Speaker 2: King James version. And he said to her daughter, your

32
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: faith has made me whole. Go in peace and be

33
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: whole of thy plague. Hope you'll take some time join

34
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: with me to lift up our adoration our praise to God. God.

35
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: I praise you for sending your son to give his

36
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: life for me. By his stripes, what he endured, I

37
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: am healed, and by his mercy I am saved. You

38
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: do not hide yourself from me, and you give your

39
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: goodness without measure. I will sing your praises for you

40
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: make me whole, and you give me peace. They worship

41
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: you for your loving kindness has restored me body and soul.

42
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: Faith brings healing. The woman in this story had been

43
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: sick for twelve years. She had suffered very much and

44
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: had been seen by many doctors, and seen by many doctors.

45
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: She had spent all of her resources, but nothing was improving,

46
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: only getting worse. When this woman heard about Jesus, she

47
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: decided to follow him. She thought if she could touch

48
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: the him of his garment, she would be healed. And

49
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: when she touched his coat, her bleeding stopped. Recognizing that

50
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 2: power had gone out from him, Jesus asked who touched me,

51
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: and in reverence and feared, the woman stepped away. The

52
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: woman stepped forward to share her story. Jesus then acknowledged

53
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: her faith and says it healed her against all hope

54
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: and in defiance of cultural and social norms. The woman

55
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 2: stepped out in faith what no man could give her,

56
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: faith in God provided it was our healing. Perhaps today

57
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: you find yourself in a similar situation, maybe in need

58
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: of healing. God not only can heal your body, he

59
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: can heal your heart and restore your mind. For faith

60
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: in God is real and it is powerful. Faith in

61
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: God brings healing to us. It can take many shapes

62
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: and forms, but it brings healing. This is your chance

63
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: to step out in faith and to touch, if you will,

64
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: the hem of Jesus's garment. This is your opportunity to

65
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: come before God, confess your failures, your sin, and more,

66
00:05:50,960 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 2: ask Him to strengthen your faith, receive from him. I

67
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: hope you'll joined with me to take a moment and

68
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: dwell on the grace of God. Think of how the

69
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit ministers to you through your faith. Thank Him

70
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 2: for his care and his compassion over you. For bringing

71
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: into your life everything in anything that can help strengthen

72
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: your heart. Bring healing to your soul, to touch your life,

73
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: for manifesting healing, maybe in your body, heart, soul. Thank

74
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: Jesus for loving you unconditionally in the past. Thank him

75
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 2: that his love for you will never change. I don't

76
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: know where you're at or what you're going through, but

77
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: know this God is present, He sees you, He's listening

78
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 2: to you. Jesus is intimately acquainted by the way with

79
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: the fears of this world, the fears of your heart.

80
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: He's aware of the struggle and the difficulty associated with

81
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: fighting the good fight and keeping the faith. However, remember

82
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: he has overcome the world, and as Jesus overcame, you

83
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: will too. You are never alone. You always have an

84
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: audience of one. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you

85
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: to submit your whole heart to obeying Christ. Ask him

86
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: to empower you with the faith that will move mountains.

87
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: Ask him to give you courage to reach out and

88
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: to receive from him. Remember what Jesus said to the woman.

89
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: Dear woman, you are made well because you believed. Go

90
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: in peace and you will have no more suffering. Faith

91
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: brings healing to what ails you. God has called you

92
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: to a victorious life filled with His love. His graath

93
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: is goodness. Never forget the intensity and depth in which

94
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: you are loved by the Father. God's grace, manifested in

95
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: his love for you, will be poured out over will

96
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:31,920
