There are some New Testament stories, told by more than one writer. The story of the woman with the issue of blood is one, found in Matthew 9, Mark 5 & Luke 8. Luke recounts in Luke 8:46 Jesus saying, ‘Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me’.
We know from these passages, the lady was desperate, she had spent all she had trying to find a cure, had seen many doctors, and lost most of her friends. I’m sure she would have preferred a quiet sit down with Jesus to explain her problem, yet the crowd dashed those hopes. She had to muster her last strength just to even touch Him. She was healed – Hallelujah.
If you have a need where everything you have tried to do to fix it, has failed, maybe it’s time to turn to Jesus and reach out to His power today.
