Jesus Went About Doing Good
In the book of the gospels Jesus travelled by boat to many regions and towns to perform miracles and to teach the word of God. Whenever Jesus entered a particular region, all who came in contact with him were healed, delivered or set free.
When Jesus travelled to Tyre and Sidon, he tried to enter a house privately so that no one would know that he was present. It was difficult for Jesus to conceal his presence because somehow people knew where he was. For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet. Due to the woman’s diligence her daughter was healed on the same day. (Matthew 15:21-28)
When Jesus attended the wedding with his mother in Cana in Galilee he performed his first miracle and turned water into wine. (John 2:1-11) Jesus travelled to the country of the Gadarenes to heal a man possessed with legions. (Matthew 8:28-33) Earlier in Matthew 8 the crowds followed him everywhere he went and brought to him those who were sick or demon possessed so he could heal them.
People understood that once Jesus was in a region that all they needed to do was get close to him and he would meet their need. When you see God blessing your neighbour instead of becoming envious become joyful because Jesus is in your region to bless. And when he is in your region that means you are next in line for a blessing. Don’t watch your neighbour and harbour resentment. Become excited about what God has done, is doing and about to do. If you would only believe then he can do the same for you. Each person’s miracle depends on their faith in God’s ability.
Come to Jesus expecting to receive and watch his manifold presence work through your faith.

Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm.
I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing.
I am a Trainer, I sing and have a passion for worship, the spoken word and the free flow of the prophetic anointing. I am married to my best friend Andrew Christopher Young who is an advanced Musician and whose music you can find on YouTube and Facebook.
