Changed in His Presence - Sam Hinn

CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE
touches my heart in a special way.
And this is life eternal, that they might
know thee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom thou hast sent (John 17:3, KJV).
Knowing Him is more than a mansion in
glory, more than wearing a crown. Knowing Him
is eternal life. I am not going to have to wait to
die to experience heaven. I can begin to
experience heaven right here on earth as I come
to know Him. When Jesus said, "Father, that
they might know You," He is saying that they
might perceive, recognize, become acquainted
with and understand You.
King David gave his son Solomon a charge
that should be kept by every man and woman.
Let's look at it in two parts.
As for you, my son Solomon, know the God
of your father, and serve Him with a loyal
heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord
searches all hearts and understands all the
intent of the thoughts (1 Chr. 28:9).
David urged his son to know his God. Then
he told him to serve. This makes sense, because
if we don't know God, how can we serve Him?
Then David continued:
If you seek Him, He will be found by you;
but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off
forever (1 Chr. 28:9).
Worship is the way I seek God. David
promises that if I seek God, He will allow me to
come to know Him and learn of His ways.
Worship requires an intimate love
