Changed in His Presence - Sam Hinn

CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE
I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath
triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider
hath he thrown into the sea. The Lord is my
strength and song, and he is become my
salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare
him an habitation; my father's God, and I will
exalt Him (Ex. 15:1-2, KJV).
Israel's worship was a response to God for
His wonderful act of deliverance. Worship then
is our response to God for His faithfulness in
delivering us.
Worship celebrates the covenant between the
Creator and His creation. God made a covenant
with Israel on the night of the Passover. If they
applied the blood of the sacrificial lamb, they
would be in right relationship with God, and
God's wrath would pass over them.
As New Testament believers, we are in a new
covenant with God based on the same principle.
If we choose to come under the blood of Jesus,
our relationship with God is restored.
God's desire in both the old and new
covenants is the same: to redeem people back to
Himself, to bring them back to their original
purpose—fellowship with Him.
Our Lord created us, saved us, redeemed us
and He even designed our approach to Him.
Worship is our proclamation of being delivered
from our sin, our hurts, our shame. Every time
God ministers to us, whether it's to set us free
from our sin or to heal us, our response is
worship.
Have you ever taken time in the day to think
about how faithful He has been to you? When
