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)

In Revival (I Peter 2:12)

The world sees the good the church does and glorifies God, even though they were bad mouthing us just before the visitation of God.

4. Know the power of the Holy Spirit.
5. Not neglect our fellowship.
6. Know the Word of God.

2. A sense of hopelessness in the world’s system.
3. A passion for revival in the church.
4. A shaking of the world’s system.
5. A new hunger for God’s Word.
6. A spirit of repentance in the church.

Time is Kairos which is a season or opportune time. A period of time in which crucial events take place, marked by distinct conditions.

This Age (time)

The times of the Gentiles is the church age.

The Move of God - Revival Revelations

What We Need

In every move of God the Holy Spirit reveals truths to the church that characterize the type of movement it is known for.

1) Example of Azusa Street in 1906 was known for speaking in tongues and spiritual gifts.

2) Example of Jesus Movement was known for young people who rebelled against the establishment following Jesus and reaching other young people for Christ.

Question?

What will God reveal to the church in the present move of God?

What God Has Said to some is that this will be a movement of great miracles, great harvest, great teaching, great growth of churches and great influence by believers in the world.

God Says...

Everyone will be touched by God, visions, dreams and prophecy will be given to those touched by God.

Let’s Look At

Our inheritance again!

Ephesians 1:18 “I pray the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened...”

Paul Stressed:

• Revelation is given to generate hope in the people of God.
• The knowledge of our inheritance gives us assurance.
• The knowledge of our inheritance is rich.
• The knowledge of our inheritance is glorious.

What Is Our Inheritance?

• Every spiritual blessing in Christ.
• Salvation (in Christ).
• Predestination.
• Redemption.
• Forgiveness of sins.
• Wisdom.

Our Inheritance Is:

• Understanding.
• Knowing the mystery of His will.

Israel

• Will never perish, spoil or fade. (I Peter 1:4)
• It becomes more glorious as time passes. (II Cor. 3:18)

I Believe

The Glory of God will be seen again in the church before the rapture of the church as in the time of the dedication of the temple during the time of King Solomon.

(II Chronicles 7:1- 5)

America

Will see another great revival in the future.
