CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE<br />

someth<strong>in</strong>g I knew I needed. I was hungry for a<br />

move of God.<br />

I got <strong>in</strong>to my office for my usual preparation<br />

and began to pray I was tell<strong>in</strong>g the Lord how<br />

much I loved Him and needed Him. Time seemed<br />

to fly by and before I knew it, it was time to go<br />

downstairs for the meet<strong>in</strong>g. As I walked through<br />

the sanctuary of the church I began to weep and<br />

felt the presence of God touch<strong>in</strong>g me <strong>in</strong> a very<br />

unusual way. I got to the door of the meet<strong>in</strong>g<br />

room, and as I put my hand on the handle, the<br />

Spirit of God spoke to me more clearly than I<br />

have ever heard. He said to me, "I want you to<br />

worship Me this morn<strong>in</strong>g."<br />

I said, "Lord, I really don't know how to<br />

worship You." I walked <strong>in</strong>to the room where<br />

about one hundred people were gathered for<br />

prayer and told them what the Lord had spoken<br />

to my heart.<br />

Even as I talked to the people I prayed<br />

silently, "But, Lord, how can I worship <strong>in</strong> front of<br />

these people? I'm a lousy s<strong>in</strong>ger!" S<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g was<br />

the only way I knew to worship at that time. To<br />

me worship was just s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g all the Christian<br />

songs you knew. I was not a worship leader or<br />

musician. In fact, I could barely carry a tune. Yet<br />

<strong>in</strong> my hunger and desperation for God I knew I<br />

couldn't worry about my ability. I just had to<br />

worship Him.<br />

I told the people who had gathered for prayer<br />

that morn<strong>in</strong>g that we were go<strong>in</strong>g to worship God<br />

until He came. I was hop<strong>in</strong>g He would come<br />

quickly so the people would not have to suffer<br />

through my s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g too long.<br />
