From Revelation To Visitation To Habitation.


 

God reveals His mind to His saints before He manifests His will. This is called revelation. God is Spirit and communicates to our spirit. We are spirit beings on an earthly journey. God reveals His will through His written word, which points to His living Word, Jesus. In the beginning was the Word and the Word became flesh and dwelt among men. God's revealed word is Jesus. Now Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father and reveals His plans to us on earth. We cooperate with Him by implementing His plans in word and deed. When we speak His word angels go out to perform it. This is how the body of Christ works on earth to implement His will. 

 

God visits His people from time to time. Revivals are signs of His visitation. He visits to guide His people in some circumstances when He appears in person. These visitations are increasing in these last days. We hear of revival fires being lit all over the world. We hear of thousands of Muslims coming to know the Lord in Iran. We hear of millions coming to the Lord in China. He also manifests Himself in signs and wonders and through healings and miracles. The deaf hear, the blind see and captives are delivered.

 

God resides in the third heaven and we are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Our residence in the spirit is in heaven with Jesus. This is our habitation. The more we operate from this place the more we will operate on earth as it is in heaven. In heaven there is no disease or disorder. There is only ease and order. We can experience His joy and peace and health from our position in heaven. What then limits our operating full time from this place? We limit our operation because we are distracted in the flesh. Our minds keep us bound to the earth. We are called to be heavenly minded and to separate ourselves from earthly matters. The more we become like Jesus in the flesh the more we will operate from habitation.
