<strong>Changed</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>His</strong> <strong>Presence</strong><br />
My fellowship with God helps me become the<br />
husband I need to be, the father my children<br />
need and a better pastor to m<strong>in</strong>ister to God's<br />
people.<br />
One of the th<strong>in</strong>gs I enjoy do<strong>in</strong>g after I<br />
m<strong>in</strong>ister is talk<strong>in</strong>g with people who have come to<br />
the services. I never fail to meet someone who<br />
will try to show their spirituality by the way<br />
they talk. They want to out-do everyone else by<br />
add<strong>in</strong>g a few more "praise the Lord's" or<br />
"hallelujah's." Usually I make my conversation<br />
brief with that k<strong>in</strong>d of person.<br />
The essence of worship is to touch the heart<br />
of God until I reflect the very glory of Jesus. My<br />
spirituality is not measured by how long I pray<br />
or how many times I can say "praise the Lord" <strong>in</strong><br />
a conversation but by the purity of my fellowship<br />
with God.<br />
The whole reason I'm writ<strong>in</strong>g this book is<br />
because I've discovered this fact to be true <strong>in</strong> my<br />
personal life. When I spent time with great men,<br />
read great Christian books or went to great<br />
Christian meet<strong>in</strong>gs, I learned a lot. I felt good. I<br />
could even impress other people around me. I<br />
thought I was mak<strong>in</strong>g a lot of progress. But<br />
when the Lord touched me with <strong>His</strong> presence, all<br />
those other th<strong>in</strong>gs paled <strong>in</strong> comparison. I felt the<br />
impact <strong>in</strong> my spirit <strong>in</strong> a way I never had before.<br />
I want to make you hungry to be <strong>in</strong> God's<br />
presence because I know it will change you.<br />
There are two wonderful stories <strong>in</strong> the New<br />
Testament about people whose broken lives were<br />
restored by be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Jesus' presence. Let's see<br />
what they teach us.<br />
