WHAT IS YOUR ISSUE
Mark 5:25-34

The woman with the issue of blood came to Jesus to be delivered from what had been a heavy burden upon her life. She came expecting and she left with manifestation. If she had not come to Jesus, her story would have been like many that live and died because of their issue. Jesus was not telling jokes, neither was He sharing fables when He declared in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and you will find rest for your souls.” What is stopping you from taking your issue to Him today? Yesterday is gone, and the result of yesterday should not be a discouragement for today.  The woman with the issue of blood by law should not have been near anyone Leviticus 15:19, “If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall be set apart seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.” The law as stated in Leviticus could not prevent her nor set her apart from her deliverance when she went after Jesus to touch His garment. The Bible recorded that she came from behind. She was desperate for her healing after twelve years; she refused to remain quiet to herself but violated the law with expectation for her healing. The woman with the issue of blood, the man with an issue of lack, the brother with the issue of financial difficulties, the couple with the issue of barrenness, the people with issues that are troubling, and all kinds of issue will get their breakthrough if they reach out and touch the same garment of the Healing Healer. Nothing is too difficult for Him if you will not find it difficult to bring it to Him, regardless of all surrounding circumstances of denial. “Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.” (Mark 5:25-27) The woman with issue of blood had suffered enough to give up, but she didn’t. The Bible said when “she heard about Jesus” she made all the necessary effort to come and reach Him by touching Him. The woman with issue of blood exercised “against all odds faith”. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Go and remind Him concerning the work of His hands and He will be provoked to answer you.

Prayer for today: Hear my cry O Lord my God; give ear to my prayer, answer me according to the multitude of your mercy.
