A burning heart - Bro Samuel Howell 8-20-2023

The Lord boy ahead he continue that attitude of worship. Can't praise him enough

for everything he's done for us, the crazy, for all eternity, and

still not be enough. So the things that he saved is from the the

time he's come in and provided for us, made away when there're seemed to

be in no way. He's a good God and greatly to be praised.

We'll be looking in uh Psalms thirty nine. I think the Lord for this

opportunity, but also think my pastor as well. Considered a privilege and honor.

To stand behind this pulpit. Is certainly a humbling thing to stand behind

the pulpit it was such a mighty anointed man of God creatures from him.

But it also is a blessing to sit in. A few would be fed

by the man that sits behind this pool. Yeah, I don't desire the

pulpit, but I do want to give thanks and appreciation for it. We'll

be looking in Psalms thirty nine versus chapter three or verse three. Sorry,

Psalms thirty nine and three. If you have it, you say, man

says my heart was hot within me while I was musing the fire burn.

Then I spoke with my tongue, and if anyone knows how the service went

this morning, you'll see how the Lord has tied this together. As we

the Nathaniel stood up behind this pulpit said, I got an obey God.

I thought about the quartet needs to sing this song. We sang Christian Canyon

Burn, and I plumb beside myself got excited, but I was trying to

keep my composure because I didn't want to be a distraction. But I know

nothing that the Lord does is a distraction. But let's read that again.

It says my heart was hot within me while I was musing the fire burn.

Then I spoke with my tongue. Let's pray and ask God to help.

We ask that you please come by in this place, Lord God.

I ask that you God is my All the prays to God and fetter again

God to be God. I ask touch someone to help. Lord be going

cord to your plan. Lord. Let us go down deep to learn,

Lord God, and take through card and your precious son's pay or God and

den pray more than we asked me. Mord you all day we prays any

man and anyway and hewn do you Holly Louisa. When the pastor reached out

to us and asked us to be ready. Uh. At the time,

I didn't have nothing on my heart, but I said, need to get

a hold of God. And I went prayer, and I like when the

thing I said. I obeyed Pastor and set aside an hour to pray and

to also read my Bible. And as I began to pray, I was

just praying, Lord help us in the in the day to day life.

I think I was thinking for everything. And then UH asked him to give

me something to share with his people that would be a help in the strength

and two and Uh. He didn't speak to me audibly, but I pictured

something in my head and just stuck there and I haven't been able to shake

it. But I seen a heart on fire. I just seen a heart

and it was flaming, gulfed in flames, just burning. Every since then,

it's been eating on me for the past couple of days. I'd like

to preach on a burning heart, if the Lord would be a helper.

We all know what it is to set up a camp fire in the winter

months when we need heat, when we supply heat and we get up close

to up and get warm by it. But as a score, it ends

no, we don't get many cold months. We get cold days here,

and we have to take advantage of the cold days we have when we want

to have a fire, and a fire puts off heat, providing comfort during

cold. Without heat, in some places, you can suffer a hard death,

you can freeze to death. You must have a fire or some type

of heat source to survive. And we definitely have a heat source coming from

this pulpit every day. Every week we receive encouraging text throughout the week.

Our pastor takes the time to send us a little wood that way, to

add a little fuel to our fire to get us through to the other service.

We have to have a source of heat. Praise God. And then

the cold living. And we're living in a cold world where there is no

heat, where they think nothing of just taking a life, and all they

care about is himself, like when the jest he said, they don't really

care about their children. Just throw them to the dogs, throw them to

a cold world, and they don't seem to have a care really, But

that's what the world has come to. Without heat or without a burning fire,

you won't make it. And in order to keep your heart burning,

you must keep the fire burning by using the word of the Lord, and

by adding prayer to your life, and by adding the wood to your life.

You may wonder how to feed your wood to your fire, but as

I just said, this is how you go to church faithfully. You read

and pray faithfully day in and day out. That's how you continue to add

flames and wood to your fire. And that's how the burning begins to stay

in the heat and you begin to be worn by it throughout the week.

As the devil comes in and tries to douse your fire with the water and

tries to put out your flame. But by the word of God, you

can add heat, put the in. You can stir up that gift once

again again to burn again, and you can begin to be warm. How

old, you must be careful what you used to build your fire with.

