Summary: The passage in Luke 19:41-44 shows Jesus crying over Jerusalem and its rejection of him. This rejection was voluntary and due to ignorance. The times of visitation from God are special times where he intervenes in our situations, and they can bring blessing or judgment. Not recognizing God's visitation time can leave doors open for the enemy. The visitation of God happens by the grace and mercy of God but is always preceded by a cry and search. The visitation of God can happen on more than one occasion and can come at any time. The Lord generally works suddenly, as seen in Esther 9. We must align ourselves with God and enter through the door of blessings that he is opening for us.
The visitation of God can come suddenly and can come upon crowds or one person. The benefits of receiving the times of visitation include the changing of hunger to provision, the changing of captivity to freedom, the changing of shadow and death to miracles, and the changing of aridity, slavery, and losses to restoration and recovery of time and lost things. It is worth aligning with God, being obedient, seeking His presence, and longing for more because He will reward us. The woman is the pillar that sustains the home, and it is important to be a wise woman. Times of restitution and restoration are coming, and we will bear witness to the greatness of God. Before Christ comes, we will see His glory.
The speaker believes that before Christ's second coming, we will see his glory, as promised in Isaiah 60. They encourage listeners to seek God's presence and equip themselves with the power of his word to recount wonders and miracles. The speaker also blesses families and declares a time of restoration, provision, and expansion. They believe that 2018 will be a year of blessing, multiplication, and fruitfulness.
(Audio is in Spanish)
The word says in Luke 19, from 41 to 44: “And when he came near the city, seeing it, he cried over it, saying, “Oh, if you also knew at least on this your day what is for your peace, more Now it is hidden from your eyes, for the days will come upon you when your enemies will hedge you around and besiege you and will close you in on all sides and will bring you down to the ground and your children within you, and will not leave one stone upon another in you, for as long as you you knew the time of your visitation.”
Look how beautiful what Jesus… the heart of Jesus was moved and he cried when he saw the city, when he saw the rejection. What I come is to offer you peace, what I come is to offer you well-being and they don't want it. Look, can you imagine? It's like having a wonderful gift, a beautiful inheritance and that I say, I don't want it. It is for my well-being. It is for me peace.
So in this biblical passage it is known as the triumphal entry of Jesus than Jerusalem, but to put it in the proper historical context, I see 2 important facts there; The first is that at this point the ministry of Jesus was already public but it was also reaching its maximum level of rejection. And second, that this event occurred on the first day of the week, precisely on the Passover feast where the liberation of the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt was being celebrated.
He says that the crowd of disciples did burst into exclamations and praise but there was another part that rejected him, that did not receive that time of visitation and then Jesus cries. You can imagine how much he cries when we reject him, when we see our lives in indifference to what he is offering us.
I have been able to see that there are many people going through very difficult situations but who simply do not want to get closer to God and do not want anything with God. And one can talk to them and one can go and we are seeing the need in the world and with the neighbors, where we are positioned, and we need to be these stakes of fire because it will not be in our strength or with our words, it is the the spirit of God who is going to bring a transformation to people who now do not want to know anything about him. There is a need. We are in the midst of a world that is dying and in need of transformation.
So I can also understand that the rejection is due to ignorance but it is voluntary. Look, Jesus says, because you did not recognize the time when he came to save you. We are living those times of visitation where the Lord does not want any to be lost, but rather that all proceed to repentance. And there is a time of visitation that we need to know and for which we must be alert.
When we see that word visitation in the Bible, it is like a special time where God comes and intervenes in your situation, in your problem, in your circumstance, in your health, in your children, in your family. To visit in the Greek the word means to pass, traverse or tour, and visitation means to seek.
And when I see this, I can see that these times of visitation are like Jesus coming and passing by and going through and reaching where we are to get us out of the circumstances in which we find ourselves. So, there are 2 causes in this visitation, one is a blessing, the other is a judgment.
When we read the passage we read, the flow of blessing God pours out his grace on those who receive salvation and walk in obedience. So, if God is visiting us now, if he is bringing those visiting times where he wants to put that fire within us, we have to align ourselves, it is that we cannot live double lives, it is that I cannot say that I love God but I continue Living my life the way I want.
I always say something to my children, even though they are adults, I know that as a mother I have to convict them of their sin. I have always told them that things with God are all or nothing, but it doesn't work halfway. So these are times to align with God because we all long for that blessing, we all want the promises.
