If you have been saved any length of time, then you can identify with Job. What many new Christians fail to realize is that we are in a serious spiritual battle. Repenting and turning your life over to Christ is no guarantee of a life in a bed of roses!

The Christian Life Is NO BED OF ROSES!
As physical birth is the entry into physical life, so the salvation of a soul is the doorway of spiritual life. Rest assured, this new life in Christ is unsurpassed in wonder, but it is also difficult because of the warfare that will be waged! Yes, we are on the winning side, but we need to stand true as good soldiers.
(Job 10:12) “Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.” (KJV)

Andrew Schank - Church Planter to Blair, Nebraska
Recently, I came across a verse of scripture in Job chapter ten. I was awestruck by it and was truly strengthened by it’s ramifications. Job plainly states that it was a visitation of God that preserved him during his calamities.
Think about it… a visitation of God, that is what we need! Now, before you run off and say Brother Schank is a charismatic, let me explain what I am proposing. This visitation I am speaking of, for us, is not a vision of a 90 ft. Jesus or something. If you eat late at night then you will, more than likely, need a Daniel to interpret your dreams. No, I am speaking of just what I said, a visitation of God!
I don’t know about you, but I think I know something about a visitation. When I was saved on February 16, 1992, God, the Holy Ghost, certainly met with me. I did not see Him, but He was there! Have you ever been praying alone and the room you were in get crowded? You were the only one in the room physically, but you sensed you were not alone. This is not some aura, but a visitation of God.
There is no way you can dismiss this as a believer. The Bible states that God hears and answers prayer. The Apostle John spoke of manifestations. Consider:
(John 14:21) “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (KJV)
As a husband, I know that I must spend time with my sweetheart.

JESUS LOVE US!!!
If we are to commune, then we must communicate with each other. God speaks to us through His

God Speaks To Us Through His WORD!
Word, and we to Him through prayer. God, the Holy Ghost, points us to Christ and comforts us day by day. He indwells every child of God and that is certainly grounds for a visitation possibility!
Today, get alone with your Lord and spend quality time with HIS WORD; your Bible. Lay prostrate before Him in your “closet” and pour your heart out. Working up the emotions is not a visitation, but when God shows up… you will know who He is!
Do you need a visitation? Remember, God is more excited about meeting with you than you realize!
