READ: Mark 5:25-34 Open Heaven 28 August 2021
25. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26. And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28. For she said If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30. 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?
31. And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32. And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

MESSAGE: – Open Heaven 28 August 2021 Saturday Daily Devotional
Reports have revealed that both orthodox and traditional medical practitioners have confessed their limitations in the healing process. Both orthodox and traditional medical practitioners are known to tell terminally ill patients to go home and prepare to die after their best efforts to save such lives have failed.
Mark 5:25-28 tells us the story of a woman with the issue of blood: “And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 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.”
In this story, we see how the helplessness of physicians made the woman desperate for a miracle.
When human beings cannot help a fellow it becomes apparent that the case would require divine intervention. The woman said in her heart that if she could just touch Jesus’ clothes, she would be made whole. She did and she got her healing.
Jesus Christ knew that healing virtue had gone out of Him and asked for the identity of the fellow who touched Him. The Bible says the woman, though afraid, told Jesus what and how it happened. It is interesting to note that instead of Jesus Christ rebuking her or taking back the virtue that had healed her, He commended her faith.
Jesus said ..Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace and be whole of thy plague (Mark 5:34).
Beloved, it takes a divine touch to get such a miracle. If we can only have faith in Jesus Christ the Great Miracle-Worker, we would also become candidates for miracles. Our memory verse affirms that such faith in Christ is not misplaced. Jesus bore our sins in His body and His innocent blood was shed for our salvation, deliverance, and healing. Thus, it is left for us to believe and receive our miracles. Are you facing any health challenge? Maybe medical practitioners have even described it as incurable. I assure you that as you exercise your faith today, Jehovah-Rapha will make you whole in Jesus’ name. Amen.

PASS ME NOT O GENTLE SAVIOR
1. Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
CHORUS
Saviour, Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
2. Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
3. Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by thy grace.
4. Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have lon earth beside Thee?
Whom in heaven but Thee?
