Discerning the day of your visitation

One day Abraham was sitting in the heat of the day at the entrance of his tent when he looked up and saw three men standing in the shade under a tree. He hurried to them, fell on the ground (worship) and said:

"If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant." Gen 18:3-5

But how did he know it was the Lord? They were just like men. How did he know it was God? He discerned it. Would you be able to discern the day of your visitation? Paul said that some have entertained angels without knowing, since they appeared in human form. "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it."Hebrews 13:2

The conversation Abe has with the Lord is so interesting. I mean Abraham is actually feeding the Lord human food to eat and having a conversation where God says, I will come back and visit you again and your wife will have a son. It is mind boggling to me how God, on his way to a destroy Sodom and Gomorrah decides to drop by Abe's house. The Lord says vs 14 "Is anything too hard for the LORD ? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son."

There is an appointed time for you, a time for your visitation, but it must be discerned. You have to know the hour of your visitation and not miss it. God himself never misses an appointed time. He does not forget, he is never late, but at the appointed time he shows up and shows out to the glory of his name. You may have been waiting on the Lord for a particular thing. Take heart. It will be done at the appointed time. Favor will be shown to you at the appointed time.

It struck me how God thought it was normal for Sarah to have a baby at ninety. He is like "Why did Sarah laugh when I said she would have a baby next year?" I would have been like "Duh... she is ninety, hallo..." But to God the supernatural is natural!! Say that with me "To God the supernatural is natural" so it doesn't shock him when Kidneys are replaced, or the dead are raised, or cripples walk, or you get married at 50 and have your first child (in perfect health) at 52. Your times are in his hands and when the appointed time comes, God will arise and have favour on you!!!

Discern the time of your visitation! Stay alert in the spirit, do not fall asleep spiritually. Have your spiritual antenna pulled all the way up ready to pick up his frequency and align yourself with him.

I decree in the name of Jesus that you will not miss the day of your visitation, when the impossible becomes possible, the supernatural becomes natural. When divine favor comes your way and God greatly multiplies you. I decree spiritual alertness, and watchfulness over your life. Your time of visitation has come. God bless you!
