Obedience Increases Your Faith - Journaling Prayer by LaWanda

Mark Virkler's picture

LaWanda – O Lord, Jesus, you are calling Me to come close to you using obedience as the key, the way to get there.  O Lord, help Me to listen to you, to trust you and then to immediately obey you.  This is my heart’s desire, Lord, not because of what it will do for Me but because I want to honor you.  You have said that you want obedience more than sacrifice.  I know our works will never take the place of being obedient to your word, Lord, so please help me to obey.


I see you, Lord, in this very moment standing behind me as I write.  You have placed your hands on my shoulders and are just letting your love flow into me.  You are smiling as you see what I am writing for you know that obedience IS the key to it all.  Even as I feel your love flowing through me, Lord, you are increasing my desire for you, my desire to be obedient to you, to honor you in all that I do.

Jesus – LaWanda, My dear one,  My precious one, My Be-loved.  I love it when you allow my love to fill you, when you allow yourself to “Be-Loved” by Me.  Precious one, there is nothing greater that you can do to honor Me than to obey My word.  Obedience does a lot of things, LaWanda.  It shows respect.  It gives honor.  It builds confidence.  It increases faith.  It motivates to continue to obey.  I could go on, LaWanda, but you get the idea.  Obedience is good for you.  And as all things that you give to Me, even your obedience, I will bless and multiply it.  The benefit to you cannot really be calculated.  Through obedience you actually come to love Me more.  After the fact you may see why you needed to obey or you may not, but when you do, it will increase your faith exponentially – like nothing else can.

O my precious one, listen to my voice, trust that what I am saying is true and then obey Me.  It really is as simple as that.  And when you find that you have not obeyed, stop and repent.  Change the way you see it and then keep on obeying.  If you do, you will reap the blessings of obedience, all of them, again and again.  And remember, with Me, every “again” is A…Gain.

“So Samuel said: Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the Lord?  Behold to obey is better than sacrifice…” I Samuel 15:22

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.
