His Touch

And besought Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. Matthew 14:36

And He laid His hand on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God (Luke 13:13)

Jesus touched the infirmed (weak of mind, will or character) woman.

There's a place in God where the Lord will touch you and provide intimacy in your life when you're not getting it from other places.

You may find yourself like the woman at the well, who sought physical gratification.

If you seek only the physical when you really need intimacy, what you end up getting is simply sex.

Sex is a poor substitute for intimacy. It's nice with intimacy, but when it is substituted for intimacy, it's frustrating.

Jesus knew this woman.

He was the only one who truly knew her.

He touched her and healed her.

He unleashed her potential that had been bound for 18 years.

You can accomplish everything once you have been called to Jesus.

From that moment on you became INVINCIBLE.

However, most likely your words have hindered you. Often we are snared by the words in our own mouth.

The enemy would love to destroy you with your own words.

Satan has turned your back against you.

He will use your strength against you.

Many of you have beat yourself down with the power of your own words.

You have twisted your own back.

The enemy worked you agains yourself until you saw yourself as crippled.

Reverse his plan.

If you had enough force to bend yourself, you've got enough force to straighten yourself back up again.

The Lord told this woman the truth about herself.

He told her that she was loosed and set free.

He saw the truth despite what everyone else saw.

She was important.
