The Royal Family - Welcome A Visitation (notes)

The Royal Family - Welcome A Visitation

Luke 19:35-44

35 So they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for Him to ride on. 36 As He rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of Him. 37 When He reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of His followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen. 38 “Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven, and glory in highest Heaven!” 39 But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!” 40 He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!” 41 But as He came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, He began to weep. 42 How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. 43 Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. 44 They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not accept your opportunity for salvation.

(NLT)

Luke 19:44

44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

KJV

Visitations Come in a series of breakthroughs in a geographical area. Sometimes it seems as if a move of God just breaks out but that is usually not the case.

We Have Seen Breakthroughs recently so how do we prepare for the next breakthrough?

1. Prepare our hearts.
2. Tune our hearts to the Holy Spirit.
3. Keep our minds open to whatever God wants to do.
4. Stay in the Word.

Every Visitation

• Is different than the last one. The last one will include elements of all the past revivals.
• The main trait of the last visitation before the end of the age will be the greatest harvest.
• God restores a truth that the church has lost.

The Church Doesn’t always understand a visitation of God. Some in the church completely missed past revivals just like the Jews who missed the greatest visitation. What hurts the heart of Jesus is when leaders miss the move of God.

Even When Jesus Is riding into Jerusalem in the midst of the praises, the complaints of the Pharisees He weeps over the city because they missed the greatest visitation in history.

How We Welcome A Divine Visitation:

1. Remain flexible.
2. Stay hungry for God.
3. Overlook shortcomings.
