Adoration: The Forgotten Faces of God (Hartley)
ƒ
INTRODUCTION TO ACTS MODEL OF ADORATION:
•
PROCESS: We enter His courts and magnify the Lord (Ps. 34:3),
pushing everything besides Him into the background. We focus not
on ourselves, but “fixing our eyes on Jesus,” we adore Him for who
He is. We do not ask anything from Him, but only love Him and
adore Him. We boast in the Lord (1 Cor. 1:29). Loveliness has
great power in it. when we get a glimpse of Him, we change. We
seek him to give Him honor and receive His love. SOS 5:12 – We
adore Him to see His face and His eyes. When we do, everything
changes!
•
PREMISE: Our lives are all about the discovery of Jesus and
His forgotten faces! There is nothing more attractive than a life of
devotion unto God. A lifetime of devotion takes time and
discipline to cultivate, but yields eternal rewards. Some will do it
for ‘corruptible crowns’, but our motivation is for an ‘Eternal
Crown’. We adore our God because He is worthy of all of our
praise!
•
It is the hour to “Behold the Man, Christ Jesus” and to love His
appearing. There is the age-old principle that states we become
what we behold. Our goal is to become more like Christ Jesus.
Therefore, we gaze upon Him and proclaim who He is to become
more like Him. He wants to open our eyes in adoration prayer.
Definition of Adoration: I Cor. 3:18 “Do not deceive yourselves. If any
one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should
become a "fool" so that he may become wise.”
o When we would Become the “Come and See People who
are those See His Heart.” All of life is an opportunity to
see and love Him more. We start with a ‘Narrow View of
God’ and move to a ‘Broader and Broader and Deeper
View’ of God, just like Song of Solomon 1:3-4 to Song of
Solomon 3:2 – we see the diverse administration of
intimacy, or ways into the Forgotten Faces of God. We
must see Him! If we neglect our devotional life, trying to
rush into His presence, we will not cultivate the intimacy we
need with Him in life. This is the secret to prevent
backsliding.

o Intimacy in all of life – What are our ministries and lives
about? Leading others into seeing Jesus in first place in all
of life. The most miserable man was not the one who lost a
million dollars. The most miserable man is the one that God
has left. (1 Samuel 26:5 – God forsake me! there is nothing
more desperate than a man without God!)
Ephesians 1:17-19 – eyes of the heart enlightened. Secret disciplined life. We
must pursue him and keep on coming / Hebrews 12:3 – consider Jesus. Worship
him fully and freely. He did not teach us to make money. He taught us to pray /
2 Corinthians 11:3 – never leave simple devotion. God is the God of wonder /
Philippians 3:10 – know the fellowship of His sufferings and the power of His
resurrection / Psalm 24:1 – the earth and its fullness are the Lord’s / Isaiah 66:1 –
He wants a dwelling place (Psalm 132 / 137 – such a rich God!) / Colossians 3:4
– when Christ appears, we will also appear with Him in glory. We must draw
near / 1 Corinthians 2:10 - God has revealed them through His Spirit, which
searches all things, yes, the deep things of God / 1 Corinthians 15:38 - man was
made of dust, so also are we; and the heavenly Man, so also are we heavenly.
o Prophetically, we are on a Journey to a ‘Deeper and
Broader View of God’ - The God of Life. This is the
journey of restoring Jesus to first place in the marketplace.
Our main reason for adoring Him is because He’s worthy!

•
Job 22:24-25 – Divine Transfer of His gold for our
gold / Ezekiel 34:31 (feed the flock of God on the
“Knowledge of God”). The Lord is inviting us into
a new door – paradigms recoded about God. There
is an open ‘Library of Heaven’ about Him.
PROCLAIMING ADORATION: We will proclaim his face,
give biblical examples and share business examples for how we
discovered each “Forgotten Face of God”.
• Song of Solomon 8:6 – “Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; For
love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; its flames are flames of fire, a most
vehement flame.”
• Job 22:24-25 - “Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace; thereby good will come to
you.” God’s presence is more dynamic than gold and silver
• Romans 8:15 - For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you
received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” You are an
AMAZING Father!

