out and try to "see" as I have been learning in the course 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice.

First I began praying in the spirit, I had a CD by Julie True playing quietly. Then I began to piece together a picture and wanted to see details and eventually build into a larger vision. First I pictured myself walking by a sea shore. Then I "saw" minute details such as smooth stones and some fragments of sea weed on the ground and looked to see what I had on for shoes.

As I was doing this I noticed through the fog a small fire and Jesus called quietly to me. He was sitting on a log by the fire. His back was to me and I could see His hair. It was somewhat wavy, black and shiny. I sat on the log next to Him and He spoke to me about a couple of things. I asked if I could add some wood to the fire as there was a slight chill in the air. He basically gave me two thoughts that I wanted to write as soon as I got to work and He will expand more upon these over time. They follow.

Journaling Dennis Received from the Lord

Conditioning - Learn to develop the pictures as you have started. Most of the pictures you have are natural and that is to be expected. The images of violence and lust you must discard immediately and they will fade quickly if you will not engage with them.

The pictures you are looking into now are developed the same as any pictures you use in your imagination. You have to be trained to see. The enemy and the world knows that to capture your imagination you have to first be "conditioned". This conditioning takes place over your entire life.  As you progress in these exercises you also will become conditioned to "seeing " the things of the Kingdom. This also is a lifestyle and lifetime experience if you so desire. More on this later.

Breakthrough - You have watched and listened to ministers and prayers being sent up that the people are crying out for Me to "rend the heavens" and "breakthrough" into the atmosphere of the place they are gathered or on behalf of those they care about. These prayers are sincere and I love them for their desire to have Me be present with them.

But I am not resisting their prayers. I am not being held back by their lack of devotion or other entities. I never will violate anyone's free will and therefore will never "beak through" where I am not invited. The reality is that all you have to do to be with Me is of your own free will come to Me and fellowship with Me and the "breakthrough" has already occurred. For where 2 or 3 are gathered in My name I am with you. When you gather simply believe I am there and be still and know that I am God. I will lead you into what I desire and then you will experience My desires for that place and time.


I wrote this "poem" while waiting in line at Tim Horton's for coffee when I got into town. I am beginning to listen and be in His presence even as I go about my normal daily activities:

The

Father wills the

Word breathes out the

Spirit shines forth the

Love of God is shed abroad and the

Heart of man is made alive forevermore.


I have never desired to or attempted to write "poetically." In fact I was going to write this as a sentence and the Lord showed me write it out with the structure as it is here. Yeah, I learned that, even in line waiting for coffee, rather than grouse about the wait use each "free" moment to practice the 4 Keys. He will speak if I create the frame of mind and atmosphere to hear Him.

Later in the day I jokingly thought if I should have asked Jesus to buy, and immediately this thought came, "When Peter asked for tax money I told him to go fishing!" I laughed out loud.

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.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a way for my body to tell me exactly what it needs and desires, without having to take expensive or invasive tests? Wouldn't it be amazing if I could perform these tests as often as I wanted, right in my own home (or anywhere I wanted), with no costly instruments necessary?

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.
