Let Him take care of your “issue”

“And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed.” Immediately, her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.” Mark 5: 25-29

The Bible tells us that the woman with the issue of blood had suffered from this problem for twelve years and had spent all that she had trying to get help from doctors without any success. Then when it seemed like all was lost, she heard that Jesus, the healer was in town and she decided to go and see Him. She was convinced that if she could only touch His cloak she would be healed. She immediately made her way to where Jesus was and did exactly that and got her healing.

 Although this story focuses on physical healing, it could well be applied to different kinds of problems, including emotional problems. Too many of us have “issues”. We have “issues” of anger, fear, jealousy, lust, greed, dishonesty, etc. “Issues” hinder us and limit us from walking in the fullness of what God has for us. Many of us have tried all that we can, gone to therapy, seen psychiatrists, psychologists, etc, but nothing has helped. Well, I have good news for you. Jesus is in town and He is not only ABLE but He is also WILLING to help you. Hallelujah!!

Like the woman with the issue of blood, it is important that we recognize that we have an “issue” and admit that no one can help us but Jesus. Then we have to take the bold step of bringing it to Him in faith and reaching out for our healing and deliverance. Today, let us reach out and touch the hem of the Master’s garment for surely we shall be made whole. Amen.

Prayer: Lord, it is good to know that you are all knowing and that there is nothing that can be hidden from you. It is also good to know that you are all powerful and that there is nothing that you cannot do. You know all the “issues” that your children have and you desire to see us freed from them. This day, I bring this issue of (Name it) before you and ask you to deliver me from it so I can walk in the fullness of your plans and your purposes for my life. I thank you in advance for the victory in Jesus Precious Name,. Amen and Amen.
