And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
And had suffered many things of many physicians,
and had spent all that she had,
and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind,
and touched His garment.
For she said, If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole.
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up;
and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that virtue had gone out of Him, turned Him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
And His disciples said unto Him,
Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou,
Who touched Me?
And He looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
But the woman fearing and trembling,
knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before Him,
and told Him all the truth.
And He said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole;
go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Mark 5:25-34
Jesus knew that miraculous power had gone out of Him
She knew somehow the Messiah was there, God in the flesh
She also knew He could heal her
She had faith that if she could just touch His garment, she would be healed
He had the power to heal her
And He did
The Living Water, the Bread of Life
as Jesus has been referred to in the Bible
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life:
he that cometh to me shall never hunger;
and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 6:35
The power that is within Him,
that same power that raised Him from the dead,
He shared with that woman
It’s like a tangible power, something you can touch
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
He that raised up Christ from the dead
shall also quicken your mortal bodies
by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. Romans 8:11
Scriptural References:
He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
John 7:38
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:
and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
Luke 8″44
