We're going to explore what that 17 00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:53.680 even looks like, what that means and how you can align with the burning heart of God for yourself 18 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:58.640 and what that will actually produce in your life and how you can do it. So hey, let's pray 19 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.360 and then we're going to jump in deeper. 20 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.040 We thank you so much for the divine dance. 21 00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:24.400 We thank you for the wonder of your love.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, let me know. Whoa, let me know. Do you think 38 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:32.240 that the love of God is an all-consuming fire? What are your thoughts on that? Do you think that 39 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.920 God's love burns and blazes in us and for us and to us and through us? Let me know your thoughts 40 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:46.880 on that. I've got some scripture for us today. I've got some amazing stories that we're going 41 00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:57.040 to be exploring, some really beautiful, powerful stories today from the past. And we are going into, 42 00:04:59.680 --> 00:04:59.840 yeah, 43 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.760 Really we're going to explore a whole bunch of the dynamics of the burning heart of God 44 00:05:07.760 --> 00:05:13.920 and we're going to focus on two powerful words say awaken and arise. I'm going to do one quick 45 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:42.320 tech thing right now. Very cool. All right, so Hebrews 12, 29. Come with me to your Bibles. 46 00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:50.080 Hebrews 12, 29. It talks about one of the dynamics of just the nature of God and it says that our 47 00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:58.080 God is a consuming fire. He is a consuming fire. All right, so just think about that. That's how 48 00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:04.720 Hebrews 12, 29. I just want you to think about this dynamic of the nature of God that God is 49 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:13.280 an all-consuming fire. All right, so the all-consuming fire and then I want 50 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.040 to take you in your Bibles as well. Come with me to 51 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:26.640 Song of Songs and we're going to go to a beautiful part of Song of Songs or the Song of Solomon and 52 00:06:27.200 --> 00:06:36.800 I'm going to read to you from the English Standard Version. Okay, so Song of Songs 8.6 it says 53 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:45.520 set me as a seal upon your heart as a seal upon your arm for love is as strong as death 54 00:06:45.520 --> 00:06:56.400 its jealousy is fierce as the grave its flashes are flashes of fire the very flame of the Lord. 55 00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:06.400 The very flame of the Lord and so what I want to bring together for you right now is Hebrews 12, 56 00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:13.520 29 that our God is an all-consuming fire an all-consuming flame and then also Solomon, 57 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:22.080 Song of Solomon 8.6 which says you know it's flashes the flashes of love are the flashes 58 00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:27.200 of fire they're the very flame of the Lord. So the all-consuming fire of God when we're talking 59 00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:33.200 about God being an all-consuming fire and all-consuming flame that is the very that flame 60 00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:40.640 is the flame of love itself. So love as we're talking about the burning heart of God. God is 61 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:47.600 a fire. God is love and the love of God is a burning fire. The love of God it is a flame. 62 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:57.200 God himself is a flame of love and I will move around a little bit let's go outside for a moment 63 00:07:57.200 --> 00:08:05.280 into the sun but I want you to think about this concept right because it's going to tie into 64 00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:12.000 really what we're going to be speaking about today but the love of God is an all-consuming 65 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.920 fire the love of God is an all-consuming flame and really what does that flame want to burn up 66 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:22.400 you know like fire wants to burn something wants to consume something fire needs fuel 67 00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:29.360 what is that fire about well the fire of God this flame of the Lord this all-consuming fire of love 68 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:36.880 what that is about it's about consuming everything in us that veils Christ in us the hope of glory so 69 00:08:36.880 --> 00:08:44.640 that absolutely nothing else in uh in so that nothing veils Christ in us so that uh I just 70 00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:49.680 want to declare this over you and just pray this over you right now that the love of God is a fire 71 00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:55.680 the love of God is a flame it's an all-consuming fire and it's coming to consume and burn up 72 00:08:55.680 --> 00:09:03.360 everything that veils Christ in you so that only Christ will remain amen beautiful 73 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:11.040 hey um we are going to explore like I said these two words okay so the first word that we're going 74 00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:17.200 to explore is uh is this concept of awaken so two words we're going to explore today awaken 75 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:24.400 and arise but to explore the word awaken first I want you to come with me to Romans 8 in our 76 00:09:24.400 --> 00:09:31.680 bibles um we'll jump to Romans 8 in our bibles a lot of you guys will know this really really well 77 00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:36.320 and we are going to uh Romans 8 78 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:46.400 and we're going to start at verse 19 so come with me to Romans 8 and uh 79 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.960 I'm going to read to you from the NIV the translation that you read this from is not too 80 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:59.920 uh too big a deal but Romans 8 verses 19 sorry verse 18 81 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.600 It says, this is Paul writing, says I consider that our present sufferings are not worth 82 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:10.540 comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 83 00:10:10.540 --> 00:10:17.760 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed, or 84 00:10:17.760 --> 00:10:24.440 the creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed, is a better 85 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.440 translation. 86 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:30.800 So Paul says, I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the 87 00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:31.800 glory. 88 00:10:31.800 --> 00:10:37.920 So say glory with me, and that Greek word glory is the word doxa, and that word doxa, 89 00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:43.840 what it means, what the word doxa means, was actually, it's the exact same identity as 90 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:44.840 God, right? 91 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:46.280 It's the divine life. 92 00:10:46.280 --> 00:10:49.200 It's the full manifestation of who God is. 93 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.880 It's the pinnacle of what it means to be made in the image of God. 94 00:10:51.880 --> 00:10:56.360 So it says, I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory, with 95 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.320 the full manifestation of the divine life that will be revealed in us. 96 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:06.120 So just say to me, just say that the divine life will be revealed in me. 97 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:12.960 All right, and then verse 19 says, for the creation waits in eager expectation, say eager 98 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.320 expectation with me. 99 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:21.160 That's actually, in the Greek, it basically, it's actually a very funny word in the Greek. 