Tears of Visitation



October 25,2025

Scripture Texts: Luke 19:41–44; John 11:33–35; Revelation 3:20

Message:

There are two moments recorded in Scripture where our Lord Jesus Christ wept deeply — at the tomb of Lazarus (John 11:35) and when He approached Jerusalem (Luke 19:41–44). These two instances reveal a profound truth about the heart of God: both tears were connected to spiritual blindness and missed opportunities for life.

At Lazarus’ tomb, Jesus wept because of death — not only the physical death of His friend, but the spiritual death that had gripped humanity. Death was never His Father’s original intention for man. His tears carried compassion, yet they also reflected the pain of man’s separation from divine life.

Likewise, as He entered Jerusalem, Jesus beheld the city and wept over it, saying:

“If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.”
— Luke 19:42 (KJV)


Jerusalem did not recognize the time of her visitation. The very One they had long prayed for stood in their midst, but they were blinded in heart and mind. The King of Glory came, yet they could not discern Him. Their unbelief and hardened hearts caused them to miss the divine moment of mercy, and the Savior wept.

Friend, one of the greatest tragedies in life is to have your Savior visit you — through His Word, His Spirit, or through divine encounters — and yet fail to recognize Him. The Lord visits men in various seasons: in conviction, in revelation, in divine opportunities. When these moments are ignored, destinies may remain buried like Lazarus in the tomb.

But today, the Lord is visiting you again. This is your moment of grace — your day of visitation. Do not harden your heart. Open the door of your soul and let Him in.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.”
— Revelation 3:20 (KJV)


Say this prayer sincerely:

“Lord Jesus, I recognize that today is my day of visitation. Come into my heart, be my Lord and my Savior. I surrender my life to You. Amen.”


We’d love to hear from you.

No Room for Crawling: The Three Dimensions of Divine Progress

November 2,2025 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) In the agenda of the Lord for His people, there is no room for crawling. Every believer is designed to be in motion — to advance, grow, and ascend in the divine order of grace. The least a believer can do is walk, for the life of the Spirit has no provision for stagnation. Those who wait upon the Lord are not only renewed but are divinely empowered to operate in three progressive realms of movement — mounting up, running, and walking. Each dimension carries a distinct purpose yet leads to one destination: fruitful and victorious living in Christ. 1. Mounting Up with Wings as Eagles — The Realm of Dominion Waiting on the Lord brings you to a realm of spiritual elevation. You rise above earthly limitations and ascend into your heavenly position in Christ Jesus, seated abov...

The Breath of Life: Unleashing the Power of Meaningful Prayer

The Breath of Life: Unleashing the Power of Meaningful Prayer March 23,2025 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Luke 18:1-8, Matthew 6:5-15, Philippians 4:6-7 Prayer is one of the most essential modes of conversation between God and humanity, allowing us to express our hearts before our Maker. Prayer not only helps us navigate life's challenges but also empowers us to overcome spiritual battles. Unfortunately, many children of God struggle to engage in meaningful and effective prayer, leading to stagnancy in their spiritual journeys. While studying the Word, praising God, and giving tithes and offerings are all vital aspects of our spiritual lives, they cannot replace the importance of prayer. The Bible encourages us to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17), emphasizing the need for continuous communication with God. Prayer should become as natural as breathing, for without it, we may have ideas and plans, but lack the power to implement them. Jesus taught us to prioritize pray...

The Roll Call of Destiny: Ensuring Your Name is Written

The Roll Call of Destiny: Ensuring Your Name is Written March 19,2025 Matthew 10:1-42, Mark 3:13-19, Luke 6:12-16, 9:1-6 In Matthew 10:1-42, Jesus commissions His twelve disciples, empowering them to cast out unclean spirits, heal sicknesses, and diseases. The Bible emphasizes that Jesus "called His twelve disciples to Himself" and gave them authority over darkness (Matthew 10:1). The naming of the disciples in verse 2 is not a coincidence; it signifies a divine roll call, ensuring that each one is mature, ready, and accountable for the assignment. Perhaps you have struggled to exercise your authority in Christ because you're unsure if your name is on the list. You may feel timid, afraid, or silent, wondering if you are truly called and empowered for the task. However, those who are sent out by Jesus have their names written, and the darkness recognizes and trembles at their authority. The story of the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19:11-16 illustrates the impor...
