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

that’s

awesome the pastor

dies and he’s waiting in line at the

Pearly Gates ahead of him is a guy who’s

dressed in sunglasses a loud shirt

leather jacket and

jeans St Peter addresses the cool guy

who are you so that I may know whether

or not to admit you into the Kingdom of

Heaven the guy replies I’m Dennis

retired airline pilot from Florida St

Peter consults the list he smiles and

says to the pilot take this silk robe

golden staff enter the kingdom the pilot

goes into heaven with his robe and staff

next it’s the pastor’s turn he stands

tall and declares I’m Pastor Bob Pastor

kingdom he says wait a minute the pilate

gets a silk robe and a gold staff now

only get cotton in Wood how can this be

Peter responded responds up here we go

by results when you preached people

slept when he flew People

[Applause]

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

find our hearts burning for you at the

most unusual and sometimes awkward times

neighbor’s home wherever driving to get

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

hand and any anyone else that I missed

you to come right over here to my left
