This 40 page guide e-Workbook provides you copies of 113 PowerPoint utilized in the Decoding Decoding Deception training. Spaces for you to take notes are available next to each PowerPoint. If receiving training in a group, we highly recommend that EVERY member of the group have their own copy. It offers you the following four benefits:

Deepened Learning Through Note-Taking

The opportunity to take notes deepens the learning experience. When you write something with your own hand, it is a much stronger learning experience than simply hearing it. God puts a BIG emphasis on writing as a way of learning. Look at His very first requirement of anyone who became a king in Israel:

“Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one before the priests, the Levites. And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes, that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, and that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel” (Deut. 17:18-20).

Greater Internalization Through Previewing and Reviewing the Key Ideas

The seminar guide/notebook also gives you an opportunity to easily preview and review the teaching. None of us catches everything the first time through and as you review it several times, you will pick up things you did not hear before. More truths will begin to "click" and more lights come on!

This process of repeated review results in greater revelation and greater personal transformation. Jesus urged us to cultivate and give attention to new ideas being sown in our hearts until they bear a crop of 30, 60 or 100 fold (Matt. 13:18-23). So listen, review and focus until God has granted you personal revelation and transformation! Anything short of this causes the seed to be aborted and die. Hearing without doing is a waste, the Bible says (James 2:17).

Application Exercises Allow God to Speak Directly to Your Heart

Application exercises are included in the seminar guide/notebook for class times and for increasing personal revelation at home. Hearing a truth is one thing. Letting God speak to you concerning how to apply it in your life is another. These application exercises will give you the opportunity to seek God and ask Him what He wants to say to you concerning the truth, and how He wants to see it applied in your life. This is exactly what you need to hear and act upon. This is spiritual growth and development. Please review our short article on "How to Cultivate Christian Spirituality."

Interactive Group Activities Cultivate Sharing of Revelations Together

Suggestions for group activities which promote seeking God together and a lively interaction where people are encouraged to share the revelation they are receiving are also included. This helps avoid lecture which can easily become boring. The activities are well designed so people are not just "spouting off" and sharing ignorance but instead are sharing together what God is revealing to them.

Testimonies from some who have received this training

Lynne decides to LOVE new challenges

Mark stated: "The key to anointing in any area is faith energized by love. God's anointing does not ride on the waves of hate and fear." This perspective has made me look at unpleasant situations in a completely different light. When I am asked to do something that I don't like doing or think I'm not good at, I stop and say to myself instead, "I love this new challenge" or, "I am blessed by this task." When I approach all areas of my life with an attitude of love and excitement, I see the Lord's hand at work. This has been an amazing revelation for me.

Kristie discovered new ways to combine the Bible and the Spirit

I loved the focus on the harmony of using both the logos and rhema of God's Word for greater intimacy during our communion with Him! Dr. Virkler provided great opportunities for us to practice interacting with both!

Naomi now seeks truth from a joyful place of rest, not striving

Dr. Virkler reminded us of the beautiful harmony of honoring God’s Word through Holy Spirit revelation. I came away feeling encouraged to keep seeking truth from a place of joyful rest, not striving and self-effort.

Abigail learns to embrace the biblical word “meditation”

The discussion regarding biblical meditation was liberating for me. The way the world defined it made me avoid it. My new biblical definition of meditation, which includes hearing God’s voice, changes the way I receive from the Word of God.

Rebecca discovers she can love motherhood

Mark stated that hating something stops the flow of God for him to prosper in that area. But once he asks God to help him love it, he can flourish in whatever it is. That stuck with me because I tend to think that I hate motherhood. God is changing my heart from hating motherhood to putting love in my heart for it. This is changing me. The biggest difference is how much more peace I have. I no longer need to make sure every offense gets consequences for it. I feel I am more on my children’s team instead of being a dictator who is enforcing rules and orders all day.