It matters this day and age what you build your fire with or what material

you used to warm your heart with. Not all wood is good for a

fire. Some can make you deadly sick. If you're trying to build your

fire and to warm your heart by finding random preachers on YouTube, you're only

poisoning yourself. Possibly it can be deadly to it. You must be careful

with what you put on your fire. This reminds me of a story that

I wasn't theraphysically there. But whether you're five, brother Nathaniel, brother Jesse,

now I can think your sister was. And they went to have a

camp fire with one of their friends and another more up towards the north of

Florida. And it was a girl, and she built the fire. And

two lessons to be learned of this, and never let a girl build a

fire, and also check the fire before you eat over it. But they

began to eat, and they began to cook and roach marshmallows and hot dogs,

and they noticed something strange. I believe it was the smokes a whole

lot blacker or something. Then they got looking at it, and she had

just threw a railroad tide and said, this will be wood enough. Not

all wood is good. And if anyone knows about railroad tides, they're soaked

and all kinds of toxins to curve and to make it last. And they

begin to eat on that. Thank God that they didn't get sick or anything

by the mercies of God. But that's why it's so vital you watch what

you feed your heart and what you good on your fire. We can tell

when you're using the wrong kind of one to warm your heart. Fight.

We can tell when you're using the wrong kind of fire by the smoke that

you're putting off, by the way you say things you shouldn't say, by

the way you act. You begin to release the toxic poison that begins to

poison others. You may not realize that you're doing it, but because you

haven't been paying attention to what you're feeding your thoughts, you haven't been paying

attention to what you're putting on your heart. You haven't been paying attention to

what you're watching. You're just not slantly getting on there. Then this random

preacher will do no. Not every preacher is called of God, called of

saying. You have to be careful with what your warn your fire bull It

matters what you feed your fire, and it matters what you feed your heart.

The fire is your heart, and it eats up your heart, begins

to eat up everything that you throw it away. It begins to soak up

everything you throw things of this world at it. It's going to put off

toxic poison. And like I said, you begin to poison others how they

move you. If you feed it the word of God, it's going to

put off a sweet smell. There's somewhat when it begins to burn, it

is a sweet aroma. It is a beautiful thing to sit around and can't

find that's made a good wood. And that's what we do here in this

church. Thank God for our pastor who begins to feed us here wood and

begins to warm our heart with the fire that he makes. The fire with

no spoke. It's a hot fire. That's a good fire. That's the

fire to lot your heart with. There it says, my heart was hot

within me. It's your heart hot within you that you let your heart going

out the burning for a while. Do you miss that burning feeling in your

heart? Boy? I don't want to lose my burning feeling. I must

muse upon scriptures day and night. That word me use me to meditate.

Are you thinking a good things? It says in't the word of God is

death? Hide the word of God in your heart that you might not sin

against him. I just wouldn't to your heart every day a feat yourself every

day and tanned into your heart and let God do his way us and quick

feed yourself that toctic poison us and put putting that nasty wood on your fire

hull you let your heart be hot within you, holleou you right here.

In Jama twenty, in verse nine, it says, in the latter part,

but his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in

my vaults. Then it says out here says I was weary with forbearing and

could not stay. Here is saying I ain't take it anymore. The fire

that's burning in me, I gotta share it with someone. That if you

have something learning us, don't keep it to yourself. You have to share

the flame. Sweating pasture come in here every thursd They kept the plane for

himself. That this is not fire. Go find your own. Let's God

think God for a pasture. Who wants to share the flame? Hellelo God

Hell that love you love me, helping love you the flame that starts in

the belt from you. Finally deciding that I want a burning heart could verywhere

calls a wild fire in the bell. We don't need that. It's pouring

no Mormon, PALTI. Let's God are trying to go to church chairs,

getting behind your pastures, and began to aid the solid wood. I put

the old wood on their sno't going around saying your brothers sno't going around that

in one another and a good wood to your fire. Hell. I want

to see a church full of wildfires, not a church full of wet wood

sitting on the pues, just taking up space. Hallelujah. His word was

in my heart, and a burning fire brings God. It takes a spark

to make a flame, and it takes a flame to make a fire,

and it takes a wind to make a wildfire. I pray breathe on this

old breast of God. Someone with a burning heart. Don't only have to

burn with pastures here, But you don't have to burn when he's only hair.

