so father My Cry My Cry is that you
would impart a Grace for this right now
that we would find our hearts burning
for you at the most unusual and
sometimes awkward times sitting on the
plane in the hotel wherever just that we
would be a people that just knew how to
cultivate The Burning Heart of affection
that refuses to be offended that refuses
to embrace resentment and all the stuff
because our hearts are burning for
you saw a sign that was great a church a
picture of a sign at a church the
Marquee out front said it’s too hot
outside to keep changing this
sign I thought man maybe they’re from
Reading it’s too hot outside to keep
changing the sign underneath it just
said sin bad Jesus good details
inside that’s that’s one of the best
Church mares I’ve seen details inside

awesome the pastor

Pearly Gates ahead of him is a guy who’s

Prayed this is the second week of uh I I
think we’re doing is it three weeks or
four three or four weeks on the subject
of prayer I think it’s is it
three or four anyway there’s more
coming uh my wife started last week with
uh a message on prayer wonderful word
and uh they asked if I do the second one
and I I love uh I I love so many
subjects I perhaps the one that rocks me
the most in some ways is the subject of
prayer I when I was growing up in my uh
coming into early adulthood uh late
teens I I hated reading and I read one
one book uh my whole life through school
I I faked every book
report I oh I did and I I just I hated
to read I read one book in the eth
grade about a hot rod go
figure I still remember details of that
book that marked my life just want you
to
know but I I remember um when
I I said that abandoning all for Jesus
yes I became an Avid Reader
immediately and uh which was a miracle
all by itself I remember I would consume
books especially on prayer I remember
reading I think it was seven or eight
books back to back to back just just
continuously read about prayer so prayer
the whole issue of prayer the privilege
of communing with God of praying making
a difference in the course of history is
a huge part of life so I I have many
things that I’ve taught on through the
years some that I I I kind of had three
different things chosen to do this
morning to
see Flip Flip a three-sided coin to see
which one to
do um but when it came time to speak uh
in the first service here I my heart was
just just turning towards one thing and
it’s it’s not a teaching as much as it
is just a conversation it’s if I feels
like a fireside chat if we go outside
it’ll be absolutely like a fire side
that it is hot out
there um I had an interesting experience
here about a week or two ago uh and
another experience a week or so before
that let me just take you through them
about a week or so ago I I uh I woke
up in the middle of the night I don’t
remember now use a restroom or something
I woke up but I began to ponder and
think about a particular problem that
concerned me and and if you’re anything
like me uh the wheels get going and it’s
really hard to get back to sleep and so
I was I was locked in awake mode and the
crazy thing is when you start when you
function like that all you’re doing is
messing with problems you can’t fix you
know it’s just it’s got to be the worst
waste of time ever but anyway I I um I
was contemplating thinking about that I
just couldn’t get back to sleep and
finally it was maybe 20 minutes before
it was time for me to get up I I dozed
off and and it’s when I woke at that
moment I was to wake up when I woke up I
immediately had this
thought that my worship was replaced by
worry worship was replaced by worry let
me give you a
context something that I learned to do
uh quite a few years
ago was um if I were to uh I’ve been
asked like by our students and stuff
what’s the strength of my life if I were
to reduce everything that I am in due
down to one thing I would say probably
the strength of my life is my affection
for him it’s my
adoration um because it it uh what
happens is you you find your heart just
burning for him in ways that don’t
need
Works
although I’m not going to say anything
correctly so just get used to it now and
sort out my words and make it make sense
all right just help me out here uh it
it’s it’s not a song that I sing it’s
not my hands raised it’s not kneeling
it’s just a burning heart for Him and
and the King uh King Solomon made this
statement in Song of Solomon he said um
in the song of songs he said though I
sleep yet my heart is
awake and uh a number of years ago I I
learned that I could as I was going to
sleep at night I would just lay there
and turn my heart of My Affection
towards the Lord and in that moment
there would just be this engagement with
him as just the sensing of presence and
and there would just be the this
engagement with him and I I began to
discover that you have a better day if
you have a better night and uh and in
Genesis it says on creation it says
there was night and day which made up
the first day so biblically our day
actually Begins the night before that’s
when it starts is is at night so I I
I’ve been learning that um I just turned
my affection towards him and in that
place of a presence
uh such presence and peace comes over me
it’s just very easy for me to go to
sleep and in that place it doesn’t
matter if I’m on an airplane or or if
I’m at home in bed or you know a hotel
somewhere um that’s what I do is I turn
my affection towards him and just as
soon as that presence begins to settle
on me um just great peace I just go to
sleep if I wake up in the night for
whatever reason uh it’s been I don’t
want to say it’s 100% because I don’t
