Perfection…Yours or Mine? – Journaling Prayer by LaWanda

Mark Virkler's picture

LaWanda –♪♪ I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice to honor you, O my soul rejoice.  Take joy, my King, in what you hear.  May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear! ♪♪ O Jesus, this is my prayer today.  This is my prayer, dear Lord.


Precious Jesus, it has been 6 days since I sat down before You.  I am dumbfounded when I see this, Lord.  How can this be?  Every day it has been - something.  I said, Lord, that I would do Jesus First.  You first, before computer, before TV, before phone, before ANYTHING else.  I even made a list of what Jesus First was to look like.  Yes, I had those heart episodes and yes, I stayed in the hospital overnight but what about the other 4 days?  O Lord, forgive me.  It scares me that I can so easily, so callously disregard my time with You.  What has amazed me is that I can spend so much time on the computer watching videos.  One just leads to another. And then there are the Astros, Lord.  O Jesus, help me to figure out a way to control this computer time that is so useless.  It is entertainment for sure but I am learning nothing and I am putting myself where temptation can easily penetrate my mind. 

I really saw that this morning when I was watching a video and one of the ads was for the Silva Mind Control Method.  Even though I knew what this was, instead of clicking off of it, Lord, I watched the whole thing.  And it was very seductive.  Another shortcut to success.  But a shortcut without YOU is not a shortcut at all!  Lord Jesus, that is not what I want.  I only want YOU!  Help me, Jesus, to keep my eyes on YOU.  Forgive me, Lord Jesus.  I turn my eyes and my heart to YOU.  Thank you, Lord, that you never leave us and that there is no sin that is not covered by the CROSS!

Jesus – LaWanda, my dear one.  I see everything and I know how distractions begin…And how they grow.  I see you start and I see you stop.  This is what they call life, dear one.  What is different now is that you KNOW that I have said there will be “No More Detours.”  Pauses, yes, even stumbles and bumps in the road, for sure, but detours? NO!  It will not be the perfection that you would like for it to be.  But it WILL be MY perfection, dear one. Just know that these bumps in the road, these pauses, even these stumbles, are PURPOSEFUL, LaWanda, and I WILL use them.  Your eyes may drift but they will ALWAYS come back to ME.  So thank Me for these bumps in the road, dear one.  Know that I will use them to increase your faith and for My glory.  And by the way, WELCOME HOME!!!

Healthier Today Than Yesterday eBook

Mark and Patti Virkler | 103 Pages

I am healthier at age 60 than I was at age 40! That excites me. I want to share with you what I have learned in the last 18 years since I wrote the book Go Natural. I researched and wrote that first book on health when I was 40 years old because my body was beginning to break down. The truths I learned then improved my health and many others have written to tell me that it improved the quality of their health, as well.

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.
