Create Memorials Commemorating God’s Victory

Mark Virkler's picture

God wants us to hold pictures in our minds of His supernatural victories in our lives.

When the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry ground, they picked up stones from the dry river bed, and when they got to the far side of the Jordan they stacked them up into an altar as a memorial of the victory God had just won for them. Now whenever they passed this altar, their children could ask what it was for and they could recount God’s wonderful miracle to them. In this way God's supernatural provision would never be forgotten (Josh. 4).

It is important for us to follow this pattern. When I have just experienced a miracle of healing or deliverance or provision or victory from the enemy, I want to make sure I never forget it and it becomes a testimony to me, my friends and my posterity of God’s greatness and mercy in my life. This helps me live a life of gratitude (Col. 2:7; Heb.12:28).

So ask God, “What would you have me create as a memorial to commemorate this victory in my life?” Create whatever He reveals. It could be a writing, a picture, a poster, a carving, a creation, a song, an object. Let Him lead. Create what He gives you to create. NEVER forget His wonder-working power in your life. Receive encouragement and strength every time you look at it or recount it to others.

Divine pictures drive out demonic pictures. A picture is worth 1000 words. Pictures are the language of the heart. Out of the heart flow the issues of life (Prov. 4:23). When Abraham gazed at a picture of the promise fulfilled, faith arose in his heart (Gen. 15:5,6).I believe the memorials we hold as pictures in our heart, are places the Holy Spirit can inhabit. This spreads God's light within and helps keep darkness at bay.  

Below is an example of a memorial.

I replace false altars with true altars unto the Lord – by Kirsten Himmelberg

As I was going through my healing process I found that as I was doing inner healing I spent far too much time shouting at the enemy and telling him to leave, and far too little time creating a friendly environment for the Holy Spirit to abide within me. The more I created an environment which welcomed Jesus in my heart and provided a friendly habitation for the Holy Spirit within, the less I had to yell at the enemy to leave.  In fact now I rarely have to yell at the enemy anymore.

Here is how I created an altar in my heart to commune with Jesus which welcomed the Holy Spirit in. I like things in nature. So my altar is in a wooded grotto.  There is a bench there I can sit and talk to Jesus my Savior. The temperature is perfect; there is soft music. I created flowers that honor the Lord. I created flowers that do not exist on earth. They display the cross of Christ and his resurrection.  There is an altar there (like the Ark of the Covenant) but it doesn’t look like the Ark of the Covenant.  It has a Bible in it. It plays music. It is erected to replace whatever ungodly altars I created in my soul when I didn’t know how to abide in Christ.  I can come to the garden in my heart whenever I want to.   Sometimes I walk in an area of nature with this song playing “I come to the garden alone”. And in my mind’s eye I am in the garden in my heart.  I am creating an atmosphere that invites Jesus to show me what I need to know. Jesus talks to me. I honor the Father and I welcome the Holy Spirit. Replacement has taken place. Evil has been replaced with good.

Empowered by the Holy Ghost, they immediatey won 3000 to the Lord. Miracles followed, many were healed, and the world was transformed by these anointed disciples. 

In the General Epistles we learn of the struggles the early Church faced, and the amazing teaching the Apostle Paul provided to keep them on track. You receive a glimpse into the heart of Paul as he passionately encourages his readers to know who they are in Christ and ascend into the heavenlies, where they are seated with Him in heavenly places, ruling and reigning. These books take you into the depths of Scriptural truth as revealed by the Holy Spirit. Pray for God to give you revelation knowledge in your heart and mind as you meditate on His Word (Eph. 1:17,18).
