Touching the Hem

Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years. She had endured much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse. She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, for she said, ‘If I but touch his clothes, I will be made well.’ Immediately her hemorrhage stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ And his disciples said to him, ‘You see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, “Who touched me?” ’ He looked all round to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.’

Push through the “worldly crowd”. Look for Jesus….Have the faith to touch Him. Find the healing he has to offer you. (when you find the right garment, you will find the words of healing). Do you know God loves you so much He wants you to be healed?

My touch is STILL a potent healer. Be STILL

FEEL my touch.

SENSE My Presence,

and the fever of WORK,

the fever of WORRY,

the fever of STRESS

and the fever of FEAR

will melt into nothingness

and

HEALTH, JOY, and PEACE, will take it place.

FROM THE PHYSICAL VIGIL:

*How loving and full of grace is Jesus!

*Touching the garment truly felt like touching Christ's garment like he was standing there. It was profound. - Pat Northcott

*Touching the clothes of "Jesus" gave me shivers and I felt at peace
