April 27, 2025

24 …A large crowd followed and pressed around him.
25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.
26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. —Mark 5:24b - 26

Socially powerless

Religiously powerless

Professionally powerless

Financially powerless

Physically powerless

Emotionally powerless

Keep pressing on toward healing

27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,
28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” —Mark 5:27 - 28

Believe that Jesus’ power really can flow into your powerlessness

29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
30  At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. —Mark 5:29 - 30

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. —2 Corinthians 12:9

Remember that, beyond a power encounter, Jesus wants a personal encounter with you.

32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.
33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.
34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” —Mark 5:32 - 34