think I do anything 100% successful
um
but the majority of the time by far the
majority of the time if I wake up in the
night I instinctively instantly turn my
affection back towards him and this
particular night I didn’t and when I got
up in the morning I felt like the Lord
spoke to me and he said worry replace
worship and I’d probably done that a
thousand times in my life but it was the
only time I had him actually speak into
the situation that I recall
worry replace worship it’d be like
sitting at a table and sitting at a
table of worship and instead I chose to
give seat to fear to anxiety to worry
all that
stuff and it it it you know how when you
have the Lord speak to you things become
clear that have been cloudy
forever and suddenly in that moment I
knew and it helped me to understand
something that happened a week or two
before
that if if you can imagine with with me
again I’ve already said I don’t do this
100% of a time but but it’s it is
dominant it’s predominant part feature
of my life is this sense of uh of
affection for the
Lord in the middle of the day just
driving down the street sitting in my
office it doesn’t matter when I just
consciously will turn my affection
towards him and he’s such a lover he’s
just drawn to that and I don’t know if
he comes or if I go or if I just become
aware I don’t care I let the theologians
figure out right now I just enjoy
turning my affection towards him and he
will come and he’ll he’ll just rest upon
me and it it makes such a huge it’s such
a huge part of my life that burning
affection for him I love that song by uh
Martin Smith Delirious my heart burns
for you that’s just that phrase is
actually one of my favorite phrases in
all of literally in all of church
history of of music that I’ve heard and
uh if you can imagine doing that day
after day after day for an extended
season and then I
remember um I I woke up one
day and it’s very hard to explain to you
how many of you remember when you were
children uh small kids and you the first
time you spent the night at somebody
else’s house and you felt homesick or
you went to summer camp and you were
just dying with home I remember that
maybe some of you are probably just glad
to get out of the house but there was a
few of us that struggled with homes
Chris was glad to get out of the house I
was homesick so he never felt homesick
all right well I
have I woke up that morning this is hard
to explain but let me do my best I woke
up that morning and I felt
homesick and I wasn’t sure why in that
initial moment I felt homesick just
empty and I I woke up and I began to
ponder and think and I realized oh last
night I didn’t turn my affection towards
him hard to describe were abiding
presence actually becomes
home abiding presence actually is like a
room that you’re in it’s like it’s like
the place where you
live I woke up with that homesickness
feeling thankfully I could see it
clearly so I I knew what to do but the
point I want to make is is something
about this affection for the Lord the
subject for today is prayer so we’ll get
there but I have found in my own
personal life is
that being a
worshipper is what positions me to pray
effectively I uh how many of you
remember back in the the caveman days
when there was this thing called
cassette
tapes remember that and even before that
at Trak and yeah all right but we’ll
just go to cassette tapes just I
remember getting a cassette tape of a
teaching by a great man of God named
Derek Prince anybody remember Derek
Prince great Bible teacher especially
from the
70s and um I I remember listening to
this this tape and in this tape he was
talking about worship prayer and he made
this statement he said if you have if
you only have 10 minutes to pray take
seven or eight of them to worship and
then he said you can pray for a lot of
things in two
minutes as as crazy as it may seem that
statement changed my
life because it marked me it marked me
with a value that if I have 10 minutes
or I have an hour or two hours whatever
it is if I let’s say have an hour that
I’m going to take time to pray I’ll take
40 or 45 minutes to this day just to
worship because you can pray for a lot
of stuff in a short period of time and
I’d rather I would rather live from that
connection of presence because something
happens in in that in that moment
something happens where
you I don’t know you subconsciously
become aware of the heart of
God it’s not
uh I don’t know I does anybody know what
I mean when you about striving in prayer
you you strive to pray you strive
praying and you you know it’s not that
it’s you just pick up the heart of God
you find yourself instinctively praying
his heart with Insight on what he wants
in this matter and sometimes our prayers
are even shorter and briefer I I
remember years ago I had I had purpose
my aunt uh Helen uh talked to me once
and she said you should study the
prayers of
Nehemiah and um and she called them
rifle shots and if you go through
Nehemiah you’ll find quite a few prayers
in there but they were all on
liners you know when you’re outside of
that bubble of presence you pray
long when you’re inside a few words
changes
everything it’s the effect of your
prayer often times is the place that you
pray
from
complaining is prayer in
reverse
complaining actually reveals that I’m
losing the battle over my
thoughts complaining criticism
resentment all that kind of stuff it
just reveals I’m losing the battle over
my own thought
life
say this with me Rejoice always Rejoice
always pray without ceasing pray without
ceasing in everything give thanks in
