When I began to do two-way journaling in 1979, the Lord gave me a poem for the first time ever in my life, as far as I can remember. He was awakening creativity and right brain flow. Well, below is a poem received yesterday by Linda Burton. She posted it on the School of the Spirit Chatroom for the Prayers that Heal the Heart course. As Jesus is restoring her heart and restoring her self image, poetry is springing forth which describes the healing process.

Thank You, Lord, for Your healing and for Your restoring creative flow within us all!

I vividly remember many years ago I met a person for the first time and they wanted to tell me their life’s story, so I listened for 90 minutes as they described to me, in great detail, every nasty, hurtful thing that had ever been done to them. We relived together every second of every story. Talk about depression overload. I would never let a person do that today, because it is far too damaging to their life.

The journaling which follows is from a student taking the course "Prayers That Heal the Heart" through Christian Leadership University.

(You can get the main ebook from this class here. The next testimony like this could be yours, or a friend you share it with.) 

Lord, I come now asking You to reveal any generational sins by which I am affected; any that have not already been taken to the cross and broken.  What would You show me, Lord?  What will You speak to Me?

Sunday nights at 10/9c, people who say they have visited the afterlife challenge everything we understand about death. If death is the great equalizer, how and why are some victims able to come back from death while others are not?

Amy Hayes shares the freedom she is finding by completing some of our Contributing Strands Worksheets, where you ask the Lord to provide the answers, and then tune to flow and write what HE is telling you! An edit enabled version of the Contributing Strands Worksheet is available here.

Your greatest problem, once resolved becomes your greatest ministry.
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those
who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

God brought Jesus Christ through the lineage of David and Bathsheba’s adultery (Matt. 1:6) God saved the nation of Egypt through the jealous actions of Joseph’s brothers (Gen. 50:20). God has used us to teach over one million people how to hear His voice after I was not able to identify it for the first 10 years of my Christian life. God is truly amazing, and will do amazing things through your life if you simply say "Yes, Lord." 

Flavien Williams, a graduate of Christian Leadership University having earned a Doctorate in Christian Leadership, received the following words from the Lord concerning how we are to effectively pray for the United States of America. I encourage you to join with me in decreeing this forth and fulfilling any responsibilities God assigns to you to ensure this happens. Together we will see America restored!

I want to highlight the personal experience of someone who is just beginning to step into this new lifestyle! Enjoy Linda’s journaling below as she meditates and journals about some key verses in the Naturally Supernatural course which she is completing. Note the difference between simply reading a few Scriptures as contrasted to letting the Lord speak directly into your heart concerning these verses. See how the Lord repeats key truths over and over in various ways, using specific pictures which are meaningful to the listener. (Note: Linda is originally from Indonesia so the language and symbols are unique to her.) This brings heart revelation and personal transformation. Now for some of Linda's journaling...

Donna Childress shares this vision (I met her at GLOBAL last week): I would like to take time to share a vision that I had while in Washington DC.  I recently moved to Mechanicsburg, PA from Myrtle Beach, SC.  I received an email from my friend Kathy in Myrtle Beach about one of our friend’s named Annette.  Annette received a word from God that she was to go to Washington DC and pray around the White House on April 1, 2014 and also pray around the Capital Building the next day.  She was also instructed to email a few friends so they could pass on the message that she was going and to meet her in Washington if anyone was interested.

They did not know how they were going to pay for their trip or where they were going to stay; they were depending on God to provide.  When I heard about it, I volunteered to let them stay with me and I told them that they could drive back and forth because it was only a couple hours away.  I also felt led to go with them.  Here is what happened upon our arrival in Washington.

Question: I just read an article by Mark Virkler on hearing the voice of God. One of the key things that was stated was that while you are praying, it is needful to vision the Lord. I am still learning how to get still / quiet to hear the voice of God. My question is, how does one vision the Lord within themselves when in reality they haven't seen Him in the flesh?
