Changed in His Presence - Sam Hinn

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