100 00:11:21.160 --> 00:11:31.120 It's apokaradokia, let me just get this right, because it's just a funny sounding word, apokaradokia, 101 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:39.400 apokaradokia, apokaradokia, that's it, apok, yep, that's it, apokaradokia, and it means 102 00:11:39.400 --> 00:11:42.160 an anxious, persistent expectation. 103 00:11:42.160 --> 00:11:47.760 So it's a faith dynamic, it's a fully persuaded belief, and it's this all-consuming desire, 104 00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:52.520 it's knowing that this will be fulfilled, and this is the desire, a relentless longing 105 00:11:52.520 --> 00:11:56.400 and desiring, an anxious and persistent expectation. 106 00:11:56.400 --> 00:12:01.480 So it's a burning desire, it's a craving, it's a longing that never goes away, it never 107 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:08.320 dulls down, it always stays at full intensity, so it's a real intense desire. 108 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:16.000 So all creation has this intense desire for the unveiling of the sons of God, which is 109 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.000 beautiful. 110 00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.760 And I want to ask you, what does that look like? 111 00:12:20.760 --> 00:12:22.920 What is it that creation is actually longing for? 112 00:12:22.920 --> 00:12:26.200 Because I want to say that God's longing for the same thing. 113 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:33.000 So join me here, let's talk about some characters from the past, some characters from history 114 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:38.680 who've walked in this, because the awakening, the unveiling of the sons of God is one of 115 00:12:38.680 --> 00:12:41.400 the things that God is burning for. 116 00:12:41.400 --> 00:12:46.920 So we're talking about, I want to introduce you to a couple of guys. 117 00:12:46.920 --> 00:12:51.760 Now you might know some of these guys, but they're amazing, amazing people that have 118 00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:55.600 lived, and you've always had these people scattered throughout history, and this first 119 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.400 guy we're going to talk about is Saint Columbanus. 120 00:12:58.400 --> 00:13:06.800 So Saint Columbanus was an Irish missionary, and he ended up going as a missionary from 121 00:13:06.800 --> 00:13:07.800 Ireland. 122 00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:20.120 And he lived in the 500s, so he lived from 540, that's kind of, you know, he was around 123 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:21.120 that era. 124 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:27.320 So from 540 AD through to the early 600s, that was the era of Saint Columbanus. 125 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:32.440 And he walked in this amazing dynamic of the revelation of sons. 126 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:39.120 And he walked as one of these, all creation is desiring the unveiling of the sons of God, 127 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.240 and he walked as one of those men. 128 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.320 So what did that look like for him? 129 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:51.240 Some crazy stories about Saint Columbanus is he would actually, he could, animals would 130 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:52.280 obey him. 131 00:13:52.280 --> 00:13:57.400 So he actually, there's an amazing few stories about him, quite a few stories about him interacting 132 00:13:57.400 --> 00:13:58.400 with animals. 133 00:13:58.400 --> 00:14:02.120 There was a time where wolves surrounded him, and they never touched him or attacked him. 134 00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:06.200 There was another time where he needed a place to stay in a cave, and he actually spoke to 135 00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:11.520 a bear, and a bear actually came out of the cave and gave him up the cave so he could 136 00:14:11.520 --> 00:14:12.900 live there. 137 00:14:12.900 --> 00:14:17.480 Another time, when he was founding a settlement, he needed something to plow for him, and he 138 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:23.760 actually had a bear, he was able to actually harness up a bear, and a bear plowed for him. 139 00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:28.360 He had times of famine when the people that he was serving were in times of famine, and 140 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:36.440 through prayer and faith, actually saw their entire, like empty granaries filled up just 141 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.960 by supernatural provision. 142 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.920 Lots of miracles, so many miracles around his life, around that. 143 00:14:43.920 --> 00:14:50.600 But he also, he founded an abbey, he founded a monastery in Bobbio in Italy. 144 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:55.240 It's now one of the most beautiful towns in Italy, so that's Saint Columbanus. 145 00:14:55.520 --> 00:14:58.800 A lot of you will have heard of Saint Francis of Assisi, right? 146 00:14:58.800 --> 00:14:59.960 So Saint Francis of Assisi... 147 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.280 He's really well-known, but not as a figure, but not that many people know much about him. 148 00:15:06.280 --> 00:15:14.080 But he lived from 1181 roughly, so he's a bit later on after Saint Columbanus. 149 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:25.980 But Saint Francis of Assisi, he lived from 1180s through to 1226 was when he died. 150 00:15:25.980 --> 00:15:33.780 So he actually only lived about 44 years, so he wasn't an old guy, he didn't live a 151 00:15:33.780 --> 00:15:34.780 long time. 152 00:15:34.780 --> 00:15:40.580 But what he did is he dove in, he went right into the very core and the heart of God and 153 00:15:40.580 --> 00:15:42.980 he lived in this place of extreme intimacy. 154 00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:48.500 Now there's some amazing stories about Saint Francis of Assisi that a lot of people don't 155 00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:49.500 know about. 156 00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:56.260 But Saint Francis of Assisi lived in this place of extreme union, extreme intimacy with 157 00:15:56.260 --> 00:15:57.260 God. 158 00:15:57.260 --> 00:16:03.900 He lived in this place where, to give you an example, one of his disciples wanted to 159 00:16:03.900 --> 00:16:06.540 figure out how Saint Francis did his quiet time. 160 00:16:06.540 --> 00:16:09.420 It's like, oh man, how did you do this? 161 00:16:09.420 --> 00:16:10.420 What do you do? 162 00:16:10.420 --> 00:16:11.420 Do you read your Bible? 163 00:16:11.420 --> 00:16:12.420 Do you meditate? 164 00:16:12.420 --> 00:16:13.420 Do you take some notes? 165 00:16:13.420 --> 00:16:14.420 Do you pray in tongues? 166 00:16:14.420 --> 00:16:16.380 They wanted to figure out what Saint Francis was doing. 167 00:16:16.380 --> 00:16:24.820 So they followed along at a distance and then when they got to this kind of little 168 00:16:24.820 --> 00:16:29.660 brow of a hill, they looked over and what they saw was they saw Saint Francis of Assisi 169 00:16:29.660 --> 00:16:34.060 levitating and transfigured near the top of a tree. 170 00:16:34.060 --> 00:16:43.420 So Saint Francis was in prayer in such a place of amazing divine union, divine ecstasy as 171 00:16:43.420 --> 00:16:47.300 he was praying, as he was seeking the Lord, as he was ministering to the Lord, as in this 172 00:16:47.300 --> 00:16:50.660 place of worship that he actually levitated. 173 00:16:50.660 --> 00:16:56.540 So his disciple saw him levitating up near the top of a tree and completely transfigured. 174 00:16:56.540 --> 00:16:57.580 What does that look like? 175 00:16:57.580 --> 00:17:02.740 He was radiating just like Jesus transfigured on the hill. 176 00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:03.740 Wow! 177 00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:07.780 So there's Saint Francis transfiguring. 178 00:17:07.780 --> 00:17:15.060 This is not the only time Saint Francis had many times when he was recorded as being transfigured. 179 00:17:15.060 --> 00:17:18.020 Most of the time this would have happened in secret and private and no one would have 180 00:17:18.020 --> 00:17:19.020 known about it. 181 00:17:19.020 --> 00:17:28.339 But there was another time when Saint Francis was staying at an island off the coast and 182 00:17:28.339 --> 00:17:31.780 he was staying in this island. 