Left-brainer Breaks Through by Sheree Sealey

Mark Virkler's picture

I don’t usually picture things when I read so I have found this teaching a challenge. This was my experience yesterday.


Lord, please show me how to use the eyes of my heart. I want to start by visualizing a gospel story, but all I see are crowds. Lord, I don’t want to have to fight my way through a crowd in the gospels. Instead, I wait for you early in the morning. You have gone away to spend time with your Father alone. I wait for you to come back; it is just getting light and there is an early morning chill. Mist hangs in the air. As you see me, You smile and walk towards me, You pull me to your side and wrap your cloak around me. At once I’m warm and safe. Lord Jesus, what do You want to say to me this morning?

“Not everything is a conversation Sheree. Sometimes I just want to spend time with you as I did with the disciples. We shared our lives; we were comfortable with each other. I want you to be comfortable in my presence, just spending time with me. In the cool of the morning, come to me, it is not wasted time, I will nourish your spirit. Walk with me or sit with me and see the dawn of a new day. Rejoice with me that our Father is in heaven, and He is in control.

That is what I want you to focus on when you are with me, not the problems ahead. Just enjoy my peace; let it restore your heart. Look forward to this part of your day with anticipation for I am a God of surprises, and I want you to experience joy with me. Your heart is locked down in so many areas, my daughter. Time spent quietly in my presence will release the bondage that is tying you down. You will see the tight cords that are holding you being cut, and they will spring away to set your heart free. Hold onto that picture, Sheree, anticipate it, wait for it and watch it happen.”

As I sat with Him, we had fruit for breakfast and shared communion together. At first, I felt I should be serving Jesus, but He assured me I was His guest, and I was welcome, that I have a right to be there, I belong with Him. I am accepted in the beloved. (Ephesians 1:6) Thank You, Lord. Amen.

On another day - Jesus explains to me what “His Yoke” is by Sheree Sealey

Today Jesus invited me to walk with Him. He is serious. He reminds me to come to Him and take His yoke. I sense that as with His disciples, this is a teaching time for me. There are things in my heart that He is not happy about.

““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.””
Matthew 11:28-30 NIV

My mind is scattered. I confess I don’t fully understand what these verses mean. Jesus emphasizes that I must learn from Him. I hadn’t really focused on that part of the verse before. Usually, I would search for an explanation on the internet but I feel that Jesus is asking me, inviting me, to learn how to meditate on His word.

As I pondered this and said these verses to myself, the Holy Spirit spoke into my spirit that His yoke is love. It was an aha moment, a revelation rather than just mental assent to a fact. I can own this in my heart, it is real to me in a way it hasn’t been before. Thank you, Lord.

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.

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 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.
