THE FAITH TOUCH!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: ” Daughter”, he said, ” Your faith has made you well. God in peace.” Luke 8:48

“Such love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear.” 1 John 4:18

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Today’s message encounters a miracle that, in my mind, is one of the most intriguing that Jesus performed. While Jesus was on the way to perform one miracle another took place as an example of what faith can produce. Faith is not easy to groom in our life. It is actually very hard because we are accustomed to believing what we see and not what we can’t see. The woman with the issue of blood was desperate. She had anguished with this pain and suffering for twelve years without the success of healing. The bible tells us she had gone to the best doctors without success of improvement. As most everyone in the region, she had heard of Jesus and went that day to see him. As a last resort she reached out and touched the fringe of his garment. She didn’t touch him but only the fringe of his clothing. Jesus knew that power had gone from him. When he found the woman he told her, “YOUR FAITH HAS HEALED YOU.” She had believed with faith that by reaching out and touching his clothing she would be healed. This was an example of what faith can do in our lives. As we take a step back in our own lives and examine our own faith, how deep does it run? Many of us are like the woman with the issue of blood. We go through months and sometimes years of pain and suffering, praying that Jesus will heal us. We must have strong and unresisting faith in our lives. We must nurture it with prayer and praise of our God in heaven. We must read and contemplate his Holy Word. We must study and flood our faith just as those in the time of Jesus did. You and I are no different than the woman with the issue of blood. We sometimes must be desperate to receive. Let us all continue to build our faith so that, we too, can experience the joys of the miracles of God. JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
