I love this story! This story is such an amazing story and it is talked about in Matthew, Mark and Luke! Some might skim over the story because the woman in the story does not have a name and she literally was just called "a woman who was bleeding for 12 years". So, let me give you the background of this story...

Jesus was preaching in his home town and he was healing men and forgiving sins. At one point, a man came up to Jesus and asked him to come put his hand on his daughter because she had just died. (25) And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. (26) She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. (27) When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, (28) because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” (29) Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

(30) At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”(31) “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”(32) But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. (33) Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. (34) He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

Talk about faith! She knew that all she had to do was to believe if she touched his cloak, she would be healed. Jesus told her that she was healed because of her faith. This should light you up inside. Truly believing what you want and going for it. The passage does not say that she thought about touching his cloak and wondering if she would be healed. She declared that if she just touched his cloak, not even touching Jesus, but just his cloak, that she would be healed.

We should all be so bold to declare our wants and BELIEVE them. God already knows your thoughts, he already knows what you want, wouldn't it be better to just talk to him about them. So, go forth and BELIEVE that you will be healed, you will be prosperous, you will succeed, you will...

Many blessings to you my friend 🦋

Be the light 💛
