Ministering in Teams of Two: A Prophet and a Teacher Mark Virkler
Jesus sent His disciples out to minister two by two (Mark 6:7). The book of Acts also says that the apostles went out in teams of two, and suggests perhaps a prophet and a teacher (Acts 13:1-3). This would most likely be a right-brain prophet and a left-brain teacher working together and honoring the gifts within each other. Let me share an example of this kind of ministry that just happened to me in California where I was teaching at a Wagner Leadership Institute - Korean American.

A pastor in the group shared that he had a pain in his intestines for the last four months and, though he had laid hands on himself, he had not improved. What could I suggest? I invited him to the front for prayer, and asked for a right-brain seer to volunteer to come forward also to look for vision as we prayed.

I asked him what happened in his life four months earlier, when the pain had begun. He said that there was nothing that he could remember. So we began to pray.

The prophet saw in a vision that four months earlier the Lord had offered him a basket of fruit and he had not been able to receive it. The pastor then remembered that it was at that time that he had earnestly sought God for the gift of tongues, and not received it. He was very disappointed and pained in his spirit that God had not answered his prayer.

Well, the pain in his spirit had produced a pain in his body. He repented of his distrust toward God and asked forgiveness for this sin. We commanded the pain to leave his body, and it did. I then offered some left-brain teaching on how to receive the gift of tongues. We went to Acts 2:4 and helped him see that they spoke as the Spirit gave the utterance, and if he wanted to speak in tongues, he had to speak and let the Spirit guide the formation of the syllables (i.e., tune to flow and whatever syllables flowed out, that would be from the River of God within John 7:37-39).

It is like Peter who walked on the water. Peter had to walk (which was a natural phenomenon), but Jesus kept his feet from sinking (which was a supernatural phenomenon). For a miracle to happen, there is often a natural and a supernatural component. We do the natural thing God asks us to do (in the case of speaking in tongues, this is to speak), and let God do the supernatural (which in this case is to let the formation of the syllables come from our spirits i.e., from flow, and not control the formation of the syllables with our minds). The result is a supernatural language miracle in which we speak in tongues. (This teaching is found in our booklet How to Receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.)

We prayed together with the pastor, instructing him to worship first in his native language, and then to worship using flow, not directing the syllables himself. He did this and began speaking in tongues!

So the healing was complete. No more pain in his spirit or his body. And he received the basket of fruit which the Lord had offered that he did not know how to receive four months earlier.

A prophet and a teacher ministered together, honoring both the right-brain prophet and the left-brain teacher and the results were spectacular. Why dont you team up with someone with a different gifting than yours and minister Gods grace together? The results will be amazing! Glory be to God!

 

 

Radiating Gods Glory: Another Baptism in the Holy Spirit Testimony S. Michael Lund, Bolivia
I had a first-time experience the other night. A young lady in the Womens Rehab Center (who has only known the Lord about two months) came forward for prayer after a word on the perfect love of God.

When I asked what she was seeking, she said: More of God. Immediately, I SAW her faith. I saw her surrendered and open and fully trusting herself into Gods hands to do whatever He wanted in that moment. There were three visiting missionaries who had already started to pray. I was interpreting their prayers. But really, I was just waiting (respectfully) for them to stop (become still) so that the Holy Spirit could direct what needed to take place.

Soon, everyone became quiet. All three missionaries and Daisy were laying hands on Erika and were quietly praying under their breath. Whether in the spirit or the understanding, I dont know. But as I watched Erika, I saw a faith in her that could have received ANYTHING in that moment. Then, in my spirit, I saw myself placing my hands on either side of her face and asking her if she wanted to be saturated with the full Presence of the Holy Spirit. I asked her to open her eyes and look at me. (I told everyone else to continue praying quietly.) And I asked her the question.

The rest is a little hard to describe. I asked her the question and she said yes. I asked if I could put my hands on the sides of her face. And again, she said, yes. Please pray with me, I said. Then I led her in prayer as I felt the Lord leading me to ask the Lord: Saturate me, spirit, soul, and body with the fullness of Your Spirit. And when she prayed that, she received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit without any biblical instruction at all.

