If ever there is a time to throw in the towel is when the doctors tell you an illness is incurable, your home is in foreclosure, or you are at a point of no hope.
Today, you might be walking through a season feeling hopeless.
Like your situation, a woman mentioned in the Bible also heard some disappointing news (Luke 8:43-48).
But she decided although the world could not give her hope, there was power in the healing of Jesus Christ.
She knew the promises of God.
The woman suffered more than 12 years with the issue of blood (v.43). Not only did she suffered during this time, but also she went from doctor to doctor, who told her there was simply no hope for her “issue” (v.43). She also spent all that she had.
But then she heard about a man who can do the impossible. She made up her mind; if only she can touch the hem of His garment, she can be made whole (v.44).
She didn’t give up
Armed with belief, she pressed her way to Jesus. She did not take “no” for an answer. Although there was a massive crowd around Jesus, she kept pushing and did not give up.
What about you?
Have you given up on your healing, family, business, or calling?
Did the doctor or friends say it looks impossible?
There is no need to fear. God can heal and help you right where you are. If you press in and touch the hem of His garment – through prayer, fasting, and believing —you too can be made whole (v.48).
Prayer:
Father God, we worship You in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24). We come to you today with the issue of ______. We openly confess our sins unto you, knowing You have forgiven us by the blood of Jesus.
Father, we have dealt with this issue for some time, and for some of us, it has appeared that it has only grown worse. But while this situation seems hopeless, we can be encouraged to know nothing is impossible with you (Luke 1:37).
God, we know that if we touch you, you will immediately make us whole from the issue of ______ (Luke 8:48). In the name of Jesus Christ, we can decree and declare our faith has made us whole.
Amen.
