How-To for Spirit-Anointed Living with Mark Virkler

Jesus modeled a lifestyle of living constantly in the anointing. Let us do the same, and not fall out of the anointing as Abraham did when he created an Ishmael.

I choose to be anointed!

Grieving the Holy Spirit brings great calamity to a person. Being led by the Spirit of God shows we are sons of God (Rom. 8:14).

Why did God become an enemy of Israel?
I shall make mention of the loving kindnesses of the LORD, the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has granted us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has granted them according to His compassion And according to the abundance of His loving kindnesses. For He said, "Surely, they are My people, Sons who will not deal falsely." So He became their Savior. In all their affliction, He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; In His love and in His mercy, He redeemed them, and He lifted them and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them (Isa 63:7-10).

Wow! Because Israel rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, God turned Himself into their enemy. What do we learn? Do NOT grieve the Holy Spirit!

Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? (Gal. 3:3)  Following is one huge mistake that is easy to make. Let's be aware so we don't make this error.

Two stories, two paths (anointed vs. self-effort)
Every morning, I pray and receive God’s instructions to me and journal them out to act on them. Is this all good? YES!

So, is there something more I should be doing to release His anointing to accomplish His supernatural results during the day? YES, there is!

The Bible emphatically declares that we experience life when we live out of the wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit and we are cursed if we trust in our own strength.

       "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words (rhemas) that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life (Jn. 6:63).

       Thus says the LORD, "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD (Jer. 17:5).

These verses really make me passionate to fully understand and embrace His power!

For those of us hungering to see more of the miracle-working power of God released through us, we present this paper which explores in depth one of the three Greek words translated “power” in the New Testament. The summary below deals with Energeo, which is the active flow of God’s healing power out through our hands as we lay them on the sick.

Elon Musk innovates in every area he touches. Musk explains his unique approach, which he calls "First Principles." It begins with the deconstruction of any ideas about the topic that cannot be proven as absolutely true. He then builds up from these. He states that if you are not ultimately required to add at least 10% back in, then you didn't throw away enough during the initial destruction phase.  I wondered if I was using the same or a similar approach when I approached a topic in the Bible, and if that is why I receive new insights in every area I have explored.

I hosted a 20-minute interview with Boris, who has taken about 1500 Russian-speaking people through the full course on Hearing God’s Voice. Here is our exciting conversation!

Original blog with video available here.

A suggested way you could share the four keys to hearing Gods voice - Weekly meeting design for a 1 hour or 2-hour meeting 

1. Greeting – fun chatting as people arrive
2. Lesson review 15 min – key points from the assigned video(s) they watched (Can choose to watch 1 or 2 videos per week). Or you can share your Zoom screen and watch a 1 hour video together). It would be best for people to have obtained the books 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice and LEARN 4 Keys workbook). 
3. Journaling for 8 min (Quiet journaling time where they complete the assigned journaling questions – assumption being that even though these were assigned to be done before class, people will not have them done) 
4. Breakout rooms - 3 people in each room (10 min/person to read their journaling and be affirmed). This creates a trusting family atmosphere, and people gain confidence that they are hearing God’s voice.
5. Main room – people come back to the main group and share testimonies, ask questions, and close with prayer 

• Close the meeting by informing them of the next video lesson and homework.
• Currently, Boris is running 3 simultaneous 4-key groups.

Journaling application

Hearing God's voice is as simple as: 1) quieting down (Ps. 62:1-5), 2) beholding Jesus at my right hand (Ps. 16:8; Acts 2:25), 3) asking for His revelation and tuning to flowing thoughts and flowing pictures (Jn. 7:37-39; Jer. 2:13; 10 pictures), and 4) recording this flow (Hab. 2:1,2; Rev. 1:9-11). I then test it, ensuring it lines up with Scripture (Ps. 1:2; Jn. 10:35; 1 Thess. 5:2) and is affirmed in the hearts of my three spiritual advisors (2 Cor. 13:1; Prov. 11:14). See this link.

Lord, how would you have me share the 4 keys to hearing Your voice with those whom I touch?

Having noted that I can pray up to four times (or more) for healing, I have been asked the question, "Why do I need to command the healing more than once? Why isn't once enough?" So since I had never asked God that question, I decided to journal about it. I have noticed that many times not much happens the first time I command a healing, but if I do it immediately again, very often a level of healing occurs, and if I do it again, then an even greater healing is manifest, so...

Question: What could possibly be the value of me saying a prayer, or speaking a confession, or commanding a healing, over and over again? It seems like a waste of time, since my mind heard it the first time. Shouldn't it be enough to pray once then move on to another topic? Is there a reason I should repeat the same thing twice a day?

Answer: There is great value in repetition. God often established that a ritual be done both morning and evening (1 Chron. 16:40; 23:30; 2 Chron. 2:4; 13:11; 31:3; Ezra 3:3).

They are to stand every morning to thank and to praise the LORD, and likewise at evening (1 Chron. 23:30).
