This book is the story of Mark’s personal journey toward revelation knowledge. With his trademark transparency and humor, you’ll identify with his challenges along the way and rejoice in his breakthroughs as he endeavors to continually wade deeper into the river of God.

Learning to live in the river of God (Jn. 7:38) is simple for some, difficult for others, and nearly impossible for a few. How does one connect to this river? What is this "flow" experience? Can it be defined? Can it be taught? Can the blocks that keep us from connecting to the river of God be uncovered and removed? Gloriously, the answer to all the above questions is a resounding YES!

Christianity is the Spirit of God being joined with the spirit of man through the salvation experience, and then man living out of the Holy Spirit within him (I Cor. 6:17). Jesus could sense the movements of His spirit. He could sense the movements of the Holy Spirit within His spirit. Jesus lived out of His spirit and the Spirit of God joined to His spirit (Jn. 5:19,20,30). The Bible commands us as Christians to walk in the Spirit (Gal. 5:16); live in the Spirit (Gal. 5:26); pray with the Spirit (I Cor. 14:15); and to worship in Spirit (Jn. 4:23). With this in mind, let’s learn to become believers who are conscious of the movements of the Holy Spirit within us.

What Others are Saying About This Book

“Rev. Mark Virkler was a trained Baptist theologian and left-brain thinker, rather than a right-brain visionary. He tells his story of how God slowly, patiently, and lovingly drew him out of rationalism and into Spirit encounter. The road Mark describes was long and tedious, covering 32 years. However, he is convinced now that there are some lampposts along the way which others can follow. Some of the major landmines along the path have been identified, and now one can follow his 32-year journey in just a very short time, and then be prepared to sail right on past him, into new heights and depths in the river of God.”

Wading Deeper Into the River of God  by my friend Dr. Mark Virkler is a marvelous blend of truths coming from his personal journey written with both scholastic skill and a love for the Spirit of God. It is tailor-made for the “left brain” mainstream of Christianity who have difficulty connecting with today’s “river of God’s presence.” Practical yet inspirational, Mark will lead you out of the prison of rationalism into the freedom of communion and revelation that flows from the heart.

Wading Deeper Into the River of God shares practical steps to help all of us progress in our spiritual life, and it is taught from an experiential point of view rather than a theoretical or even a theological premise. Everyone could profit from the book, but we left-brained persons, who tend toward rationalism and theology, can learn much about God’s methods of subjective teaching from this book. It is a “must read” book.

As we wade deeper, we receive journaling like this “Experiencing the Glory of God”

I asked the Lord to teach me what John 17:22 means: “I have given the glory that you have given me that they may be one as we are one.”

Son, My glory is the evidence of My presence in a situation. My glory radiates from Me like light. It permeates darkness, it imparts life, it speaks life into dead things, tissue, souls, spirits. It regenerates dead material. It is life.

I have given you this glory, it radiates out from you because I am in you, I am one with you. You radiate My glory, My presence into every situation you are in, every building, every person. It is My glory, the evidence of My presence. As you become aware of this truth and your faith rises, the glory increases. Your spirit contains My glory. Your soul restrains its light by lack of faith. If your soul believes, the light of My Spirit radiates out of you.

Son, as you consider this, know that few Christians have understood the glory of God, and do not appropriate all that is possible. The shadow of Peter fell on the sick. The radiance of My presence filled the sick and they were healed, so it is as your soul believes and the radiance of My glory shines brighter through. My dunamis power flows out of My glory and heals the sick, raises the dead, cleanses the lepers.

Son, beware of the danger that comes in this. It is not your glory, it is My glory that is radiating out of you. Many men let their glory color my glory and as a result they pollute the glory of God. You must always walk in the full awareness it is not your personal power/glory that is healing; it is Mine.

Love,
Dad

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 66 Pages

Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

Health Mastery Through MRT

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 82 Pages

Wouldn't it be great if there were a way for my body to tell me exactly what it needs and desires, without having to take expensive or invasive tests? Wouldn't it be amazing if I could perform these tests as often as I wanted, right in my own home (or anywhere I wanted), with no costly instruments necessary?

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages | $15.99 retail list price

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know?

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this book.

How to Walk by the Spirit

How to Walk by the Spirit

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages | Previous name "Sense Your Spirit"

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
