"I am writing to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for your outstanding seminar that I attended last Wednesday in Brisbane, Australia.
"During the past ten years I have attended many seminars that were designed to assist Christian businessmen and I want you to know I found your seminar more beneficial than anything else I have ever attended. I found your message to be very real and I felt that your genuine and sincere approach to many of the touchy areas of the application of God’s word in business was very practical.
"I also appreciated the manner in which you incorporated your written material such as the Twenty Key Biblical Principles for Christian Management into your seminar by reading the book in question. I do believe as a result of attending this seminar the many principles that I believe in so strongly will again be reinforced for the future. I also felt very motivated to pay more attention to detail to several aspects of my business that were highlighted during your seminar presentation.
"Once again many thanks and I will recommend your seminar to any Christian or non-Christian businessperson I should come in contact with. May God continue to richly bless you and your work."
Business Expands Because of a Vision from God

by Allan Thomson
Clare has asked me to relate the story of how we used vision to grow our business.
Clare having seen the vision of you and recognizing God wanting her to explore this space spent considerable time going through your teaching on vision with me. This shifted our understanding considerably as we had many years ago determined to serve God in the business mountain by "Praying, Hearing and Doing in Obedience".
So for many years now we have waited on God for clear words of insight and instruction which generally are both "heart" and "strategic" in nature. What we realized was that pictures are much easier to work with than words or Scriptures. In other words it's easier to remember a picture than a word concerning the issue or person. As you say: "Pictures paint a thousand words." I was wrestling with some challenges on the business front and God challenged me: "You have never asked Me if your business will go bankrupt." So I asked the Lord to give me a picture of how He saw my business and He gave me the picture which I later found in Psalm 1:3 and Jeremiah 17:8.
I saw a picture of a very large tree planted next to a river. It bore fruit in season, provided shelter for many birds, shade, leaves that were always green and even in old age will keep bearing fruit. This picture profoundly changed my personal view of [our] company, now 8 years old.
There had always been a niggling fear in the background of us making a mistake and the company folding and I realized my view was completely different from God's. I aligned my thinking with God and gave thanks for what He had given us in the Company. Over the next few weeks every time the doubt would surface and I would lose my peace about the company, I would picture again God's vision for me and peace would flood back, quiet and confidence would be my experience and strengthen me.
The effect on the business was remarkable because in a matter of weeks we found substantial growth in business. An old customer who had been small suddenly grew 7 times as big, new work started flooding in, turnover increased. Even an old client from 14 years ago suddenly called us out of the blue and it looks like it could result in work that would effectively double our turnover every month. We are growing at a time when our opposition companies in the same business are closing their doors or wanting to sell out. We are about to invest in a new machine which will enable our business to grow to 8 times its current size. Remarkable. And we get to live in peace and quiet. This is a much better deal that anxiety (Isa 32:7).
I realized that we get what we believe and I had never settled the issue of my unbelief concerning the business. It's so much easier remembering a picture and encouraging my partners and managers with the picture Father gave us. I have extended this into my prayer life for the people around us asking Father for a picture of how to pray. Thanks for the "Vision" teaching. It has been invaluable and so I have decided to enroll in Christian Leadership University to grow this capacity.
Note from Mark Virkler: In light of the above testimony, how about all of us asking God for a picture of how He sees our business, our ministry and our families? IAfter a few months, share your testimony with me of the vision you received and its resulting impact. Thanks!

Opportunity 4 – Host a seminar for your community

Transform your church and region by hosting a weekend seminar with an anointed trainer, where an impartation is released by the Holy Spirit into your community. Mark Virkler and others are available to be scheduled.
Check off the ones you perceive could be a block to experiencing financial blessings.
Who rules? God? Congress? The World Economic Forum? Evil bureaucrats? Jesus was at peace in the midst of the evil Roman Empire. Why? Because His eyes were fixed on His Heavenly Father, and He did only what He saw and heard His Father doing (Jn. 5:19,20,30).
I had the privilege of interviewing Joshua Mills last week to discuss his excellent new book, Creative Glory - Embracing the Realm of Divine Expression. His passion is to help Christians access the limitless creativity available to them through the Holy Spirit's anointing.
Joshua points out that our heavenly Father is introduced to us in Scripture initially as Creator. Genesis 1:1 tells us that, "In the beginning, God created...." Now God could have introduced Himself to us with any one of His hundreds of attributes, but creativity was the one chosen. While many of us know the Lord as Savior, Healer, and Deliverer, in this season He is inviting us to know Him more intimately as Creator, allowing His Spirit of Creativity to flow in our hearts and out through our lives, transforming every sphere of society.
