***And you shall know the truth. And the truth will set you free!!!***

For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well”
Mark 5:28

One time, as Jesus was moving through a huge crowd, there was a certain woman who had been sick for 12 years with a haemorrhage. She had many bad encounters with doctors who could not give her a cure for her disease. She was not getting any better; in fact, she was getting worse. By now, her huge medical bills were pushing her toward bankruptcy. Then one day, somebody told her abt the wonderful miracles Jesus did. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Rom 10:17). The Greek word for “hearing” is in the present continuous tense. That means you need to hear God’s Word spoken to u again and again. That is also the reason why listening to good, faith building sermons is so impt. You can hear then in church, from an audiotape, thru a radio or television broadcast, thru the internet, or simply by reading the Bible aloud to urself.

So this woman heard abt Jesus. She then started saying to herself, “I can be healed. If I could only touch His clothes, I know I can be made whole.” Again in the Greek text, it indicates that she rehearsed and confessed this to herself again and again. Faith is speaking out – again and again. Jesus says, “Whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says” (Mark 11:23)

Then this woman acted out what she believed. She came behind Jesus in the crowd and actually touched His garment. Immediately, power left Jesus and healed her of her affliction. Jesus felt the outflow, she felt the inflow. Instead of Jesus rebuking the woman for doing that, He commended the woman for her faith (Mark 5:34). What was her faith?

She heard. She spoke. She acted. This woman didn’t just follow or trust God passively. She translated her faith into positive and physical action. Dun be a passive Christian. Decide to hear God’s Word daily speak and confess them aloud to yourself. Then act out whatever the Word says. God moves when u move – in a faith that is active.

Over here we can see an illustration of faith… All I can say is tt faith is not juz saying n confessing it but also doing it… It is written that faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God… These only build up ur faith but the more impt of building up ur faith is when u turn it into action… When u see sth happen, ur faith will not juz build up but also strengthen up n become stronger… These means ur foundation is gg to be stabilized… it is impt to lay a gd foundation in the Lord as it will prevent u from attacking from the devil… Dun forget the devil know as much as u do n it is a gd bible student… He know the Bible more then we do stimes… Thus in order to win the spiritual warfare with the devil, u have to be rooted in the Word n lay a gd foundation… TT is y it is impt to read the bible daily n pray to the Lord daily so tt ur foundation with God is stable… U see the woman kept on rehearsing n she receive it in the end… So if we do wat she does, we can also be like her able to receive from the Lord our rewards…

There is also another point which we can also learn from the woman is tt she not juz have the faith but also she nva doubt but kept on believing… The bible said b4 “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (Jn 20:29). If thing tt u see, u believe. And things tt u have not seen n yet believe, u r surely to be blessed cuz u believe n have faith in God… Believing is a supernatural form… It gives u the power… The power is den later turn into faith which turn into action… Believing build up ur faith n lays the foundation… TT is y when we do the sinner’s prayer, U have to first admit there is God n u have to believe the existence of God n den u confess it…

Why Christian always seems to enjoy a lot, it is becuz we believe in God tt stirs the faith in us in Him, n it become a cycle of blessing whereby it is clearly stated in Jn 20:29. When God starts to move in ur live n u see God changing ur lives, the cycle will repeat itself becuz u starts to depend on God more den ur physical ability… With ur physical ability u can do much, but with God’s given ability u can do the extraordinary…
