Read Matthew 1 (REVISED STANDARD VERSION)
 

“Yes, I know it has been a long day for you. Much has happened since we last talked. Step back into the love that is with Me. Fix your eyes on the love that is with Me.  Fix your eyes on a vision of the Father. Oh, My eyes are tender to your wounds, worries and fears.  I’m here to speak with you; and to bring you comfort.  Walk through the gates of Christmas Mountain. Do not be afraid to bring to Me all your fears and concerns, and worries.”

“See the snow packed deeply on the ground. You’re wearing boots even in the vision; to walk through the snow. Feel the weather, not cold, not warm, no breeze just the air and magic of the winter season.”

“Heavy you feel, with all your prayer and concerns, as you come directly to My secret place, the place where it has been hard for you to reach; because of the overwhelming feelings of your concerns.  Knock on the doors; the light is on, I am home.  Walk into the house.  The heat is on, the fireplace to your left burning and crackling. You’ve had a long day, a long month, even, and your joy and hope has been drained from you.”

“Sit in the big comfy seat with Me. Let Me speak to you through My Word once again.”

“Remember the story of Joseph. He had wonderful dreams of love and marriage.  He had hopes and dreams of who he was going to be with. For him, all that came crashing down when he found out Mary was pregnant. He was faced with impossible news to believe and He chose to seek out My wisdom.”

“For Joseph, an angel spoke to him in a dream and gave him an interpretation of Scripture.  So, it was through the combination of prophetic interpretation of Scripture, encountering an angel in the dream, and vision that Joseph was given instruction that led to healing in his heart; hope restored, and vision for his life granted, and he saw the larger plan of the Father.”

“What areas of your life do you need to hear Me? I will speak to you in the secret and quiet place.  I will fine-tune the dial that is My voice speaking to you. Do you hear what I hear? Do you hear My voice calling out to you?  I want to encourage your heart. I want to restore the bleeding that is in your heart.  It is not just with words and thoughts, but a spiritual encounter where your heart is healed.”

“Oh My Child, I am here. Please, tell me your broken hopes and dreams and desires. Give them over to Me. Know this, Joseph’s dream of love and marriage was not completely destroyed by the prophetic word given. He was given a larger destiny than he had planned for himself.”

“My thoughts are not yours.  Do you not realize how much larger are My dreams for you? They are amazing, they are good.”

“This Christmas will be wonderful with Me. Let Me even now help you to make some plans for the Christmas season, you are going to see what your desires are.”

“See Joseph did not get rid of his desires, he gave those desires in prayer to know the Father’s voice.”

“Joseph ended up with Mary because he chose not to do what he wanted- he chose not to listen and obey his fears- he chose to press through all his fears that he was dealing with so that he could hear My voice.”

“It is the same I want with you. Press through your fears, so we can talk openly.  Be encouraged, this is just an open door to hear your hopes and dreams and go deeper and deeper into My love.”

“Don’t focus your attention on the broken dreams. Share with Me your heart, and look to Me to come in the midst of broken dreams to speak and to share directly with you and restore your hope. Listen to your dreams and look for Me to help you with interpretation of your dreams, for I will heal you in dreams and visions.”

Journal Entry: Father, what are the broken dreams in my life that You want to speak Your heart into?

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

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 Build a Winning Team

How to Receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 44 Pages | Published 2002

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.