Give my burn all the time, whether he's here or not. I

do have to get behind one another. If that just takes Troy burning with

pastures hair, you're only in it for him. You gotta be in it

for God. If ye have the pastures back, but on only burn when

he's here. Don't only sit on the queue and get off your tail.

Put he's here, Get off your tail and worship God and fillow it out

even sat point, he's flowing up. He's taking tired of coming in and

playing clean up. Fuck one with a heart on fire, show the up

early to break someone with a heart on fire. Don't come dragging in and

start time. It's in now. I need to get a hold of God.

And no, you should have got a hold of God the four Church

and not try to start time. Halleluten, you have a burning heart,

move me. I still feel mine. I feel that fire that German I

was talking about. You gotta let it burn. Feed it what it longs

for, feeding that word, feed at the word of God. Feeding it

longs to hear from God while you're down on your knees and it's your heart

burning from the fire the world? Or will it be burning because of the

flames of hell? You know, someone could be sitting near a fire and

still be cold. Are you sitting near the fire and are you still cold?

Whose father is that? It's not that the pastor, is the preacher

what's on his heart? It's because you're sitting away from the fire. Brother

Jesse, he said to sit towards the back, do not want control and

clothes and praise God. If the pastor says, get close to where the

heat is. Then, Bless God. I want to be close to where

the heat is. Praise God. Is your heart burning from the flames of

hell? Or will it be burning from the flames of the Word of God?

Feed your heart to heat. That's where the heart relies on. Your

heart needs heat to be. When someone freezes to death, the first thing

to stop working is the heart. It has to have that warm blood flowing

through there. It has to have it, or you can't live without it.

It goes the thing for us spiritually. Without the heat, there is

no life in us. We must have a burning heart. And look twenty

two and thirty two, and says and they said one to another, did

not our heart burn within us? While he talked with us by the way,

while he opened up the scriptures. God, I can say, I

know what they're talking about. When I read my Bible. When I begin

to feel the burning in my heart, it begins to restore things. It

begins to give hope again. It begins to join them my day. Let

your heart take a place by the fire. Let it begin to be warned

by the fire. How they love you, how they love you. Raise

the Lord all your people how they do. A fire is used to purify

things. It's made to purify gold by the heat and pushes out all the

dirt where it's nothing, the pure gold it brings. It pushes out all

the bad, and it brings the good to the surface. If the fire

begins to purify things, then let your heart burn within you. Let it

be as a fire. Shut up in your bone, Let a blaze be

in your soul, Be a witness to the world, Be a light set

upon the hill, be a light in the darkness. Set your heart burn

that it burns away in faint too. We are made to be in the

likeness of Christ. We are made in His likeness. It's someone here to

burn. Or are you gonna sit there on the pila and just let someone

else catch the fire that was intended for you? So are you gonna sit

and by the way up and let the satan burn out your fire and dump

wonderful and rain on your parade? Have it? Have a burning heart helped

you? And now I'm not talking about physical heartburns. Our pastor knows all

about that. But I believe in me, all right. If we had

some spiritual heartburn in this place, tonight, stop throwing water on your fire

by not feeding it the word of God. And that's no different it if

you're walked up with a bucket of sin and just doused it on it.

If I'm not feeding it the prayer that it needs, that's so different than

walking over there grabbing your waterholes and beat into sprays and let all that boat

come up in your face and it begins to burn your eyes. And that's

what you do when you don't feed at the fire and feed at the heated

needs a fire in order to work. It needs two important components. It

needs wood, it needs air. Without either, you don't got a fire.

You can have a flame on your lottery, but that's by gas,

but it still needs that air in order to breathe, breathe God. A

fire must have air to burn, and you need the wood. You need

the word of God to feed your fire. And you need the breast of

God in order to supply the oxygen that your fire needs in order to burn

properly. If there's just a little bit of oxen, you'll just have a

small flame. But as we see it, tonight can breast that God has

already come in here and we don't God just a small fire, We got

a big camp fire. Praise be to God Hell the who you have a

horn? As I said early in their own thought of this service, that

song that they sung this morning, Christian, can you burn? Rotheranthaniel have

no idea what the Lord ha laid on my heart? I asked, I

asked again, can you burn? Or is the wood that you have wet

to the point where you can't burn? Have you been putting wet food on

your heart's fire? Are you feeding the word or are you feeding it?

