VISIT:- Is to go to see and spend time with someone. Or an act of going to see a person or place as a guest or tourist.
INTRODUCTION:- MATTHEW 28.20
The LORD’s visits are never announced but He visits at His own will. Out of HIS visits bring great transformation to the very person or people as host to HIM
HE is the unannounced Visitor but He settles PEACE to worries, troubles, tribulations, persecutions, ailments, rejections, oppressions, detentions like Paul and Silas etc. Are you suffering any of these for the sake of CHRIST? – Matthew 5:11-12.
Verse 11:- Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you , and shall say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake? Then there is a blessing to that.
Verse 12:- Rejoice and be exceedingly glad , for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
At any of the LORD visits there are positive change(s) to the very people He had gone to or meet.
JESUS AT THE TEMPLE

All He meant was they were merchandising at the wrong place and time.