My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I shall be confident.
One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD
And to meditate in His temple.
For in the day of trouble [You] will conceal me in [Your] tabernacle;
In the secret place of [Your] tent [You] will hide me;
[You] will lift me up on a rock.
And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in [Your] tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;

My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long;

it will be granted him. 24“Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray
and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.
Luke 11:9-13 (Amp)

So I say to you, Ask and keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and
keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door
shall be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks and keeps on asking
receives; and he who seeks and keeps on seeking finds; and to him who
knocks and keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened. 11What father
among you, if his son asks for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone; or if he
asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent? 12Or if he asks for an
egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If you then, evil as you are, know how to give
good gifts [gifts that are to their advantage] to your children, how much more

cross.” Phil 2:5-8
Near Ps 145:18

showing us mercy. He cannot be anything other than what he is. He is true to His covenants.
Example: The Nature of God
Universal- Is 40:12

of His name - “I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:34-35. In addition to
this in Revelation 1:16 The Son of Man is described as having “a two-edged sword” coming
forth from his mouth. Even His words cause war to break out.
The name of Jesus is spoken it also causes war to break out.

Consecration
24
Matthew 16:24-25
(NASB)
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he
must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. 25“For whoever
wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will
find it.
Romans 12:1-2 (NASB)
1
Therefore I urge you, brethren, [in view of] the mercies of God, [the cross],
to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is
your spiritual service of worship. 2And do not be conformed to this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the
will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Galatians 2:20 (NASB)
20
“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ
lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son
of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Ephesians 5:1-2 (NASB)
1
2 Cor 5:14-15 (NASB)
For Christ’s love compels [Greek: compels, perplexes, preoccupies] us,
because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he
died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for
him who died for them and was raised again.
Romans 8:31-39
(NASB)
31
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; 2and walk in love, just as
Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice
to God as a fragrant aroma.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how
will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33Who will bring a charge
against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34who is the one who
condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at
the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35Who will separate us from
the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36Just as it is written,
“For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;
We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved
us. 38For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height,
nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the
love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh,

What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source
your pleasures that wage war in your members? 2You lust and do not have; so
you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and

receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on
your pleasures. 4You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the

“Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever,

“It is He who changes the times and the epochs;

35
“All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
But He does according to His will in the host of heaven
And among the inhabitants of earth;
And no one can ward off His hand
Or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’
36
“At that time my reason returned to me. And my majesty and splendor were
restored to me for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and my
nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my sovereignty, and
surpassing greatness was added to me. 37“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise,
exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways
just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”

PROCLAMATION: THE FORGOTTEN FACES OF GOD (HARTLEY)
2.
Page 103
Proclamation: The Forgotten Faces of God (Hartley)
The next step is PROCLAMATION: to CONFESS AND PROFESS Him and His
promises in us and through us.
A. PROCESS: First, we went into His courts of praise and adored Him. Now that we see our
need of Him (1 John 1:9), we confess our sins as we come into His light. We are not judged
by ourselves. We go to Exodus 30:18 – “You shall also make a layer of bronze with its base
also of bronze, for washing.” Confession releases spiritual power and breaks the power of
sin- just like when we were born again – and releases the power of God.
B. PREMISE and DEFINITION: Simply put Confession/Proclamation is to say and agree
what God is saying in and through ourselves, others and His plans. In essence, we are
proclaiming His promises. The goal is to agree with His word and confess Him in all we do,
not only confess our dirty, filthy sins. We are to surrender to who He is in us and through
us. We actually move forward in Him through Confession/Profession. We are ‘dark, but
lovely’ to Him (SOS 1:5). Worthy is He to confessed/proclaimed in us and through us! We
are to proclaim Who he is in us and to proclaim His promises to help us rise above the
waves of the short-sighted circumstances of the day.
1. Confession/Proclamation is to see all maters His way and proclaim this way’s. “Oh
Magnify the Lord” (Psalm 34:3) in our souls, instead of magnifying our condition. We
are to magnify Him in us and through us. Proclamation prayer is proclamation of God’s
perspective. Miraculous things will happen if we declare the Truth of Who God is in us
and through us. Confession/Proclamation brings many sons & daughters to glory.
Being a “new creation” is not just about being “morally better” people, but being a “new
species” filled with different motives and a different life (1 Corinthians 15:31 – die daily
to who we are).
2. The GOAL of Confession/Proclamation is that we would proclaim the truth of who
God is in us and through us. Christ in us and through us is our “hope of glory”
(Colossians 1:27) and the knowledge of every good thing is in us for Christ’s sake
(Philemon 1:6). All of God’s plans for the marketplace are locked up in His heart and
are to be revealed in and through us to marketplace forerunners – “Pioneers of
Practical Intimacy” – through the Holy Spirit. So we will proclaim who He is in us and
through us.

