changes between songs or singing the current favorites. For me, it’s about Him, the Lord; if He doesn’t show up for worship, I am really not interested.
I know there were seeds planted in me when I was too little to read and would need my dad to turn the hymnal right way up as I was singing in church. The seeds to love Jesus. The seeds of recognizing the anointing in Kathryn Kuhlman meetings, when Dad would turn to me, tears in his own eyes, and say, “Honey, can you feel that? It’s the Holy Spirit’s presence.” The seeds of encouragement when I would lead worship. The phone calls and texts from Carol (my number-two fan) saying she loved the live CD I produced from a big conference here in England, but that the only problem was, not enough of me! The

words of, “
Wow
honey, that was awesome!” when I sat down from leading worship.
I know that I have been given some treasure regarding worship—to look for Him until His Presence comes. Where He is, miracles happen. That’s where the bar is set for me.
My Ministry?
I went with my dad on an outreach trip to Mexico a number of years ago. He had been invited to speak. At the end of that trip, the regional superintendent of that group of churches came to him and asked if he (my dad) would please come back next year and address their network of churches that met together annually. My dad said to him, “I’m sorry, but I am not available that week to come as I already have commitments,” and turning to me, said to him, “Why don’t you invite my daughter, Lori, to come and preach?” Such an awkward moment! What could the man say? What could I say?
As it turned out, he did follow through and ask me to come and address this conference of their network of churches throughout Mexico. I took a team with me and we had a wonderful time. God did amazing things! I fell in love with those people. I was invited back the following year, and during that trip my heart would change forever! I had always made a vow that I would not ever be in full-time ministry. I was happy to do the occasional trip, happy to minister at home on various teams, but not permanent or, as I have said, full time.
During one of the nights of that conference, there was a call for ministers who wanted more. I knew I wanted to go up for this. I will never, ever forget what happened to me. I was on the floor in a full vision (before I had heard anyone speak of one really, and didn’t know what was happening). This is what happened: I was part of a long line of people, longer than I could see the ends of. We were pulling in nets—nets full of souls. We were all working so hard. I was aware that physically I was pulling and my arms were tired. Aware of my physical tiredness, I asked the Lord, “Can I stop yet?”
He said to me, “Not yet, there is more.”
We would pull in more nets full of souls,
so
full. Again I asked the Lord, “Can I stop yet?”
He said again, “Not yet, there is more.” I knew I was part of the harvest, and like the book of Joel says, those of us pulling nets were all together.
When we had finished, the Lord took me
up
. As I had learned and was natural for me, I asked Him, “Where are we going Lord?”
He said to me, “I am taking you to your reward!” I had always longed for that—I still do long for the day when I will see Him.
He took me into a room, and I just knew somehow that this was the throne room itself. I had expectations as I went in that I would see all of the gemstones and gold I had pictured as a little girl. I thought there would be a lavishly set table prepared for the great wedding feast with every imaginable luxury. I was overwhelmed by what I saw! The room was totally empty except for one thing—Him! He was the only thing in the room. He said to me, “I am your reward.” I was overwhelmed by absolute love and the revelation that He is enough!
We went from there for some wonderful lingering walks—no time restraints, no one else
