and gave them power over unclean spirits;
And they the 12 disciples went out, and
preached that men should repent. And they
cast out many devils, and anointed with
oil many that were sick, and healed them
(Mark 6:7,12,13).
Miracles come through faith.
As the disciples went forth, multitudes of
people were coming to the Lord; and they had
great faith to receive miracles. And believers
were the more added to the Lord,
multitudes both of men and women.) They
brought forth the sick into the streets, and
laid them on beds and couches, that at the
least the shadow of Peter passing by might
overshadow some of them (Acts 5:14,15). In
these cases, Peter’s shadow was the point of
contact.
Be Determined to Press On
The Bible tells us that a woman with an
issue of blood took that step of faith to receive
her miracle from Jesus, and her point of contact
was the hem of Jesus’ garment. 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. And
straightway the fountain of her blood was
dried up; and she felt in her body that she
was healed of that plague (Mark 5:25–29).
It is hard to say how many people followed
Jesus that day, but we do know that as many
as 5000 people had gathered to see Him. That
woman was in desperate need, and no one
could help her; so Jesus was her last hope. She
had probably endured many painful tests and
procedures without getting any better, but she
didn’t allow the discouraging words from her
physicians to keep her from pressing toward
Jesus.
The woman was weak in body and weary in
mind, but her desperation for a miracle kept
her focused on Jesus. I’m sure she didn’t feel
like fighting the crowds of people that surrounded
Him, but her divine hope and faith
gave her the strength she needed to press
through to Jesus and touch the hem of His
garment.
It appears that the woman had a lot of
money because the Bible said she spent all she
had, but it doesn’t matter how much money
you have if it can’t bring you good health.
Many wealthy people have spent thousands
of dollars on doctors and medicine without
any success, and they have died of incurable
diseases. But with God, nothing is impossible.
You don’t need money to receive a miracle
from the Lord; you only need faith to believe.
According to Your Faith
Put yourself in that woman’s position. The
devil has fought your health for 12 years, and
you are so tired and ill as you try to make
your way through a huge crowd of people.
Then you see an opening, and you have only
a few more steps to get to Jesus; but the
devil will fight you the hardest when

Two of my children, Joel and Tumelo,
had a prolonged cough for over 5 months.
It did not go away despite using different
medicines. After prayer using the blest cloth,
the cough is gone. Thank you for all your
prayers. God bless you, Reverend, and your
team. Pray so that God can use me to win
the lost and so that He uses me as He is
using you. At times, I do some Bible fasting.
Thank you for all your love, support and
understanding.
