Faith brings healing. 41 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: The woman in this story had been sick for twelve years. 42 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 2: She had suffered very much and seen many doctors. She 43 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: had spent all her resources, but she was not improving. 44 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 2: She was getting worse. When this woman heard about Jesus, 45 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: she followed him. She thought if she could but touch 46 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: the hem of his garment, she would be healed. When 47 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: she touched his coat, her bleeding stopped. Recognizing that power 48 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: had gone out from him. Jesus asked, who touched me? 49 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: In reverence and fear, the woman stepped forward to share 50 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: her story. Jesus then acknowledges her faith and says it 51 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: healed her. Against all hope and in defiance of cultural 52 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: and social norms, this woman stepped out in faith what 53 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: no man could give her. Faith in God provided her healing. 54 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 2: Perhaps today you find yourself in a similar situation and 55 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: in need of healing. God cannot only heal your body, 56 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 2: he can also heal your heart and restore your mind. 57 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: For faith in God is real and it is powerful. 58 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: Faith in God produces healing. This is your chance to 59 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: step out in faith and touch the hem of jesus garment. 60 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: This is your opportunity to come before God and to 61 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: confess your failures and mistakes, to share your faith with 62 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, and to receive healing. Take a moment 63 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: to dwell on the grace of God. Think of how 64 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit ministers to you through your faith. Thank 65 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: him for his care and his compassion over you, for 66 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 2: manifesting healing to your body, heart and soul. Thank Jesus 67 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 2: for loving you unconditionally in the past, and thank him 68 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: that his love will never change. God is present and 69 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 2: he is listening to you. Jesus is intimately acquainted with 70 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 2: the fears of this world. He is aware of the 71 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 2: struggle and difficulty associated with fighting the good fight and 72 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 2: keeping the faith. However, he overcame the world. As Jesus overcame, 73 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: you will too. You are not alone. Ask the Holy 74 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: Spirit to help you submit your whole heart to obeying Christ. 75 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 2: Ask him to empower you with faith that will move mountains. 76 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: Ask him to give you courage for you to reach 77 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: out and to receive your healing. Remember Jesus said to 78 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: the woman, dear woman, you are made well because you believed. 79 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: Go in peace. You will have no more suffering. Faith 80 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: brings healing to what ails you. God has called you 81 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 2: to a victorious life filled with His love, his grace, 82 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: and his goodness. Never forget the intensity and the depth 83 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: in which you are loved. By the Father. God's grace 84 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: manifested in his love for you, will be poured out 85 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: to all who believe.
