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?

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).
