Kingdom Mentality vs. Church-Building Mentality
Chris Berglund (Teaching)


If the local church isn't a house of prayer, it's missing its calling as a local church - Raising up the house of prayer
within every church

HUNGER

We never get more from God than what we long for. He's the rewarder of those
Once we become satisfied, everything stops at that point. Once we stop longing for more of Him, it stops flowing.

Part of what happens in the body is when we become satisfied at a point, where we have a secure seat in heaven,
but become satisfied with just living our lives for ourselves. He gives us hunger, and our response is that if we
hunger for more of Him, He gives us more.

Elijah and Elisha - Elisha not staying in any of the 3 cities.
Going the extra mile with God

What are we doing with our hunger for the Lord?

Going on towards perfection - "Go on to fulfilling all I've called you to."
It shouldn't surprise us that God will show us specifically what we'll do. He's interested in revelation because He isn't interested in man's good ideas, but his Son's ideas.

If you created it, you have to sustain it. If you have revelation, you can't be proud of it, because you didn't make it in the first place.

Being a burnt offering - specific offerings. If we're not perceiving God's thoughts, we haven't put our head on the altar. If we aren't receiving God's strength, it's because we haven't offered up our human strength. Offering up our insides, the emotions. Offeringup the legs, our walk. It's an invitation.

This (the house of prayer) should be the "funnest" place to be.

God wants to answer our prayers more than we want them answered. We've got the most powerful words - the Rhema words.

There's no reason we shouldn't be as on fire as John the Baptist.

If we're sharing our passions in other areas, our passion for God is diluted. "Give all your soul, might, mind, and soul" that doesn't leave a lot of room!! What you treasure, there will your heart be also. Where are you using your time? What you treasure, you will be using your time on.

Suddenly fasting because a privelege, not a burden!!

We're in a crossover time in New England! We can't be thinking ' how can I save my life? ' ! What is the measure of your prayers right now? What is it going to mean to your normal day, your everyday life? He's a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
