Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Mark 5:25-26 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years
1. This woman had an issue of blood- Physical problem
2. 12 years, suffered many things at the hands of physicians Mental and emotional problems
3. Spent all she had, financial problems Must have been wealthy
4. Was nothing better but rather grew worse All hope gone
This woman was a Jew but because of her illness she was unable to go to the synagogue, she had to declare herself unclean
She was unable to go to church for 12 years, unable to take part in any of the feasts
She could not turn off the voice of circumstances; this is also the worlds problem
We have the answer; the voice of faith is greater than the voice of circumstances
Mark 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus
1. Jesus is the greater voice, greater than the voice of circumstances
2. The beginning of her answer she heard of Jesus faith comes by hearing Rom 10:17 When you hear the word God will cause faith to come
3. You must decide to listen to the greater voice
4. People hold onto the voice of circumstances and not the word of God my sickness, my poverty, my problem
5. We need to own the promise of God and not the problem
Mark 5:28 For she said Her deliverance started with her mouth, her confession
Mark 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
She said if I may touch his clothes I will be whole nothing missing and nothing broken Her confession set the limits of her faith
God and man meet at the place of faith
She said Her faith first moved her mouth She began to speak the answer rather than the problem
Mark 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up;
She believed, she said, she acted and God showed up this was the proof
Mark 5:29 and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
She felt she was healed, notice she wasnt made whole, he faith was that she would be whole, right now she was just healed
She believed, she said, she acted and then she felt Most of us want to feel something first
If we feel it we will act on it Dont sit around waiting for a feeling Start out by faith and act on it
Dont base your faith on your feelings, dont base it on your 5 senses, base it on the word of God
Mark 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him
1. Faith caused the power of God to flow towards this woman
2. Many were touching him but the touch of faith was different
3. When Jesus knew power was gone out of him he looked to see
This woman first had a faith testimony but when she acted it became a truth testimony
Matt. 14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
She set a faith precedent, many others heard her testimony and acted accordingly, if God will heal one he will heal all
Mark 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling It may look like a risk in the natural but in the spiritual it is assurance
This woman wasnt made whole yet, I wonder what would have happened if she had slinked off into the crowd and not stood up and testified, she would have went away healed but not whole
She stood and testified or confessed her healing a second time and this time she was made whole, two often we stop short of the blessing, too often we get a little relief and we stop there Jesus wants us to go on until we are restored or made whole
Mark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
Jesus completed what this woman began in faith
He called her daughter or he brought her back into the family, he healed her emotions after 12 years
Jesus is the living word of God; she reached out by faith and touched the word of God We still have the word today and we can reach out by faith and touch the word of God too
I want you to notice something important here Jesus wasnt looking for her to heal her; he didnt come looking for her, she didnt ask him or present her case or cry out in the street, Jesus had to ask, who touched me
Jesus wasnt looking for her to heal her; she was looking for him to be healed She went after him, she touched him and her touch was different from all the others that were touching him that day because her touch drew on the anointing
She didnt say O Lord if it be thy will, she laid hold of Jesus and was healed
Its our responsibility to step out in faith and seek the blessing from Jesus
Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
