Today's Lesson: The Fourth Dimension #14
Incubation: A Law of Faith
4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37: 4 There are 4 basic elements in the incubation of faith to operate in the fourth dimension. They are: #1) Envision a Clear Cut Objective. #2) Have a Burning Desire. #3) Pray for the Assurance. #4) Speak The Word.
We have spent much time on laying the foundation on element number one which is "envisioning a clear cut objective." You must decide what you want and make it vividly clear in your heart in mind. Faith is the substance of "clear-cut" things. Faith must have a goal. There is an old saying that is apropos here; "If you chase two rabbits, you won't catch either of them."
Now let us start to study element number two.
#2) Have a Burning Desire. If you have a vivid picture, you should have a burning desire for those objectives. Many people just pray casually, "God answer my prayer," and before they leave the place of prayer they have forgotten all of the things they prayed for. That kind of attitude will never bring the faith that it takes to receive from God. You need to have a burning desire. Proverbs 10: 24 says, the desire of the righteous shall be granted. Psalm 37: 4 reads, 4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
RED-HOT DESIRE You should have a burning desire for your goal and you should see the goal accomplished. When you have a burning desire, you think about it, you walk with it, you sleep with it, you dream about it, you DESIRE it. Mark 11: 24 (King James Version) reads, Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. You have to have a burning desire in your heart. God does not like the lukewarm, He specializes in the "red-hot"; if you have a red hot burning desire, then you are going to have results.

THE PRAYER
9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6: 9-13 NKJV
