Mark Virkler's blog

Did you know that you don’t need to be continually plagued by negative thoughts, feelings, pictures or memories? It is not part of the "human condition" to feel the constant nagging of doubt, insecurity, or anger. No matter what sin you are trying to overcome, what lie you think you’ll always believe, or what traumas your heart has suffered in the past, you will receive total freedom and restoration by praying these prayers in faith.

This newly released book is by Dr. Isabelle Declercq, a graduate of Christian Leadership University, and a two-way journaler. It helps spread the message of spiritual intimacy and may be purchased here. ‘Within the first pages, she takes you through her lively dialogues with God, fun encounters with angels, dreams, and visions which were all God’s communication channels for the writing of this book. Life with God is never boring!!’ I, Mark Virkler, just finished reading this book and found it fascinating. You will enjoy it.

The National Day of Prayer is this Thursday, May 6.

That was the question the Holy Spirit asked me, now almost two years ago. I had woken up like any other day, poured a cup of coffee and sat half-awake with the intention to connect with God. I read some Scripture, I prayed aloud, and then I waited in the stillness for Him to speak. (This blog introduces a new book by Matthew Berry, a CLU student.)

The following article is written by Don Paprocky, a close friend and a certified Communion With God facilitator. 

Introduction: Would you agree that it's time for pastors and the Church to do what our founding fathers did and fight for religious freedom and liberty? I think we all agree that America is in a crisis moment. The Covid “pandemic” (as it is being called) is being used by some to undermine our liberties. If that's not enough, half the nation believes the election was stolen. Big tech, mainstream news, government, and education have teamed up to push a one-sided narrative and are working hard to keep other voices from being heard. Christian voices are being silenced by being removed from Facebook, YouTube, and other media outlets. So how can I respond? With FEAR? Wring my hands in defeat? Declare wickedness must advance before the coming of the Lord? NO, I don’t think so.

While 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice has always been our most popular teaching, Prayers That Heal the Heart has been a close second. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the printing of the original book, in May 2021 we are releasing a revised and updated version of this much-loved teaching. You can benefit by purchasing any amount of the remaining quantities of our present product at a deeply discounted price. We are offering them at a 75% discount until our current supply of the original version is sold out.

I have waited for this book to be written for many years. One statement I love in this book, which also expresses the main theme of the book, is that "to fulfill the Lord’s commission to disciple nations, people have to see wonders, miracles, deliverance, healings and even experience the resurrection of the dead through the power of the Holy Spirit.”

This is the form of ministry and evangelism Jesus practiced. Jesus ministered a compassionate, loving, healing touch to all He encountered. The Church today must do the same. This book will help you minister and evangelize in the same manner as Jesus.

Dr. Raynold Milfort has received his doctorate from Christian Leadership University. I was proud to write the above endorsement for his book, Anointed Discipleship. THIS is what will fulfill the Great Commission.

When I began pastoring in the late 1970’s, we created small groups which met weekly for sharing, Bible study, prayer for personal needs, and fellowship. Everyone completed the assigned study during the week, and came to the meetings prepared to share what God had revealed to them during their meditation upon Scripture. We worked our way “Through the Bible” with a 2-year program. Years later, people have commented that this was the place they received their grounding in Scripture.
