I was ministering to a friend how had just gone through chemotherapy for cancer. The doctors told him if he did nothing he would maybe live for six months. This friend had overcome several hardships in the past, so I knew he had the faith to overcome this diagnosis. I was led to read the story about the woman with the issue of blood. (Mark 5:21-34) While reading this story I noticed the importance of speaking words of faith. Because the story said that the woman kept saying to herself, “If I could just touch his clothes I will be healed.” Once the woman touched Jesus garment, the Bible said the woman was immediately healed. It also said that Jesus felt power leave his body.
There were many people around Jesus that day, who were touching Him; they didn’t get healed. I am sure many people who were wanted to be healed, but only the woman with the issue of blood received her healing. Why? Because she released her faith through her words. She established a point of contact to release her faith, by saying, “If I only could touch His garment I will be healed.” She spoke her faith and acted on it. This gets God’s attention. It’s not just praying and reciting scriptures. But it is speaking and believing that causes the receiving. Search the Word and find the promises that apply to your need, and speaking them boldly with the expectation it will happen. This is what gets God’s attention.
