“And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole” (Matthew 9:20-21).
Matthew 9:20-22 recounts the remarkable story
of a woman with an issue of blood. Although she saw the crowd that thronged the
Lord Jesus, that didn’t quell her desire to touch Him. She said within herself,
“If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole,” and she pushed through the
crowd until she got just close enough to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. As
she did, Scripture records that her issue of blood dried immediately from its
fountain (Mark 5:29) Hallelujah!
The Master, perceiving that virtue had gone
out of Him, turned around and asked, “Who touched me?” Now, He was being
thronged and pressed by the crowd with Him, but He sensed a difference in this
touch. This was one touch that got His attention; it was a touch of faith. When
He found Her, He said to her “…Daughter,
thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague”
(Mark 5:34). Her touch of faith got her the miracle she desired!
When you reach out to God by acting on His
Word in faith, you are guaranteed your testimony! Hebrews 11:6 tells us, “But without faith it is impossible to please
him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a
rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” The Bible says of
Abraham, “He staggered not at the promise
of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God”
(Romans 4:20).
Do you have a need? Is there something you
desire; a situation or condition you want changed? Then you can act like this
woman and father Abraham; refuse to consider the present situation, report or
circumstance; turn your faith loose to touch God and receive your miracle!
