Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, Luke 1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
Angels are able to locate whosoever is GOD’s choice;
they never make mistakes and can never fail to secure the LORD’s preferred vessels. Part of this has to be explained by the fact that angelic knowledge does indeed exceed human geography. From the vantage of heaven from whence they observe all that is on earth, they should find it quite possible to locate and approach those that GOD seeks to work with.
Essentially, you can be sure that as a partner of the MOST HIGH, as a minster of righteousness
71
programmed to work with GOD, angels will always locate you as they work with GOD and you to ensure the will of the MOST HIGH.
What is particularly encouraging about this is that once GOD has set HIS eyes on you, you can never be lost from HIS view. The fact that angels can easily locate you is testimony to the fact that you are under GOD’s constant watch. HE knows your address and sends angels to you without fail.
This is the point that was clearly made to Jacob when was in the middle of nowhere. Running from his brother’s wrath, uncertain of his future, in the middle of unfamiliar territory yet GOD sent angels to him:
Genesis 28:10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Genesis 28:11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he
72
took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Genesis 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Indeed, in that same desolate and unfamiliar place, GOD visited him and blessed him:
Genesis 28:13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
Genesis 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 28:15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
It doesn’t matter where you are, GOD can still locate you. You may bankrupt, financially in the middle of nowhere and yet in that same plight GOD is still able
73
to locate you, send HIS angels to minister over you, and bless you. Like Jacob, you may be running from enemies that seek to destroy you, you may be running from a marriage, or a nation, or whatever threat, but GOD is still able to locate you, bless you and secure your destiny.
Mary was located in the little known town of Nazareth; infact, the town was hardly ever considered to have anything good come out of it but GOD located her. Little is known about her family, or occupation; to the best of our knowledge, she was a peasantry youth with hardly any distinguished characteristic except that she was devout. And GOD took note of that and visited her.
74
Are you devout? Have you believed GOD, trusted HIM against all odds? Have you set your eyes on those things above and sold out your heart to GOD? Then know that GOD knows exactly where you are. HIS eyes are always in search for the upright who HE locates and ministers to with HIS angels. Mary’s testimony demonstrates this and offers the words and knowledge necessary for you to be strengthened in your faith confident that regardless the circumstances you find yourself, GOD knows exactly where you are.
From that place unknown to most men, from that unfamiliar territory you find yourself in, yet GOD has located your faith, HE has observed your comings and goings. Like Mary, you are about to make well known places that were hardly known;
you are about to give relevant knowledge about
75
places that no one cares to bother with. There in that desert, in that wilderness, GOD is sending HIS holy angels to prove that HE is with you and is your everpresent help in time of need.
Beloved, once you have faith, once you believe, then know that you are not lost from GOD or heaven. Infact, you are right at the place where HE is comfortable to descend and declare glorious blessings upon you. In that inconvenient location you can birth the impossible; from that unknown location a glorious destination can yet be born. Yes, right there, you shall bring forth the very glory GOD deposited in you.
