Changed in His Presence - Sam Hinn

CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE
"Lord, who has hurt you?"
Again He replied, "Sam, just minister to Me."
After that moment, I felt myself gently
deposited back on the floor. I lay on the floor and
cried for a couple hours.
I had that vision nine years ago, yet it's as
clear to me today as the day it happened. I have
never had such a remarkable experience since
then.
What Did It Mean?
There may be some who will say, "Who are
you to have that experience?" There have been
many times when I, too, wondered, "Lord, why
did You choose to show that to me?" I have no
specific answer, but the Word of God says:
He who has My commandments and keeps
them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves
Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love
him and manifest Myself to him (John 14:21).
Jesus said if we love Him, He will manifest
Himself to us. Manifest means "to exhibit in
person, appear or declare plainly." I believe the
Lord responded to me because I obeyed Him and
hungered after Him.
For a long time after that experience, I
wondered about the Lord's tears. I think His
pain often comes when we refuse to fellowship
with Him. The vision of Him gently embracing
each child will never be erased from my memory.
It must hurt Him when we miss out on the
blessing of His presence.
