Many things happen when God visits (from soul food)

God does actually visit the world in general and with people in particular.
Luke 1:78 indicates this great truth:Zacharias acknowledged the visit God to his family and the approaching visit of God to the world in the person of his Son Jesus.
David wondered what was so special about mankind that God would so closely watch each of us.
In Psalm 8:4 he asked, “Lord, what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"
Psalm 8:4— There is power in the word “visited.” The word translated visited is from the Greek word episkeptomai – which means to go see about, lookout for and relieve. It indicates that when God visits he intends to check on us, see about us, lookout for us and relieve us.
God visited Adam in the garden to check on him. He visited Israel in the Wilderness to lookout for them. He visited Hezekiah in his sick room to relieve him.
Today, we should not be afraid for God to visit us but should invite him. When he comes he brings blessings and encouragement peace and hope.
That’s why some of the old warriors sang, “Spirit come in the building if you don’t stay long.”
When God visits he honors us with his presence.
We don’t want to miss an opportunity to visit with him that’s why we sing “Pass me not oh Gentle savior, hear my humble cry.
While on others thou are calling, do not pass me by.”
