I believe that maturity involves knowing how to present both our logical faculties and our visionary faculties to the Holy Spirit to be used by Him. The results are Spirit-led reasoning and godly imagination, visions, and dreams. Mark Virkler

Since Christianity is a heart-to-heart or Spirit-to-spirit relationship, we would expect this faculty to be central in our relationship with God. Unfortunately, it is not used as much as it should be because we have been trained to live out of our head rather than our heart. Mark Virkler

Becoming still is an art to be learned, especially for those of the Western culture who are always on the go. However, our communion with the Lord must begin here. Mark Virkler

Second, we must learn to quiet our inner being—all those voices and thoughts within us that are calling for our attention. Until they are quieted, we most likely will not hear His voice. Mark Virkler

For us to hear the still, small voice of God within us as spontaneous thoughts, we ourselves must become quiet. God says, “Be still and know that I am God” (Ps. 46:10 NKJV). Mark Virkler

We have a right to come before the throne of God because of what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ accomplished for us at Calvary. However, it is the Holy Spirit who takes us there. It is the Spirit who gives us actual access. Mark Virkler

All our praying is to be in the Spirit (inspired, guided, energized, and sustained by the Holy Spirit), otherwise, we are praying in the flesh (see Eph. 6:18). Some of our praying is to be with the Spirit, which is in tongues and some is to be with the mind, which is in our native language (see 1 Cor. 14:14-15). Mark Virkler

The Principle of Pure Focus is this: “The intuitive flow comes out of the vision I am holding before the eyes of my heart.” That is why I am commanded to fix my eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith. That will make the vision pure. Mark Virkler

This brings into focus a startling truth concerning an inappropriate method of prayer, which I am afraid has been practiced by many: They have fixed their spiritual eyes on the thing they are praying about more than on Jesus. The principle is: “When anything is larger than Jesus in the eyes of your heart, that thing has become an idol.” Mark Virkler

Logos is the whole Bible. Rhema is the word of God spoken by His mouth for the immediate time and situation. We need to understand and experience rhema as well as Logos. Mark Virkler
