"Truly the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5)

Valentine’s is a perfect time to reflect on how great a love the Father has lavished upon us. Most of us know that God loves us; however, we don’t always feel it. We are aware the Bible says He cares for us, but sometimes there is a disconnect between what our minds know and our hearts seem to experience.

Happy New Year! It is with hearts full of faith that we look forward to 2022, and full of thankfulness for what Father has done this past year. It's been so rewarding to empower School of Ministry students in both the US and the UK. We have also received unprecedented opportunities to minister in Asia via Zoom doing translated sessions. We equipped believers in China through teachings in Mandarin as well as believers in Myanmar through teachings in Burmese.

I was blessed that the Elijah List posted my last blog on seeing in the spirit. I’ve received some wonderful feedback from readers who are using the article in their intercessors’ groups and prayer teams to teach that it IS biblical to look for vision. So thankful the message is resonating and these principles are being put into practice!

We often speak of God “giving us a vision,” and we mean that He supernaturally provides us with a picture of heaven or glimpse into the spiritual realm. Certainly, He can and does do this. However, I wonder if this is His ideal and original intention. That is, does Father always want us to just wait around for Him to sovereignly “open our eyes” to the sacred dimension, or does He appreciate it when we take the initiative to open our spiritual eyes and proactively look into His supernatural world?

As many of you know, I am fascinated by quantum physics and the spiritual ramifications those scientific principles have in our everyday lives. No matter the subject of a book I’m working on, I usually manage to turn the conversation towards this topic in at least one chapter! Now I’m very excited to be writing a new book that is entirely devoted to this area.

This week I had the pleasure of being hosted by Zoey and Jenna on their prophetic podcast, The Table. I met Zoey in New Zealand when she attended an Everyday Angels event on our most recent ministry trip Down Under. I am so proud of her, because since then she has been putting into practice everything she learned, partnering with angels, and even teaching others how to do the same!

Not long ago I was invited to be on TCT for their Prayer on Purpose show. We had a wonderful time looking at Jesus as our model for releasing spiritual gifts and how we can practically follow in His supernatural footsteps. In one of our most in-depth interviews about the new teaching, Overflow of the Spirit, we discussed everything from prophetic dreams to Albert Einstein.

We have some awesome praise reports to share and are so grateful for all God is doing around the world. Thank you for your faithful prayers and financial partnership with Glory Waves Ministries. It is exciting to see so much amazing fruit in so many different ways – and YOU are a huge part of it!

Recently my dad, Mark Virkler, was invited to join Shawn Bolz on his extremely popular Exploring the Prophetic podcast and they had a great time together. It was awesome to hear how God has used their ministries in such complementary and synergistic ways over the years, and you can get the whole scoop in my dad’s blog post here.

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?
