My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Mark 5:25-29, ‘And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From the above context we come across an unnamed woman who had an issue of blood for 12 long years. She had spent all her money, now she was penniless. She was disappointed and frustrated. It seemed that none could help her. Even the disciples couldn’t help her. They didn’t know what her problem was all about. She had suffered a lot under the care of the medical doctors. She believed not only Him but had faith that touching even His clothes would provide healing from disease. She touched the hem of His garment. Through this wonderful encounter she was instantly healed of her long standing sickness. She was also blessed with deep sense of inner peace. The flow of blood stopped suddenly due to the power of Jesus. But no one else including the disciples recognized what had happened. Though the woman feared yet she boldly presented herself to Jesus to reveal the whole truth. After being healed, She could have escaped from the crowd. But she understood the intense look of Jesus.
There are times man can’t help us. Only God is able to meet our deepest needs. Jesus knew who had touched Him. But He wanted her public confession. Christ addressed her as Daughter. He accepted her as a member of God’s family even though she was impure. However unclean you might be, God is ready to accept you as you are. For God says, All you that labour and are heavy laden come unto Me and I will give you rest. My dearly Beloved, the healing power of Jesus is coming into your homes right now, Do receive His mighty power and His virtue that is being released upon you. You shall not only be healed of your disease but you shall receive an inner healing of the mind and soul. So Receive Jesus and be healed.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord, for healing us of our disease. Thank you for removing our transgressions from us. We realize that you are merciful to those who fear you. You know our need and therefore you bless us according to our needs. Help us to be bold in admitting our mistake and our helpless situation. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