C. PROCLAIM: Now we begin to proclaim – Confess and Profess the Scripture out loud.
These are awesome prophecies about God and about who He says He is in us and through
us. This is what God says. I leave blanks to profess God in all of life’s situations.
o We profess/confess the FORGOTTEN FACE OF GOD AS THE “MATURE, COMPOSED
GOD” in us and through us in all of life and in the marketplace. We confess and proclaim the
mature and composed image of His Son! Profess that in Him we will have rest and
confidence in decision making.
We profess:
Philippians
1:6
Philippians
1:28
Isaiah 30:15
Ecclesiastes
10:4
Romans 12:2
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to
completion until the day of Christ Jesus. He is patriarchal and sees far out to
build.
In no way should you be alarmed by your opponents--which is a sign of
destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.
In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…
a. “If the ruler rises against you, do not leave your post”.
You are unmoved. Not a moment is wasted. No
energy is taken away from focus.
b. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what
God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will, not
the instability of the world.
• You are the MATURE-COMPOSED CONFIDENT AND COMPETENT GOD in us and
through us. Psalm 28:7 – “The Lord is the Strength and my (impenetrable) Shield; my
heart trusts in; relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped”. You have
shown Your strength in me in my weakness and I boast in Your grace.
• You are the MATURE-COMPOSED CONQUERING GOD in us and through us.

You help others with their burdens. Psalm 55:22 – “Cast your burden on the Lord
[releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you”. You gladly bear our burdens and we
will be able to gladly bear the burdens of others
• You are the MATURE-COMPOSED JOYFUL UNMOVED MATURE, COMPOSED
GOD in us and through us. You will joyfully handle matter, like Peter, if necessary to be
moved.
• You are PATIENT AND MATURE in us and through us. You are composed in all of life and
marketplace activity. You have been slow to anger and abounding in love in my life and I will be
able to show the same love and mercy to others (Ps 86:15, Neh 9:17).
Business examples: 1. Work load in this season a little more intense / 2. New businesses and taking over, not
strife / 3. Renter evict / 4. Mature to composed image – as you help us balance budgets – from big redeeming
cities to keeping budgets

8:31-34 – “What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be
against us? You have stood for me and believed in me. You have given me compassion
and confidence in and through others. You are FOR US! You are the God who loves us!
• Through us, You will be the LOVING COMPASSIONATE GOD WHO HELPS
through us. Ps 9:9 – the Lord will be a stronghold… A stronghold in times of trouble.
You are a stronghold and a firm foundation to each of us and through us to others.
• You are the LOVING COMPASSIONATE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE GOD in us and

and through us as Givers of Living Water.

