The Hem Of His Garment

Today I want to talk about God’s healing power. I’m going to reflect on the story of the woman who had the issue of blood for 12 years and how God healed her. If you need any kind of healing today, I pray that you will be encouraged by this message.

Open up your mind, spirit, and heart to receive just what God has to say.

Scripture

Luke 8:42-48 it says, As Jesus was on His way, the crowds almost crushed Him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind Him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.” Then the woman seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at His feet. Then she told Him why she had touched Him and how she had been instantly healed. Then He said to her, “Daughter your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

Meditation

I cannot imagine what this woman went through. She had this issue of blood for 12 years and no one could help her. I’m sure there were times when she just wanted to give up and stop living. Here are a list of emotions I’m sure she experienced. If you need healing, maybe you will see yourself in some of these emotions. I want to encourage you today to keep the faith.

• Depression
• Sadness
• Fear of the unknown
• Desperation
• Days where she wanted to die
• Good days and bad days
• Ups and Downs
• Doubt

The same God who had the power to heal her is the same God today. The bible says, “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.” He never changes. If you need healing, He can heal you too. Think about this story. There was power in just the hem of His garment! Look at the hem of your clothing and think about that for a moment. To me that is amazing! Imagine the fullness of God’s power through the hem of this garment flowing through and healing this woman. This woman knew that Jesus could heal her and the crowds couldn’t stop her. Her faith pushed her through all of that desperation to reach God’s healing power. Even though she faced so many  hard years, she always kept her faith that one day she would be healed.

Personal Message

Do you need healing in your body today? I want to encourage you to keep believing for that miracle of healing in your life. It may be physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually or whatever it may be. I don’t know what it is, but you and God both know. Don’t give up! His power is there for you too. By faith reach out as she did and brush the hem of His garment and be healed in Jesus’ Name.

God Bless You,
