Strive to Survive: TOUCHING JESUS

Strive to Survive: TOUCHING JESUS

TOUCHING JESUS

Matt. 5: 25-34 Fear not, Daughter! Thy Faith has made thee whole." 
Several months ago, I felt that God was telling me to claim HEALING from morbid-obesity and the lingering scars that it has left on my body and soul!
Since Sept 1st, I have be re-losing weight that I had gradually gained during 2013, and am now nearing my lowest weight in recent years!
The Bible tells of a woman who was instantly healed by merely touching the Hem of Christ's garment. Believing that He could do what the medical profession of her day could not do, she dared to touch Him that day!
Though the medical leaders of today have no real cure for obesity, I am claiming physical and emotional healing from the Lord. He has touched my soul, healing the hurts there, and I am using the dietary tools He has given me through Dr. Chuck Shaffer and www.weighstation.net  to lose weight and regain my physical health.  Rejecting my fears, by Faith I claim it!

The tune for the following song is on the Hymnal.net widgit at the bottom right of this page. You can play the song and follow the lyrics below.  It has Blessed my heart this a.m! As you listen to the music and prayerfully consider the message, I trust it will do the same for you! Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever! He can heal us now!

SHE ONLY TOUCHED THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT

She only touched the hem of His garment
As to His side she stole,
Amid the crowd that gathered around Him;
And straightway she was whole.

Oh, touch the hem of His garment! And thou, too, shalt be free!

His saving power this very hour Shall give new life to thee!

* He’s pow’rful, present, real and gracious;
Thou too canst touch Him now!
Just come and touch while He is still passing.
His power thou shalt know

Oh, touch the hem of His garment! And thou, too, shalt be free!
His saving power this very hour Shall give new life to thee!

 *Just touch in faith and touch Him in Spirit,
And He will make thee whole;
And peace that passeth all understanding
With joy will fill thy soul!

Oh, touch the hem of His garment! And thou, too, shalt be free!
His saving power this very hour Shall give new life to thee!
