CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE<br />
to worship with your outward man when I desire<br />
worship <strong>in</strong> the spirit. You can't substitute your<br />
outward man for your <strong>in</strong>ner man. Everyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />
you have done to this po<strong>in</strong>t has been done <strong>in</strong> the<br />
flesh. Did I not speak to you and tell you that<br />
worship must come from your spirit?"<br />
I realized like never before that my flesh does<br />
not please Him. I was try<strong>in</strong>g to please Him by<br />

presence will come while I am driv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the car.<br />
Sometimes while I walk down the street or<br />
maybe while I'm <strong>in</strong> the mall with my wife and<br />
children. Worship is not reserved for just sacred<br />
places but for one place—the heart.<br />
If you, like myself, have worshipped <strong>in</strong> the<br />
flesh, I pray the Holy Spirit will show you, no<br />
