Who touched me?
Faith
moves God… there is no doubt about this.
Two
women as an example:
The woman with the issue of blood (Mark
5:21-34)
Jesus
was with his disciples and there was a crowd around them, pushing against
Jesus. But then, in the midst of the crowd pushing against him, he noticed that
someone had touched him differently. Just imagine! In the midst of the crowd,
he noticed a touch that was different, that was deliberate, that was a
conscious step… he noticed even in the midst of the crowd!
Lesson: There might be so many people
praying and calling out to him for different reasons, but faith will catch his
attention, faith will make him turn towards you…
Even
his disciples said “ You see people crowding against you and yet you ask “who
touched me?” but Jesus kept looking for that woman who touched him differently.
Knowing she was healed, she came to Jesus feet… Her faith healed her.
The Canaanite woman (Matthew 15: 21-28)
She was a Canaanite asking for her daughter to be healed, "am here for the lost sheep of Israel.."
Jesus said. But she was desperate and his disciples urged Jesus to send her
away. So Jesus turned to her and said,"it is not right to take the children’s
bread and toss it to the dogs”. The woman agreed with Jesus but she replied
saying “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the masters’ table”.
And
that statement moved Jesus to heal her daughter.
Lesson: Regardless of who you are, where you
come from, where you have been… Your faith in him will make you whole.
