The journaling which follows is from Lyle Thomas, a CLU student, and a missionary in Russia. It was turned in as part of his course work for the class "Increasing the Anointing."

Afternoon Dr Virkler, 

I have experienced Jesus’ words directly when you visited our church (I think it was 1979 – Moreleta in Pretoria, South Africa) – I am also busy reading your 4 Keys book currently – A question that bothers me – The “Our Father” – Lord’s prayer He gave us as a template – why does it not contain any of the 4 keys?

Learning to hear God's voice has been the single most transformational experience of my life, excluding the actual act of accepting salvation.  I have been a born again Christian since I was 17, having grown up in the church, which means I was full of doctrine and religion.  Over the past 20 years, I have audibly heard the voice of God speak to me ONCE, giving me direction to do something. I did not know, nor did I realize a few things: 1) that he was always speaking, 2) I can always hear, and 3) that one time in 20 years could not count as a relationship.
