Believing It, Is Seeing It
“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.”
Mark 5:28-29
The world’s method is that until I see it,
feel it, smell it, taste it, touch it, I cannot believe. “Seeing is
believing” is the world’s method. In the kingdom of God however,
believing it, is what will make you see it. That is what is called
faith.
In our text above when you read the entire
account about this woman, you will discover many other people touched
Jesus and never received anything (v.31). This woman who had been
bleeding for 12 years came and touched Him in faith, and Jesus felt the
power leave His body (v.30) and that precipitated a healing explosion in
her body. It was the hearing of faith about the goodness and love of
Jesus that convinced her despite her physical condition that had not
changed.
She believed that if she could touch His
clothes she would be whole (v.28) Notice that the healing did not come
before she believed, she believed first and acted in faith before she
felt anything in her body. God wants you to believe in the same way. He
is good and loving and wants you whole. (Rom 8:32). Don’t wait until you
see because the devil will magnify the problem and deny you of your
testimony, believe it, see it with the eye of the Spirit and it will
manifest in the physical.
You can boldly declare His promise over your life in faith and expect a result and it shall come to pass.
