When my Dad, Mark Virkler, first told me he was writing a book on spiritual gifts I didn’t think that had much to do with me. After all, don’t we normally associate words of wisdom and knowledge with prophets or evangelists? And isn’t healing something pastors release in church services and miracles something missionaries see on the mission field? It all sounds well and good, but what does that have to do with the rest of us?

In March I had the privilege of ministering at Global Awakening, Randy Clark’s school of ministry, with students both on campus and also online. I shared on dreams as well as the angelic realm and we had a wonderful time experiencing the Lord of Hosts and His heavenly hosts.

One of the reasons God speaks through a picture language at night is because the symbolism is so rich. There are often many levels and layers of meaning for us to discover. In our last article I shared my "God on Trial" dream and an initial interpretation of the message. If you haven't seen it yet you can read Part I of this dream story here.

Scripture tells us that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony (Rev. 12:11). If you’re like me, you have always considered your testimony to be the story of your “conversion” and when you “prayed the salvation prayer.” However, through a prophetic dream God showed me His perspective of our testimony, gave me a more complete understanding of what it actually is, and revealed one of the incredible ways it empowers us to conquer the accuser in our lives.

I pray you are experiencing God’s supernatural love and power during this most holy of weeks. We know the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us and gives life to our bodies (Rom. 8:11). We also know Jesus commissioned us to not only preach the gospel of the Kingdom, but to demonstrate it by healing the sick and raising the dead (Matt. 10:7-8). I want to share a testimony we received this week from one of our partner pastors who is doing just that!

Ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science both reveal that observation causes transformation. We know that as we gaze upon Jesus we are transformed into His glorious image (2 Cor. 3:18). We have also explored how quantum physics correlates with our walk in the Spirit. We learned about the “Observer Effect” and that a simple understanding of this principle states that when we observe something, we change it. Just our very act of looking at something affects it.

Did you know you could receive an overflow of Holy Spirit’s life and gifts while you sleep? You can! It’s easy, and it actually happened quite often in the Bible. Father knows that when we’re asleep is one of the best times to get our attention and He promised He would reveal Himself in visions and speak to us in dreams (Num. 12:6). He declared in the last days He would pour out His Spirit and the result would be the seeing of visions and dreaming of dreams (Acts 2:17).

I am so thankful for YOU: All 101,166 of you beautiful followers on Facebook. Glory Waves Ministries Facebook page has just reached a huge milestone and I wanted you to share in our celebration! It is truly an honor to now have over 100,000 of you dreamers and visionaries following the ministry online.

It’s finally here! Dad and I have been preparing a brand new training series for you over the summer and we are so excited to get these resources into your hands. It’s Overflow of the Spirit – How to Release His Gifts in Every Area of Your Life and the key message is that every believer can flow in every gift of the Spirit in their everyday lives. Most importantly, we teach you how to do it.

What would you do if you had been struggling with excruciating pain and no one could figure out why? You’d seen pastors and counselors and been prayed for. You’d seen doctors and specialists and been tested. All the results kept coming back normal, but you could no longer even go to work because of the debilitating pain in your body?

Well, if you’re Brian McLaughlin, you would tell your doctor you believed God was going to give her a dream in the night, and then she would know what to do!
