Every Act of Obedience Puts Satan on Notice - Journaling Prayer by LaWanda

Mark Virkler's picture

LaWanda – O Lord Jesus, I bow before you today, this day of remembrance of the 9/11 terrorists attacks.  As I watch the stories of survivors, it brought back to my mind the absolute horror of that day.  Thank you, Lord, that there have not been more attacks since then and I pray, Lord, that you would protect us even now.  Jesus, we as a country do not deserve it, but we ask it because you are merciful.  Protect us from this EVIL, Lord.


I see you today, Lord, sitting beside me.  It is as in those days when I was getting up at 3am to pray and you would, as I was praying, “give me” all those other things to do later.  You spoke to me so much as I was interceding for others.  And I see from today that is what you want to do again.  As I am interceding, as I am reading my Bible, as I am writing my Journaling Prayer, you are bringing things to mind for me.   Thank you, Jesus, that this season has returned.  Thank you for your grace on this new season, Lord Jesus.  I praise you and give you honor and Glory, Lord.  Thank you, my precious, precious Jesus

Jesus – LaWanda, dear one, my precious, precious child.  How I love you.  I love it when we sit together and you listen as Holy Spirit whispers in your ear.  Because you have learned what our voice sounds like, it is easy to hear.  All that is left is for you to obey.

This morning as you read your Journaling Prayer from 2019, it inspired you.  It reminded you of My presence and how I have continually revealed Myself to you since you started this process.  And all because you have come to sit before Me.   How many times have I said, “In order to receive, you must be in a place to receive.”?  And that is what your coming has done.  It has put you in a place to receive.  How could I NOT pour Myself out on you when you tell Me, “…Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for your fire to fall upon me.”?  How could I NOT?  The very act of your coming to sit before Me is a form of worship, dear one, and as I said in the Passion, “Your loving eyes of worship have uncovered my heart and laid it bare for you.”*

As you continue on this journey with Me, LaWanda, the best REALLY is yet to come, for your heart has never been intwined with mine the way it is now.  Now that I have brought, “I cannot bear to do another thing I do not want to do” up for healing, you have been set free.  You have no idea of how this has changed things.  None of the old mindsets remain entrenched.  They are still there but every time you obey My promptings, they are diminished!  Every time!!!

Your obedience is the key to KEEPING your mental and emotional freedom.  Every act of obedience puts Satan on notice that he no longer holds ground where he once did.  He will not like it and will continue to poke and prod, hoping to break through.  But every act of your obedience will strengthen the wall of faith through which he now cannot enter.  For every time he tries, you will be like David when he faced Goliath, saying:

You come to me with a sword of negative thinking, past behavior and old beliefs that are no longer true.  Strongholds that have already been dismantled.  But I come to you in the Name  of Jesus the Christ, the Lord of Hosts, whom you have defied.  This day…in this VERY moment, the Lord has delivered me from your assault and you shall NOT prevail.  This battle is the Lord’s  and the outcome was decided before you were even created.  ♪♪ My God is an awesome God who reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love, My God is an awesome God. ♪♪  Now get OUT…LEAVE…in the MIGHTY Name of Jesus.  **

O yes, dear one, your best days TRULY are yet to come.  You have been set free and it will show up in a multitude of ways.  Better sleep.  More energy. Less procrastination.  Actually doing those things you truly WANT to do!  Speaking with a HOLY BOLDNESS like never before, for the old wounds are no longer there to hold you back.   It is like a Coke bottle that has been shaken up and then uncapped.  This is the force with which you are moving forward, dear one. And know, in no uncertain terms, that I AM IN IT.  I AM in it ALL!

*************

* “He is saying that your loving eyes of worship have uncovered His heart and laid it bare, making Him vulnerable to you. Your worship brings Him such an ecstasy and delight that it becomes hard to even imagine.  Yet God has placed inside of you the ability to ravish the heart of your King – not someday in heaven, but now, even when you feel incomplete and weak.”  Song of Song 4:9 TPT notes.

** I Samuel 17:45-46, LaWanda’s paraphrase.

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation ebook

Unlocking fresh revelation daily - by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know? eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

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 various methods for discovering truth such as: 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.

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages

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.

Imagine That eBook

Imagine That eBook

by Rev. Jimmy D. Smith | 85 Pages

Beginning sometime around my 72nd year, my imagination really started to wake up again.  I was reading Dialogue with God, by Mark and Patti Virkler, when wheels began to turn.  In the weeks that followed I decided that this was a “do” book, not just a “read to learn” book. I began to do what the book suggested. Somewhere along the line I felt that the Lord gave me permission to experience the freedom of using my imagination to worship Him, to talk to Him, and more importantly to hear from Him.
