God it’s a sunny weekend afternoon, I’m tidying my garage. I’m having fun. But I think you’re saying to take a break? You want me to get my computer out and have a written conversation with you?
I do. Why do you think that is?
I think it’s because even though I’m enjoying myself -- somewhere in the back of my mind I’m feeling a bit anxious, worried, alone – maybe just a bit down?
Yes. Why are you feeling like that?
What would you like to know?
God speak to me this morning.
What would you like to know?
Wow crazy. That’s you?
It’s me.
You, God? You’re asking what I want to know?
Yes.
You sure?? In the bible it’s only when someone’s been really good that you ask them stuff like that – almost acting as though you were their servant.
Did you know that the majority of the Bible was written by people using 4 keys to hearing God's voice?
Question – Is it really all that important to use the four keys to hearing God’s voice? I mean, some people have five keys, and some have three keys, and some just say do it. This whole formula thing doesn’t really work for me. I can hear God’s voice without using any keys - I just listen and hear. The vision and journaling doesn’t sit too well with me either...
Answer – I believe these four keys were given to me through divine revelation and that they make hearing God’s voice easy for naturally analytical people to do, while at the same time making it possible for more naturally intuitive people to communicate to others what they instinctively do. And yes, since God can do anything, He can also speak through other means; I am simply saying this is an easy way for all people to daily hear God's voice.
When you begin to intentionally use these four keys, you should give yourself a couple of weeks to become fully comfortable with purposely using them. If you do, you will hear God’s voice daily and easily and so will those to whom you teach the four keys. Let me explain why.

God some of my friends who try a conversation with you find it hard.
Do you?
Yes.
Really? They think it seems easy for you.
That’s because they’re not there when I’m trying to hear you. I’m pretty sure I find it JUST AS difficult for exactly the same reasons they do.
What makes it the hardest to hear me?
Disappointed: I joined a charismatic group about a year ago and am amazed to see numbers of people slain in the spirit when they are being prayed over. I desire the same but am always disappointed that I don’t get slain. The latest seminar I attended was a week ago and still I didn't get slain in the Spirit.
Dear Disappointed: I fully understand. I too have hungered to fall down under the power of the Holy Spirit as others do, and I have wrestled with this issue over the years. It is finally resolved in my heart and mind. Let me offer a few thoughts the Lord has shared with me.
Question: Dear Mark....I participated in your seminar recently and since then I have gone through the supplied workbook and the textbook, have recruited 3 spiritual advisers, and have been submitting much journaling material to them. I'm looking at taking a few not-for-credit courses with Christian Leadership University, and would like to do at least one with a Personal Spiritual Trainer. Here is some of my journaling. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Answer: Your journaling below is fantastic. We are thrilled to have you as a new student in Christian Leadership University. Keep up the great work! Mark Virkler
Mark I want to interview you. About this conversation with me. I want to ask you the questions that so many people have about how to hear me. They struggle. They think that they’re making it up, that it’s just their imagination.
It’s the same for me though God. It’s a constant struggle.
They’re not going to like hearing that. They think it’s easy for you and hope that one day they’ll find it easy too. Easy like they think it is for you.
God did you just say we weren’t created for religion, we were created for reality? We were created to live a life out there with you in the world, not huddling together hiding from the world?
Yes.
You want to talk about that?
Yes.
How shall I start?
That was a good start.
Ok. Well what do you want to say?
Plenty.
God I could have sworn you just said that Satan LOVES it when you promise us something. Did you really say that?
Yes.
Why? Why would he possibly love that?
Because it gives him a chance to finish you off. I want something done about this Mark.
God I have a horrible feeling you want me involved in this somehow.
I want ANYONE who is prepared to help. Anyone will do. Tell me Mark, do you want something done about him?
