Visitation I

Time for Visitation

Hebrews chapter 5 verses 8 through 12

“Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; CALLED of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not strong meat.”

First principles of the oracles of God

The first principles of the oracles of God is a concept that you can trace the origination of everything back to the beginning. In the sense of Melchisedec who was a high priest and king who meet Abraham after God had given him victory over the kings. The ministry of Melchisedec can be traced back to Adam. We are able to trace the beginnings of all things back to the first three chapters of the book of Genesis.

In Genesis chapter three verse 8, we have an event called the visitation that takes place in verse 8. Much thought is not given to this event however it was a pre-arranged meeting at specific place. We know the voice of the LORD God came walking in the cool of the day. Adam wasn’t at the arranged meeting place. They were hiding out among the trees in the garden.

My thoughts are, they were among the trees of the garden trying to find a cure for the wounds that broke out in their bodies after having ate the fruit. They saw that they were naked and sewed fig leaves together to make aprons. For many years, I thought that the purpose of the fig leaves was something they put together to cover their nakedness. But further study suggest that they were making bandages to heal the wounds that came about as a result of eating the forbidden fruit. They were trying to medicate themselves. Adam knew something about the healing properties of the leaves.

Ezekiel chapter 47 verses 12 and Revelation chapter 22 verse 2 says that there is supernatural medicine in the leaves that will heal the wounds of the nations. The word “aprons” is found twice in the Bible, once in Genesis chapter three verse 7 and Acts chapter 19 verses 11 through 12. The book of Acts chapter 19 verse 12 says that aprons were taken from the body of apostle Paul and laid upon the sick and they were healed and evil spirits came out of them. If Adam had been in the right place at the appointed time fulfilling his assignment, none of the things which transpired after the original sin would have never occurred.

What is so unique about visitation?

God has rebooted the system. There has been a restoration of the Garden of Eden. There are appointed times of God visiting with man. One of the obvious example of the day of visitation is in Luke chapter 19 verses 41 through 44. The thought that stands out here is when Jesus said,

“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.”

If you go back to Genesis chapter 1 verses 1 through 31, you will find that everything God created was described as good or very good. Everything produced on the scale of a hundred fold. Everything was self-sustaining. For example, take the human body, it is self-sustaining in terms of heart beat, breathing on its own, it heals itself… Adam was given everything. God created Adam to enjoy the bounty of the work of his hands. God gave Adam dominion over all the works of his hands, See Genesis chapter 1 verse 28. God gave him all seed and trees which are supernatural in themselves.

God is still into visitation,

He visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for his name, see Acts chapter 15 verse 14. Grace and peace.

The day spring on high hath visited us, See Luke Chapter 1 verse 78

Grace and Peace!
