Instead, Christians have discovered the freedom simply to rest in the Vine, experiencing the flow of the river of life that wells up within them by the Holy Spirit as they cease from their own labours and simply attune themselves to God. Mark Virkler
New Agers contact demons, familiar spirits, and evil spirits. Christians who are covered by the blood of Jesus and guided by the Holy Spirit are led into the throne room of God as John was in Revelation. Mark Virkler
Christianity is much more than a code of ethics; it is much more than a religion. It is a love relationship with the King of kings. It is a direct encounter with Him through the indwelling work of His Holy Spirit, which we freely receive as His gift to us. Mark Virkler
The essence of prayer is my love relationship with the King of kings, not simply going to Him to get things. Mark Virkler
Prayer is our link to God. Therefore, prayer is the most important activity in which we can engage. Prayer is supposed to be powerful, effective, and meaningful in our lives. Yet many times it is nothing more than a dutiful recitation of the items on our prayer list. We need to learn how to make prayer what it should be—a dynamic dialogue with the Lover of our souls. Mark Virkler
When the Lord’s words do not come to pass as you expected, go back and ask Him why. He will tell you. If the issue degenerates into a confusing mess that you can’t comprehend, that’s fine. Just put it on the back burner and maybe someday you will receive understanding about it. Mark Virkler
When His inner voice lines up with inner thoughts you already have, rejoice. Don’t doubt that it is His voice and assume that they are just your own thoughts. You were simply already picking up God’s spontaneous thoughts before you began your prayer time. Mark Virkler
Hearing God’s voice is as simple as quieting yourself down, fixing your eyes on Jesus, tuning to spontaneity, and writing. Mark Virkler
After 30 years of teaching this message worldwide to all age groups, I am convinced that anyone who uses all four keys at one time will hear God’s voice! Mark Virkler
Very simply stated, the four keys to hearing God’s voice are: Stillness: Quiet yourself so you can hear God’s voice. Vision: Look for vision as you pray. Spontaneity: Recognise God’s voice as spontaneous thoughts that light upon your mind. Journalling: Write down the flow of thoughts and pictures that light upon your mind. Mark Virkler
