Just a touch!

Its so encouraging to know that just a touch can make all the difference. What a privilege we have.




Lets look at a few examples from scripture:



Leprosy departed



Mark 1: 40 – 42



And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.



And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.



And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.




Fever departed



Mark 1: 29 – 31


And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

Notice the last verse all the Lord did was take her by the hand, lift her up (no prayer) and the fever departed.




12 years issue of blood healed



Mark 5: 25 – 29

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.




Blindness healed


Mark 8: 22 – 25


And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.


And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.


And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.


After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.



Matthew 9: 27 – 30


And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.

And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.


And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.



A dead son received back to life!


Luke 7: 12 – 15


Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.


And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.



Deafness and impediment in speech healed


Mark 7: 32 – 35


And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.


And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;



And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.



And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.



Cut off ear healed and restored!


Just imagine an ear put back on with no surgery, just a touch from our Lord



Luke 22: 48 – 51



But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?


And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.



And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.



All kinds of diseases healed



Matthew 14: 35 – 36

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;


And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.


Luke 6: 19

And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.


Mark 6:56


And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.




But the situation has persisted? Don’t listen to the lies of the devil, its nothing in the eyes of the Lord. Be encouraged by these scriptures and be rest assured that the Lord will do it.
