And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick, and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well. Matthew 14:35-36

 

As Jesus ministry spread across the land, many who heard of His healing power were convinced that by simply touching His garment, they would be saved. Their faith in Him healed their sickness and that testimony is what sustained their faith from that day forward. You might be thinking that was all good and well in those days, but we don’t have the physical presence of Jesus to touch His garment.

 

That is why Jesus gave us His Holy Spirit upon departure from earth (John 14:15-27). His Spirit is God’s presence in our lives. We don’t have to go to where He is, He is with each and every child of God, 24/7. And the beautiful thing about that relationship with God is He knows your needs, your wants and desires. His Spirit prays on your behalf (Romans 8:26-27).

 

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:6

 

Whatever concerns you or weighs heavy on your heart, bring it to the Lord and He will help you in the time of need. Ask in faith and don’t doubt His ability or desire to work in your specific situation. He loves you and wants to give you peace and hope for tomorrow. Reach out in faith today and experience His healing touch. God bless!
