The Move Of God - Visitation (notes)

The Move Of God - Visitation

Visitation In Hebrew

Means to guard a flock, to preserve or protect like the Cherubim who guarded the Garden of Eden and the throne of God.

The Question Is

• Will I recognize it when I experience a visitation from God as an individual and as a pastor or leader of an expression of the Body of Christ.
• Will I be able to discern when a time of God’s presence comes?

Isaiah 60

• Talks about a time of great glory coming for the people of God.
• During a time of depression (darkness will cover the earth and dense darkness all people groups.
• During this season of darkness, the brightness of the Lord will rest on the people of God.
• Nations will come to our light and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Kairos

• When time and destiny meet.
• In every revival time and destiny come together and change everything.
• During a visitation of God time and destiny come together.

The Word of God

• Talks about two simultaneous events happening in the last days.
• Times of trouble.
• Times of world wide revival.

In The New Testament

• Visitation means to look after or coming. Jesus said you did not know the time of your visitation.
• Jesus came to His own (the Jews) and they did not know who He was.

(John 1:10-13)