THANKSGIVING (HARTLEY)

Thanksgiving (Hartley)
ƒ
INTRODUCTION - THANKSGIVING PRAYER. WHY THE PRAYER OF
THANKSGIVING AND COMMUNION ARE SO IMPORTANT TO GOD
A. PROCESS: First, we went into His courts of praise and adored Him. Next, we
confessed our sins as we came into His light and proclaimed who God is in us and
through us. Now, we come to His “Table of Showbread”, of deep communion with
God and give Him thanks. The “Table of Showbread” was the place where the priest
gave thanks to the Lord with confidence (Exodus 25:30). It was a great place of the
power of God, where the priest communed with Him in intimate fellowship and deep
friendship.
B. PREMISE: “Thanksgiving Prayer” is the act of giving thanks and grateful
acknowledgement of the benefits and favor of God in our lives. We are always to
give thanks at the table of the Lord (Malachi 1). Our gratitude is an attitude. With
gratitude, we will avoid “danger zones” with our attitudes and be able to see the Face
of God. Throughout scripture, we see that it is good to give thanks (1 Chronicles
16:7). We come before His presence with thanksgiving and His courts with praise
(Psalm 26:7, Psalm 95:2).
Thanksgiving releases communion with Him (Matt 15:36 (the Leper gave thanks,
Romans 1:8 (Paul gave thanks to God for the Roman Christians), I Cor. 1:4 (gave
thanks for Corinthians), 1 Thes. 5:18 (In everything give thanks), Eph. 5:20 (thanks
always for all things), II Thessalonians 1:3. (Thanks for Thessalonians, growth), II
Chronicles 20 (No weapon formed can’t defeat praise / thanksgiving). Our greatest
sin is ungratefulness (Palm 111). There is an attack on Thanksgiving prayer. Cities
are under attack thru Natural Disasters. They will either “Rage or Repent” based on
thankfulness (Romans 1:20).
C. PROCLAIM: Now we proclaim what God says to do at His Table of Showbread.
The Bible says to “Give Thanks” for God – (Psalm 95:2 – come before Him with
thanksgiving / 1 Chronicles 16:7 – assigned to give thanks to the Lord / Psalm 100:4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise Give thanks to Him,
bless His name) - Thanking Him for personal and corporate revelation of Him, etc.
ƒ
WE ARE THANKFUL FOR GOD, HIS PROMISES, PEOPLE, COMUNION:
D. First, we are thankful for “GOD” in all of life and in the Marketplace.

Supplication (Hartley)
ƒ
PERSONAL SUPPLICATION (EXODUS ALTAR OF INCENSE)
A. PROCESS: First, we went into His courts of praise and adored Him. Next, we
confessed our sins as we came into His light and proclaimed who God is in us and
through us. Then, we came to His “Table of Showbread”, of deep communion with
God and to give Him thanks with confidence (Exodus 25:30). Now, we come to the
Altar of Incense to lift up our supplications before a just God.
B. PREMISE: We have not because we ask not. God loves our asking (Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall /
Luke 18:1-5 – pray, ask and not faint / Daniel 9:17-19 – since he began to supplicate, God
heard / Genesis – God heard Moses’ prayers). Our supplication has the propensity to
profoundly effect the outcomes of different situations (ex. Amyann – just pray about
it! Watching her on our home videos – her change. If grandma could talk!)
Supplication is a personal request, asking of a special favor in a needed situation or
for a special necessity, a cry for mercy or to entreat or a petition. It is a personal need
or for a group, when intercession is for others, for promises or for long-term revival
in an area, such as marketplace. Some characteristics of Supplication prayer are that
it is: personal, specific, according to God’s word and with His timing.
C. PROCLAIM: GOD AND MY RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. His presence and
His promises (His secrets / Altar of Incense / Amos 1 / Zech 8:20 / Isaiah 62).
Start – Adore the Lord (Psalm 45 / 48) / Profession.
1. Intimacy: I Pray for three things with my relationship with God Personally:
•
“Constant Communion” in all of life (God’s heart & secrets). Seek Him in
the marketplace.
o
SOS 1:3, 16 – Draw me after You and let us run together! Consistent hunger and
draw others in marketplace.
o
SOS 4:12 – Unlock the garden of creative love in marketplace. Give hearts back
with all of the compartments open and alive! This speaks of different seasons.

How blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
Who greatly delights in His commandments.
His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He will maintain his cause in judgment.
For he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be remembered forever.
He will not fear evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
His heart is upheld, he will not fear,
Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries.
He has given freely to the poor,
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted in honor.
The wicked will see it and be vexed,
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked will perish.