183 00:17:31.780 --> 00:17:37.180 He was in this, just in this, just a simple place that he was staying, just a simple inn 184 00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:38.860 and he was staying there. 185 00:17:38.860 --> 00:17:43.820 And then the story goes that he got up and started praying. 186 00:17:43.820 --> 00:17:46.140 But people on the mainland, right? 187 00:17:46.140 --> 00:17:49.700 People on the mainland, they got up, they're like, oh wow, it's morning time. 188 00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:52.820 They got up, they started putting on their clothes and they started getting ready to 189 00:17:52.820 --> 00:17:53.820 start the day. 190 00:17:53.820 --> 00:17:58.620 But it was actually the middle of the night and what was actually happening is that Saint 191 00:17:58.620 --> 00:18:05.380 Francis was praying out on the island and the glory of God came with such extreme intensity 192 00:18:05.380 --> 00:18:09.100 that it actually lit up that whole area. 193 00:18:09.100 --> 00:18:15.060 Like the glory of God just supernaturally lit up that whole area and people were, people 194 00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:17.900 got up in the middle of the night and started putting their clothes on because they're like, 195 00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:18.900 oh my gosh. 196 00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:23.700 Well, they didn't even realize it was a supernatural thing, they just thought that the sun was 197 00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:24.700 rising. 198 00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:30.940 Now let me show you a quick picture of something that's actually really amazing as well in 199 00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:33.500 terms of how God can do stuff like that. 200 00:18:33.940 --> 00:18:39.460 You might not be able to see this so well, let me just show you this picture though. 201 00:18:39.460 --> 00:18:46.540 This picture happened in Tiana, it was taken where I live, so you can kind of see the rays 202 00:18:46.540 --> 00:18:48.260 from the sun there coming up, right? 203 00:18:48.260 --> 00:18:51.860 Does that look kind of like, like a sunrise there? 204 00:18:51.860 --> 00:18:55.540 Let me know if you think that image kind of looks a little bit like a sunrise and I want 205 00:18:55.540 --> 00:19:03.020 to tell you why this picture got the entire town talking about what was going on for months, 206 00:19:03.540 --> 00:19:10.020 because what is happening in that picture is this picture is taken facing east, right? 207 00:19:10.020 --> 00:19:13.980 The sun rises in the east, so that's like, that's the east, it's right where the sun 208 00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:20.640 would, would rise, the sun rises in the east and it sets in the west, but this picture 209 00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:24.380 was taken in the evening and that's the east, right? 210 00:19:24.380 --> 00:19:28.120 So this was taken in the evening and in the west at the same time, the sun is actually 211 00:19:28.120 --> 00:19:29.340 going down. 212 00:19:29.340 --> 00:19:36.380 So this picture taken facing east was taken at sunset when the sun is setting in the exact 213 00:19:36.380 --> 00:19:37.380 opposite place. 214 00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:41.320 So this got the whole town talking and there was a season there for a couple of months 215 00:19:41.320 --> 00:19:43.560 where this happened multiple times. 216 00:19:43.560 --> 00:19:48.280 It was a season when we would be really talking a lot about these testimonies of St. Francis 217 00:19:48.280 --> 00:19:53.600 and these testimonies of the Eastern Gate and these testimonies of greater glory and 218 00:19:53.600 --> 00:19:58.560 testimonies of signs and wonders in the heavens and in the earth and it was just amazing that 219 00:19:58.560 --> 00:20:00.060 this happened multiple times. 220 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.040 got the whole town talking no one understood no one had ever seen anything like that in the town 221 00:20:05.040 --> 00:20:10.080 before no one's ever seen anything like that since it was just a short season there and we were like 222 00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:16.960 wow god um just a radically supernatural thing so saint francis another beautiful story of 223 00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:25.200 saint francis is one time saint francis uh received an invite from um from the nuns 224 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:32.320 right and we're near where he lived so saint francis uh and the monks went to have a dinner 225 00:20:32.320 --> 00:20:38.080 with the nuns and what happened was saint francis was there and they just invited him to come and 226 00:20:38.080 --> 00:20:45.680 speak with them over dinner um he uh and and what they wanted to just ask him that was just like hey 227 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:52.000 just talk from your heart about the beauty the ecstasy of knowing god tell us about the divine 228 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:57.280 life and so they're in there they're in there chatting over dinner a whole bunch of nuns and 229 00:20:57.280 --> 00:21:02.640 monks they're in there they're chatting but here's something crazy what was happening outside of that 230 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:09.200 place is outside of that place in the towns either side of the convent both towns looked and what 231 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:15.520 they saw was they saw that the convent was completely ablaze with flames they the two 232 00:21:15.520 --> 00:21:21.440 towns either side of the convent could see the fire on the convent and so people from both towns 233 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:28.240 rushed to the convent to put out the fire and when they got there they realized nothing was burning 234 00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:34.000 it was a supernatural flame and when they went in there into the convent to actually see what 235 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:41.440 was happening they found everyone there just in this place of absolutely overwhelmed with divine 236 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:46.720 ecstasy as saint francis has been talking just their hearts have been burning this fire and a 237 00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:52.080 supernatural flame broke out over the building now that type of dynamic of a supernatural fire 238 00:21:52.080 --> 00:21:57.840 a supernatural flame has been seen many times throughout church history azusa street uh as a 239 00:21:57.840 --> 00:22:04.960 place where they had fire engines called multiple times to the church because people could report 240 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:10.400 flames burning on the church building and that's happened you know in modern times as well i've had 241 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.880 a friend in a place where they were running meetings had exactly the same thing happening 242 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:19.760 that the fire engine got called out because people could see supernatural flames burning 243 00:22:19.760 --> 00:22:26.320 over the building so uh here's what i'm saying one of what i want to say to you about you know 244 00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:31.840 just kind of on the back of that is that all creation is longing for the unveiling of the sons 245 00:22:31.840 --> 00:22:40.320 of god all creation is longing for this unveiling to happen for us to be brought into the deeper 246 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:48.320 things of christ into uh into the it's it's the unveiling of sonship it's the fullness it's the 247 00:22:48.320 --> 00:22:53.840 it's john 14 12 uh manifest which jesus said anyone who has faith in me will do what i've 248 00:22:53.840 --> 00:22:58.720 been doing they will do even greater things than these and so when we're talking about the burning 249 00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:05.760 heart of god what is the burning heart of god actually burning for we see there in romans 8 250 00:23:05.760 --> 00:23:12.720 and 19 uh that all creation 8 and romans 8 18 and 19 that all creation is longing burning 251 00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:19.200 intensely desiring a thing right just like god right now he is burning longing intensely desiring 252 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:23.760 a thing and what's that thing that he's burning for and longing for well one of them is an 253 00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:29.760 awakening right one of those things that the the heart of god is just burning for desiring longing 254 00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:37.920 