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 />
