Matthew 9:22- " Daughter be of good comfort for your faith make you whole."
This is a story we are all familiar with. Its a story of such a great faith. In Matthew 9: 20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said,“your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.
I know as Christians we go through times where it seems like theres nothing anyone can do. Even the God of the universe. Yes we know that nothing is impossible with him but that doesn't even matter to us. It never crosses our mind. We pray and ask God to do this and that.
The Bible also tells us in Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
I know that we just expect God to answer our prayers. Thats us doing our part right? Not necessarily. In this story here in matthew 9, the woman had been bleeding for 12 years. 12 years is probably not even half of our lives. This woman knew that if she could just touch, just brush the hem of Jesus' garment she would be healed. She had such faith. She didn't know if by doing this it would happen but she believed, she had faith. She was healed instantly.
This story is so encouraging to me. We may not need a physical healing, maybe its a spiritual or emotional or mental healing. maybe theres a relationship that needs to be healed. If you just have faith and reach out, God will do it.
It takes great faith to say, "You know what devil, youve lied to me long enough. God is a just God and he is not a man that he should lie. So im gonna step out in faith and believe God for this." And After you do that its not gonna be easy. It's gonna be rough. The devil is gonna attack you like youve never been attacked before. But with God you can overcome it and get that blessing or healing you need.
I hope this was an encouragement to you today!