for intensely seeking after with great expectation is that you and i will step into the greater works 255 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:42.640 that you and i will step into the greater things that you and i will actually transcend everything 256 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:49.840 that we've known and go into a realm above and beyond where we've ever been before wow and that 257 00:23:49.840 --> 00:23:54.320 looks so i just i wanted to paint a bit of a picture there for you of what that can look like 258 00:23:54.320 --> 00:24:01.200 let me give you a couple of uh just maybe one more one more quick guy that i'll um i'll share 259 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:08.320 with you so saint francis of payola all right saint francis of payola he lived a little bit 260 00:24:08.320 --> 00:24:14.480 later again he was actually named after saint francis of assisi and saint francis of payola 261 00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:26.720 he lived around 1500 so he was born 1507 and he died um uh sorry sorry he died in uh 1507 he was 262 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:34.640 born in 1416 so he he lived a long time he was much older than saint francis of assisi he lived 263 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:40.320 a lot long so saint francis of assisi only lived about 44 years and saint francis of payola he 264 00:24:40.320 --> 00:24:42.880 lived what was it uh 265 00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:53.680 oh yeah 80s in his 80s so older older guy but let me tell you a couple of stories about saint 266 00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:59.920 francis of payola one of the so saint francis of payola what he had is he had a very strong 267 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.120 discipline a very strict regime around spiritual practices and and so he was 268 00:25:06.120 --> 00:25:11.640 teaching all the people about spiritual practices and you know lots of things 269 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:14.960 were happening shifting changing they were experiencing and awakening crazy 270 00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:19.080 miracles of breaking out supernatural stories that are coming up and change is 271 00:25:19.080 --> 00:25:22.280 happening for the people there's amazing growth and transformations taking place 272 00:25:22.280 --> 00:25:26.960 for the people and he'd implemented you know strict regimes of you know his diet 273 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:31.600 was stricter and his prayer life was intense he'd actually from the time I 274 00:25:31.600 --> 00:25:35.520 think it was about when he was 17 he actually requested to go and live in a 275 00:25:35.520 --> 00:25:40.640 cave just so that he could seek after God right this is something beautiful 276 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:46.720 about these Saints is that they lived with you know I've just been saying this 277 00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:51.880 this line a couple of times recently and it's stuck in my head from a prayer 278 00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:58.440 movement that's really amazing but that we this is the this is the line of the 279 00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:04.440 prayer movements that they say our lives are devoted to perpetual adoration our 280 00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:09.480 lives are devoted to perpetual adoration I just think that is phenomenal and with 281 00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:15.120 all these Saints that I'm talking about their lives were devoted to perpetual 282 00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:21.000 adoration of God and out of this place of having their own burning hearts see 283 00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:25.160 it's one like God has a burning heart but when we have a burning heart for God 284 00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:30.160 everything changes in our world so St. Francis of Paola he lived with this 285 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:34.320 burning heart for God he lived with perpetual adoration he spent years 286 00:26:34.320 --> 00:26:40.320 seeking God alone in a cave and then he came out of that place and just was set 287 00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:46.680 ablaze right and so the King sent some some envoys to St. Francis of Paola 288 00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:52.080 asking them basically to calm down and saying hey you know like these these 289 00:26:52.080 --> 00:26:56.640 people that you're you know that you're talking you know that you're training 290 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.120 that you're raising up you know it's you're taking it too far you know he 291 00:27:00.120 --> 00:27:04.400 said if this works for you because you're of peasant stock you know so this 292 00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.400 is what the King's envoy is saying to St. Francis of Paola he's like this strict 293 00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:10.520 discipline works for you because you're of peasant stock but for everyone else 294 00:27:10.520 --> 00:27:14.800 it's too much he's like calm down and St. Francis of Paola what he did is he 295 00:27:14.800 --> 00:27:21.440 reached into the fire right he picked up with his bare hands burning coals and 296 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:27.160 flames and so he's got all this burning coals and flames in his hand it's not 297 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.760 burning him it's not impacting but all he's carrying them in his hands and he's 298 00:27:30.760 --> 00:27:36.680 looking at the King's envoy there and he says yes sarcastically basically he says 299 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:44.200 yes it's because I'm of sturdy peasant stock that I can do these things and and 300 00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:54.600 you know then put the put the fire down but what I'm trying to share with you is 301 00:27:54.600 --> 00:28:00.000 that these Saints lived in a really special dimension something happens with 302 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:05.560 the unveiling of our sonship something happens when we step into this John 14 303 00:28:05.560 --> 00:28:11.880 12 life where it's we can do all things we can do any John 14 12 Jesus said 304 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.680 anyone who has faith in me will do what I've been doing they'll do even greater 305 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.920 things than these but something happens in this process of stepping into that 306 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:25.160 and Jesus modeled something beautiful about identity he didn't just model who 307 00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:30.480 we are right Jesus was an example not just an example for us but an example of 308 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:35.600 us okay but there's something about our identity of what we are see we are body 309 00:28:35.600 --> 00:28:41.240 and soul and spirit and what Jesus modeled is that Jesus modeled that your 310 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:47.880 spirit can actually your spirit can come into a place of alignment where 311 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:53.360 your your first a spirit with a soul in a body but what's happened for majority 312 00:28:53.360 --> 00:28:58.240 of humanity is that our flesh has kind of taken over the place of the spirit 313 00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:04.400 right but when your spirit comes into a when your flesh comes into submission to 314 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:09.800 your spirit as Jesus modeled what you see is that nothing is impossible how 315 00:29:09.800 --> 00:29:13.840 could Jesus walk on water how could Jesus defy gravity how could Jesus at 316 00:29:13.840 --> 00:29:18.560 the end of his life fly away right that that is amazing how is it because the 317 00:29:18.560 --> 00:29:23.760 spiritual dynamic swallows up the flesh dynamic because the flesh dynamic has 318 00:29:23.760 --> 00:29:29.400 its limitations but the spirit becomes limitless so let me share another story 319 00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.640 of st. Francis of payola because these Saints amazing things about them is 320 00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.200 everywhere they went they were planting monasteries right they were planting 321 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.200 monasteries establishing monasteries at one time there was a monastery that 322 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:45.480 they were building but they didn't have a water supply so st. Francis of payola 323 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:53.040 he put down his staff and he actually walked with his staff drawing a line in 324 00:29:53.040 --> 00:29:56.840 behind him before he did that he actually walked to a stream and he said 325 00:29:56.840 --> 00:30:01.720 sister stream follow me he placed 326 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.920 his staff on the ground and drew a line behind him and as he walked, he walked to the monastery 327 00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:11.720 they were building and the stream redirected its course and followed him to the monastery. 