Visitation or Habitation


Visitation or Habitation
 Today we have a choice of a Visitation or Habitation

Visitations can be and are good but can often be missed or mistaken for "coincidence." People get visited by God every day through creation and are never changed from it. They are blinded by the veil of sin.

Through Habitation we allow Jesus to go from being the guest to the host, and by allowing Jesus to be the host He is able to change not only us but those around us. By letting the Spirit live in us we allow Jesus to visit those around us!

The habitation of the Spirit in us is so important that Jesus told His disciples to wait and don't move until the Spirit has come on you. 

 (Acts 1:4-8) & Luke 24:49 And behold, I send the promise of My father on you. But you sit in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.

Why is the Spirit so important? Because when the Spirit lives in us it also pours out of us as "living water" life to us and those around us.
John 4:10  Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give Me to drink, you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you living water.

John 7:37-38 And in the last day of the great feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  (38)  He who believes on Me, as the Scripture has said, "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."

Revelation 21:6 And He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who thirsts I will give of the fountain of the Water of Life freely.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him and he with Me.
 Let Jesus into your heart and let Him go from being a guest to the host!