Now that in itself (receiving without biblical instruction) was a first for me, but not the first I am talking about...

It is my habit when I pray with people to receive the Holy Spirit, that when they do, and when tongues manifest, I allow them to pray in tongues for maybe 30 seconds...and then I stop them. [The purpose is that they may see that this form of praying in the spirit is under the control of their will...not something conferred upon them randomly at times like the gift of tongues & interpretation.]

Anyway, they always find my stopping them strange, because they of course want to continue. But I make them stop and speak to me in their language of understanding then go back to praying in tongues then back to their understanding once more. And then we go back to praying in the Spirit for as long as they like; allowing the Lord to use it as He will.

The other night however, this did not work out exactly like this...

When I asked Erika to stop; she did. But then...calm, quiet, looking me in the eye; when I asked that she speak to me in Spanish, she couldnt! I mean, she literally did not seem to be able to respond to me in her language. She tried. But tongues came out. It wasnt emotional. It was all calm. She had to be told that what she was saying was not Spanish. She recognized that. Tried again. Nothing but tongues.

Then I said: Look at me. And looking her in the eye, it was like she was in some kind of a trance. And I felt led to encourage her to continue praying in the spirit. To worship the Lord SEEING Him in His resurrected glory.

She spontaneously began again (like she had been praying in the spirit for years) and as I watched, her face literally radiated the glory of the Lord in an indescribable way that became stronger as she prayed! (And the effect that had on the other people who experienced it was a deep humbling; myself included.)

I have seen in measure and experienced the glory of the Lord on a person at other times, but never like this and never the face shining in this way. It was so marvelous! (Even this morning I woke up thinking about it, spontaneously praising the Lord saying, That was SO beautiful, Lord!) Personally, it is one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had.

I learned again from this that the Lord is immeasurably spontaneous and that I must always be ready to bend my experiential habits for what is His perfect will in any given situation or moment. Key is allowing Him to do what He wants in that moment to glorify His Name versus ask that He come and do what we want; because He will always do exceedingly, abundantly MORE than we can think or ask!

Catching the Initiatives of Heaven: How to Draw on Gods Voice and Vision to Minister Healing Dennis and Lynnie Walker
I (Dennis) once asked the Lord, How did You heal the sick and move in miracles? The answer came in John 5:19. Jesus said The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. This is how Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead and moved in miracles: He saw what His Father was doing in heaven and copied it on earth. He caught the divine initiatives of heaven.

Saltillo, Mexico A lady came forward for prayer. She was wearing thick glasses and her eyes had a white substance covering them. Instead of praying as usual with an automatic learned prayer, I (Dennis) stepped back, closed my eyes, and asked Jesus what He was doing. I saw a picture of both thumbs wiping the eyes. I can do that! I said. So I stepped forward, asked the lady to remove her glasses, and with my thumbs, made the same wiping motion. Open your eyes! I commanded. She opened her eyes, and screamed out, waving her glasses in the air, I dont need these anymore! I dont need these anymore! Her eyes were crystal clear.

Cusco, Peru I (Dennis) was asked to pray for a woman who had gallstones. She was also in the late stages of pregnancy and the doctors told her they would not operate until the baby was born. She was in tremendous pain. I got quiet and asked Jesus what He was doing. Immediately I saw Jesus stretch out His hand to offer her a cup with 1/4 cup of hot water in it. I asked the husband to bring a cup of hot water and when he had done this, I poured it out until it was only 1/4 full. I then told her to drink this to release the life of heaven in her body. When she drank the water, a wave of heat went over her and she was instantly delivered of all pain. Several ministers from the USA were there in the room and can confirm these facts.

Blackpool, England I had an impression that there was someone in the meeting with a compressed disc in the spinal column and that they were in constant pain and losing strength in their legs. One of the pastors present raised his hand indicating that this was his condition. I had him come forward and I saw in a vision where on his back the condition existed. He confirmed that it was true.

Then the Lord spoke in my thoughts to lay my hand on the place on his back and to say nothing. I did this and after more than a minute of silence I felt the vertebrae move beneath my hand. He felt it as well and immediately all the pain left and the strength returned. He began jumping and then touching his toes and told us of his healing. This man wrote me one year later saying he had not had one pain there since I had received that initiative.

