Shalom,


Mark 5 gives us an account of the woman with the issue of blood. Verses 25-26 tell us her condition:


25 And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 And who had endured much suffering under [the hands of] many physicians and had spent all that she had, and she was no better but instead grew worse.


She was in a desperate condition! Have you ever faced a desperate situation like this? Maybe you are facing one right now! What was the first thing that she did? Verse 27a:


27a She had heard the reports concerning Jesus,


What had she heard? She had heard the WORD about who Jesus was and what He was doing! This WORD built faith in her that He could and would do the same for her (Romans 10:17)! Then she acted on what she believed! Verses 27b-28:


27b ...and she came up behind Him in the throng and touched His garment, 28 For she kept saying, If I only touch His garments, I shall be restored to health.


First she spoke out what she believed, then she did it! What was the result of her thoughts, words and actions? Verse 29:


29 And immediately her flow of blood was dried up at the source, and [suddenly] she felt in her body that she was healed of her [distressing] ailment.


How did Jesus respond to her actions? First He asked who had touched Him because He was aware that power gone out of His body! When she told Him, and the crowd around Him, what she had done, how did He respond? Verse 34:


34 And He said to her, Daughter, YOUR faith (your trust and confidence in Me, springing from faith in God) has restored you to health. Go in peace and be continually healed and freed from your [distressing bodily] ailment.


Everything that YOU need in this life must be received in this same way! Find out what God's Word promises concerning your situation. Continue to hear, and hear, and hear the Word of God concerning this. Speak out what you desire (and the Word of God promises). Next, put action to your faith and receive your answer! Now tell about it! Praise HIM for the answer! He has already provided for us to have a wonderful life, but we must receive it by faith! John 10:10:


10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).


Hallelujah! MAKE this promise YOURS! Amen! Here is "Life" by Hillsong:

Shalom in Him!
