Faith brings healing. 41 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: The woman in this story had been sick for twelve years. 42 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: She had suffered very much and seen many doctors. She 43 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: had spent all her resources, but she was not improving. 44 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 3: She was getting worse. When this woman heard about Jesus, 45 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: she followed him. She thought if she could but touch 46 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: the hem of his garment, she would be healed. When 47 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: she touched his coat, her bleeding stopped. Recognizing that power 48 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: had gone out from him. Jesus asked, who touched me? 49 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 3: In reverence and fear, the woman stepped forward to share 50 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 3: her story. Jesus then acknowledges her faith and says it 51 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: healed her. Against all hope and in defiance of cultural 52 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 3: and social norms, this woman stepped out in faith what 53 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 3: no man could give her. Faith in God provided her healing. 54 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 3: Perhaps to day you find yourself in a similar situation 55 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 3: and in need of healing. God can not only heal 56 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 3: your body, he can also heal your heart and restore 57 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 3: your mind. For faith in God is real and it 58 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: is powerful. Faith in God produces healing. This is your 59 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,799 Speaker 3: chance to step out in faith and touch the hem 60 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 3: of Jesus's garment. This is your opportunity to come before 61 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 3: God and to confess your failures and mistakes, to share 62 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: your faith with the Holy Spirit, and to receive healing. 63 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: Take a moment to dwell on the grace of God. 64 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 3: Think of how the Holy Spirit ministers to you through 65 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: your faith.

He is aware 71 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 3: of the struggle and difficulty associated with fighting the good 72 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: fight and keeping the faith. However, he overcame the world. 73 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: As Jesus overcame, you will too. You are not alone. 74 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: Ask the Holy Spirit to help you. Submit your whole 75 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 3: heart to obeying Christ.
