Your faith has made you well go in peace!

One day as Jesus was walking amidst a great crowd of people, He suddenly stopped and asked, “Who touched Me?” The disciples looked at each other in amazement and Peter responded by saying, “Master, the whole crowd is touching you!” But Jesus said, “Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.” Isn’t that amazing? Hundreds of people were pressing against Jesus but only one person’s touch caught His attention. Who was this person and what was it about them that made them stand out above all the rest?

“A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding, and she could find no cure. Coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped.” Luke 8:43-44

I believe in my spirit that the Lord has something special to teach us in this passage and message. It’s pretty amazing when we read this that the woman didn’t beg, plead or ask. She simply believed that the Lord could heal her and based upon her belief, she acted. To me, she performed what may be one of the greatest demonstrations of faith in all the Bible. Apparently Jesus was pleased with what she did for scripture tells us that He said to her – “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” (Luke 8:48)

Many believers have grown too accustomed to living life without expecting to experience the supernatural. For some reason their prayers are producing so few results that many of them have almost stopped praying. Yet is the reason they are not experiencing more miracles due to the fact that it is not the Lord’s will or that they don’t demonstrate this kind of faith? They have redefined faith to mean – {I hope, I think, I wish.} In reality, the word faith means – {confidence, trust, assurance and obedience.}

Every prayer we pray should be an attempt to touch the hem of His garment. Yes, there may be some requests we will make that will not be according to His will; but unless we know that is the case, every prayer should be filled with the kind of faith that will seek a miracle.

Have a wonderful day as you remain in His presence. Love you all.