God has spoken many wonderful things through the prophets of the year 2018, which is a year of new beginnings, which is a year of closing cycles but beginning a new cycle of blessing, which is a year of reward, of harvest, of fruitful , to expand, to multiply. And that's wonderful.
But with the promise comes a condition and that is that if we are not aligned, perhaps we will not experience blessing but judgment. Because look, the second cause of which this passage speaks is definitely judgment on those who are in rebellion because when they did not receive the time of my visitation, says the word that we read in Luke 19. What Jesus said was, days will come when your enemies they will surround you with a fence and besiege you.
I think none of us wants that. We all want a blessing so these are days when God is calling us. I don't know if you are interested, I am interested. And my prayer every day is to tell him, Lord, take away from me what you don't like, take away from me what is not yours. I want to go towards the path of perfection. I long for more of you, more of your presence.
So, just as the seasons change and give way to a new purpose in our lives, these visits from God also bring new purposes and new life to his children. That is why the Lord has been speaking about the changes that are going to take place in 2018. And they are changes of blessing and we still have a little time between now and December to tell him, Lord, today I align myself with your will. I long for that fire that you want to put in me because I long for 2018 to be the best year of my life.
We recently entered…according to the Jewish calendar, the Hebrew calendar, we entered the year 5778 although we do not move on that calendar, I believe that God continues to move through that calendar. Changes occur, God speaks through this calendar and what I could see is the meaning, it is a threshold that God opened, a door. But that is a door, Jesus said, I am the door. And he is the door of the sheep and what he is waiting for is that now we turn to him with all our hearts and enter through that threshold of blessing.
It is our decision. Either we receive it or we reject it. Either we enter through that threshold, leaving the past behind or we simply stay on the other side seeing how others are going to be blessed and we are still here in the same situation. Because? Because we do not receive the time of your visitation.
All he's saying is come on, if I'm here, I'm the door. I have come to your rescue. So, the word also says in John 10 that the sheep hear his voice. We are going to be led so next year is a fruitful year where we are going to see God move in new ways in our lives, but there has to be a longing in our hearts. There has to be a longing like going, as Pastor Roberto was saying today, deeper in relationship with him and to new spiritual heights.
We can definitely believe that God is moving in new ways and opening doors for us, so there are some important points to understand about what visitation from God is. Number 1 is that not recognizing God's visitation time implies leaving doors open for the enemy. Instead of me entering through that door of blessing that God is opening for me, I leave doors open for the enemy to enter. And then that was why Jesus was telling them, but now it is hidden from your eyes, he told them, because days will come upon you when your enemies will surround you with a fence and besiege you and on all sides will seize you and tear you and your children to the ground inside you.
When I read this I understand that there are actions that we can take that will bless or curse our generations. The decisions that I as a mother or as a father you make will bless or curse your generations. It is that we have to think about the generations to come and establish a legacy of blessing. I have to think that I have to straighten my life and I have to receive those times of visitation because that will bring blessing to my children and my grandchildren.
We rarely reflect on how much the decisions we make affect those who come after us. We must take into account that there are many people behind following our steps. Where are we going to direct them, towards the door of blessing or towards the door of curse? There is a danger for ignoring the spiritual times that we are living because there are, I think, 2 kinds of spiritual ignorance. One is involuntary, the person does not know the times due to lack of biblical teaching or lack of spiritual formation. And so are many people out there, who need to know the truth. and how will they go if no one preaches to them? But also the voluntary, that is, it is the person who, knowing the word, knowing what God's will is, continues to live his life as he wants.
Hebrews 10 has always rebuked me a lot when it says that those who sin obstinately there is no longer a sacrifice for their sins, but a terrible expectation of judgment, and it says, it is hard to fall into the hands of the living God. Because if I have knowledge of sin, but despite that I continue to live my life as I want, there is definitely no sacrifice anymore says the word.
Number 2, the visitation of God happens by the absolute grace and mercy of God but it is always preceded by the cry and the search. Do you realize why these are search times? These are times of cry, time where God's ear is willing to listen. What are the desires of your heart? What is so far afflicting your heart? You can come before the Lord and bring him to the altar and he will listen.
David said in Psalm 8:4, what is man that you remember him and the son of man that you visit him? Perhaps David's expression was in a sense of, Lord, who am I? If I am a mere mortal, a mere sinner, but glory to God that he comes and visits us in the midst of our condition and our sin.