The word? How they lou here? I want you to notice something real

fit for me that I feel like the Lord showed me dear in my actnue

prayer. As I was preparing in your head, would you spell the word

word? Then spell the word word? Did anyone in there notice a difference

in there? There's one thing that changes the word. It is a simple

ell. That's all that changes it. That's the power of something small,

one small thing. That one ell changes the whole word? Or well?

Are you adding the ell to your word and making it become the world.

The world will give you a burning experience, but it will be in hell

and the Devil's hell. But the Word will give you a gift of burning

in heaven and burning on this earth. Burning is a wonderful feeling that I

have. When you get in hell, it won't be a wonderful feeling.

It'll be a tormenting feeling. Well, let your heart burn with a word

and knock with the world. God will give you what it takes to burn.

Whether it's for Him or whether it's in hell, you will burn at

thunk point in time. Do you have a burning heart to life? All

it takes is one flame to start an unstoppable fire. It was in California.

They have them random wildfires, and a lot of times they say they're

started by someone just throwing a cigarette out on the side of the road.

And a cigarette is just an ember that's glow, and that's all it is.

That's all it takes. Calleluia. We just had a wildfire here at

best a little while ago in February. That's a wildfire that I'll never forget,

that I'll forever changed by. It all started one night on a Wednesday

night, when brother Jesse received the Holy Goos and he began to burn,

and it made myself and the other say I want to feel that burnie that

he's feeling. Oh, how good it feels. It's a feeling that better

felt and told the Holy Ghost come down. Then you let your heart begin

to burn by the fires. Let the Holy Ghost have his way. He

let it burn until he comes. It's the word of God and praying and

going to the church. Isn't your priority, then there's something wrong with your

heart, isn't It isn't burnie because of God. If your job or hanging

out with your friends it's the highlight of your weak then you you most likely

have a problem. Praise God. Now, don't get me wrong. Friends

is a good thing to have, and a job the great thing to happen.

Did your family depends on it? But that must not be the priority

in your life. The almighty dollars but not be the priority. This word

of time must be the priority. In your knee must be the priority.

Throwing up on time for turn put be the priority every time. The north

the rope, and that must be your priority. How they Lord happen.

I pray that the Lord will let a fire start with me, mother guessing

if you come to the p let it like begin in my heart. Let

my burning heart cause someone else to catch on fire. If something is too

close to the heat for a long amount of time, it begins to catch

fire, and it begins to burn. That can very well happen to someone

close to you. Only because you have a burning heart, Only because you're

feeding your heart the right wood. You're not just throwing any old wood.

Not any old wood will do. And you're not letting off the toxic smoke

and a toxic poison. A heart burning with the the God, and a

heart burning with a love for backsliders and sinners. That after you importance of

a burning heart. Without a burning heart, you can't read for no one.

You're not. You're in the same state that they're en sure. You

might not be sinning, but your heart must be on fire for God.

And I ain't think you got to be a preacher or anything like that to

have a burning heart. He said, while he was reading the Word of

God, his fire was like a fire shut up in his balls. Feed

your heart. That that's all. Well, you want a burning heart tonight?

Is that what it's going to be to take. That's what it's gonna

take, day in and day out, and this day and age we have

to have a burning heart to survive. That's all the prey, and find

a place to pray. His word was in my heart as a burning fire.

Shut up in my balls. I pray that we get a burning heart

tonight. Let me start with me. Open up by be my heart with

your compression, breathe my mind from all distractions used by hands, Set the

county free, who my feet the fall or after you don't change your world

and let it start with me, Let it all. Let start with me,

open up my free my heart with your compassion, breathe my mind from

all distraction used by hands, Set the captain free in my feet to madle

after I'll change your word and let it start with me. In the streets

of everything, every city soary in town efty people live in the darkness every

minute, every year. He's the cause of desperation from a billion broken heart

with a decent grate. Where do we start? Let him start me,

or beno mind my heart your compassion behind, be all his fast and find

to send the captain gray who we want be the all alact lord change the

world and let us start. Let its start with me, my eye,

bring my heart with your compassion, breath alight from all distractions. Use by

change the world, and let it start with me. You can beat him

in sea quarters. There's a place where everyone. I don't want to miss

my vision in the plan that you've begun. You may promise to you gonna

with me to the end. You serve, beat all and change everything to

keep me from your car lety. Start with me, Lord, with the
