The Days of Visitation
Dearly Beloved,
Greetings of Love, Mercy, Grace and Peace from God the Father from whom all blessings flow and from Jesus Christ our Lord by whom we have access to the blessings of God and from the Holy Spirit who makes these blessings manifest in our daily experience.
Based on the established principle in God’s Word that reveals that our God is a God of times and seasons, it behooves me to sound the urgent note that we are in a time of divine visitation which requires that each one give quality time to prayer in order to see the manifestation of divine promises. See 1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Kings 18:41-46; Daniel 9:1-4.
Job 10:12 KJV
Thou hast granted me life and favour,
and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
Acts 3:19 KJV
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
These are times of refreshing. This is a time we will experience a stronger manifestation of God’s Presence and Power especially as we draw closer to the end of time. It is up to each of us to align with the higher purposes of God as we seek to plug into an unbroken flow of God’s Provision, His Power and the manifestation of long awaited promises.
Luke 19:41-44 KJV
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 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.
In the Scriptural text above, Jesus Christ our Lord also teaches us that there are times and seasons. He also showed us that there are specific times when God the Father requires certain responses and reactions in order to enjoy or experience what was scheduled in the divine calendar in His due season. Israel missed the time of divine visitation and suffered devastation. Prayer facilitates the fulfillment of God’s plans and forestalls the plan of the wicked one. Selah. See 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2; Philippians 1:19.
1 Chronicles 12:32 KJV
And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.
This is a time to resort to prayer. In this time of unprecedented crisis and danger in our country in many spheres and other nations of the world, wisdom demands that we approach the Throne of Grace for divine intervention. This is a clarion call to you to take out some time to pray and fast for a mighty visitation in our lives, families, states and nations. He that has an ear let him hear. Selah
