Mark 5:25-34
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.
Matthew 6:33
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Let me lay out this story. It's about this woman who was sick, commonally known as the woman with the issue of blood. She was sick in her body and wanted her healing. So she went and did what any normal person would do, she went to see the Dr.! Picture this, she went to the doctor and they tried one thing. It didn't work. then she went to another doctor and then they told her the same thing! She began to spend all of her money on all of these physcians trying to be healed. What's wrong with this is she took things into her own hands. She began to work on her own. As a result, she lost her money, had nothing, and still was sick!
She heard that Jesus was in town and she immediately knew that the fix for her problem rested in Him. The only thing that she wanted was a healing and knew who could make it possible. Her faith positioned her for this healing. Her faith enabled her to attain her healing. By her faith, in touching the garments of Jesus, she was healed!
Examining what happened, she could have easily believed on Jesus and attained her healing. Instead of believing she needed that touch. Get this, she didn't even touch Jesus, she just came close and touched his garment. All we need to do is work our way close to Jesus! Get near Him to catch that annointing that he has for you. Get close to Him to attain the healing and deliverance that you desire. All it takes is a strong desire, on your behalf, to get closer to God and the things that God has in store for you can be yours!
Matthew 6:33 says that we need to seek the kingdom of God FIRST! That means that in order to get these things that we desire (healing, deliverance, breakthroughs, tangibles), we need to first concentrate on God. We need to better our relationship with God. Fasting to control our flesh so we don't fall out of line in our desires. First things first, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
