Faith Plus Power Equal Healing

Week of ~August 3, 2009

A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." 29Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
30At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' "
32But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
MARK 5:25-34 (NIV)

Good Morning,

I apologize for posting this a day late. Please forgive me.

The above scripture is powerful and clear. The woman above had a medical issue. It dealt with blood, which was possibly a disease. For twelve years, to no avail, she sought the help (healing, relief from her suffering) from doctors (man). All the doctors were able to provide her was temporary relief (possibly medicines), but no cure for her blood issue(disease). We know it was temporary because it states that she grew worse, not better.

This can possibly relate to many of us. Have you had an issue, that you have been dealing with for a day (a day to us, can be a year to our Lord) too long? Have you sought out the help from multiple "Specialists" (men with degrees)? Are you tired of the same empty answers and the run around? Are you tired of wasting time and money on multiple visits to the doctors?

Do you not know that there is but ONE Healer? Do you not know that when you are truly tired (as the woman above), you will seek out our Lord Jesus Christ? See, when you have that encounter (visit) with the POWER of JESUS, you will be healed. However, you must FIRST have FAITH that He can and will heal you. See, the power rests in Jesus. It is there for all that seek Him out. But if you do not have FAITH, He cannot release His POWER to Heal you!

Our God is not a forceful God. He has giving us all free will to choose. All that we need rests in HIM. So if you have the Faith, seek JESUS out, not man! Seek Jesus for your healing. That woman had such strong faith that she knew that if she at least touched His cloak, she would be healed! As you see, once she TOUCHED (after seeking Him, through the crowd) she was IMMEDIATELY healed (Faith + Power = Healing)! Now, you must worship and give all of the credit and glory for your healing to the Lord, not doctors (man)!

Now, when Jesus felt the RELEASE of the POWER from Him, He started asking looking for the person who was bold enough to touch Him (without even asking Him to heal them). The woman took that as if Jesus was angry, so she became fearful. However, Jesus was not mad at all. He wants people who are bold, who believe and who trust in Him, alone to meet ALL of their needs. He told the woman that HER FAITH healed her so go in peace! Did you see that? Jesus WANTS to heal you, but, just like all things, there is an order, ingredients, a process to all things. Just like the Body of Christ is made up of many parts (each part is needed to function), so is the same with Healing, Salvation, etc. For instance we KNOW the plan of Salvation is available, but we must BELIEVE and have FAITH and RECEIVE It, because the Lord will not force it on us. We have a choice!

The Word was with God and God was with the Word. Before there was, He IS. Everything that exists, exists through Him. GOD had a thought, He then spoke it into exsistance ("Let there Be Light"), and the manifestations took place. So if you want to be healed, activate your FAITH in Jesus, seek Him out, don't stop seeking (the woman went through CROWDS to get to Jesus) until you reach Him, and you WILL be Healed because of your FAITH in the POWER of Jesus Christ! Amen.

Have a Blessed Week, and remember, Nothing is impossible with God! Amen.
