READ: LUKE 1 & 2 & MATTHEW 1 & 2 NEW KING JAMES

“Happy holidays, My child.  Come with Me, I want to tell you a story.  It is a story that you may have heard a thousand times before but only encountered as you would a Christmas card, a movie or piece of pop culture entertainment.”

“It is the Nativity Story; the birth of My Son, Jesus Christ.  Yes, there are age-old mysteries to this story: how am I the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit but one? These are mysteries that you don’t fully understand.”

“I want to make this a living, breathing story to you.  It was a historical story, not just a fantasy.  Let Me breathe life in the story, stripping away the fables bringing you into an encounter with the story itself.”

“Come, with Me, and use the vision and eyes of your heart.  No matter what time you are reading this, I want you to encounter the magic that is Christmas again.  So, come, come away with Me.  Every day we will read the Bible Story again and again, meditating on the Nativity Story, so it may go from head to heart.”

“Come, come away with Me; use your vision and imagination and the eyes of your heart to experience this.”

“See, I bring you to the gates. The giant, royal-looking; old English-looking gates like something from the historical time period of the Charles Dickens novel, The Christmas Carol.”

“In big letters made of gold and silver, overarching over the gates, is the name of this special secret place for you and Me.”

“Christmas Mountain.”

“Now, the gates open, and the smoke and clouds disappear, and you are transported to the secret place of Christmas.”

“Snow gently falls, that light snow which is both warm and cold, and you see the road leading up near the top of a mountain.”

“The road diverts into two paths, one to the left and one to the right.  A sign shows you the left path leads to the Father’s house, the right to Christmas Village.”

“The village is very much architecturally like the Charles Dickens village of old; but for now; let’s go to Papa’s house; My house.  It is only a short walk; and before you is a large house covered with snow; with a Christmas tree forest all around it.”

“Come, come, you are the delighted guest of the house. Knock, and I will answer the door.”

“The door is opened. The front room is where the shoes and hallway closet is for coats and boots. To the left and the right is the opening living room; a large rectangular room.”

“On the far left is a working fireplace, wooden fire all set up, stockings, neatly set up as well.  In the middle of the room is the hallway leading to the kitchen and the rest of the house.”

“Also on the left is a beautiful sofa.  To the right along the wall in front of you is a very old-fashioned, early twentieth century stereo and record player, the giant one they used to have as a stereo. Beyond that is the Father’s armchair, My armchair and another seat right next to it, with a small table dresser in between, sit, sit down and rest with Me.”

“There is a big, giant family Bible on the coffee table.  Next to the armchair is a small bookshelf in the corner, with a various Bible translations. We will use these to read for our adventures.”

“And so, I pull out the Bible and sit in front of you.  Now, we begin.”

Journal Entry: Father, what do You want to say to me about the Bible and the Christmas Story?

Have you ever wished you could just sit down and have a long talk with the Lord? Wouldn't it be wonderful to move beyond having a theology that states that God loves you to actually hearing Him whisper words of love into your heart? When you're worried or confused, wouldn't you love to see the situation from His perspective and hear how He wants you to respond? When things don't seem to be going your way and your prayers aren't answered the way you had hoped, wouldn't it be great to hear Him tell you where He is in the midst of it, and what He is working out in your life? Are you ever just a little bit jealous of others who say with such confidence, "The Lord said...."?

How to Hear God's Voice

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 317 Pages

We recommend that you order the newest revision of this book titled 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice. It includes 95% of the content of How to Hear God's Voice but is reorganized so it fits perfectly with the 10 DVDs on this subject by Mark Virkler. In addition, it gets you started using the four keys earlier in the book and gives you more journaling samples and exercises. Since we have removed the large margins, it is a smaller and less expensive book.

Twelve Weeks to Spiritual Mastery - Group Coaching

A group coaching experience with Mark Virkler

Because I could not find a Spirit-anointed teacher/coach, I spent ten extremely frustrating years seeking to hear God’s voice!!! Suggestions offered did not help me, things like: “You just know that you know. It is a still small voice. He speaks from your heart.” No one could give me the answer I needed which was: Hearing God’s voice is as simple as quieting yourself down, fixing your eyes on Jesus, recognizing His voice as spontaneous, flowing thoughts and writing down His flow as it is coming. Test what you have written after the flow is done, NOT while it is occurring.

Counseled by God

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 146 Pages

Have you ever been defeated by negative emotions such as anger, fear, guilt, inferiority, condemnation or depression? Have you tried to fight them off unsuccessfully? Is there an answer that is deeper than simply trying to mentally reason yourself out of these emotions? Is there a way that Jesus can speak a word of life into the depths of your emotional despair and bring healing on a deep level? Is there a form of Christian counseling that begins and ends with the movement of Christ within your heart, rather than simply with the words of man?

Do you often wake up feeling there was a significant message in your dream, but you’re just not sure what it is? Like Daniel and Joseph, do you long to be able to help others understand their own dreams and win them to Christ as you explain His night messages to them? Wouldn't it be nice if you could receive mid-course corrections from the Lord while you sleep? Do you wish you could be receiving divine inspiration, creative solutions to problems, and direction from the Lord during that third of your life that you’re “just” sleeping?
