20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.
If you are ever having one of those days when you are struggling holding on to your Faith please take the time to read Matthew 9. It shows how merciful our God is. How much he cares about us only if we have faith in him, if only we believe & persevere. Now remember Faith without works is useless.
As today's daily dose ♥ implies, this lady with a bleeding problem for 12 years as a woman I cannot even imagine her pains, she MADE her way through the crowd of probably thousands just to touch the garment of Jesus because she believed that no matter how much she gets trampled on, knocked over, cursed out, she was DETERMINED to be healed. "If only I can just touch his garment not even have him lay hands on me' just touch his garment. What awesome faith! She fought through tooth & nail and made it and behold she was healed. Jesus was so impressed by her that indeed he said to her "your faith has healed you".
How many of us are willing to go that far? Some of us are so into what I call the 'robot' christian mentality that if a Pastor does not lay hands on you, or if you do not buy 'holy water' you don't believe you are healed. God has given us the authority, all the tools, it is in the Bible "if you believe and have faith you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer (Matthew 21:22)."
I know we may have read this scripture so many times but really take the time this weekend to analyze it, compare it to today's society, your life, how can you as an individual persevere to have such crazy Faith in God. Are you doing anything in regards to your relationship with God? Are you going through a test right now, a dry or silent season? Or perhaps this may be a joyful season for you are you as faithful to God as you where when all seemed silent? Are you spending your money on 'holy water' or any 'holy' merchandise because you don't believe you can heal yourself but another person can? Now don't get me wrong there are instances were one may need "deliverance' that's another post. Even with deliverance no matter how many demons are 'cast' out of you if you do not believe they have been cast out you are wasting your time.
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see (Hebrews11:1 NLT). Whatever your situation have Faith that God will see you through. You shall testify, remember you have got to have confidence and believe in yourself. You can seek the guidance of an anointed Pastor in ref to prayer points, Bible verses etc but trust me it is written in the Bible, You can do it! You are a Winner and you shall be victorious. Fyi, read old posts on 'Empowering yourself' & 'Prayer' if you need guidance on this blog.
God Bless you this weekend and may his word be a seed in your hearts. I love you, appreciate you and I cannot wait to hear your testimony's, experiences or battles, do share:-)
