Make Your Miracle Happen!

When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment, for she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” Mark 5:27,28

There are three kinds of people in the world: those who watch things happen, those who make things happen and those who wonder what is happening.

Similarly, we have three kinds of people in the body of Christ. First, we have folks who wonder what’s happening most of the time. Then, we have another group of believers who watch things happen. In other words, they watch folks get healed and receive miracles and think, Man, I’d like to get in the middle of that! Oh, I wish God would do something like that for me!

But then there’s the third kind of Christian. These believers are the bunch who make things happen. I don’t know about you, but that’s the group I want to be part of! I don’t want to wait for anything to happen, I want to be out there making it happen!

Some folks say, “Well, that’s pushing God.” No, we don’t push or control God. No one else does. We just act on what He has already said in His Word.

This woman with the issue of blood didn’t wonder what was happening or wait for something to happen. She made something happen with her faith. She didn’t say, “Oh, I wish Jesus would come to my home.” No, she went to find Him.

Everyone else in the crowd was touching Jesus, and power wasn’t flowing into any of them. But this woman didn’t touch Him with her hand only, she touched Him with her faith. Power flowed out of Him into her, and she was instantly healed.

And notice, Jesus not only turned around and commended the woman, but He had her testify before the entire crowd to show how faith works. He tried to help some of the other folks get into faith. If they’d done the same thing this woman had, they would have received their own miracles.

CONFESSION:

I receive from God just as this woman did. I find in the Word that Jesus healed all kinds of sickness and disease. I ask for my healing, touching Jesus with my faith, and I believe I receive my miracle!
