Title: God Comes to the Tabernacle of Abraham
Contents
Bible: Genesis 18:1-10 Title: God who came to Abraham's tent
God the Father's first visit to man's tent began with his visit to Adam and his wife who hid in the trees in the Garden of Eden. And he visited Abraham's tent. In the age of the saint, coming into the world in the incarnation is the heart chamber itself. He came to Peter's mother-in-law's house and healed his fever, Lazarus's family, and Zacchaeus's visitation... He brought the kingdom of God, forgave sins, healed diseases, and restored spiritual and physical problems.
The centurion couldn't afford Jesus' visitation to my house, so just tell me and my servant will be healed.
In the Age of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Peter was sent to Cornelius's house so that they could hear the word of the gospel and receive the Holy Spirit throughout his household. The Holy Spirit led the Apostle Paul to visit Lydia's house, where the whole family was baptized and the Philippian church was established.
1. The Appearance of Jehovah
The Lord appeared in human form with two angels under an oak tree near the house of Abraham. The book of Hebrews says, “Do not forget to entertain guests, for in this way some have unwittingly entertained angels.” (Hebrews 13:2) God must appear to be able to meet and be seen. It is called revelation.
In the Old Testament era, it is the first time that God, who appeared and spoke in a dream, vision, and voice, appeared in a physical body. The reason God appeared in the human body as a garment was that God created man to dwell in man. When an adult appears, children run away, hide, and try to play among themselves. God's true intention is to create people and to live together without burden as if they were a family while calling God as Father. However, when people who have sinned see God, they try to run away, hide, hide, and not talk to God. So, Jesus (the One who saves from the sins of his people) was sent to Emmanuel (God is with us) to remove the obstacles that prevent us from living with God. The true heart and attributes of God are revealed in the name of Jesus. I want to forgive all your sins and be reconciled, so do not run away and do not hide. If you come out and receive forgiveness and be reconciled, I will become an Immanuel who lives with you forever.
Our body is the temple where the Holy Spirit of God dwells. (1 Corinthians 3:10-11) We hope that you will welcome God who visits our home through the chambers.
2. Abraham Receives Jehovah
People treated Jesus poorly when he came to their land. 'When he came to his own land, his people did not receive him, but to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God' (John 1:11, 12). I begged you to rest. Weary of the journey, Jehovah wanted rest and strength with abundant food, and he wanted to serve God in the best possible way.
3. God's Promise
The God of life came to visit and gave Sarah life to bear Isaac, and the God of salvation heard Abraham's prayer and saved Lot of Sodom and Gomorrah. The purpose of God's visit is life and salvation. First, seek God's peace by stepping on the ground. Pray for Satan's bondage. I pray that you will be holy through the blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Word. We declare that the members of this house will become children of God. We pray for restoration and blessings for the family that has become the house of God.
The apostle Peter went to visit Cornelius's house (Acts 10:24). Cornelius gathered his relatives and close friends and waited. An open meeting of several people began in that house. We are all before God to hear all that you have commanded us (verse 33). They heard the word and were filled with the Holy Spirit. After receiving Paul's visitation, the entire Lydia family was saved and received the blessing of becoming a co-worker in world missions with the apostle Paul. I pray that it will become a chamber of restoration that works through the Holy Spirit and the Word.
