Encounter
#19:
Jesus
Wants to Heal Me
Read: Mark
5:21-43
Jesus crossed
back over the Sea of Galilee and was met with a multitude of people
waiting for Him. Among them was Jairus. He was one of the rulers in
the synagogue. That meant that he had oversight of the worship,
maintenance, order and general direction of the synagogue. He came
crying to Jesus because his only daughter was at home dying. He had
faith that if Jesus would lay His hands on her, she would be healed.
Jesus began to walk to Jairus' home. As the crowd thronged Him a
woman who was plagued with an issue of blood reached out and touched
His garment. She said that if she can touch His garment, she will be
made whole of the plague she had for 12 years. She had faith to be
healed. Both Jairus and the women believed that Jesus could heal. Do
you believe that? Receive it.
Jesus knew
that someone touched Him in faith. The disciples derided Jesus
because many people were around Him. Many people followed Jesus, but
only one touched Him in faith! Jesus spotted the woman and said she
was healed and made whole. Her plague was never to return. She was
considered unclean and an outcast. She spent all her money on doctors
but only got worse. Jesus knew her story and now she was cleansed and
whole. Just then Jarius got word that his only 12 year old daughter
was dead. He was told not to trouble Jesus any further. But Jesus
overhead what was said and told Jarius not to be fearful, but only
believe. They continued on to Jarius' home. Peter, James and John
(the inner-circle) and the parents of the dead child went into the
bedroom. Jesus did not allow the paid mourners to join with Him
because they doubted Him and laughed at Him when He said she wasn't
dead, but only “sleeping.” He touched the young girl and raised
her from the dead. Everyone was astonished. Jesus raised the dead
back to life again. Jesus has power over death.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, please touch those areas of my life that need
healing and may be dead. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Application:
Reach out to the sick and dying and pray with them to be healed and
raise up. Jesus has power over sickness and death.
Encounter
Jesus: Receive Jesus as your Healer and Life-Giver now.
