Have you ever noticed how many supernatural visions surrounded the birth of Jesus? Both during the day, and at night while asleep, people were being visited by angels, receiving prophetic revelation, and having interactive conversations with the company of heaven.

Last week, Shawn Bolz and I got together to talk about this, and what it all has to do with our everyday lives. What can we learn from the examples of Zacharias and Mary and Joseph and the shepherds? What are the takeaway principles for us? How is it relevant, and why do we care?

I had the privilege of interviewing Joshua Mills last week to discuss his excellent new book, Creative Glory - Embracing the Realm of Divine Expression. His passion is to help Christians access the limitless creativity available to them through the Holy Spirit's anointing.

Joshua points out that our heavenly Father is introduced to us in Scripture initially as Creator. Genesis 1:1 tells us that, "In the beginning, God created...." Now God could have introduced Himself to us with any one of His hundreds of attributes, but creativity was the one chosen. While many of us know the Lord as Savior, Healer, and Deliverer, in this season He is inviting us to know Him more intimately as Creator, allowing His Spirit of Creativity to flow in our hearts and out through our lives, transforming every sphere of society. 

This week I had the pleasure of being hosted by Zoey and Jenna on their prophetic podcast, The Table. I met Zoey in New Zealand when she attended an Everyday Angels event on our most recent ministry trip Down Under. I am so proud of her, because since then she has been putting into practice everything she learned, partnering with angels, and even teaching others how to do the same!

Recently my dad, Mark Virkler, was invited to join Shawn Bolz on his extremely popular Exploring the Prophetic podcast and they had a great time together. It was awesome to hear how God has used their ministries in such complementary and synergistic ways over the years, and you can get the whole scoop in my dad’s blog post here.
