Do You Have a Blood Issue?

I’ve been thinking about the woman with the issue of blood in Luke Chapter 8 verse 43-48

“And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, ⁴⁴ came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? ⁴⁶ And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. ⁴⁷ And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. ⁴⁸ And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

And I started thinking (because the Word of God is the same today, as it was yesterday, as it will be tomorrow…. How MANY of us have a “blood issue?”  It may not be of a physical, but of a spiritual nature.  What is it in your life, that you need to apply the blood of Jesus to?  

Is there something inside of you that is screaming out in pain?  Something that you know you need God to heal?  Be determined in your walk with Him to pursue Him and KNOW that He is approachable, and He WANTS you to reach out and touch Him.  TOUCH HIM.  Do not be afraid, do not allow the naysayers or circumstances or ANYTHING to keep you from a God who LOVES You.

What areas are you bleeding?  Give each one to the One Who died on the cross for forgiveness of your sins and bled for YOU.

Let’s pray – “Father God.  I love YOU.  I Need YOU.  I praise YOUR holy name!  Thank You for Your Word which teaches me.  Which directs me.  Which heals me.  You have given it to me for a reason.  Help me to take sustenance from it.  To believe it.  To trust it. To love it.  Help ME to understand what I read.  Help me to walk IN faith and to believe that You love me.  I am ever aware of my constant need to touch You.  To allow You to heal what needs healing.  Help me never to be afraid to move forward and seek you.  You tell me in Your Word:

“Ask and it will be given to you.  Seek and you will find.  Knock and the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7).

I only need to believe… Father, I am reaching out in faith and touching Your garment.  Please apply Your precious blood to every wound I have.  Even those that have been self-inflicted.  Please stop the flow of pain.  Please bind up every wound and apply Your precious blood to it.  Especially those that are heart wounds.  I need healing Father.  Just as the woman indicated above had a blood issue.  I have one too.  Heal me Father, as You healed her.  You are the Only One who can.  I thank You that You gave her in Your Word as an example for me to do as she did – seek You.  Heal every wound, bind them up and cover them completely with Your healing love.  I know that Greater is He that is in me than he that is within the world.  My faith and my trust for this healing over myself, over my life, over my situations, over my loved ones – rest ONLY in You.  Please be glorified.   In Jesus precious name, I thank You and I pray. Amen.”
