3. EXPECT HEALING … From Christ our Miracle Worker Mark 5:34 “Daughter, your faith has healed you (Greek sozo i.e. has saved you). Go in peace and be freed from your suffering”. Question: What did this nameless woman say and do to attract the power and grace of God? Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

4. Question: How can we activate and release our faith potential? 1. By receiving the hope-filled words of Jesus … Vs 27 “When she heard about Jesus”… Romans 10:17 “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.”

5. 2. By courageously breaking free from impossibility thinking Mark 5:27 “She came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak”. Mark 10:27 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

6. 3.By developing a deep inner conviction that Jesus is willing and able to work miracles V28 … because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Mark 11:24 “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