And in Psalm 80:14 David also made a statement and said, O God of hosts, come back now, look down from heaven and consider and visit this vineyard. I imagine that David's cry when he says, O God of hosts, was perhaps in time of war, or living in situations that he knew that only Jehovah of hosts could get him out of where he was. And his cry was, visit this vineyard. Perhaps the cry of our hearts, Lord, visit this house, visit this family, visit my children, visit my husband, visit my work, where there is a need, there will be a time of visitation.
The Holy Spirit of God will come no longer by force or by any power, says Zechariah, but by the power of his spirit.
Number 3, the visitation of God can happen on more than one occasion and it can come at any time. In Acts 15:14 it tells how God first visited. I can see here that first time that it's not just once, there may be a second, there may be a third. God is a God of opportunities, and every day that dawns is a new opportunity. Maybe yesterday I rejected him, yesterday he turned a deaf ear to his voice but today he is giving me a new opportunity, while today lasts, says Hebrews, right?
Because tomorrow I don't know. Today exists, tomorrow does not exist. And yesterday is over. So while today lasts, I think we have to be understood, right? in the times of how God moves. Psalm 17:3 David also said, you have tried my heart, you have visited me at night, you have put me to the test and found nothing iniquitous, I have resolved that my mouth does not transgress.
I imagine those times of David's visits at night. I don't know if you have experienced it, or if you fall asleep every night saying, Lord, I want a visitation. I believe that we are going to begin to experience revelation even while we sleep, God is going to bring dreams and he is going to bring strategies and he is going to bring solutions, but there must be a longing in the heart to tell him every night, I long for you, Lord, visit me tonight.
So the Lord is not limited by time, he can visit us at any time but in the light of the Bible we notice that the Lord generally works suddenly. There are many suddenly in the Bible, like the one we read today in Esther 9. And in an instant the Lord reversed the laws in favor of his people.
One of the passages that God has been speaking to me is John 5 where he talks about the paralytic from Bethesda, it says that the Lord appeared to him it was a time of visitation, because he had been lying there for 38 years waiting for his healing but he has a time of visitation, Jesus comes, stands in front of him and in an instant, the Bible says, healed him. And he said to him, take up your bed and walk. Those times of visitation bring the suddenness of God.
How long have you been waiting for your promises? How long have you been waiting for an answer? These are visitation times.
Number 4, the visitation of God can come on crowds or on one person. We read there in Luke 19:44 that it came upon an entire city, but it says in First Samuel 2:21, “and the Lord visited Hannah and she conceived and gave birth to 3 sons and 2 daughters and the young Samuel grew up before the Lord. ”
Look what visitation time. Genesis 21:1-2 says, "The Lord visited Sarah as he had said and the Lord did to Sarah as he had spoken and Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time God had told him."
Those times of visitation bring births. And we natural, spiritual. The Lord said that 2018 is a year of births. And I am waiting for all the promises to be born, I am pregnant with promises. That's what Lisa says when she sings, I got pregnant with promises.
We are all pregnant with promises. We are waiting to see fulfillment, because the time is now. it is worth aligning, it is worth being obedient, it is worth seeking his presence and longing for more because he will reward us if what he wants is to bless us. That is why his heart ached when he entered Jerusalem and was rejected. And he said, if you knew what I have come to give you, if you knew what I have for you, you would ask me to come in. As David was saying, go through this vineyard.
Would we long for that time of visitation? Look, what benefits do I have if I receive the times of your visitation? The time of hunger is changed to the time of provision. These are the promises that the Lord has for us in what is to come.
Says Ruth 1:6, “Then she got up with her daughters-in-law – she is talking about Naomi, – and returned from the fields of Moab because she heard in the field of Moab that the Lord had visited his people to give them bread.”
They had experienced a time of famine so they migrated to Moab. But now he hears that there is a time of visitation in Bethlehem and that the Lord is providing them with bread. I do not know if you have experienced those times of scarcity where sometimes there is no bread on the table. But when those times of visitation come, the supernatural of God comes to put the bread and bring the provision because there is no forsaken righteous nor his descendants who beg for bread. That's a promise, it's worth it.
The time of sterility is changed by a time of fertility and multiplication. Genesis 21, “the Lord visited Sarah as he had said and the Lord did to Sarah as he had spoken and Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time he had told him.”
