Pastor Doesn't Get to Preach Because God Is Moving!

Mark Virkler's picture

Here is Pastor Art's journal entry after a very powerful service at United Methodist Church where he did not preach because of the extended prayer, praise, worship and prophecies. This is a church where a core of the people hear the voice of God and know how to move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Pray for a fuller manifestation of His glorious presence!


"I want you to hear me and remember.  I am so pleased as you are concerning the leap forward this past Sunday.  You are beginning to walk and even run. You did not get distracted even though the enemy was at work to distract you.  You were willing to let others move in my flow and heart.

So few will allow me to choose the ones I desire and in the way I desire, in that moment I desire them to step forward and use their gifts. My desire is to manifest my presence in a fuller, deeper, wider, higher manner, through signs, wonders, manifestations and glory.

I will walk in your midst and my servants (angels) will dance among you, sing and war through your worship. Do not fix your gaze on outward things, not attendance, nor who is there or who is not there. Nor on the size of the offering. Do not be concerned when in the natural things look poor or small or insignificant. Look to me in the midst of all you do, especially in worship. I can change the outward situation in a flash.

The heart is much harder to change and a heart that fully trusts me and flows in the Spirit is precious indeed. No degree or seminary can teach this - only time, trials and my love can bring this about. It takes decades not years. People are in such a hurry to mature and grow but it takes decades for the process."