328 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:16.360 Now this is wild and what has it got to do with the burning heart of God? 329 00:30:16.360 --> 00:30:20.920 Here's what it has to do with the burning heart of God. 330 00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:30.320 Is that God is longing, burning intensely, outrageously, blazing and desiring passionately 331 00:30:30.320 --> 00:30:36.960 the unveiling of the sons of God because he's longing for us to step into our inheritance. 332 00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:39.680 He's burning for us to step into our inheritance. 333 00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:41.600 He's burning for us to step into our sonship. 334 00:30:41.600 --> 00:30:44.020 He's burning for us to step into limitlessness. 335 00:30:44.020 --> 00:30:47.560 He's burning for us to step into alignment, body, soul and spirit. 336 00:30:47.560 --> 00:30:52.500 He's burning for us to step into the promises of John 14, 12. 337 00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:57.340 Let me talk to you a little bit about the burning heart of God. 338 00:30:57.340 --> 00:31:00.780 Something that we probably need to address here when we're chatting about the burning 339 00:31:00.780 --> 00:31:06.340 heart of God is we need to address the context of the concept of the wrath of God. 340 00:31:06.340 --> 00:31:08.980 So say the wrath of God. 341 00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:13.580 This is something that gets a lot of people caught up but the wrath of God. 342 00:31:13.800 --> 00:31:17.840 Now if we look in the Greek when we look at the wrath of God we're going to get a little 343 00:31:17.840 --> 00:31:18.840 bit awkward. 344 00:31:18.840 --> 00:31:25.720 It gets a little bit awkward when we look at the wrath of God in the Greek because of 345 00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:29.920 the actual word used for wrath in the New Testament. 346 00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:35.320 We're going to talk about that in a moment but God's wrath is never separate from his 347 00:31:35.320 --> 00:31:36.480 love. 348 00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:41.880 God's wrath is only ever an expression of his love. 349 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:49.540 So let me give you a story to help illustrate the wrath of God for you. 350 00:31:49.540 --> 00:31:56.220 So this story, this is an amazing story actually. 351 00:31:56.220 --> 00:31:59.220 It's got a couple of guys in it and both guys' names are Ron. 352 00:31:59.220 --> 00:32:04.980 So we're going to have Ron Sr. and Ron Jr. to help you distinguish between the two. 353 00:32:05.800 --> 00:32:14.600 This story took place in Wyoming and Ron Sr. and Ron Jr., a father and a son, they're out 354 00:32:14.600 --> 00:32:15.600 hunting. 355 00:32:15.600 --> 00:32:22.440 They're hunting for elk and they are bow hunters and the first day out Ron Sr. has had a bad 356 00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:23.440 day. 357 00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:28.360 He couldn't, he didn't hit anything, it was a bad day and so he'd kind of been a little 358 00:32:28.360 --> 00:32:32.800 bit upset about that bad day on the first day where he hadn't hit anything and so he 359 00:32:32.800 --> 00:32:38.780 prayed that morning, he's like, God help me today to hit the mark true. 360 00:32:38.780 --> 00:32:47.140 So then they go out, they're off stalking for elk and they turn around and just out 361 00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:52.780 of nowhere, in a flash, out of absolutely nowhere comes a full grown male grizzly bear 362 00:32:52.780 --> 00:32:53.780 charging. 363 00:32:53.780 --> 00:32:59.420 He comes bounding over, he's right and he's right on top of them and Ron Jr., he starts 364 00:32:59.520 --> 00:33:05.280 sprinting for it and the bear turns and follows Ron Jr. and the bear is after Ron Jr. and 365 00:33:05.280 --> 00:33:11.480 Ron Sr., he has a flash of a moment where he turns, he draws and he releases an arrow 366 00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:15.600 and as the bear takes off and then the bear, you know, the bear doesn't stumble or flinch 367 00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:20.080 or anything, the bear just keeps on running past, he runs past Ron Sr. and right past 368 00:33:20.080 --> 00:33:24.840 him and after Ron Jr. who was running and Ron Jr. tried to run and jump and actually 369 00:33:24.840 --> 00:33:27.200 got stuck in the fork of a tree. 370 00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:32.380 So Ron Jr., the son, he's stuck in the fork of this tree and a male, full grown adult 371 00:33:32.380 --> 00:33:36.460 male grizzly bear, you know, you know how big the claws on those things are, the claws 372 00:33:36.460 --> 00:33:40.940 on those things are huge, they're like massive blades, he's just going whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. 373 00:33:40.940 --> 00:33:45.780 This grizzly is tearing apart, the son, he's just tearing apart and you know what Ron Sr. 374 00:33:45.780 --> 00:33:46.780 does? 375 00:33:46.780 --> 00:33:48.980 He does something absolutely crazy, right? 376 00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:52.940 This doesn't, this almost doesn't even make any sense because the grizzly could turn around 377 00:33:52.940 --> 00:33:58.560 with one stroke, just about cut him in half, so Ron Sr. runs up to the grizzly bear just 378 00:33:58.560 --> 00:34:03.920 with his bow and he just starts pounding that grizzly bear with his bow, he just, you could, 379 00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:09.520 and I want you to get into the intensity of this moment, Ron Sr. can't even see his son, 380 00:34:09.520 --> 00:34:14.159 all he can see is this bear that is tearing him to pieces, he doesn't know if his son 381 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:19.199 is alive or dead and Ron Sr. starts thrashing him, thrashing him, thrashing him with this 382 00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:23.900 bow, he's going all in, he's thrashing him, pouring out, and this is where we would say 383 00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:28.500 he's pouring out wrath, you know, like Ron Sr. is doing everything he can to pour out 384 00:34:28.500 --> 00:34:34.900 his wrath on this bear and then amazingly, two things happen, one, the grizzly doesn't 385 00:34:34.900 --> 00:34:40.659 attack him, which is just amazing, the second thing is that the grizzly actually stopped 386 00:34:40.659 --> 00:34:53.159 the attack on his son, just completely stopped, walked away, it didn't walk that far at all, 387 00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:59.800 and then fell over, and it fell over stone dead. 388 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:06.800 One arrow that Ron Sr. had released as the grizzly ran past, had gone straight through 389 00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:10.400 its chest and straight into its heart. 390 00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:11.840 And they got over there and it was dead. 391 00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:19.080 He runs to his son, Ron Jr., who's amazingly still alive, and they end up getting a medical 392 00:35:19.080 --> 00:35:20.080 evacuation. 393 00:35:20.080 --> 00:35:24.160 He goes into hospital, he gets looked after, and he actually survives. 394 00:35:24.160 --> 00:35:29.160 Which is even like, wow, this is such a crazy story. 395 00:35:29.160 --> 00:35:33.160 Now, here's the thing about the wrath of God. 396 00:35:33.160 --> 00:35:35.160 What does the wrath of God look like? 397 00:35:35.160 --> 00:35:36.160 The wrath of God. 398 00:35:36.160 --> 00:35:40.320 See, we talk about the burning heart of God, and some people might think, oh, this is like 399 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:42.400 the wrath or the anger of God. 400 00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:46.920 The burning heart of God is intense emotion, intense desire. 