The Bible says:
"Now a woman having a non-stop flow of blood for twelve years laying prone on the ground, touched the border of Christ Yeshua's garment as He walked by.
And immediately, her flow of blood stopped.
Jesus surprised, suddenly exclaimed:
"Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.”
Now when the woman saw that she was no longer hidden, she confessed that she had touched Christ Yeshua's robe and was healed immediately!
There are three important lessons for us in this narrative:
1) RECOGNIZE AND SEIZE YOUR MOMENT OF OPPORTUNITY.
This woman understood that Jesus was visiting her town and might not be back.
There are "God Moments" in life when you must rearrange your priorities, overcome your fear, and exercise your FAITH.
If you don’t, you will miss God’s best intentioned blessings for you.
2) BE WILLING TO TRY A DIFFERENT APPROACH.
Since she couldn’t get Christ’s attention because of the immense crowd, this woman touched the hem of His garment and was healed.
Many times, FAITH calls for stepping into the unknown, doing something you have never done before, and discovering God’s grace at work in ways you never expected or even imagined.
3) ESTABLISH A PRECEDENT FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW.
Until this time, no one in Scripture had ever been healed by touching Jesus’s garment, and this woman’s FAITH opened a door for others to follow her example.
"People brought all of their sick to Yeshua and begged Him to let the sick just touch the edge of His cloak, and all who touched it were healed!"
God is looking for people who are willing to break with tradition.
And when He finds them, He uses them to unlock new dimensions of His power so that others can be blessed and made whole.
In Matthew 17:20, Christ Yeshua confirmed:
“If you have FAITH as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, move from here to there and it will move.
NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU."
Especially in these extremely challenging times, unconditional FAITH in God is the very best life foundation we can build everlasting trust & hope on.
Pray to The Holy Spirit and ask Him to empower you, to become a trusting person who is willing to always take a giant leap of Faith.
And know that His loving arms are always ready to catch you.
NOW, LET GO AND LET GOD!
Amen!
