The Healer
“If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.
Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
Now remember, in Hebrews 13:8 Jesus says, "I am the same yesterday, today and forever." He never changes - He is the same. Maybe you can hear a slight wind blowing, I am sitting on top of a hill overlooking the mighty blue Indian Ocean. What a beautiful morning! And you know, there is one thought that comes to my mind it is:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1
God said one word and everything that I am looking at came to pass. Is He not able to heal your affliction today my dear friend? You see, that woman had spent all her money, she had no money left. For twelve years she had been bleeding. She heard the King of Kings was walking past - Jesus of Nazareth. There was a crowd that just thronged Him. She said to herself: "If I can just touch the hem of his garment, I will be healed."
She must have crept through the legs of the people. She got to the bottom of that crowd, she stretched out her hand and she touched the hem of His garment. And instantly, the Bible says she was healed. The flow of blood stopped. Jesus swung around and said: “Who touched me?”
The disciples said, "Lord, people are pushing in from all sides", but you see Jesus knew that a woman of faith had touched Him. She put up her little hand and He said, "Woman, go in peace. Your faith has made you well."
This morning maybe I am talking to somebody who the doctors say: “Well, there is no more we can do for you. Go home and make yourself comfortable." I want to say to you today: "Reach out to the Son of God, the Miracle-worker - reach out to Jesus and say: "Lord, please heal me!"
Maybe it is a physical ailment, a mental ailment or maybe it is an emotional one - He is closer to you than you realise.
In fact, He lives within you, He says:
“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3
Have a blessed Sunday as you look upon The Healer, not upon your situation. He will undertake for you as He has done for me, many, many times. God bless you and have a blessed Sunday.