401 00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:50.240 And so when we think about the wrath of God, we've got to understand that the wrath of 402 00:35:50.240 --> 00:35:54.920 God is only and ever an expression of the love of God. 403 00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:59.720 The wrath of God never acts independently or separately from the love of God, but the 404 00:35:59.720 --> 00:36:03.880 wrath of God is an expression of divine love. 405 00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:04.880 How is that? 406 00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:09.800 Well, just like Ron Sr., right, who ran after the bear that came to destroy the thing that 407 00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:18.480 he loved, the wrath of God will fiercely and passionately oppose the things that would 408 00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:21.200 destroy what God loves, alright? 409 00:36:21.200 --> 00:36:27.480 So sin, right, lies, the enemy would come to destroy, would come to tear you up, would 410 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:32.320 come to be like that grizzly bear in your life and just wreak death and destruction. 411 00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:36.480 And God will be like that loving father who comes with his wrath. 412 00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:37.840 He's like, wah! 413 00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:42.200 Because it's the love of God that drives the wrath of God. 414 00:36:42.200 --> 00:36:44.440 The love of God fuels the wrath of God. 415 00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:48.600 And the wrath of God, now let's look at this in the Greek, because here's where it gets 416 00:36:48.600 --> 00:36:51.480 kind of awkward and a little bit like, wah! 417 00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:59.080 And also kind of shift our mindset of wrath, but the Greek word for wrath is that, one 418 00:36:59.080 --> 00:37:02.400 of them, one of the main Greek words for wrath is orge. 419 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:06.320 Now say orge, it's O-R-G-E, alright? 420 00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:08.720 Say orge, O-R-G-E. 421 00:37:08.720 --> 00:37:16.960 Now what orge is, is it means to reach out, to possess, to be shaking with intense emotion 422 00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:22.720 and desire, to apprehend and to pursue, to grasp, to hold a thing, to possess a thing. 423 00:37:22.720 --> 00:37:27.800 You're shaking with intense desire to possess a thing. 424 00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.240 Or it can also mean intense emotion. 425 00:37:30.240 --> 00:37:36.360 Now you can rightfully translate orge as intense emotion, but to translate it as intense hatred 426 00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:37.360 is just wrong. 427 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:41.800 And in the New Testament it's often translated as intense hatred, which is wrong. 428 00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:45.680 And it causes a lot of misperception about who God is and the nature of God. 429 00:37:45.680 --> 00:37:50.480 But that word orge, what it actually means is, the word orge actually means, it's the 430 00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:53.640 root word for the word that we have now, orgasm. 431 00:37:53.640 --> 00:37:55.700 Oh my gosh, what? 432 00:37:55.700 --> 00:37:59.040 Now that is a crazy mind shift, right? 433 00:37:59.040 --> 00:38:04.520 The wrath of God, the root word for that is orge, which is where we get the word orgasm. 434 00:38:04.520 --> 00:38:05.880 Now that is crazy, right? 435 00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:10.640 Does that sound, does that, it doesn't really sound like a word that you would use for intense 436 00:38:10.640 --> 00:38:11.640 hatred, right? 437 00:38:11.640 --> 00:38:12.640 It's not. 438 00:38:12.640 --> 00:38:15.200 It just means intense emotion or intense desire. 439 00:38:15.720 --> 00:38:19.560 So the wrath of God, when we think about the burning heart of God, it could be the wrath 440 00:38:19.560 --> 00:38:20.560 of God. 441 00:38:20.560 --> 00:38:22.560 There is this burning heart of God. 442 00:38:22.560 --> 00:38:28.960 And God's hatred of sin is an expression of His intense love. 443 00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:29.960 And it is intense. 444 00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:33.200 You know, like we see another picture of this, because sometimes we think about the love 445 00:38:33.200 --> 00:38:39.280 of God and divine love, it's just weak and not much emotion to it. 446 00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:40.280 But it is intense. 447 00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:45.720 And it's so intense that Jesus even went out and created a whip, right? 448 00:38:45.720 --> 00:38:46.720 How wild is that? 449 00:38:46.720 --> 00:38:53.240 Jesus, Jesus is always the perfect picture of what divine love looks like. 450 00:38:53.240 --> 00:38:59.920 And he goes out and he, he gives us a revelation of what love looks like when he makes a whip. 451 00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:01.080 How amazing is that? 452 00:39:01.080 --> 00:39:06.880 He makes a whip and making a whip is an expression of divine love. 453 00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:09.080 And Jesus cleared the temple with that whip. 454 00:39:09.080 --> 00:39:12.440 And he cleared the temple more than a couple of times. 455 00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:16.960 He only makes the whip once, but he clears the temple a couple of times. 456 00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:23.040 And I just want to say to you that sometimes love makes a whip. 457 00:39:23.040 --> 00:39:29.440 Let me give you another expression of this burning heart of God. 458 00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:35.640 And we talked about this yesterday coming straight out of the broken heart of God. 459 00:39:35.640 --> 00:39:40.400 I just read a story recently that was from last year. 460 00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:42.880 This happened in February 2020. 461 00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:50.360 There was a man in the Philippines and a sting operation was set on this man in the Philippines 462 00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:55.400 because it actually, there was a man arrested in the United Kingdom who had pornographic 463 00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:59.960 material and they looked at it, looked at it, they tracked it down. 464 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.560 They realized this was current material being produced and they tracked it down to a man in the Philippines and what this man in the Philippines 465 00:40:06.560 --> 00:40:09.640 Was actually doing with his with his wife's 466 00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:12.320 full knowledge is he was actually 467 00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:18.880 Creating pornographic material by sexually abusing his son on 468 00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:24.160 Camera and creating pornographic material for it and I mean like that is crazy 469 00:40:24.160 --> 00:40:26.160 So they set up a sting operation 470 00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:28.360 There was a Christian organization 471 00:40:28.560 --> 00:40:33.080 Involved in this process that actually helped work with a bunch of other law enforcement 472 00:40:33.600 --> 00:40:38.560 Agencies and they set up a sting operation. They actually caught the guy. They got the son free and 473 00:40:39.240 --> 00:40:44.720 The you know, the father was arrested and so was the mother and put on trial for what they've done 474 00:40:44.720 --> 00:40:47.720 But listen, that's just one little tip of the iceberg 475 00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:50.640 story that is actually 476 00:40:51.560 --> 00:40:58.640 Happening the sexual exploitation of babies and children and men and women is happening all over the world right now 477 00:40:58.640 --> 00:41:00.440 We talked about this 478 00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:03.440 Yesterday in the context of the broken heart of God 479 00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:10.000 And so now we want to put this dynamic of it's out of the broken heart of God that the burning heart of God 480 00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:12.240 erupts and 481 00:41:12.240 --> 00:41:16.680 What is it?

