The Healer was written from the three small accounts in Matthew, Mark and Luke of the woman who touched Jesus' cloak. As I studied these stories, I started to see everyday principles from this brave faith-filled woman. I saw myself as the woman - broken and unclean. I too had tried many other avenues to get healing, but none worked and things even got worse. I saw the crowd in the story as the world that pressed around Jesus and blocked Him from me. The world was so loud and distracting, I couldn't even see Jesus. The world told me I was too unclean and inferior to be close to Him. But faith is only as strong as what you have faith in. My faith was in God's promises and just like the woman who had faith in Jesus, we were both healed. I'm sure she got shoved back, ridiculed and even beaten. But her faith in Jesus gave her the strength and courage to fight through them. Jesus' own words were, “Your faith has healed you.” When the world presses around Jesus, there are some days I have to fight through the crowd. But my faith and strength comes from His promises of who He is in me. So I will push though the crowd daily, because I am His and He is the only healer.
