HEALING IN A MOMENT

“For she said within herself, if I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole” Matt. 5:21

It all started as a normal menstruation every adult woman experiences at the circle of twenty-five to thirty days. It is a sign of maturity and symbol of reproduction in woman.

Every parent feels happy the very first time his or her daughter starts her menstrual period. Meanwhile, some young women feel bad and ashamed the very first time they saw their cloth stained with blood at the back. Most time the menstrual period starts either at school or at the marketplace. It always starts unexpectedly.

That was the experience of a certain young and beautiful woman. She always feels happy as a complete woman whenever she saw her menstruation. One day, the blood flowing started. It was expected to stop in five days’ time, which was her normal menstrual circle. “What is happening to me my menstrual period is supposed to last for five days, but it’s going to seventh day and still flowing?” said the woman.

For twelve years she could not find a solution to her flowing blood. Her problem became her identity. Nobody remembered her name but they remember her problem. She spent all her hard earnings to secure her healthy living. However all her efforts to get well proved abortive.

Her problem became so severe that no man was ready to ask her hands in marriage. She too became depressed and never desired to get married because of her problem. She could no longer associate with her friends. Nobody invited her to any occasion. She was ostracized. A well looking and beautiful woman at her prime became an aged woman, a pill of bones and very weak.

One faithful day, a popular man came to a great physician and pleaded with Him to come and attend to his sick daughter, who was at the point of death. Jesus, the Great Physician, stood up with His disciples and followed the man.

Remember, Jesus Christ didn’t walk alone. Wherever He goes, a crowd followed Him. On that day, the crowd moved with Jesus and everybody wanted to experience His supernatural power. Meanwhile, this woman with flowing blood also was among the crowd, sick and feeble.

When she discovered that it would be difficult for her to cope with the pressure of the crowd and also to secure the attention of Jesus, she said in her heart, “If but I may touch His garment I shall be whole.”

The moment she said that in her heart, she was healed. What she could not do before she started doing them. She had no strength to press through the crowd. She got strength. She was no more afraid of the Jewish law that restrains her from coming closer to people because of her issue of blood. No more smell of the blood on her body. She was healed, but not yet whole.

Her healing started with her mind. For her to be made whole was a miracle, which was connected to the hem of the garment of Jesus Christ. She did not stopped at the point of healing; she went further to touch the hem of His garment then she was made whole.

Friend, are you determined to experience supernatural power of God? Yes! It is possible if you can make up your mind and connect your miracle to the God’s word. Surrender your life and situation to Jesus today and you will never regret it.

May the Word of God make you whole from every shameful situation in your life, in Jesus Name. As you determine to follow Jesus and be committed to His service, your life will became a miracle to those that hate you.
