Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. Mark 5.29

The woman that was healed from hemorrhaging by the Lord could have lost the blessing if she had not fully observed the instructions of the Spirit of God. She told herself that if she only touched the Savior, she would be healed. She understood this when she heard about Jesus and repeated what had been said to her until she had the opportunity to touch the edge of the His garment. The moment she did this, her health was restored!

Those that grow weary of the journey, or do not strive to lay hold of the blessing are like the seed that fall by the side of the road.  One must answer to the heavenly instructions to see that the Almighty is faithful. Those who are mixed up with worldly matters discover they are like those who deny the Holy Spirit. It is useless to know that Jesus died for our sins and yet not be converted.  Receive and embrace Christ now!

Isaiah wrote that by Jesus’ wounds we were healed (Isaiah 53:5). However, just like Jesus said to Martha, sister to Lazarus, only those who believe in the divine declarations can see the glory of God (John 11:40). The woman who was losing blood never ceased to believe that her case would be solved if she only touched the master’s garment. The words that come out of the mouth of God, if accepted and confessed, have the power to do what they declare. That woman’s confession healed her. 

Whoever is facing or going through any trial or problem must open their heart and tell the Father. Furthermore, they must pay attention to the Word, for it will bring the answer and the desired victory. However, if you receive this instruction but put it not into practice, you can cry out to God for months and even years but nothing will happen. Those who confess the words of the Lord witness their faith rising, growing and performing that which was promised. 

That woman had been given up by the doctors of medicine. Even after spending all her wealth, she saw her situation get worse every day. Nevertheless, after having heard about the Savior she started to say that if she could only touch His clothes, she would be made well. The uninterrupted and continuous confession made her cling to the promise of God which allowed Him to restore her to health. What is your daily confession? You say that there is no way to be healed, to prosper or to be sanctified?

King David said he would undoubtedly perish if he did not believe that he would see the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13). The same happens with us. What we believe or not in what we perceive as we hear the Word is what we will have. Therefore strive to say what God says without trace of any doubt. The woman with the loss of blood was strengthened in faith by the confession she made and the perseverance in approaching the Master. Your health depends on your attitude.

When she touched Jesus’ clothes, He felt that virtue had left Him.  This teaches us that by following and fulfilling the directions of the Holy Spirit, the work will be immediately done, without the need for Him to say anything. Be wise and declare what God says, because in this there is enough power to solve your trials and problems. The Almighty and His word are One in the Same!

In Christ, with Love,