God is not a man to lie, sang Lucy. He keeps his promises in his time and when it is best for us.
The time of captivity is exchanged for a time of freedom. That was what we experienced yesterday, a time of freedom. Zephaniah 2:7 says, "It will be that place for the remnant of the house of Judah, there the houses of Ashkelon will feed, they will sleep at night, because the Lord, their God, will visit them and lift their captivity."
How many of us have felt chained, not exactly natural, emotional, spiritual? We just feel that we are not moving forward and that we are in the same place. Well, these chains are going to be broken in visitation times. And the Lord is going to take us to the places where he wants us, he is going to position us.
The time of shadow and death is changed into a time of miracles. And this is what many of us are waiting for, those times of resurrection. Says Luke 7:13 to 16. “And when the Lord saw her, he took pity on her and said, 'do not cry,' and approaching touched the coffin and those who carried it stopped and said, 'young man, to you I tell you, get up.' Then the one who had died sat up and began to speak and gave him to his mother and everyone was afraid and began to glorify God saying, a great prophet has risen among us and God has visited his people .”
In times of visitation there is resurrection. I do not know what you are waiting for to rise again in your life, there are areas where they have been dry, barren and lifeless and I am praying as Ezekiel prayed. “Blow the spirit of God on these dry bones so that they come back to life.”
When the Holy Spirit blows, he blows life and resurrection on what is dead, what is barren, what is lifeless. There are lifeless marriages, there are women hoping that their husbands might rise again. Is awesome. There is something that God put strong in my heart and that is that God is going to restore the priesthood of men. But it will also restore wisdom in women because many women have not been wise enough for their husbands to long to be here receiving these times of visitation.
Today I saw him here with praise, there were a few men but there were more women. How many yearn? I longed for it for a long time, a transformation in my husband. But God first restored my wisdom and it was with wisdom, with God's strategies, with those times of visitation where he filled me with his spirit, with his fire so that I could go and be that ideal help in bringing about a transformation. But if we can be here in church all the time or saying, I am a truly exemplary woman, but if I am not giving my testimony, my husband will never want anything with God, because they say that husbands change because of their behavior from their wives, not by their words. Let us ask for wisdom but also those times of visitation that will enter our homes to bring life to what is dead.
The attack times of the enemies and their apparent triumph is changed by a visible victory time in our favor. That was what Lucy claimed, wasn't it? Jeremiah 15:15 says, “You know, O Lord, remember me and visit me and avenge me on my enemies.”
I think that when Jeremiah prayed this, maybe he felt forgotten by God, maybe he felt, God doesn't listen to me. And his prayer was, remember me and visit me. His hope was still placed in him, as our hope needs to be in God. We cannot feel forgotten. Many have felt forgotten or abandoned by God at this time. A lot of people write to me and say, Maggie, God forgot about me. Pray because maybe God listens to you. No, it's that God has had times where he has been withholding promises because he wants us to be aligned. I see a glory that is going to be poured out on us, a glory of God but the glory of God means weight and if we are not ready, if we are not prepared that glory will destroy us. These are times where we also need to prepare.
The time of aridity, slavery and losses is changed by a time of restoration and recovery of time and lost things. This is wonderful because they are things that God is speaking about that are to come. I don't know if you believe it, but I believe God when he gives me a promise and I cling to it and don't let go like Jacob, I say to him, 'Lord, I won't let go until you bless me.' word I grab
That is the way I came out of the processes in which God put us as a family, 12 years in the desert where one sees nothing, but the word sustained us. And we hold on to promises. I had my war room and a small bathroom, I had a mural where I pasted the words and where I even put the photos of the promises that God had given me. The Lord is going to restore my family, the Lord is going to restore my marriage. There I had the photos of my children, the photo of my husband, the photos of our house that was already falling down, we lost everything. God took away our comfort and he lost the washing machine, the refrigerator, the stove, the blender, everything, he took everything. Can you imagine that the Lord does not leave you like Job, only with the clothes you have on. That is terrible to experience. But what I was able to experience is the power of God that simply came to shake us to remove from us what was useless, because he had a purpose for us as a family. And I can assure you that those restoration and recovery times do not come as they left, they come 10 times better than how they left.
