WHATEVER IT TAKES
By: Dina Boitnott
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 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. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said. Who touched my clothes?
Mark 5:27-30 KJV
We all know that there is only one way to be saved—Jesus. However, healing isn't the same. God so wants us healed that He has given us many different examples of how to receive healing. For example, the leper had to first know God's will (Mark 1), Jesus told the man borne by four friends that his sins were forgiven (Mark 2) because condemnation could have been hindering him from receiving. The centurion’s servant in Matthew 8 was healed by faith that if Jesus just said the word, he would be healed. Jesus had to take the blind man of Bethsaida out of town, away from doubt and unbelief (Mark 8).
Anointing oil and prayer cloths are other examples of a point of contact for your faith. This woman in Mark 5 had faith that if she could just touch the hem of Jesus’ garment she would be healed. The hem didn't heal her, it was the point of contact she used to release her faith to pull the healing anointing out.
Whatever it takes for your faith to rise up unhindered to receive is what your Father wants for you. Search the scriptures, allow yourself to be led by the Spirit, Who knows all, to guide you into your complete healing.