He's burning for us to awaken to heaven's finest 496 00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:29.520 He's burning for us to awaken into our inheritance 497 00:42:29.520 --> 00:42:35.400 He's burning for us to awaken into the very finest promises that he has for his burning for us to awaken to arise to 498 00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:38.760 Step up to where we've never gone before to what we've never experienced before 499 00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:44.080 Because God knows that if we awaken into our inheritance, we will blow this world apart 500 00:42:44.080 --> 00:42:50.680 We'll set it on fire and flip it upside down. He's longing for us to awaken right? He's longing for us to 501 00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:54.720 Awaken to the dreams that he has for us 502 00:42:54.720 --> 00:43:00.680 He's longing for us to awaken to our calling which is to make disciples of all nations Matthew 28 503 00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:06.320 19 and 20 Jesus said go therefore and baptize and make disciples of all nations 504 00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:11.960 Baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit if you really want to know what the heart of God 505 00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:14.160 Is burning for more than anything else? 506 00:43:14.160 --> 00:43:19.840 it's not just burning for us to walk in our inheritance because our inheritance is designed to get us to a 507 00:43:20.240 --> 00:43:23.920 destination and what God's heart is burning for more than anything else is the 508 00:43:24.240 --> 00:43:30.240 Destination that he longs us to get to which is baptized to make disciples of all nations 509 00:43:30.240 --> 00:43:37.760 That is the thing that God's heart is burning for more than anything else. It's to make disciples of all nations in this 510 00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:44.520 Concept of making disciples of all nations is something that hasn't been in the forefront of the church 511 00:43:44.520 --> 00:43:45.120 But listen 512 00:43:45.120 --> 00:43:50.840 There's a power here and I want to talk to you about the power of alignment for a moment because if you want to see 513 00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:54.080 The momentum of heaven break out on your life 514 00:43:54.080 --> 00:43:57.080 If you want to see the favor of God break out on your life 515 00:43:57.080 --> 00:43:58.680 Like you've never seen before 516 00:43:58.680 --> 00:44:01.680 then I tell you what you want to do is you want to align with the 517 00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:07.840 Burning heart of God because when you align with the burning heart of God you actually align with heaven's momentum 518 00:44:08.560 --> 00:44:13.680 You know when you're praying and seeking what what should your season look like when you're praying you're seeking God and say hey 519 00:44:13.720 --> 00:44:17.400 What should I be about in this season? What should I be seeking? 520 00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:21.400 What should I devote my life to well what you want to do is you want to not ask? 521 00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:25.840 What do I want? What am I seeking you want to ask God? What do you want? 522 00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:30.440 What are you seeking in the season? What are you seeking God? What are you after in this time? 523 00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:31.440 What are you looking for? 524 00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:32.080 All right 525 00:44:32.080 --> 00:44:37.640 And if you ask God that one of the things that you will find is that what is his heart burning and you don't want 526 00:44:37.640 --> 00:44:41.760 To say God we wouldn't want casually you want to plunge yourself into the fiery 527 00:44:42.040 --> 00:44:47.320 Dynamic of the burning heart of God and say God. What are you burning for? What are you longing for? 528 00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:52.600 What does your heart cry out for? What is your intense emotion longing for and desiring? 529 00:44:52.600 --> 00:44:58.160 What is it that you crave with all of your being and what you'll hear and what you'll find is that the thing that God 530 00:44:58.160 --> 00:45:00.160 Is craving for yes 531 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.600 He has a massive, massive burning heart for you to step into your inheritance, absolutely. 532 00:45:05.600 --> 00:45:10.120 But the reason, right, the bigger picture of why He wants you to step into your inheritance 533 00:45:10.120 --> 00:45:15.880 is because as you step into your inheritance you'll be able to step into, actually be able 534 00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:20.840 to be a part of bringing to fruition the real desire of God, the real burning heart, which 535 00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:27.000 is discipling all nations and making disciples of all nations and baptizing them, completely 536 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:32.720 immersing them, saturating them, inundating them in the nature of the Father, the Son 537 00:45:32.720 --> 00:45:33.720 and the Holy Spirit. 538 00:45:33.720 --> 00:45:37.640 It's immersing entire nations in the divine dance. 539 00:45:37.640 --> 00:45:42.960 That is what God is longing for and as we see yesterday in the broken heart of God, 540 00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:48.300 God's broken as He's waiting for us, but not just ones and twos, to come into the divine 541 00:45:48.300 --> 00:45:49.300 dance. 542 00:45:49.300 --> 00:45:56.080 God is lovesick, broken hearted, waiting for entire nations to come into the divine dance. 543 00:45:56.080 --> 00:46:02.120 God is lovesick, broken hearted, as He waits for nations to come and join the divine dance. 544 00:46:02.120 --> 00:46:07.200 He's lovesick like a father, He's lovesick like a romantic, waiting for nations to come 545 00:46:07.200 --> 00:46:13.480 into that, but also waiting for us, the other dynamic is waiting for us to go, right? 546 00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:18.000 That's what breaks His heart, He's like, ah, whom shall I send and who will go for us? 547 00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:21.760 So the first word that we're talking about today is awaken. 548 00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:25.960 God wants you to awaken to present reality. 549 00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:29.880 He wants you to awaken to your inheritance of what you're actually able to walk and He 550 00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:33.200 wants you to awaken to the unveiling of the sons of God. 551 00:46:33.200 --> 00:46:38.680 He wants you to awaken to that this is one of His desire, massive burning desires on 552 00:46:38.680 --> 00:46:39.680 the heart of God. 553 00:46:39.680 --> 00:46:43.560 So the second word that we're going to look at is arise. 554 00:46:43.560 --> 00:46:47.920 Now, if you've been following me, this word arise has been really significant. 555 00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:54.280 It's been like prophetically, this is one of the most significant words for 2021 is 556 00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:55.280 the word arise. 557 00:46:55.280 --> 00:47:00.920 So if we look at Isaiah 60, it says, arise and shine for your light has come and the 558 00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:04.600 glory of the Lord has risen upon you. 559 00:47:04.600 --> 00:47:09.640 Behold, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord 560 00:47:09.640 --> 00:47:14.520 rises upon you and His glory is seen over you. 561 00:47:14.520 --> 00:47:17.520 All right, let's say that again. 562 00:47:17.520 --> 00:47:25.480 Arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. 563 00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:31.920 Behold, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord 564 00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:39.040 rises upon you, but the Lord rises upon you and His glory is seen upon you. 565 00:47:39.040 --> 00:47:43.320 Some really cool parallels here with Romans 8 as well is that Romans 8 is all about that 566 00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:46.520 revealing of the glory, the awakening of the glory. 567 00:47:46.520 --> 00:47:52.200 And that's the same dynamic of Isaiah 60 is that God's wanting you to awaken to the fact 568 00:47:52.200 --> 00:47:57.960 of the glory, which the word doxa in the Greek is used in Romans 8, it speaks of your identity, 569 00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:03.960 He's wanting you to awaken to your identity. 