WOMAN OF FAITH
Text:_ Mark 5:25-34
Bless us Lord tonight by your word In Jesus' Name. Amen
...
The woman with the issue of blood heard, believed and “acted”.
The Bible says, “For the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
Colossians 3: 16 says, “Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom.”
Faith is active. It is an action word. Faith without work is dead.
This woman took a step by moving forward to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment.
Imagine God giving you a word about your academics, for example, you heard it, and believed it but refused to read or prepare for your exams. Will that yield any positive results?
It was faith in action for her to have taken that step not minding what anyone has to say. The crowd around were enough to discourage her but she rather responded to the nudging in her.
She pressed on. And her faith brought her healing and wholeness.
There seem to be several unfulfilled promises today because men lack the faith to key into them.
The Bible says, “These signs shall follow they that believe…” (Mark 16: 18).
Fear has taken hold of some believers today and they doubt the tangibility of God's Word.
Reading through Hebrews 11, you see men who took risks. They believed even unto death.
No wonder the devil will do everything possible to distract a child of God from hearing or focusing on God's Word.
He tries to feed us with all kinds of lies and at a little attack or challenge, some believers begin to cower away in fear. Your healing, liberation, etc. lies in your faith in God.
Faith should be a lifestyle for us as God's daughters. A woman of faith dares and does the impossible because she operates from a realm of possibilities.
However, we need to be Women of the Word to operate in Faith.
Hear and pay attention to God’s Word and things that edify your Spirit man.
Several women in the scriptures portrayed faith ranging from simple issues to complex ones. Operate in faith. The woman with the issue of blood must have had her fears too (vs 33). But she didn't let that hinder her from getting her miracle. She held on to the Word.
Her touch was different.
While others thronged him, she touched. A touch that dispelled virtue from the Master. She had spent all that she had but this time she only needed to shift her gaze to Jesus. Why go too far for the solution when He is in you? He is near you.
Don't allow unbelief to rob you of all God has in store for you. Don't let laziness hinder you from experiencing the reality of God's Word. It is high time the Word becomes real to us. It is high time we walked in the experiential knowledge of it not just like some mere letters being read.
Dear sisters, learn to engage the Word over every situation of your life. We should arise as Women of Faith doing the impossible and greater works. Lay hold on the Word as this woman did.
Are you going through any situation? Search the scriptures to know God's mind regarding it.
Or has the Lord given you any word? Keep engaging it in the place of prayers. Confess it until it becomes a reality; until that situation turns around for the better.
Stop trying to be logical with God's Word or instructions. Sometimes, it won't make sense to you or others around you. Just believe!
How does touching the hem of a garment propel healing? It doesn't make sense to the human mind of course but for her, it was "Faith".
In verse 36 of that same chapter, in another scenario, Jesus said, "Be not afraid: Only Believe"
If thou shalt believe, thou will see the glory of the Lord.
I call you forth from a realm of impossibilities to a realm of possibilities in Jesus' name!
When others say, there's a casting down, for you, there'll be a lifting up.
Is anyone reading this and under the bondage of fear? I decree you are liberated now In Jesus' Name!
You are delivered from every negative word you've heard in time past that has become a stronghold in your life!
Every sickness gets disappeared. Sound health is your portion.
Receive your miracle now.
Faith is activated inside of you! You begin to live above fear and any limitation In Jesus' Name! (Amen)