everything give thanks for this is God’s
will for this is God’s will say it again
Rejoice always Rejoice always pray
without ceasing pray without ceasing and
everything give thanks and everything
give thanks for this is God’s
will that’s first Thessalonians
um 5 verse uh 16 171 18 let me read it
to you out of the passion translation
let Joy be your continual
Feast make your life a
prayer in the midst of everything be
always giving thanks for this is God’s
perfect plan for you in Christ
Jesus Rejoice
always pray without
ceasing in everything give thanks
thanks any situation that I cannot
rejoice in or give thanks
in I’m losing the battle over my
thoughts see one of the problems for us
is that the angel comes to us as an
angel of
Light okay look up here the angel of
Light what does that mean that mean
means he will always come to us
different than what he’s trying to
accomplish in other words he never comes
with a red rubber suit horns in a
pitchfork he comes for example a fence
will come into a person’s life because
they think they’re functioning in
discernment many many times people in
prophetic ministry will be angry and
bitter but they’ll call it the burden of
the
prophetic no it’s it’s true I’m I’m so
thankful for our team because they don’t
function in that but we have we have
history of been exposed to that for
years and it’s Justified because the
enemy has come in like an angel of Light
what happens for every one of us our
gift will determine what we’re most
susceptible to but for every one of us
the enemy comes as an angel of Light
trying to sneak something into our our
our place our hearts sneak something
into our heart that actually works in
opposite of what we are buying into so
this whole notion of being Discerning I
actually open myself up for a spirit of
offense and resentment and all those
things are actually outcroppings of of
receiving this angel of Light so to
speak
what rejoicing and Thanksgiving do is
they completely dismantle that
mindset they expose truly for once and
for all the root system that the enemy
has the the lie that he has used to
persuade people to buy into a lie and
rejoicing being able to choose Joy what
does it say rejoicing always pray
without ceasing and everything of than
so we have joy and thankfulness
sandwiches in effective prayer
life
Rejoice rejoicing and thankfulness are
absolute pure expressions of
faith it what it’s what sets us up to
pray effectively is the fact that I’m in
the middle of a conflict a situation I
don’t like I wish I could change but
until I can honestly move into a place
of absolute surrender and celebrate with
joy and give thanks in the middle of
what I don’t like I am losing the battle
over my
thoughts
amen bill that was a very very good
point very good
[Applause]
point what happens to the person who who
learns a lifestyle uh a man named uh a
Catholic priest from many many years ago
called father Lawrence uh wrote a book
called practicing the presence and and
his whole ambition was to stay conscious
of God
24/7 he never claimed to have arrived to
that but the his point was is that
whether he was washing pots ofan or he
was in the prayer house praying his
awareness of the presence didn’t
change and there’s something about the
the presence if if you can look at it
this way there’s nothing in heaven that
is sep separate from the presence of God
yes so in essence God himself is the
person of Heaven that’s right and we are
seated in Christ it is a foretaste of
Eternity it is a
foretaste I’m not saying he leaves us
I’m not saying we leave him I’m just
saying there are times where my
affection my thoughts are anchored in
things that are very inferior and it
doesn’t mean he’s left me it just means
I have I have I I’m it it seems that all
the things that I am born for are Out Of
Reach In This Moment until I repent and
deal with these Wayward thoughts and
these Wayward
affections stepping back into that place
it’s not it’s not guilt and shame that
doesn’t get me there in fact I I had a
thought this last week that that I I’ve
got to work on but um the thought is
this we experience guilt and shame in
the same measure that we overemphasize
our role in our own
[Applause]
conversion we are susceptible to guilt
and shame in the same measure that we
overemphasize our role in our own
conversion well I found God yeah yeah
you actually didn’t he found you
first but I put my faith in Christ
that’s right but he gave you the faith
to believe him
with
everything the stage was said he called
my name I responded to his invitation he
initiated I love God yes I do but he
loved me
first right and anytime we overemphasize
our role in this equation we are much
more susceptible to guilt and shame
because it’s a product of not being
enough doing
enough but
I this will sound kind of dumb but I I I
just in some way wish that that we were
just known as the Church of the burning
Hearts it’s a dumb name but I sure like
the
meaning I’m already in trouble I don’t
want to change the name burning burning
Hearts but the burning ones the the the
people who who know how to just in that
place of deep
affection I remember back uh how many of
you remember the energy crisis of the
70s when there’s the long gas lines and
all that well before that so it’s this
goes way
back
um I
remember uh listening to a man
speak he said his home he lived in in a
second his he and his wife uh their
master bedroom was in the second floor
uh Second Story of a home that they
lived
in and he said it just took forever to
get the hot water from downstairs water
hot water heater up to their bathroom
and so what he finally learned to do was