That is the almighty God that my family and I came to know. Everything that has happened in our lives because of… there were times of trial but all he wanted was to please receive my visitation. I have a purpose. We all align with God. That is why I ask women to be wise women because the woman is the pillar that sustains the home, the woman is really the weapon that God uses to bring salvation to the homes. We have to be wise and not foolish, because it says that the wise woman builds her house, the fool destroys it.
It was in those times when perhaps my ear became more sensitive to listening to God. and I would gather them and tell them, this is what God says and that is how we move. And everyone yearned because we all wanted out of the situation we were in. That's how God got us out.
God can do many wonderful things in the midst of the losses we have experienced. I know that times of restitution are coming, that times of restoration are coming, that times are coming where we are going to bear witness to the greatness of God.
A few days ago I shared the testimony with many women that the enemy's attacks always come, he will always want to intimidate, but we have to be firm and convinced that the power of God is greater than any attack that the enemy wants to bring.
And our truck was parked in front of our house, and a truck loaded with iron came and crashed into the truck and destroyed it and it was a total loss. At 4 in the morning I was terribly frightened by the impact, but if the car had not been there it would have entered our house, it would have been a greater disaster, but the Lord kept us and we very peacefully told him, Lord, this car was yours so you take care of it.
Do you know what happened? When my husband made the arrangements for the insurance, well, they were going to give him just $2000 for the car and then he told me, well, it's something, right? In that period, God puts it in my heart that this money is not going to be for another car and telling him it was a bit difficult because men already know what they are like, right? They are suppliers, they are always looking for the material, so that nothing is missing. I tell him, look, that money God put in my heart that we are going to sow for the publication of the new book. We needed to invest in the printing press and then he told me, well, if God told you, that's fine. When you say there is no where, right?
But two days later a family calls us and says, I need you to come to my house and when we arrive he says, Maggie, this is the deed to my truck and the key and the Lord says that this car is for you and that it is the reward for your obedience and your fidelity.
It's a Ford truck that's valued at $110,000, it's a truck. By my means, I could not have had it, but when God gives you something, he gives you the best. But first test your heart. He is going to deal first with the internal before restoring the external. That is why it is worth aligning with God and walking in obedience and faithfulness to God. Let us receive those times of visitation because just as those times of visitation come, the times of blessing will come.
I am convinced that before Christ comes we are going to see his glory. That is the promise of Isaiah 60, “darkness will cover the earth but his glory will shine upon us.”
So what we expect is that loss times are exchanged for payback and payoff times. And I want today to declare that word from Joel 2:23 and 26 says, "You also sons of Zion rejoice and rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the first rain in its season and will bring down on you early and latter rain as at first. The threshing floors will be filled with wheat and the presses will overflow with wine and oil and I will restore to you the years that the caterpillar, the hopper, the revolt and the locust ate, my great army that I sent against you, you will eat until you are satisfied. And you will praise the name of Jehovah your God who did wonders for you and my people will never again be ashamed.”
I believe that this morning our spirit should groan and say, we need your visitation. Come through my vineyard, Lord, visit me. Stand up for a moment. I don't know if you are one of them or if you really want to experience a visitation from God in your life, in your family, in your work, in your ministry, in this nation, in this city, are you willing to pay the price? Are you willing to have a seeking spirit, to have that thirst for God's presence and that hunger for his word?
When the Lord spoke of stakes, it is that he wants to put a stake in the hand of each one, it is the power of his word. There is definitely no other way to win victories if we are not armed for the times, because it is not just a hunger for him, it is not just a thirst for his presence, it is that we need to equip ourselves with all the power of his word to recount these wonders and these miracles.
I told him, Lord, I don't want to recount the miracles that I read about in the Bible, about the miracles that you did with Moses, with Joshua, with all those great ones in the Bible, I want to recount what you have done for me, I want to count the wonders That is why I am telling you this testimony because I know that many need faith to believe again that God is faithful to fulfill his promises and that there have been tests, there have been situations, but God is taking away the weights that we have been carrying and is saying, Just receive my visitation because now you are going to be like a feather. The Holy Spirit will drive you where I want to take you.
So today let us decide as never before to turn to God and seek his face. I think there has to be a desperation, that God is looking for those who are desperate for his presence, who are desperate for his visitation, who are desperate for more of him. God is going to visit those, and with those God is going to do extraordinary things because they did not reject him but instead opened the door wide for him.
