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 Luke 8:48 “Your faith has made you well.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, from the above context we come to understand that the woman was of great faith. Since she exercised faith in her life she was made well. The incident occurred while Jesus was travelling to Jabirus house, actually to heal his daughter but on the way a large crowd thronged around. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for almost twelve long years. She 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.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, in a person’s life sickness come in many ways. May be because satan sits inside of him and causes disease. Some might become sick due to taking unhealthy junk food and cause disease for himself. Sometimes due to family curse, or generation curse a person might acquire certain disease. Sometimes God Himself might allow illness in order to test the faith of that person. Often people get so worried about their illness. It would look like a mountain before them. They are afraid that the sickness would lead to death. What does the Bible say? “An evil disease has clung to him therefore he has fallen on his sick bed.”Since he has fallen on his sick bed he will not rise up again. They say that is the end of him.” They might say, it is an incurable disease. This is the assumption of people. But God is above all. He says, “I know the thoughts that I think towards you. Thoughts of peace and not of evil. To give you a future and a hope. ” No matter how a person is affected by sickness God is able to heal all kinds of disease. He is God of all flesh; there is nothing too hard for Him that He cannot do.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, We read of a woman in the Bible whose name is unknown. She was a woman having a flow of blood for twelve long years. She spent all her lively hood, on physicians, and could not be healed. Therefore having heard that Jesus was passing by the road side. And though there was a great crowd she managed to come from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately the flow of blood stopped. She was healed of her disease completely in a moment. An extraordinary power was released from Jesus upon her. So Jesus questioned as to who touched Him, Just then the woman admitted that it was she who touched His garment. She declared to him in the presence of all the people, the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately. Looking at her Jesus said, “’Daughter be of good cheer, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”’Many thought that she who had fallen sick with the issue of blood, will never again rise up. Some thought she would die of this sickness. God’s power is beyond human prediction. For in a moment the issue of blood was stopped. God gave her free healing. God gave her another opportunity to live her life.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, What kind of incurable disease are you suffering from. Are you taking many types of medicines? And yet you are unable to get cured. You don’t seem to get better in spite of taking good medication. For such kind of people, God is going to perform a miracle for you today. For those of you who are reading this message, make use of the opportunity that is given to you. Increase your faith in God. Just as the woman with the issue of blood, was healed because of her ardent faith in Jesus, you also will be healed of your disease. Exercise faith in your daily life. You will enjoy the rich blessings of God.
God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Increase our faith in You Lord. Make us to be bold like the woman with an issue of blood, to approach Jesus. Thank You Lord for releasing your power upon us. Thank you for healing all our disease. Help us to move forward in our life with hope and dependence upon God and His favour.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
