God appeared to the fathers in Genesis in the name of God Almighty... He revealed Himself to these men, and they walked with Him. To Enock, Noah, Job, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, God was not a mere religious story, but He was a present reality. Hallelujah! That is the God I want to worship! Not some legendary religious story...a once-upon-a-time thing.

Gen 18:1-3  And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day, And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 

​

Gen 18:13 -14 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

That is the God I worship, the God I preach, the God I testify about, who meets with His people today. A God who laterally meets with me and talks with me. The living God is with His people today as He was with others in the past. Yes, God appears to people laterally to deliver them from their enemies.
