Creating Memorials of What God Has Done

Mark Virkler's picture

Memorials are reminders so we never forget what God has done and are constantly encouraged in the Lord. Following is a testimony of a memorial Rebecca Colucci has created in a room in her home. 

My Ebenezer Shelf

There are several times in the Scriptures that God’s people are told to remember Him and all He has done for them.  In 1 Samuel 7 we read how the prophet Samuel chose a stone and set it aside for the nation of Israel as a visual reminder of God’s victorious assistance over the Philistines.  This stone was called “Ebenezer” as it was set aside to remember all that God did for His people (1 Sam 7:12).

Many Christians over the centuries have used this verse to gather their own remembrance stones of God’s faithfulness in their lives when they have had a great need for His intervention. 

One day as I was pondering all that God had done in opening my heart with wisdom and revelation over the years, it dawned on me how much work Holy Spirit had performed in my life.  The Scripture tells us that God has given us His Spirit of Truth.  One day as I was meditating on this verse (John 16:13) I was reminded that we are born in a state of deception, lies, and unbelief which makes it necessary for Holy Spirit to work diligently in our lives to lead us into correct thinking which is Truth.  We so badly need our minds renewed to see things from God’s perspective. It takes a lifetime of repenting (change of mind) to get us fit for Heaven, I believe.

 

So as I began reflecting on all the revelation that Holy Spirit has dropped into my heart, I wanted to have a way to visually track that.  I believe He led me to assign a shelf in my house to commemorate His faithfulness in leading me into the Truth of who He is and who I am.  As I became more intentional about remembering His work in my life, I began to put on my shelf things that represented the revelation that I received from God. 

For example, I have a crown to remind me of my royal identity as a daughter of the King of kings.  Over the years my shelf has become quite crowded, for which I am very grateful.  This shelf serves as a collection of testimonies of Holy Spirit’s faithfulness in my life.  We are told that Jesus has assigned His Spirit to guide, teach, counsel, and to help us remember all that God has done.  Holy Spirit also helps us understand all that we have been given (our spiritual blessings) because of the finished work of Christ.

I often glance at my shelf throughout the year and am filled with gratitude for the work God has done in my life.  I love remembering all that God has done to renew my mind.  I don’t ever want to forget His work of grace in my life.  My Ebenezer Shelf is a reminder that faithful is God to perfect the good work He began in me (Phil 1:6).  Praise the name of the Lord!

This is my story of how my cardiac event was resolved by combining the best in medical care, Christian spirituality, and nutrition. 

I was NOT supposed to have a cardiac event. I ate a healthy diet, exercised several times a week, consumed lots of great nutrition and sought to live destressed by abiding in Christ. This story contains the lessons I learned in the months of healing after having emergency surgery which involved five heart bypasses.

How Do YOU Know? MP3 Downloads

by Mark Virkler | 12 Audio Sessions

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 series.

How to Speak in Tongues MP3

How to Speak in Tongues MP3

Speaking in tongues involves a miracle wherein you yield your vocal cords to the flow of the Holy Spirit, trusting that God is forming the syllables you speak into a language. It may be a language of men or of angels (1 Cor. 13:1). You choose to speak (Acts 2:4) but you choose not to form the syllables consciously, and instead let the Spirit give the utterance (Acts:2:4). The goal of this short teaching is to help people understand the part they need to play and the part the Holy Spirit plays when it comes to the miracle of speaking in tongues.

How to Walk by the Spirit MP3s

How to Walk by the Spirit MP3s

by Mark Virkler | 12 Sessions

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.
