MY FRIENDS, ALL WE NEED IS IN THE MASTERS TOUCH!!!

And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, AND TOUCHED the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, IF I MAY BUT TOUCH HIS GARMENT, I SHALL BE WHOLE. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; THY FAITH hath made thee whole.

And the woman was made whole from that hour. Matthew 9:20-22 (NKJV) Whenever we speak of this Bible Story, we often deal with the miraculous healing aspect of what occurred instead of the power of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified to save the sinner sinking deep in sin. His ability to perform miracles is secondary for healing each of us of our infirmities is only a thought in the holy realm of our Savior.

The psalmist tells us in Ps. 30:2 (KJV)”O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.” In fact Paul tells us in Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US.” My friends that is where I need you to focus on today on the words “THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US.“ for it all comes down to THE POWER OF OUR FAITH THAT IS WITHIN US.

Often when Jesus healed in the gospels, He told the person that was healed not to tell anyone. It was not because He was trying to hide the power of His miracles. But He knew OUR FAITH IN the POWER of HIS NAME was what was important on this journey God has placed each of us on to the kingdom. Twelve years of constant blood flow, what ENDURANCE as she seeked TO TOUCH the Master.

Exhausted and smothered by the crowd, desperate to see if what she had heard of the power of this street preacher was accurate. Finally falling to her knees as she told herself, “IF I MAY BUT TOUCH HIS GARMENT, I SHALL BE WHOLE” Matt. 9: 21 (KJV) reaching, crawling, on her hands and knees in the filth and grime of the outside environment.

Oh what PASSION as she reached with only one thing in Her hand and that was the faith that who the rable had called a street preacher would be what she had been seeking not only 12 years but a lifetime of hope for the Savior to cleanse her of all her physical weaknesses and sins. So she touched His garment as He passed her, that was all it took. For it then became personal from that point on as His focused on her problem and her Salvation became His main priority.

Consistent with that, our God is a personal God because He “knows when we sit down and when we get up. He knows our thoughts before we think them. He knows where we go and where we lie down. He knows everything we do. Lord, even before we say a word, Ps. 139 1:4 (KJV) Faith my friends as she reached out AND TOUCHED THE MASTER and that same faith we must all have as we seek His presence with a Passion, in heartfelt and sincere prayer as we cry out Lord I know as a Child of God you have my back in all situations and circumstances, so I don’t mean to waste your time, but I have a passion deep down inside just to fill the power of the MASTER’S TOUCH.

Everything in my life tells me I have no hope, but I know there is hope for the hopeless IN YOUR TOUCH. There is, Rest for the weary IN YOUR TOUCH, Love, grace and mercy in the Master’s TOUCH and forgiveness and restoration IN YOUR TOUCH, as you meet me wherever, and whatever place in my life I am at. And when the wind and rain, beats against the very fiber of my existence, you tell me not to be afraid for your love knows no bounds, and all we have to do is have the faith to reach out AND TOUCH YOU.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