570 00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:10.360 So this word arise, right, the first word there in Isaiah 60, arise and shine, arise 571 00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:18.240 is the Hebrew word kum, okay, it's Q-U-M, kum, kum, kum, right, that word arise is such 572 00:48:18.240 --> 00:48:23.120 a powerful word because it's the word that they would use when they were summoning people 573 00:48:23.120 --> 00:48:28.040 to battle, okay, like when the trumpets blew, when it was time, when they were assembling 574 00:48:28.040 --> 00:48:31.960 people, when the trumpets were blowing and there was a call to war, when the trumpets 575 00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:38.680 blew and there was a call to war, this is what it meant, it meant you needed to kum, 576 00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:44.200 okay, when you heard those trumpets blowing and summoning for battle, summoning for war, 577 00:48:44.200 --> 00:48:49.280 your response in the Hebrew context, you had to kum at that point, okay, and what kum meant 578 00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:54.680 is to get ready for battle, to prepare yourself for battle and ask yourself right now, what 579 00:48:54.680 --> 00:49:02.000 would change right now if you were to prepare for battle, okay, if all of a sudden you found 580 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:09.680 out that the world was at war, like it was, you know, July the 28th, 1914 and World War 581 00:49:09.680 --> 00:49:15.000 One started, kum, the world came into this place where the world, kum, the world started 582 00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:22.200 to prepare for battle, so it brings an immediate urgency and this is the second word that I 583 00:49:22.200 --> 00:49:30.120 want to highlight to you of, if we want to experience the momentum of heaven and if we 584 00:49:30.120 --> 00:49:35.960 want to experience the favor of God, if we want to experience backing from God like never 585 00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:41.240 before, we want to align with these two words, we want to align with His word for awakening 586 00:49:41.240 --> 00:49:49.360 and we want to align with His word for, to arise, now there is a major, major urgency 587 00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:54.720 connected to that word kum, that word kum changes everything, you go from casual to 588 00:49:54.720 --> 00:49:59.960 intense, you go into peacetime to war, the core of it. 589 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.960 Is that urgency changes like never before your priorities shift your priorities change and you 590 00:50:07.520 --> 00:50:12.240 Uh, it's like time to get battle ready.

That's where their quarters were 655 00:54:46.900 --> 00:54:51.380 They were right by the life jackets and they so they actually had life jackets 656 00:54:51.620 --> 00:54:54.900 And so they were really confused about why all these it was a young group 657 00:54:54.900 --> 00:54:59.860 Okay, it was like a youth group and so they were really concerned and confused afterwards 658 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:07.220 About why they all died when they had so much access like they were right by the life jackets, and they got life jackets on so 659 00:55:08.720 --> 00:55:10.400 159 660 00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:14.620 Members of the Salvation Army youth group died right only eight survived 661 00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:19.040 159 died eight survived, and why did they serve? Why did they dice? 662 00:55:19.200 --> 00:55:25.000 Why do they all die it's because here's what happened right because these Salvation Army members this youth group 663 00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:30.640 They had come to a place of quorum right where they didn't understand. They understood the urgency of the gospel 664 00:55:30.640 --> 00:55:35.080 They understood the urgency of their calling and so what they did it is this 665 00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:39.060 1477 people dying in the water there 666 00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:46.280 They are swimming around to these people and they're saying to them. Do you know Jesus and 667 00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:51.800 If they answered no then the youth group those members of the youth group 668 00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:57.760 They gave those people their life jackets, and then said then you need this more than me 669 00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:01.200 and they gave them the life jackets and 670 00:56:01.720 --> 00:56:03.240 then 671 00:56:03.240 --> 00:56:09.100 Just died in the water. They drowned in the water and so only eight survived 672 00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:11.840 159 of them died 673 00:56:11.840 --> 00:56:15.400 because they'd come to a place of quorum, but I 674 00:56:16.840 --> 00:56:19.400 Read a beautiful story afterwards of this really 675 00:56:20.240 --> 00:56:22.240 Rough guy 676 00:56:22.520 --> 00:56:28.440 testifying afterwards that you know he was given this young girl swam up to him and 677 00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:31.360 Gay and asked him do you know Jesus? 678 00:56:31.360 --> 00:56:38.080 And he said I don't know Jesus and like really aggressive like not into Jesus, and you know just and really 679 00:56:39.040 --> 00:56:44.380 Anti and against this concept of being asked do I know Jesus even though he's in the waters drowning and she said well 680 00:56:44.380 --> 00:56:48.880 Then you need this more than I do and this young girl this young girl gave this 681 00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:56.320 Older angry man her life jacket, and he took it and she died and then he gave his life 682 00:56:56.840 --> 00:56:58.840 to Jesus 683 00:56:59.120 --> 00:57:00.680 afterwards and 684 00:57:00.680 --> 00:57:02.000 There's a really powerful 685 00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:07.920 Legacy of all the things that actually happened as a result of those young people swimming around and giving their life jackets away 686 00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:11.840 But the point of that is that they had quorum 687 00:57:11.880 --> 00:57:15.800 They had come to a place of understanding their calling that had come to a place of 688 00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:21.520 Prioritizing the urgency of the gospel and so we're going to wrap it up 689 00:57:22.600 --> 00:57:24.600 for there today 690 00:57:24.680 --> 00:57:31.640 Tomorrow we're going to explore love the sessions called love unstoppable and what we're going to look at tomorrow is we look at 691 00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:33.960 ways that 692 00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:40.920 When people have actually done this what's happened when people awaken what's happened when people arise what's happened when people have? 693 00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:45.640 Aligned with the heart of God to dream for discipling 694 00:57:46.080 --> 00:57:46.960 Nations, okay 695 00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:54.120 Because something happens when we align with the heart of God to disciple nations where the impossible can happen 696 00:57:54.120 --> 00:57:58.920 What something happens with and I want to say this and I want to speak this over your life and declare this over your life 697 00:57:58.920 --> 00:58:01.040 I want to pray as we bring this to a close 698 00:58:01.040 --> 00:58:05.040 But I want to declare it over your life as you come into alignment, right? 699 00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:08.960 God loves it when we come into alignment before assignment. So as you come into 700 00:58:09.840 --> 00:58:12.160 Alignment by awakening by you know 701 00:58:12.160 --> 00:58:16.120 By just allowing this fresh hunger allowing this fresh desire 702 00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:21.600 Allowing this fresh awakening to your calling that you are called to walk in the greater things. You are called to do 703 00:58:22.240 --> 00:58:27.640 The impossible you are called to walk like those saints of old like Christ himself 704 00:58:27.640 --> 00:58:30.680 You're called to live in you at the fullness of your inheritance 705 00:58:30.680 --> 00:58:35.920 and there's a reason why God wants you to live in the fullness of your inheritance because when you step into the fullness of 706 00:58:36.080 --> 00:58:44.040 Inheritance, you're actually empowered to go after and fulfill the real burning desire of the heart of God the real burning heart of God 707 00:58:44.320 --> 00:58:47.160 the real burning heart of God is to 708 00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:51.800 Seek and to save the lost it's to disciple nations 709 00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:55.000 And when we come we we align with that where we awaken to that 710 00:58:55.640 --> 00:59:01.960 Something happens right and the same thing happens when we awaken to this call to quorum.
