CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE It started on a Tuesday afternoon. Three of our four children were in school and my wife took the baby with her so I could spend the entire day with the Lord. My heart was filled to overflowing with the goodness of God. I spent the entire day with Him and enjoyed His presence. My life and ministry seemed so fulfilled that day —I could not wait for tomorrow. The next day was Wednesday and I was asked to minister at church that night. I was excited to get into prayer and knew it would not take long to come into His presence. After all, yesterday had been so wonderful. I think my problems started there. I had a preconceived idea of what God was going to do that day. So I went into my closet for my time of worship and prayer. My intentions were pure. I wanted to seek the face of God. I assumed my normal position in prayer and I waited on God. I waited and waited and waited and waited. I knew He could not be stuck in traffic. What happened? Within minutes the pressure was on. I began to feel stressed out. I didn't understand where He could be. Had I done something during the night that may have displeased Him? There's a certain song I love to sing because every time I sing it I feel His presence. I began to sing that song—and felt nothing. It was like my heart was millions of miles away from Him. While I was praying I checked my kneeling position to be sure that it was the same as the 72
Worship in Spirit and Truth day before. It may seem silly but I couldn't understand why I felt so empty. All I could do was keep asking the Lord, "Please show me where I missed it." A little more time passed and I still could not feel His presence. I understand you are not supposed to go by feelings, but I knew something was wrong. I started to do my spiritual gymnastics, all the little things you learn from watching other people pray. I actually felt under pressure to come into His presence. Have you ever felt stress in your back between your shoulder blades? That was the kind of pressure I was feeling. I wanted to tell God what He needed to do. I could not bear the pressure any longer. "Lord," I said, "is this what I am suppose to feel like after twelve years in full-time ministry?" "This is not what it's supposed to be like, God. I have served you faithfully. I have studied Your Word. I have ministered to Your people. Is this the result of all of that? I just want to know You, God. With all my heart I want to know You. Please correct me! Do whatever You must. Just don't leave me like this." Then the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "Relax! You are the one who has brought all this pressure on yourself. Do you want to know Me as you have asked? Then study My Word and you will know Me." My tears flowed, and my heart melted within. Then He spoke to me again. "You are trying 73