right before going to bed he would just
turn the hot water on just a little bit
so that it would just constantly stream
water just very little bit all night
long so that when he got up in the
morning he could just turn that thing on
and he had hot water
instantly that’s what a Burning Heart of
affection is like you don’t have to work
your way into the presence to pray
effective prayers you’re you’re there
you’re there why because you carry a
Burning Heart of affection there’s this
there’s this continuous stream of
presence continuous stream of being one
that burns for the lord it’s it’s not
it’s not a Works thing although Works
come from it it’s it’s not performance
thing it’s it’s not just singing the
right songs and all that stuff it’s just
being conscious it’s it’s you you do
that for a week and you’re homesick when
you miss a day that’s that’s all I know
to say is you can tell you can tell
because things aren’t as clear in your
mind things aren’t as clear in your
heart your understanding of scripture is
not as sharp why
because it’s not something you did wrong
it’s not punishment it’s not sin it’s
just
we were born for the glory we were born
for heaven that’s what we’re designed
for and all these little things that
come in the offenses and questions and
you know what if you have problem with
an
individual get a breakthrough in
Thanksgiving you have you have a problem
with
somebody if you can’t give thanks you’re
losing the
battle and here’s the cool thing you
don’t have to you were designed to win
you were designed to win to give thanks
in that situation the job you have is
troubling to you you know what you can
either be the victim of bad
circumstances or you can be the Victor
you can be the person who turns it
around literally through the Simplicity
of rejoicing and thankfulness just to
give
thanks consciously bringing someone to
mind that you’ve had conflict with and
giving thanks that God causes all things
to work for good Lord I do I celebrate I
honestly celebrate the fact that you’re
able to use anything that comes my way
what I’ll do is I’ll actually look into
that person’s life es especially when it
has to do with Believers I’ll look into
that person’s life and find the gift or
that thing that they were called to do
that has made such a difference in my
life or such an impact on uh this church
or whatever it might be and just truly
become thankful sometimes we’re not
thankful for people because we haven’t
stopped long enough to consider who they
are in Christ the Bible actually says
we’re supposed to fear one another in
the fear of
[Applause]
Christ do celebrate the value of a
person my dad would have this statement
that’s honestly probably one of the most
important things I’ve ever heard anyone
say he said wash a person’s feet till
you know why they walk the way they
do I remember being in a
service not here it was somewhere else
and I’m not going to tell you
where but far
away I remember being in the service and
it was worship and it was the worship
was great but there was just somebody
close to
me physically close that was just making
all kinds of noise I found it quite
annoying because they didn’t seem to be
singing the same song
fact I had this happen once in another
country where the the gal would only
sing in between the lines and would not
sing the
words and she had one of them piercing
falsetto soprano
voices and there were
two teenage girls standing in front of
her that were trying so hard to worship
and then they would break down and laugh
and then they they would I I watched
them the entire meeting they would fight
their way back and they would worship
God and then she would right behind her
singing this false sound just piercing
they would find themselves laughing and
then they I mean they fought so hard I
mean it was a well fought battle they
fought so hard when the worship was over
I walked up to him I gave them both $20
I said here you earn this
[Applause]
one well it was one of those
meetings and there was somebody over
here that was just doing that doing that
stuff and and I I I’ve I’ve been around
this mountain enough I know it’s stupid
for me to think critical so I’m not
going to think critical I’m going to
press in and worship I and I I didn’t
have hard feelings I just wish you would
[Laughter]
stop absolutely absolutely
true worship came to a close Heidi Baker
stand Standing uh just few feet away she
comes over she points to this woman she
goes isn’t that
[Laughter]
amazing and then she
said 35 years as a
prostitute and now she’s
free
all of a sudden all that noise that was
annoying was a
symphony Heidi took the time to wash her
feet find out why she walks way she
does and that limp became Beauty you
know see it’s it’s that it’s that heart
of tenderness towards presence that that
makes us more prone to that conclusion
than all the others that we that we run
into there’s this crazy idea
that the church is made up of Mary and
Martha and nothing would ever get done
if it wasn’t for
Martha I mean remember that story Mary
sat at the feet of Jesus Martha was
angry with Mary she wasn’t helping with
the
work so I’ve heard people say nothing
would get done if it wasn’t for
Martha’s and I’m pretty confident it was
amartha that made that
[Applause]
up I’m pretty confident amartha made up
that statement to
justify their reasoning for making
sandwiches Jesus never
ordered
see something happens in the glory this
is absolutely true in the
glory things happen at such a higher
level and a higher pace and greater
efficiency and Effectiveness that you
get done in one hour what might have
