When a person has wandered away from the Lord, and been enticed by false lovers, you can pray a hedge of thorns be placed before them to block them on their way. The Lord will hear and answer this prayer, and put barriers in their way so they cannot continue on their path toward evil. They will come to their senses and return to God and righteousness. This is exactly what happened with Gomer, Hosea’s wife.
When a crisis suddenly appears, all you may have the time or presence of mind to say is “Jesus” or “Jesus, help!”
As any loving Father who hears the cry of panic from their child, the Lord will hear and come instantly to your aid.
Plan on it. Know it. Use this prayer when needed. Yes, there are other more expansive prayers, but never forget that "Jesus, help!" works.
Your wife screams, “You never say you love me.” You answer, “That’s not true. I told you I loved you in our marriage vow and if it ever changes, I’ll let you know.”
OK, in this example both parties are getting it wrong. For the wife, it would have been better if she could have said, “I feel starved for love and affection. Can you please show you love me by …?”
Press into Me, my child. Do you not know that there is freedom in the bosom of heaven? I have plans for you. You strive for the accolades of the world, the treasures of this earth, yet they are of no eternal value. I know what you have need of. You seek to find your happiness and significance in the monetary system of this world. When, my child, will you see that you hold far greater treasure within your heart?

Questions: How do I write a message on my heart? What is the language of MY heart? How do I engage in “heart prayers” rather than prayers from my head? People tell me all the time that they have been in counseling for months or years to process their hurts and are still in pain! Or they have been praying for a miracle of healing, and it is still delayed. As I ask them what they have done, and listen to their story, I am able to help them see: They have NOT been using the language of the heart to heal their hearts. They have been using the language of their minds, analytical reason, and that is why they are still stuck!
(Journaling from Mark Virkler)
Well, Mark, that is a question many have asked, including you. When you first began journaling, you asked, “How can I trust a flow that comes from an evil and desperately wicked heart?” Because that is what you believed you had based on your understanding of Jeremiah 17:9.
Question: I am reading Mark Virkler’s book, 4 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice, and taking his course on hearing from God and have already done 2-way journaling. I don't, however, have a single person to show my journals to and to verify the messages. This is not something I have ever really heard done before. Does Dr. Virkler have a suggestion for how to advise me on this? These Skilled Journalers Are Willing to Confirm Your Journaling