I (Lynnie) did a study and found that Jesus healed blind people five different ways! Once, He said, Your faith has made you whole. (Mk. 10:52) Another time He cast out a demon (Matt. 12:22), and another time He made mud and put it on the blind mans eyes, and then told him to wash (Jn. 9:6). He was catching divine initiatives from His Father in heaven, bringing miracles to earth. And we should follow His example.

Here in Las Vegas at Dunamis ARC (Apostolic Resource Center) we train everyone how to move in healing, the prophetic, and in miracles by catching initiatives from heaven. (Dunamis means power Acts 1:8.)

Every week we have people line up to tell their spoils of war how God used them in miracles on the streets of Las Vegas. If God can do it here, He can do it anywhere! God is raising an army who can catch the initiatives of heaven, bringing the miraculous flow of power from heaven to earth. See www.DunamisARC.org for teaching CDs, DVDs, and books.

 

 

The Easiest Way I Have Ever Found to Lose Weight! Mark Virkler
A few months ago I received an email from Lynnie (see above story). She mentioned that she had used some homeopathic drops in a weight loss diet and dropped from size 12 to size 4 in two months, and that she had kept it off for a year after stopping the drops. I had given up on the idea that I could lose weight. I really enjoy food and when I did summon up the commitment to eat less, I was always hungry and felt weak. So it was a battle of my flesh warring against my flesh which I dreaded, and I had resigned myself to the idea that I would just go into old age being heavy.

Well, that has changed, because I just lost 34 pounds in 43 days (and 6 inches off my waist) with no weakness and no hunger. And the two others in our offices who have tried it have also lost an average of 5 6 pounds per week for each week they have been on this diet. The diet goes from a minimum of three weeks to a maximum of six weeks and then you cycle off it for 21 days. You can read more about my weight loss testimony here as well as order the homeopathic drops.

A How to Hear Gods Voice Small Group Reaches Out on Facebook
Our daughter and son-in-law wanted to go through the [How to Hear Gods Voice] course. My wife had taken the course with the womens group at our church. We decided to open it up to others who were interested. We posted on Facebook that we were going to start the course the first week of January and put a link to your website on our status updates.

We had four people respond that they were interested and some had already checked the website and were excited. Our daughter and son-in-law brought two friends and each of the four people brought others and before we knew it we had seventeen people, seven of whom we didnt know!

After each class we put a brief post on Facebook. This gives people in the class a chance to share their enthusiasm and it generates more interest. We have had to turn some people away and say that we will be starting the course again in April if people are interested. We will go through the same process again before we start the next session. Thank you for your ministry!!

Downloadable Right/Left-Brain Test
www.cwgministries.org/brain
We now have available for you an electronic self-scoring brain preference indicator test which replaces the one that used to be in the book How to Hear Gods Voice. I took the test a few weeks ago and found I am still left-brain by nature. The old test gave me a 4.5 (where 5.0 was perfectly balanced and 10 was completely right-brain). The new test gives me a left-brain score of 56 and a right-brain score of 44, which is essentially the same relationship between left- and right-brain. It also shows me with an auditory score of 61 and a visual score of 39, which again says I am a left-brain.

So instinctively nothing changes, although at this point in my life I do know how to purposely step from the left to the right side of my brain so I can receive spontaneous thoughts and spontaneous pictures from the Lord. Give the test a try and pass it around to your friends, and then encourage them to get the book How to Hear Gods Voice so they can learn to quickly come into whole brain balance and more easily catch the initiatives of heaven.

 

Haitis National Days of Prayer & Fasting
The government recently proclaimed three days of prayer and fasting where up to 1 million participated! Pattis sister said, I was in Haiti during this time and saw some gatherings. How wonderful! On Sunday when we entered Port-au-Prince, the churches were packed with people on the streets praising God. It was great! There are definitely good things happening there for God. Not sure the President is in on them honestly, but the people are. We saw many, many Christians who will be well ahead of me in line for crowns. Watch a powerful four-minute video of the historic event and rejoice in what God is doing in this nation!