taken days otherwise outside of the
glory there’s something about being a
people that cultivate awareness of
presence this glorious
one that changes everything I know of
situations where that Glory has shown up
where that presence because of the
affection the Adoration of worshippers
that affection just comes crashing in
around a crowd of people that are
literally surrounded my friends to kill
them they are there to kill them and
then that Glory comes because there’s
these yielded surrended hearts of lovers
of God and that Glory comes and this
Army that is surrounding them to kill
them fall on their faces every one of
them get up born again every one of them
get up healed every one of them get up
speaking in tongues every single person
in this group why because something
happened they could preach for 20 years
and not get that conclusion but when the
presence comes in that measure
everything changes and it’s the ambition
should be the ambition of The Burning
Heart the Church of the burning Hearts
changing the name here it is right now
just inter just just that’s just between
you and me Church of the burning
[Applause]
Hearts St burning Hearts no
[Laughter]
no something
happens in the hearts of those
who anchor themselves in that glorious
presence I want to read a couple verses
and then we’ll wrap this up open to
Matthew uh 14 I’ve literally got just a
couple couple minutes
but Matthew
14 might be good to take a look at what
impresses
Jesus do you remember the story of the
Centurion in the Bible he had such clear
understanding of Kingdom Authority and
unusual faith that Jesus stopped in his
tracks and acknowledged his
wisdom and his
faith remember the syap phenician
woman who was refused to be offended at
Jesus’s comment that he couldn’t give
the children’s bread to dogs she
overcame offense and stepped into great
faith Jesus stopped and acknowledged
that Faith do you remember when Jesus
was ascending to the
father his resurrection he was ascending
to the right hand of the father father
to be forever with the Lord on his way
saw Mary out of whom seven demons had
been cast was at the tomb weeping and
Jesus was on his way to the father and
he was so moved by her love that he
stopped the procession and went and
communicated with her for moments before
he went to the father what moved him
that
love in John the Baptist Jesus was moved
by the faithfulness of a man that would
pour out his
life for Jesus to come on the scene and
he said he’s the greatest of all the
prophets when John the
Baptist is killed it’s in chapter 14 of
Matthew it says Herod sent in verse 10
and had John beheaded in prison verse 12
his disciples came took away the body
buried it and they went and told Jesus
look at the next phrase
when Jesus heard it he departed from
there by a boat to a deserted
place we don’t know what Jesus is
processing but we do know he had the
same emotional framework that we have
the Bible says he was tempted in all
points as we are yet without sin so
there must have been some sort of a
challenge emotionally mentally to this
that he was facing that he saw this man
that he had just praised three chapters
earlier as the greatest Prophet greater
than all of them in the Old Testament he
acknowledges his significance and now he
hears that John the Baptist has been
beheaded it was so challenging that
Jesus the son of God sought for a place
to get by
himself the very next scene he’s with a
multitude and he multiplies the food
they are all fed what does he do after
that it says in verse 23 when he sent
the multitude away he went up on a
mountain by himself to pray what’s the
point
in
crisis get along with
God in
Victory get along with
God the very next story is it says every
person that came to Jesus that was able
to touch his clothing was healed the
very last verse of this chapter what’s
the
point stewarding our
moments we all know how to pray when
we’re in
trouble we pray instinctively when
there’s a problem people that don’t
believe in God pray instinctively when
there’s a problem if you’re up there
right but not all of
us get alone after a great
Victory and it’s it’s in those moments
the metal that we are made of so to
speak is
formed and the great breakthrough came
following that second time praying get
alone when there’s Victory it was in
that next
moment now anybody in the crowd that
just touches cloth is healed there such
an extraordinary anointing that anyone
that just bumped against him had access
to a
miracle it followed not prayer and
trouble it followed prayer PR in
Victory I believe this heart of
adoration that the Lord is I believe
wanting to impart for us today as a
church family I know I’ve made reference
to this uh for years so I I I I
understand it’s not new but I do believe
there’s an
impartation uh today I I believe he he
brought this to my mind because in
declaring it there would be burning
Hearts all over this room that would
find mind would find it easy to just
turn affection towards him to Anchor
into that place of Glory of presence in
that place to draw from this wonderful
wonderful God and from that place see
effective
prayers I want to shape the course of
history with my prayers like you

Grace for this right now that we would

groceries just that we would be a people
that just knew how to cultivate The
Burning Heart of affection that refuses
to be offended that refuses to embrace
resentment and all the stuff that just a
people Teflon people because our hearts
are burning for you nothing sticks
nothing of the inferior sticks to a
Burning Heart nothing of the inferior
sticks to a burning
