Cool Jesus story."},"content":{"rendered":"

So a couple of weeks ago my older sister Sarah tells me about this organization called “The Burn 24\/7” and how she is all jazzed about it and how it is amazing. lol. So she shows me the website. It is basically 24\/7 worship just for the specific purpose of getting into God’s presence. There are 40 different Burn centers (or “furnaces” as they call them) across the US and also some in foreign nations. At these “Furnaces” they meet once a month and will go 72 hours straight night\u00a0and day of doing nothing but worshipping. No one preaches, no one prays (they do in the congregation, but not corporately led from the microphone), it is just praise and worship to the King for the sole purpose of getting into His presence. They describe themselves as “presence junkies” and they describe the Burn services as hanging out in God’s living room. Here, check it out for yourself. There is a video on the front page.\u00a0 www.burn24-7.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Me and my sister both thought it was really cool. We noticed that there was one in Arkansas so we started contemplating how we could get involved with it.\u00a0It looked like something that we would really love to be a part of. Shortly after that we heard about a prayer and worship event that some locals were putting together at the Little Rock River Market Amphitheatre with an IHOP team and a team from the Burn in Tulsa! We were really pumped about getting to meet and connect with the Burn team to see how we could get involved. Well, a couple of days before the event we heard that the Burn team had to cancel. We were a little bummed but still excited about the event. So we go.<\/p>\n

I am minding my own business sitting on a bench in the amphitheatre worshipping the Lord when I see my sister waving me over. When i get to her she is talking to another woman. It ends up that it is the National Director for The Burn from the headquarters in Dallas!<\/p>\n

This is what had happened before my sister called me over. The national director for The Burn (Tracey) was talking to the director of “Praise on the River” (the event that we were at) when she saw me. She asked the director, “Who is that over there in the yellow shirt?” My sister was standing close to them and overheard them. So she spoke up and said, “That my little brother.”\u00a0Tracey asked, “Is he a minstrel?” My sister told her yes. So\u00a0Tracey said, “Call him over here.”<\/p>\n

When I got over there\u00a0Tracey said, “Have you ever heard of The Burn?” I told her that my sister had told me about it. She went on to explain that she was the national director and was from the headquarters in Dallas, TX. She told me the reason that she had called me over was because when she saw me she had seen in the Spirit the same mantle on me that all of the worship leaders for The Burn carry! (Keep in my mind, I had never seen or met this lady before in my life and I thought that all the Burn people had cancelled)<\/p>\n

She proceeded to ask me if\u00a0I had ever considered doing music and worship for a living. I told her that\u00a0I was going to be in a couple of months. After talking for a couple of minutes she\u00a0invited me to get involved with The Burn and also invited me to lead worship for The Burn events. She told me that\u00a0I could even do it while\u00a0I was on the road.\u00a0Stopping at different Burns across the nation!<\/p>\n

So I went from just wanting to know how\u00a0I could get in contact with someone at The Burn to being personally invited by one of\u00a0the National Directors to lead worship at any Burn across the US! Just because she saw a mantle on me in the Spirit when she saw me at the event. Now that is an encounter that\u00a0I could never have dreamed up or created\u00a0on my own. God is so creative.<\/p>\n

Tracey\u00a0also talked and prayed with my sister about becoming a director for a Burn Center here in central Arkansas!<\/p>\n

My sister and I are going to experience our first Burn service this week. I’m excited!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
