Does a quiet spirit mean I need to be quiet? Journaling by Linda Garmon

Mark Virkler's picture

1 Peter 3:3,4 - "Your adornment must not be merely the external—braiding the hair, wearing gold jewelry, or putting on apparel; But it should be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God."


Linda - Lord, I have to admit this verse bumped me sideways a little bit, and then I realized that I might not be reading and understanding it correctly. I always assumed that I didn’t fit in this category, especially the quiet part, though I am practicing. Lord, I want You to correct me and my thoughts about this verse.

 Jesus - Beloved one, you are precious in My sight.  Don’t you dare ever think otherwise! I made you like you are by design.

These verses are a reminder that it’s not what you see on the outside that should be valued, because the outer man is temporal. Be a good steward with this temporal body so that you fulfill all your days, but there is something better waiting that is eternal. The things that we share in the secret place are what is valuable and it is My desire that all that you see, hear, feel, and experience in our times together mark you for life. 

The humble spirit is the one who realizes that their source of strength is not within themselves, but in their union with Me. Beloved, this same one will have a quiet/undisturbed spirit regardless of outward circumstances. They will have unexplainable joy right in the middle of trials that would destroy others. How do you think Paul and Silas could still sing while in jail and after being beaten? Look at the influence this had on those around them. Can you see why I say that this is extremely valuable? Beloved, there is a lost world looking for evidence of My love, My joy, My power. Beloved, I am not asking you to be quiet. I am asking that you lean into Me as your source for all your life and let this be obvious in your words, attitudes, and actions.

This lifestyle IS very precious, extremely valuable, and costly in My sight.

Linda - Thank You, Lord...I love You.

How Do YOU Know? Digital Videos

by Mark Virkler | 12 MP4 Sessions

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this series.

Can I succeed like others have? What do I need to do? How do I go about it? What if I don't have the gifts necessary to do something great?  The wonderful truth revealed in Scripture is that God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary feats, especially when they say, "Yes, Lord" to the destiny He has prepared for them!

How to Speak in Tongues Video Download

Speaking in tongues involves a miracle wherein you yield your vocal cords to the flow of the Holy Spirit, trusting that God is forming the syllables you speak into a language. It may be a language of men or of angels (1 Cor. 13:1). You choose to speak (Acts 2:4) but you choose not to form the syllables consciously, and instead let the Spirit give the utterance (Acts:2:4). The goal of this short teaching is to help people understand the part they need to play and the part the Holy Spirit plays when it comes to the miracle of speaking in tongues.

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.

In this powerful message, Mark will show you how God filled the five senses of Abraham’s spirit with His truth and birthed a miracle out through him. And you will learn how you can walk in the same faith while you hear, see, ponder, speak and act out of the Father’s initiative, allowing Him alone to fill the senses of your spirit.

Mark and Charity have teamed up again to create a training series on how to easily manifest the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. It took us several years to break through all the confusion, and present a clear, simple understanding of how to release the nine-fold manifestation of the Holy Spirit everywhere you go and with everyone you touch. It is not hard! It can’t be since these are gifts of the Holy Spirit, not things you have to work for.
