Which Focus: Rapture Me Out of This Hellhole or Anoint Me to Disciple All Nations?

Mark Virkler's picture

Our nation and world are reeling in deception and darkness. Lies are all around us: corrupt elections, corrupt politicians, corrupt news media, corrupt public education, a corrupt CDC, corrupt Supreme Court and governors, corrupt pastors who preach an unanointed church with no power to transform society and a powerful satan who will destroy society. Other atrocities include child sex trafficking, sexual perversion, drugs, hopelessness and pandemic fear. So is this the end? Should I despair? Absolutely NOT!!!


This is God’s ideal time for a revival to spring forth!

“The darker the night the brighter the Light!” He has done it often in the past. There is surely no reason He is not planning on doing it again.

Jesus spoke… "ALL authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matt. 28:18-20). "Stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high." (Lk. 24:49).  “According to your faith be it unto you" (Matt. 9:29).

Note: so we have the option of believing that satan has power or that Jesus has ALL power. Our faith creates our reality. We can create true kingdom reality, or resurrect satan and give him authority in our lives and in our world by believing that satan has power. I choose to believe Jesus has all authority and has given it to us, His church. 

Whose Civilization Is Coming to an End?

This excellent blog by Gary Demar overviews the destructive power of the “rapture focus” rather than the “disciple all nations focus.” It explores the impact of Scofield, Hal Lindsey, John MacArthur and others as they have promoted an eschatology of doom. One of the terrible quotes he mentions from them is “‘Reclaiming’ the culture is a pointless, futile exercise.”  Scofield’s notes have messed up the Church for the last 100 years with this terrible theology, which directly contradicts the biblical command to disciple our nations so, even though I began my Christian walk reading and believing Scofield's Bible notes, I have now rejected such heretical teaching as I grew tired agreeing with the satanic church that evil would increase and take over the world.

I am fulfilling my assignment to disciple nations. For example, we have a totally unique university with the voice of God at the center of 100+ courses. It has students in 129 nations. No other university has done this. We have a homeschool resource library in Western New York which serves 100’s of families assisting them in restoring Christian, biblical education where parents train up their children. Currently, 11% of the nation has switched to homeschooling as the evil of public education has driven them out. It’s exciting to see that a revival of homeschooling is one of God’s antidotes to increased wickedness in the world.

I am commissioned to build hundreds of health centers that focus on natural and spiritual ways to restore health and to raise up over 100 entrepreneurs who will fund ministries. We are preparing for a 50 to 100 year foundation to support and grow our university and healthcare centers as well as to build and maintain a Christian entertainment/education park. We have a school of ministry training program and salvation website, and we ordain ministers, promote Spirit Life Circles worldwide and have co-authored over 50 books. Every project I have succeeded in or plan to accomplish is way beyond my ability. Through the anointing of the Holy Spirit they are being accomplished.


Know that God will anoint you to do things way beyond your natural abilities if you will say, “Yes, Lord!”


"Lord, what miracle do You want to perform through me in regards to discipling nations?"

 Journal out what He speaks as you complete the steps below. Note: Foundational principles underlying the worksheet below can be found here.

Stages

The Bible and Jesus Speak – “My words are LIFE” (Jn. 6:63)

1. Conception

The ears of my heart hear God’s rhema. (Jn. 5:30;

Abraham: Gen. 12:1-3)

Satan was defeated at Calvary and all authority was given to Jesus, and He has given all authority to us. "Lord, what is my assigned area that I am to disciple and bring Your light into?"  Journal out the answer to this question. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof! There is no secular. Every job is spiritual and is ministry. Politics, business, the arts, healthcare, education, etc.

2. Conception

The eyes of my heart see God’s vision of the promise already fulfilled. (Rev. 4:1; Eph. 1:17,18; Gen. 15:5,6)

"Lord, give me a vision of this promise already fulfilled in my life, so I can see, feel and experience this future now, allowing Your reality to be birthed in my spirit." Journal out the pictures which light upon your mind. Then hold this vision daily before your eyes.

3. Incubation

The mind of my heart
dwells continually on God’s rhema and vision.
(Lk. 2:19; Rom. 4:20,21)

I see Your government increasing and satan’s decreasing (Isa.9:7). I see God’s light and power flowing through me. I stand on a hilltop, lighting the areas around me (Matt. 5:13-16).

4. Incubation

I speak God’s promise and vision affirming it
as my personal,
present-tense reality.
(Mk. 11:22-24; Gen. 17:5)

I proclaim the Kingdom of God, just as Paul did, even while in prison (Acts 28:30,31). "Almighty God rules in the realm of mankind (Gen. 17:1; Dan 4:26). You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Rev. 17:14). You are the Most High God and there is no other (Isa. 45:5). You cause ALL things to work out for good (Rom. 8:28)." Speak this truth into the atmosphere daily (Gen. 17:5).

5. Incubation

I act on this completed reality as God instructs me to.
(Matt. 14:14; Gen. 17:23)

"Lord, what are Your plans for the discipling of my nation through my life, anointings, giftings? How am I to lay a platform of righteousness for future generations?" Journal out what He speaks to you.

 

6. Cease fleshly labors

I cease my striving and enter God’s rest. (Heb. 4:9-11;
Gen. 16:2; 17:23)

I rely completely on God’s wisdom, anointing and power flowing through me to bring light to the area(s) assigned to me. "Lord, what strivings of my flesh do You want me to set aside?" Journal out what He speaks. Act on what He says.

 

7. Birthed in God’s time

God brings the miracle to full manifestation in His time. (Gal. 4:4a; Gen. 21:1,2)

"I worship You knowing You are releasing Your Kingdom and Lordship over all, causing ALL things to work out for good as You sweep Your world with revival after revival. Use me in this current revival. I will obey Your instructions. I worship You, the true and the living God! To You be all glory for now and forevermore."

 

A prayer for your government

Lord, remove wicked leaders and exalt righteous leaders. Send Your angels to restore Your earth. Bring revival. Cause Your Church to seek Your presence and Your power (Ps. 105:4)!

Worship

"Joy to the world! The Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Joy to the world! The Savior reigns
He rules the world with truth and grace"

"How great are His signs and how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and His dominion is from generation to generation!" (Dan. 4:3)

"But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment, And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity. The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble; And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; Declare among the peoples His deeds. For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted." (Ps. 9:7-12)

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.
