Repentance from dead works is the first of six foundational experiences (Heb. 6:1,2). In other words, "Stop doing your ideas which produce Ishmaels." Only do what God tells you to do (Rom. 8:14; Jn. 14:10).
In my hunger to live by the Spirit, God guided me to look up all 1200 verses on heart and spirit. (I assume at least a 95% overlap between heart and spirit - Ps. 143:4.) I wanted to know everything God has said about my spirit so I could define it, feel it, detect it, live from it, and communicate these truths with a biblical vocabulary to others.
What I learned is being released in this month's free worldwide video event, “How to Walk by the Spirit 15th Anniversary Edition.” (https://go.cluschoolofthespirit.com/walk-event) The book that is part of this training package leads you into meditation on 500 of the 1200 verses.
Once you complete this training you will be in the top 1% of people in this world who can define and comfortably live tuned to their spirits! You will not need to lean on other people's definitions of Spirit-filled living. YOU WILL KNOW because YOU have meditated on 500 verses. How valuable is that!
The fruit of this skill is that you know how to live as a Spirit-anointed world-changer in whatever skill, vocation, or ministry God has called you to. Isn’t it time for Spirit-anointed Christians to take leadership positions around the world and in every single vocation? Isn’t that God’s plan? We are the ones who disciple nations, so the question is, “What aspect of your nation has God called you to bring under God’s discipline?” Know the answer to this question, and go out and do it. The world desperately needs YOU to stand up and lead!
Take this opportunity to more clearly define and detect your spirit. Become an ever-greater, more Spirit-anointed world-changer.

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.
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.
Explore the many methods Jesus used to heal. Recognize the significance of the fact that more than half the time, the word used for these healings was the Greek word for "therapeutic," which means "cure". Become aware of 28 therapeutic cures which are either mentioned in the Bible or, if not specifically mentioned, are compatible with biblical principles.
This book is my story of how my cardiac event was resolved by combining the best in medical care, Christian spirituality, and nutrition.
I was NOT supposed to have a cardiac event. I ate a healthy diet, exercised several times a week, consumed lots of great nutrition and sought to live destressed by abiding in Christ. This story contains the lessons I learned in the months of healing after having emergency surgery which involved five heart bypasses.
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.
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!
Question: How do I handle my sexuality? It is such an intense, persistent and driving force. I battle with pornography. How do I tame this monster within me? I see so many people and even Christian leaders fall, and I don't want to fall. I want this to work! I feel trapped and no-one is preaching a sermon on how to handle this. So I grit my teeth, try my hardest, and fail over and over again, and then get consumed with shame. Can you help me? Have you found any answers that work?
This brief booklet walks a person through the main obstacles to speaking in tongues, and shows how each one can be successfully overcome. It is down-to-earth, practical and biblical, and in it Mark Virkler shares the struggles he went through before he was able to speak in tongues. Some were theological issues and some simply practical issues, like the fact that if I am going to speak in tongues, I will need to speak. Otherwise, nothing happens.
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.
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.
