Focus: Everywhere Jesus

Text: Act.10:38.

"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: WHO WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."

As I read the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles I can't help but notice how the Lord was going from place to place, meeting people, touching and transforming their lives for good.

He met the widow of Nain at the gate of her city.

He met, through Peter and John, a cripple at the Beautiful Gate of the temple.

He met the woman of Samaria at the well of Sychar.

He met some people as He passed through one village or another.

He met some in the temple and at the synagogues.

He met some in Jerusalem, in Galilee, on the Jericho Road, on the mountain tops, in the valleys, outside a city, at a border town, by the pool, within a house, in prisons, within locked doors, in the desert, in certain homes, on a Sycomore tree, at the cemetery, by the sea shore, on the sea and by the lake, in the middle of nowhere, and so on and so forth. Even in the Old Testament, He met Moses at the backside of the desert, Gideon in his hideout, Isaiah in the temple, even Amos as he followed the sheep and tended the cattle.

Again, one thing I notice in all these places is this, that meeting Jesus is meeting your destiny and your miracle. Wherever Jesus meets with you, He reveals the Father's glory. He never leaves you the same way or where He met you. He locates in one place and relocates you to another. He takes one from the end of the tether to the top of the ladder. Miracle is His signature, the very stamp of His compassionate heart. He makes a vivid impression, establishes the authority of the Father, and brings heaven into man's sphere of existence. No one ever remains the same at the point of meeting Christ.

The Lord has sent me to tell you: 'I will meet you where you are, and lift you from there. I will change your story and transform your life. When I heal or save, I do so totally. I am now in your neighborhood, right in your corner, and even in your space. Just let me, and I will take care of you.'

Jesus can meet you anywhere, and wherever He meets you, the supernatural of God happens right there. He goes everywhere and is never limited to a place. He is our 'Everywhere God' - doing good in every place and at all times. Amen.