I have opened the door of my house and I have told him, Lord, come in, pass through my vineyard, visit my house, Lord, that there is an altar here where your presence dwells. I do not want a home where there is division, contention, lawsuits, anger, I want a place where your presence is, where your Holy Spirit dwells, where the Holy Spirit of God is not saddened, a place of peace, because where the spirit of God there is freedom.
Let's walk free. We are not slaves. So, Father, here we are today. I saw a lot of people here who were very hungry and with great desire, with great need, what if they approached the altar for just 5 minutes and we are going to ask their stomach to wait, 5 minutes to declare a time of freedom. May you leave convinced today that the Holy Spirit is going to fill your house, it is going to fill your family, it is going to fill your home.
We do not want to leave this place without blessing the families, because it is the mission that God gave to my husband and me. I want to invite Benjamin, if he's around, to come. The Lord said, like Abraham and Sarah, they go to many places to declare that the families of the earth will be blessed.
And I know that there are families here that have gone through painful and difficult situations, there are families that are experiencing division, difficult situations, but today is a day of visitation. The fire of God was falling since yesterday in this place and the presence of his spirit is still here. The Lord wants to bring that restoration and that healing so Father, here we are before you and in your presence. Thank you Holy Spirit of God.
Father, today Lord we come declaring that these families, that these men and these women and that their children live under the shelter of the Most High, that each one of them dwells under the shadow of the Almighty, that each one of them says to Jehovah that he is their hope and that it is their castle, that it is their God in whom they trust. Today, Lord, they want to arrive before you to know that you will free them from the hunter's bond, from the destructive plague and that you will cover them with their feathers and under those wings they will be safe.
Father, these families, these men and these women know that you are their shield and shield is their truth, that none of them will fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in the darkness, nor the mortality that in Destroy midday because they are going to see a thousand fall at their side and ten thousand at their right hand, but it will not reach them. Certainly they with their eyes will see the reward against the wicked because they have put the Lord who is their hope and the Most High for their habitation. No harm will befall you.
declare it. No evil will come upon me or plague will touch my dwelling, for his angels will command near me to keep me in all my ways. And he knows that the Lord will carry him in my hands so that his foot does not stumble on a stone. You are going to be on the lion, on the asp, and you will step on it and trample it underfoot, lion cubs and the dragon, says the Lord, because they have placed their love on me, I will also deliver them and put them on high because they have known my name. You will call on me and I will answer you and with him, he says, you will still be in the midst of anguish, he will be there and he will free you so that you can glorify him and he will satisfy each one of you with long life and salvation, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Father, today we receive those times of visitation, Father we ask that now your Holy Spirit blow, breathe the breath of life and resurrection on what has been dead or barren or lifeless. Lord, you sent the prophet when your people said, we are lost and we have no hope, and he said, speak my word, but call the spirit of God to breathe life and resurrection.
And Ezekiel called the spirit of God, it blows from the 4 winds and those bones were filled with flesh and came to life, and they were a mighty army. I declare today, Lord, that what until now they have seen as dry bones now comes back to life by the power of your resurrection and in the name of Jesus we come to bless each family, we come to bless the women who are raising their children alone. your children, we come to declare a time of restoration, of restitution, that the prodigal spouses, the prodigal children return home, that you still bring, Lord, divine provision because we have declared today, Lord, that the time of your visitation brings bread , brings harvest, brings fruitfulness, brings multiplication.
Lord, today in the name of Jesus I bless, Lord, the hands of every man. Father, bless the work of each one, bless the work of their hands and that in the name of Jesus there are no more failed or defeated men because they have not been able to bring bread home. The Lord knows, he has compassion, he knows that they are providers and how much their hearts hurt when there is a lack of work and they cannot carry what is necessary or cannot cover the bills, but those times of visitation as priests of your house go today to declare that visitation in their homes because because of that visitation the provision will come.
Call your children, bless them, call your wife and together declare the presence of God in that home so that the blessing comes. Father, today we prophesy in the name of Jesus that Jehovah shines on every home, that Jehovah, the highest and sublime, the omnipotent, covers them with his shadow. Today we declare, Lord, that the darkness will have to flee, that it will be dispelled from every home and from every family, because the light of Christ is now coming upon your homes, the light of Christ is coming upon your children, the light of Christ is coming upon you to bring them out of the shadows into his admirable light.
Lord, today we declare that each home, each family will rise as the light of the dawn will increase until the day is perfect. Father, we prophesy over every family and call on the name of Jehovah Jireh the Provider.
